The people of Yangping Prefecture are simple and simple, and suddenly they give people a sense of wealth, but with Xiao Xinrong's in-depth understanding, more and more problems have surfaced.

In case of a major drought or waterlogging in the fields, there are many people who sell their children and daughters, and now the farmers only have a very small number of their own fields, and the good lots have already been pawned to the rich families.

Several big businessmen in the state colluded with the government, monopolizing the business in the state, the rich people in the upper class lived a life of singing and singing night after night, and although the poor people did not go to the point of eating turf, there were not a few hungry people.

It seems that the illusion of the people's abundance is just the appearance made by the Zhou Governor and the people below, since it is his own people, Xiao Xinrong feels obliged to clean up these tumors.

When the second time Governor Zhou came to invite Xiao Xinrong to the banquet, Xiao Xinrong readily agreed.

After three rounds of wine, the guests are happy.

Zhou Zhifu was secretly happy in his heart, Prince Alcohol appreciated his face so much, maybe he would become his own person in the future.

Xiao Xinrong's purpose in coming today was just to take the opportunity of the banquet to let Zhang Hu and the others explore the study of Governor Zhou's mansion, and he suspected that Governor Zhou's mansion should have evidence of collusion between officials and businessmen.

With no strength from drinking, Xiao Xinrong entered the resting room, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard in the front yard, and Zhang Hu and Zhao Wei flashed and quietly left.

When Zhou Zhilan heard that her father was going to have a banquet for Prince Alcohol today, her heart suddenly jumped wildly, thinking about what she should do to attract the attention of the prince.

Here's your chance!

The maid who went to inquire about the news came back to report that the prince had gone to the guest room to rest, and Zhou Zhilan summoned the maid to bring the decanting soup and walked towards the guest room.

knocked on the door, but no one answered inside, Zhou Zhilan felt a chord in her heart, and stretched out her hand to push the door.

With a squeak, Xiao Xinrong opened his eyes violently and stared in the direction of the door.

Zhou Zhou Zhilan entered the room and saw Xiao Xinrong sitting at the table, because of drunkenness, Xiao Xinrong's face was very different from the last time.

Zhou Zhilan's heart jumped violently, put down the soup in his hand and said, "I heard that the prince drank too much, and my father specially ordered the little woman to send the soup for the prince. ”

Xiao Xinrong frowned unhappily, this Zhou family is too uneducated, a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet actually came to the strange man's room in the middle of the night, either carelessly or intentionally.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xinrong suddenly became alert, got up and said, "Since the soup has been delivered, Miss Zhou can retreat." ”

"Let the little woman wait for the prince to retire after she finishes using it. ”

"What's the matter, Miss Zhou can't understand the words of this king?" Xiao Xinrong's face was gloomy, and a cold momentum rose from the surroundings, Zhou Zhilan saw Xiao Xinrong like this, and her face suddenly turned pale.

The maid outside the door was frightened, and the young lady secretly ran to the room where the prince was resting, if the lady knew, maybe she would kill herself, and the little maid was looking forward to the young lady coming out quickly, but she was afraid that someone would arrive, and she was anxious.

Hearing Zhou Zhilan's call in the house, she was startled, and before she could push the door in, Zhou Zhilan came out of the room with red eyes and a face.

Xiao Xinrong's unceremonious eviction order embarrassed Zhou Zhilan, it was really hard to imagine how a prince who looked so noble would turn his face when he said it, and he couldn't compare to the princess in the mansion.

Zhou Zhilan didn't want to admit in her heart that Xiahou Shuang was much more beautiful than herself, but she just blindly wanted to be able to attract the attention of the prince.

Not long after the people left, Zhang Hu and the others turned around and reported in a low voice: "I found nothing." ”

It seems that this big fish is hidden deep enough!

"Go home!"

After Governor Zhou learned the news, Xiao Xinrong's master and servants had already left the mansion, and Governor Zhou was puzzled, he was fine at the banquet just now, why did he leave without even saying hello after resting?

Zhou Zhifu called the little maid near the guest room, and learned that the eldest lady had been to the prince's room, and Zhou Zhifu suddenly felt that his head was big.

Mrs. Zhou, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up by Governor Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou, who was sleepy, was scolded by Lord Zhou with a slap on her head and face, and she was so frightened that she was completely sleepy.

"You say this Lan'er...... This is impossible, right?" Mrs. Zhou was a little flustered: "Master, Lan'er has seen the prince before, why ......"

"It's all the good daughters you taught! It's really embarrassing my face!" Zhou Zhifu said sharply: "Bring me the maid next to Miss." ”

The little maid trembled and saw the angry old lady in the house, and before anyone could ask questions, she knelt on the ground with a thud and explained tonight's events clearly.

"Pull people down for me, and beat them to death! What do you want from such a minion? I don't know how to stop the young lady!" Zhou Zhifu pointed to the maid on the ground and said angrily.

"The master spares his life, the slave and maid can't persuade Miss Can't move...... Master...... Madame spare her life!" the maid's voice faded away.

Mrs. Zhou was shocked from the beginning, and after listening to the maid's words, it was indeed her daughter who took the initiative to go to the prince's room, and it is not necessarily a bad thing until now, thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou said: "Master, since Lan'er has this thought, it is better for us to fulfill this marriage, which is also a good thing." ”

"What do you mean?" Governor Zhou asked suspiciously, without turning around for a while.

"Master, it is said that there is only one princess by the side of the prince, you said that if our daughter becomes a side concubine......"

"You mean......" Zhou Zhifu suddenly realized, and couldn't stop nodding, this is a good idea, the prince's side concubine can also enter the emperor, if Lan'er can give birth to Lin'er in the future, even if it can't be hereditary, but it's not much worse.

"However, the prince has been married for so long, and he doesn't even have a concubine by his side, could it be that he has a deep relationship with the princess and doesn't want to accept other women?"

"Hmph, I really haven't seen a cat in this world that doesn't steal fish, since I have been married for a long time, even if the princess is a national beauty, but there is always a time when I get tired of looking at that face, our Zhilan is also a famous beauty, I don't believe it, can this alcohol prince push our Zhilan out?"

"Madame is reasonable, then Madame will take care of this matter. ”

The two of Zhou Zhifu made a good calculation, but they forgot that if Xiao Xinrong really coveted the beauty of Miss Zhou, how could he not take the opportunity to sit on the throne tonight, but left in a hurry with someone.

Zhou Zhilan was scared after the maid was called away, knowing that this matter could not be hidden, and when Mrs. Zhou came, Zhou Zhilan whispered with red eyes: "Mother." ”

"You kid, it's so bold to make your own decisions about such a big thing!"

"Mother, since the last time I saw Prince Alcohol, my heart has been full of his figure, and when I heard that my father was going to have a banquet for the prince in the mansion, I thought about going to see him, but I really didn't dare to think about anything else. Now, Zhou Zhilan has poured out everything in her heart regardless of her face.
