Wang Xiaolai was taken aback when he heard this: "It's not Jiuchai, what do you mean?" ”

Shu Jiuchai sighed, and was about to speak, Hongxiang and Li Shuangyu and Su Bailuo all came over, and when they saw Wang Xiaolai, they were stunned for a moment, and they all spoke: "Childe (adult), when did you come back?" ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Just came back, what's going on in our house, why did you close the door so early, I asked Jiuchai, and Jiuchai said that he had met a ghost." ”

As soon as the three of them heard Wang Xiaolai's words, they hesitated at that time.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaolai said that it was wrong, and hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on, you tell it carefully." ”

"Master, don't worry, it's like this, it's not just our General's Mansion, Daxing City, it's all like this."

Wang Xiaolai: "??? ”

Shu Jiuchai sighed and said, "Master, do you remember the royalists?" ”

"The one created by Feng Qingyun?"

"That's right."

"What happened to the royalists?"

"Since a month ago, the royalists have started to go to the streets to ask for money from door to door, it doesn't matter whether you are a citizen or an official, if you don't give it, they will forcibly seize it, take it by force, if you resist, you will say that you are not loyal to the monarch and unpatriotic, and then they will report to the criminal department and arrest people."

"Isn't that nonsense! No one cares? ”

"Tube? Who cares? The backer of the royalist party is Feng Qingyun and the Criminal Department, and everything about this matter is related to the Criminal Department, and if the Criminal Department does not speak or report to the top, it is too lazy to care. Shu Jiuchai said.

"Then there are so many adults in the imperial court, and none of them stand up?" Wang Xiaolai said.

"If there is, it won't be like this, who doesn't know, the current royalists, but the celebrities in front of His Majesty, donate no less than 200,000 taels of silver every day, if anyone says bad things about the royalists at this time, doesn't that make Your Majesty hate?" Shu Jiuchai said.

Wang Xiaolai frowned: "So, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty went by the royalists?" ”

"You can't say that, after all, it's none of your business, hang it high."

Seeing that Wang Xiaolai didn't speak, Shu Jiuchai hurriedly said: "But fortunately, the royalists are also self-aware, and they never provoke those powerful people, they all take the people with no background and some petty officials and officials, in this case, people are too lazy to alarm Your Majesty." ”

"What do the old Xiangguo and the Eight Sages King say?"

"Don't mention it, the protégés of Lao Xiangguo and the Eight Sages King have all been robbed by them."

"Hehe, isn't this called messing with the powerful?"

"It's not the master, the key is that the royalists are embarrassed by the old Xiangguo and the former officials of the Eight Sages King, and they are ready to go." Shu Jiuchai spread his hands.

"What preparation?"

"Those royalists don't know where they got the evidence of their favoritism, and they took the evidence to the door to ask for silver, if they don't give it, they will directly report it to the court, and when the time comes, let alone the silver, the officials will not have to do it." Shu Jiuchai said.

Wang Xiaolai sneered when he heard it: "I don't believe it, in the past month, there has not been anyone to speak?" ”

"Yes, the Eight Sages King mentioned it to the empress once, and the master you also know that the Eighth Prince protected his shortcomings, and once, after one of his protégés who died on the battlefield was embarrassed to take away five thousand taels of silver, the Eighth Prince directly took that person to find His Majesty, and as a result, His Majesty sent someone to check, and that person did have a record of using his power to cheat, although it was an earlier matter, but His Majesty still judged him to be at a loss, and said that the Eighth Prince could protect his shortcomings, but he could not protect his shortcomings everywhere, because of this matter, the Eighth Prince did not go out for nearly half a month." Shu Jiuchai said.

Wang Xiaolai hissed: "I can't complain that I haven't seen the Eighth Lord much in the military academy for a while." ”

"After that incident, the royalists got even more inches, our general's mansion, they also asked for it two or three times, and they thought it was over when they gave it at first, but they never thought that they kicked their noses in the face, and came every day, and in the end, there was no way, so I asked everyone to close the door at night." Shu Jiuchai sighed.

With a bang, Wang Xiaolai slammed the table and got up: "How can this be true, this group of bastards has fished up oil and water on Lao Tzu's head." ”

Shu Jiuchai and Hongxiang were both busy pulling Wang Xiaolai: "Master (son), don't be impulsive, don't offend their royalists because of your momentary anger." ”

Wang Xiaolai's eyes widened: "I'm afraid they won't succeed." ”

"Sister Shu! Sister Shu! ”

At this time, Hao Ren's shouts were heard outside, Wang Xiaolai looked up, and saw that Hao Ren and Xiao Yu were leading four or five palace guards, escorting a man with a grimace in.

When they saw Wang Xiaolai, the two were stunned: "My lord, when did you come back?" ”

Wang Xiaolai pursed his lips: "I just came back." ”

As he spoke, he raised his chin and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

The two looked back at the man and said, "My lord, what do you say about him?" ”

As he spoke, Hao Ren pushed the man to the ground and snorted: "This bastard has been sneaking around outside our house for several days, and I know at a glance that this guy is here to step on it." ”

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Step on the point? ”

Hao Ren said: "I just plan to steal something." ”

The man hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I didn't, I didn't." ”

Hao Ren slapped it over: "Do you dare to say that you haven't?" I saw you digging a hole outside, little thief, you are not good at learning, you can't even climb over the wall, and you dare to steal under the nose of your ancestors. ”

Wang Xiaolai was not angry when he heard this, and waved his hand: "It's just a little thief, lock it up, and send it to the government early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes."

After taking away the man, Wang Xiaolai lowered his head and thought about it, and then said to Shu Jiuchai: "Okay, I know all about the royalists, you don't have to think about it, I will go and tell Your Majesty in person tomorrow." ”

Hongxiang looked worried: "Childe, Your Majesty won't be angry with you, right?" ”

"Don't worry, no, you all go to sleep."

Several of them nodded and turned away.

Wang Xiaolai sat in the lobby, clenching his fists, looking down at his instep, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Xian Jingyu said softly: "My lord, my lord." ”

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"It's getting late, you can rest."

Wang Xiaolai nodded, rubbed the corners of his eyes and stood up, and asked Xian Jingyu: "Jingyu, do you say that the royalists are a little too much?" They all stretched out their hands to me, and the Eight Sages King and Lao Xiangguo were also troubled. ”

Xian Jingyu pursed his lips: "The last general thinks that the Eight Sages King and the old Xiangguo must be dissatisfied with the royalists, but because of the relationship between His Majesty, they didn't tear their faces, and the last general thought." ”

"Why?"

"Your Excellency, it's better to leave this matter alone, although we also suffer." Xian Jing Fishing Road.

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Why?" ”

Xian Jingyu sighed: "Now the royalist party is in full swing, and it can send no less than 200,000 taels of silver to Your Majesty every day, such a big benefit, how much, Your Majesty has also acquiesced in it, even if you complain, I am afraid that you will not be able to sue you, and moreover, it will make the royalists hate you." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked Xian Jingyu up and down: "Jingyu, I didn't see it, but you can see it clearly." ”

Xian Jingyu smiled and didn't speak.

Wang Xiaolai sighed again: "Anyway, let me swallow this breath, it's still a little embarrassing, so let's Jingyu, you go to the Eight Sages King and the Old Xiangguo Mansion tomorrow, and invite the two of them to come over for me." ”

Xian Jingyu was stunned: "My lord, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just a good chat about the royalists." ”

Xian Jingyu looked at Wang Xiaolai, but he didn't refuse after all, so he only nodded: "The last general understands." ”

As he spoke, he helped Wang Xiaolai to sleep in the bedroom.

There was nothing to say all night, the next day, Wang Xiaolai woke up early, Hongxiang brought the water for washing and put it on the table next to the bedroom, and was about to wait for Wang Xiaolai to get up, but was stopped by Wang Xiaolai, and said with a smile: "Sister, you forgot, I don't have this bad problem." ”

Hongxiang lowered her head and said, "That was before, but now that you are a general, how can you still do it yourself." ”

"Do it yourself, do it yourself, outside, I'm a general. In private, I'm still me, a girl who is fine. As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai patted Hongxiang's shoulder.

After getting up and washing his face, Wang Xiaolai walked out of the house, and when he saw the snow outside, he couldn't help but tighten his cotton clothes: "This snow is really sudden, and there is no sign at all." ”

Saying that, Wang Xiaolai turned around: "Sister, please trouble." ”
