Chapter 477: Trouble in the Fields
Master Shao knows in his heart that he will not delay Qian Hui's study, don't worry. ”
Xue Yi explained lightly, with a smile on her face all the time, but Qian Qianqian didn't respond at all, just pursed her lips and pondered in her heart.
Xiao Mohan has been gone for more than half a month, counting the days, it should be almost to the frontier, there is no news from there, and Qian Qianqian's every day is very tormented.
Finally, on this day, Shao Huaigu came to teach Qian Hui to read, and was bumped into by Qian Qianqian, Shao Huaigu had bad legs and feet, stood in place, and nodded at Qian Qianqian.
"Miss Qian, it's not too early, I'm going to teach Qian Hui, otherwise it's Qian Hui's time that will be delayed."
"I know that Lord Shao is busy with official business now, and it is our honor to be able to come to teach Xiaohui, but as soon as the Lord returns to the court, he will leave this general's mansion behind, which is not good."
Qian Qianqian glanced at Shao Huaigu up and down, and said unceremoniously, her eyebrows were frowned, and her face was not very good.
"Qian Hui has learned a lot of things, it is when he wants to digest it himself, I am giving him this opportunity, if I still come every day like before, he can only learn by death, and he can't let go of it."
Shao Huaigu was not surprised at all, nor was he annoyed at all, he had a gentle temperament, no matter who he was dealing with, he rarely had a black face, and it was the same now.
"It seems that you have considered it very well, General Xiao is gone, what will happen to the DPRK?"
Qian Qianqian gradually calmed down, and then asked, not daring to relax in the slightest, her brows were twisted into a dead knot.
"The wind and waves in the middle of the court are calm, but the emperor is a little unwell and needs to recuperate, and Dr. Jiang is waiting by his side, so he really can't get out."
Shao Huaigu bowed slightly, his face did not change, his explanation was not leaky, and his every move was still respectful and polite.
"The emperor is sick?" Qian Qianqian's heart tightened, in fact, she had nothing to do with the emperor, but somehow, she was always a little uneasy, Xiao Mohan was fighting on the border, and the emperor was sick at this time, which was not a good thing.
"It's just a cold, it's nothing, Dr. Jiang's medical skills are excellent, and he should be fine in a few days."
Shao Huaigu said lightly, but Qian Qianqian knew that when the emperor was sick, Shao Huaigu should have the final say on the affairs of the court.
"Well, how's the Frontier? Is General Xiao still going well? ”
Qian Qianqian finally asked what she was most concerned about, Xiao Mohan has not heard any news to the general's mansion, maybe Shao Huaigu knows something, after all, Xiao Mohan is fighting outside, and he must also have contact with the imperial court.
"The march went well, I don't know about the rest, General Xiao only handed over an excerpt three days ago, and the rest is nothing."
Shao Huaigu shook his head, looking sincere, what he said should be true, it seems that there is really no news from Xiao Mohan's side.
"This kind of thing is a war, it is originally changing rapidly, and it is impossible for General Xiao to bring back a letter from time to time, but if something really happens, the news will definitely reach the capital, so if there is no news, it is good news."
Shao Huaigu saw the worry in Qian Qianqian's heart, although she smeared fat powder on her face, she still couldn't stop the black green in front of her, it seemed that she hadn't slept well for a long time.
"I hope so." Qian Qianqian let out a long sigh and lowered her eyelids slightly, her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes.
Shao Huaigu quickly went to find Qian Hui, Qian Qianqian stood in place, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until Xue Yi reminded her beside her, and she was shocked.
"I want to go to the field to see how Wu Shun is taking care of it and whether the grain is harvested properly."
Qian Qianqian turned her head and gave Xue Yi a look, Xue Yi saw that she finally wanted to leave the house, so she immediately agreed.
Xue Yi went to prepare the carriage, and accompanied Qian Qianqian out of the house, Yuan Ying followed behind, Qian Qianqian didn't let Xue Yi inform Qian Mu, so no one knew about Qian Mu.
The fields on the outskirts are very remote, all the way to the capital, as usual, the market is still full of people, and there is no sign of being destroyed by Xiao Heng before.
"As Lord Shao said earlier, who are the big families in the court who secretly support Xiao Heng?"
Qian Qianqian lifted the curtain, poked her head out, and looked out a few times, this piece is the mansion of the royal mansion of the family, so it is very clean, and there are precious green plants planted around, and it is a good place in the capital at a glance.
"It's Li Huai, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and Lieutenant General Ye Pei, the Li family and the Ye family are both old men in the capital, Li Huai is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and Ye Pei's grandfather followed the emperor to fight the world at the beginning of the Xiao Kingdom, so the status of these two families in the capital is extraordinary."
Xue Yi stretched out her hand and pointed over, Qian Qianqian looked in the direction of her finger, and indeed saw the two mansions, from the outside, they were indeed luxurious, and there were also guards at the door, although they were not as good as the General's Mansion, but they were about to catch up with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
The squire and lieutenant general of the Ministry of Works are not high-ranking officials, and they can still live in such a gorgeous house, which shows their ambition.
"In this case, why is the emperor worried about a crime and get rid of them, this kind of person, it will be a scourge to keep it sooner or later, and it will be clean only when the grass is cut down."
Qian Qianqian's face sank, her eyes were shining with a cold light, and her red lips were pursed, revealing indescribable solemnity.
"Why doesn't the emperor want to get rid of them? When the first emperor was there, he was quite dissatisfied with them, and General Xiao wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, but they had a deep foundation and affected the whole body, so the emperor could only suppress them so far. ”
Xue Yi sighed, speaking of this, she was also very helpless, once Xiao Mohan thought about not doing two things, looking for some people in the rivers and lakes, to come to a case of extermination, but at that time, the first emperor was quite suspicious of him, afraid that these people would fall, Xiao Guo was the only one, so he never agreed, and this back and forth has dragged on to this day.
"The more the emperor suppresses them, the more dissatisfied they will be, they will never be able to think about the court and the Xiao country, they will only think about their own interests."
Qian Qianqian sneered, she has seen a lot of this kind of person, in the past, she was only a businessman, but she didn't know that the talents in officialdom were the most selfish and hypocritical.
"So, the emperor is also panicking this time, the weather is not cold now, how could the emperor suddenly catch the wind cold? Will there be anything greasy in the future? ”
Xue Yi is alert, she has been with Xiao Mohan for so many days, and she has learned a lot of things, so there are some things that others can't see, but she is like a mirror, so Xiao Mohan asked her to protect Qian Qianqian.
"You mean, maybe someone did something to do it?"
Qian Qianqian also suddenly came to her senses, looked at Xue Yi, and her brows twisted into a dead knot.
"Yes, although the Li family and the Ye family are in decline, they don't have to be in the past, but they also have a lot of eyeliner in the palace, and it is not difficult to put some effort into the emperor."
Xue Yi nodded slightly, guessing on her lips, in fact, as soon as she heard about this, she felt that something was not quite right, but Shao Huaigu didn't say anything, and she didn't want to speak rashly.
"In that case, the emperor is in danger."
Qian Qianqian pondered in her heart and whispered out a few words, but Xue Yi didn't think so.
"Not necessarily, there are Doctor Jiang and Qin Li in the palace, and Master Shao is staring at them, even if the Li family and the Ye family can do anything, they will only harm themselves in the end."
Xue Yi's eyes were full of unspeakable ridicule, thinking that clowns like the Li family and the Ye family would only dare to come out and jump while Xiao Mohan was gone, if Xiao Mohan was still there, they would all have to be people with their tails between their legs.
The carriage drove past the Li family and the Ye family's house, and went straight to the suburbs, as soon as they arrived there, there was a commotion in front of them, Qian Qianqian got out of the carriage, and saw Wu Shun and several men surrounded by people.
Qian Qianqian was a little puzzled, and strode forward, Xue Yi pushed aside the crowd that was blocking, and Wu Shun saw Qian Qianqian and immediately walked over.
"Miss Qian, why are you here?"
A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Wu Shun's forehead, and his voice was a little hoarse, it seemed that he had suffered a lot just now, and these people looked like ruffians and hooligans around here, who came to find fault.
"What's going on? Why are all these people gathered here? ”
Qian Qianqian looked around, vaguely felt that something was not quite right, her expression became solemn, and her face was full of indescribable vigilance.
"We are here to recover these fields for Lord Li, this field was originally the private property of the Li Mansion, leased to those villagers to farm, but I didn't expect it to be sold by the villagers, this is all our Li Mansion."
Before Wu Shun could speak, a fierce man scolded, rubbing his fists, as if he wanted to use force.
Qian Qianqian heard it in a fog, this field was originally bought by Xiao Mohan, how did it become someone else? Xiao Mohan is not such an imprudent person.
"Are you mistaken, I bought this field, and the villagers have signed and pledged the title deed, and all of them are counted, even if they are taken to the government."
Qian Qianqian is very calm, smiling, and her every move is very friendly, she doesn't want to make a big deal about it, so it's best to calm things down.
"Hmph, what kind of title deed, it is clearly forged, the real title deed is with us, if you don't believe it, then call the official to identify it and see who is real."
Not to be outdone, the man took out a title deed and shook it in front of Qian Qianqian's eyes, with a fearless look on his face, to see that they had made sufficient preparations.
Qian Qianqian finally understood that these people were deliberately trying to stir things up, no matter who was right or wrong, they couldn't admit their mistakes, and if they wanted to send them away, they needed to find another way.
"Well, since you say that this field is yours, then I will buy it, and say, how much silver it will cost."
Qian Qianqian thought in her heart, and slowly spoke, her eyes wandered away from this group of men, and she had the bearing of a general's wife between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was not an ordinary person at first glance.
"Hmph, don't think that a few stinky money is great, Master Li said, this field must be recovered, and no amount of silver will be sold."
The man quenched his saliva, his attitude was very tough, and the Lord Li in his mouth attracted Qian Qianqian's attention.
"What you are talking about, Lord Li, but Li Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?"
Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and then she asked, her expression became subtle, but she didn't look like she was in a quagmire at all, but like a person standing in the distance watching a play.
"Exactly." The man didn't hide it, he tilted his head back, his waist straightened up, the so-called back against the big tree is good to enjoy the shade, that's probably the case, but Qian Qianqian doesn't think that Li Huai is a big tree, compared with Xiao Mohan, Li Huai is at most a dog's tail grass, it's not worth mentioning, and he can't do anything on the stage.
