Chapter 290: Pretending

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid that there will be at least half an hour's journey to Henan to pick you up. A certain guard looked at the leisurely Mu Xiaoying and said, but the other party didn't care.

"That's not bad. Mu Xiaoying smiled and said something inexplicable, and then began to move again, skillfully brewing tea, but with the body trembling, the water in the cup spilled a little.

"It's a pity that the good big red robe, hey, slow me down in the car. Mu Xiaoying roared so much that everyone was startled.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, they are almost in time to walk now, what kind of slow method do they need.

The guard who "commanded" the car cried with a sad face, not knowing what he should do.

All the way slowly and leisurely, I finally walked to Henan, watching everyone still guarding the sun bitterly, and finally felt the psychological balance, and they were not the only ones who were injured.

Everyone was waiting for the eyes, and they almost gave up and prepared to withdraw, and finally when they arrived, Mu Xiaoying immediately stepped forward: "The ministers have seen the prince." ”

Mu Xiaoying Shi Ran got out of the car, smiling with a spring breeze on her face, without the fatigue of a long journey, and the hot sweat on everyone's embarrassed faces, which was obvious, but she didn't realize it, "Everyone, you have worked hard." ”

Everyone hurriedly said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, the prince has worked hard all the way, and the officials have prepared a banquet at the best inn in the city, the prince, please." He made a gesture of please.

"Why should the prefect be so polite, then the king is better to be respectful than to obey his fate. Mu Xiaoying was not embarrassed to walk in the front.

Everyone glanced at each other, half of the heart hanging in their hearts was lowered, everyone came to the inn, Mu Xiaoying sat in the first place, Shen Mao clapped his hands, and immediately there were masked dancers who danced the Persian dance.

"Lord Shen, what do you mean by this?" Mu Xiaoying said with a sudden cold face.

"The prince has worked hard all the way, just to relax and nothing. Shen Mao said with a smile.

"Oh, the emperor sent this king to deal with the floods, and this king came to see Henan but there was nothing wrong. ”

Shen Mao waved his hand, and the women immediately retreated, "The prince is wise, someone is coming." Immediately, several strong men carried into the boxes, and "opened" them, and they were all gold.

Mu Xiaoying frowned and looked at Shen Mao, "Lord Shen, what do you mean by this, is it because you want to bribe this king." ”

"The lower officials don't dare, this is just a little bit of the lower official's mind, and I hope the prince will smile. ”

Mu Xiaoying smiled and patted her head with a fan: "Lord Shen, this is really difficult for this king." Seeing Shen Mao's faces change, but the style of painting changed, "But if you don't accept it, it will be even more difficult for all the adults, not to mention that this king is also very excited." I heard goosebumps from the guards behind me.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, as long as Mu Xiaoying accepted their things, the rest of the things would be easy to do, and then there was a lot of talking, laughing, singing and dancing, Mu Xiaoying had become a full gentleman, looking at everyone's arrogance and lewdness, it was indeed a smile that did not reach the bottom of the eyes.

After the banquet was over, Mu Xiaoying also took the opportunity to live in the place arranged by Shen Mao, which was indeed a very good courtyard, so that he couldn't wait to split people in half, but all the silver allocated by the imperial court for the flood in a year went into the pockets of these moths.

"Lord Wang, this Henan prefect" A guard was interrupted by someone as soon as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Xia Guan has seen the prince. Shen Mao bowed.

Mu Xiaoying took a large number of people seriously, this Shen Mao was born with good clothes but didn't want to be a well-dressed beast, put away the disdain in his eyes and smiled, "What's the matter with Lord Shen?"

"The lower official came to report the flood to the prince. As he spoke, he said the form, but it was also a little different from the information collected by Mu Xiaoying, and Mu Xiaoying also pretended to listen carefully.

It is not uncommon for some local officials to enrich their own pockets, but they do not want to be in such a situation.

"It's not impossible for the lord to say, but what good is it for the king to do so. Mu Xiaoying looked at Shen Mao with a smile.

"Then what does the prince want?" Shen Mao said.

"My lord is happy, since this king has done it, he always wants something, and this king doesn't want much, how about seventy percent. Unexpectedly, when Shen Mao's face changed, he couldn't stand it.

"Cheng, just according to what the prince said. Shen Mao weighed it again and again.

"Your Excellency is refreshing. ”

"Don't dare, this is a woman specially selected for you by the lower officials, and the prince still likes it. With that, the woman behind her walked out.

The end is like coagulation, the weak willow supports the wind, and the two slender peach blossom eyes are full of style, which makes people can't help but want to hug people into their arms and love them well.

"Your Excellency really knows the king's heart. Mu Xiaoying smiled and accepted.

In the next few days, Mu Xiaoying was really just drunk and lying in the courtyard, and the beauty was pregnant, which made Shen Mao and the others feel relieved.

Mu Yunting looked at the letter from Mu Xiaoying, swept down all the things on the table, Xu Lianyi reached out and took it, and when she saw it, her brows were furrowed, but she still said: "Now is not the time to be angry, now we should consider how to settle the people is the most important thing." ”

"Then what good proposal do you have?" Mu Yunting frowned. Xu Lianyi smiled.

Mu Xiaoying looked at what was written in the letter and immediately asked people to start doing it, evacuating the people from the Yellow River, most of them have retreated under the pressure of official uniforms, but there are many villagers who have lived here for generations and are inevitably unwilling to cooperate.

"Lord Wang, this Shen Mao really deserves to be killed, he belongs to those villages and towns, this Shen Mao slowly increases some miscellaneous taxes year by year, except for the taxes that the people should pay, the rest are basically in his pocket, and on weekdays, he has become the emperor of Henan, suppressing the disaster victims. There was anger in his tone.

"Come here. Mu Xiaoying Fu whispered in the other party's ear, "Withdraw the people first, and then talk about it, and the rest of the things will go according to the original plan." ”

It wasn't until there was not the slightest sound around him that he stumbled out in a scarlet shirt.

"What you said is true?" Shen Mao looked at Fang Fang (the woman Shen Mao gave to Mu Xiaoying).

"The slave is not half a lie. The woman said in trepidation.

"My lord, what should we do now, or" said and made a motion to wipe his neck.

"Since the prince is unkind, we can only protect ourselves, after all, the mob will always do something hurtful, and if something happens to the prince, we can't do anything. Shen Mao didn't seem to mean to say.

Seeing the assassin on the ground, Mu Xiaoying touched the scar on his arm and was accidentally attacked for a while, he sneered in his heart, he couldn't wait.

After searching the assassin and finding nothing, he looked at Mu Xiaoying, "Lord Wang, there is nothing, what should we do now?"

Will be counted, throw down the close-fitting silk fan and "burn"

After finishing the business, Wu Peiling was lazy, lying on the table softly, reaching out and touching her forehead, and involuntarily thought of the kiss in her mind.

"Damn Mu Xiaoying, bastard, bastard. Wu Peiling scolded Mu Xiaoying over and over again with a few swear words, this is already the fourth day, why hasn't the letter arrived yet, is there something wrong, impossible.

Forget it, let's go to Sister Lianyi and ask. Wu Peiling thought.

Thinking like this, he accelerated his pace, "My subordinates have seen Niangniang." ”

"I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, how can Ling'er have time to come to my palace. Xu Lianyi laughed, and sure enough, when she saw the other party's red face, she didn't tear it down.

Every time Mu Xiaoying uploads a message to the emperor, she will also bring a letter to Ling'er, and sometimes she just brings some private messages with Ling'er, and they all pretend not to know, and the difficult Mu Xiaoying accepts the heart Ling'er is also a good girl.

"Minister, minister, Ling'er just had nothing to do today, so she came to accompany her sister, well, that's it. Wu Peiling unconsciously repeated.

Xu Lianyi chuckled and tapped Ling'er's forehead, and the two were not separated at all like ordinary sisters.

"Sister Lianyi, I, I want to ask, that's that, that, how is Mu Xiaoying now?" Wu Peiling asked writhingly.

Xu Lianyi looked at the capable and hearty girl on weekdays, and when she met love, she also became a little daughter, and she didn't dare to tease anymore, she shook her head lightly to answer, sighed in her heart, and frowned slightly, Xiao Ying didn't send the letter back, and she couldn't give her an answer.

Wu Peiling's eyes darkened, Xu Lianyi saw that the other party was a little unbearable, she was also a person who came over, so she naturally knew the bitterness of lovesickness, and she didn't receive the worry in her heart for a while, "Don't worry, the letter should arrive soon, Xiao Ying knows that the sense of proportion will not make us worry, you can rest assured." ”

The two of them took advantage of the scenery to take a break in the imperial garden again, and saw the eunuch who delivered the letter running over, "Look, Cao Cao Cao has arrived, you can rest assured this time." ”

Xu Lianyi opened the envelope, but her face changed suddenly, and the letter was immediately taken by Wu Peiling, Xu Lianyi stopped "don't look" but it was still too late, Wu Peiling had already fallen.

Before Wu Peiling fainted, she only saw Mu Xiaoying killed by the mob and her bones burned by the fire, so she couldn't think of anything else.

They had corresponded the other day, and she hadn't responded to him, and he didn't know that she liked him too, but only for a few days.

However, it was said that on the Henan side, since Mu Xiaoying "died", Shen Mao and others were even more arrogant and rampant, and most of the disaster relief money sent by the imperial court went into Shen Mao's private treasury, and even drove the people out of their hometowns, and the slightest resistance was a crit suppression, and the atmosphere became even more tense for a while.

Mu Xiaoying died, and those who were bought by them were also slaughtered, at this time, it was completely done by those mobs, even if the above blamed them, they were only punished for a crime of dereliction of duty, and once a person committed a crime, he died, and there was no proof that anyone knew that they did it.

*, Shen Maogao sat on the top and left and right beauties and accompanied each other very comfortably, and there was a charming woman in his arms, and when he looked closely, it was the fragrance of Shen Maosong and Mu Xiaoying before.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone also fought boldly, and one person walked out drunk, "It's still an adult, even if the saint is a monster, it has nothing to do with us, the so-called strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, but it's just a mere son, and he dares to play tricks with adults, look, he accidentally lost his life."
