Chapter 242: Evil Wolf Zhang is in charge

"Back to the princess, the little one has just inquired, and every housekeeper Qiu has issued copper coins, and they are also distributed according to the population, but each string of money is missing a small half."

The two family members stood outside the pavilion and returned to Luo Qing.

Luo Qing blew the hot tea, lowered his head and took a sip, and then said slowly: "Originally, I could ignore some trivial things, it can be said that I knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and I have already reached the cusp of this storm. ”

"If a cowardly person doesn't take me seriously, then no one below will take me seriously. If the prince doesn't come forward to take care of these things for a long time, they will also be the prince and don't want to take care of it, and it will not be good if something happens when the time comes. ”

Liuxi nodded yes, and gave two instructions to the family members on the side, asking them to find Steward Qiu and several village heads in Beijizhuang.

Steward Qiu got up early in the morning and originally planned to wait for Luo Qing to call him, but he didn't expect that people would get up earlier than him, and he came to the field alone, which made him anxious, and Luo Qing found him at this time.

Luo Qing didn't go around the bend anymore, and asked directly: "Steward Qiu can send all those copper coins to the tenants in the village yesterday?" ”

Steward Qiu stood outside the pavilion and rubbed his hands, and said flatteringly: "The princess's explanation of the matter is naturally in her heart, and she will send those copper coins that night." ”

"I still wonder if this copper coin is not enough, I will send someone to ask today, and every string of silver in every household is missing a few copper plates."

Luo Qing's eyes did not change much behind the long gauze hat, but his tone became more and more serious.

"I'm still wondering if I'm not good at it? I can't even do this little errand, but I can't count the string of four hundred copper plates? Although it's not much, it's also a heart, it can't be a few words less, and that one is a few words, right? ”

When Steward Qiu heard this, he was so frightened that he was dripping with cold sweat in the winter, and the beads of sweat on his forehead continued to slide down, and he didn't even dare to wipe his sleeves, so he only said, "There is such a thing?" The small ones will be taken back again, so that they can be counted. ”

"Steward Qiu, my Prince Yi's Mansion treats you well, right? You're still here, and you're going to mess around right under my nose, if I don't know how you're bullying the tenant farmers! However, you have to pick up a few copper plates, the pattern is too small, how can you be the steward of Prince Yi's mansion? ”

Luo Qing put the tea bowl on the table, and was so shocked that Steward Qiu knelt down directly.

"The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life, I really don't know about this matter, it's all ...... Yes, they are all these heads under my hands, I don't know, it is ...... later."

Several village leaders looked at him angrily, he swallowed his saliva, and was speechless for a while.

Luo Qing glanced at the villagers, and the villagers hurriedly lowered their heads and knelt down.

"What happened?" She asked coldly.

"I didn't find out until they sent me the copper plate this morning." Steward Qiu's voice was getting lower and lower.

"Really?" Luo Qing's voice raised, and he asked a few more Zhuang heads.

Those few bankers would not admit it, and they were busy excusing themselves.

"First of all, Steward Qiu did this, and then we also thought that we were just greedy for a little bit. It's cheap, don't dare to take more tenants, just give Qiu Steward a little filial piety when the time comes, and I didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew it in their hearts. ”

Yizhuangtou took the lead in shaking Steward Qiu out.

The other head of the village also hurriedly chimed in.

"Yes, Princess, we're just coveting a little one. Cheap, don't dare to take more tenants...... Qiu Guan did this beforehand......"

"Okay, what a filial piety, why don't you see you honoring me, honoring the prince?"

Luo Qing sneered.

The gang knew that Luo Qing was really angry, and they didn't dare to treat her as a little girl, so they immediately begged for mercy.

But Luo Qing would not be soft-hearted at this time, and immediately said: "Liuxi, according to the family rules, let's dispose of it." ”

"Yes." Liuxi bowed down with Luo Qing respectfully, and then turned around and talked about the punishment of several people.

Since they are greedy for the money of the Mo master's family, they naturally want to twist and send it to the yamen, so as not to say that they are abused by Prince Yi's mansion to lynch them, then it is not clear.

There is no one left who can manage things here, and when the time comes, the matter will be handed over directly to the palace, Luo Qing has a big head when he thinks about it, and when he hurries to Nanling Village, he urges Liuxi to find a few more stewards and Zhuang heads.

Liuxi saw Luo Qing's big-headed appearance, and felt that their princess really looked like a prince when she was doing things, and she was very decisive, but after dealing with the things that should be handled, she really looked like a little girl again.

"Although the princess can rest assured, the slave has already sent a message back to the palace to handle it, and when the princess returns from the Zhuangzi tour, she can take a look at the people and see if they are available."

Luo Qing pretended to be deep and said: "I don't worry about you doing things." ”

If she hadn't sat on the shelf chair, I'm afraid she would have to pat Liuxi on the shoulder, which was really weird, and made everyone snicker.

"Princess, the slave will first tell you about the manager of this Nanling Village." Luo Qing nodded, and Liu Xi continued, "As for him, he is different from the steward of Beijizhuang, he is much more shrewd and bold, his ancestors have also been officials, and his wife's maiden family is still a distant cousin of Mrs. Yong'anbo." ”

"Not only that, but he is also a person with some means, and those who govern the people of Nanlingzhuang obediently are all towards him, and in the past few years that the prince has left, he has become more and more rampant."

"The slave originally wanted to rectify him, thinking that when the prince left, he told him not to make a big move in the palace and act in a low-key manner, but the slave was afraid that this move would annoy Steward Zhang and let him break the net, and he was also afraid that someone with a heart would take the opportunity to plant someone in the palace, so he had to give up."

Needless to say, Luo Qing also understood, but I was afraid that people would not be able to find out if they visited their usual food and clothing, and it was not someone who could be sent away with two baskets of copper plates, and what was even more annoying was that I was afraid that this person had committed something by himself, and when the time came, he would be able to make trouble as soon as he replaced him, and in the end, the palace was embarrassed.

"In that case, I will not see anything wrong with the ledger, and I will have to trouble you to point me out when the time comes."

Liuxi bowed slightly and said to Luo Qing: "The princess is polite, this is a matter for the slaves." ”

Not to mention, this steward is really different, just looking at the dress is not out of order, and it is almost the same as those Zhuang heads, so he looks very honest.

Originally, she had already told people in advance that they would not come to the village to pick up their children and wait in the village, but this steward was different, and she picked them up outside the village early.

"There is a fork in the road here, the princess came for the first time, and the little one was afraid that the princess would go wrong, and it would be difficult to sit still, so he disobeyed the princess's words and came to this village to pick up the princess."

Luo Qing had to admire this steward, he was really not a dog-legged politeness, but he showed her a hand in a small matter, and gave her a dismount.

If I don't listen to you, what can you do to me?

The dog-legged and polite person is like the Qiu steward of Beijizhuang, and after being mentioned by the person sent by himself, he will not come to the village to pick her up in person, but this steward is not, it is clearly an honest face, with a pair of wolf eyes, and he doesn't look like a good stubble.

"It's bothering to take care of Zhang."

With that, she winked and let people move on.

But this steward was really enthusiastic, and as soon as he entered the village, he began to talk about how the field was and how the harvest had been in recent years.

Luo Qing leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and responded to two sentences from time to time.

But the steward didn't seem to feel annoying, and glanced at Liuxi with his wolf eyes maliciously, and said: "It's just that the small ones can't be better managed than the Liuxi father-in-law, who has stayed in the palace, and his knowledge is much wider than that of us who stay in the countryside." ”

Luo Qing's pair of beautiful eyebrows hidden under the long gauze hat frowned unconsciously, this steward spoke with a gun and a stick, and he actually used these words to stab Liuxi.

It's just that before she had time to say anything, Qingxing was rarely angry.

"Steward Zhang, Steward Liuxi is well-informed, otherwise he would not be valued by the prince and be the steward of the palace, not the steward of any side."

Steward Zhang seemed to not understand Qingxing's words, and then said something that seemed to be a compliment but was actually extremely sarcastic.

"Father-in-law Liuxi is younger than me, and his face is much better than that of me, a person who has been in the countryside all the year round, and he can handle it, and following the prince and princess must have a bright future."

As he spoke, he looked up at Luo Qing again.

"The little ones don't want to be around, just nest in this rural place to serve the prince and the princess, thanks to the blessing of the prince and the princess, I also married a wife and gave birth to a few babies, and my life is simple, but it is the happiness that others can't ask for."

That's too much, isn't this just mocking Liuxi for being a eunuch?

Qingxing was even more angry, and was about to reason with him again, but was pulled by the six preferences temperamentally.

But Luo Qing couldn't see the old man in the mansion who had accompanied Yan Huai through so many ups and downs and was insulted by a villain.

"I'm wondering, since Steward Zhang likes this simple life, does this steward of Nanlingzhuang disturb your tranquility and cause you a lot of inconvenience?"

Steward Zhang didn't know that Luo Qing was so sharp and sharp in his young years, and he was speechless for a while, and it was easy to react to give himself a round, but Luo Qing didn't give him this opportunity.

"Liuxi is well-informed, walking all over the capital, not to mention the good temperament of the first part, but also the first part of the advance and retreat, since you only want the hot kang head of the mother-in-law and children, then you don't have to be in charge, our prince is the most considerate of people, and I don't want to force people."

Steward Zhang knew that Luo Qing was angry, and he was also a little panicked, but he thought that he had been operating in Nanlingzhuang for many years, and he was a little sure.

"Where's the Princess? The little one is loyal to the prince and the princess, and the little one has no meaning to say it, and the little one wants to stay in this Nanling Village and do his part for Prince Yi's mansion. ”

Luo Qing snorted coldly: "The chief steward of Prince Yi's Mansion is Liuxi, since you want to run an errand for the palace, then you have to listen to Liuxi, you don't even respect Liuxi, how can I believe that you can respect the prince and me?" ”
