At the end of the banquet, Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile secretly: This result is exactly what I want!

Wu Zhongru was really calm, and he kept holding back and didn't talk about what he was thinking about. It wasn't until Guo Gang packed up his bags and sent King Han out of the house that Wu Zhongru came to Xiao Yunhe's side, bowed his waist and whispered: "Dare to invite Lord Han to move to the cold house for a while, I don't know if King Han can appreciate his face?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly, and said smoothly: "Lord Wu invited, do you dare to accompany you? Lord Wu has sponsored the king's huge military resources before, and he has not thanked him." Today, the king just wants to go to the adult's house for a walk, and wants to come to the door to thank you. ”

"In this way, thank you for your humble position. Wu Zhongru bowed with some joy. The two looked at each other, and each knew it by heart.

Xiao Yunhe said to Gao Gu and the others behind him: "You go back to the house first, remember to arrange a place for Guo Gongzi." This king went to the house of Lord Wu to sit down. ”

Gao Gu and Shi Yanfen agreed, took Guo Gang and a few soldiers with him, and rode back to the house first. Xiao Yunhe was invited by Wu Zhongru into a carriage that had already been prepared and walked towards the Wu family's mansion.

Xiao Yunhe sat on the carriage and thought to himself: It seems that the Guo family also wants to take the initiative to have a relationship with me...... This is indeed good news. With the prestige and influence of the Guo family in Daqi, if they can help me as much as possible, it will only be of great benefit. Not to mention that Wu Zhongru has strong financial resources, Guo, Guo Nuan and others have an extraordinary network among the emperor's relatives and relatives, just by virtue of their appeal among the celebrities. For me, it's just a big benefit. At present, what is most lacking in my Han Palace's Mansion is prestige and appeal. Now that I have made some achievements, I have brought down traitors such as Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming, and I have Guo Shizhang, Yan Shizhang, and Li Mian to help, I believe it will not be long before I become famous. At that time, the people of the Han Dynasty Mansion were longing, and the Wufu people came to gather one after another...... Isn't this quite similar to the Qin Palace?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe felt a little more relieved. To know. "Xiao Yunhe" was a very bad boy before, and he worked hard with his life, and finally made a big change in the eyes of others in the shortest possible time, which has to be said to be a miraculous achievement. If you marry Wu Zhongru again, it will naturally be more beneficial...... Now this is the time. I can't do much more. As long as the daughter of his Wu family is not disabled, mentally retarded, ugly, or tigress, and marries her on a donkey down the slope, he may not suffer much loss!

Not long after, the Wu family arrived. The Wu family's mansion is as expected to be extremely luxurious. Resplendent. From Xiao Yunhe's point of view, it can be regarded as very exquisite and brilliant.

Wu Zhongru personally led Xiao Yunhe into the main hall of his compound. You can see it. The carpet on the feet should be a famous brocade from Shuzhong, the low table of mahogany lacquer, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are not ordinary. What's more distinctive is that a stunningly beautiful beauty dressed in cool and sexy clothes is holding an iron plate with legs, slowly grilling on the stove next to her. On the iron plate, there are four tea cakes of different colors, and a faint vapor and fragrance are emanating.

Wu Zhongru said very affectionately: "My lord. This is a famous tea artist invited from Shu by spending a lot of money, and the kung fu of making tea is not ordinary. Adults, please choose which piece of tea cake to use to make tea. ”

Xiao Yunhe glanced at himself a few times, smiled slightly and said: "The blue stream and bright moon in Xiazhou, the dew buds in Fuzhou. Yangxian in Changzhou, Gu Zhu Zizhu in Huzhou, and Lord Wu's house. Sure enough, all the good stuff was used. Each of these four teas has its own merits. It's just that, in terms of the current season and the taste and touch of our food after the banquet, it is most pleasant to drink the blue stream and bright moon now. ”

Wu Zhongru suddenly exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful! Unexpectedly, the adult is still a tea art expert! Not only did he recognize these four rare place names in the world at a glance, but he also picked out the most suitable category in one sentence." It's an eye-opener!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "It's just a small skill of carving insects." But I was thinking in my heart: Coincidentally, these four famous teas on today are all one or two hundred years old, otherwise it is really difficult for me to say whether I recognize them or not. These famous teas may be rare for some people, but for me Xiao Yunhe, they are commonplace!

That Mei Ji also selected one of the tea cakes according to the words, slowly roasted them for a long time, and then grinded them carefully with a purple sand bowl, and there were some cumbersome processes behind. Fortunately, I didn't wait to drink this tea to quench my thirst, otherwise it would be really difficult to wait like this.

Across a curtain, the sound of a light and elegant piano sounded at this time, and a pile of fine sandalwood was burned in the room, which was indeed a very relaxing and leisurely enjoyment. Soon after, the tea was also served, and Xiao Yunhe took a sip, it was indeed fragrant and pleasant to the heart and spleen, and it was extraordinary.

Wu Zhongru has been quietly observing his face, and now it seems that King Han's mood should be good, so he said: "Humble and presumptuous, there is something that I am willing to ask the adult, I don't know if the adult can tolerate the humble position?"

"Lord Wu doesn't have to be polite, if you have something to say, please say it. Xiao Yunhe knew that now he was finally going to get to the point. Wu Zhongru is really bearable.

Wu Zhongru said with a humble expression: "There is a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet, and she is good at dancing "Green Waist". I want to invite her to come out and present a dance for the adults, I wonder if the adults can enjoy it?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "This...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?

"The adult is not an outsider, but a great benefactor of the little girl's uncle's family. Wu Zhongru said again and again, "There is nothing out of place to offer a dance." I'm just afraid...... Adults think that the little girl is ugly and ugly, and refuses to appreciate it. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Lord Wu, don't say such things...... In this case, this king has the privilege of witnessing a wonderful dance of Ling Ai today. ”

"Thank you, sir. Wu Zhongru slapped his hands happily, and the private room next door suddenly changed the music, and the pipa and pipa were played, which was a typical soft dance "Green Waist" dance music.

Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly in his heart: Wu Zhongru, you are quite well prepared!

At this time, a tall and graceful woman, dressed in a long-sleeved waist green shirt and pink skirt, had already floated into the hall like a fairy. First, he bowed to Xiao Yunhe, and whispered like a milk swallow: "The people's girl is ugly." ”

Xiao Yunhe looked at the woman, her skin was like porcelain, and she did not have the bloated and sluggish style of ordinary eunuch rich women, and her body was flexible and light. In the clear sound of dance music, she flew lightly like stepping on the snow. The long sleeved robe is like a rain and a glow, and the wonderful figure is more like a colorful phoenix, which is pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Yunhe has seen so many good dancers, and he can't help but cheer up now. Wu Zhongru smiled on the side, looking very satisfied. Miss Wu not only dances beautifully, but also has a seamless expression. Although she wore a thin veil on her face repeatedly, her smart eyes were flying and expressive, allowing her whole person to blend into the dance and music.

It can be seen that Miss Wu's attainments and talent in music and dance are extraordinary. And there is one thing that can be regarded as putting Xiao Yunhe at ease. The young lady of the Wu family in front of her, although she has not been able to see it completely clearly, can basically be determined...... It's a rare beauty!

Xiao Yunhe tasted the tea while admiring the wonderful dancing of Miss Wu Family, and secretly said to himself: After accepting Guo Gang, he successfully got closer to the Guo family...... Is this a good thing?

"Green Waist" is one of the most famous soft dances in Daqi. The long-sleeved flying and graceful waist can best reflect the supple beauty of a woman, and at the same time, the requirements for the dancer's body shape and posture are relatively high. Miss Wu's figure is obviously the most suitable. Her waist and limbs are as weak and boneless, but they are graceful and tactful, and she dances this song "Green Waist" to the extreme.

At the end of the song, Miss Wu took a step forward like a flying immortal, and landed in front of Xiao Yunhe like a flying cloud falling to the ground, and fell down humbly with her hands folded on her sleeves.

It's really a smooth flow!

Xiao Yunhe slapped his slap and admired: "Good dance, wonderful dance!"

Miss Wu lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you for your appreciation." ”

Wu Zhongru said with a smile on the side: "The little female carving insect has a small skill, I am fortunate to be able to enter the eyes of the adult, I am really happy to be lowly - Lin'er, go and change your clothes to serve tea for the adult." ”

Miss Wu glanced up at Xiao Yunhe slightly, and immediately lowered her head in shame, and slowly stepped back: "Yes......"

Xiao Yunhe looked at this woman with a delicate figure and good manners, and he also felt a little happy in his heart. Famous ladies with good singing and dancing are not so common. Later, we will be able to see her true face......

Wu Zhongru was watching his face on the side, and then seized the opportunity to say: "My lord, the little girl's name is Yuelin, and she is seventeen years old this year. In fact, she should have married a woman a long time ago. It's just a little girl...... has always been above the top, and her humble position and wife also doted on her tightly, so she had to shirk it again and again to many people who came to propose marriage. The little girl once said that she must meet three conditions before she can marry: first, she must be of the same age, second, she is beautiful and has real talents, and third, and the most difficult point, she must be a famous young hero. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly in his heart: You are specially tailored for me with three criteria, right?

Wu Zhongru continued to smile and said, "This is also the will of heaven...... The Lord of Han is a dragon and a phoenix celestial person. is also the same age as the little girl, and is a world-famous young hero. Humble duty, low position......"

Xiao Yunhe looked at Wu Zhongru, smiled hehehe, and didn't speak. At this time, Wu Yuelin also changed into an elegant skirt and walked out, and Wu Zhongru had no choice but to stop what she said.

Wu Yuelin walked to Xiao Yunhe's side, and bowed: "The people's daughter greets Lord Han." Chitose, Chitose. ”

"No courtesy. Xiao Yunhe spit out the word lightly and looked up. Wu Yuelin, who has removed the veil, is really stunning. A round and flawless goose egg face, thin eyebrows like a crescent moon, and apricot eyes with double hong. Delicate nose. The cherry has a small mouth, and the temperament is even more restrained and demure, without the high-flying and proud look of everyone's ladies.

Wu Zhongru wasted no time in saying, "Lin'er shouldn't hurry up and bring tea to adults." "Yes......" Wu Yuelin responded softly, knelt down beside Xiao Yunhe, picked up a cup of new tea and handed it to Xiao Yunhe. "Your Excellency, please use tea. ”

Xiao Yunhe glanced at her with a smile, took the tea and took a sip. said: "Miss Wu doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." ”

"Yes, yes!" Wu Zhongru's face like a dough cake had already turned into a ball of smiles, "just sit next to the adults and serve carefully." ”

"Yes...... Wu Yuelin bowed her head in response, then sat down with Xiao Yunhe on the side of a low table, put the small copper kettle containing tea in her hand, ready to add tea to Xiao Yunhe at any time.

This woman who is as docile as a lamb. A burst of clear fragrance came, making Xiao Yunhe feel very comfortable. She is not the kind of hypocritical woman who likes to wear heavy makeup and a thick fat powder, and there is a natural and clear body fragrance on her body, just like a clear lotus after the rain, which makes people feel refreshed. Originally, Xiao Yunhe was still a little worried. With such a prominent family background as the Wu family, it is difficult to say what kind of arrogance the baby daughter will become. Now it seems. Wu Yuelin not only does not have the pampered and arrogant nature of a rich woman, but also speaks and behaves generously and decently, and her personality is gentle and gentle.

Where do you find such a woman?

In Xiao Yunhe's heart, he also secretly made up his mind......

The two sat at the banquet and chatted for a while, and Xiao Yunhe also said some words of thanks to Wu Zhongru, which could be regarded as a thank you for the 100,000 yuan of military funds he had sponsored before. Wu Yuelin has been quietly waiting beside her, lightly and skillfully adding tea for Xiao Yunhe and her father.

After drinking most of the brewed tea, Wu Zhongru waved his hand lightly and motioned for Wu Yuelin to retreat. Xiao Yunhe also watched Wu Yuelin leave very cooperatively, which could be regarded as showing his attitude to Wu Zhongru.

When the matter came to this, Wu Zhongru finally had a bottom in his heart, bowed to Xiao Yunhe, and said, "Lord Hanwang, I thought the little girl was ...... How?"

Xiao Yunhe raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

Wu Zhongru's face suddenly showed joy, but he was really calm, and he didn't get carried away, and continued to say humbly: "Then Lord Han, do you have the idea of continuing the string right now?"

When Xiao Yunhe heard this, he was happy in his heart: It seems that he Wu Zhongru should have known about my refusal to marry the emperor before...... The reasons I said to the old man at that time were high-sounding, if I refused to soften myself, who could use force?

Xiao Yunhe thought for a moment, and then smiled: "This...... After all, it is a private matter of this king, and it is really not good to say too much in front of Lord Wu. Now that the national capital has been recovered, Guanzhong has temporarily calmed down, and major events can be regarded as stable. Merely...... The bones of those concubines in this king's land are not cold, and they continue at this time, I am afraid that they will be cold in the spirit of the sky, and they will also cause some criticism. ”

"This ......," Wu Zhongru smiled, "The lord's belief in loyalty and filial piety is really admirable." However, a man without a wife is like a sapling without skin, how can he grow strong? What's more, now that adults still have no children under their knees, Prince Zhaojing is in the spirit of heaven, and I am afraid that there will be some blame for the adults. There is a mention of lowly duties, I wonder if adults are willing to listen to it?"

When Xiao Yunhe heard him mention Prince Zhaojing, he laughed in his heart: Good guy, brought out Xiao Yunhe's ancestor to suppress me?

"Lord Wu, please speak. ”

Wu Zhongru said with a smile: "As an emperor, how can the King of Han have no children under his knees and no bloodline inheritance? You can first set up one or two family affairs, and then make some water and land dojos for the dead concubines of adults, one to cross, and the other to explain their hardships. I believe that the dead concubines of adults are also reasonable people, so they will not blame adults for anything. In this way, everyone has nothing to say, except that the adult is an amorous and good man who follows the etiquette and takes care of the old kindness. ”

"Decide to marry first?" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but smile. "It seems that it is indeed a good way to do it. It's just that...... For no reason, where is this king going to be hired?"

When it came to this, Wu Zhongru naturally beat the snake and immediately picked it up: "If the adult doesn't dislike the little girl Yuelin's ugly appearance, I am willing to let her sweep the room for the adult." Added as a concubine. ”

"This ......" Xiao Yunhe had to reciprocate with an embarrassed laugh, and hurriedly said, "This king died and his wife and concubine just to continue the string, how can he be wronged Ling Ai?"

Wu Zhongru couldn't do his best at this time to dispel the last trace of reserve of King Han. hurriedly said: "Although the little girl is in the boudoir, she admires and admires the adult's fame like thunder. Now that I have seen the adults with my own eyes, I know it clearly as a father. She already has a secret promise to adults. The little girl is weak, but she is stubborn. If she marries anyone other than an adult, she will die. As long as the adults allow her to be by her side, whether she is a wife or a concubine, she will have no complaints!"

"That's it......" Xiao Yunhe was still laughing slightly in embarrassment, and said secretly in his heart: Then do I have any reason to refuse?

Wu Zhongru saw that the heat was almost over, and immediately said: "The matter of marriage, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders. Humble officials will never dare to mess with the etiquette law. His Majesty the Emperor is over there...... The lowly is willing to salivate over this old face to ask for a decree of marriage, and as for the matchmaker...... My lord, look, how about the Taidou Yan Shizhang and Old Lady Yan, who everyone looks up to today?"

Xiao Yunhe stopped pretending to be hypocritical at this time, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case...... There is Lord Lao Wu to arrange it. It's just that I don't know, Ling Aike was really willing, and this king doesn't want to do things that are difficult for a strong man. You father, don't make decisions for your daughter!"

Wu Zhongru was already overjoyed. He bowed his hand again and again: "Don't worry, my lord! If it weren't for her will, the old couple would have no way to do anything about her. Since she dared to mention it to the adults, she could definitely guarantee that she was willing......"

"Then ......," Xiao Yunhe smiled, "It's all up to Lord Wu." This king, thank you in advance. After that, he also bowed to Wu Zhongru.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Wu Zhongru was already full of red light, his eyes were smiling, and he still said very humbly, "As for the date of engagement and consummation, it is all up to the adults to choose personally." The adult is busy with all kinds of affairs, and he is a person who abides by etiquette and discipline, which he does not dare to assert without permission. After you go back, please pick a good day and come back to make detailed arrangements for other matters. ”

"Okay. Xiao Yunhe stood up, "Then today, this king will leave first, and there are indeed some important things to do." Lu Sheng is still waiting for me to investigate at home. ”

"Humble duty to send off the adult......" Wu Zhongru's heart was already happy, and he followed Xiao Yunhe with a short body, and sent him out of the house all the way, and then sent him to the car.

On a show pavilion in the inner courtyard of Wu Mansion, the window edge was half-spread, and Wu Yuelin caressed her hot cheeks while watching the car of Han Wangdi move slowly. A little maid behind her said happily, "Miss...... I didn't expect King Han to be so majestic and handsome, and he is really worthy of Miss!"

"What nonsense. Wu Yuelin glared at the little maid with a slight frown, "He is the prince of Daqi, who is very valuable...... How can you say that he is not worthy of me. ”

"That's ...... Miss and King Han are a good match!" the little maid grinned.

"you!" Wu Yuelin half-hid her face in shame, and her eyes were full of spring.

On the way home, Xiao Yunhe let out a long breath, and his hanging heart was put down. Before, he still planned to get into an in-law relationship with the Wu family. Unexpectedly, Wu Yuelin, the young lady of the Wu family, is still a rare elegant beauty.

My Fair Lady, how are you gentlemen...... Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly, and his mood became better. As for when to get married and get married, you still have to decide by yourself. Until then, I have more room to maneuver. This time, I successfully got into a relationship with the Guo family, and I was about to become a family, which is indeed a rare good thing.

When I returned to the mansion, it was almost evening, and I happened to meet Ju Wenzhen who came back with the mansion staff. Xiao Yunhe asked him, "How are things going?"

Ju Wenzhen took a long breath and replied: "The villain hired nearly a hundred cars and hired two or three hundred porters, which can be regarded as returning all the tribute grain and rice collected before according to the adult's wishes. It will take a few days for the winter clothes to be purchased, and several silk and satin houses are rushing to make them day and night. Merely...... This grain is also very difficult to harvest. A few days ago, there was still a place to buy rice for sixty or seventy dollars. Today, it costs 80 yuan to fight rice, and it is rare to buy grain from several grain numbers in the West and East markets. ”

"Eighty yuan for rice?" Xiao Yunhe was stunned, "Why is it so expensive?" "If it is a year of great abundance, the rice in this place in the Guannai will be at most thirteen or four yuan, like the Huaixi Jiangnan area, where rice is produced, and even only sell three or four yuan a bucket. Nowadays, the price of grain in the national capital has actually risen to 80 wen per bucket!

Although the prices in the national capital have always been a bit expensive, this is tantamount to sky-high prices! When he was still in Huayuan before, Xiao Yunhe had predicted that Guanzhong would inevitably have expensive grain, but he did not expect that it would not be long before the price of grain in the national capital soared to such a situation. It seems that the loss of Bianzhou and the obstruction of shipping have really made Guanzhong's grain very tight. It's just that the imperial court has built many granaries in Guanzhong to store grain, and the national grain stocks in the national capitals Taicang, Huacang and other places can also alleviate the temporary grain shortage and support it for a year and a half...... What did those people from Taicang do?

Xiao Yunhe secretly pondered these things in his heart and walked into the Han Palace. I accidentally saw a back figure and was turning around and walking towards the West Wing. Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but be a little stunned in his heart: Little Queen, why did you avoid me when she saw me coming today?......

Early the next morning, the Han Wang's mansion was lively. Ju Wenzhen took the courtyard of the house to buy grain, and Xiao Yunhe also called Song Liangchen and Gao Gu and others together. The iron-blooded thirteen, plus Shi Yanfen and Guo Gang, fifteen people were all dressed up, and followed the king of Han wearing a gorgeous purple deer dragon robe, and went to Lu Sheng's house in a mighty way.

In Lu Sheng's house, there was already an imperial city surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army like an iron bucket, and no one dared to enter or leave. Xiao Yunhe led people in, and saw that dozens of cars had been set up in the garden, and they were preparing to load Lusheng's household materials.

Lu Sheng's family was hiding in an ear room, and they didn't even dare to come out. Lu Sheng himself greeted Xiao Yunhe with a look of dismalia and knelt aside.

Xiao Yunhe looked at Lu Sheng, who was usually arrogant and powerful, and now he had become like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Lu, don't blame me." This king was also ordered by the emperor to act. ”

Lu Sheng didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Xiao Yunhe, and said in an urn: "How dare the grass people blame the adults...... The mountains and rivers take turns, and the grass people have fallen into today's situation, but they can't complain about others. ”

"Yo, it's rare that Lord Lu still has such an awareness, it's not bad. Xiao Yunhe said jokingly, "Today, this king has been ordered to seal up the Lu Mansion, and I hope you can cooperate closely." If you have a good attitude, this king may be able to let your family leave the national capital smoothly and go to Lingnan together. If you're still trying to get away with it, then I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with anything. You must know that according to the law, you can only take your wife and concubine and be exiled together, and everyone else will be punished and confiscated from the court, or confiscated into the army or enslaved. ”

Lu Sheng hated itchy, but he was helpless, so he had to swallow his anger and said, "The grass people must cooperate closely with the adults to seal it...... Over the years, the grass people have received private money and private goods. It's all here. The bills and vouchers in some cabinets were also taken out, and they were all in the box in the main hall. Please check it out. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Yunhe nodded with satisfaction, let people carry the box out, and opened it in public to look through it. After looking at it for a while, Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, Lord Lu, you are a real person who doesn't show your face! It doesn't seem to be much worse than that of the national treasury? Just the amount of money deposited in the cabinet is close to one million. Tsk, most of this is taken out of the national tax, right? It seems that the emperor only ordered you to be belittled, and it really cheapened you!"

Lu Sheng stood limp and trembled. Don't dare to talk.

Xiao Yunhe raised his hand: "Gao Gu, take someone to the house to search, don't leave any corner behind." ”

"Yes!" Gao Gu and the others, with one or two hundred royal forest soldiers, searched in the Lu Mansion. Xiao Yunhe knew it very well. With Lu Sheng's cunning temperament, there is no reason not to hide something.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. Gao Gu and the others found out a few people, who were Lu Sheng's wives and concubines. Gao Gu said: "My lord, although these people have no jewelry and property on their bodies, almost all of them have hidden the certificates of the cabinet deposits. What was found on these people alone was more than 30,000 taels of gold!"

"Lu Sheng, you old traitor!" Xiao Yunhe shouted loudly, "Even now, you still want to steal and play tricks." Don't you think that this king is really a vegetarian? If you anger me, you will be killed right now, and you will be left alone to go to Lingnan to work as a coolie!"

"Ahh Spare my life! You just give me a way to live! When you get to that place in Lingnan, you can just pay back the poor mountains and bad waters. The grass people's family went all the way through, and they didn't even have a piece of entanglement, so they didn't have to beg to go? What's more, when they arrived in Lingnan, they had to buy a house, and it would cost some money......

"Bold,!" Xiao Yunhe said angrily, "Are you exiled, not to play, and still need 100,000 taels of gold to entangle and spend?" Lu Sheng, this king warned you for the last time to hand over all the things that should be confiscated, and explain all the things that should be confessed. Otherwise...... At your own risk!"

"Hey-" Lu Sheng's deflated ball sighed and said weakly, "That's it, that's it...... You guys, hand over all your things, and you can still save your life. It's just that I'm stupid and stupid for a while, and I actually misbelieved...... Traitor!"

Song Liangchen was furious when he heard this, and he pulled it over with a big ear scraper: "Old horseman, nonsense, I'll whip you to death!"

Lu Sheng was suddenly knocked to the ground and dizzy for a while, and he still shouted in his mouth: "The grass people didn't say anything!"

Xiao Yunhe sneered: "Don't pretend in front of this king." Gao Gu and Song Liangchen searched all the things on these people's bodies, and didn't leave them even hairpins. These are all the people's fat and people's ointment that Lu Sheng scavenged, and they can't be brought to Lingnan again. Lu Sheng, you come in for me, this king wants to ask you a few questions. If you answer well, I may be able to reward you with a few pieces of money, so that your family can go to Lingnan safely. If you still want to play tricks, then don't blame this king for being ruthless!"

Lu Sheng looked at Xiao Yunhe with his eyelids as if his whole body had been drained, and followed Xiao Yunhe into the house dejectedly. Gao Gu and the others shouted loudly to collect things. It didn't take long for dozens of cars to be piled up, and it seemed that the jewelry, jade, and antiques could not be moved for a while.

Xiao Yunhe called Lu Sheng into the room, took the detailed list of lists given to him by Li Mian in his hand, and said to him: "Lu Sheng, about your matter, the evidence and information in my hand are very sufficient. I will ask you now, what kind of tricks and collusion these people I am talking about with you, and what bad things they have done together before, you can make it clear to this king one by one. This is also your last chance to survive, I hope you take it yourself. ”

"Yes, yes......" Lu Sheng was already drenched in cold sweat, so he had to answer in a hurry. He didn't expect that King Han would hold so much evidence in his hands. I knew that I would have been obediently bound and confessed, and I didn't have to be so frightened and afraid that I would be beaten and humiliated.

Xiao Yunhe asked them one by one according to the names on the list. Lu Sheng was also much more honest, and made all the connections between him and these people clear. Shi Yanfen and Guo Gang made detailed notes on the side.

Two hours later. Shi Yanfen and Guo Gang worked hard to write a book, and they actually wrote a thick stack of each other, but it was only the end. Xiao Yunhe took it and looked at it, and said: "Lu Sheng, according to what you said, in the imperial city of this national capital, Xu Wansong, the imperial historian, Zhang Ting, the middle scholar, Tao Cheng, the secretary of the military department, Wang Zuorong, the master craftsman of the general, and others. Is it the closest relationship with you? More than 30 prefectures, assassins, and long histories outside the capital are also extremely close to you?"

"Yes......" Lu Sheng only thought that he could get a way to live, where could he care about who he betrayed.

"Good. Xiao Yunhe smiled coldly, "Sign the confession." ”

Lu Sheng signed tremblingly, pressed his handprint, and stood aside in silence. Xiao Yunhe looked at the transcript. I thought to myself: these big moths, it's time to eradicate them one by one and replace them with my people. If it is a magistrate who has made a small mistake, I might as well give them a grace and a mercy to bring them to my command. Lusheng, I want to thank you. Before he died, he dragged so many people into the water, and he finished with you, and paved a few avenues for me.

This time. The Lu family was also almost raided. In addition to some rockery stone lions and bed door panels, everything that can be moved has been moved. Gao Gu is a delicate person, and he sealed some conspicuous and sensitive things to the car, and some things that he might have forgotten about even Lu Sheng himself, but he accepted them by himself. When raiding the house, this kind of thing was almost inevitable, and even the emperor acquiesced. Otherwise, there would be no such errand as a house. Cheng Mei sent to take care of some of the people that the emperor intended to reward. This kind of thing, there is no need for Xiao Yunhe to speak out, Gao Gu naturally does it seamlessly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Yunhe walked into the courtyard and said to Lu Sheng's family, "Originally." According to the law of Great Qi, Lu Sheng's family is going to be beheaded all over the house. But the emperor's majesty remembers the kindness of the ancestors of the Lu family. The net is open, and Rao Er will not die. Today, you will move your family to Lingnan, and there will naturally be the Royal Forest Army to escort you. Lu Sheng, don't blame this king for being kind, give you a hundred pieces of money, and treat it as a coil. ”

Lu Sheng took the bag of copper coins with a wry smile on his face, and he really wanted to cry loudly. 100 Dollars ...... In the past, it may have been the price of a meal for a family!

"The Imperial Observatory will send officials to escort you. Xiao Yunhe said to Lu Sheng, "Lu Sheng, take care all the way, this king won't have time to see you off." Gao Gu, put on the car, and we went into the palace and handed it over to the treasury. ”

Xiao Yunhe brought the people and horses to the ground step by step, escorting the car towards the imperial city. Several officials from the Imperial Officials Platform took the Imperial Forest Army armor soldiers, escorted Lu Sheng's family into the car, and headed towards Lingnan, thousands of miles away. Lu Sheng's family all cried bitterly, but the people along the way crowded the streets, pointing at them loudly and scolding, and some even smashed the vegetable leaves and soil, making them embarrassed.

Xiao Yunhe rode on a horse, led the convoy behind him, and swaggered towards the imperial city. Gao Gu patted his horse lightly and walked up, and whispered to Xiao Yunhe: "My lord, then Lu Sheng Mansion is really rich, and it is really richer than the treasury!"

Xiao Yunhe glanced at him and smiled secretly: "Just say it, how many benefits are you secretly hiding?"

Gao Gu is usually silent, but when he gets things done, he is the most heartwarming for Xiao Yunhe. He smiled at this time and said, "It's nothing particularly conspicuous." A few golden Buddhas, a few antique jade artifacts from the Western Regions and former barbarians, and some famous calligraphy and paintings. Lu Sheng hid them in an inconspicuous place, afraid that he would forget about them. What makes the humble job amazed is that there are still the true works of the Wang family's father and son!"

"Yo ho, I didn't expect you to be a martial artist, and you are quite knowledgeable!" Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "The real works of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, this is a priceless thing! Well, I like this thing, so I'll show it later." ”

"Yes. Gogoul chuckled.

After entering the imperial city, Xiao Yunhe asked Gao Gu and others to escort the car to the inner garden prison and hand over the confiscated things to the treasury, but he went to see the emperor. Finally got the truth out of Lu Sheng, caught a few huge greedy evils, and it was time to eradicate them. At the same time, isn't the vacancy just right for the people in his palace to squeeze in? Although the number of people in the Han Palace's mansion is still sparse at the moment, Yan Shizhang, Li Mian, and Guo Gang are always qualified for some positions, and the emperor should not have any doubts.

The palace is also very lively, the prince and the people of the East Palace are purging the inner garden prison, and the palace officials, eunuchs, and palace maids are panicking, so it is not lively. Xiao Yunhe didn't bother to take care of these things that had nothing to do with him, and went straight into the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace.

After the fall of Huo Xianming, the eunuchs in the imperial study of Hanyuan Hall were replaced by two people, one was Dou Wenchang, who was in his thirties, and the other was Wang Xiqian, who was in his forties. These two people are mediocre-looking, and it is difficult for people to find them when they walk in the crowd, and there is nothing eye-catching before. It is said that they were all the old man's close attendants when he was the prince in the past. Huo Xianming fell, and the two of them soared together and were promoted to the imperial study to serve by the emperor's side.

The old man also happened to be in the study, and when he heard that the king of Han asked to see him, he immediately announced that he would see him.

After Xiao Yunhe entered, he was just about to give an explanation of today's investigation of Lu Sheng, but he didn't want the old man to be a little anxious and said first: "Yunhe, you came just in time." I have some things that I feel a little bored and want to talk to someone about them. ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yunhe asked.

"That's right. The old man said, "The day after tomorrow, the three-way army of Li Huaiguang, Hun and Li Sheng will set off." Three roads of people, a total of 60,000 or 70,000 people, to be equipped with grain and grass is not a small amount. But now the imperial court has not much grain in stock. Just now, someone from Taicang came to report, saying that the grain in Taicang and Huacang added up to only 100,000 stones, which was almost enough for Li Huaiguang and others to take away. But when they ran out of food, what did the people in the palace and those Imperial Guards eat?"

Xiao Yunhe frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Taicang and Huacang, the national grain storage centers in the national capital, the minimum grain storage on weekdays is required to be more than 300,000 stones, and now it is the autumn harvest, why is there so little grain?"
