"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, are you okay?" Before Fang Xuan entered the gate of the Governor's Mansion in Zhongnan, a group of people rushed out from inside, led by a brightly dressed woman, with a demure appearance, but an anxiety that could not be concealed on her face.

Her heart warmed, and she shook her head and said, "Let my aunt worry, Xuan'er is fine." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Mrs. Jiang stroked her sideburns distressedly, "When I heard the news from someone, my heart almost fell out in fright, but fortunately I heard that you are fine, otherwise your uncle-in-law would have ordered the government soldiers to rush over on the spot." ”

"It's all because Xuan'er is not good, she was in a hurry, how did you know that she met the gang of bandits in Yuyan Mountain, thanks to the help of Lord Xiao and his subordinates, she escaped." Fang Xuan walked over lightly, leading Madame Jiang to look at Xiao Cheng, "This is the imperial attendant, Lord Xiao." ”

"That gang of bandits actually ate the leopard's guts? Even the palace dares to rob! They ......"

"Mother......

Jiang Wei, who had been standing behind Mrs. Jiang, gently pulled the corner of her clothes and said softly, "Cousin and Master Xiao are running all the way, they must be tired, so let them come in and rest quickly." ”

Mrs. Jiang stopped at this time, and looked at Xiao Cheng in a sneering manner, "Lord Xiao, forgive me, since the lord received the letter, he went to the mansion overnight and did not return, please take a rest, and the concubine will send someone to return." ”

Xiao Chengqing nodded coldly, "There is labor." ”

The group walked to the mansion, Fang Xuan clinged to Mrs. Jiang's arm from time to time, talking affectionately, and when they arrived in the backyard, their own subordinates led Xiao Cheng and his party to the guest room, and Fang Xuan went to the inner courtyard with Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Jie glanced back, but saw that the man's figure had turned the arch and disappeared.

When the sky was slightly bright, Fang Xuan saw his uncle-in-law Jiang Du, Xu had not slept all night, he was a little blue and dark under his eyes, but he didn't care about tidying up his face, and he rushed to see Fang Xuan after seeing Xiao Cheng.

"Hey!" He sighed heavily, "You kid, just call someone to report it first, and your uncle-in-law will naturally send someone to answer it, why do you have to suffer so much." ”

Fang Xuan brought tea to his side and said softly: "I know that my uncle-in-law has been busy with the emperor's tax investigation recently, and he has to deal with several adults from Changfeng, so he is really exhausted, and even his father can't catch it, let alone ......."

Jiang Du also knew that what she said was the truth, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of drawing out too many people, how could his brother-in-law only send a dozen guards to escort him, but he didn't think about it, but he made that group of maniacs take advantage of the loophole!

"Can you write to your father?"

"It's written."

"I heard from your aunt that she wasn't hurt, did you ask a doctor to see it?"

"After reading it, I said that it was fine, but I was a little frightened, and I also prescribed a calming decoction, and my aunt has already asked people to boil it."

"That's good." Jiang Du breathed a sigh of relief, "You, you have been bold since you were a child, and once you secretly ran from Lingnan on a horse, do you know that you are afraid this time?" ”

"Hey, hey." Fang Xuan touched his forehead, a little embarrassed, "When did that happen, Xuan'er has long forgotten it." ”

Jiang Du's face was pale, "I see that you are healed and forgot the pain, but what if the post station is stumped overnight?" Why do you have to travel at night? ”

"I'm not in a hurry to see you, my aunt, and my cousin!"

When she said this, Jiang couldn't scold anymore, so she had to sigh again, "I heard that there are still a few robbers who have run away?" I've ordered someone to chase after me, how many things have I lost? ”

"It's just 30,000 taels of silver tickets, my mother bought me rouge gouache, I'm so hungry, I didn't care about eating last night, uncle, you can let me go to eat, okay?"

——————————

"Smack!" Fang Jin's palm was heavily brushed on the desk, and his usually handsome face was iron-blue.

The letter paper fell from the air, and Jian Xiang vaguely saw the words "thirty thousand" and "robber".

He'd heard it all.

The gang of bandits in Yuyan Mountain didn't know what bear-hearted leopard gall they had eaten, and they dared to rob the carriage of the palace to go to the capital to celebrate his birthday, although Xiao Cheng passed by there and rescued him in time, but a few robbers ran away with silver tickets.

The so-called 30,000 taels is clearly 300,000 taels of silver tickets, which his father specially brought to Changfeng for his good sister, and almost went to the palace for one or two cents of financial resources.

"The prince is angry." Seeing that the letter paper fell to the ground, he made a cup of tea and brought it to Fang Jin's table, "This is not a good thing. ”

"A good thing?" Fang Jin stared at him, "Tell me about it." ”

"Yes. There have been bandits in the area of Yuyan Mountain since the previous dynasty, and several encirclements and suppressions have failed, but the imperial court has lost its troops and lost its vitality. Jian Xiang said slowly, "This dynasty is even more rampant, but the emperor has asked the palace several times to take on the task of extermination, and you have also surrounded it with Lord Jiang, but Yuyan Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and finally returned in vain." ”

"You mean ......"

"Exactly. Now that the Shence Army is in the area of Annan, the bandits they have seen with their own eyes are rampant, and they don't even pay attention to the royal car, so what is the situation of ordinary people? In the long run, it led to a depression in the business and travel of a place in the south of Lingnan, the commercial tax was greatly reduced, the people fled one after another, and the land was difficult to collect, so the number of reports to the imperial court would be sharply reduced. ”

Fang Jin stroked his beard, "In this way, it is tightly stitched with what your sister planned a month ago." ”

Jian Xiang's eyes flashed, "Oh? My sister has always been smart, but I don't know what the plan is? ”

"The palace has always been self-denying, and did not dare to raise soldiers privately, and the government soldiers were few, so it was naturally unable to exterminate the bandits, so it had to ask the court, allocate grain and grass, and transfer the army to destroy them. In this way, it can also clear the hidden dangers in advance and ensure that nothing goes wrong, but no, the people of Yuyan Mountain have been my confidants. ”

Fang Jin motioned for Jian Xun to pick up the stationery on the ground and put it away in the box.

The corner of Jian Xiang's eyes fell on the letter, but he didn't see half a word mentioning this matter, presumably the two had other secret connections.

"What my sister said is very true."

Fang Jin beckoned, and Jian Yu lowered his head and leaned over, "Don't let the caravan enter the city these days, find a few people to spread the news, and then send people to post portraits everywhere to arrest the bandits, let's make a show." ”

"Yes. Lord, you see...... Do you want to find a few more homeless people......

"It's too much, the Shence Army has always been cautious, which makes them suspicious, but it's not beautiful."

"Yes."

"This time, we must not show traces, so the less we do, the better, let them check, after all, after this incident, even the fake has become true, and if you can't find something, people will naturally leave."

"Son...... The nephew understood. ”

Jian Yu was speechless for a while, but Fang Jin didn't blame him this time, but said softly, "After so many years, I have wronged you and your mother." ”

And so he agreed.

"The son is not wronged, and the mother often says that the father is a person with a great heart, as long as you can achieve a great cause, the mother will be satisfied, no matter how much suffering can be endured, and often tell the son to share your worries and not cause trouble."

"Jia Zhi...... Your mother has always been wonderful. Fang Jin looked at Jian Xun and was very satisfied, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today, you go back to accompany your mother earlier, and I will go to see her in a few days." ”
