Zhao Li's face was expressionless, his fair face was cold and handsome, but all of them showed an elegant and noble atmosphere, his deep eyes glanced at Wu Chengsi and me indifferently, and said indifferently: "You guys are so self-sufficient!" ”

After that, Zhao Li didn't linger any longer, and then turned around and left gracefully.

Looking at the back of leaving, Wu Chengsi suddenly pointed and said, "Thirteen, thank you!" ”

Zhao Li's steps paused slightly, and then walked away without looking back.

"What do you thank him?" I asked with some curiosity as I tilted my cerebellum and blinked with my beautiful eyes.

Wu Chengsi winked mischievously and said with a smile: "Guess! ”

Wu Chengsi had a small talk with Zhao Li today, and from Zhao Li's words, he knew that the lost gold bar was taken by Zhao Li, but Zhao Li had no intention of confessing them, just a small warning, which showed that Zhao Li did not want to harm them.

So his word of thanks, there are so many things.

I pursed my lips and said, "Don't talk about pulling down, I'm too lazy to guess!" Let's go! Let's go back. ”

In the palace, Emperor Zhao Longyan was furious, and his hands were clenched into fists: "Presumptuous, really too presumptuous, I want to be the Ninth Five, when did I suffer this kind of anger, it was the eldest princess of the year, she also had to be respectful to me, she Zhao Yan was so disrespectful, it was really too wanton." ”

On the side, there was no trace of a smile on Luo Gao's feminine face, he just said indifferently: "Your Majesty, if you can't swallow this breath, why don't you teach her a lesson?" Anyway, don't you want to know what kind of force the county lord Zhao Yan is now? Then let's take this opportunity to see if she is a martial artist. ”

"That sounds good, but what if she really is? It's not good for me to anger her, it's better to ......"

Emperor Zhao suddenly smiled coldly, a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, he beckoned to Luo Gao, and then muttered in his ear, after listening, Luo Gao nodded and said appreciatively: "Your Majesty, you are powerful, then the slave will do as you say." ”

After leaving the palace, Wu Chengsi got off my carriage, and on the way back to the Zhenguo Mansion, I suddenly said: "Wanyun, go to Lanxi Tower." ”

"Yes!" Wanyun replied respectfully, then let the carriage turn around and change direction.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of Lanxi Tower.

When my mother saw me coming, she immediately greeted me: "Lord Zhao, you are here!" ”

"Mom, let the girls stop and get started, I have something to say." I said to my mother.

Hearing this, although my mother didn't know why, she hurriedly asked the girls to gather together.

It wasn't until everyone was gathered that I spoke: "Mom, girls, Hongyan Village held a food conference, do you remember this?" ”

"Of course I remember, such an excellent food conference, how can I not remember!" Yinhong said first.

Liu Lu also smiled appreciatively and squinted: "Lord Zhao, as long as it passes through your hands, how can there be anything that you don't remember, whether it is the current Lanxi Building or Hongyan Village, I'm afraid that the people in the entire capital will remember." ”

I nodded: "Three days, just three days, they sold out the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and broad beans that the village had hoarded." ”

"Really? That's really good, I've heard that even eating is a problem in Hongyan Village, but now that they sell so much, food and clothing within that year will definitely not be a problem. Shu Bai is happy for Hongyan Village.

But just when my mother and girls were happy for the hard-working villagers in Hongyan Village, I poured cold water on them.

"Originally, it was not a problem, but now, the problem is big, Hongyan Village is now not only without food, but also without silver, because today, their village has been ransacked by bandits, so let alone eating rice, even the coarse food of potatoes, they don't have it, and they don't know where today's dinner is!"

"What, how is that?" Silver's eyes widened.

"So how are they doing now? No one is hurt, is he? Qilan said with some concern.

I shook my head: "It's okay for people, but in the future, at least for this year, they will have a problem with what they eat." ”

Hearing this, Xin Zi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay if the person is fine, everything else can be found, if something happens to the person, everything is false." ”

"Yes, yes! It's a big deal, I give them every month, but I don't need any money now. Shu Bai also said.

"And mine!"

"Count me in!"

……

Mom and girls, you raised your hands in agreement, looking at them like this, my heart became warm, and my eyes became sour.

I thought that before I entered the palace, I thought that Emperor Zhao would not be so cold, but Emperor Zhao only cared about his identity and status when he opened and closed his mouth, but it was these girls who were powerless, they knew more about the world than Emperor Zhao, and they were more humane.

"I understand your intentions, but if you want to get the moon silver, you should receive it, in fact, what I want to discuss with you today is that we signed a contract and promised to sell Lanxi Building for 10,000 taels, and then repay the loan in installments every month, but now, I want to discuss with you, there is still 9,000 taels left, can you push it back, because I want to scrape together some silver to send to the villagers of Hongyan Village."

Hearing this, the mother and the girls were stunned, looked at each other, and then laughed first.

"Lord Zhao, look at you so solemnly, isn't it a matter of later? What's there? We said earlier that even if you don't pay the final payment, we have no opinion, besides, if it weren't for you, we would be no different from those villagers now, so if we can help, my mother is very willing. Mom said with a smile.

"Lord Zhao, you have this heart, and we also have it, so we can't ask you to take care of Hongyan Village alone, we also want to contribute to this matter." Yinhong said.

The other girls didn't say anything, but they nodded.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to say, "Okay, donate half of your moon silver, and you will keep the rest." ”

After talking to my mother, in Lanxi Building, in addition to the amount to be used for turnover, I asked my mother to sum up the rest, which was more than 7,000 taels.

With the money, I came to Hongyan Village and asked the villagers to gather.

"Lord Zhao, did you chase the thief back? Will our money be returned? When he saw me, a villager asked anxiously.

I smiled at him and said, "Yes! It's been recovered, but not all of it has been recovered, and there are only seven thousand two hundred taels here, which is half of your original property, so I'm really sorry! ”

My word of apology contains a lot, whether it was they who were robbed, or whether they were implicated because of themselves, all in all, I feel really guilty, because all of this is because of me.

Hearing this, the villagers not only did not lose heart, but said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, we are already satisfied if we can recover half of it, at least we don't have to go hungry again this year." ”

"That's it, it's ......"

I smiled slightly, and said, "Then let's divide the silver first, there are forty-eight people in the village, and according to the population, one person can get back one hundred and fifty taels, the village chief, you come and send it to them." ”

With that, I handed the silver ticket to the village chief and walked out.

Behind me, Wanyun saw me go out, and also walked out: "County Lord, why did you lie to them that the silver was recovered?" That's money in your own pocket. ”

"I ......"

I opened my mouth to say something, but at this moment, Pingle's voice appeared behind us.

"Master, is what Wanyun said true? Did you take out the money yourself? ”

I was stunned, and when I turned around, I saw Pingle walking towards us.

Looking at Pingle, I sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you, but please keep this matter secret, don't tell the villagers, otherwise they will be burdened." ”

"But you can't hide it from them! It is a matter of course that you should remember and repay the favor of others for eternity, but if you lie to them that the money was recovered, then they will not know what you have done for them. ”

"Pingle, I'm not doing this to make them remember me, in short, you have to keep this matter a secret for me, you know?" I said solemnly.

In fact, I was afraid that if they knew that I had taken out the money myself, they would feel that they owed me a lot in their hearts, and they would feel that they owed me a favor in their hearts.

But what about the facts?

Actually, I owe them so much.

If I hadn't intervened in them, they wouldn't be like this now, so in the end, I'm just trying to alleviate my guilt.

Hearing this, Ping Le could only nod his head, but in his heart, he secretly swore that in the future, he would be loyal to him for the rest of his life, because the person in front of him deserved his eternal respect and love.
