Chapter 445

It's a fool who believes in the truth about their husband and wife.

There are more than a dozen aristocratic families, including four or five major ones. Even the other branches, the accumulated wealth is amazing enough.

Zhao Jingyun is too greedy!

The Marquis of Nanling had never seen anyone more greedy than Zhao Jingyun. Generally speaking, if the water is clear, there is no fish. Officials are greedy, especially those who are responsible for seizing officials, they are simply fat. If an official in the court is ordered to seize someone, he will be envied to death. Even the emperor knew that the officials who were going to seize would not be too clean, but the emperor never deliberately pointed it out. The emperor ate meat and the people below followed him to drink soup. It is natural.

But even so, he had never heard of the officials in charge of seizure that they dared to fill their pockets, and that they were more greedy than the emperor. King Jingyue simply took it all over the place. Isn’t this ugly appearance?

"Prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the job when I return to the capital." Nanling Hou could no longer help but start complaining.

Zhao Jingyun's face turned cold and his tone became stiff, "Marquis Nanling thinks that I am too greedy and greedy for all my money and give me my personal pockets?"

Nanling Hou thought to himself: No, are you not greedy? But he dared not complain at all, and explained with a bitter face, "The officials dare not."

Zhao Jingyun sneered, "Did you never think about it, or dare not say it?"

"Prince forgive me." Nanling Hou knelt down immediately.

After Lin Qingqian saw the good show, she smiled and said, "Prince, why bother to get angry? Lord Xu is also ordered to do things. He has sealed a lot of money and has not seen so much money, so it is not easy for Lord Xu to pay for his job when he returns to Beijing."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhao Jingyun's face finally looked much better.

Nanling Hou really wanted to reach out and wipe off all the sweat from his forehead. Alas, Princess Jing is much more reasonable than Prince Jing Yue!

"Since Lord Xu suspects me, I will not make things difficult for Lord Xu. I will take out all the seized accounts later. Although Lord Xu has taken someone to check, Lord Xu will also be able to hand over the job to the emperor after he goes back." Although Zhao Jingyun scared Marquis of Nanling, his tone is still unsatisfactory.

The Marquis of Nanling quickly accused him of crime, "The lower official is aware of the crime."

"Mr. Xu is so guilty. I am open and honest, so there is no need to cover up. Master Xu is in charge of business and has to do his job well before he can return to the capital to report to the emperor. You don't have to talk to me in a roundabout way. Everything is done according to the rules. When the emperor asks, everyone can make sense." Zhao Jingyun's mood at least eased.

"Mr. Xie Prince Xie understands." Marquis of Nanling is not stupid. Even if he offended King Jingyue, he cannot go back to the capital in a dark way. Otherwise, how should he report to the emperor?

The matter was not satisfactory, but after all, Nanling Hou was in a pretty good mood.

"The emperor and the queen mother gave the prince, and the princess's gift was still outside. Please ask the prince and princess to accept the order."

Speaking of receiving the order, Zhao Jingyun was a little impatient. His wife had a big belly and had to kneel down. She was unhappy after thinking about it.

"The princess is pregnant, let's talk about it for a long time." He ordered without hesitation.

Nanling Hou...

He wanted to tell Zhao Jingyun that this was inconsistent with etiquette.

But can Zhao Jingyun listen to him? On other people's territory, Nanling Hou felt that it would be better to know the current affairs. Sure enough, when he received the order, he finished speaking in a few words.

"Prince, this is a gift list, please check it out." After finally reading the imperial edict, the Marquis of Nanling secretly looked at Zhao Jingyun. Well, the Prince was quite satisfied, that's fine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shuibai took the gift list and looked at it, then went out to count the gifts.

"Mu Qing, take Lord Xu to the post station, and send the progress of the Cao Gang and the bills sealed by the aristocratic family to the post station, so that Lord Xu can take over and check the accounts." After getting the things, Zhao Jingyun started to drive people without hesitation.

Nanling Hou.....

He felt so frustrated. According to the rules, he came from the original road of the capital, and he also escorted the King of Jingyue all the way. Even if he had no credit, he should have worked hard. As the host, should King of Jingyue treat him to a simple meal?

Just like this, King Jingyue sent him away?

"Please, Lord Xu." Mu Qing and Shui Bai are the closest guards around Zhao Jingyun. Not only do he shoulder the task of protecting Zhao Jingyun, but he also helps Zhao Jingyun handle daily common affairs. Seeing the constipated look on Marquis of Nanling's face, he immediately sneered in his heart. What's wrong? He doesn't want to leave, but still wants to stay for dinner?

Humph, it would be nice to dare to snatch money from the prince without beating this bastard. He also wanted to stay for dinner, which was so beautiful.

After Nanling Hou bowed and thanked him, he had to leave the villa in shame.

After leaving the villa, he happened to see Lin Fansheng and his wife returning to the Lin family.

"Zugong Lin, uncle, second master, princess, said that I would eat in another courtyard today." Mu Qing immediately greeted the person.

Seeing that he was respectful, Marquis of Nanling couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan and others in confusion. As he was speaking, several gorgeous children ran over, "Hello, uncle, father, second master."

"Several young men are leaving school, the princess is waiting for you." Mu Qing greeted again.

Several children cheered, and one of them clapped his hands happily, "Oh, look at my brother."

"I want to talk to my brother."

"I will recite poems for him."

After they saluted the adults, they actually went directly to the other courtyard.

Mu Qing looked at them and smiled. His attitude was completely different from that of Nanling Hou.

When Nanling Hou suddenly thought of the identities of these people, he couldn't help but speak, "Are you the young masters of the Lin family?"

Lin Yuan and others were stunned and found that they didn't know each other. However, the other party was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the few guards behind him looked shining, and they looked like they were not ordinary people.

The Lin family has now successfully entered the upper reaches of Pingyang City. Most of the officials and families in Pingyang City already know Lin Yuan and Lin Jingxing. The other party asked about their identities, which shows that they were not from Pingyang City.

"Who are you?" Lin Yuan saw that Mu Qing had no intention of introducing them, so he asked about the other party's identity.

"I am the Marquis of Nanling." Marquis of Nanling bowed and introduced himself.

As expected! It turned out to be an official from the capital. Lin Yuan glanced at the guards behind Nanling Hou quietly. Lin Fansheng and his son did not speak, and Lin Yuan spoke perfunctorily, "I am Lin Yuan, and the few around me are elders and brothers in the family."

Nanling Hou was stunned. Didn’t he say that there were only three brothers in the third house of the Lin family? Why did the elders of the Lin family appear again?

"Uncle, the prince and the princess are still waiting in the yard." Mu Qing urged again.

So, Lin Yuan and others knew that Nanling Hou was not popular. He smiled and agreed, and the few of them went straight into the courtyard together.

The disliked Marquis of Nanling......

"Mr. Xu walked slowly." Mu Qing bowed with a smile.

Nanlinghou reluctantly smiled and said politely, then took his own people away.

At this time, it was lunch time, and the cold village he came to was very lively. The farmers who returned from the fields carried farm tools in groups of three or two, laughing and talking while walking. The children who came to school were jumping and playing happily. What puzzled Nanling Hou the most was that there were so many noble people in the village and rich people were there.

When he thought of coming, he thought that Zhao Jingyun deliberately set up an ambush to deal with him, and he laughed in silence. It turned out that he was thinking too much.

The villagers were so excited that they saw that they were riding a horse, and they were accompanied by a knife, and there were not many who looked at them for a second.

The Marquis of Nanling was secretly angry, just a group of unruly people, one of them was as disgusting as Zhao Jingyun.

Lin Yuan and his wife entered the yard and couldn't help but inquire about the purpose of the Nanling Hou coming to Pingyang City.

"He is collecting debts for the emperor." Lin Qingqian commented with a smile.

Debt collection? Everyone was stunned. What does it mean?

"The emperor has taken a fancy to the wealth that was seized by the aristocratic family." Zhao Jingyun added lazyly.

So that's it! Lin Jingxing snorted coldly, "The prince and the princess were frightened when they were assassinated. Those belongings were nothing more than their compensation to the prince and princess. Why should the emperor ask for it?"

"How much damage does the aristocratic family cause to raise prices to the prince and Pingyang City? Isn't compensation right?" Well, Lin Yi just arrived in the village and was also infected by the protection of his brothers.

Lin Fansheng and Lin Huan are older, have more knowledge and considerate, not as emotional as young people.

Lin Fansheng asked worriedly, "What are the prince's plans?"

"I told him that except for the money that I was shocked, the rest was still used on the people." Zhao Jingyun replied gloatingly. "The account books are all there, and I asked someone to give him the account books. He likes to check the accounts, so check them slowly."

Everyone...

"What the prince means is that the Marquis of Nanling will stay in Pingyang City for a while?"

"He was ordered to punish the gang bandits." Zhao Jingyun directly blamed the blame on the Marquis of Nanling.

"You don't have to care. Just pretend that there is no such person." Lin Qingqian said with a smile, and as he was talking, the female family came too.

The villa suddenly became lively, and Mother Ping began to greet the girls to serve the food. The men and women were divided into two tables, with only a screen separated. The children were on the side of the women's family, and it was very lively.

Originally, the Lin family was worried that they would come over to have a meal often, so Zhao Jingyun would be annoyed. After a few times, they found that Zhao Jingyun actually liked the excitement and loved them even more about Lin Qingqian, so everyone felt relieved.

The Marquis of Nanling led his own people to the inn.

Because they came suddenly, there were a large number of people and the inn was insufficient, and when Nanling Hou arrived, he was not ready to stop lunch.

Seeing this, Nanling Hou was furious. In contrast, he thought of his popularity at the Eagle's Beak. In anger, he simply led a few close guards to the city to find a restaurant for dinner.

Pingyang City has many merchants and restaurants. The most famous restaurants are the hot pot restaurant run by the princess and the Huo family's Zuifeng Tower.

The Marquis of Nanling was interested in inquiring about the news, so he changed into casual clothes and took a carriage over.

He never expected that just going out for a meal would cause trouble. What's even more troublesome is that the other party is not afraid of their large staff.

"Don't you have eyes when walking?" The man opposite is beautiful. It is inappropriate to describe a man with beauty. If it were someone else, the Marquis of Nanling would definitely find it ridiculous. King Jingyue is already pretty enough, but the man in Jingyue is very obvious, but the man in front of him is not much worse than Zhao Jingyun, but he has a feminine aura. If he was not wearing men's clothes and tall, Marquis of Nanling would definitely think that he was dressed as a man.
