King Lingyu

It is said that Sima Lingyu and A Yue came to the Ebofu Mansion, before A Yue stepped forward to report, the guards on both sides of the gate recognized Sima Lingyu in the prince's uniform, and hurried forward to salute, "My lord, you are here. Come in quickly, Steward Qi and his servants have been waiting for a long time."

Sima Lingyu nodded and strode into the door.As soon as he entered the door, he saw that steward Qi from last night led his servants to kneel down in unison, "Your servant welcomes the lord!" shouted loudly.Sima Lingyu thought, this hall master has some ability to make so many people so obedient.

Sima Lingyu stood still, with a smile on his face, "Everyone, please, since you have been ordered to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion, we will be a family from now on, and there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony." Sima Lingyu deliberately emphasized the word "ordered", " Since we are a family, we share weal and woe. This king hopes that we can be of one heart and one mind. This king has always been a person who can distinguish between love and hate. You serve this king and the eldest princess sincerely, so you will not treat you badly. This king always treats his family It is affectionate. But if anyone has a second heart, this king will not tolerate it. Presumably this king will execute a disobedient slave, and no one will say anything. Do you think so?"

"My lord's lesson is that the servants must do their best to serve the lord and the eldest princess well." Steward Qi lowered his brows and looked down, expressing his determination.

Others also shouted, "Only the prince will follow the lead!

Then the servants moved to the sides, and Steward Qi guided Sima Lingyu inside, "My lord, please!"

A Yue followed behind and also accompanied him.Sima Lingyu turned around, glanced at Ayue, and explained to Steward Qi, "He is Ayue, he has been with me since childhood, and I brought him from Prince Dun's mansion, if there is anything going on in the future, just let Ayue report on his behalf. "

"Yes, my lord! This servant has seen Master Ayue!" Steward Qi bowed to Ayue.

A Yue hurried forward to help him, "No, Steward Qi, just call me A Yue. We all work for the prince, regardless of each other, don't be so serious."

"Okay, okay." Steward Qi agreed, and looked at Sima Lingyu, "My lord, there is something I dare not report."

Sima Lingyu was startled, could it be that Zhengrun was captured?really--

"Last night, there was an assassin in the house! After the guards found out, they tried their best to arrest the assassin. Although they hurt the assassin, they still let him escape. The slave is ineffective, please punish him!"

Sima Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he hadn't been caught, "Forget it, you should send more people to protect the courtyard from today onwards, I'm afraid that some people don't want to see that the king is enjoying himself now, and want to cause some trouble before the big wedding."

"Yes, my lord. Please go to the main hall to rest first, and the servant will get you the 'Record of Servant' given by the emperor for you to read."

Sima Lingyu waved his hand, "Go and do your work first, the king also needs to change clothes, I invite you to come again."

"Okay, my lord." Steward Qi went down with his head down.

When he was far away, Sima Lingyu walked towards the main hall and said to A Yue, "Contact Zhengrun as soon as possible to see where he is and how his injury is. Tell him that there is no need to rush back to life, and we will wait until he recovers. In addition If necessary, replace Lian Nuo, take care of each other, and heal his wounds." Lian Nuo is also one of Sima Lingyu's dead men, he is good at the technique of diverting yellows, and he is also a master of poison.

"Okay, be careful, young master." A Yue turned around and left, "If you have any news, please report immediately."

Sima Lingyu said again, "Go out and call Steward Qi."

After a while, Steward Qi came in with a large volume of 'Household Records'.

Sima Lingyu flipped through it carefully, and there was a neat lowercase letter on which everyone's name and responsibilities were recorded.The first few pages are some important characters, who are in charge of various departments in the house, such as finance, storage, guards, harvesting, punishment, animal husbandry, etc. "Is this a reward from all the emperors?"

"Back to the lord, there are only 20 servants registered in the register. There is another [-], which will be used as a dowry by the eldest princess. The eldest princess will personally choose it, and it will be included in the register on the day of the wedding. The other [-] will be determined by the lord." Qi Guanjia Seeing that Sima Lingyu was silent, he continued, "The land bestowed by the emperor is [-] miles away from the suburbs of Nanjing. It is really fertile land, and the annual production is particularly good. It used to be an important supply place for the granary in the palace."

"Well, you go and call these people here first, I want to get to know each other." Sima Lingyu clicked on the various stewards on the first few pages. Those who "helped" him manage the palace, he always knew himself and the enemy.

Steward Qi gave some instructions to the people outside the door, and then returned to Sima Lingyu. After a while, several stewards arrived.Seeing Sima Lingyu, he knelt down again, "I have seen the prince."

Sima Lingyu stopped him, "My king just said that my family doesn't need to perform such a grand ceremony." Hearing this, several people got up.Sima Lingyu saw that these people were the ones who conspired last night, so he said, "I called you here today because I know that you are in charge of various errands in the mansion. This king wants to get to know you well, and everyone should talk about themselves. Who is the name, where is the hometown, and which houses have you worked in?"

These people thought that there was a mission assigned, but they didn't expect Sima Lingyu to ask them to report themselves, and they were a little flustered for a while.

"Back to the lord, the villain's surname is Qi," the son of Steward Qi was the first to reply, he glanced at his father, and quickly changed his words, "My surname is Qi, my first name is Kang, the lord can call me A Kang. The villain's hometown is In Baoshan County, he was directly recruited to the Ebofu Mansion when he came from his hometown, and he is mainly responsible for the daily life and food of the prince, if there is any need, the prince can just tell him."

Sima Lingyu turned his head and asked Steward Qi, "This young man has no experience in serving others, who allowed him to be in charge of such an important errand?"

"This—" Steward Qi sweated profusely when he asked in one sentence, "Go back to the lord, the slave got this 'Servant Record' from the palace, and it has already been written on it."

Use the emperor to suppress me?Sima Lingyu ignored Steward Qi, but turned to A Kang. "Akang, you were at home before, did you do farm work?"

"Go back, go back to your lord, in our hometown, boys have to help the family with farming when they are 12 years old, and villains are no exception." Akang was already very nervous.

"Well, I will arrange a good errand for you, would you like it?" Sima Lingyu looked at the trembling Akang, thinking that judging from the behavior of this young man from last night to today, he is not like him. Dad has so many tricks.

"Akang is willing, but according to the prince's order." Akang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Okay, my king has nearly [-] mu of land in the suburbs of Beijing. Would you like to take care of it for me? This is a heavy responsibility. Seeing that you are young and promising, this king intends to cultivate you well. If you do your best, this king will reward you This king will also take care of your own land and people from your hometown. You leave today, and Steward Qi will make preparations for you. You only need to return once a month."

"My villain, thank you for your kindness in cultivating the prince! I will definitely fulfill my mission, share my worries for the prince, and take good care of the fertile land of the prince." At this moment, Akang looked very happy, and looked at his father with a little complacency.He originally thought that he was a majestic seven-foot man who only did some daily food and food, and also had to secretly monitor the prince. He didn't like this job very much, and felt that he was being overqualified.He didn't expect the prince to entrust him with such an important task, and he would be in charge of all [-] mu of land. He never thought about it.

When he was young, his father used his kung fu skills and gathered some people to set up Qilutang, which specializes in doing some shady things for others. He is also well-known in Taoism. Although the income is very considerable, it is not a proper thing after all.This time, I don't know how the empress dowager found her father, and even arrested the family members of the brothers and sisters in the hall to threaten her.I can't manage so much anymore, the future is important.

Sima Lingyu questioned everyone in turn and readjusted their positions, but there was not much change. She would not let Steward Qi feel that she had already learned about their plan.

After all the servants had retreated, Ah Yue came in to report back, "Master, this is the floor plan of the Ebofu Mansion that Zhengrun just drew."

"How is Zhengrun? Is the injury serious?" Sima Lingyu asked anxiously.

"Master, Zhengrun was not injured, but the drawing delayed the time of reporting. He asked me to tell the young master to rest assured."

"What, isn't it Zhengrun?" Sima Lingyu was lost in thought, who then?Was it the lanky man last night or someone else?
