"Brother Yang......"

"Haha, joking, joking. How are your siblings doing?"

"Neiko is pregnant, everything is fine, thank you Brother Yang for your concern. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, Xiaolou, you have to work a lot to build more pillars for Dasui." ”

"Uh...... By the way, can Brother Yang give me the records, files, and account books of the Ministry of Civil Affairs over the years? Well, I want all the information from the Renshou period. ”

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs files say that there are tens of thousands, all of them?"

"Well, you need to see it for three or five days, and you won't go to the court during this period. ”

"Well, tomorrow I will have someone send the dossier. If you have any other needs, you can tell Yuko. ”

"That's very good. ”

"Xizi, it's inconvenient for me to leave the palace, and all contact matters will be handed over to you. Remember, Mo Xiaolou's order is like a holy decree, you need to fully obey it, understand? ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"In that case, we're just waiting for the big drama to begin. ”

Mo Xiaolou nodded, raised his wine glass,

"Ping-"

The two cups collided, making a crisp sound, announcing the official opening of this chess game.

......

The next day, Yang Guang sent his henchmen to send the information that Mo Xiaolou needed, and there were as many as two carriages, large and small.

In the court, the emperor gave an order, and the construction of the Tower of Babel began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

At the same time, from some hidden strongholds in the city, a secret letter was sent out, containing the news that Yang Guang had suspended the attack and rebuilt the Tower of Babel.

The leaders of the heroes up and down the Yangtze River, the black and white roads, the gate lord clan, and even the desert grassland all received secret letters from different belongings, and for a while, the rivers and lakes were filled with a strange atmosphere.

......

Inside the house, Mo Xiaolou opened the bow left and right, not so much to read a book, but to turn a book, ten lines at a glance are slow, he is looking left and right at the same time, fifty lines at a glance!

"Uh, Brother Yuwen, did you ask Your Majesty to send so many materials, just flip through them casually?" Xiyan asked as she threw a fruit into her mouth and chewed it.

Mo Xiaolou was too lazy to take care of her, but Shang Xiufang ate a few candied fruits and helped Mo Xiaolou explain.

"My father-in-law doesn't just look through it, he always reads like this. Just glance at it, and you're all here. ”

Finally, she pointed to her head.

Xiyan shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." Even if he has the ability to never forget, it is impossible to remember it without seeing it clearly, right? I guess Brother Yuwen simply didn't want to go to court, so he made an excuse in front of the saint...... Well, this apple-flavored is delicious. ”

"Yes, leave me some ......" Shang Xiufang's eyes were quick, grabbed the last piece of candied fruit, and said after eating: "But what you said is not right, it is impossible for my father-in-law to make such an excuse in order not to go to court, he will never do meaningless things." ”

"Huh?" While the two of them were talking while eating candied fruit, Mo Xiaolou suddenly whispered with some confusion.

"What's wrong, father-in-law. ”

"Just now I looked through the income and expenditure records of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the past two years and found an interesting thing. Mo Xiaolou said with a smile on his face: "It seems that the Dugu Valve, who has the best relationship with the imperial court, is not so clean behind it. ”

Xiyan was stunned and said, "Are you really watching?"

Mo Xiaolou said angrily: "Do you want me to take a look at the account books of Man Qingyuan in the past few years and see if there are two mistakes in it?"

Xiyan's expression changed slightly, and he said with a dry smile: "Heh, Brother Yuwen is so busy, you don't have to worry about these little things." By the way, listening to what you just said, there is a problem with the Dugu family, do you want to report it to Your Majesty?"

Mo Xiaolou shook his head and said, "There is no big problem, it's just a little greedy." But...... Treat the emperor as a fool, should we find an opportunity to knock them out?"

Xi Yan was about to speak, when suddenly a thought moved in his heart, and he thought of an extremely interesting thing, and his tone suddenly became weird: "Well, it's okay to knock and knock." Hee ......" In the end, there was a bit of schadenfreude in the words.

Mo Xiaolou glanced at her calmly, and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, do you have a grudge against any guy from the Dugu family." ”

Xiyan nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Mmmm, yes, yes." Brother Tuo, you have to help me out of this evil breath. ”

As smart as Shang Xiufang, when she saw Xiyan's expression, she knew that it was not good, so she put her arms around her neck and pulled her back, while saying to Mo Xiaolou: "Father-in-law, don't listen to this nonsense, what she thinks in her heart must be no good thing." ”

"Yo, baby Xiufang is going to rebel, see if I don't tickle you......"

"Giggle...... No...... Don't, it's so itchy......"

"Ha, let's see if you dare to slander me in the future. ”

"I didn't have ...... Cluck...... Look at my return to the Nine Heavens Tickle Divine Skill—"

"Ahh

Mo Xiaolou helplessly held his forehead, and silently thought in his heart: Hey, woman......

By the time the two girls were crazy and tired, Mo Xiaolou had already seen the records of the Renshou years.

Shang Xiu was drenched in sweat, gasping for breath and taking several sips of tea, the wet gauze tightly wrapped around the graceful body, which was extremely tempting.

If her suitors saw this scene, she would probably be so excited that she couldn't sleep for ten days and ten nights.

Mo Xiaolou caught a glimpse of this scene and blamed him dotingly: "Crazy girl." ”

Putting down the account book, his right hand was slightly raised, and a wave of true qi fluctuated from his hand to Shang Xiufang's body, and after a warm feeling, the clothes on her body were already dry and comfortable.

"Thank you, Father-in-law. Shang Xiufang smiled so much that her eyes were bent into crescents.

Seeing this scene, Xiyan said enviously: "It's amazing...... Brother Yuwen, can you help others get it too?" she deliberately said ambiguously, full of temptation and hints.

Mo Xiaolou pursed his lips and said, "Don't you know ninjutsu? A smoke bomb went down, and the whole outfit was changed, and you still need my help?"

"You-nasty guy-baka!"

......

Mo Xiaolou said that it was three or five days, but in fact, he read all the information in one day and one night. What follows is nothing more than based on these materials, intelligence, and data...... Organize and summarize, find out the problem, and draw conclusions.

It's a moonlit night again.

"Xiyan, tonight, you need to help me deliver a letter to Dugu's house. ”

Xiyan was stunned for a moment, took the letter and said, "Is there really a problem with the Dugu family?

Mo Xiaolou said speechlessly: "This is not a ghost drawing, it is a function." Hey, don't worry about it, go and deliver the letter. ”

"Oh, got it......"

After Xiyan left, Shang Xiufang came out of nowhere, hugged Mo Xiaolou's arm and said, "My father-in-law made an excuse to take her away, do you need Xiufang to do anything?"

Mo Xiaolou touched her head:

"Well, you don't have to do anything. If you're interested, you can get involved, and if you're not, study your music. In short, it's good that you're happy. ”

"Hmm...... I hope to help my father-in-law. ”

Mo Xiaolou smiled, "Oh, it seems that the little girl has finally grown up." ”

Shang Xiufang's eyes fluttered, and she sighed softly: "After coming out of Lingnan, I can't grow up if I want to." Father, did you find any useful information from those sources?"

"Really. Mo Xiaolou looked back at her, "I have probably browsed those things, compared with the period of Emperor Wen, the various data of the entire Great Sui, such as the yield per mu, the purchasing power of money, taxes, officials, etc., have not changed much, and even some have risen steadily...... In other words, today's chaos can be said with certainty: there are indeed people behind the scenes. ”

Shang Xiufang's beautiful eyes frowned, and she said with anger: "These villains, for their own ambitions, completely ignore the lives and deaths of ordinary people!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her hand, and something soft touched the back of her hand.

It turned out that under the bright moonlight, Mo Xiaolou's slender fingers pinched a delicate lily, which was so beautiful that it made people tremble.

Shang Xiufang's eyes flashed with surprise, and she took the flowers and said, "Father-in-law, it's only March, where did you pick the lilies~"

"Do you like it?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Mo Xiaolou smiled and walked out.

"Father-in-law, do you still want to go out so late?"

"The moonlight is good tonight, let's go for a walk in Luohe with my father. ”

"Hee-hee, Hoo-le. ”
