Chapter 35: The Way to Accumulate Wealth
Ah Wei didn't procrastinate, knelt down and bowed to Nanyan and was the first to speak:
"Five years ago, An Qing and the current prefect Chu Xuezhen came to take office together."
"At the beginning, the county was robbed by bandits several times, and the prefect said that it was reported to the imperial court to pay for the bandits, but the imperial court didn't care, so the people could only donate."
"At first, everyone was not stingy, but a wave of bandits paid, and after a few months, another wave came, and so on, and the people were robbed of nothing of value."
"Later, they said that they wanted to build the embankment, but the money given by the imperial court was not enough, so they went to work for nothing with a little strength, but slowly everyone found out that it was wrong, the material used on the embankment was just a layer of iron bread, and it was full of stones, and the embankment built in this way would be washed away in three years at most!"
"The people were unwilling and wanted to go to Beijing to file a complaint, but somehow the news leaked, and they all went and didn't return. Only then did everyone come back to their senses and deduce that the suppression of bandits and the repair of embankments were just reasons for the prefect and An Qing to make money. ”
"Later, people began to disappear in the county, but the prefect only did superficial work to strengthen the guard this time, and the people knew that she was waiting for everyone to raise money to find someone, but where did everyone still have money. We petty officials have been closed for almost half a year. ”
……
Nanyan remained silent, there was no emotion in her eyes, and Ah Wei looked at her nervously.
"Take them all into the inn, and say that the palace hasn't had enough fun!"
Luo Chen nodded, he knew that Nanyan was very angry now.
Ah Wei and everyone got dressed and pointed to the official errand lying on the ground:
"My lord, he ......"
Luo Chen glanced at it and said:
"It's okay, he can't get out of it."
The guard was still pretending to be dizzy, but when he heard this, he quickly turned over and said:
"My lord, I am absolutely tight-lipped and will pay for my own merits!"
The corners of Luo Chen's eyes twitched, and he led everyone away.
The tranquility and elegance of the plum garden seemed to be eclipsed, Nanyan called to comb the clouds with a cold face, and left when the two of them came.
Chu Xuezhen was still drunk and dreaming of death, but was woken up by the guards in the mansion:
"My lord, An Qing is injured, tell you to go back!"
The two men lying next to him hurriedly put away their clothes and left when they heard this.
Chu Xuezhen was not wrapped in clothes, slowly woke up from the chaos, and sat up suddenly:
"What? Who did this to you?! ”
The guards had long been accustomed to Gong Chu Xuezhen's appearance of realizing it, and said:
An Qing didn't say.
"Where's the girl that day?"
"She took those little ones back to the inn, saying that she would let them serve them during this time."
Chu Xuezhen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got dressed and left.
Chongmiao saw Nanyan coming back, so she planned to share the good things she had done today, and when she saw the warbler Yanyan behind her, she was shocked for a long time.
Shopkeeper Li's family had been kidnapped by An Qing, and he was staring at Nanyan's every move, for fear of missing something.
Nanyan looked at the sneaky look of Shopkeeper Li, lowered his eyes to hide his anger, ignored Chong Miao, turned around and pulled the nearest aunt and said:
"Let's go, go to the main palace room."
Ah Wei's hand trembled, and he felt Nanyan holding his hand tightly, so he understood it, nodded obediently and followed.
But in the eyes of others, the two of them are completely like glue.
The others were arranged by Luo Chen, and he was about to explode, what do you mean, acting has to sacrifice hue!
What a hand, what a hand, pull a hand!
It wasn't just Chongmiao who was surprised, Dye Xiang had noticed that Nanyan was wrong since last night, and seemed to have become very indifferent to her, and she didn't even let her get closer.
