"This ......"

"Okay, this is my order, you are just acting on orders, what's so terrible?"

After speaking, he took Wan Bingyu back to the room to rest.

Sure enough, the next day, the streets and alleys of Liangzhou City spread all over the city, and the newly appointed prefect not only gave Pingxihou a dismissal on the first day of his tenure, but even returned Pingxihou's gifts.

Liangzhou City has been protecting each other for many years, endangering one party, and I have never seen such a bold official.

Isn't it that the wind direction in Liangzhou City is about to change?

Within half a day, these words drifted into Xue Ruijin's ears, and the Pingxi Hou Mansion fell into unprecedented tension.

"This Heng Xinyuan, what is the origin, Ben Hou gave him a congratulatory gift, he can afford him, but he gave me back! Now the city is talking, what wind direction has changed, the court has come to the big officials to rectify, I'm bah! Ben Hou wants to see where he has the courage to rectify me! ”

Xue Ruijin pinched his waist and spun around in the room, and Master Wang on the side also didn't dare to come out, so he could only persuade, "Master Hou, don't worry, this Hengxin is far away, but it is just the three fires of the new official taking office, and when he understands the situation in Liangzhou, he will naturally understand." ”

"What about the woman?" Xue Ruijin asked, "How are you doing these days?" ”

"It's good to be locked in the wing, but it's still the same, I only eat a few bites of food a day, and I listen to the maid who waits, and my health seems to be a little bad."

"What?" Xue Ruijin grabbed Master Wang's collar, "I'm not telling you, you have to watch her well, you can't let her die, don't eat, pinch my mouth and pour it into me if I don't eat!" ”

Master Wang hurriedly said again and again, "Yes, yes...... Got it, I'm going to ......."

"Master Hou, Lord Li Qin has sent someone to deliver a message, saying that this month's salt has arrived in the salt warehouse." A servant outside the door whispered.

"Got it! Go back and tell him, Ben Hou will go immediately! Xue Ruijin raised a smug look on his face again, and took Master Wang out of the mansion and headed towards the Liangzhou salt warehouse.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that there was already a group of people waiting outside.

It's a person from the prefect of Liangzhou!

He secretly said bad in his heart, led people to rush in, and sure enough, he saw Heng Xinyuan with an indifferent face in the courtyard, and Li Qin, the history of Yanyun with a panicked face.

"What's going on!" He pointed at Li Qin and shouted.

Li Qin replied tremblingly, "Master Hou, this, I don't know, someone just knocked on the door, I thought it was someone from the Hou Mansion who came, who knows, it was Lord Heng from the Liangzhou Prefect." ”

Xue Ruijin looked at him with an indifferent expression, "Lord Heng, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?" ”

"That's this, I should ask Hou Ye Xue, if I'm not wrong, this should be the salt warehouse in Liangzhou, why did Hou Ye come here?" Heng Xinyuan looked at him lightly, and his heart was already clear.

"You didn't come to the wrong place, but all the salt here belongs to my Pingxi Hou Mansion!" Xue Ruijin roared loudly, and even Li Qin beside him shuddered.

Heng Xinyuan took a step forward, his eyes were like a sharp blade, "This is obviously the official salt transported by the imperial court to Liangzhou!" When did it become all of your Pingxi Hou Mansion! Could it be that Hou Ye Xue and Master Li Qin are doing something unseemly in private? ”

"This, this, this...... Xiaguan did not ...... The lower official didn't ......" Li Qin broke out in a cold sweat, raised his hand tremblingly, and wiped the sweat beads on his head with his sleeve.

"In that case, then Master Li will explain to me, why there is not a single salt in the food in the restaurants in Liangzhou City, and why the people in Liangzhou City are sallow-faced and thin like firewood? Or, Master Li can also explain to me, why did you not go to the prefect to inform the official as soon as possible after this official salt was delivered to the salt warehouse, but to inform Marquis Xue first? ”

This series of questions, like cannonballs, directly frightened Xue Ruijin and Li Qin, standing in place and unable to say a word, just looking at each other.

Heng Xinyuan smiled faintly and walked around them twice, "Let's let me tell you, over the years, Lord Li must have received a lot of benefits from Hou Ye Xue, so that you will be bold enough to hand over the official salt to him, and then the Pingxi Hou Mansion will sell it at a high price through private trading, so that you can make a profit from it, this deal, even the official has to be moved." ”

"The surname is Heng! When you say this, you have to talk about evidence! Xue Ruijin was forced to be anxious, and his eyes were shining with fierce light.

But it didn't make Heng Xinyuan retreat at all, but made Heng Xinyuan more sure of his judgment, and at the same time let him see that Xue Ruijin was just a fierce and introverted person.

"Evidence? Since this official dared to come today, he naturally got the rumors, will there be no evidence in his hands? But if I give this evidence to the emperor......"

"Lord Heng, the lower officials know that they are wrong...... Xia Guan knew that he was wrong...... Xia Guan didn't dare anymore! Before Heng Xinyuan finished speaking, Li Qin's legs were already weak, he knelt on the ground and banged his head, and shouted again and again, "Master Heng...... Don't tell the emperor! ”

Xue Ruijin saw him like this, and the anger in his heart also faded by a while, "Heng Xinyuan, do you know that if you want to be an official in Liangzhou City, you have to abide by the rules, if you don't know what to do, don't blame Ben Hou for being unkind to you!" ”

"Oh? I don't know that as an official in Liangzhou, you still have to abide by the rules, what kind of rules do you follow? ”

"The rules of my Pingxi Hou Mansion!"

"The rules of the Pingxi Hou Mansion? Who gave you the right! Your Majesty! Heng Xinyuan suddenly roared, Xue Ruijin was speechless for a while, and Master Wang beside him hurriedly grabbed him and whispered a few words in his ear, and his face immediately softened.

smiled slightly, "Master Heng, let's see!" ”

Then he turned and left the granary with the whole group.

After he left, Li Qin, who had been kneeling on the ground, said tremblingly, "Master Heng, this, this is all the fault of the lower officials......"

"Lord Li, you are also an old official of the imperial court, and the emperor treats you well, why would you be in cahoots with this Xue Ruijin? Do you know what the people of Liangzhou say about you? Heng Xinyuan was a little sad and a little helpless.

Li Qin's eyes were red, and he sighed, "Lord Heng, at first, the lower officials were unwilling, and they also refused in every way, but this Xue Ruijin threatened the wife and children of the lower officials, and said...... If I don't listen to him, I'm going to disappear from this Liangzhou forever, and so is Xiaguan, there's no way......"

"Master Li, you should get up first." Heng Xinyuan helped him up, "I know you have difficulties, but I can't change the reality, from today onwards, the Liangzhou salt warehouse will be personally supervised by this official, you can stay in the mansion and rest for the time being." ”

"I ...... Ay...... Lord Heng, the lower officials also want to remind you, you must be careful of Xue Ruijin......" Li Qin shook Heng Xinyuan's hand helplessly, hung his head and left.

Heng Xin looked at the salt that had just been delivered to the warehouse, and suddenly felt joy in his heart.
