Because of the deep concern about the weakening of his own guard, on the return journey, His Royal Highness the King of Jin seemed unusually silent and solemn, so that Binu and Ah Lu both sensed that something was wrong, and the two maids naturally did not dare to ask their masters, so they pulled Ai Lu into the carriage and asked the east and west—the princess was still riding, so the chariot and the maidservants were only used.

Ah Lu kept in mind the dogma of keeping his mouth shut, even if he refused to say more to the princess's henchmen, the two maids tried hard and soft to no avail, and they were very depressed, but there was nothing to do, and the two maids were depressed, Ai Lu turned around and complained to the princess, telling them the truth.

is also a woman, the princess naturally understands the second maid's desire for knowledge for "flying short and long", and she will not blame it, but she herself did not notice that He Ye was unusual, so she suspected that the second maid was making a big fuss, and saw that Ai Lu was holding back her little face and flushed, as if she was distressed because she had many opinions that could not be declared, and she was also curious for a while, so she simply abandoned the horse and boarded the car and joined the ranks of chewing tongues.

The second maid saw that the princess was not to blame, and even encouraged Ai Lu to reveal the secret, and immediately turned her worries into joy, first Ah Lu said conclusively: "Although I heard the father of the world say, His Royal Highness has always been silent, but he never shows his heart on his face, and his temperament is not really irritable, there are only a few of us at the moment, even if someone is watching behind, he doesn't dare to get too close, there is no need to disguise, but His Royal Highness still looks solemn, as if he is dissatisfied, so the maid is suspicious, is it not a trip to Mingde Temple, His Royal Highness and the princess have a dispute?" ”

Binu hurriedly bowed his head and expressed his support for Alu's judgment.

"Ai Lu thinks so, too?" The princess gave Ai Lu the opportunity to express her opinions.

Ai Lu said that he was like a river and poured thousands of miles: "The princess did not dispute with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness was cautious, deliberately awkward, that day to Mingde Temple, His Royal Highness was distressed that 100,000 yuan was given to those big monks in vain, and when the two were handed over to the princess, he was quite reluctant, a face seemed to be smeared with pot ash, and then Luo Jiulang chased after him, insisted on entertaining him for another day, and was courteous to the princess, His Royal Highness agreed to it in his mouth, but he was not very happy, and many robbed Bai Luo Jiulang, even if people prepared delicious wine and food, His Royal Highness did not have a smiling face, When I went back to the guest room, I actually planned to let me spy on the princess, and later said that it was a joke, so that I didn't have to take it seriously, but I put the incense burner at the door, and when the princess went back at night, she almost tripped and fell, isn't it that His Royal Highness intends to retaliate? ”

Binu and Ah Lu looked at each other, not quite believing that His Royal Highness the King of Jin would do such a childish act.

The princess also couldn't laugh or cry, and patted Ai Lu lightly: "Don't make it blind, Your Highness doesn't like incense, so I let the incense burner out, I accidentally kicked it, where did I stumble." ”

According to the princess, He Ye should have not rested well for two consecutive nights, and in the past few days, the diet is not to the taste, so he is a little sluggish, and his mood is naturally not happy.

As he was talking, he heard the car window knocked, Ai Lu opened it easily, and outside the crack, the dark face of His Royal Highness King Jin was revealed: "Little girl, I don't know how to be quiet when I say bad things about people, isn't it begging for a beating?" Glancing at the princess again: "The princess is so free, chewing my teeth behind my back, fortunately, I haven't forgotten to refute the rumors, in the end, it is not to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and repay virtue with grievances." ”

Binu and Ah Lu glanced at each other, and their curiosity simply did not swell to explode: what river did the princess cross, and what bridge did Her Highness build, oops, in just two days, how much kindness did His Royal Highness give to the princess?

The second maid looked at Ai Lu with blazing eyes, but the girl spread her hands, saying that she didn't know, as for the princess, she didn't mean to reveal the secret at all, and smiled slightly without saying a word.

Curious, right? Curious to death you, let you talk about the privacy of this king behind your back!

He Ye achieved the purpose of revenge, his legs tightened, and he ran forward with his mount, but the corners of his mouth finally bent up, and he didn't know what to be happy about.

The road was calm, and they returned to the Jin Palace, and those stalkers were naturally scattered, and they didn't notice it at all, behind their group of praying mantises, there were still several yellow finch.

He Ye and Eleven Niang just entered the mansion, and saw Ruan Ling coming, during this time he was busy with the renovation of Zhangtai Garden, so he did not follow the King of Jin to Taigu, but Ruan Ling was also willing to stay in Jinyang, and did not complain about it, but today his expression was quite solemn, with a mouth, and his words were not pleasant: "The two of you are finally back?" ”

Eleven Niang's heart sank: "But something happened to the sixth brother?" ”

He Ye was about to make fun of Ruan Changshi's resentful woman's face, and when he heard this, his brows were also frowned, although he was also very worried about Lu Li, but he was more concerned about the princess's attitude, how could he immediately think of Lu Li when he saw Ruan Ling's attitude? Isn't it that the princess has been worried about him these days?

Of course, Eleven Niang's association is not groundless, although Ruan Ling is arrogant and has always been too high-eyed, but since he surrendered to King Jin, although he is not in awe, his attitude is also friendly, and he will never be resentful because he can't accompany Taigu, but his expression is so bad today, if it weren't for the fact that he is not even, Eleven Niang really can't think of the rest of the reasons.

"Brother Xue went to the outskirts of the city the day before yesterday to inspect his home field, but he was surrounded by tenants, and there was a conflict, and he almost didn't startle the horse." Ruan Ling said with a calm face.

The princess had already lifted her feet and walked to Lu Li's residence.

Of course, He Ye also followed, and when he heard about the situation, he didn't care about the looming feelings between the princess and Lu Li, and hurriedly asked Ruan Ling: "Xuanzhi hasn't been injured, right?" ”

"Thanks to my uncle's ability to arrange the guards, and the situation was calmed down in time, Brother Xue was fine, but he was cursed by those Diao people...... Mao Tending to the Jinyang Order that day, but he stood by and watched, this matter must be inseparable from Mao Tend, uncle, even if there is no evidence, you can't take Mao Tend, but you must not let go of that group of Diao people, beat and scold the court officials, is it because you want to rebel? Ruan Ling was angry.

After seeing Lu Li, Eleven Niang and He Ye learned more about the accident.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, Mao Tending to take advantage of the Jin King's trip, offered to accompany Lu Li to inspect the homeland field, who knew that he had just arrived in Jinyang to order the jurisdiction of the suburbs, but his line was blocked by twenty or thirty tenant farmers, and attracted a lot of peasants and ordinary people to watch, the tenant farmers shouted that the court used the excuse to implement the new policy, intending to clear the investigation of the fugitive households, in fact, he wanted to defile the tenant farmers as fugitives and sentenced them to the punishment of confiscation, and Xue Shaoyin, who advocated the implementation of the new policy, naturally became the target of the public, and the tenant farmers cursed Lu Li as a traitorous official and greedy eunuch, and did not give the tenant farmers a way to live, and concluded that many farmers in Taiyuan Mansion would also be affected by the new policy. Bear heavier taxes, intended to encourage the people to make trouble.

Mao tended to make a pretend, but in fact he became more and more angry with the people, and saw that a conflict was inevitable.

Fortunately, Lu Li stopped the official detaining the troublemaker in time, and naturally did not make that useless excuse, and walked away, which did not make the situation worse.

But in the past two days, rumors have been spread by people with intentions in the market, and this conflict has become known to everyone, and even many people have questioned Lu Li, the young Yin, who is unreasonable, and the new policy is not to reduce the burden of the people, but will make the people of Taiyuan suffer even more.

All of a sudden, the hearts of the people in Jinyang City fluctuated, especially the poor people, who were all worried.

However, Lu Li didn't feel panicked, he didn't even care about the vicious slander at all, even if he faced the concern of King Jin and Shi Niang this day, it was only light and light: "Don't worry, although there was an accident, it was expected, His Royal Highness had already arranged it, and the lower officials were unharmed." ”

"Mao Wei really took the lead." He Ye snorted coldly and glanced at Ruan Ling, who was still indignant: "Xuanzhi is only proper to deal with it like this, if according to your words, arresting those tenants and questioning them for their crimes, it will make people more and more panicked, and those with ill intentions will make waves in the future, maybe there will be civil unrest." ”

"Could it be that we just see rumors spread and let Brother Xue be slandered?" Ruan Ling was not convinced.

"Now that the detailed rules of the new policy have not yet been formulated, just empty words cannot appease the people." Eleven Niang also said: "If you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, you must implement it in specific benefits, and you must not exert coercion, otherwise you will fall into Mao Wei's treacherous scheme. ”

"It is true that they are all tenants, and many of them must be fugitives, and because of their own interests, they only listen to the instigation of others."

"Since it is a fugitive, it is a violation of the law, let's act according to the law, what is there to fear?" Ruan Ling was still unconvinced.

"There is also helplessness in escaping, in the final analysis, if they can live and work in peace and contentment, why should they sell their property and depend on the clan? It is the two dynasties of Suzong and Dezong, who fled from Qingcha, but only repatriated to their hometowns, and did not impose heavy punishments on the fugitives. Eleven Niang said.

Ruan Ling stopped arguing.

"But although the tenant farmers do not pursue it, the master behind them cannot indulge." Eleven Niang said again: "Has the sixth brother ever checked the main family behind it? ”
