There are only a thousand people who benefit from the world. There are thousands of people in the world, but they are like cattle and horses, and they are willing to eat like food.

Ning Shuo sat in the kitchen and lit the fire, the flames in the stove burned more and more, reflecting on his face, making his eyes like torches, and the more burning he saw at a glance.

Fu Suibo squatted on one side and chose vegetables. Yu Xingzhi stood and chopped meat.

Today, the cook is not there, so the three of them cook together. It was getting dark, and the housekeeper came with a lamp and said, "Recently, candles have become more and more expensive, so let's save some money." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Suibo dared to light the lamp, blew out the lamp, and brought the food to the fire to choose, "I will wash it on fire." ”

The butler was very satisfied, and walked away with the lamp again. Ning Shuo laughed, "Mr.'s money has been used for disaster relief and relief of the people, and the family is very poor. When my brother comes back, let's bring some food. ”

Fu Suibo was pleasantly surprised, "Can I still come?" ”

Ning Shuo: "Why not?" ”

"Sir can save you because he loves your conduct. Ordinary people, he is also not saved. ”

He quipped, "Don't you have confidence in your character?" ”

That won't happen. Fu Suibo: "Since I became an official, I don't say that I love the people like children, but I have never exploited them at all, and I have tried my best to sit on one side and let them live and work in peace and contentment." Although I have also received money from several merchants, it is not much, and it does not hurt anyone. ”

Ning Shuo: "That's why Lord Wu's party will find my brother's head." ”

"They decided that the elder brother would not be annoyed by His Majesty."

The more Fu Suibo thought about it now, the more angry he became, and waved his hand, "My benefit is to let them practice it." ”

Wen Yan looked at Yu Xingzhi, who was chopping vegetables not far away, and said: "I have also heard of his reputation, saying that he is now a prodigal wreck, and he drinks all day long and does not want to make progress, but is it true?" ”

Ning Shuo: "It's true. He just walked too smoothly all the way, and he was sensitive and inferior, so he came to today's realm. If he had experienced what had happened to his brother, he would have known that he had only met 12 out of 10. ”

He also said: "Brother Shen will also come later, he is also a hard-working person, you should have heard of it." ”

Although the words were not finished, Fu Suibo knew what he meant, he wanted to say that if Yu Xingzhi experienced what happened to Shenchi, he would be going to commit suicide.

Yu Xingzhi, who was chopping vegetables: "......"

Not far away, he could hear it.

But he didn't say anything, but continued to chop vegetables. It's just that the sound of chopping vegetables is getting louder and louder. By the time Shen Chi came, the dish was ready.

It's simple. A scrambled egg, a pot of dumplings, a white tofu, a stir-fried meat, and a vegetarian dish.

The four of them, plus Buyuchuan, a total of five people, ate all the dishes. Shen Chi went to wash the dishes without cooking. Ning Shuo sat on the side, Fu Suibo also followed, and the three of them whispered.

Shen Chi looked left and right, and made sure that there was no Yu Xingzhi before saying, "Why is he still like this?" Haven't you untied the knot yet? ”

Ning Shuo shook his head, "I don't know, who will go." ”

Fu Suibo didn't speak, he only met Yu Xingzhi once today, and he didn't dare to comment on anything.

Just as he was about to say something else, he heard someone suddenly coming from behind, he was startled, turned around and saw that it was Yu Xingzhi.

"Ning Shuo, I have something to tell you."

Ning Shuo stood up and shook off the water stains on his hands, "Okay." ”

The two went to the side. Shin Chi sighed and continued to wash the dishes. Fu Suibo endured it and asked in a low voice: "Ah Shuo won't be in any danger, right?" ”

Shen Chi: "Don't worry, Yu Xingzhi can't talk about him." ”

On the other side, Yu Xingzhi was already talking about Buyuchuan.

"I know, you guys should have found something."

He was silent for a moment, then continued: "I can feel that the truth should be getting closer, but the closer you get to the truth, the more scared I become. ”

Ning Shuo knew what he was talking about.

He thought for a while and said, "Then do you think it still matters what the truth is when you find out so far?" ”

Yu Xingzhi didn't understand, he didn't understand. He frowned, "What do you mean." ”

Ning Shuo lowered his sleeves slowly, "With Boying's death, it is no longer as simple as whether he has been wronged or not. It's what His Majesty wants us to do after he promised us to investigate. ”

Yu Xingzhi: "What do you mean?" ”

Ning Shuo said regretfully: "If you lock yourself in this mansion and don't ask about the world, you really can't claim to be a disciple of Mr. It's stupid. ”

Yu Xingzhi did not refute this sentence. He thought about it deeply, and figured it out in an instant, "You mean, Your Majesty wants to use this matter to let Mr. rectify Jiangnan taxes?" ”

Ning Shuo bowed, "But where is it so easy." What Sui Boying didn't do back then, can Mr. be able to do it? There is a group of people following behind Boying, but what power does Mr. have? ”

Yu Xingzhi was shocked by his words, "The truth has not come out, how dare you conclude that Sui Boying is to rectify Jiangnan taxes?" The matter has never been heard of. ”

Ning Shuo laughed, "The matter has been investigated so far, where do you need evidence." ”

He had already seen his father's trace from Fu Suibo's body.

He looked into the distance: "I have investigated the Suijia case for so long, and I have a lot of understanding of Sui Boying." ”

"He was born in Jiangnan, like his brother, he is also a poor family, but he is quite talented, so he studied all the way, and was helped by the scholars in Jiangnan, and went to Yuzhou Academy to study, where he talked about the future with his classmates."

"Jiangnan is his hometown and his mentor. He adhered to the way of life of Jiangnan Shiren, became a person appreciated by His Majesty, became the prince and the prince, and reached the peak of his career. ”

The first half of my father's life should be as bright as the rising sun.

But in the second half of his life, he should have seen the land south of the Yangtze River that supported him, in fact, the wealth was in the hands of the literati and writers, and only the people suffered.

"We can see the problem of Jiangnan taxation now because it has already manifested itself. In these years, the treasury was empty, His Majesty refused to cut the salaries of the soldiers, the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River decreased, the land in the northwest increased, and there were more and more talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, and fewer and fewer talented people in the northwest...... If this continues, the entire Dayue will be overturned. ”

And these problems should have been seen by Sui Boying more than ten or twenty years ago. I watched him act in the back of the day, preparing for the tax rectification—"

Many of my father's strange actions can be explained.

For example, when my father suddenly broke off contact with Song Gelao, among the talents recruited by my father for the crown prince, the people in the northwest accounted for many places in the south of the Yangtze River, and so on.

At the time, he didn't understand it, but now that the shortcomings have appeared, he gradually understands.

He now really believes that it was not only the King of Jin who killed his father, but also the land south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor who couldn't control the situation...... and the prince who was stupid enough to curry favor with the land of Jiangnan.

Someone forced him to die, someone waited for him to die, so he had to die.

He closed his eyes, "Perhaps, Sui Boying quietly prepared a path of reform, but before it was implemented, he was already dead." ”

As soon as these words fell, he heard Yu Xingzhi say: "Sir, why are you here?" ”

Ning Shuo turned around, and Bu Yuchuan was standing in front of him, and said with a lonely look in his eyes: "You are right, he was forced to die." I'm also one of the real culprits. ”

Fu Suibo helped Buyuchuan, and for some reason, he suddenly felt the sadness on Sui Boying's body.

He muttered, "I can empathize, I too have been forced to die step by step. ”

If it weren't for Lord Buyuchuan saving him, there would really be no turning back.
