Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Chapter 170 Cannon Fodder in the Empress’s Story (4)

Her words did not regard him as respect for the prince at all, but only ambiguity and complaints about the couple's love. Xiao Yansui, who had maintained the prince's respect just now, didn't know what to say?

He felt uncomfortable. He originally wanted to find someone to vent to, but who knew he would end up like this now?

Seeing his troubled expression, Shen Huan asked proactively: "Didn't you go to that prefect's house? What happened to you?"

Xiao Yansui hesitated and didn't want to say anything.

In his heart, the woman in the dream has always been sacred. He cannot connect or compare her with a brothel woman. That would be an insult to her.

"Are you going to tell me?" Shen Huan used to threaten: "If you don't tell me, you will sleep on the sofa tonight... go outside."

He had heard similar words to this in his dream.

The man asked him not to eat snacks in the bedroom, but he didn't listen. He brought a bunch of snacks and placed them on the bed. He ordered his troops to select what he wanted to eat, and then he was threatened by the other party to sleep on the sofa.

"What happened?"

Xiao Yan thought of the name on the deed of sale and asked, "Aren't you Xia Hehuan? Are you?"

Shen Huan was confused for a moment, but after a moment she remembered that the name belonged to the original owner of this body. She said, "Yes and no, this body belongs to her, but not to me."

Xiao Yansui didn't quite understand.

"Borrowing a corpse to bring back a soul, do you understand?"

Xiao Yansui: "..."

He was frightened.

Shen Huan saw his frightened expression, which was actually a little cute, and said: "If you have some scattered memories, you should know that we are not completely from this world. You were born here and grew up here, so you have your own body. I am not. So I don’t, if I want to come to you, I can only borrow someone else’s body.”

Since there is more than one world, they should not be lonely ghosts.

Xiao Yansui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Shen Huan seemed to have discovered a new world: "Why didn't I discover it before?"

Xiao Yansui: "...I don't remember." Those scattered memories were very vague. He had dreamed about it several times, and he couldn't remember many of the close interactions.

"Forget it." Shen Huan waved her hand: "Are you sulking just because of this? Do you think if I were that brothel girl, would that place still exist?"

If she hadn't met Xiao Yansui when she crossed over, anyone else would have been killed by her.

Xiao Yan thought for a while, the person in the dream was very domineering, and the person in front of him didn't look like someone who could take offense.

"Qin Song is the prefect of Shu. He gave me your deed of betrayal and said he was giving you to me."

Shen Huan: "...then what?"

"I gave him the jade token and asked him to get the money."

"Where's the deed of betrayal?"

Xiao Yansui: "Tear it apart."

Shen Huan couldn't help laughing: "So you are angry? Why should you take that kind of person to your heart? To me, he is just a piece of waste paper. My name is not Xia Hehuan."

Xiao Yansui immediately asked: "Then what is your name?"

Shen Huan became a little more serious: "Shen Huan, sink, be happy."

Xiao Yan then noticed that she looked wrong and said: "Shen Huan, the joy is not over yet, I have been chanting to this day, it sounds very good."

He was trying to make up for it. When Shen Huan heard these two lines of poetry, he thought of another line.

"When the mountains and seas are in their prime, they return to their homeland, and we rejoice together in the morning and evening, life and death."

God's Domain Star, listen to Tiansi.

The Si family had left four prophecies for her, the first three were all fulfilled one by one, and the last one, time was running out.

"Does it sound good?"

Xiao Yan nodded guiltily. The name sounded nice, but he really didn't know the meaning of it.

Shen Huan put the matter behind him: "It's not important, it's just the name. I gave him my identity outside, not to mention the name."

Xiao Yansui didn't understand the joke.

"Aren't you busy investigating corruption?"

She said and pushed the person. Xiao Yan's chassis was very stable. He didn't fall, but was slightly injured: "Why don't I come to accompany you? Why are you pushing me away?"

"I think I slept well, but you disturbed my dream." Shen Huan said: "Who told you to lose control last night? Look how many good pieces of skin I have on my body now? I still want to sleep, so go to work quickly. "

She had raised him all his life in the last world, and she had always been the one doing the work. Although she didn't do much, now that there was a chance, Shen Huan wanted to give him back.

"I don't do anything in this world. You have to raise me well, just like I raised you in the last world. Do you hear me?"

Xiao Yansui finally laughed and said in a teasing tone: "I heard it, and I allow you to have snacks on the bed instead of sleeping on the sofa."

Shen Huan: "..."

"go away."

Xiao Yansui happily rolled away.

The guard standing at the door obviously heard the conversation between the two. The brothel woman dared to tell their prince to go away, which was simply rebellious.

When they were all thinking that his prince would be furious and wondering how to punish the pampered and arrogant woman, Xiao Yansui walked out with a smile on his face.

"Let the two maids serve the girl, and you should stay away."

Guard: "..."

-

Qin Song was right. Shu is a vast territory with more than ten or two hundred thousand household registrations. If everyone was checked, the day lily would be cold.

He chose the ferry not just to check the land taxes and taxes he mentioned. The ferry was a famous place for merchants in Shu. A large amount of Shu brocade and Shu specialties were transported to all parts of the country through the ferry. What he wanted to check was the commercial tax.

There are not as many farmers in Fukou as in other places, but there are many more merchants. Qin Song must have expected that he was here to check business taxes, but he is not worried. So much silver is lost to corruption here every year, and there are loopholes everywhere. This thing It’s too fussy.

He took the household registration card to pay the business tax, and there were several colleagues working together in the study. Sure enough, they quickly found the loophole.

"Your Majesty."

A young gentleman stood up and saluted him in a long robe: "The tariff record of this ferry last year is similar to that of seven years ago, especially the rice and grain tax. But according to Mr. Qin, natural disasters have continued in the past two years. , why is there so much food sent out?"

Xiao Yan then asked him to bring it up and looked through it himself. The record on it was for a merchant named Liu, one of the big merchants at the ferry. Judging from the records above, he only sold rice and grains seven years ago and last year. The tax amount exceeded 60,000 taels of silver.

The data is exactly the same. There have obviously been changes in commercial taxes in the past seven years, but he has recorded exactly how many buckets of rice there are.

"Any more?"

Others rummaged hard, checked, and found some problems.

What is particularly serious is the head tax in a mixed town. The household registration post states that there are three boys in a family of eight, but only one person is taxed.

Apart from these few points, no other problems can be seen from the records. It is obvious that they have put a lot of effort into it. If it were an official who was impatient or came here only for money, he would not ask about these at all.

Leave as soon as the money is in place.

Xiao Yan then wrote down a few loopholes, and then ordered them to go out to investigate and inquire about the celestial phenomena and harvests in the surrounding villages in recent years. It is ridiculous to say that officials should have come to visit and record this matter every year, and later compiled it into a book. In the library, the emperor has been in poor health in recent years, and several princes have been fighting openly and secretly. The people's livelihood, which should be a major matter for the country, has been put behind the struggle for power and profit.
