Because I arrived at night the day before, I didn't see it clearly, but this morning, a crowd of villagers came to ask Minglan behind the screen for peace, and Minglan immediately realized something was wrong. The general manager Wu Guang moved one color at a time, and all the managers all knelt down and sang hello to Minglan; when it was quiet, no one around interjected, and when he returned to Minglan, he was mostly organized.

There are only two explanations for this situation. Either it was like before Yao Yiyi's unit greeted the leader's visit or the health inspection, and everyone in Guyanzhuang had rehearsed in advance, or...

Even when Shicai proposed to measure the land, Wu Guang responded with a calm expression, and prepared the corresponding fish scale booklet and the villager's register, and the crowds of villagers below immediately rushed to help.

Minglan lowered her eyelids.

There is no impermeable wall in the world. Her actions like her declaration in Heishanzhuang can be spoken by any small servant or tenant farmer; the same trick cannot be used, Heishanzhuang can ask her to be unprepared. But Guyanzhuang would not be. Besides, she didn't want to guard it.

Different from Heishanzhuang, Guyanzhuang is the property of criminal officials that was plagiarized many years ago. It has been ten years since the imperial estate had no assets. This estate is in charge of the imperial Guanzhuang eunuch. Few people asked what happened.

Minglan wanted to see how deep the water is in this ancient rock village and how well this peaceful scene can be whitewashed. The Cui brothers went down to measure the land as usual, Gongsun Meng was ordered to visit the tenant farmers, while Ming Lan dragged the chief supervisor Wu Guang to speak.

"...It turns out that Guanshi Wu is a clan relative of Lord Wu, who is in charge of Chuangsi. It is really disrespectful." Minglan smiled kindly like a spring breeze.

"How dare you be a kid, just a relative of nine turns and eighteen bends, with a famous name, so he can eat." Wu Guang bowed respectfully and replied, "After the emperor rewarded this village, the original father-in-law called The little secretary has been working as a errand, but the little one has been in this village for many years, and he has feelings inside and out, so he thought that if the wife and the governor look up to the little one, the little one would like to stay and serve."

"Why is this embarrassing? Yeah Wu is a family member of Duke Wu. It would be unlawful to say it out. If there is a word outside, it will be bad." Minglan showed hesitation.

Wu Guang’s eyes flickered, and his words slickly said: "The little one is a big man, but... my old uncle has a lot of friendship with all the father-in-laws in the palace, and they all say that the governor has always been bold and generous. Children are happy to associate with the governor, and there is nothing to say about it."

The depth of this passage is superficial and level; Minglan smiled and raised her teacup: "Guan Shi Wu said it is reasonable. I am a woman and I have to discuss this matter with the master."

After three days of checking, the Cui family brothers and Gongsun rushed to report carefully, and there was the news secretly inquired by the ears and eyes sent by the Tu family brothers. Minglan listened, and his brows were twisted into a knot, just short. Ordered to call Wu Guang.

After a few words of greeting, Minglan said gently: "I have thought about this before and after. The so-called family has house rules and state-owned laws. Not only has the Gu family never asked outsiders to manage the bank affairs, but I also went to inquire all over the capital. , And several other families dared to call the manager of the original imperial village. After all, it is not reasonable."

Wu Guang's green and white triangular face suddenly darkened.

"...If I really stayed with Master Wu, I don’t want to say how outsiders laugh at Gu’s unruly family, or the parents of Gu’s family are afraid that they will come and scold immediately." Minglan smiled and joked, revealing the shark silk screen. Looking closely at his expression, she bet he would never sell himself as a slave.

Wu Guang's face sank, he recovered quickly, and sighed: "Madam's words are also reasonable, but these fifty or sixty tenant farmers still owe the tenants and debts of the farm, and the previous accounts are not cleared. It’s not easy for the little one to explain to the top."

Ming Lan was slightly shocked. She didn't expect the courage of this servant to be so strong and well developed. At this time, there was a slight noise behind the fan on the side of the hall. She looked sideways and said, "How much do you owe?"

Wu Guang was prepared and opened his mouth: "The tenants who have been in arrears over the years are estimated to be about 20 thousand taels. People eat grains, and there is always a headache. When the tenants cannot pay, they will borrow money. It counts 135,000 taels."

Ming Lan was taken aback: "So many?"

"Oh..." Wu Guang pretended to sigh loudly, "Nothing else, the loaned money is important! The small ones have money, most of them are the money of the nobles above; besides, let's talk about it in detail. The Zhuangzi only rewarded him a year ago, and those renters who owed are also royal!"

Minglan clenched her fingers tightly, and the roots of her teeth were aching. She eased her breath and said in embarrassment: "This is too difficult to do. Guanshi Wu will help me think about it..."

Wu Guang's heart felt loose. He was a woman and a young man. He was observing these few days and knew that Gu Tingye didn't care much about general affairs, and he loved the young lady very much. He was obedient to everything; he thought of this, Busy and diligent said: "Madam, don't worry, as long as there are children in one day, these Larry and miscellaneous people can always handle the madam properly!"

Minglan smiled and sent him away, spreading her palms, all with nail marks.

Next, she kept silent, and continued to ask people to check the Zhuang's affairs, but Tu Hu and Gongsun were so angry, they were going to find the bad luck of Wu Guang and other Zhuang's, and asked her to stop them.

Two more days later, this afternoon, Gu Tingye came back suddenly, replaced the heavy robes and armor, after the bath, dressed in regular clothes, sat on the kang relaxedly holding a tea bowl: "... Close together, the military is neat, and although it can’t be compared with the strict military discipline of Old Marshal Bo, he can still see people. Today I rest for half a day, and the emperor will come to review it tomorrow."

Ming Lan personally brought the fruit from the well water, and said with a chuckle: "Isn't this a face-saving effort? If the emperor really thinks that everything is going well in the army, wouldn't it be bad if everything goes well in the army."

Gu Tingye smiled a little bitterly: "In just a few days, we don't know how to do immortality. The emperor doesn't know the details." But the new emperor reviewed the military for the first time, and it was important to be a facade.

"Speaking of which, Master can breathe a sigh of relief now?" Minglan smiled and peeled him the loquat fruit.

Gu Tingye was eating the sweet fruit, and seeing Minglan’s slender fingers as white as coconut milk, flying flexibly among the golden and fragrant loquat fruit, it seemed that the fingers were also delicious, he watched quietly Stopped her for a while.

"What happened in Zhuangzi?"

Ming Lan raised her eyes to look at Gu Tingye, her cheeks puffed up and dull, and apologized: "I wanted to wait until you were finished."

"Let's talk." The man twisted her cheek and said softly, "What a great thing, let's talk about it."

Ming Lan bit her lip, and finally said what she has seen and heard in the past few days and the ins and outs. Gu Tingye's face became darker as she listened, and she gradually became intolerable, and she slammed her fist on the kang table in anger, and the loquat fruit above her. Jumped all together.

Ming Lan hurriedly opened her arms around the round fruit she wanted to go down, and glanced sideways at the door. Fortunately, Xie Ang led the guards to surround these rooms, otherwise it would be this place, she I'm also afraid that the wall has ears.

"...I didn't make up my mind, until Ah Meng and the others reported news one after another. I was so angry." Ming Lan picked up the loquats one by one back into the small basket made of white polygonatum stalks. "Not only is Tian Zu 20 or 30% higher than the imperial village next to it, but the surnamed Wu also makes tenant farmers do private work for him at every turn, asks for money during the holidays, and increases rent when they come across. Insulting other people’s wives and daughters is not as good as a real beast. A mere manager, despite the rules of nature, has exploited it so far. I cannot tolerate him!"

"Those things they said, I heard them panicking." Minglan threw back the last fruit, her face was unbearable, "Nine in the cold winter, the family has no firewood, only a few single clothes to keep out the cold, kid Some people die from cold sickness, because the rent is heavy, the elderly are reluctant to eat, and some starve to death. This is the case, men and women who have labor have to work in the ground for a day—"

The sick coughing and bleeding have to be dry, the feet have to be dry if they are frozen, the children are crying and crying in the room, and they have to be dry... Tenant farmers don’t want to fight for it, but there is a way. The arrogant inspector's Yamen, there are wolves but tigers and leopards. The tenant farmers are watched to death, and they don’t know to go to the Yushi Prosecutor to file a complaint. After several times of trouble, they were suppressed and called back. The pressure is even worse.

Minglan’s eyes are getting wet, she can’t imagine this scene, she feels anger in her heart. After so many years in ancient times, she has never hated anyone so much. Those women in the house are moths, and they can be said to survive. Forced, because of the society and the system, can you be as crazy as Wu Guang? Minglan really wants to shoot them, one by one!

Gu Tingye’s face was scorching and rainy. He said to Minglan, “I’ve heard a little bit about it, and I don’t know what to do. I didn’t spare my hands to take care of these beasts. You sent them off! It’s just as a gift to Siyamen."

After losing his temper, Gu Tingye breathed deeply several times, and sneered: "I dare to threaten the master, this sleazy thing, I'm afraid I'm tired of living! It's been too long for a comfortable life! What in the palace of the division, Where can there be so many nobles in the world! It’s just because of the kindness of Emperor Xiandi, who used to increase the consumption, and put on a show of fierceness. A Zhuangzi that earns three to five thousand taels a year, but in its twelve or three years, there is actually a debt of twenty thousand taels. Rent? Has there been a disaster here these years, why do I not know? See who dares to come up with theory!"

Minglan lowered her head, silent for a long time, and sighed softly: "If I could have such a refreshing attack, I would have had an attack early."

"What do you care about?"

"It's not a scruples, it's just..." Minglan sighed softly, "Many years ago, when my father had a surname of Qiu, Uncle Qiu believed that the three princes could be the Dabao, but what about the unique insight? When the three princes were placed as the crown prince, Uncle Qiu was impeached and imprisoned a few years ago, and later died in the military. The three princes did not have the emperor's order, and Uncle Qiu died in vain. Until now, no one has reversed the case for the Qiu family."

Gu Tingye gradually calmed down his anger. The battle to seize a protagonist that lasted for nearly ten years almost overturned half of the capital. There were countless civil servants and military officers involved. Under the quarrel with each other for days and years, even if they stood right. It may not be the end of the game.

He felt something in his heart and listened to Minglan quietly.

Ming Lan lowered her voice more and more: "I would rather offend the gentleman than the villain. Although the first emperor collapsed, the toffees and father-in-laws may not be gone. At this moment, they may not be able to fight, but as long as It’s hard to tell if they don’t die for many years. If they hold grudges, think of revenge, and take the opportunity to come behind them, it’s hard to say. After all, tearing their faces and not having a lot of contact are two different things."

In the Sheng family, most of these mentions were made by Mrs. Sheng to persuade Sheng Hong, but it is a pity that Gu Tingye has no elders to rely on.

Gu Tingye closed his eyes, and the big locust tree outside the window was squeaking with cicadas, long and short, just like Minglan's heartbeat, restless and perplexed, after a long time, Gu Tingye breathed out with difficulty. ,

"——Your concerns are reasonable. What do you want to do now?"

"I don't know." Minglan's face was confused, "Those **** bad things that should be killed, I really hate to be able to chop their heads, but unfortunately they are blocked everywhere, and I don't know what to do. However, I think, at the very least, they must be driven away. This Zhuangzi is really ours. Otherwise, I have to raise these dregs and worry about carrying them out all day. I can't even sleep, so... …"

"How?"

Minglan gritted her teeth and finished in one breath: "Can we pay this debt for the tenants, settle it all at once, and send those people away!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Ming Lan hurried to look at his face. He seemed to be taken aback at first, but then he calmed down and thought about it. Ming Lan was panicked and knew that this proposal was pretty Prodigal; the average Zhongming food giant can only spend five or six thousand taels a year, but now Gu Tingye has to come up with thirty or forty thousand taels of silver in one go!

It's not about buying an official, it's not about dredging, or even enjoying it; this quality requirement is actually higher.

Gu Tingye didn't speak any more, only slowly picked out a very fat loquat fruit from the basket. His fingers with well-knotted joints slowly peeled the skin. After a while, a pitted loquat flesh was pinched on the man's slender finger. tip.

A flower appeared in front of Ming Lan's eyes, and a fruit was stuffed into her mouth. Gu Tingye poked Ming Lan's bulging cheek funny.

"This is a great idea." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, his expression relaxed, "I will pay for this money."

Not waiting for Ming Lan to recover in surprise, he turned his head and told Xiao Tao loudly to call someone; Ming Lan had to go into the back room to listen.

"Hao Dacheng."

"Small is here." A middle-sized manager stepped forward and leaned forward.

Gu Tingye put one hand on the kang table, his posture Shen Yue is like a mountain: "You lead a group of people, make Wu Guang and the eight look like them, they are delicious and delicious, and they are persuaded by good words and good words. When you leave the house, you are not allowed to come into contact with people; Ah Meng, you also go, if anyone dares to break in, show off your skills, in short, show me strict!"

Hao Dacheng arched his hands and responded loudly; Gongsun Meng followed out happily.

Gu Tingye nodded, turned his head towards Tu Long, and said in a deep voice: "You go back to the mansion and ask Mr. Gongsun to write a famous post. Go and ask Lu Tongpin from Shuntian Mansion to send two county princes and scholars and invite Xiao Xia. Send two father-in-laws to mention people, and the state inspection department in this place will also invite people to do it. Three days is enough?"

Tu Long has always been safe, and now he clasped his fists.

"Master, what about me?" Tu Hu was waiting anxiously.

"Tiger, you lead people to watch Zhuangzi up and down. If anyone dares to make trouble..." Gu Tingye picked up the silk kerchief on the kang table and gently wiped his fingers, "I have never hired a thug to help out. It's done by killing people."

The white silk kerchief in the man's hand is dyed with light golden color and has a light fruity fragrance.
