Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 816 Death Is Too Disgusting

Yan Mu didn't understand why Gao Yuanwai was sure that his sister would not help, so Liu Yunxiang briefly told him what happened to this woman.

"That fire destroyed her family back then, and the person who set the fire was Li Huai, who represented the government." Gao Yuanwai sighed at this point, "She hates the government, even Mrs. Yang, she doesn't lie, And Your Highness, you represent the government, so..."

Yan Mu took a deep breath, "Her grievances are related to the court's [-]% tax increase in Yanzhou. I can't stand up for their family now. But if she is willing to trust me, I promise her that one day I will give her one." Confess. Please ask Gao Yuanwai and Lingmei to explain clearly about making false accounts, if she is really unwilling to help, we will not force you."

Gao Yuanwai hurriedly nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely bring the words to you."

After Gao Yuanwai left, Yan Mu accompanied Liu Yunxiang to have breakfast.

"It's strange, why hasn't there been news of Li Huai's death outside?" Liu Yunxiang said.

"eat first."

"what?"

"I'll talk to you after dinner."

Liu Yunxiang wasn't very curious at first, but after hearing what Yan Mu said, he couldn't wait to know.She sat down, leaned on Yan Mu's arm, and stretched out her hand to clasp his palm.

"Tell me quickly, I want to know."

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Want to know?"

"miss you!"

"Eat this bowl of rice porridge first."

Liu Yunxiang has no appetite these days, especially when he wakes up early in the morning, he can eat half a bowl at most.She was wondering whether to eat it, but Yan Mu had already picked it up and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

"If he keeps torturing you like this, why don't you let him go." Yan Mu snorted coldly.

Liu Yunxiang glared at him: "What nonsense!"

"Look, you've lost a lot of weight."

"Wait until the month is older, it's like this when Yan was a child."

"So it's a kid?"

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help rolling his eyes, "What do you say you are a kid?"

"You said Yan'er."

"It's early in the morning, are you still awake?"

Yan Mu snorted, and fed her a spoonful, "It doesn't matter whether you are a boy or a girl, they are all less important than you."

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, his heart softened, "In my heart, you are more important than anyone else."

The two stuffed each other with a mouthful of candy, and Yan Mu was so happy that he hugged Liu Yunxiang and kissed him hard.Just as you were talking about me, Feng Zheng came in and grabbed a big bun.

Seeing nothing, looked at Yan Mu and asked, "What are you staring at me for?"

Yan Mu was speechless, and wanted to continue feeding Liu Yunxiang, but she was shy, so she grabbed the bowl and ate it by herself.Yan Mu couldn't help but glared at Feng Zheng again, seeing him munching on the steamed stuffed bun, unaffected at all.

"You can still eat it."

"Is there anything you can't eat? Your Highness won't eat it?"

"I haven't seen you again."

"Can't you imagine?"

The corner of Yan Mu's mouth twitched, "Shut up!"

Feng Zheng giggled, at this time Zijin hurried in, and opened the door with a bluff: "Li Huai is dead! The streets and alleys are rumored to be crazy, and many people even beat gongs and drums to celebrate!"

Liu Yunxiang was funny, "Li Huai is dead, you already knew last night."

"But girl, you don't know how it's spread outside!"

"How did it spread?"

"Tell him..." Zijin was about to say, when she saw Yan Mu glaring at her, she looked at Liu Yunxiang holding the rice bowl, and immediately closed her mouth.

"How else can it be passed on, isn't it just that Li Huai fell into the shithole at night." Feng Zheng laughed.

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang immediately vomited. He vomited several times, but luckily he didn't vomit anything.

Zijin kicked Feng Zheng angrily, "I didn't see my girl eating, why are you so ignorant."

Feng Zheng realized it later, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I didn't think it would be so."

"Then why don't you take this plate of steamed buns to the pit to eat!" Zijin said.

"You don't care where I eat!"

"No one wants to control you!"

"I will have a wife to take care of me in the future."

"You can still marry a wife?"

"Why do you look down on people?"

"Who do I look down on? Except you!"

The two stumbled again, Liu Yunxiang took two sips of the water Yan Mu handed over, and finally suppressed the nausea.But she really couldn't eat anymore, after all, she had no appetite.

"So Li Huai is really..."

Yan Mu slapped Feng Zheng with his chin, "We caught Li Huai first, and I was about to smother him to death with a pillow, but he didn't think it was enough, so he... cough cough... threw it into the cesspit."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Feng Zheng, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You threw that dirty thing on my door and threw Li Huai in, so you have no other tricks?"

"I can cut Li Huai into pieces, and it can also relieve my anger, but His Highness said that no trace of homicide can be left, so the most I can think of is this method, which can not only kill him, but also relieve my anger."

Zijin went on to say: "I heard that the people of Li's mansion discovered that Li Huai was missing this morning. They made sure that he hadn't gone out, so they searched for it for a long time. A servant went to the backyard to go to the toilet and found it. But no one would let him go." People picked it up, and only waited for the officials from the government to come before they fished it up with an iron rake. Anyway, the person was dead, so they washed it with water, and it took a long time to wash it clean."

Speaking of this, Zijin felt disgusted.

At this time, the government also came to report the news of Li Huai's death to Yan Mu.

"Right now, the government office in Yanzhou is in chaos, so Your Highness is invited to sit in charge."

Yan Mu nodded, "I will take over the matter of the Yanzhou government office for the time being."

Once Yan Mu takes over, the matter of the Gu county magistrate will be easy to talk about.

Sure enough, after Yan Mu left, the county magistrate Gu released him before noon.

Mrs. Gu received the county magistrate who specially came to Wanchun Garden to thank Liu Yunxiang, and Liu Yunxiang also met this county magistrate who led the people to dig water canals for the first time.He was very fair and clean, wearing a plain robe, with a bookish air, and he showed two canine teeth when he smiled, which made him a little more cunning.

When Zijin delivered the tea, Liu Yunxiang saw Gu Zian's hands, which were covered with calluses. They were not hands for reading, but hands for holding a shovel every day.

"When does the ancient county magistrate plan to lay stone slabs and stone walls on the section of the canal that flows through your county?"

The county magistrate Gu smiled wryly: "It's not that I don't want to, but because I really don't have the money. Last year, our Qi County was hit by a drought, and our taxes and food were exhausted. How can we build water canals if we have the money."

"What about other counties?"

"They've started to harden."

Liu Yunxiang thought about it, and asked Zijin to go into the house and take out a few banknotes, "This is 3 taels, and I donated it to you on behalf of the Zhenbei Palace."

Hearing this, Gu Zian's eyes showed excitement, and he thanked him again and again.

"Princess, I thank you on behalf of the people of Qi County!"

"Magistrate Gu, you are a good official, and a good official can go even higher. Remember this sentence, always straighten your spine, and never bow your head."

Gu Zian nodded heavily, "The princess taught me today, and the officials will definitely remember it in my heart."

Sending off the Gu county magistrate and his wife, Gao Yuan came out, and seeing his smile on his face, he knew that his sister was willing to help.

"Only my sister has one condition."

"What conditions?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"She wants His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to go see her with you."

Liu Yunxiang was puzzled, "Just a meeting?"

"That's what she said."
