Jiang Mansion, living room.

Jiang Yuyan is sitting in the main seat, and the person sitting in the first place on the lower right is 'Kang Ning', the former general magistrate of Suzhou, who has recently been promoted to the prefect.

Prefect Kuang picked up the tea cup and sighed: "It's true that things in the world are unpredictable. I didn't expect that everyone in Xiang would now be honored as the commander of the Jinyi Guards. I'm disrespectful."

"Sir Kuang, you are so polite. Yuyan also has to thank you for personally taking me out of the sea of ​​misery." Jiang Yuyan has a good sense of Kuang Ning.

As a judge, he could be considered a benevolent official by personally intervening in an actor's trivial matters. No matter what he thought at the time, he was undoubtedly kind to her.

Kuang Ning was overjoyed. He did not expect that his unintentional move would gain the favor of a commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Although he is now a prefect and belongs to the Ministry of Personnel, the Dongchang is now at its peak, and he has the right to kill the lower-level officials first and then report them. Even if he is a prefect, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang also have the right to directly enter the house to search.

We are all officials, don’t we all know what we are doing?

When the time comes, those people who throw a dragon robe at home in advance and others get the stolen goods will be both shit and shit.

"The commander is making ridiculous compliments, and the subordinates are just doing what they think is right." Kuang Ning said solemnly.

With such righteousness, no one could tell that he was a regular visitor to Baihualou.

Jiang Yuyan picked up the tea cup and said without comment: "Prefect Kuang is here in the cold room. I wonder what you are doing?"

Kuang Ning was stunned. The new commander seemed a bit direct. After hesitating for a while, he asked directly: "I heard that you are sending your men to investigate the properties, fields, and population of the martial arts families in Suzhou. If there is any special ability,

If you can help me, Commander, just ask."

"No need~" Jiang Yuyan refused directly.

When Jin Yiwei is doing things, does he still need others to comment?

After pondering for a moment, Kuang Ning asked cautiously: "I wonder if this investigation of the rich family's family is your intention, or is it the intention of the capital city?"

Jiang Yuyan looked at him deeply, feeling suddenly stressed.

After a while, Kuang Ning began to sweat on his forehead, and his legs and feet even began to tremble.

"Don't meddle in things that shouldn't be yours. I make the final decision on Jianghu's affairs!" Jiang Yuyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Then I will retire!" Kuang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

Even when meeting His Majesty, he has never been under such great pressure. Is this the fear of a martial arts master? Or does Jiang Yuyan have the qualifications to be a king?

After thinking for a while, Kuang Ning shook his head. Anyway, those martial arts families didn't pay taxes to the court, and they couldn't get along with him. There were often some little bastards who liked to act chivalrously and cause trouble for him.

Everyone is not a stranger and doesn't care about his business.

Besides, even though he has the appearance of a king, he is at most a martial arts leader. How can a woman rule the world and call the shots?

impossible!

After the prefect left, Jiang Yuyan sat quietly on a chair, meditating silently.

According to Jinyiwei records, Kuang Ning had several major events during his tenure in Suzhou.

First: rectify the administration of officials.

Second: Kuang Ning repeatedly reported to the court the problem of excessive taxes and grains in Suzhou, and received the support of Zhou Chen, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, to reduce taxes in Suzhou and cancel many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

The people of Suzhou loved him very much and called him Kuang Qingtian."

Third: When his stepmother He passed away, Kuang Ning planned to return to his hometown to observe mourning. The people in Suzhou Prefecture were reluctant to leave him. More than 30,000 people in Changzhou County jointly signed a letter to the court, requesting the court to allow Kuang Ning to return to Suzhou to serve.

Finally, the emperor issued a special decree allowing him to continue to serve as the prefect.

On the surface, Governor Kuang seemed to be a very good official, but Jiang Yuyan, who was familiar with historical books, could see the problem at a glance.

Isn't it true that rectifying government officials means joining the party and fighting against dissidents? Whose taxes are being reduced and exempted? Whoever is happiest can get tax reductions. Those who can organize 30,000 people to submit a letter can obviously be the local gentry.

Dog officer!

But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with her. She's not the emperor anyway. She just wants to do something she wants to do.

For example, when there is nothing wrong, you can bully the Jiang family, so that the villagers can pay less taxes, live more comfortably, and earn more money to buy some delicious Yakule!

After thinking about it, Jiang Yuyan got up and went to the woodshed, where two fat-headed and big-eared nuns were chopping firewood. When she saw Jiang Yuyan coming over, she knelt down and cried loudly.

"Miss, please spare us. We only do what Mrs. Jiang ordered us to do!"

Jiang Yuyan swept the two of them aside with a wave of her hand, patted the dust on her sleeves, and sneered: "Do you think I don't remember? It was you two who came to my house to threaten my mother and make her leave.

You even slapped her in front of me! How bossy and domineering you were at that time.

What did you say at that time?

If you don’t want to go, don’t go!

Look, these words are really powerful and domineering! Why are you so timid now? Why don't you send me away?"

"Miss, we were wrong, please spare us!" The two strong women cried with snot and tears.

In the past, when I followed Mrs. Jiang, who would not look down upon them? For those women who tried to climb into the master's bed, they beat two of them to death with sticks.

Wang Fa? In this three-acre land of Jiang Mansion, they are Wang Fa!

Now they are suffering every day. They have to wash clothes, chop firewood, and clean the hut all day long. They are not given food until they finish the work, and they can only live in the firewood hut. This is not a human life.

Seeing them crying sadly, Jiang Yuyan felt more and more in a good mood and went out: "Come here, watch these two inside, and give me a good beating if they do less work!"

Oh, by the way, what are their names? Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, from now on one of them will be called a dog and the other will be called a bastard!"

"Yes!" the guard in uniform said loudly.

"Spare my life!"

"Hahaha~" Jiang Yuyan laughed heartily, took a few steps and disappeared into the yard.

These days were the happiest times in her life, apart from playing carefree with Lele.

The Jinyiwei behind him was stunned for a moment when he saw this phantom-like Qinggong, and immediately thought that if he could please the adults, wouldn't his descendants and grandchildren be able to benefit from learning a few moves?

Then he looked hard at the two women inside.

"Pah! Pah, hurry up, you two losers!"

"Ah! God, please open your eyes!"

"Bah! If I call you again, I'll beat you to death!" Apparently this Jin Yiwei was working very hard.

…

After returning to her room, Jiang Yuyan looked relaxed and her progress in playing the piano and practicing martial arts improved much faster.

The internal force directly enters the secondary compression stage.

Compared with the vastness of the world, the acupuncture points of the human body are still far behind. If she wants to continue to increase her skills, she can only continue to compress them.

Fortunately, as she practices Xuan Gong, her physical meridians are also constantly strengthening, and she can still easily accommodate the increasingly domineering and solid internal energy.

"Zheng~" the piano sounded faintly.

Several Jinyi guards stationed in Jiang Mansion heard the sound of the piano and quickly closed their eyes to circulate their internal energy. These days, they also discovered that practicing Qigong in the sound of the commander's piano can greatly increase the speed of refining Qi.

Nowadays, being stationed in Jiang Mansion is more popular than going to ransack homes with those martial arts masters.

For them, money can be made at any time, but the opportunity to improve their skills is definitely rare in the world.

…

Suzhou Station.

The past few days have been very busy, with letters constantly being delivered to the capital through various means.

People who can practice martial arts are from wealthy families, and most of them are from gentry families. What does Jiang Yuyan mean by asking martial arts masters to take Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to investigate their family properties?

If we check today, wouldn't we think of searching the house tomorrow?

How can I bear this!

Everyone immediately signed a letter to her.

Wanminshu? For big families like them, one tenant might be enough for them. Which one of them doesn't have thousands of acres of land, otherwise they can be called a wealthy family?

Of course, there is no need to pay taxes on these thousands of acres of land.

…

Beijing, Dongchang.

Liu Xi, who was sitting in the main seat, had a frown on his face. It really made him uncomfortable that the Suzhou group, who were originally full of confidence, turned out to be like this.

His lifelong dream of absorbing kung fu from the distance and unifying the martial arts world was just gone.

But when he thought of that woman's terrifying strength, he shuddered. Even when facing the two palace masters of Yihua Palace, he had never been so powerless.

It seems that the two of them are not on the same level at all.

Now even if she returns to the capital, she has no thought of revenge. The peerless master still has that weird lightness skill, and he is afraid that even in the imperial city, he can come and go freely, which will offend her. Isn't he finished?

He can still tell the difference between a dog's life and his face.

"Report to the Governor, there have been many memorials to impeach Suzhou's new commander Jiang Yuyan recently!" A eunuch came to report.

Liu Xi waved his hand impatiently: "Bring them all here!"
