rich concubine

Chapter 2401 She Taiyan

"Actually, when they first fled here, they were not bad people. They would occasionally come to the town to buy things. There was also an elder there. I forgot his name. They were good people, but they were barbarians. We have always had a bad reputation and were ostracized. The then mayor of Baihu Town agreed to be our neighbor. Our then mayor’s surname was She. He was a very good person. He asked us not to discriminate against barbarians, saying that most of them were barbarians. They are also poor people. We are all the same. After listening to the mayor's words at that time, we were also very friendly to these people and helped them if we could. Knowing that they had fled and most of them were poor, we often lowered our requirements for taking them in and doing things. of."

"What happened next? Why did it get to the point where water and fire were incompatible?"

The old man shook his head and said: "I trust evil people, but they are backlashed in the end. They are barbarians who are good at poisoning and are cunning. We had several wealthy families in Baihu Town at the beginning. In order to tolerate them, we hired some people to work at home, which was a shame. Over the past two or three years, those wealthy families have been unlucky and their families have been in decline. They were either robbers or natural disasters. One family died miserably. Some of the family members drowned, some hanged themselves, and some were raped. Those who were struck by lightning will even kill each other. If the family is restless, disaster will surely happen...

We didn't realize anything was wrong with this family, but when several wealthy families in the town had troubles one after another, we realized something was wrong. The mayor at the time was already old, so he personally went to discuss with the poisoners and the current minister. Give them a piece of land to settle down. The land is not a good one. It is a wasteland, but it is no problem to build a house and settle down. Unexpectedly, the Gu people are dissatisfied with the land and feel that we have occupied a good land, so we gave it to them. They were living in a barren place, and they held a grudge against the mayor. They laughed in front of many people and told the mayor that those who do evil will be punished by death. Later... Mr. She was paralyzed in bed to this day. "

Rong Yi: "These... so many coincidences, are they caused by someone? Those rich families were defeated one after another. Where did their family fortune go? How could Mr. She suddenly become paralyzed?"

The old woman said: "You are right. By the time we reacted, things had reached this point and were irreversible. Those people had evil intentions and used poison to harm us. Ten years ago, I saw us with my own eyes. Boss Wan, the largest cloth businessman here, threw himself into the lake. He was forced to have no way out and was in debt..."

Jiang Shunxiao asked: "The person in charge of the town now is Mr. She's nephew. Is Mr. She still here?"

The old woman shook her head: "They said they had taken Mr. She out to recuperate a long time ago and were not in the town. The person in charge now is indeed Mr. She's nephew. Our place is small and remote, and no one can take care of us. Fortunately, She Everyone in our family is a very good person, and no matter who becomes the mayor, he will have nothing to say to us."

……

They already learned a lot about what they needed to know from the old couple. After lunch, Jiang Shunxiao took Rong Yi to the gate of She Mansion. Even though Baihu Town was defeated, the mayor's house was still quite big.

After all, the two of them had special status, so they still didn't change into their own clothes when they arrived at She's house. Rong Yi had painted her face early in the morning and put on a veil, so she didn't look eye-catching.

After unlocking the door, Jiang Shunxiao raised the token in his hand and took a look at the gatekeeper. The originally impatient guard suddenly changed his tone and let them in.

Jiang Shunxiao spoke in Mandarin with a Beijing flavor: "I have suddenly come to disturb you. Please lead me to see the current mayor."

"plz follow me."

When we walked to the waiting room, the guard went to call the police. When Mayor She came, he looked in disbelief. After seeing the person clearly, he still hesitated.

"Are you from the Liu family in Beijing? I have never seen you."

"The Liu family has a great business, so how can everyone have seen it? I came here on orders because I have important matters. I dressed like this to see the mayor and asked the mayor to include me."

This pure Beijing accent is not something that just anyone can learn. Coupled with his innate temperament, it is difficult for people to suspect that he is a barbarian pretending to be a barbarian.

"How could I not know that someone is coming from above?" Jiang Shunxiao: "The mountains are high and the roads are far away. I don't know how many eyes have passed before an order came to you. I'm afraid that before you knew it, our news had already spread to many people." In the ears of those who should know, it is always right to be careful.”

She Taiyan took a deep breath, raised his hands and said, "I believe it, but you came here suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

"For the Nanman."

After saying these four words, She Taiyan's expression changed. He said, "Are we finally going to take action against them?"

Rong Yi's eyelids trembled slightly and she closed her lips in silence. She didn't need to say anything about this matter. Jiang Shunxiao would discuss it with him.

She was just thinking... When he came on the road just now, he said that he wanted to hide his identity and not reveal that he was a member of the Jiang family. Although the She family did good things, after so many years, the court knew nothing about this place. Who knew this? Where does the mayor's heart go?
She also didn't expect that the token in her good husband's hand belonged to General Liu's family. Although she knew that General Liu had taken good care of him on the battlefield and was considered his half-directed master, the token at home was so valuable. You actually gave him important items?And I actually just found out about it just now.

She was still thinking about this matter, and Jiang Shunxiao said: "You have only been in power for seven years. I want to see Mr. She. Before the barbarians came here, there were three Mr. She. I think he knows better."

Yu Taiyan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. My uncle has been paralyzed a long time ago, and he has been sent to the outside of the town to recuperate."

Jiang Shunxiao frowned slightly: "Are you sure you are telling the truth? Whether he went outside the town or not, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me."

His firm and deep tone immediately made Yu Taiyan stunned, looking at him for a long time speechless.

"Do you think that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away? The news about you has been slow to reach the capital, so I know nothing about you."

"Do not……"

"Don't forget, your Majesty is loved by all the people today, and your eyes are spread all over the nine states. What's going on in various places? Your Majesty knows that it's just a matter of sooner or later. Now he's just sending me, but who will be sent next time? I don’t know, but I know that the people I send next time will definitely make the entire Baihu Town look brand new from beginning to end.”

This vaguely threatening tone made She Taiyan shudder. Looking at his calm face, she didn't dare to bet whether he really knew, so she could only say: "Uncle is really weak. As juniors, we just want him to Take a good rest, you can’t hide it from your master... Please wait a moment, Mr. Liu."
