The wind blew the hem of his clothes, and Wang Yanshu's eyes were slightly cold.

"Although Marquis Lin Xi's mansion has not been knighted for a long time, but the high-ranking Zhu Gui, what caused Steward Zhu to forcibly seize other people's properties under the blue sky and white sun?"

Zhu Changgui's eyes showed a fierce light, and he snorted: "Other people's industries? This is the property of the official family, when did it become the private property of your Ronglai Marquis Mansion? ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Zhu Changgui raised his head proudly, his face unattainable.

Wang Yanshu's expression did not move, but he was still as calm as a pool of water.

He retorted loudly: "This wharf belongs to the Yun family, and there is a salt post as proof, and this salt business is also licensed by the Ministry of Households." Steward Zhu, what does this have to do with you? ”

Zhu Changgui was stunned, his lips moved and he couldn't say one, two, three, four. His eyes dodged, and he hurriedly looked at the two adults on the side.

"Master Chen, you say." He has a bit of a dog's taste of fighting people, and he has arrogance again.

Wang Yanshu's eyes also looked at Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng glanced at his colleagues and said to him stubbornly: "Wang Yanshu, the household department wants to take back the Yun family's salt post." ”

"Do you have credentials?" Seeing that Chen Sheng was silent, Wang Yanshu knew in his heart. He was aggressive: "There is no decree from His Majesty, there is no decree of the Commander, and there is no household secretary, so the two adults are bluffing here." ”

"The Ronglai Marquis Mansion has made meritorious deeds for generations, so you can't be bullied at will?" His voice suddenly became cold and loud.

When Lao Wu's voice fell, his thumb was raised, and the cold sword was unsheathed.

Zhu Changgui swallowed his saliva.

Chen Sheng's face turned white, and he hurriedly smiled: "Mr. misunderstood, it's just that Marquis Lin Xi also wants to do this salt business, and he came today to discuss with the Marquis of Ronglai." ”

Lao Wu sneered: "Discussion? ”

Wang Yanshu glanced back at the soldiers of the hundred or so city defense battalions and the soldiers of the Marquis Lin Xi's mansion behind them.

He turned his head, and a layer of frost swept across his gentle eyebrows: "So discussed? People who don't know think that some kind of hooligan bandit is bullying me here, an unarmed scholar. ”

Lao Wu said: "Sir, our Ronglai Hou Mansion is not a vegetarian. The little master's things, piles and piles, we can take care of them. ”

Wang Yanshu smiled lightly, and the winter snow melted: "What the fifth brother said is true." He looked at Zhu Changgui: "Although Linfeng is a Confucian student, he will never give away the things of the county lord." ”

Zhu Changgui glared at him. He raised his eyebrows and glared back: "Lao asked Steward Zhu to go back and tell Master Hou that the matter of salt posts is up to the decisions of the lords of the household." If there are any more bandits making trouble at the docks, Linfeng doesn't mind hand-to-hand combat. ”

Although he is a scholar. But the momentum was awe-inspiring, but these fanatics did not dare to shout anymore.

Ji Xingyan turned over the wall of the Hou Mansion again, and Yun Zhao was no longer surprised.

"Zhao."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Wang Yanshu opened his eyes, stood up and bowed to him: "Eighth prince." ”

Ji Xingyan put up the score and waved his hand. Yun Zhao looked at Mr., he was also looking over, only to see him smile as before: "Today's class is over, don't come back too late." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Yun Zhao jumped up and went out with Ji Xingyan.

They turned out of the alley in front of the Hou Mansion and walked into the street.

"Ah Zhao, I won't be able to come to you at any time from tomorrow onwards."

"Why?"

Ji Xingyan tilted his head in annoyance: "Taifu has started class, and I have to report every day." ”

"Oh." Yun Zhao responded, a little lost, she asked, "Can't you be like me, finish your homework quickly, and then come out to play?" ”

Ji Xingyan looked at her apologetically, and could only reply with a bitter silence.

"Okay." Yun Zhaobian flattened his mouth.

Ji Xingyan smiled, raised his hand and patted her head: "Little girl, as soon as Taifu takes a vacation, I will come to play with you." ”

"Okay." She responded obediently and didn't do much tugging.

Like Master Zhou, she tried her best to get close, but she didn't rely on it much.

Ji Xingyan flicked it in her head, causing her to look at her angrily. But he laughed, happy like a peacock with the screen open.

Yun Zhao turned his head and frowned when he saw several people walking towards him.

The people at the head are the two brothers and sisters of the Zhu family, Lord Zhu was made a marquis a month ago, and for a while, the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and the arrogance of the Zhu Mansion was even more arrogant.

"Yo, isn't this the evil star of the Marquis of Ronglai's mansion?" Zhu Linian sneered, saw Ji Xingyan beside her, and arched his hand perfunctorily, "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is also here." ”

"Why did the prince forget to put a dog leash on himself when he went out, it's not good to bite people like this."

The corners of Yun Zhao's mouth trembled, and Ji Xingyan was still as sharp as ever.

Sure enough, Zhu Linian's face immediately became difficult to look at. Zhu Xin beside him showed a pitiful expression and accused Ji Xingyan: "Eighth Highness, how can you say this about my brother." ”

Ji Xingyan glanced at her. Yun Zhao tugged at his sleeve: "Let's go." ”

Zhu Linian watched them flee in the wilderness, so he straightened his waist even more: "I said that I am also a county lord, where can I compare to my sister by half a point!" ”

Yun Zhao ignored him and pulled Ji Xingyan forward.

Zhu Linian blocked her: "Heh, just by you, you also want to attack the lord and be the marquis?" You just have a bad life, you have a short-lived mother and a short-lived father! ”

Yun Zhao was like a crazy little beast, kicking and hitting Zhu Linian. She was shorter and smaller than others, and Ji Xingyan pounced on her to protect her. There are many of them, and Rao is Ji Xingyan has fists and feet, and he is also crushed to death.

Zhu Linian twisted Yun Zhao's ears and said viciously: "Cheap embryo! Yun Zhao jumped his foot and slapped him in the face.

Her eyes were red in anger, and she tilted her head to bite his wrist, which was about to tear off a piece of flesh raw.

The fifth child appeared in time to fish out the two children. Zhu Linian glanced at the row of bloody tooth marks on his wrist and glared at Yun Zhao: "You dare to bite me?" ”

"Phew." Yun Zhao spat on his saliva, with the smell of blood.

Lao Wu stood in front of them and said to Zhu Linian: "Shizi, if you hurt the little master again, don't blame your subordinates for being unkind." ”

"What are you?" Zhu Linian relied on some fists and feet, and didn't take the fifth child in his eyes at all. Ji Xingyan escorted Yun Zhao and took two steps back, they saw that Lao Wu did not move, and grabbed Zhu Linian with one hand.

Lao Wu grabbed his wrist and folded it back, and Zhu Linian wailed loudly.

"You let go of me!"

Zhu Xin also stepped forward at this time: "You let go of my brother!" ”

I don't know who reported the news, attracting the patrol soldiers of the city defense battalion. Lao Wu let go of his hand and threw Zhu Linian out.

In the upper study, the emperor looked at the two children kneeling in front of him, both of them hung up their colors, and they came in the door without saying a word.

"What, you guys are still justified in fighting?"

"Father, this matter!"

Yun Zhao suddenly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Yun Zhao wants to practice martial arts." ”

Ji Xingyan turned his head to look at her in shock. The Emperor stood up, walked over and bent down to help her up. The little girl's face was blue and purple, and the corners of her mouth were broken.

She has big eyes and no grievances.

"Why do you want to practice martial arts?"

"Yun Zhao wants to attack the lord openly." She did not want to rely on the shadow of her father and the mercy of the emperor. My father has died, and who knows how long the emperor's mercy will last? It's all unreliable.

"Good!" The emperor patted her on the back, "You are worthy of being the heir of the Marquis of Ronglai, I allow you to practice martial arts, if you are angry, I may be you in the future!" ”

Ji Xingyan lowered his head and hid the surprise in his eyes.

When he was seven years old, Yun Zhao worshiped General Zhao Rufeng, the commander of the forbidden army, as his teacher, and became the only female doll in the martial arts field of the Imperial City School.

Zhao Rufeng treated her like her own. When the sun was strong near noon, they often hid from the sun under the corridor of the school martial arts field, and General Zhao always talked to Yun Zhao about his and Rong Laihou when they were young, she always pretended to be careless, but she remembered every word clearly.

It was one of the few moments when she was closer to her father.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yun Zhao was practicing swords in the courtyard, and Wang Yanshu was sitting in the shade under the tree reading the account book.

Old Wu Feng came in in a hurry, and Yun Zhao smiled: "Fifth uncle, you accompany me to practice swords." ”

Lao Wu bowed to her: "Little master, I have something to do with my husband." ”

Yun Zhao shrugged.

Wang Yanshu looked at the fifth child coming over, smiled slightly and asked, "Is the salt post down?" ”

"Yes." Lao Wu took out a wooden box from his arms, Wang Yanshu opened it, and inside was the salt post paperwork.

Yun Zhao also came over, and his small body jumped on Wang Yanshu's lap, and he reached out to hug her.

She looked at it and pouted: "Fifth uncle, just send a paperwork, why can't you accompany me to practice swords?" "It's just a piece of paper.

Lao Wu said: "For this salt post, the people of Lin Xihou's Mansion almost lifted our dock. ”

Yun Zhao frowned, she looked at her husband, and Wang Yanshu was glaring at the fifth child.

"Sir?"

Wang Yanshu patted her head: "It's okay." ”

Yun Zhao pouted: "Mr. said that it is not a lie." ”

He sighed: "You don't have to worry about business. Go and practice swords, be careful that General Zhao will punish you tomorrow. ”

Yun Zhao shuddered, jumped down and picked up the wooden sword, and made a decent swing movement.

Wang Yanshu glared at Lao Wu again. Lao Wu wiped his mouth and smiled: "Sir, how did you get this salt from the household?" Lin Xihou blatantly ran to the household several times. ”

"The head of the household, Li Miaocheng, is out of the same door as my teacher. Lord Feng has his back to Wu Anhou, why do you need to stir up this troubled water. ”

Lao Wu raised his eyebrows: "But I heard that Lin Xihou didn't send him less silver." ”

"If you don't do anything with the money, what can Zhu Jingkun do with him?"

Also, no matter how capable Lin Xihou is, he can't compare to Wu Anhou.

Wang Yanshu took a sip of tea and said, "I have already arranged the affairs of the southwest, Old Five, if you have someone at hand, send two to keep an eye on it." ”

"Okay." The fifth child asked, with excitement piling up at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "Hurt your muscles and bones?" ”

"Lin Xihou Shizi hurt Zhao'er and made her suffer, so she has to pay it back." Wang Yanshu smiled lightly, his gentle appearance made Lao Wu tremble.

The Zhu family bought a mine in the southwest and invested a large amount of silver. Ben also saw the miner pull out carts of rough stones from the mine, and the jadeite that came out was transparent and green, and there was very little waste. Thinking that it was a good deal, people and money were invested in it, and almost all the rough stones that were opened were scrap.

Wang Yanshu kindly lent Lin Xihou a large sum of money to fill the hole. Before the New Year, the Ronglai Marquis Mansion received almost half of the Zhu family's property in the southwest.

Of course, these things are not known to Yun Zhao. She stumbled and bruised in Zhao Rufeng's hands every day, tired like a dead dog.

Since the incident with Lin Xihou's Mansion, Lao Wu quietly sent people to spread the news, and those wealthy nobles who watched and stood aside all died down, although there was only one female doll left, no one dared to rashly despise the Hou Mansion again.
