steal bi

Yuan Zanbi's unavoidable gaze seemed to be tempting him to do something.

Qiao Yu smiled, laughing that Yuan Zanbi was unprepared.

"Yuan Bi," he whispered, "Can you tell me why you came back?"

Yuan Zanbi said calmly: "Your Majesty asked me to come back."

Qiao Yu raised his hair, "You're lying to me."

"I happened to be with Qiao Xiang when I came back. Qiao Xiang should understand the danger of my return," Yuan Zan wrote: "If I can't come back, I will definitely not come back."

Qiao Yu stared into those eyes.

He knew that Yuan Zanbi must have not told him the truth, or was hiding something.

He was very bored, waved his hands and said: "Get out, I really don't want to see you now."

Yuan Zanbi remained motionless.

Qiao Yu turned over, turned his back to Yuan Zanbi, and said impatiently, "Why don't you leave?"

Yuan Zanbi tugged at his hair, but didn't.

He tugged again, but it still didn't move.

Yuan Zanbi said helplessly, "Qiao Xiang, my hair."

Qiao Yu closed her eyes and remained motionless, as if she didn't hear at all, and said to herself: "If Mr. Yuan really likes this place very much, Mr. Yuan can be merciful and make room for Mr. Yuan." Being pressed by his hair, his neck was stiff and uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to lie down where Qiao Yu left him.

Qiao Yu turned around, and looked at Yuan Zanbi playfully with eyes like foggy water, "I don't know the truth, you have fallen in love with the truth to such a degree, so you come at night, talking about it just to sleep By the side of the truth?"

Yuan Zanbi sighed, "Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu patted Yuan Zanbi's face, and said, "You like the truth, and the truth knows it."

"Qiao Xiang, I..."

Qiao Yu sighed and said: "As beautiful as the original face, how many people in the world will not fall in love with it when they see it. It is human nature for you to like the original face, and the original face is clear." When it touched his eyes, the eyelashes of the Yuanzan pen trembled slightly, scratching his fingertips very itchy.

"Joe Xiang..."

"Don't you like the truth?" Qiao Yu asked.

Yuan Zanbi knew that if he continued talking, he would fall into love with Qiao Yu. Do you like me?It is impossible for you not to like me. Among these meaningless questions and answers, he said: "Yes, I like Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu was stunned.

Yuan Zanbi grabbed the quilt and covered Qiao Yu with it.

"I've admired Qiao Xiang for a long time, Qiao Xiang, go to sleep." He closed his eyes very naturally.

Qiao Yu blinked slowly. If Yuan Zanbi opened his eyes, he would find that the bewilderment in Qiao Yu's eyes was rare in the world, and it added a bit of frivolity and innocent beauty to his face.

Qiao Yu came back to her senses, "Are you teasing me?"

Yuan Zanbi fell silent, breathing steadily.

Qiao Yu thought to himself that he was just teasing me.

Why is he teasing me?

Qiao Yu pushed Yuan Zanbi, but Yuan Zanbi ignored him at all, "You really look beautiful, but now you have no one to rely on, you want to take advantage of it." Qiao Yu asserted.

Helplessness appeared on Yuan Zan's pen.

Qiao Yu thought for a long time, and finally confirmed: He really likes me.

The candlelight in the room was dim, and the curtains fell down to only one side of the world, as if nothing in the world had anything to do with it.

Too bad it's impossible.

The emperor slammed the ensemble on the table, causing the things on the table to jingle.

He got up and left. Eunuch Xia didn't dare to speak, so he picked up his cloak and followed.

The evening breeze was cool, and the emperor walked out of the hall without saying a word.

After walking down the jade steps, the emperor raised his head and looked up.

Even though the moonlight is soft and the palace is majestic, it is still majestic.

The emperor sighed unrecognizably, and said, "Tell me, what would happen if Yuan Zanying was here?"

Eunuch Xia is holding the cloak, how dare he answer this sentence.

What will happen?

Maybe it doesn't help, but he always has someone to talk to, Yuan Zanying is sincere to him, and the emperor knows it.

He closed his eyes.

He remembered what Xie Jujin said, he said that His Majesty was wrong, everyone in the court was not loyal to His Majesty, could it be that Yuan Zanying was the only one available?What's more, in today's situation, why didn't Yuan Zanying have a hand early, he was ambitious, but he trapped the king in an unrighteous place, such a minister, it is better to kill him!

If Yuan Zanying was still there, he would probably comfort him with gentle words before making any plans.

The emperor stood in the moonlight, and the white hair on his temples was very clear.

He said in a deep voice: "President Xie, Minister Chen, and..." He paused, and suddenly Qiao Yu was dismissed from office at home. After listening to Duke Huai, he did not regret it, "Prince Huai, and the prince , the third prince is here."

Xia Gonggong said: "Yes."

The imperial study room was brightly lit all night, and the visitors did not disperse until the east gradually became brighter.

Before going to court, a news spread: Qingzhou was flooded, and rebels took advantage of the chaos to attack five cities in Qingzhou. As the deputy, he has the right to assist the military in suppressing the rebels and will take office immediately.

The two received the imperial decree one after another.

Yuan Zan has no expression on his face, and his emotions are unknown.

It is said that Qiao Yu smashed a tea set when he heard the news.

The prince said: "Mr. Qiao's move is too disgraceful."

However, Chen Xiang said: "If the old minister were Qiao Xiang, he would not be able to maintain his dignity." He smiled, "Qingzhou is currently in crisis, and if he goes there, he might be buried there. The Fang family's direct line is all in Shaoling, the main city of Qingzhou. , Zhongzhou officials have always needed the help of local wealthy families when they are transferred to handle affairs. Even if they turn a blind eye, they will not intervene. With the relationship between Qiao Yu and the Fang family, the prince thinks that Fang Hechi will help him with all his strength? Or will he obstruct him a lot? What's more, It is also the most important point, Qiao Yu is the chief envoy, Yuan Zanbi is the deputy envoy, but the army is in the hands of Yuan Zanbi, isn't Qiao Yu under the control of others? If he does this well, the emperor will only reward the two of them. Well, he's making one man responsible."

The prince said: "It's my fault." He thought for a moment, "Uncle, what do you think Qiao Xiang will do?"

"The best way is to tell His Majesty that he can't go, just call him sick." Chen Xiangdao: "But the matter in Qingzhou can't be delayed any longer, His Majesty won't agree. The only way in front of him is to gather the army in his hands. For Yuan Zanbi, either intimidate, or lure, or simply take advantage of the chaos in Qingzhou to kill him and monopolize the power, it is much better than now, but, "

"But what?"

"But if Yuan Zanbi is not a fool, he probably thinks the same way."

The speculation about Qiao Yu's attitude is enough to write a book. If he knew it, he would probably scoff. Arrived and angry.

Regardless of the rumors, the two adults who seemed to be in the same situation still left the city together and set off for Qingzhou.

Yuan Zanbi was sitting upright, while Qiao Yu was lying on the carriage, her hair not even tied up.

Qiao Yu was sleeping soundly, when suddenly the butler ran in and said that Eunuch Xia had come.

He went there wearing a robe, he was too sleepy, and only after listening for a long time did he know that the emperor had sent him to Qingzhou.

Qiao Yu muttered to himself: "Master Yuan, do you think there is a future for rebellion?"

Yuan Zanbi was very calm when he heard the rebellious words, "No."

Qiao Yu grabbed Yuan Zanbi's hand and said with a dull look: "Master Yuan, you have an army in your hands, why don't we plot rebellion. After the matter is completed, you and I will rule across the river."

Yuan Zanbi pulled out his hand and said, "Qiao Xiang, being an emperor makes it even harder to sleep well."

Qiao Yu said drowsily: "It's nothing, just be a foolish king." He sighed quietly, "That's right. Besides, what kind of army do you have in your hand? Call the Qingzhou Army? Is there any army in Qingzhou, and how many troops are there? Training I don’t know how, how about the armor and equipment, how about the food and grass reserves.” The more he said, the more angry he became, “Why doesn’t the emperor just burn some soldiers and horses for us?”

Yuan Zanbi: "..."

Only now did he feel that Qingzhou and his party were really dangerous, and Qiao Yu had even thought about their affairs.

Yuan Zanbi was afraid that his anger would ruin his body, so he thought for a long time and said: "If you come, you will be safe."

Qiao Yu said angrily: "An Zhi, what An Zhi? Every time such a mess is found, why doesn't the emperor find the world..." He paused, and suddenly remembered that Yuan Zanbi was also a member of a family.

He took a deep breath and felt a little relieved.

The emperor always put his nostalgia for Yuan Zanying on the surface, as if everything Yuan Zan wrote was because the emperor missed his brother.

You see, Yuan Zanying died for state affairs, did the emperor show mercy to his loving brother?

Qiao Yu casually picked up a book of documents and snorted coldly.

Yuan Zanbi didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that he was much quieter, he went to do his own thing.

Qiao Yu was originally lying on the pillow, but then she went crazy and just lay on his lap.

Yuan Zan's pen froze, but it would be a good thing to make Qiao Yu shut up, so he simply pretended not to see it.

He and Qiao Yu were originally in a carriage, and Qiao Xiang got into his carriage not long after he left the city, and talked with him for several hours.

Qiao Yu looked up along his lower abdomen, Yuan Zan pen was writing something with her head down, completely ignoring the living person on her lap.

Qiao Yu wrapped his arms around his waist.

Yuan Zan shook his hand, and the ink spilled on the memorial he had just written.

"Joe Xiang."

Yuan Zanbi's waist is thin but not soft, and her belly is tight.

Qiao Yu stuck to his clothes and said, "Master Yuan, do you want to talk to Ben Xiang about Qingzhou?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "You get up first."

Instead of getting up, Qiao Yu rubbed harder, and now he watched Yuan Zanbi's ears start to turn red.

Qiao Yu stretched out a hand, wanting to touch Yuan Zanbi's ear.

Yuan Zan pen retreated.

Qiao Yu felt a subtle joy, and said, "Hey, why do you look like a little girl? Are you going to tell the truth later, please respect yourself."

Yuan Zanbi took a deep breath, "No."

"Then what are you going to do?" Qiao Yu looked up from the bottom, "Call someone?"

Yuan Zanbi didn't bow his head, and simply didn't talk to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu could feel the rising and falling of his lower abdomen, as if she was trying her best not to overturn him.

Qiao Yu cheered a little, and said: "Qingzhou is far away from Zhongzhou. The aristocratic family is not much compared with Wanzhou, Ningzhou and Zhongzhou, but the foundation is deep. The Fang family is a hundred-year-old family with a longer lifespan than our dynasty. The customs of Qingzhou are simple and simple, compared with other places. The aristocratic family is even more respected. There are many heavy rains here, and the Qiu River often floods. This time the flood caused the embankment of the Qiu River to be washed away, and it was repaired every year, and it collapsed every year."

"Why?"

"What why?"

"Why is it repaired every year and broken every year?"

Qiao Yu looked at him with a look like a fool, "Naturally it is profitable, how much money does the imperial court give Qingzhou a year to build the river?" He sneered, "500 million taels. It's enough for the state's tax for three years. Because of the Qiuhe incident, Qingzhou has been exempted from taxation for five years. My lord, if you are the governor of Qingzhou, do you repair the embankment, or share the money with the big clan? Besides, you can't repair it at all. Without the support of the aristocratic family, it is difficult for the state guard to move forward in Qingzhou. If you submit a letter to His Majesty, you may be stopped before you arrive in Zhongzhou. It’s okay to lose your official position because of this. Isn’t it worth losing your wealth and life? If you don’t want to join forces, turn a blind eye If you close your eyes and leave after the expiration of your term of office, you will be regarded as clean and virtuous.”

Yuan Zanbi frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"Lord Yuan, not all governors have the status of us," Qiao Yu pointed to himself, "You can go straight to heaven, and you have a high status. As long as you don't go too far, no one will dare to do anything to you. This is a chronic disease of the country. However, there are floods and famines in Qingzhou every year, and this is the first time that the rebels have rebelled. It is also strange that the five states in the west that take the family least seriously did not rebel, but this place rebelled first. "

Yuan Zan wrote: "I heard what Qiao Xiang meant, as if he was trying to persuade me not to act rashly?"

Qiao Yu smiled and said: "Where. You made Fang's life difficult, and I benefited from it. I advise you to arrest Fang's family immediately after you take office and torture them before it's too late."

Yuan Zanbi lowered his head.

The two looked at each other, and Qiao Yu said, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Qiao Xiang once said that he is a person with power."

Qiao Yu lazily said: "It's not the truth, but there is no way to refute the truth."

Yuan Zanbi asked seriously: "Why would a person in power pay attention to these things?" Pay attention to these seemingly minor details, but in fact they are of great importance.

Since Qiao Yu became prime minister, the most notable thing is not his political achievements, but his means of suppressing political opponents.

Qiao Yu bent his eyes, Yuanzanbi couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, "Because," he suddenly reached out and touched Yuanzanpen's ear, but the other party had no time to dodge, so he had to let him rub a few times like touching a cat, "It's not a secret. You are often at the border, so it's only natural that you don't know the inside story."

Yuan Zanbi said softly: "Qiao Xiang seems to know too much."

Qiao Yu pinched Yuan Zanbi's ears, and played with his hair around his fingertips again, "Now the truth is in your heart, but has it changed from playing power tricks to worrying about the country and the people?"

Yuan Zanbi shook his head.

Qiao Yu tore off a few strands of his hair.

"The truth is in vain." He said angrily, "Master Yuan doesn't even know how to reciprocate?"

However, he thought in his heart: Why is Yuan Zanbi asking these questions?

Does he really want to clean up one side?

Qiao Yu lowered her eyes and smiled brighter and brighter.

This is based on the premise of touching the interests of the aristocratic family. With Yuan Zanying as a lesson from the past, he does not believe that Yuan Zanbi will dare to do this.

Yuan Zan wrote: "What is the first thing Qiao Xiang will do when he arrives in Qingzhou?"

Qiao Yu thought for a while and replied, "Going to the funeral."

The two chatted openly, and the guards changed their guards from time to time to protect the car.

A young man whispered: "The relationship between these two is really good."

The captain slapped the young man, "What are you talking about?"

This man had a mouthful of white and neat teeth when he smiled. Although his face was not handsome, he had a round face with thick eyebrows and was very flattering. He scratched his head and said: "I said that the relationship between the two adults is not as good as it is said outside." Difference."

The captain said with a stern face: "Get out, who asked you to inquire."

The young man still smiled and said, "Oh, I see."

The Yuanzan pen has the same regulations as Qiao Yu's car, except that Qiao Yu's interior is more comfortable.

In the evening, when the whole team rested, Qiao Yu suddenly smelled a choking smell.

Before he opened the curtain, he heard someone yelling, as if scolding something.

Qiao Yu pressed his temple, and said irritably, "What's the matter?"

The captain said: "My lord, this kid accidentally burned the curtains of your chariot and horses when he lit the fire to cook."

Yuan Zanbi looked at Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu said: "If it burns, it will be burned, just change it."

Qiao Yu was a little depressed and said: "Could it be that I am such an unreasonable person in the hearts of Master Yuan, that I would drag out the car even if I burnt a curtain?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "No."

"Then what do you see me doing?"

Yuan Zanbi was at a loss for words for a moment, he couldn't say that he just happened to look up and meet Qiao Yu's eyes.

Mrs. Qiao Yu's liking for extravagance has not changed. The curtains have changed from different silk curtains to those made of silk and satin bestowed by the emperor. When exposed to light, they shimmer like water.

During the next month's journey, the two chatted along the way, not talking about state affairs, but it was rare to be peaceful.

In the first half of the month, they looked up and saw that it was relatively stable, but the further they went to Qingzhou, the situation became more and more turbulent.

Even Qiao Yuan's convoy was harassed several times, sometimes by refugees, sometimes by bandits. Although the bandits harmed one side, they couldn't compete with the regular army of the imperial court. Not daring to step forward, just...

"It's just that banditry can catch the king first, so it doesn't make sense to just kill it." Qiao Yu bent down and picked up a blackened purse on the ground. The purse should have been pink, but it was stained with dirt and blood. , I can’t see what is embroidered on it for a long time, "However, what about the refugees, Lord Yuan commanded the army for several years, fought many battles with other countries, and reported to the king on the golden stage, and carried the jade dragon to die for the king, and for the ministers I have to obey Shang’s will, but what do Master Yuan want to do with these people?”

Yuan Zanbi was silent for a while.

Beside the purse, there are a few small bones remaining. The bones are pure white, without even a trace of blood. The bones are covered with tooth marks, and they don't look like ferocious beasts gnawing on them.

Qiao Yu said leisurely, "When necessary, Master Yuan can also draw his sword. It doesn't matter if he kills anyone. What's the difference between killing enemies and bandits?" He made a gesture and stroked his neck lightly, "such a person die."

Most of the refugees are homeless, have no food to eat, and death is the most common and trivial matter. The elderly and infirm may die from exhaustion on the road, starve to death, or be divided and eaten.

This is already the case before arriving in Qingzhou. I don't know what kind of hell on earth it will be in Qingzhou.

Yuan Zanbi lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Get in the car, Xiang Qiao."

Qiao Yu returned to his car.

The road ahead is bumpy and difficult.

When the convoy reached the valley, there was no one there, and the evening wind was chilling, making the surrounding vegetation rustle, mixed with the wind passing through the canyon, like a ghost crying.

Several people couldn't help rubbing their arms. They had seen all kinds of corpses before, and this kind of tranquility was more terrifying than the pile of corpses.

A long whistle interrupted the tranquility of the night.

The young man was startled, raised his torch and shouted: "There is someone!"

The light of the fire shone on the satin curtain, dazzling.

Qiao Yu's carriage had already driven into the canyon, and the driver turned around with difficulty. Before he could turn around, he heard a rumbling sound from above his head, which was deafening like thunder. When he looked up, all he could see was a huge boulder suddenly rolling down.

"boom--"

Smoke is everywhere.

The next moment, arrows shot from all directions, and the flaming arrows were like rain. In an instant, the carriage that was half pressed by the boulder was shot into a hedgehog.

In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky.

The satin curtain bestowed by the emperor was swallowed by the flames in an instant.

"Qiao Xiang!" The young man said heart-rendingly. Seeing that he was not shot to death, the captain rushed in like crazy and pulled him back, hiding behind the stone.

The convoy also seemed to be in disarray because of these changes, and the team collapsed.

Yuan Zanbi's carriage was right behind Qiao Yu's carriage, and he almost watched Qiao Yu's carriage being smashed, and the driver drove hard before leaving the canyon.

The arrow's offensive was much less, the captain slapped the young man and shouted hoarsely: "Don't die!"

The young man said with red eyes, "Qiao Xiang is still inside."

After a while, no one shot arrows overhead.

The young man froze for a moment, and said, "Is everything all right?"

The captain patted him on the shoulder, pulled him up, and said, "It should be fine."

The young man couldn't believe it: "Is this the end?"

The captain laughed angrily, and said, "Could it be that you still want to shoot for a while?"

Before the words fell, there was a long whistling sound from above, like a whistle.

The young people watched helplessly as several ragged corpses were thrown down at such a fast speed that they might be broken into several pieces when they hit the ground.

One even reached his eyes, and when he raised his head, he met the eyes of the dead fish of the corpse, and almost cried out in fright.

Only then did he see the rope tied around the corpse's waist, stretched extremely straight, fluttering in the wind.

The captain said: "It's so rare, isn't it?" He patted hard on the waist of the young man who bent over and vomited all over the floor, "You boy, you weren't afraid of death just now, what's your name?"

The young man said vaguely, "Lin Miao."

As soon as Lin Miao raised her head, she saw a white shadow jumping down from above.

This is a living person!

He stopped screaming in his throat, and saw the other party stepping on the raised rocks as if they had no weight, and then floated down.

The captain greeted Xiaoxue, "Master Xue."

Xiaoxue said: "Old Hu." He glanced at Lin Miao, "This person was beside Qiao Xiang's car just now?"

Old Hu said: "It's him, just now he went in desperately."

Both of them were from Yuan Zanbi, and they seemed unmoved by Qiao Yu's death.

Xiaoxue said to Lin Miao, "Come with me."

Lin Miao wiped her mouth and said, "Where are you going?"

Xiaoxue said as a matter of course: "Go to my lord, I must have your personal ID, otherwise, how can I explain to you, Your Majesty?"

Lin Miao opened her eyes wide and said in astonishment, "That's it?"

Xiaoxue sneered and said, "Otherwise, what about? Don't you leave after someone dies, can't you bury him with him?"

Lin Miao was concerned, but stopped talking.

Lin Miao was brought to the carriage by Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue said: "My lord, I brought it here."

Yuan Zanbi sat in the car and said: "Just now Qiao met the assassin, what did you see?"

Lin Miao said, "I, I only saw huge boulders rolling down from the mountain, and arrows piercing the carriage...My lord," the young man's voice trembled, "Who has the guts to assassinate the imperial court?" Commander?"

Yuan Zanbi said quietly: "There are many."

Lin Miao was taken aback.

"Assassinating Qiao Xiang has many benefits. For example, I sold a favor and let me have great power. I am a child of a family. I am in power in Qingzhou, which is much better than Qiao Xiang. It may also make His Majesty doubt me and Qiao. Yu Neidou doesn't trust me either. And the person who died was Qiao Yu, but this is a great benefit." Yuan Zan wrote: "Qiao Xiang, do you think so?"

Before Lin Miao could react, Xiaoxue kicked him to the ground and stuffed his mouth with something.

The guards rushed forward.

Qiao Yu lifted the curtain of the car, and said, "The truth has limited patience, tell the truth, who sent you here?"

Lin Miao whined and shook his head.

Qiao Yu waved his hand, "Don't let him commit suicide, save it for a slow interrogation."

Xiaoxue went over to face Lao Hu with a smile, turned her head and said, "My lord, although the corpse is worn out, it is in good health, and it doesn't look like a bandit."

Qiao Yu said thoughtfully: "It's not something ordinary bandits can do to collude with subordinates." He sighed, "People are sent by His Majesty, of course..." He met Yuan Zanbi's eyes, "Of course it's impossible It's His Majesty."

"Someone wants to give you a big gift." Qiao Yu said, "Why doesn't anyone want to kill you and keep me?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Sleep, Qiao Xiang."

"Is this the heaven's jealousy of a confidante's fate?"

Yuan Zanbi said helplessly, "Go to sleep, Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu yawned, "After that, I can only sleep with you reluctantly all the way."

Yuan Zanbi: "..."

The two showed intimacy along the way afterwards, and there was no more yin and yang disputes.

Xiaoxue said: "So these two adults played it before?" He picked up a burning twig and burned grass on the ground to play.

During the time he was by the carriage, he had never heard Qiao Yu and Yuan Zanbi talk about the traitor around him, and they coincided so coincidentally?

……

Shaoling is the gateway to Qingzhou, and the disaster has deepened from here, and the scene should be more terrifying than what they saw before.But to the surprise of the two of them, although Shaoling could not be called prosperous, it was still somewhat angry. The city was clean, unlike other places where there were deep pits dug directly to bury the corpses.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the post, invitations came pouring in, and at the same time, various rare gifts were sent.

In less than half an hour, all kinds of gifts had filled the main hall.

Qiao Yu opened a box casually, waved to Yuan Zanbi, and said, "Master Yuan, why don't you and I deal with it casually."

When Yuan Zanbi looked at it, it was a beautiful sapphire head, with long eyebrows and eyes, and a beautiful complexion. The exquisite carving work can be described as ingenious.

Qiao Yu took it out and played with it casually.

Yuan Zanbi frowned slightly.

"how?"

Yuan Zan took the pen, compared it with Qiao Yu's face, and said, "It's somewhat similar to Qiao Yu."

Qiao Yu took a closer look and said with a smile, "No wonder Truth feels so delicate. Fortunately, Truth has never had the habit of revealing her body in front of others, otherwise maybe what I sent today is a beautiful sapphire portrait."

No matter what Yuan Zanbi heard, he felt that what he said was not luck, but regret.

Qiao Yu picked up the sapphire head and marveled, "I have been an official for several years, and I have never seen such a jade. I am afraid that even the palace rarely has such a fine product." Just like Wanshan contains emerald green, green but not stiff, human faces are carved on the lighter side, and long flowing hair is on the darker green side. The carving is exquisite and unique.

He threw it casually, and the jade rolled down and fell into the flannel of the box.

"It's just that the meaning is not good, it looks like a threat." Qiao Yu complained softly to Yuan Zanbi, "Master Yuan, if you don't cooperate with them, will it be Ben who will be put in it later?" Prime Minister's head?"

Yuan Zanbi ignored him, and said: "Qingzhou's grain is soaring, and the price is almost comparable to gold."

Qiao Yu stroked the head lightly with his fingers, and said, "How much does Master Yuan think this head is worth?" He smiled, "If it's the truth, it's probably worth a lot. Such a thing, 1 taels of gold, is it worth it?"

Both of them saw the clarity in each other's eyes.

"Officials from Qingzhou keep leaving through this place, and some of them have already returned to their hometown," Qiao Yu muttered to himself, "The order to pass on the truth is not allowed to leave Shaoling without reason. If there is something to come to the governor's mansion, a document is required to go out of the city."

Immediately someone did it.

Qiao Yu said: "Although it is said that the medicine can cure the disease, one must also know what the disease is." He looked at the Yuanzan pen, "Do you want to go out with Zhenxiang for a walk?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Please, Qiao."

The two new officials took office, and the decree was issued fairly quickly.

……

Before the little official had finished speaking, he was slapped across the face by the guard who stopped the carriage.

A man's head protruded from the carriage, with a high crown and jade face, handsome eyebrows and eyes, obviously a son of an aristocratic family.

"Why?" the young master asked gently, but there was arrogance in his tone that could not be ignored.

The guard said: "My lord, it is said that the new governor is not allowed to leave the city. If there is something urgent, you need to report it to the governor."

The young master frowned, and said to the official who was smiling apologetically, "Do you know who I am?"

The little official smiled all over his face, and said flatteringly: "This little brother said that you are the son of the Yuan family, and you come from a noble family."

"Since you know why don't you let it go?"

The little official smiled wryly and said: "You don't know, the new Inspector is very difficult to take care of. There are many things, and the requirements are complicated. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, let me go away. My lord, you are a child of a family. There are Li people who are raising them, and they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. The young ones have seniors and juniors, and they can only count on a salary of a few stones a month to support the whole family, which is really unscrupulous.”

He lowered his brows and pleasing to the eye, his words were humble, but in reality he seemed to have a thorn in his mouth, which made the Yuan Clan's son feel uncomfortable.

"you!"

Seeing the master was angry, the guard immediately lit up his knife, and the little official ran out a few steps with a wow, and shouted, "Killer!"

The eyes of those who had been queuing up all focused on this group of people, and Mr. Yuan's slender face flushed red, "You..."

It had just rained, and the bluestone slab was very slippery. The little official staggered and leaned back.

He yelled loudly, but the pain he imagined did not come immediately. When he looked back, there were hands firmly supporting his shoulders.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Zan asked.

The little official said: "My lord, there is a Master Yuan who insists on leaving the city. If I say no, his bodyguard will use his knife." The left side of his face was still red, and there was a slap mark.

Yuan Zanbi looked in the direction he pointed.

The young master said in a soft tone, "My lord, I am too..." He was taken aback, "The hairpin pen?"

The little official's gaze wandered over the two, "You two know each other?"

Yuan Zanbi calmly said: "I do know him." He turned to the little official and said, "Master Wei, this is my elder brother Yuan Xiuyan."

The little official was beaten so badly that his molars hurt. Hearing this, he felt like crying and laughing at the same time. He forced a smile on his face and said, "It's the little one who has eyes but no eyes. Let Mr. Yuan go."

Yuan Xiuyan raised his head slightly, as if he was waiting for the official's apology.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Brother is rude, I will apologize to you on my behalf."

As soon as this remark came out, the most astonished person was not the little official in front of him, but Yuan Xiuyan.

"A hairpin?"

Yuan Zanbi said lightly: "According to the laws of the Great Wei, those who slap officials in the court and interfere with their official duties in the street shall be whipped one hundred times and sent to the local repair work for two months. The national treasury. Now is the time to employ people, so the lashes from one hundred to twenty will be sent directly to repair the city wall." Before the words finished, the guard was dragged off the horse by a subordinate.

Yuan Xiuyan heard the guards shouting for help, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, he seemed to be stupefied.

"grown ups."

"Now there is a shortage of manpower everywhere in the city," Yuan Zan wrote: "I won't let you go back to see a doctor first, but I will ask someone to find a doctor for you tonight."

The little official thought it was a joke when Yuan Zan wrote the first sentence, but now that the guards have been dragged away, he touched his face, a little frightened, and said, "It's okay, sir, you don't have to do this."

"This is the law of the country." Qiao Yu answered with a smile, "There's no need to take it to the government, just beat it up and send it away on the spot, as a warning to others."

The two sang and harmonized in harmony.

Yuan Zan wrote: "The situation is special now, if my cousin is fine, don't leave the city."

Yuan Xiuyan finally came to his senses, and said angrily, "I have something urgent."

Qiao Yu tugged at the sleeve of Yuan's hairpin pen, and said, "It's easy to say, Mr. Yuan, ah, if Mr. Yuan has something important to do, just talk to Truth directly. If it's really urgent, Truth will let Mr. Yuan go immediately." He was very Be patient, "Why don't adults speak?"

Yuan Xiuyan sneered and said: "I don't know when there will be more rules like this in the court, and I will be born in such a humble and rude way. Well, I won't leave today. I will go back and write a book to ask. What does your lord say? What kind of national law."

Qiao Yu made a gesture of letting go.

Yuan Xiuyan angrily lowered the curtain.

Yuan Zanbi suddenly said: "Brother, wait a minute."

Yuan Xiuyan said through the curtain, "What else is there?"

Yuan Zanbi said solemnly: "Brother, the fine must be handed over immediately."

Yuan Xiuyan resisted the urge to attack, and said: "I don't bring any gold with me, and I will definitely send it to the governor's mansion when I go back."

Yuan Zan pen said: "This is the law of the country."

"Then what do you want?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "I think my brother's car can barely cover it."

Yuan Xiuyan couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "What did you say?"

Yuan Zanbi repeated: "I think my brother's frame can be used together." He looked very upright, "My brother and Zanbi are from the same family, and Zanbi doesn't want my brother to lose face." His meaning has already been expressed. Very clear.

Yuan Xiuyan was trembling with anger, but he also knew that Yuanzanbi would not save him face, maybe if he didn't get out of the car, Yuanzanbi would drag him out of the car, so he sneered, "Okay, okay." After getting out of the car, his face was pale and ugly, and he looked at Yuan Zanbi and Qiao Yu even more unkindly, "You're doing well."

Qiao Yu said: "Master Yuan has always been good."

Yuan Xiuyan gritted his teeth and said, "What's the difference between being with such people and being depraved?"

Yuan Zanbi only said to the retinue: "See what can be used, and send it over."

Yuan Xiuyan couldn't get an answer from Yuan Zanbi, so he had to turn around and leave.

Qiao Yu laughed unceremoniously, stretched out his hand and tugged at the sleeve of the Yuanzan pen, and said, "Master Yuan, you have to be careful, your clan brother might go back and write a letter to your old man, crying How can you turn your face and deny people?"

The little official was dumbfounded.

Qiao Yu said: "In the future, if there is such a person again, let him either keep the carriage frame, or exchange ten taels of gold for equivalent grain. If things go on like this, our governor's mansion may become rich beyond the enemy's country." Although he spoke harshly, but interesting.

The little official couldn't help laughing.

He has met many high officials, but none like Qiao and Yuan.

Qiao Yu said: "There is not much grain in the city, and I am afraid that we will have to open warehouses to release grain several times in the future. Shao Ling will also be responsible for the grain dispatching of the entire Qingzhou. Some people would rather go back and write a letter, and they probably won't be able to afford tens of thousands of shi to go out of the city. .”

"What do Master Yuan think?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Less."

He was serious, and Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing, "Then thirty thousand."

The little official was dumbfounded, seeing how naturally Qiao Yu raised the price while sitting on the ground.
