Meng Xingci originally wanted to go to the private room of a nearby restaurant, but was refused, Meng Xingci was a little surprised, until Song Nian pointed to the family emblem of the Bai family next to him.

Bai Zhilun walked over and angrily reprimanded Xiao Er: "Open the door to do business, how can there be a reason to turn away guests?" After a pause, he came out and personally asked: "Lord Meng, please give me a chance to make amends." ”

Ling Huan said: "My lord, if we don't go, who knows if they will be poisoned?" ”

Bai Zhilun: "......"

I almost forgot the fear of being dominated by the little maid.

In the end, the few people chose another restaurant, and Bai Zhilun also followed cheekily.

Ling Huan quietly asked Meng Ye to pay attention to Bai Zhilun, lest he want to murder his own adult.

Fang Zhongda was taken to the execution ground, Meng Xingci opened the window, and saw Bai Weiyi with a woman beside him, thinking that it was Aunt Fang.

Meng Xingci looked at Bai Zhilun: "Master Bai is below, Bai Gongzi doesn't go to say hello, it's a bit unfilial, right?" ”

Bai Zhilun shook his fan and said slowly: "If I go, it will be unfilial." ”

Meng Xingci couldn't help laughing.

The two stood by the window, standing side by side, watching Aunt Fang crying and looking at Fang Zhongda, and Bai Weiyi on the side comforted Aunt Fang.

Bai Zhilun has been watching this scene indifferently.

The executioner's hand raised and fell, Fang Zhongda's head fell to the ground, Aunt Fang immediately fainted, Bai Weiyi hugged him, and strode away with an anxious face.

Meng Xingci raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the days of Bai Dagongzi going back are not easy, or you should not go back." ”

Bai Zhilun shook his head, but said with a straight face: "I can hide, but my mother can't hide, I want to go back." ”

Meng Xing was stunned for a moment, Bai Zhilun respected Wei's.

Ling Huan clapped his hands and said: "It's finally dead, let him want to harm my family, this is his end!" ”

Song Nian hurriedly held her down and didn't let her jump: "You can stop, the wound has just healed, don't move." ”

Ling Huan pursed his lips and was unwilling: "The adults didn't say anything." ”

Meng Xing said: "You listen to Ah Nian's words, stop." ”

Ling Huan secretly glared at Song Nian and stopped talking.

Song Nian lowered his voice and said, "I'll peel melon seeds for you when I go back later." ”

Ling Huan became happy at this time, "Then you peel more." ”

Meng Ye stood silently beside the two of them, expressionless.

Meng Xingci thought for a while and said to him: "It's okay, after a while, the son will also find you a daughter-in-law." ”

Meng Ye said without hesitation: "Gongzi Xie, but his subordinates don't need it." Being a woman will only affect my speed, which is a big taboo as a martial artist. Everything that will affect martial arts is not needed by subordinates! ”

Meng Xingci: "......" this wood.

After watching the execution, the group returned to their homes. Meng Xingci wrote Tianzetang's case as a recital and sent it to Shangjing, waiting for Zhao Jin's execution.

The holy decree of Shangjing soon arrived, and Meng Xingci replaced the current Hedong Taishou Xu Zhengxing and became the new Hedong Taishou. As for Xu Zhengxing and Bai Zhichen returning to Beijing together, but Xu Zhengxing has made no achievements in Hedong for so many years, and there is another incident in Tianzetang, and a crime of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped. As for his crimes, it depends on how much he is involved with the scholars in Hedong.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not care about the Hedong Shi clan or Xu Zhengxing, and everyone only noticed Meng Xingci. At the beginning, Meng Xing was just a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, a six-rank petty official, and he became a county magistrate in the Hanlin Academy for just over a year. Now she has become a four-grade Taishou in three years of expatriation, and she is the first official in Hedong, she is still so young, but the speed of promotion is unparalleled.

Meng Xingci's unlimited future is recognized by Daqi officialdom, and people with a discerning eye can also see that after Meng Xingci rectifies the Hedong Shi clan, the emperor may have to transfer her back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, he will serve as the second-in-command of at least one of the six departments.

In a few years, she has made achievements, and it will be time to enter the cabinet, and sooner or later the position of the first assistant will have to be surnamed Meng.

So now, let's see Meng Xingci's performance in Hedong. Whether she can hand over a beautiful answer sheet, like her actual performance in Suiyuan County, is a matter of great attention in Daqi officialdom.

Everyone knows that the matter of Tianzetang is just the beginning, and the real problem in Hedong is that the scholars enclose land for their own use, and the people are unable to continue. If you want to purge the Hedong scholars, you can't bypass the land measurement and put an end to the problem of tax evasion by the scholars.

This is the real game between Meng Xingci and the Hedong Shi clan.

After Meng Xingci took over as the Taishou of Hedong, he suddenly kept a low profile, being an official and handling government affairs in a decent manner, everything was as usual, and he didn't even issue a government order.

This did not make the Shi clan relax, and everyone was on alert, waiting for Meng Xing to resign.

In the study of the Meng Mansion, Jiang Xiaofei strode into the study.

When Meng Xingci saw him, he said: "There is Linghuan's freshly boiled sour plum soup on the table, which has been chilled, you can drink a little first to relieve your fatigue." ”

The weather in Hedong is hot, and the sun is still fierce even after the autumn harvest. Meng Xingci was helpless, why couldn't she go to a place where the seasons were like spring.

Jiang Xiaofei was not polite, and drank most of the bowl with a grunt. Following Meng Xingci is good at this, eating and drinking are the best.

Jiang Xiaofei put down the bowl, and then said: "Don't worry, the letter has been delivered, and the adults are already going to meet over there." ”

Meng Xingci breathed a long sigh of relief: "So I'm relieved." ”

Jiang Xiaofei pouted and said, "We are sending them money, what else are they unwilling?" Adults worry too much. ”

Meng Xingci said casually: "After all, they are bandits, so they always have to be careful." ”

Jiang Xiaofei smiled: "The adults know that they are bandits, we are officials, and the officials and bandits should be natural enemies, but the adults thought of cooperating with them." Unbeknownst to the adults, when I said this offer, they were all shocked, and I almost laughed. ”

Meng Xingci leaned back in the chair easily, but his expression was a little cold: "What is an official?" What is Bandit? What are the people? In my opinion, those scholars who oppress the people and increase their rents are bandits. Most of the grain that the common people had worked hard to grow for a year was finally handed over to the scholars. Even if the people were to be grateful to them, this behavior was no different from that of banditry. ”

Some of the lord's families are still good, and the rent is reasonable, and the people are still satisfied. But the scholars in Hedong, even if they are bankers, collect fifty percent of the rent, leaving only a little grain for the tenant farmers, and the people are getting poorer and poorer, not to mention studying, and even living is difficult.

Jiang Xiaofei looked solemn, and after following Meng Xingci for a long time, he became more and more respectful of her.

Jiang Xiaofei couldn't help but say: "But even so, do adults really want to do this?" To meet them in person? They are all bandits, and their status as adults is precious, so how can they take risks? ”

Meng Ye, who was outside the door, immediately walked in when he heard the word danger, and only looked at Meng Xingci with a heavy gaze.
