Chapter 148: Checking Taxes
The weather cools down in October. Rouxin's wounds have been completely healed. She made osmanthus cake with her own hands and put it on the stone table in the courtyard.
"I want to eat osmanthus cake!" The little boy ran over and shouted.
"Slow down!" The little boy is getting harder and harder, and he runs faster. Feng'er can't catch up!
"Come on! Eat slowly! Rouxin hugged the little boy onto the stone bench.
The little boy ate one piece in one hand, one bite on the left and one bite on the right.
Feng'er stood there from afar and watched, unhappy in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. Last time, Gongzi Jinqian took the opportunity to punish Mei Xiang, who was waiting for his wife with her, of course she knew it in her heart.
"If you make such a delicious pastry, you won't give it to me to taste!" Childe Jin came over and sat down.
The little boy saw Gongzi Jinqian sitting next to Rouxin, so he climbed onto Rouxin's lap and pushed his father.
"You've got a mother! She's mine! ”
Gongzi Jinyan frowned when he heard this, but he was reluctant to reprimand his son.
Rouxin smiled and kissed the little boy and said, "When you grow up, I will be old!" ”
"Looks like you're a real disaster!" Gongzi Jinyan got up and took the little boy away.
"If the girl is a beautiful girl, the son and brother of the capital will not break the threshold?" Gao Yue looked at Rouxin enviously.
Rouxin ate the pastry, and almost choked after listening to Gao Yue's words. She put down the pastry and took a sip of water: "One person is enough!" ”
"The second prince has arrived!" Feng Yan is far away.
Rouxin hurriedly got up and went to the study to serve tea. The second prince sat at the tea table and watched Rouxin make tea.
"You're not here for tea, are you?" Gongzi Jinyan looked at the second prince holding a teacup and stared at Rouxin.
"My father ordered me to check the harvest everywhere! But let the third child supervise taxes! The second prince was angry when he thought of the affairs of the court.
"Why should you care about offending people?" Childe Jin Yan thinks this is nothing!
"How can he do that?" The second prince shook his head and said.
"There is a young man who is shallow, where can I use him to get started?" Childe Jinqi put down the teacup in his hand.
"Why don't you do it this time?" The second prince's hand pressed the mouth of the teacup. Rouxin's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"They're still useful!" Childe Jinyan picked up the teacup.
"You mean...... the second prince picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Yes!" Gongzi Jinyan drank all the tea in the cup.
"This soft heart brewed tea is always memorable!" A smile appeared on the second prince's lips.
But Rouxin couldn't laugh. What are they going to do with Gongzi Qingqian and the three princes?
The third prince was sitting in the child's shallow study at this time. The prince is shallow, and he has to run this trip for the third prince. At this time, Gongzi Qingqian remembered Wei Wujing's words, and he couldn't help but look at the third prince who was drinking tea with peace of mind.
"Childe! The affairs of the house have been arranged! Hanguang Chong the three princes and the prince said lightly.
"Good! Tomorrow! Childe bowed slightly.
"I'll go back first! Rest early! The third prince put down his teacup and got up.
Gongzi Qingqian sent the third prince outside the study. Yao Tong watched the third prince leave and said, "Don't we need to guard over there?" ”
"This time you stay in the house!" Childe said softly.
Yao Tong blinked and nodded. He doesn't know why, though? But if Childe is shallow, he will never disobey it!
"What about me?" Xuanfei hung upside down from the roof beam, startling Gongzi Qingqian.
"When did you become a gentleman on the beam?" Childe Qingqian walked to the tea table, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea. But the tea was in Xuanfei's hands.
"It's nothing this time! Just go and see what taxes are going to be everywhere! Childe Qingqian poured another cup of tea.
"I'm idle! Take a trip with you! Xuanfei turned to look at Childe's shallow starling.
"Don't go! Don't go! Starling jumped to his feet.
"Can you handle it?" Xuanfei shook the teacup in his hand and shouted at the starling.
"Managed! Manageable! "Starlings coped with it!
Xuanfei was so angry that he poured tea on the extremely smart starling. Starling flew up in shock, but tripped over the chain on his foot and fell.
"That's it! Drink! "Childe Qingqian knows that he can't do anything today!
As soon as the "Drunken Eight Immortals" came to the table, Xuanfei poured himself a big bowl.
"Say it! Got your dad mad again? ”
"I can't hide anything from you! My dad is angry when he sees me now. My mother told me to go out and hide! Xuanfei took a long sip of wine.
"It's time for your dad to do the work, too! He's just a son like you! Childe Qingqian persuaded.
"Let's talk about it when I get married!" Xuanfei filled Childe's shallow wine glass.
"The safflower has been driven away by you! I'm afraid you won't be able to find a daughter-in-law in this life! Childe took a sip of "Drunken Eight Immortals".
"Forget it! Don't mention her! Come! Xuanfei picked up the wine bowl.
"Don't get drunk! Tomorrow has to be early! Childe Qingqian raised his glass and said.
There was a mist in the early morning. Xuanfei squinted his eyes and was pulled into the carriage by Childe Qingqian. He sat in the car and continued to fall asleep by relying on Childe Qingqian.
The carriage started and headed for Liyang County.
As soon as Gongzi Qingqian left the house, Gongzi Jinqian received the news.
"When will the second prince leave?"
"It's just a matter of the next day or two!" Feng Yan listened to Touran's orders to ensure the safety of the second prince's trip.
"As long as they don't meet, they'll be fine!" Gongzi Jinqian took out the picture from the shelf and spread it out and looked at it on several cases.
Childe Qingqian is a person who abides by the law of etiquette. He won't do anything to the second prince! Rouxin said secretly in her heart.
The political struggle is brutal and unforgiving. Although Childe Qingqian will not do it directly, he will not be soft on his political opponents. In terms of strategy, the second prince is far from being the opponent of Gongzi's shallowness! This is why Childe Jinqian is worried.
Childe Qingqian is not a talker, he is as pragmatic as Childe Jinqi. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Liyang County, he found out the loopholes in the tax collection and investigated and punished a group of people who were greedy for taxes.
Officials in other counties, who had problems, secretly made up the taxes.
Xuanfei has nothing to do every day. He's an idle master again! So when Gongzi Qingqian arrived in Xuancheng County, he slipped out to eat and drink by himself.
It wasn't until the night that Gongzi Qingqian realized that he hadn't seen Xuanfei for a day.
"Childe! Xuanfei is drunk and refuses to come back! Liu Tao reported outside the door.
Childe was tired for a day, but he had to go to the tavern to find Xuanfei in person. He followed Liu Tao to Ning's Restaurant. As soon as I entered the door, I heard Xuanfei shouting: "If you don't drink this bowl of wine, I will make you like it and can't move!" ”
Childe Qingqian was shocked, and walked quickly to the table to take a look. Xuan Fei made a cat sit motionless like a statue, staring at it with its eyes fixed on it.
Shan Liancheng's nose was red. When he saw Gongzi Qingqian, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"You're here just in time! Drink! Xuanfei picked up the wine bowl. His arm was grabbed by Gongzi Qingqian.
"Come back with me!"
"Okay! You made me drink this bowl! Xuanfei pushed the bowl to his lips.
Childe's shallow hand was forced. As soon as Xuanfei's hand was numb, the bowl of wine was held by Liu Tao in his hand.
Xuanfei was carried out of the restaurant by Gongzi Qingshal. Along the way, Xuanfei sang songs and whistled forward. When they reached Xianghua Alley, they found a man lying in front of them.
Liu Tao stepped forward to check, and then he told Gongzi Qingqian: "The person is dead!" ”
Gongzi Qingqian pushed Xuanfei to Shan Liancheng, and then he crouched down to examine the body. However, there were no injuries on the man's body, and there were no signs of poisoning.
"If you don't get up again, I'll step on it!" Xuanfei had one foot on the man's chest.
"He's dead!" Childe looked at Xuanfei who was drunk with a smile and couldn't help but smile.
"Dead?" Xuanfei shook his head and squatted down.
"He was poisoned!" Xuanfei glanced at the man.
"Send it to the official office!" Childe got up and supported the swaying Xuanfei.
"He's drunk! Can you take what you say seriously? Shan Liancheng and Liu Tao raised the man's corpse and asked.
"His instincts can't be wrong!" Childe looked at Xuanfei, who was already asleep on his shoulder, and nodded.
