Chapter 201: Horse Thieves (Second Watch)
Yuan Ziyan's bright eyes also flashed with a smile, looked at Lu Xia and them a few times, and secretly shook his head and sighed.
If you want to do beautiful things, is it not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years?
Dead eunuchs won't give them this chance at all!
Looking at the expression of the dead eunuch, I am afraid that the root of the problem has been found, are those owners all rice bucket waste?
But think about it, those eunuchs can't be grandmasters, even grandmasters can't be grandmasters of the Great Light Realm, and their sense of heaven and earth is naturally far inferior to him.
However, those field owners may not have invited the Great Light Realm Grandmaster, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is powerful and can invite the Great Light Realm Grandmaster.
In short, this dead eunuch still has something unique.
"Owner, can you find the reason?" Lu Xia's heart was empty, feeling that his previous words had been heard.
Li Chengkong said lightly: "Well, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is lacking, and if there is such a change, it is necessary to set up a spirit gathering array." ”
"Spirit Gathering Array?" Lu Xia was stunned.
He hadn't heard of that yet.
Li Chengkong said: "A formation, you go and get white jade now, mutton fat white jade, as tall and big as you, Jiuzun." ”
"Nine White Jade ......" Lu Xia's face was bitter: "Owner, I'm afraid it's ......"
Li Chengkong's eyes widened, and he snorted: "This white jade is valuable outside, but for the inner mansion, it is not that valuable, right?"
The inner government has an inner field that is responsible for mining jade mines, and the jade they purchase is not worth much money at all.
It's just that after layer by layer, the value is getting higher and higher, and by the time it is sold, it is already dozens or even hundreds of times the price.
"This ......," Lu Xia smiled bitterly.
The jade in the inner factory is indeed not so expensive, and you can take jade from the inner factory, which is to take a big favor.
Li Chengkong waved his hand: "As soon as possible!"
“...... Yes!" Lu Xia sighed.
Let's see how long he can be rampant, if the production is reduced by then, it is not enough for the four battalions of war horses, and then this owner will come to an end.
You don't have to make it bad at all.
Li Chengkong said lightly: "If the jade is not qualified, then I want you to ask, so don't make small moves!"
"It's nature. Lu Xia nodded hurriedly.
Now is not the time to play tricks, let's see if he can increase production, if he can increase production, he can also benefit.
If it goes on like this, it will be impossible for him to escape the responsibility of the crime, and he will be demoted from the pasture.
Even small gestures can't be used in this matter, and there are many opportunities for this master to stumble.
Li Chengkong said: "Let's go, go to my place." ”
"The owner comes with me. Lu Xia walked back with him, and came to a continuous building, and arrived in front of the largest house: "This is the owner's house, which was built by the first generation of owners, and has lived here for generations. ”
Yuan Ziyan stepped forward and pushed the door.
Li Chengkong stepped into the gate, the grass and trees were deep, and the flowers were around, and at a glance, he knew that it was a place of ancient times.
When you step into the gate, you will feel quiet, as if you are sitting in the deep mountains and old forests.
"How, owner?" Lu Xia followed them to the hall, and then turned the garden and lake behind them.
There is a lake dedicated to the back garden, and this lake is connected to the lake outside.
Looking down from the sky, it looks like two rings, one large and one small, are connected.
Standing in the small pavilion of the lake in the back garden, you can see two groups of horses bowing their heads and drinking water by the lake in the distance.
"Not bad, not bad. Li Chengkong nodded with satisfaction: "Very nice mansion!"
He sighed to himself.
This first generation of owners will really enjoy it, sitting in such a mansion, although it is not as big as Princess Qingming's mansion, the scenery is not inferior to the princess's mansion.
"That's good. Lu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Chengkong said: "Sit down." ”
They sat in a kiosk on the lake.
A fresh breeze came slowly, carrying the water vapor on the lake, and the smell of grass by the lake was like a spring breeze.
Yuan Ziyan began to make tea.
Nine guards stood outside the pavilion, standing as if they were nine wooden stakes, motionless.
Li Chengkong stared at the lake in the distance, looked at the herd of horses several miles away, and asked lightly: "In addition to this, what other reasons are there for the owners to resign?"
Lu Xia shook his head secretly.
Does this Li Daoyuan have to be guided by a master?
Then he should know the reasons for the resignation of those owners.
Lu Xia coughed lightly: "There are also lost horses, there is a group of horse thieves, elusive, and it is impossible to prevent it!"
"How?"
"Those lost horses are silent, no one knows how to lose them, and there are people around who are staring, but they just don't know how to lose them, for which more than a dozen people have been fined, all with the same result. ”
"That's kind of interesting. Li Chengkong was thoughtful.
God steals the horse unknowingly, it is not the negligence of the guards, but the clever means, such a big horse, and it will not work lightly, how can it be silent?
And under the noses of the guards, it is even more bizarre.
"All the owners tried their best, or to find a master, or to defend heavily, but they couldn't stop the loss of the horse. Lu Xia shook his head: "The most annoying thing is that I don't know how to lose it!"
Li Chengkong said: "How many horses have you lost?"
"Thirty-two!" Lu Xia said, "These horses are all miraculous, and the loss is appalling!"
Li Chengkong looked Lu Gorge up and down.
Lu Xia hurriedly said: "Field master, I can swear to God that I am absolutely innocent, and there will be no internal and external collusion." ”
Li Chengkong groaned: "Didn't you fence it up?"
"The grassland is so big, it's impossible to fence it off. ”
"Let the herd narrow down. ”
"The pasture is for the war horses to eat at will, and they will never be restrained where they go, otherwise it will cause the war horses to get sick, which is a more serious sin than losing the horses. ”
"This is a horse, an ancestor!"
"Hehe......" Lu Xia couldn't help but smile and nodded: "The farmer's words are to the point, the horses in our pasture are all ancestors!"
Li Chengkong nodded: "Okay, I'll try to find this horse thief,...... Aside from this, what else caused the owner to resign?"
"Well...... , and Huangzhuang anti-rent. Lu Xia said helplessly: "We have a total of eight imperial farms in our racecourse, and every year we collect rent, we have to meet resistance, and we can't collect rent." ”
"Is there anyone in the back?" Li Cheng said emptyly.
The grassland belongs to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and it is prestigious in the inner house, and ordinary people do not have the courage to go against the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
"This ......," Lu Xia hesitated.
Li Chengkong said: "Guess who?"
“...... I'm afraid it's the Nine Emperors. Lu Xia said helplessly.
Li Chengkong snorted: "Got it, when will the rent be collected?"
He didn't fully believe Lu Xia's words, Lu Xia was soft, one was a smiling tiger, and he would pit himself at any time.
There should be the Nine Emperors, but it's not just the Nine Emperors, so it's hard to say, and you have to investigate yourself.
His mind had already begun to enter the void in Song Yunxuan's mind.
"Twice a year, once in the summer and once in late autumn, this year's rent has been collected and has not been collected. ”
"Then forget it, it's the responsibility of the previous owner, it's none of my business. ”
"Yes, yes. Lu Xia nodded hurriedly.
"There you go. Li Chengkong waved his hand: "Get the jade as soon as possible!"
"Yes. Lu Xia agreed, got up and took his leave.
Yuan Ziyan came in with tea at this time.
She looked at Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong said: "Lu Zhangji will drink tea next time, hurry up!"
Lu Xia secretly scolded stinginess in his heart, and didn't give a cup of tea.
The nine guards originally wanted to follow out, but they were stopped by Lu Xia's eyes, and he left the field master's mansion alone.
