Chapter 130 Gossip

Just when Lizhi was uneasy, Lan Qing spoke.

"litchi."

"Ah? What's the matter, princess?" Li Zhi heard Lan Qing's voice, looked up, her face was calm, but she was a little nervous, because she knew that the princess was very smart, and she was not the kind of person who could be fooled at will.

"You don't need to give all three of us. You can eat some yourself. You must be hungry after walking all the way in the morning. We have eaten a lot just now." Lan said with a light smile.

When Li Zhi heard this, she was a little stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses, "Yes, thank you, Princess." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, feeling a little happy but also a little sour. She didn't expect the princess to say such a thing.

"Ahem, Gentle, weren't you curious about who those convoys were?" Bai Qirou cleared his throat and said.

Hearing this, Lan Qing became a little interested, "Yes, sister, do you know who those are?"

"Marquis Changle."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Bai Qirou was about to speak, but Fu Lingshuang who was on the side would not be the first. After he stopped coughing, he hugged the child and rubbed it with a smile, "Okay, I didn't expect our little Shuang'er And this kind of ambition, wanting to be Princess Li's sister?"

"I, no, sister." Fu Lingshuang was held by Bai Qirou, unable to get away for a while, and worried that Lan Qing would misunderstand her, so she explained anxiously: "Sister, always, sister."

"Okay, okay," Lan Qing hurried over to make a rescue, pulled Fu Lingshuang to her side, and at the same time did not forget to speak out her doubts, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

No wonder Lan Qing asked this way. His Majesty bestowed the marriage to marry her into Prince Li's mansion. According to His Majesty's wishes, it was a big deal. Besides, she is the princess who came to get married. This matter concerns Jing Chao's face. Either to congratulate or ridicule, they all came to have a banquet, even though some did not come, they also sent someone to give gifts. A few days ago when she was cleaning the warehouse, she happened to see the list of gifts, and there was no such thing as Marquis Chang Le.

Although Changlehou was not in the capital at that time, the Bai family was not in the capital at that time, but they still brought gifts over as usual. This Changlehou did not move at all.

Bai Qirou seemed to know what Lan Qing was thinking, and explained to her slowly.

"Although he is a Marquis, he is not a serious relative of the emperor. You have only been here for a short time, so it is normal that you have not heard of it.

This Marquis of Changle, called Song Hang, was originally a wealthy businessman in Yuzhou. Five years ago, there was a natural disaster in Yuzhou, and it rained heavily for several months. At that time, there was a conflict with Ao State, and the money and food were tight for that side, so the money and food transferred there were limited, and the person who was working in Yuzhou at that time was a corrupt official. All supplies are gone.

At that time, the people in Yuzhou were hungry and poorly clothed, and many people were displaced. Later, I don’t know who spread the news, saying that the imperial court did not send people to help the disaster. It was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it caused riots among the people. .

Originally, the corrupt official wanted to suppress it on the spot, but who knew that such a commotion would intensify public resentment, and even some soldiers guarding the city joined in, scaring the corrupt official so much that he dared not go out, let alone provide disaster relief.

Later, it was Song Hang, who is now the Marquis of Changle, who couldn't bear the suffering of the people, and directly ordered the delivery of food from other places. If it was too late, Song Hang had no choice but to spend all his wealth and try his best to help the people.

As a result, these credits were falsely claimed by the corrupt official, and they were also rewarded by the court. After the people in Yuzhou knew about this, they were very angry and rushed into the house of the corrupt official, wanting to explain it Who knew that the corrupt official not only did not want to repent, but also charged those people with treason, intending to kill them on the spot, and said that those people were ordered by Song Hang, and tried to kill Song Hang as well.

Who knew that the servants and guards at the scene turned against each other after hearing this, and tied up the corrupt official together. It is said that he was still yelling there after he was tied up, saying that they disrespected the officials ordered by the court and wanted to punish them. As a result, one guard couldn't bear it. Stopped, kicked him directly, the man knocked directly on the table, two front teeth fell out, when he was interrogated later, the words leaked, the people of Dali Temple had to spend a lot of effort every time, To understand the meaning of what he said. "

Having said that, the three of them thought about the scene and laughed out loud.

"Then what happened later?" Lan Qing was still very interested in what happened next.

"Later? Then this matter became a big deal, and the imperial court also knew about it, so they sent imperial envoys to investigate. In fact, it didn't take much effort. Yuzhou was full of witnesses, even the family member of the corrupt official's mansion. Huan also said that he was not a thing, and finally, under the leadership of the corrupt official's housekeeper, he successfully found the supplies sent by the court. In this way, the witnesses and material evidence were all indisputable, and His Majesty decreed that the corrupt official be beheaded .

Later, His Majesty made an exception and granted the title of Marquis of Changle to Song Hang, but although he was granted the title of Marquis, he did not serve in the court, but continued to do business. In the past few years, he still has the title of Marquis of Changle by himself. , to make his own business bigger and bigger, he is already the richest businessman in Dajing, and he is also responsible for the purchase of the royal family. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is as rich as an enemy. "

Speaking of this, Fu Lingshuang also nodded, and echoed: "Their family is rich."

When Lan Qing heard this, she nodded. In times of crisis, not only did she not sit down and raise prices like others, but she gave all her wealth to help the people. Such a heart is admirable, and this Chang Lehou deserves it.

Bai Qirou looked at her expression of approval, took a sip of water, and then said again: "Gentleman, don't make a premature decision, Song Hang is a good person, but his son and daughter are not good, especially His daughter, His Majesty named her the princess the year before last."

Then came another sentence, "In a few days, you will know when the princess Changle comes to your door."

home?

"My lord, does he have an old acquaintance with Marquis Changle?" Before Lan Qing could finish speaking, she realized it before Bai Qirou could answer. No, if she had an old acquaintance, would she not respond at all when the lord got married?
Seeing Lan Qing's tangled face, Bai Qirou stretched out his hand to rub her face, and said slowly: "Silly girl, it's not Changle Hou who has friendship with your prince, but that Changle princess, she I have friendship with your prince," she shook her head again, and corrected: "To be precise, it should be the princess, she herself, unilaterally, thinks that she has friendship with your prince."

Lan Qing: ...
