Chapter 226: It's a big loss

In the interval between speaking, several city lords had already rushed over, and after saluting, they were all shocked to see Zan Yuan's appearance. To tell the truth, in Yunnan, it is not an exaggeration to say that they cover the sky with one hand, who dares to get along with the five city lords who hold power in their hands, and want to destroy each other, that is, a matter of one sentence. Who knows, at this juncture, someone dared to rob the silver taels sent by Zhaotong, and also injured the city lord Zan Yuan like this, which can be described as eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall!

Li Yuanzhou was the most straightforward: "Lord Wang, which grandson is so bold that he dares to make trouble around Yunli City, if you say a word, I will lead people to crush their bones!" ”

"According to the lord of Zhancheng, it is said that the victims of the disaster gathered into bandits and set up camp in the area of Shadowless Mountain."

"Disaster victims?" This is a bit difficult to do, now, most of the Yong Dynasty was affected, the people basically have no way to live, I heard that Yunnan is still stable, is a large number, a large number of surging over, at this time, the treatment of the victims need to be extra careful, a coincidence, it will anger the nerves of those people to the extreme, in case of a civil uprising, Yunnan even if there are soldiers and food, can not cope.

Li Yuanzhou glanced at Zan Yuan's miserable appearance, and his voice was full of doubts: "Look at the wound on the chest of the city lord, it should be injured by a sharp big knife, those victims can be said to be dying after fleeing, the Zhaotong guards who escorted Yinliang are not one thousand but eight hundred, and the well-equipped regular army can't beat those unarmed victims?" ”

Zan Li raised his head suddenly, there were tears on his beautiful face, but his eyes were sharp and abnormal: "City Lord Li, you don't have the right to intervene in your words, but as a child, when you hear that your father is slandered, even if you know that you are rude, you must boldly refute one or two." You said it unintentionally, but you can't guarantee that the listener is intentional, and when you hear what you just said in the ears of others, you have to think that this disaster relief silver was robbed twice, and it was my father who shouted to catch the thief! ”

"Big niece, I didn't say this, I'm just curious, you girls' families, this mind is a lot, why I said it casually, it caused so much suspicion, okay, I won't say it, besides, look at the injuries on Zan Yuan's body, this is going to most of his life, this person, no matter when, his life is important, people live, not to mention millions of taels, even tens of millions of taels, can also earn it, if this person is gone, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it is also unblessed to enjoy. Don't think about it, eldest niece, I'm not cursing your father to death, if it becomes a prophecy, then my sin will not be clear. ”

Zan Li almost fell down in anger, you didn't talk nonsense, you almost pointed to your nose and said that her father said that he was self-inflicted: "I thought, with the close relationship between City Lord Li and my father, I can't do anything to say cool things." Lord Wang, please also make the decision for my father, exterminate the mountain bandits, and recapture the silver taels. ”

"This king has already sent someone to investigate, and when the investigation is clear, it will naturally be properly handled."

Zan Li nodded, and kowtowed deeply to Yue Jingxuan: "Lord, my father's condition is critical now, and there is no doctor who is proficient in medical skills around him, not to mention, his life is not easy to move, please be gracious and allow my father to temporarily recuperate in the palace, thank you." ”

Yue Jingxuan looked at Mu Yunlan: "Princess, how is the injury of the city lord?" ”

"I can't die for the time being, but the body is poisonous, so I still need to pay more attention," Mu Yunlan wanted to say that he could move carefully, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and instead raised a smile, "It's not appropriate to move now, just let the city lord recuperate in the palace, but there are so many things in Zhaotong City that need to be dealt with, and the city lord can't recuperate well in a short time, so the prince should also be more sympathetic to his subordinates and find a way to help the city lord share the burden." ”

This Zan Yuan and his sister have an arrow of hatred, and it just so happened that he sent it to the door and took revenge together.

Yue Jingxuan's eyes flickered, and then he smiled: "That's right, I remember that the city lord has three sons who have reached adulthood, among which Zan Bi is the eldest son, although Zan Tong and Zan Xu are not the eldest, they are sisters-in-law, since this is the case, then let the three of them temporarily act as agents for Zhaotong's affairs, and when the city lord recovers, it is okay to negotiate between father and son." ”

Zan Li's heart trembled, and then his face turned blue, Zan Bi and Zan Ying are both Aunt Ding's children, the two of them are not angry that they are bullied by her and her two younger brothers on weekdays, and now with this opportunity, who knows what moths will be tossed? Moreover, Zan Bi and Zan Ying are both vicious people, and they are okay with their fathers on weekdays, but now that they are turned over, what will the Zan family look like?

She turned her head to look at Mu Yunlan, and met her with a pair of autumn water eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and it was clear that they were full of smiles, but she shivered stiffly: she did it on purpose, she knew the situation of the Zan family, so she wanted to destroy the Zan family in this silent way!

Li Yuanzhou and the others also felt a chill in their hearts, looking at Mu Yunlan's eyes with awe, whether the princess was intentional or not, this kind of method was really intimidating. First of all, he left Zan Yuan to recuperate and put it under his nose, surrounded by the prince's people, and it is a big problem when he can be healed. In case the princess is unhappy, it is also possible to raise her to death directly. After all, it's too easy to get your hands dirty.

Besides, even if the princess is magnanimous and doesn't make a move, Zan Yuan's serious injury will take at least a few months to recover, and now the form has changed in an instant, and in a few months, Zhaotong can change the world a few times, when the time comes, who cares about this city lord?

Finally, the three sons of the Zan family don't seem to deal with each other very much, if they toss Zhaotong away, it just so happens that the prince will have the opportunity to hold Zhaotong in his hands in one fell swoop.

This Zan Yuan, this time it's really a big loss! I wonder if I will vomit blood when I wake up?

Yue Jingxuan and the others thought about it enough, and then he spoke: "Since you are all here, just discuss it, tomorrow's relief for the victims, Zhaotong has an accident, the silver is insufficient, according to the previous plan, it will not work, a few city lords will find a way to urge the big families under their command, the people are greater than the sky, at this time, no matter what happens, you can't delay the disaster relief." Do you understand? ”

"Yes, the subordinates and others understand, please rest assured."

Yue Jingxuan nodded and looked at Li Yuanzhou: "City Lord Li, you are the first to send the disaster relief silver two, this king thinks, I can't let you contribute both money and effort, but the reputation is occupied by me alone, you and Zhou City Lord, this time also expand the source of soldiers, the two of you can recruit 20,000 troops each, in addition, this king wants to set up a merit monument to show your benevolence, you also start to arrange it." ”

"Yes, lord." Li Yuanzhou was overjoyed, 20,000 soldiers and generals plus a merit monument, this worked well, but a piece of cake, sure enough, it was right to follow the prince.

Duan Qi hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Wang, the silver in Lizhou City will arrive in the afternoon, and my subordinates will send it to you as soon as possible." ”

"Well, okay, City Lord Duan has a heart, depending on the number of displaced people, if this king can't recruit troops, he still needs City Lord Duan to help receive some of them."

"Yes, the subordinates will do their best." Li Yuanzhou and Zhou Bing stood first, and he should at least drink some soup with him......

Liangyou, who was a step slower, seemed to be a little annoyed, but he also took advantage of it to some extent, and was able to engrave his name a little larger on the merit tablet.

Waiting for a few city lords to leave satisfied, Mu Yunlan looked at Zan Li, who had been silent: "Miss Zan 's dress is dirty, go back and change it first, don't worry, City Lord Zan is here, I will let the maid keep an eye on it all the time, if he wakes up, I will tell you as soon as possible." ”

Zan Li hurriedly raised his head: "Princess, my father is seriously injured and sick, I dare not leave for a moment, please let me take care of my father." She proposed to let Zan Yuan recuperate in the palace before, and she had her own careful thoughts, but she didn't expect that it would give Mu Yunlan the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, and now, the power has been divided, if her mind is not achieved, it will really be lost.

"You are filial, logically speaking, you should not object, it's just that you, an unmarried girl from Yunying, staying in the palace rashly will really damage your reputation, so you don't need to say more, let's go."

"Princess, please look at ......"

"Didn't I understand enough?" Mu Yunlan really didn't understand Zan Li's thoughts, Yue Jingxuan already had a concubine, even if she entered the palace, she was just a concubine, if she was favored, it would be just that, looking at Yue Jingxuan's current appearance, she would not spoil the concubine and kill his wife, what is the use of such an unfocused feeling, "Some words, it is really boring to say it, as a woman, you must have self-esteem, self-love, and be able to carry your identity, not to mention, your father is still sick, what kind of mind should be changed!" ”

Zan Li's face turned pale for a while and red for a while, and she was ashamed and wanted to die immediately, she never thought that she had always been praised for being indifferent and indisputable, and she was like Qinglian, but she would be secretly ridiculed by others for being worse than a woman in the dust, Mu Yunlan's words were not explained, but they were more difficult to hear than she said!

"Princess, I just want to take care of my father, but I don't have as much thought as you said, you are too much of a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!"

"Oh?" Mu Yunlan glanced at her mockingly, "Okay, I can give you a chance today, you can become the prince's side concubine, but you have also seen that your father is seriously ill, and it is unfilial to make a marriage contract at this time, but if you miss today, as long as you have this princess for a day, you will never be able to enter the palace, do you agree to this marriage?" ”

"I'm naturally ......"

"You can think about it, now as long as you say yes, you can enter the palace, if you refuse, you will never have a chance!" Mu Yunlan stared at Zan Li coldly, she was unwilling to figure out others with the greatest malice, but the reality was often more ironic than she imagined.

Zan Li wanted to say goodbye and refused angrily, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't spit it out, she had already stepped on the road to the sky, if it was cut off because of her own words, her father said that those who become big things are not informal, as long as they promise to come down, they can accompany Yue Jingxuan.

She raised her head, but suddenly looked at Shangyue Jingxuan with no warmth, and the fire that had just risen in her heart was violently extinguished, emitting green smoke that was repeatedly choking.
