"Princess, please speak."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Xiao Rui, you go back to the Royal Commercial House first and wait for me."

Princess Xiangcheng was about to speak, but saw that Xiao Rui and the others were also here.

immediately put on a straight face and ordered Xiao Rui to leave here first, not wanting him to hear his thoughts.

"Princess, I'm your colt!"

Xiao Rui emphasized.

He was now unsure of the relationship between Princess Xiangcheng and Fang Yuan.

The two wanted to chat privately on their own, which made him very unhappy and didn't want to agree.

"Not yet!"

"Do you want to disobey the orders of this princess?"

Princess Xiangcheng's face sank and she said coldly.

Don't say it's not now, even the pony has to listen to the princess.

"Don't dare!"

Xiao Rui hurriedly bowed his head.

At the same time, I wondered in my heart, how did Princess Xiangcheng change into a person?

In the past, she was obviously so elegant and dignified.

Now it seems to be domineering with elegance, and it seems to be a queen.

But Xiao Rui didn't have any disgust, but liked Princess Xiangcheng even more at this moment.

"Then go back first."

Princess Xiangcheng ordered again.

"Yes."

Xiao Rui should be obedient.

Leave with two of his retinue.

Before leaving, he looked at Fang Yuan deeply.

"Fang Yuan, let's talk about it inside."

Princess Xiangcheng pointed to the inside of the Thorn Mansion and said.

It's the street, and although there is no one now, it's strangely cold.

And it's even more impossible to talk about business on the street.

"Princess, please."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Make an inviting gesture and invite two people to enter.

Soon, the three of them changed places and changed the conference room of the Assassin's Mansion.

The state clerk prepared hot tea, then closed the door and left.

"Fang Yuan, in the afternoon, the method of helping me analyze in Vortex Cloud Mountain already knows my identity, right?"

Princess Xiangcheng went straight to the point.

Fang Yuan said just now, he has known about it for a while.

Then she already knew her status as a princess before today.

Du Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, at this moment she also remembered this matter.

Fang Yuan already knew the identity of Princess Xiangcheng, and he even dared to bring up the matter of breaking the marriage contract.

What a boldness!

It was a royal marriage!

"Yes."

Fang Yuan didn't deny it and said calmly.

"If you know that, how dare you say that?"

Princess Xiangcheng was surprised.

Now that he knows, he is helping to ruin the royal wedding.

The royal marriage is not an ordinary marriage, it is a matter of public interest.

"I also said at that time, as the history of Liaozhou, there are some things I can't say."

"But as a friend, I want you to think carefully and pursue your own happiness."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"Since you are a friend, then in private, you can call me Wanxiu like Miaoyan."

"At the same time, as a friend, I still have something I want to ask you, and it depends on whether your method can succeed!"

Princess Xiangcheng pondered for a moment and smiled happily.

She thought about it seriously, Fang Yuan still helped herself after guessing that she was a princess, and she really regarded herself as a friend.

If it is hypocritical, just ignore it, and there is no need to intervene in this matter.

After all, Xiao Rui is not an ordinary person, he is Xiao Yu's eldest son, and the heir of the Lanling Xiao family's Southern Liang Fang.

In this matter, the benefits brought by the friendship of the princess are definitely not as great as the hostility of the Xiao family.

Therefore, Fang Yuan's friendship with him is pure and not mixed with interests.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Yuan asked.

"Hide it for me, don't tell my father that I have revealed my identity to you."

"Otherwise, he will definitely be unhappy, and it will be even more difficult for me to ruin my marriage with Xiao Rui."

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

This matter is very important, and it has to do with the emperor's attitude towards her.

The emperor's attitude was an important means for her to rebel against the marriage between her and Xiao Rui.

"That's fine."

The listing pondered for a moment, and the color was right.

"Okay, high-five!"

Princess Xiangcheng stretched out her palm to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan didn't hesitate and slapped her.

"Whew, finally relieved."

"Fang Yuan, why do you know our identities and act like you don't know?"

Princess Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

I was finally able to let go of my worries.

With Fang Yuan's consent, the emperor would not have known.

As for Xiao Rui, he didn't know much about this matter, just go back and warn again.

"Why do you want to know?"

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically.

Acting like a kneel to grovel after knowing?

Although the relationship between a courtier and an emperor in the Tang Dynasty was not that of a master and a servant, it was not a relationship of friends.

There is an unbridgeable gap between the two identities, Fang Yuan is a person who likes freedom and does not like to bow to others.

Fortunately, it is not to travel to the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, otherwise kneeling is even more uncomfortable.

"Well, that doesn't seem to be wrong."

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan glanced at each other and said in amazement.

"Fang Yuan, do you know my identity?"

Du Miaoyan looked at Fang Yuan and asked with anticipation.

"Shangshu's right servant shoots Du Ruhui's daughter?!"

Fang Yuan said uncertainly.

He has confirmed the identity of the housekeeper Lao Du.

But whether Du Miaoyan is Du Ruhui's daughter Fang Yuan has not investigated.

In fact, which princess Li Wanxiu is Fang Yuan has not checked.

It was Li Shimin who was introduced as the eldest daughter at that time, and Fang Yuan guessed that it was the princess of Xiangcheng.

"Mm-hmm, that's me, I'm the eldest daughter."

"It was my father who asked me to come to Liaozhou to find you and get to know you."

Du Miaoyan nodded again and again, excited with a little shyness.

It was my father who chose you to be my husband, so let me get to know you.

But Du Miaoyan couldn't say such explicit words, but in fact, it was about the same.

"Du Xiang has a kindness to me, when you go back and talk to me, I will prepare some gifts."

Fang Yuan nodded and said solemnly.

From the known information, Du Ruhui seems to have helped himself three times.

For the first time, according to his resume, he was almost ineligible to be promoted to the history of Liaozhou, and the most likely thing was to be transferred to Shangxian as a county commander, but I heard that Du Ruhui personally went to the ministry to make a decision, so he had the position of Liaozhou assassin.

The second time, when he first took office, the people of one city and three counties in Liaozhou gathered at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion and heard the news from the relationship in Chang'an City, and many officials impeached themselves, but they were suppressed by Du Ruhui.

The third time, that is, to deal with the Xiwen Pei family, when dealing with Pei Lian, Fang Yuan's idea was to use Wang Qi to help, but he didn't expect Du Ruhui to also lend a hand.

This was a noble person like Zhao Yingcai, and Fang Yuan was very grateful to them.

"If you want to be grateful, you don't need any gifts, just be kind to Miaoyan."

Princess Xiangcheng took the lead and said before Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan's face became even redder, and she was not too embarrassed to look at Fang Yuan.

But she has a relatively cold temperament, and she is not so shy that she bows her head and does not dare to see people.

"That's nature."

"In Liaozhou, no one must bully her."

Fang Yuan is the color road.

"Speaking of going back, I'm going to go back early."

"Originally, I wanted to play for a few more days, but when Xiao Rui came, I didn't stay, and it was better to go back earlier."

Princess Xiangcheng glanced at Fang Yuan, secretly scolded Fang Yuan for not understanding what she was saying, and then sighed.

"Then I'll go back with you."

Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and said slowly.

She promised to help Princess Xiangcheng, and she has been away from home for a long time.

The most important thing is that it's December, and this year is coming to an end, so go home and come back after the Shangyuan Festival.

"Determine the time, and I'll have some gifts for you."

Fang Yuan did not retain.

All good things come to an end.

Maybe it will be better next time.

"It's almost annual vacation, Fang Yuan, what are your plans?"

Du Miaoyan asked.

She kind of wanted to invite Fang Yuan to Chang'an City to play.

"Go to Langzhou to visit a nobleman."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

This noble man is Zhao Yingcai.

After receiving the previous document in Wuling County, he couldn't personally thank Zhao Yingcai for his cultivation, and Fang Yuan felt that he couldn't go.

Now at the end of the year, there is finally a seven-day holiday, but no matter what, I have to visit Zhang San and a few people in person.

"That's good."

Du Miaoyan smiled and said.

Since it is to meet the nobles, it is important to meet the nobles.

Chang'an City will always be there, and there will be no problem when to play.

"Then don't talk about it."

"I've got to go back and warn that short-lived ghost."

Princess Xiangcheng sighed and got up.

After learning that Xiao Rui was a short-lived ghost, she was even more disgusted with this marriage.

No matter what, she will try hard once, it is man-made, and she will not regret failure.

"I'll send you."

Fang Yuan also got up.

"No, there's a wonderful face."

"It's true that you go back to the Fang Mansion to pay attention."

Princess Xiangcheng rejected Fang Yuan's kindness.

The Assassin's Mansion and the Royal Commercial House are 100 meters away, so there is no need to send them.

And with Du Miaoyan, a super master, there is no need to worry about safety at all.

"Why don't we be together?"

"I'll send Wanxiu back with you first, and then I'll send you back."

Du Miaoyan proposed.

The night was dark, and she was worried about Fang Yuan's safety.

"It's too much trouble."

"No one can hurt me in the Assassin's Mansion."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

also rejected Du Miaoyan's kindness.

Du Miaoyan did not insist and left with Princess Xiangcheng.

After the two left, Fang Yuan summoned Zhang San to arrange some things.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan left.

Fang Yuan didn't send it personally, but he prepared a lot of gifts.

A few more days have passed, and December has come to a late part.

Tang Dynasty officials had seven days of annual leave, which began on the first three days of the new year.

Fang Yuan needs to arrange duty and other matters before the holiday.

On December 20th, Fang Yuan held a plenary meeting.

"This year is the first year that the official and the chief history have taken office, so this year's annual leave the official and the chief history have to go home and can't stay on duty."

"Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Tian, Si Bing, Justice, and Si Shi are just seven people, and you are on duty for one day each of the seven days of annual leave, do you have any opinions?"

Fang Yuan said slowly.

His eyes swept to the presence of Qicao to join the army.

"The lower official has no opinion."

Qicao joined the army and expressed his opinions.

Normally, no field officer is required to remain on duty.

Several of them are all natives of Liaozhou, and they are arranged like this almost every year, so they have no opinions.

"During the absence of this official, if you can handle it, you will deal with it, and if you can't handle it, you will not deal with it, and we will talk about it when this official comes back."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Under normal circumstances, cases during the Chinese New Year will pile up and wait until after the annual leave to deal with them.

But there are a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year, and some of them can't be delayed, so they can only be dealt with at the time.

"Yes."

Seven Cao joined the army one after another.

"Zheng Jiu, Huang Dada, Zhao Erwa, and the state officials are on duty on the principle of voluntariness."

"Anyone who is willing to be on duty will be paid three times the monthly salary, but those who are vegetarian in the corpse will be severely punished if they are caught."

Fang Yuan looked at Zheng Jiu and the others and said.

Now the three hundred state officials are under the control of the three of them.

Ranked as the captain, although there is no official position, Fang Yuan gives them full status.

"Yes!"

Zheng Jiu and the three of them should be respectful.

Qicao joined the army, and several people suddenly showed envious eyes.

"The seven of you too."

"Notice: All those who are on duty on holidays in the future will be paid three times the monthly salary."

Fang Yuan noticed their expressions and said solemnly.

"Xie Zhouzun!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then thanked excitedly.

There was a strict system of deductions for the monthly salaries of the imperial court, but there was no reward system.

The reward is in the hands of the person in power, and the person in power feels that the person can be rewarded.

Therefore, Fang Yuan's reward was to take money out of his wallet, and everyone couldn't help but love Fang Yuan even more.

Fang Yuan nodded, and then looked at the representative of the commercial street in the north of the city.

As an important part of the commercial street in the north of the city, Fang Yuan also asked people to come for a meeting.

There are also the bosses of major commercial houses, who are in Liaozhou City, and those who are not here send the factory director over.

"Lai Yingzhe, your superior is sick, please be optimistic about the commercial street during your annual leave, and everything is in the interests of the people."

"Don't be afraid of things that can't be done, write it down and wait for the official to come back and deal with it."

Fang Yuan looked at the representative of the commercial street in the north of the city and said.

"Small, the villain will not disappoint the state!"

Lai Yingzhe was stunned for a moment, and then stood up excitedly.

He still remembered telling Fang Yuan's name in the shopping street.

At that time, Fang Yuan was full of brilliance, which made him admire from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that he didn't expect that Fang Yuan would still remember a little person like him.

"Do a good job, this official is optimistic about you."

"I believe that your future will not be limited to a small shopping street."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

The right hand pressed down slightly in his direction, motioning for him to sit down.

"Thank you, Governor!"

Lai Yingzhe was very excited.

At this moment, he felt valued.

The desire for power has also become unprecedented.

"Each factory also pays attention to the issue of vacations, and whether to adjust the monthly salary is an internal negotiation."

Fang Yuan looked at the trading house and Lu Xia's side.

They should also have their own internal management system, so Fang Yuan was not prepared to interfere excessively.

Next, the meeting continued to talk about the matters that need attention, and everyone also raised their own questions, and the meeting lasted for an hour before it ended.

In the end, everyone left, and Fang Yuan asked Zheng Jiu to stay.

"After the official leaves, some families in Liaozhou may be restless."

"If you can't handle it, go to the Fang Mansion to ask for someone, and this official will arrange a backup for you."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured."

"My subordinates must be optimistic about the return of Liaozhou and other adults."

Zheng Jiu responded in a deep voice.

He understood that Fang Yuan left him alone because he valued him.

Therefore, whether it is a liver and brain or a broken body, he will also take the state officials to protect Liaozhou.

"Very good, I am relieved to have your words."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Zheng Jiu left, and Fang Yuan slowly fell into thought.

After he leaves, those local families should be restless, right?

A few days later, Fang Yuan and Zhang San took a day off, loaded a cart of luggage and left Liaozhou City.
