Chapter 379: Stalemate

After Cui Qingyuan's carriage drove into the city of Nanyue, the depressed appearance of the city made him even more shocked.

Shocked and angry in his heart, damn Chen Tai, what did he do to make a good city become what it is now?

Even if Nanyue Mansion has never been very rich, it has not reached this level of ten shops and nine emptiness!

Chen Tai, this bastard thing, just died like this, it's too cheap for him!

"Whose shop is there?"

Along the way, most of the shops were closed, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

Therefore, Cui Qingyuan simply got off the carriage, and Cui Xiu also followed behind him, walking all the way to watch.

The streets were so deserted, and it wasn't until the grocery store opened by the Ning family that their uncle and nephew saw a trace of popularity.

Because they walked slowly, Tian Dongyuan and the others kept following behind the Cui family's uncle and nephew.

Hearing Master Cui's inquiry, Tian Dongyuan glanced at the grocery store, and recognized at a glance that the person who was busy in the shop was Ning Laosi, who was invited to the banquet when Lord Chen was killed before.

"This person's surname is Ning, his name is Ning Youcai, he originally lived in Anzhen, Huxian County, and only opened a grocery store here half a year ago, specializing in collecting seafood and selling some things that are not available in Nanyue Mansion here."

Hearing what Tian Dongyuan said, Cui Qingyuan looked at Ning Laosi, who was busy in the shop, thoughtfully.

Although many people ran away from Nanyue Province, there were still many people left.

As long as there are ordinary people left, he has the confidence to govern Nanyue Province well.

Therefore, this store opened by Ning Youcai must continue to open.

"Go to the government."

After taking a closer look at the shop, Cui Qingyuan beckoned people to leave.

Ning Laosi was originally busy in the shop, but he was not a dead man.

Where can you not feel like being stared at like that?

The person who was staring at him, he didn't know, and he felt strange.

However, the momentum on that body is very large, and it seems that he should be an official.

When he saw Lord Tian, who had arrested them and put them in prison, following behind that person, Ning Laosi's head suddenly lit up.

It seems that he guessed correctly, this staring at him must be a big official.

And now in Nanyue Fuzhong, that Futai Lord has been killed, so this is the new Futai Lord, right?

"It should be the new Futai lord.

I just don't know if this new Futai master is the same as the previous one! ”

After Ning Laosi saw Cui Qingyuan, he finally got to the time when the door closed, so he hurriedly ran towards Yujiawan.

After seeing Ning Pengpeng, he told her about Cui Qingyuan as soon as possible.

Ning Pengpeng thought about it, nodded, and replied with certainty.

However, then she had a headache, what if this new Futai master is also a big corrupt official?

Could it be that Eleven will assassinate again?

Thinking of this, Ning Pengpeng's eyes couldn't help but look at Eleven who was licking maltose.

Seeing Ning Peng Peng looking at him, Eleven Guardian hid the maltose in his hand behind him, and looked at Ning Peng Peng with a vigilant face.

Seeing Eleven's appearance, Ning Pengpeng scratched her forehead with a headache.

Forget it, she doesn't have that much ability to summon this ancestor.

These days, this ancestor has eaten her things in this Yujiawan.

Now it's amazing, and she actually asked Qing Niang to make maltose for her.

Hmph, she hasn't asked Qing Niang to help her make maltose.

So, this eleven is too much!

Ning Pengpeng thought a little angrily, Ning Laosi saw it, and was speechless to death.

My mother is so old, why is she still worried about a little girl?

Qing Niang watched from the sidelines, a little crying and laughing.

No wonder some people say that old children, old children, and now old ladies, aren't they just old children, actually eating eleven vinegar?

However, it is obvious that this new arrival of Lord Futai is completely different from the previous Lord Chen.

After arriving in this Nanyue province, various decrees and laws were soon promulgated.

There was a person who could read and write, and the illiterate people cheered after listening to the explanation word by word on the bulletin board.

In the past, those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes did not have to be paid, not to mention, and a settling-in fee was given to the people who were willing to come back.

Naturally, it is impossible for Cui Qingyuan to pay for the money for settling in.

But in the mansion of Lord Chen in front, the silver in the warehouse was almost full.

When he entered, he almost blinded himself.

I don't know if this Lord Chen believes in his own ability too much, and feels that Lao Tzu, the king of Nanyue Mansion, is the first, and he is the second, so he just piled up the silver in his private treasury at will.

I don't worry about others coming to investigate his corruption, but you can imagine how this Lord Chen Taichen covered the sky with one hand in this Nanyue Mansion!

"Master Cui, this silver is still better not moving.

I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take it away like this. ”

Tian Dongyuan watched Cui Qingyuan ask people to move out the silver in the private treasury, knowing that it was for the common people, but his brows were tightly locked.

"Lord Tian, you just have to be responsible for the records.

What is wrong with the use of this silver, which was originally taken from the people? ”

Tian Dongyuan was blocked by his words and had nothing to say.

But if all this money is used up, even if there is an account book that he has recorded, it will be difficult to explain the situation at that time.

What's more, it was the second prince who investigated this time.

Could it be that the second prince found out the corruption, but he couldn't see half a piece of silver?

Therefore, Tian Dongyuan took his subordinates and stopped at the door of the private treasury, preventing Cui Qingyuan's people from moving the silver out.

One wants to move, the other doesn't move, the two compartments are deadlocked, and I heard someone come to report quickly, the second prince and the marble temple Shaoqing Zheng arrived.

Hearing this, Tian Dongyuan's face finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Cui Qingyuan furrowed his eyebrows.

The reason why he wanted to use the silver on the heads of the common people in front of the second prince was that he was actually worried that if the second prince really arrived, he was afraid that the silver would not reach the hands of the common people.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw the second prince and Zheng Zixiu hurriedly rushing in from outside.

Especially the second prince, with a tense face, when he saw Cui Qingyuan and Tian Dongyuan confronting each other, he looked at the people on both sides, and found that the box containing the silver had not been moved out, and he suddenly felt certain.

"Master Cui, this silver is evidence, you dare to use it at will?"

"Master Cui, your move is really inappropriate."

The words of the second prince and Zheng Zixiu were said one after the other.

It's just that the second prince raised his eyebrows.

Zheng Zixiu had a straight face, and his eyes were full of disapproval.

When Cui Qingyuan heard the words of the two of them, he immediately closed his eyes, knowing that now that the general trend was gone, it was estimated that he would not be able to get half a tael of silver no matter how much he said.

But when he thought of the ordinary people fleeing along the road, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he was blocked by a mass of things.
