Chapter 62: Mrs. Jingnanhou
The prefect came in a hurry after a cup of tea, and the official clothes on his body were crumpled, and the official hat on his head didn't know where it was crooked.
Looking at the things in the house, he already knew three points, and secretly scolded this envoy in his heart for being too arrogant, and he had to please the prince on his face, so he could only say with a righteous face: "Why haven't people dragged this pickled thing out?" ”
"Prefect, what did you just do?"
The expression on the face of the prince was more gentle, and the prefect knew that this lord's temperament was completely hidden in his smile, and the brighter he smiled, the more panicked he became.
"The prince spares his life!" The prefect was much smarter, and he didn't say what he was doing, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times first, listening to the sound was really loud, Bai Jin looked back after watching the mess clean up, and the prefect's forehead was already a little bruised.
"Don't shout for mercy yet, I have a few words I want to ask you." Wei Yan said coldly.
"Yes, yes, the villain must know everything."
"Then I'll ask directly," Wei Yan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "From the eleventh year of the Yuan Ding to the fifteenth year of the Yuan Ding Dynasty, how many salt quotations did the county government give from the salt introduction division?" ”
"Only the Liu family four years ago, one at a time."
"How many people have come to ask for salt?"
"It's only the Liu family." The prefect replied quickly, and he was determined.
"It's only the Liu family?" Wei Yan sneered, "It was the Salt Quotation Division that stopped all the other people who wanted to ask for the Salt Introduction, today this Shizi wants to come to the door to ask for the Salt Introduction, this guard looks at the Salt Introduction, but he is quite familiar with the road, it seems that this kind of thing is not less." ”
Which guard is so short-eyed that even the prince dares to stop him, and he won't tell him if he stops?
The prefect scolded a few more times in his heart, but he didn't know that it was Bai Jin who wanted the salt, and the guards had already been knocked unconscious and thrown at the door.
"This ......"
The prefect was still hesitant to tell the truth, but the prince had already taken a book from Yun Luan's hand and threw it in front of him and said, "Take a look for yourself, from eleven to fifteen years, the applications of the people of the Salt Quotation Division to ask for salt quotation are all here, but each of them has been rejected." ”
He had already investigated the matter clearly, and this time with Bai Jin coming over, it was not outdated to want to rectify the atmosphere of the county government.
In recent years, he has paid too much attention to the Liu family, but has neglected this place, which has led to the fact that this place has long been corrupted by the Liu family into this state, and it is no wonder that the Liu family dares to be so majestic in Jingnan City.
"The villain has nothing to say, please send it down." Even with the evidence in front of him, what else can he say? Or an early confession.
Wei Yan's brows stretched slightly: "It's not necessary to send it down, you still sit well in the position of this prefect, you can take her to register the salt introduction in a while, and then send a list of people who are connected with the Liu family in this yaya to the Hou Mansion before tomorrow." ”
"If this happens again, you and your family will do it yourself." The prince expressed the thoughts of the Zhujiu clan quite euphemistically.
"Yes......"
The prefect was like falling into the river, his whole body was already soaked, he saluted and quickly got up and took a watch and handed it to Bai Jin, who glanced at it twice and waved his paw at the prince.
"Your Highness, can you write it for the slave family?" Bai Jin blinked and asked, "The slave family will only draw small turtles with a brush." ”
His Royal Highness the Prince, who was still imposing just now, took the brush in her hand and actually really started to help her fill in the form, and the prefect raised his head to take a look, but suddenly the voice of the Prince's head came overhead.
"Look at your own tricks again."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Today may be the humblest day of the prefect.
I didn't expect to get the salt introduction so smoothly, Bai Jin put this piece of iron lump into her arms extra carefully on the way back, and was laughed at by Wei Yan, she snorted lightly and ignored him.
The prince was still very busy, the carriage had only gone two alleys, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a letter, Bai Jin thought that there was probably something wrong with this person, anyway, this is not far from the Hou Mansion, so he got off the carriage here.
There was a carriage parked at the gate of the Hou Mansion in Jingnan, and it looked like it had nothing to do with the other carriages of the Hou Mansion, but Bai Jin noticed a circle of cotton cloth tied to the wheels of the carriage.
It is not uncommon to tie cotton cloth on the carriage, which can make the carriage drive more stable, especially if you have to walk various mountain roads, Bai Jin looked at the cloth strip and wore it a little badly, thinking that it had been tied for a long time or walked the mountain road.
There were a lot of people coming and going in the Jingnan Hou Mansion, and Bai Jin didn't think about it and said hello to the porter as usual and entered the mansion.
The atmosphere in the mansion is a little different from usual, almost most of the entire Jingnan Hou Mansion is dominated by small maids, and there are not many maids, but recently, Bai Jin can bump into a maid who bows her head and walks in a hurry every few steps.
Except for the maid assigned to her by Wei Yan in her yard, she was not familiar with anything else, and Bai Jin muttered strangely in her heart. When passing by the edge of the garden pond, I saw two people standing by the lake to feed the fish.
She remembered that there seemed to be carp in this fish pond in the house, and Bai Jin leaned over curiously and saw a huge giant carp eating steamed bread crumbs in the pond.
Bai Jin: "......"
The two of them also looked at her when they heard the movement, and Bai Jin saw the appearance of these two people clearly, they were not very old, they were in their forties, the style of the clothes they wore was quite simple, and the material was similar to the clothes Bai Jin was wearing, but the aura on his body was a little compelling.
Although the woman on the side was a little old, her face was indeed quite beautiful and her figure was still graceful, and Bai Jin was attracted by just a glance.
And how did Bai Jin look at the appearance of these two people more and more familiarly, stacking the two faces of these two people together as if they were one person......
Lord Shizi!
Shocked, the woman's hand was already on her head, she rubbed her hair, and said, "Where did this little girl come from?" Looking at the costumes, they are not the maids in our house. ”
Bai Jin pursed his lips and smiled, and said very naturally: "Slave maid Jin'er, it is the maid who was newly recruited by the prince to serve him closely, so the clothes are naturally a little different from other maids. ”
"Oh?" The woman smiled and said to the man beside her, "The concubine has always thought that Yan'er was the only one to serve Yunluan, but I didn't expect to find a maid, it seems that the maid we sent before is not his appetite." ”
Saying that, her hand had moved from Bai Jin's head to her chin, and she lifted her face when she pinched it, Bai Jin's eyes were a little weak, but the woman was not embarrassed for her, and looked carefully for a moment and said: "It's indeed Peugeot, and I don't know where Yan'er bought the maid." ”
Bai Jin's eyebrows lowered slightly: "Madame said that she laughed." ”
