Chapter 35: Teach the Wicked a Lesson

The proprietress opened her mouth and asked in disbelief, "You...... You're going to sue me? Knowing that I am a national teacher, you dare to sue me? You're crazy! The national teacher can't be provoked by you cheap hooves, be careful that you can't eat when the time comes, go around! ”

Xia Yu had long seen that this fat woman was not pleasing to the eye, picked up a ball of cotton and stuffed it into her mouth, and said hatefully, "There are so many words at this time!" It's really noisy! ”

After explaining her affairs, Baili Lan turned around leisurely, looked at Tang Lingshuang, frowned slightly, and said unhappily, "How can I meet you in Nanzhao, it's really disappointing!" ”

Tang Lingshuang did not spoil his good mood because of Bai Lilan's vicious words. He seemed to look back at Baili Lan and asked a question in his heart for a long time.

"Baililan, are all women scheming like you?"

"Then you will gather all the women in the world and ask clearly!" Bai Lilan glared at him, flicked his sleeves and passed by him. Just as a gust of wind blew, there was a light and good smell on the man next to him, and this familiar breath made Baili Lan stop abruptly, her pupils shrank, and something flashed in her mind. But it was so fast that she couldn't hold it, and she disappeared without a trace.

"County Lord, what's wrong?" Seeing that Baili Lan suddenly stopped, Chunfeng stepped forward and asked in a whisper.

With a wave of her hand, Baili Lan turned around halfway, looking at Tang Lingshuang, who was still smiling lightly, with an elegant expression.

Perhaps, I thought about it for myself!

Lowering her eyelashes slightly, Baili Lan left the shop without saying a word, blending into the long street of the crowd, and soon disappeared.

Ah Tai looked out suspiciously, and muttered, "What a strange ice beauty, Childe, he seems to have seen something." ”

Tang Lingshuang laughed softly, and didn't say much, just asked Ah Tai to stay and deal with the follow-up of this black-hearted boss lady with Qiushuang.

Soon, an operation to eliminate corrupt officials began to spread from Dadu to the entire Nanzhao. And the reason for starting this activity is because the national teacher connived at his relatives to harm the township and did many evils. And these are all acquiesced or approved by the national teacher. Under its protection, its power infiltrated many places in Nanzhao, and its influence was so bad and wide that it made people smack.

Emperor Nanzhao was furious when he learned of this, and immediately wanted to remove him from the position of national teacher. However, Shangguanhai had many henchmen, and they wrote to intercede for him, imploring Emperor Nanzhao to remember his hard work and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes. In the face of pressure from the outside world, Emperor Nanzhao had to revise the edict and let Shangguanhai stay in the mansion and think about himself.

In the face of such a big storm, although the foundation of the national division has not been moved, it has already heralded the beginning of its demise.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Wuda couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, clapped his palms, and praised, "God help me!" If he can take advantage of the situation to suppress the power of the national teacher's faction, the emperor will be able to have one less trouble. You must know that when the emperor ascended the throne, it was the old thing who had the biggest opinions. Even after the emperor succeeded to the throne, his small actions continued, if it were me, I would have deposed him a long time ago! Wu Da talked excitedly for a long time, but found that no one gave him a response. I couldn't help but look back and found that Xin Xiangzheng was holding his hands behind his back, his eyes through the wooden window, staring closely at the gloomy sky.

Seeing Xin Xiang's preoccupied look, Wu Da got up and stood behind him and asked, "What's the matter, eldest brother, Shangguan Hai was punished by the emperor, aren't you happy?" ”

Xin Xiang sighed deeply, then looked at Wuda with heavy eyes, and said, "Do you think that all this that happened to Shangguan Hai is just karma?" If this was the case, Shangguan Hai would have died ten or eight times a long time ago. ”

Wuda was stunned and said suspiciously, "Why, eldest brother thinks that Shangguanhai's incident is not accidental?" But if it is artificial, that person is too powerful, we have been thinking hard for many years, and we have not stepped down from Shangguan Haidou, as soon as this person made a move, he asked the emperor to decree and suspend him? ”

With a wry smile, Xin Xiang handed a note that he had been holding in his hand to Uda.

"What is this?" Wuda was talking to himself, while unfolding the note, writing a few words on it with a delicate pen, a gift to Xin Xiang, can you be satisfied? Flipping up and down again, Wuda's expression was even more puzzled, he took a fancy to Xin Xiang and asked, "Gift?" Where's the gift? ”

"This letter was sent by the people of Baililanto. And what's going on lately that can make us excited? ”

Wuda thought about it carefully, and at the moment when he lowered his head, he saw the letter on the desktop, and suddenly realized, "Oh, I'm talking about the national teacher." Wuda paused suddenly, then his eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed, "What, a series of things that happened to Shangguan Hai were all planned by Baili Lan!?" ”

Xin Xiang also found it hard to believe that such a sophisticated plan was actually from the hands of a woman in her cardamom years. But no matter how embarrassed he is, he can't deny that Baili Lan does have such capital and strength, which can make the enemy easily bow down.

"Big brother, why don't we check it out. I always feel that the court is a man's world, where does she have the ability to turn her hands into clouds and rain as a woman? Why don't I go and ask myself? ”

"No, Baili Lan made such a big move, and asked me to go and meet in person. This Baili Lan is really not simple. I still thought that I would wait for her to come to Liangcheng to find me with a mountain stone, so that the 100,000 taels of gold might have room for negotiation. But now, it seems that I can use 100,000 taels of gold to quench her appetite! "By underestimating the strength of his opponent, Xin Xiang paid a terrible price, which gave him a headache. Xin Xiang had conveyed what had happened in Bac Ninh to Emperor Nanzhao. But after Emperor Nanzhao heard this, he only granted Xin Xiang 50,000 taels of gold. The emperor said that this year's Nanzhao wind and rain were not good, there were disasters in many places, the treasury was tight, and there was not so much spare money for a woman who was accustomed to fine clothes and food. If it weren't for that, Xin Xiang would have gone to find Baili Lan a long time ago and would have returned to Panshan Stone. Xin Xiang knew Baili Lan's methods, if he knew such a result, I am afraid that the end of the mountain stone would be worrying. But if you don't say it, the emperor has no way to explain. Both sides pressed themselves hard, and Xin Xiang's hair turned gray in the past few days. Now Bai Lilan is using Shangguan Hai to remind herself, if she doesn't obediently hand over 100,000 taels of gold, I'm afraid she will use the same way she treats Shangguan Hai to help a certain reactionary minister, so that Nanzhao, which has not stopped for a few days, will cause a bloody storm again.

With a deep sigh, Xin Xiang closed his eyes tiredly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Since you have to go this way sooner or later, let's start earlier." Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I can't avoid it, so it's better to let my heart fall earlier. ”

Xin Xiang's generous and righteous expression puzzled Uda. It's obviously to see a beauty, why do you have a dead expression? What a guy who doesn't know how to have fun!

But when the two of them came to Dadu and stood in front of Baili Lan, Bai Lilan's natural noble aura still made the two of them want to surrender willingly.

"You mean, the emperor can only give me 50,000 taels of gold?"

Bai Lilan lowered her head and fiddled with the flower handle in her hand, making it impossible to see her expression. The voice was soft, but it was more like a blunt knife, cutting Xin Xiang's heart again and again. There was no bloodshed, but a heart was broken!

“…… That's right. The girl may not know that in the first two years of Nanzhao, the war has been fought for many years, and the treasury has been depleted and emptied. Although the emperor has vigorously promoted the policy of national stability since he ascended the throne, this year there was another flood, and there was no grain harvest in many places, and the people complained of hardship. In this case, all the money in the treasury was taken for disaster relief, and there was really no extra silver left to give to the girl. I hope the girl can understand the emperor's difficulties. ”

"I have been considerate of him, but who will be considerate of me? I promised to give out all the money, and if you don't give it to me, I can't explain it to others. Raising a pair of scissors, Baili Lan built off the excess branches and leaves on the flower stalk, and the sound of scissors "clicking" made Na Xin Xiang and Wuda feel cold in their hearts, "If you really can't take it out, the mountain stone is still placed here with me, and when the emperor can get together the money, I will return it to you." ”

The corners of Xin Xiang's mouth twitched, and the Emperor of the Heart Dao didn't mean to take out the remaining 50,000 taels at all, this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Monkey? And the emperor didn't know that he was holding Panshan Stone as a mortgage, and he had no way at that time, there was really nothing else to make up, and Baili Lan knew the goods, so he had to hand it over to the other party. After hearing the news from his cronies, he said that the reason why Shangguan Yan would seduce Baili Jun was to steal his own Panshan Stone. Although this matter was suppressed by Baili Lan in the end, it still made Xin Xiang break out in a cold sweat, and immediately made up his mind that no matter what, he would return the Panshan Stone, this thing was always a hidden danger if it was left outside.

But now Baili Lan has no intention of handing it over at all, which makes Xin Xiang have a headache. After pondering for a moment, Xin Xiang said with difficulty, "Baili girl, I know that it is indeed a little unreasonable to lose half of the ransom, but please understand my difficulties." If you don't look at it like this, the remaining 50,000 taels of gold, I will convert it into something else for you, as long as you are satisfied, I will do my best! ”

This proposal seemed to move Baili Lan's heart. She put down the flower handle in her hand, turned around to look at the sweaty Xin Xiang, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Is anything okay?" ”

It's that look again! On that day in Bac Ninh, I was calculated by such eyes!

Reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Xin Xiang swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty, "I, I'll do my best!" ”

"Heh, look at Xin Xiang's embarrassed look. Rest assured, since I choose to cooperate with you, I will not be strong. Since you said that there is a problem with the silver, well, let's compensate for it in another way. It just so happened that I had a few friends who wanted to open a store in Nanzhao and wanted to make it more convenient for Xin Xiangxing. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"yes, otherwise do you think I'm going to make some inhuman demand?" Bai Lilan looked at Xin Xiang amusedly, slightly hooking the corners of her mouth. It was sweet and seductive, like a strawberry waiting to be picked, and it was so delicious that it was delicious.

Hearing this, Xin Xiang's heart fell steadily, patted his chest, and said, "This kind of simple thing, even if the girl doesn't mention it, the old man has to help!" I don't know what the girl's friends are going to do here? ”
