Chapter 190 190: Know the truth

Ye Li: "It's fine if you don't regret it." As he said that, he wanted to take a bowl to fill the porridge.

Xiao Cui looked at Ye Li's back, hesitated for a long time before summoning up the courage to say, "Miss Lin, can I ask you something?"

Ye Li didn't need Xiaocui to speak, he knew what she wanted from him, turned around and asked calmly, "Do you want me to help you beg Mrs. Zhao to marry you?"

Xiao Cui shook her head, "It's not Madam, it's Missy."

Ye Li frowned instantly after hearing this. It would be easy to say if her deed of selling herself was in Mrs. Zhao's hands. After getting along these days, Ye Li could also see that Mrs. Zhao is not that bitter and mean person, but Zhao Qing is hard to say. .

Ye Li didn't hide it and said directly: "If your deed of sale is with Mrs. Zhao, I can go and talk about it for you, but it will be troublesome with Zhao Qing. You also know that Zhao Qing has always hated me, I'm afraid Let me tell you, not only won’t help you, but it will hurt you.”

After hearing this, Xiao Cui gave a wry smile, "I know."

Ye Li couldn't bear her sadness and comforted her: "However, this matter may not be what will happen, you go to confirm Anping's mind now, if you two really hit it off, I will figure out the rest."

A hint of surprise appeared on Xiaocui's face, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lin."

Ye Li: "Don't get excited, let's talk about it when it's over."

Because he was in a hurry to go to the town, Ye Li didn't waste time, he finished his porridge, drank a bowl in a hurry, and was about to go out when Xiao Cui quickly followed.

If she wanted to go out, she could only follow Ye Li, otherwise Mrs. Zhao would not let her out alone, and Ye Li just turned a blind eye to the beauty of an adult.

Arriving in the town in a hurry, Ye Li stood at the entrance of the town and hesitated for a while, then walked towards the bookstore.In fact, the restaurant is the best place to inquire about news, but Ye Li has never been there a few times, so he changed to a familiar place because he was afraid that people would not tell her.

The books in their bookstore here are all from the capital, and I think this Xiaoer can know some news more or less.

The guards following Ye Li saw Ye Li enter the bookstore, and didn't think much about it. After all, every time their princess came to buy books, who knew she would come here to inquire about news.

As soon as Ye Li entered the bookstore, Xiao Er happily greeted him, "Miss Lin, you are here."

Ye Li nodded lightly.

Xiaoer didn't care about Ye Li's attitude, and continued to ask enthusiastically: "Why are you and your two young masters alone this time?"

"They didn't follow this time, have you got any new books recently?" Ye Li asked casually while looking at the situation of the bookstore.

Xiaoer immediately replied happily after hearing this: "Yes, it's a coincidence that you came here. A batch of new books just came from the capital yesterday. They are all the latest ones. We haven't started selling them here yet!"

When Ye Li heard that he just arrived yesterday, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he pretended to mutter: "I came from the capital, so is it easy to go on the road now?"

In the past, there were refugees on the road, and their deliverers had to walk for more than ten days to arrive, so Ye Li asked this question, Xiao Er didn't think much about it.

"Why are you leaving? Not only are there no fewer refugees, but they have also increased." Xiaoer subconsciously replied.

Ye Li was shocked after hearing this, and asked curiously: "Isn't it raining? Why are there more refugees? Shouldn't they settle down? I think our side has almost recovered."

Because there was no one in the store, Xiao Er was willing to talk to Ye Liduo, and simply said: "That's our side, we don't know anything."

"Although it's raining, the imperial court didn't take any measures. Instead, it increased the tax. Who can grow the land!"

"If you have the money to farm the land, it's better to be a refugee in the capital. If you have that good man who stutters you, you won't starve to death. If you go back to farm the land and fail to pay taxes, then you will die." Xiaoer said embarrassingly.

Ye Li frowned, "Why would the court increase the tax when it's so well-behaved?"

Xiao Er looked around and saw no one, so he whispered to Ye Li: "Where is the court doing well, this is almost over."

"I heard that King Xiao in the northwest rebelled."

After hearing this, Ye Li's heart skipped a beat. King Xiao of the Northwest is Lin Xiao.

"When did it happen?" Ye Li asked seriously.

Xiao Er thought for a while, "It should be Chinese New Year."

Ye Li pretended to be puzzled and said: "I remember that King Xiao was still beating barbarians during the Chinese New Year? Why did he suddenly rebel?"

Xiaoer: "I heard that King Xiao repelled the barbarians on New Year's Day."

Ye Li: "Isn't it good to beat back the barbarians? How could King Xiao rebel?"

Xiaoer: "This matter can't be said for sure. The public says the public is right and the woman says the woman is right."

"The court said that King Xiao defeated the barbarians and asked King Xiao to return to Beijing to confer the title, but King Xiao refused to go back."

Ye Li couldn't wait to ask: "What about King Xiao?"

Xiao Er: "King Xiao's side is complicated. He just threw out the evidence that the emperor plotted against King Xiao. I heard that as long as King Xiao returns to the capital, his life will be lost."

"Besides, the rebellion of Prince Xiao's Mansion was also framed by others before. It was because they felt that Prince Xiao's Mansion was too powerful and affected that person's status. That's why this happened."

"King Xiao didn't dare to go back, and the emperor urged King Xiao to go back. The two of them remained in a stalemate. I don't know what the emperor thought. This King Xiao had just won a battle. Not only did he not reward him a lot, but he also sent his generals to sneak attack King Xiao, this King Xiao rebelled in a fit of anger."

Ye Li glanced at Xiao Er lightly, and asked curiously: "Prince Xiao rebelled, why do I see you so happy?"

Xiao Er: "Of course I'm happy. King Xiao came from us. If King Xiao becomes prosperous, we will also benefit from it."

"Besides, Prince Xiao's Mansion used to be the gate of the Northwest. How many good things have been done for us people, that is the God of War in our hearts. Can you not be happy?"

"I heard that as long as the cities that were brought down by King Xiao are exempted from taxes, those refugees are all going to the northwest!"

After hearing Xiao Er's words, Ye Li gradually calmed down. It seemed that this wolf with a big tail had already thought about it and kept it from himself.

Ye Li smiled lightly after hearing this, and joked, "I didn't expect you to know a lot?"

Xiaoer: "I'm on guard here every day, and I like to inquire about it when I have nothing to do, but if I tell you this, don't tell others. Our guards seem to have a problem with King Xiao. If we let him know, our Little lives are in danger.”

Ye Li: "Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped, and I'm in the countryside, so no one will understand me if I say it!"

"Okay, wrap up these new books for me!"

When Xiao Er heard that she wanted so much, she couldn't close her mouth with joy, "Hey, I'll wrap it up for you."
