The carriage, which was supposed to be far away, deviated from the track and headed for the city of Gongzhou.

Qiao Yuan was taken to the Zoling Mansion.

The little maid clinged to her uneasily, but she didn't lose too much

State.

Zhang Mao led Qiao Yuan to a residence: "The humble house is shabby, I am afraid that it will stain Mrs. Ning Guo's eyes." “

As he said this, he couldn't hide his smugness.

Zuo Ling can be said to be the second-in-command of a state, especially the oil and water he has fished for so many years, this Zuo Ling Mansion is faintly more magnificent than the Zhizhou Mansion.

Qiao Yuan nodded: "It's really shabby." “

Zhang Mao was stunned for a moment, and then saw the undisguised disgust on the beauty's face: "This bed is too small, the workmanship is rough, and our women in Beijing are proud of their feet not touching the ground, so they are replaced by a stepping bed." “

The Pull-out Bed is not just a bed, but a small living room with a wooden structure, where daily activities such as grooming can be carried out.

The bed cover is embedded in the room, almost taking up most of the room, and even some women can grow up in it from birth, and the soles of their shoes are not stained with a little dust, which can be seen from the complexity of the bed.

Naturally, the cost is expensive, and a stepping bed costs at least a thousand dollars.

"The furniture has all been replaced with ebony, and Mrs. Ben can't sleep when she smells anything else."

"The gauze curtain should be soft," Qiao Yuan suddenly stopped, glanced at Zhang Mao, and reluctantly changed his words, "If you really don't have it, you can change it to a similar material." “

She looked like she knew that Zhang Mao didn't have these things, and felt that she was aggrieved to sleep in such a place.

This is not over, Qiao Yuan thought of the few big stones on the side of the road that he saw when he entered the door just now.

Generally, this kind of big stone is specially bought by rich and noble families to embellish it to add a touch of wild interest.

Qiao Yuan held a delicate fan, and his slender fingers were more lusterly than the handle of the white jade fan: "Lord Zhang, didn't I say you, when your mansion was built, why didn't you spend a few more money to hire a feng shui gentleman?" “

The beauty covered her lips and stopped talking: "Those stones are facing the gate, and the popularity of people coming in from outside the door has been forcibly cut off from the middle, and in the long run, not to mention the official luck, the continuation of your mansion has become a problem." “

From furniture to furnishings to feng shui, Zhang Mao's proud mansion was criticized as useless, and even became a murderous mansion.

Zhang Mao's head was buzzing.

Seeing that his face was pale, the little maid subconsciously leaned sideways to block in front of his wife to prevent him from rushing over in a fit of anger.

Qiao Yuan was not afraid at all, and felt that Zhang Mao should be grateful to himself, according to her opinion, this mansion can become better, lest he don't know what is going on when he will cut off his children and grandchildren.

How many people in Beijing begged her for guidance, but she still didn't agree.

Therefore, Qiao Yuan beckoned impatiently: "Don't be stunned, let people change all the things in this room first, as for those stones, if you have any special habits, you can do it." “

The beautiful little mouth opened and closed, and the words that came out were very annoying.

Zhang Mao's face distorted for a moment.

Since the last meeting with the second prince, he finally got the traces of Zhenbei Hou, and also heard that Zhenbei Hou's wife was also with him, and he was still thinking about what to use as a breakthrough, but he didn't expect the people under him to send news that Zhenbei Hou's wife was going back to Beijing alone.

Zhang Mao didn't know how far Zhenbei Hou had found out now, and whether he had any evidence against him, but as long as Zhenbei Hou had any actions here, he would definitely not be able to get out of it, and he robbed the lone Mrs. Ning Guo to implicate Zhenbei Hou, and he really didn't dare to offend Qiao Yuan at this time.

Therefore, although he gritted his teeth inside, he still had to squeeze out a smiling face on his face: "Thank you Madame for your guidance, I will send someone to do it." “

Qiao Yuan was finally reluctantly satisfied, and gave him a look.

The beauty in front of her is wearing a green brocade dress, bright eyes and bright teeth, thin neck and fragrant shoulders, even if she has a disgusted expression at the moment, she looks amazing.

Rao is Zhang Mao was so angry that he was dripping blood, and he couldn't help but be in a trance for such a beauty.

I don't know what kind of person can hold such a beauty.

……

Qi Cun, who watched the carriage go away, stood stiffly at the door for an unknown amount of time, and the sun was shining on his face before he finally came back to his senses and walked back to the house.

There was nothing missing, but it looked empty and unbearably deserted.

Qi Cun sat under the window, this is the seat where Qiao Yuan often sits, and it seems that there is still a unique fragrance of beauty.

In the past, Qiao Yuan liked to sit here, his upper body was soft and boneless, his soft black hair fell on the table like water, and when he heard him coming back, he lazily lifted his eyelids to take a look, and his eyes were like Sayuri in the mist.

At this time, the man couldn't help but run over in three steps and two steps, kissing her on the center of the eyebrow, causing her a blow of shame.

The room was full of Qiao Yuan's shadow.

Qi Cun stood up in a trance, took his things and walked to the field.

In fact, the results of this trip have been fruitful enough, and a big tumor that has taken root in Gongzhou for many years has been dug up.

Zhang Mao relied on the high sky and the emperor was far away, secretly taking advantage of his position, and for many years he had been doing tricks and feet in Gongzhou's tax revenue, and he was full of oil without knowing it.

He fished a little at a time, and he would not have been discovered, but he didn't expect that this time because of natural disasters, Gongzhou's treasury had to be opened to the outside world, and the daily expenditure was like running water, and it seemed that it was going to be stretched.

If someone detects that something is wrong and stabs the emperor, Zhang Mao will not be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head, he can only fill in the public account before being discovered, so he secretly colludes with the Minister of Disaster Relief, you take one percent, he draws one percent, and covers each other.

I didn't expect everyone to come and smoke Yicheng, and the white rice turned into sand and gravel, but it completely broke the matter.

Just wait for Qi Cun to put the evidence on the table, and the corruption case can be closed.

But he still felt suspicious.

Zhang Mao, how could he have the courage to think about taxes, and he has been secretly embezzling for so many years without being discovered?

Unless a powerful person is on his side, or worse, that person gets a piece of the pie.

That person should be far away in Shangjing, controlled from afar, and his status should not be low, even a group of people close to the center of power.

A small Gongzhou has attracted so many tigers and wolves.

Qi Cun's eyes are bottomless, and Da Ji was hollowed out from the roots by such people.

The atmosphere in the tent was dreary.

Li Wei, who was at the bottom, looked at his nose and nose and did not dare to raise his head.

Hou Ye was majestic and calm, and he handled this matter with a calm face that was enough to turn the entire Daji Imperial Court upside down, but a strange thought gradually rose in Li Wei's heart.

Hou Ye looks like this, how can the more he looks at it, the more he looks like that kind of daughter-in-law ran away, but he was so cowardly that he didn't dare to chase after him, so he could only use official duties to paralyze his husband.

Qi Cun raised his eyes keenly: "What else?" “

Li Wei: "......"

This wind and grass looks more like it.

The two were discussing when someone outside the tent suddenly asked to see them.

Qi Cun's subordinates are highly disciplined, and this kind of interruption generally does not occur.

Unless there is an emergency.

It was a person Li Wei had never seen before. He was puzzled, but saw that Hou Ye's face changed.

This is the secret guard behind Qiao Yuan's carriage arranged by Qi Cun to secretly follow, and at this time he should have gone to the next post station, but he turned back.

Something happened to Qiao Yuan.
