Jingzhong's punishment of An and Zhou was much lighter than carambola imagined.

In the view of star fruit, the Anzhifu family is inseparable from the Western Regions and Miaojiang, and no matter what the purpose of using those poisons is, they cannot escape the charge of fornicating with foreign enemies.

What's more, the three princes are still involved, and the three princes can count thirty or forty of the crimes submitted by the three princes, even if only a few of them are verified, they are all felonies of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

But in the end, the crimes announced by Beijing were nothing more than corruption and bribery, dereliction of duty and reputation, abuse of private power, and forming parties for personal gain. These words that don't hurt or itch add up, that is: Anzhifu and Zhou County ordered a decision, the two family properties were confiscated, and the family members were exiled for a thousand miles.

Carambola sighed and muttered in a low voice: "Sure enough, the tree has deep roots and is difficult to shake." ”

"What?" Yang Miao looked at the star fruit puzzled, she was more concerned about the future of Master Qin: "Let's see how Master Qin is?" Didn't the third prince ask him to act as the county commander at that time? The Holy Decree should have been arranged now, right? ”

Carambola took his thoughts and went to look at it, and then said with a look of 'if this is the case': "Master Qin has been transferred to the head of the county college, and our new county commander Dong of Liang County will come over to take office today." ”

"County College Headmaster? Isn't that still a master who teaches people to read? ”

"But the county is taught by the newly admitted talents, and many of the students in it will be admitted to the juren, and even jinshi and champion. Our country's rivers and mountains are still counting on them to help take care of it. ”

"Our county has a champion, that was hundreds of years ago, right? Now the biggest official is only the Taifu of the Guo family. ”

Speaking of the Guo family, star fruit remembered some of the past.

At the beginning, the county order forced Zhao Langzhong to treat the ancestors of the Guo family, and the officials of the county government carried knives and guarded at the door, and if they could not be cured, they asked them to go to see them.

Thinking that they had offended An Zhiyuan, the Guo family directly helped to force the star fruit and Qiao's shop to a dead end.

In this way, the An family, the Zhou family and the Guo family are basically a group. The most prominent official of the Guo family is the crown prince and the prince, and they are basically the princelings on the surface.

Then if the An family and the Zhou family do evil, the Guo family will be clean?

I'm afraid that it's not clean but smart, they usually mainly attract students and collect literati for the prince. So even if something happened to both the An family and the Zhou family, he was safe and sound.

And when Qin Fuzi went to take over the county school, did he mean to fight with the Guo family?

If you really want to fight with the Guo family, then the position of this new county order is very important.

"What do you think? What the hell are you listening to me? Yang Miao pulled the hand of the star fruit in frustration, and her cheeks bulged widely, looking very unhappy.

Carambola thought about her own thoughts, but she really didn't hear what Yang Miao said.

She smiled apologetically and teased casually: "I heard it, I heard it, didn't I just want to meet Master Qin?" Isn't it okay to go just now? ”

"Don't you want to? There is such a big thing in the county office, can you rest assured if you don't go to see it? didn't say anything about it, only said that Master Qin was really gone, and Qiao An and Chunxiao could still serve in the county government? ”

It just so happened that the star fruit also wanted to go to see the situation, so she didn't say anything more, and only went with Yang Miao.

The holy decree was sent to the county government early this morning, and the tea money given by Master Qin was sent to the eunuch not to accept it, and to do the east to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the other party also strongly refused. I wanted to say a few more words to understand the situation in Beijing, but the little eunuch was tight-lipped as a bottle. If you want to inquire again, the other party has already left for Beijing.

Master Qin led the crowd to send the eunuch away, and just after returning, he bumped into star fruit and Yang Miao coming together.

He glanced at Qiao An and Yang Chunxiao and left first.

Star fruit didn't feel anything, Yang Miao watched Qin Fuzi leave tiredly, and unconsciously muttered: "He really feels uncomfortable, I haven't seen him have such an expression for so long." ”

"There are so many official affairs to deal with, and I will soon have to hand over to the new county order, and it is reasonable that Master Qin is tired."

Seeing that Yang Miao was still only looking at Master Qin, Carambola ignored her, and only walked towards Qiao An and Yang Chunxiao, and asked, "But it's all going well?" An Jia and Zhou ......"

"There are so many people, this is not the place to talk." Yang Chunxiao wanted to take the star fruit to the side hall, but Qiao An stretched out his hand to stop him: "I am still busy counting the property of the Zhou family, and I have sent the file to Minzhou, let's go back and talk about it if we have something to say." ”

Then he looked at the star fruit with a worried face, and forcibly eased his complexion and said: "You don't have to worry about things here, we all have our own proportions." Even if you encounter a difficult problem, you will think of a solution, and when you can use it, you will naturally take the initiative to speak. ”

Carambola didn't want Qiao An and them to be distracted, so she said, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll talk about it later!" ”

"Don't be too busy, the decree still has your business." Even if he pretended to be relaxed, Qiao An's brows unconsciously wrinkled slightly: "The above decrees let you draw up the types of medicinal herbs to be planted next year, and estimate the general yield." Since the beginning of next year, you will have to pay tribute every year, and the value of the medicinal materials to be paid every year must not be less than two hundred taels. ”

Star fruit listened, and her brows furrowed. She wanted to complain, but when she thought that it was a holy decree passed down from above, she could only sink her stomach full of embarrassment.

"From the verdicts of the An family and the Zhou family, you should also be able to guess the situation in Beijing." Qiao An patted the carambola on the shoulder comfortingly, and sighed: "Let's go back and make statistics first, if it is more valuable, it may not be difficult to have two hundred taels." ”

Carambola couldn't bear Qiao An's worries, so she nodded and said, "I know, I'll go back and discuss with Master and Uncle Haosheng." When it's done, the results will be delivered. ”

"Let's do it tightly, while the new county order has not yet taken office......" Qiao An didn't say the words later, but the star fruit had already understood.

"The Prince's Man?"

Qiao An looked at no one on the left and right, but he didn't dare to say anything clearly, only said vaguely: "Mrs. Guo Baoju, I don't dare to make a conclusion about the specifics." ”

is all in the love of Mrs. Guo, what else is there to say about the position?

Thinking of their grievances with the An family and the Zhou family, the star fruit had a sad face. She glanced up at Qiao An, knowing that he was going to follow Master Qin to do great things, so she only said, "Be cautious, don't ......"

"Don't worry, we've got measure."

I wanted to say more, Yang Chunxiao, who was standing on the side, coughed, and Qiao An swallowed back the words on his lips, and only said: "Go back, the yamen is important, not a place for small talk." ”

A servant hurriedly ran over and said to Yang Chunxiao, "My lord let you pass." ”

Master Qin has always been kind to Carambola and Qiao An, and he knows that the two of them talk together, and rarely urges. This has not been said for a few words, and it must be something important.

Qiao An and Yang Chunxiao left in a hurry, but Qiao An didn't bother to give star fruit a reassuring look.

Carambola stood in a daze for a while, and then had to sigh and call Yang Miao back.

Yang Miao was a little unwilling, pouting and said, "I haven't been able to talk to Master Qin, and I don't know how sad he is in his heart." ”

Star fruit was full of things in her heart, and she didn't care about comforting Yang Miao, so she only said a few perfunctory sentences, and then went back to count the types and output of medicinal materials with Zhao Lang and others, and calculated how many things could be produced.

When Zhao Langzhong heard about the confession, he was also silent for a long time. After a long time, he smiled helplessly: "Two hundred taels? What can it be considered in the eyes of the nobles in Beijing? It's just a change of mind to toss mean people. ”

Star fruit didn't answer, but I thought it was the same reason. didn't say anything else, just looked at Miss Zhou's previous expenses, two hundred taels was the same as sending a flower child. Moreover, when the money is handed over, it is not known into whose pocket it will fall.

But people are going to toss, what can they do?

The whole world knows that they have never grown star fruit, so what can they do if they can't guarantee the yield? The whole world is not the king's land, and the saint wants something, who dares to say that there is none?

The master and apprentice calculated the type and output according to the previous design drawings, and when they were halfway through the calculation, Uncle Zhou rushed over.

Zhao Wenying told him specific things on the way, and he didn't need to ask in detail when he came back, but said: "That piece of wild gastrodia is growing well, and it should be harvested before Qingming next year." According to the current growth and current price, it should not be a big problem to sell two hundred taels of silver. ”

Carambola and Zhao Langzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you only report gastrodia, it is estimated that it will not be successful, such a big mountain, you can't just plant gastrodia!"

Carambola relaxed and said with a smile: "The rest is easy to do, those low-priced medicinal materials, just write two more things, we can be regarded as overpaying tribute!" ”

Uncle Zhou glanced at the star fruit twice, and stopped talking.

He and Zhao Langzhong are both people who have stayed in Beijing, and they have seen too many of the means of power dumping. I'm afraid things won't be as simple as star fruit thinks.

However, there is no need to be alarmist and worry star fruit now.

Carambola felt relaxed, so she blinked her eyes and asked him, "What about the gastrodia I planted myself?" How did Uncle Shi look? ”

Speaking of which, it's really a happy event.

Uncle Zhou gave a thumbs up to the star fruit and said with a smile: "According to the method you said before, it will definitely be able to be achieved before that day." ”

"In this way, there is absolutely no problem in planting gastrodia on a large scale next year. We have such a big mountain, it is not a problem to plant it and produce three or five thousand taels, what can two hundred taels be? ”

Star fruit's eyes are shining, as if she sees a bright future.

Uncle Zhou went to discuss things with Zhao Langzhong, and the star fruit went to the back to make tea.

Just turned around, Zhao Wenying looked at her mysteriously and smiled, laughing so much that she was covered with hair: "What's the matter, laughing like this?" ”

Zhao Wenying looked at her more and more ambiguously, and sighed several times before continuing: "You're going to be a sister-in-law, are the big red envelopes ready?" ”

"What nonsense?" Carambola nodded his forehead angrily: "It's not good to read books and arrange them randomly, I want Chunxiao to know that you are talking nonsense, and see if he doesn't beat you." ”

"Who is talking nonsense? I watched him help the little lady of the Guo family into the restaurant to eat, and saw them talking and laughing with my own eyes. When I went to buy vegetables and came back, I bumped into him personally helping the young lady into the sedan chair. Zhao Wenying looked at the star fruit and pouted unconvinced: "Men and women don't kiss, a restrained person like Chunxiao can make such a move, don't you understand what it represents?" ”

Carambola understands this younger brother, he has an impulsive personality, and he doesn't have a doorkeeper on his mouth, but he still abides by the rules and etiquette. If what Zhao Wenying said is true, then there must be an extraordinary relationship between him and the young lady of the Guo family.

Can the Guo family? Why is it the Guo family? With Chunxiao's current position, how can he befriend the people of the Guo family, does he know what he is doing? Or, what did he want to do when he went to befriend Miss Guo?

Thinking of the busyness in the county government, the solemnity and busyness of Qiao An and Yang Chunxiao, the star fruit involuntarily beat the drum in her heart. After experiencing An Zhiyuan, she really didn't want to provoke a powerful person like the Guo family when she was so weak......
