The second child rubbed his runny nose and asked in surprise:

"Aren't you my brother?"

The eldest grandson lowered his head: "From now on, I am no longer your brother, but your eldest nephew!"

"What?"

"The seniority is in charge!"

The second child was confused and looked up at Tian Xiurong... Is this his father or his grandfather?
Tian Xiurong sat slumped on the stool.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder:

"Why does a man have to worry about not having a wife?"

"Let's ask some Taoist priests to do a ritual... I will be leaving in two days. Remember what happened in Youdu."

"Remember what happened with Ning Zhidao!"

"Remember about the new tax law!"

"Xiu Rong, you have to cheer up as soon as possible... I wanted to invite you to Yuping Tower to drink wine and eat dog meat, but it seems it's not the right time. I'm waiting for you in Kyoto!"

Tian Xiurong stood up immediately.

The sadness on his face disappeared.

"I would like to send you my best regards to the Regent... Please rest assured, Prince Regent. After taking care of the funeral affairs in the past two days, I will start to complete the tasks assigned by the Regent!"

"I will take care of these things!"

"I look forward to one day entering Kyoto and eating dog meat with the regent!"

"Okay, I saw you right!"

"Remember, I will keep a few of the dogs in Youzhou City in Kyoto to raise. When you arrive in Kyoto, I will personally cook the dogs for you!"

Tian Xiurong knelt down again:
"My lord, thank you so much, Regent!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan and Amu turned around and left.

Tian Xiurong stood up slowly and looked at Mr. Wen, "Master, am... am I dreaming?"

Master Wen rubbed his old eyes and pinched his skinny face, "Master, it seems, it doesn't seem like you are dreaming!"

"But sir, what I have committed is a heinous crime!"

"Even I, the master, feel that I should be cut to pieces with a thousand cuts and executed in Ling Chi..."

"This is like a dream!"

He looked at the corpses on the ground, walked over, and touched each one, but they were all cold.

"It's not a dream!"

"They are all dead...Master, I poisoned them myself!"

"Prince Regent, he has forgiven me!"

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey...that's right!"

"He wanted to kill a bunch of chickens to appease the people of Youzhou, but he left me, the monkey, to do the important things he told me to do for him!"

"Master Wen, sir, I understand!"

"As long as I handle those things well, my past mistakes will be wiped out, and I can make further progress in the future!"

"Did the regent say that he would leave a few dogs from Youzhou in Kyoto?"

"He said that when I go to Kyoto, he would cook it for me with his own hands..."

Tian Xiurong clapped his hands, startling Mr. Wen:
"The ancestral graves of my old Tian family are filled with smoke!"

"Go, send someone to invite a few Taoist priests, and we will bury them all tomorrow!"

"Master, I have to do something, and I have to do a good job for the regent!"

"Tomorrow morning, take my post and invite all the salt merchants in Youzhou..."

"No, go and invite me now!"

"Let the Taoist priests do the magic here. Master, I will go to the study and wait for them to discuss the plan together!"

……

……

Joy Inn.

Like home, lobby.

The red lantern has been lit.

Zhongli and Ruoshui, who were in the small pavilion by the lotus pond, have returned here now.

The things in the room that Zhongli Ruoshui told were more vivid than those of Xiao Baozi. After all, she was a well-educated lady, so when she talked about those things, she was not as rude and arrogant as Xiao Baozi.

She went into more detail.It's like a beautiful picture.

Ning Chuchu and Xia Hua were still immersed in the painting, as if they were still wandering among the flowing water in the valley and the sounds of nature in the clouds that Zhongli Ruoshui mentioned.

Ning Chuchu crossed her slender legs, took a sip of tea, and rubbed her red face. At this moment, she had already forgotten that she was once a female bandit who made a living by robbing.

She also forgot that she was the fourth princess of Ningguo.

She only knew that she was a woman who had just begun to fall in love and found her destiny!
She is still a girl for now, but now she is extremely looking forward to the night when she becomes Li Chenan's woman.

night……

She looked up and looked out the window. It was night.

Touching the half piece of white silk that Xiao Baozi gave her in her sleeve pocket, Xiao Baozi said that this white silk had been on her body for more than a year!

After taking it out several times and taking it back several times, it finally turned red...

too difficult!
Now that half of the white silk is on my body, does it mean that I have to go through the torture like Sister Xiao before a big red flower blooms on this white silk?

Although Xia Hua was also looking forward to it, she was not as strong as Ning Chuchu.

She suddenly asked: "Why hasn't Sister Xiao come back yet?"

Ning Chuchu said resentfully: "Isn't he back yet?"

Zhongli Ruoshui poured tea and smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Xiao is very skilled in martial arts. I guess she will be back soon."

"As for him...the private sale of official salt in Youzhou is a big deal!"

"Salt is one of the main sources of tax revenue for the imperial court, but the officials in Youzhou colluded with the salt merchants. The amount of official salt recorded in the accounts was very small, and most of it was outside the accounts... which means it became Got the secret!"

"This matter is a bit complicated. I guess he is dealing with it, but it is not that easy to handle!"

Ning Chuchu frowned slightly, "Can't we just catch all those corrupt officials?"

"I'm afraid he has to catch some, but he doesn't have anyone available at the moment... In addition, it seems from some account books that there are still a large amount of salt of unknown origin that is sold to unknown places. This needs to be traced back to the source. Find out where it was sold."

"Anyway, this thing seems simple, but the inside story seems to be quite deep. Don't worry, after returning to Kyoto... he will naturally plow the fields!"

As soon as Zhongli Ruoshui finished speaking, Xiao Baozi walked in from the door.

With all the wind and rain.

Take off the bamboo hat and take off the coir raincoat.

Her pretty face was also filled with joy.

"Sister Ruoshui is right!"

"He is still on the second floor of the west wing in front."

"This man, sister, let me tell you, he has something on his mind, and he will be absent-minded even when he is plowing the fields."

Xiao Baozi came to the tea table and sat down while talking, and said:

"If he is absent-minded, the plowing will be perfunctory."

"That's not beautiful. If the harp and harp don't sing in harmony, why are you up in the clouds?"

"Don't worry about him. Look, sister, I found another strange book!"

Xiao Baozi took out a book from his arms and placed it on the tea table.

Ning Chuchu took a closer look and her eyes lit up——

"Looking for Joy"!
The painting on the cover of the book is meandering, and at first glance it is a rare secret book of the house!

"It took me some effort, but..."

Xiao Baozi looked at Ning Chuchu and raised his slender eyebrows: "This hard work is worth it!"

"I don't know when he will come back tonight. How about we check the details first?"

"Maybe you can figure out some new moves, how about that?"

The four women read the secret book side by side, and even Zhongli Ruoshui was no exception.

As she looked at it, she found that the secret book was much more interesting than the account book.

At this moment, on the second floor of the west wing.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan and his party have returned.

Master Zeng bowed his head to Wang Zhenghaoxuan:
"The Regent is a great talent!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was suddenly shocked. What happened to this old man?
Old Master Zeng straightened up, his old eyes full of admiration:

"These two poems "Compassion for the Farmers" cannot be written by those who are not vigilant, and those who cannot empathize with them...cannot write them!"

"I am ashamed of myself. For the rest of my life, I am willing to follow the regent to the capital to witness the future of the Ning Kingdom, and also to witness the regent's style of creating a prosperous age for the Ning Kingdom!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan swallowed and looked at Li Chenan.

Li Chenan smiled slightly: "Prince Regent, please sit down!" (End of this chapter)
