Chapter 148: The people who bullied me are dead
After sending off Grandpa An, the room was quiet, and the two little girls no longer had the intention of being angry with Ming Xiu, looking at the Shang Fang sword and secret decree placed casually on the table, they realized that the county lord's trip was more dangerous than they imagined.
The decree has been given, and there is no reason to take back the ordination.
Chun Xia wiped her tears silently, the worry on her face was even stronger, but she was still very sensible and didn't cause trouble to her master, biting her lip tightly and not saying a word.
"Okay, don't cry, when have I ever been bullied by your county lord." Xiao Wenjun looked at the girl who looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, and comforted her mischievously.
"County Lord, have you forgotten that in the palace of Lanling in the past, didn't the third lady and the second lady often bully you?" There are droplets of water hanging on Qiu Dong's eyelashes, and he flattens his mouth.
"You also know that it was before, and the people who bullied me are dead!" Xiao Wenjun is serious.
Spring/Summer: "......"
Autumn/Winter: "......"
Ming Xiu only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and he shivered unconsciously in the big summer.
Finally "coaxed" them, Xiao Wenjun turned his head and said to Wang Jiuyuan: "I have made a holy decree today, and I have a new idea. ”
"I'll listen to you." Wang Jiuyuan doted.
"Before I could say what it was, you agreed?" Xiao Wenjun also smiled, as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes, and said slyly: "The trick is enough, tomorrow the four of us will leave in front of everyone." ”
"It's up to you!" Wang Jiuyuan looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of her head.
Xiao Wenjun's face was full of depression, and he didn't know when he connived at him to develop this problem. She positioned herself as a heroic female general, and being touched like a cat made her a little "heroic short-breathed".
……
The next morning, the sky was still gray, and it was rare that there was no rain.
Xiao Wenjun took He Hong, Wang Jiuyuan took Ming Xiu, and a group of four people appeared on the most prosperous street.
Xu felt that it was too embarrassing, the county lord of Lanling, who had always loved to ride horses, sat in the carriage for the first time today, and it was still a very ordinary, dust-looking carriage, if he didn't recognize the coachman as Ming Xiu of Yuxiu Mansion, I was afraid that this eye blessing would be missed.
The news that Xiao Wenjun was driven out of Kyoto by His Majesty has long been spread throughout the city, and many people are waiting for this day, either to see jokes, or to see off them sincerely, and of course there will be people who harbor evil intentions.
Sun Zheng was hidden in the crowd, he had not received the order to remove Wang Jiuyuan, and guessed that their trip would not be easy.
Lu Jingyi took advantage of the lax precautions in the palace these days, sneaked out, disguised herself and mixed in the crowd, and witnessed Xiao Wenjun and others leaving.
To everyone's surprise, the four princesses have been outside the palace these days, and they specially saw off Xiao Wenjun. Since she was reminded by Xiao Wenjun last time, she actually claimed to be her best friend, and her relationship with Yu Wenyao was much weaker.
"The people and industries you stay in Kyoto, this princess will cover, and you can return to Lanling with peace of mind." The fourth princess stared at the carriage and muttered.
Ming Xiu, who was driving the car, was stared at quite uncomfortably by everyone's hot gaze, as if his body had been burned out of countless small holes, and his body was poked up and down like chaff.
It was a different story in the carriage.
He Hong, who was completely unconscious of being a light bulb, was full of excitement about going on an adventure in his eyes, and he didn't feel that there were two people beside him.
Wang Jiuyuan was also very excited, he was happy that he could finally get along with his sweetheart day and night. Since coming to Kyoto, the two of them have spent very little time together, and he has never worried about the dangers on the road to disaster relief, but he is grateful for having such an opportunity to go out of Beijing.
Xiao Wenjun is the calmest one, closing his eyes and recuperating, recalling the hidden forces behind this disaster, as well as the twists and turns in it.
This time he went to Jiangnan, He Hong took away half of the guards of the county lord's mansion, as well as most of the manpower of the Shadow Pavilion, at a critical juncture, it is not impossible to assassinate the imperial court officials, the master holds the sword of Shang Fang, and has the power to cut first and then play.
The masters in the Shadow Pavilion are like clouds, and each of them has unique skills, and Yu Wenyao also relied on them very much in his previous life. With them with them this time, it will definitely go a lot smoother.
……
Feng Shui takes turns, and half of the power of the household department is now in the hands of Yu Wenyao. Because of his relationship with the Lu family's in-laws, Lu Jingyi's third brother found an official position in the household department, and coincidentally, Wenyuanfang was under his jurisdiction.
Lu Jingyi came out this time and directly found the third brother Lu Zhongxian, and told him that he had set up a game as early as the end of last year, and he could close the net as soon as Xiao Wenjun left.
"Third brother, now there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and I can not only get the appreciation of Prince Duan, go further in my position, but also get a lot of silver." Lu Jingyi doesn't talk nonsense, and gets straight to the point.
"Oh? And such a good thing, the side concubine didn't deceive me, right? Lu Zhongxian's face was full of suspicion, and his tone was a little wary, he had lived for decades, and he had never heard of such a pie-in-the-sky thing.
"Concubine Ben and the third brother are a family, how can they harm their own people?" Lu Jingyi secretly scolded Lu Zhongxian in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and continued: "This concubine and the third brother have always been more friendly, otherwise why is it not the eldest brother and the second brother who are sitting in this position, but the third brother?" ”
This sentence contains the meaning of revenge, reminding Lu Zhongxian how he got his position under the ass, and don't be ungrateful.
"The side concubine misunderstood, the official didn't mean that." Lu Zhongxian's face was a little bad, but he still asked patiently: "I don't know what the concubine is looking for this official today, what is she going to say?" ”
"Does the jurisdiction of the third brother include Xiao Wenjun's estate?"
Seeing Lu Zhongxian frowning and thinking, Lu Jingyi then reminded: "That street in Wenyuanfang ......"
"That's true, but what does that have to do with what you're going to say today?"
Lu Zhongxian then remembered that when he took over the household department, he had a very deep impression of Wenyuanfang, and the monthly tax collected was more than 40% of the total amount of Anmenwai Street, which showed that the huge profits and earning power are rare in the industry.
"Now that Xiao Wenjun has left Kyoto, the people under her are all women, and it is a good time to find their bad luck at this time."
"Besides, at the end of last year, on the night when Wenyuanfang closed the account, I ordered someone to go to the store to buy dozens of different small objects.
"When the time comes, in the name of the government, I will take down all these shops, and then sell them to Prince Duan's Mansion at a low price. Isn't the third brother beautiful! ”
Lu Jingyi completely forgot Yu Wenyao's order: she was not allowed to attack Xiao Wenjun privately. Jealousy made her take risks and lose her mind!
Hearing this, Lu Zhongxian forgot about the unhappiness just now, and a chrysanthemum suddenly appeared on his face, "After the matter is completed, my sister can say a few more kind words for my brother in front of the prince." ”
He has not only heard of the methods that Lu Jingyi said, but also personally implemented them, and he has tried them repeatedly. With this law, many merchants obediently paid fines, and even suspended business for rectification. However, it is not serious, and the government has the final say.
Just now, he called himself "the official" and called the other party "side concubine", but now the relationship has been instantly closer, and he is commensurate with brother and sister.
"That's nature." Lu Jingyi didn't seem to notice his change, so she responded in one bite.
"Then the silver money I just talked about ......," Lu Zhongxian cheekily continued to ask.
"Thirty thousand taels of silver, how?" Lu Jingyi opened her mouth and came.
Lu Zhongxian was satisfied, he worked hard, the monthly salary was only twenty-six stones, converted into silver, less than a thousand taels of silver in a year, and thirty thousand taels of silver was more than his thirty years of money!
And Lu Jingyi thinks more beautifully, once it is done, she will have enough chips to let Yu Wenyao correct herself and become the princess of Duan, and she will be able to suppress Xiao Wenjun in terms of grade!
Between people, whether they are related by blood or in-laws, the relationship between them is the most reliable, and the two siblings each have their own interests.
