After waking up from the dream, the general's wife lost her love brain

Chapter 63
The carriage that was supposed to go away deviated from the track and headed for the city of Gongzhou.

Qiao Yuan was taken to Zuoling Mansion.

The little maid clung to her uneasily, but she didn't do anything wrong.
state.

Zhang Mao led Qiao Yuan to a residence: "The humble house is simple, I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of Mrs. Ningguo."

He said so, but his expression couldn't hide his complacency.

Zuoling can be said to be the second-in-command in a state, especially with the money he has made over the years, this Zuoling Mansion is vaguely more impressive than the Zhizhou Mansion.

Qiao Yuan nodded: "It's really simple."

Zhang Mao was taken aback for a moment, and then saw the undisguised disgust on the beauty's face: "This bed is too small, and the workmanship is rough. We women in Shangjing are proud that our feet don't touch the ground, so we replaced it with a Babu bed."

A Bab bed is not just a bed, it can be said to be a small living room with a wooden structure. Daily activities including washing can be carried out in this space.

The Babu bed is embedded in the house, taking up almost half of the room. Some women can even grow up in it from birth, without a trace of dust on the soles of their shoes. From this, you can see how complicated the Babu bed is.

Naturally, the cost is high, and a Babu bed costs at least a thousand gold.

"The furniture is all made of ebony, and I can't sleep because of the other smells."

"The gauze curtain needs soft smoke." Qiao Yuan stopped suddenly, took a look at Zhang Mao, and reluctantly changed his words, "If there is really no one, you can replace it with a similar material."

She looked like she knew that Zhang Mao didn't have these things, and felt wronged that she had to sleep in such a place.

It wasn't over yet. Qiao Yuan thought of the big rocks on the roadside that she saw when she entered the house just now.

Generally, such large stones are specially bought by wealthy families to decorate them and add a touch of wild charm.

Qiao Yuan held an exquisite round fan, her slender fingers were more radiant than the handle of the white jade fan: "Master Zhang, I am not talking about you. When your mansion was built, why didn't you spend a little more money to hire a Feng Shui master?"

The beauty covered her lips and hesitated to speak: "Those stones are facing the door, and the popularity of people coming in from the door is abruptly cut off in the middle. In the long run, not to mention the official luck, the extension of your mansion will become a problem."

From furniture to furnishings to feng shui, Zhang Mao's proud mansion was criticized for being useless and even turned into a haunted house.

Zhang Mao's head was buzzing.

Seeing his pale face, the little servant girl subconsciously leaned sideways in front of Madam to prevent him from rushing over in a fit of anger.

Qiao Yuan wasn't afraid at all, and felt that Zhang Mao should be grateful to herself. According to her opinion, the house could become better, so that he wouldn't know what happened when he died.

How many people in Shangjing asked her for guidance, but she still didn't agree.

Therefore, Qiao Yuan waved impatiently: "Don't be stunned. Let's replace everything in this room first. As for those stones, if you have any special hobbies, that's up to you."

The beautiful little mouth opened and closed, and the words that came out were very irritating.

Zhang Mao's face twisted for a moment.

Since meeting with the second prince last time, he managed to get the trace of Zhenbeihou, and even found out that Zhenbeihou's wife was also traveling with him. Mrs. Beihou is going back to Beijing alone.

Zhang Mao doesn't know how far Zhenbeihou has investigated and whether he has any evidence against him, but as long as Zhenbeihou does something here, he will definitely be inseparable. He robbed Mrs. Ningguo who was alone. Come, I want to hold Zhen Beihou in check, I really dare not offend Qiao Yuan at this time.

Therefore, even though he was gritting his teeth inside, he still had to put on a smile on his face: "Thank you madam for your advice, I will send someone to take care of it right now."

Qiao Yuan was finally satisfied, and gave him a look.

The beauty in front of her was dressed in an emerald brocade fairy dress, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a thin neck and fragrant shoulders. Even if she had a disgusted expression at the moment, she was amazingly beautiful.

Even though Zhang Mao was so angry that he was bleeding, he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment by such beauty.

Beauty is a disaster, I don't know what kind of person can restrain such a beauty.

……

Qi Cun, who watched the carriage go away, stood stiffly at the door for an unknown amount of time, with the sun shining on his face, before he finally came to his senses and walked back to the house.

There was obviously plenty of stuff, but it looked empty and unbearably deserted.

Qi Cun sat under the window, this is Qiao Yuan's usual seat, and it seems that there is still the unique fragrance of a beauty.

In the past, Qiao Yuan liked to sit here, with his upper body soft and boneless lying on his stomach, his soft and black hair falling on the table like water, when he heard him coming back, he lazily opened his eyelids and took a look, his watery eyes were like Lily in the mist.

At this time, the man can't help but run over and kiss her between the eyebrows, causing her to give her a slap in embarrassment.

There are Qiao Yuan's shadows everywhere in the room.

Qi Cun stood up in a daze, took something and walked to the field.

In fact, the results of this trip have been fruitful enough, digging out a big cancer that has taken root in Gongzhou for many years.

Relying on the height of the sky and the distance of the emperor, Zhang Mao secretly took advantage of his position to tamper with Gongzhou's taxation for many years, and he was full of fat without anyone knowing it.

He would not be noticed if he fished a little at a time. Unexpectedly, due to natural disasters, Gongzhou's treasury had to be opened to the outside world. The daily expenditure was like water, and it was about to be stretched.

If someone finds out that something is wrong and stabs the emperor, Zhang Mao will not be able to keep the black hat on his head. He can only fill up the public account before being discovered, so he secretly colludes with the minister of disaster relief. You take [-]% and he takes [-]%. .

Unexpectedly, everyone came to take [-]%, and the white rice turned into gravel, which completely exposed the matter.

As long as Qi Cun presents the evidence, the corruption case will be over.

But he felt there was still doubt.

How could Zhang Mao, an assistant leader, have the guts to be obsessed with taxation, and how could he have been secretly embezzling for so many years without being discovered?
Unless someone with high authority is on his side, or even worse, that person also gets a share of the pie.

That person should be far away in Shangjing, controlled from a distance, and his status should be high, even a group of people close to the center of power.

Such a small Gongzhou has attracted so many tigers and wolves.

Qi Cun's eyes were dark and bottomless, and Da Ji was eaten away from the root by such people.

The atmosphere in the tent was dull.

Li Wei, who was bowing his head, looked at his nose, nose, and heart, not daring to raise his head.

The Marquis looked majestic and calmly handled this matter, which was enough to turn the entire Daji court upside down, but a strange thought gradually arose in Li Wei's mind.

Why does Mr. Hou look more and more like the kind of wife who runs away but is too cowardly to pursue her, so she can only use official duties to paralyze her husband.

Qi Cun raised his eyes sharply: "What else?"

Li Wei: "..."

This turbulent look, looks more like it.

The two were discussing something when someone outside the tent suddenly asked to see them.

Qi Cun's subordinates are strictly disciplined, and generally there will be no such interruptions in the middle.

Unless it's urgent.

The person who came in was someone Li Wei had never seen before.Just as he was wondering, he saw Master Hou's expression change.

This is the secret guard arranged by Qi Cun to secretly follow Qiao Yuan's carriage. At this time, he should have gone to the next station, but turned back.

Something happened to Qiao Yuan.
