"Let me say it, I will say it!" Caiyue volunteered, "Master, I sent people to watch over these things, I know better than Su Yue."

"Caiyue!" Su Yue felt a little troubled by Caiyue's innocence.

Mu Jieyu didn't care, but waved to Suyue, "Don't hold her back, just let her talk."

"Master, you can't indulge her too much, maybe someday she will be able to go to the house!" Suyue and Caiyue have not been in contact with Mu Jieyu for a long time. Following Bai Wei, Caiyue was trained by Bai Po, so she has a little temper.

"You are jealous that I am more favored by the master than you." Caiyue stuck out her tongue towards Suyue, and then respectfully reported to Mu Jieyu, "Master, you let me watch the prison in Suiyang County. After staring at it for several days, there was no movement. Yesterday, people from the village were sent to sneak in. In the evening, news spread that the strong men in the prison were recruited to dig rocks, and they would send a hundred coins to his family for one day of digging! The slaves verified. However, it is true that many families have been subsidized, which is why more and more people are going to jail, not only Suiyang County, but the entire Chongyang Prefecture. It is a private order, check They are very strict, and for those who are recruited, there will be yamen servants who will go to the house to investigate in person, which is more diligent than investigating the case."

"One hundred coins a day?" Mu Jieyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's even higher than the imperial court building roads and recruiting strong men! After a month, it's three taels of silver. A farmer goes out to chew and use it in a year, and can save money. Three taels of silver is not easy, but it is a fat job."

"That's right." Caiyue nodded, "It's a pity that the people arranged by the servants have not been conscripted, and the tricks are still unknown. Don't worry, the master, the servants will definitely speed up the manpower."

"No hurry." Mu Jieyu shook his head and said, "This matter is a bit mysterious. Since they are so cautious, we have to be more careful. There are certainly people who are more anxious than us about this matter, but are there other things?"

"There is also the issue of Patriarch Qiu's birthday celebration, and my servant also found out something strange." Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "According to my servant's investigation, the uncle of the Qiu family has too close contact with the bureaucrats who came to celebrate his birthday, and this servant always feels that there is something wrong between them. It seems that there is some kind of transaction, but the other party is extremely vigilant, and the slaves can't get in, and they can't confirm the guess in their hearts."

"By the way, the master asked the servant to investigate the Qiu family. If you don't check, you don't know. After the investigation, you really jumped the servant." Caiyue said suddenly, "The servant found out that anyone who has some real power in the six counties of Chongyang All the bureaucrats have different in-law relationships with the Qiu family, and most of the wealthy households in Chongyang Mansion are also linked to the Qiu family, so there are quite a lot of daughters from the side branches of the Qiu family!"

"The Qiu family was everyone in the previous dynasty, and it has been prosperous for about 100 years. It is understandable that the family is huge." Mu Jieyu said lightly, with a smile on the corner of his lips, "But this Qiu family can hold all the minor branches in their hands. In order to use them to expand their power, the ability of the Qiu family's family should not be underestimated!"

"Master, what are you talking about Qiu's family doing? Make the entire Chongyang Mansion look like his Qiu's world!" Caiyue frowned doubtfully.

Mu Jieyu picked up a cup of tea from the desk beside him, took a sip lightly, his clear and quiet eyes like water moon fluctuated, and through the steam rising from the teacup, he looked at Caiyue dimly. : "What are they going to do, haven't you already said it?"
