After the rebirth, the county master was forced to marry by the national teacher

Chapter 42 Letters
"Princess Changle? Are you the princess of Changle?"

She stood up abruptly, and there was anger between her brows.
"I will not accompany you."

He got up mercilessly, and turned around very fast.

Seeing Gu Qingsheng's expression, Bai Lu stepped forward to block Zheng Xueyi

"Miss Zheng, wait."

"Step aside."

Zheng Xueyi scolded Bai Lu.

Gu Qingsheng took a sip of tea unhurriedly
"Bai Lu, don't stop Miss Zheng, we won't force you."

After she said that, Bai Lu moved away, Zheng Xueyi gave Bai Lu angrily a look, and just as she was about to push the door, Gu Qingsheng spoke again behind her

"If she doesn't want her village to be saved."

The hand that pushed the door stopped at the door, the rough skin was covered with thin calluses, the dry and cracked skin after long exposure to the sun was so shocking.

Zheng Xueyi flinched, slowly stretched her hand back, and turned her head to look at Gu Qingsheng

"you know?"

"What about my village?"

"Of course I know."

Gu Qingsheng smiled kindly at Miss Zheng
"I know that Miss Zheng doesn't have much affection for members of the royal family like us. After all, the imperial court is taxing your village very severely. In fact, it's not just your village. These small villages on the border are very tired."

"I heard that there are already many refugees fleeing to Jinchu. If this continues, Miss Zheng's village will also..."

This emperor is a generation of Mingjun, but no matter how much he takes care of, he will not care about this small border village at all.

The letters handed in by the villagers would never reach the emperor.

Now Zheng Xueyi's village is on the verge of extinction. If I compare it to my previous life, I'm afraid it will be a few years...

When she compared it like this, it was as if a severe scar had been peeled off Zheng Xueyi's heart, and when she turned her head, her eyes became sharp and resentful

"Princess Changle knows that our small border villages are going through this kind of thing, but he has done nothing. The lives of us poor people are at stake."

"You are high above, you have no worries about food and clothing, as long as you stretch out your hands, someone will come to serve you."

"What about us? We work hard every day and have to pay so much silver taels. Has the emperor ever cared about our lives?"

"Compared to the emperor, the princess who knows about this matter but refuses to save her is even more excessive?"

She is straightforward when she speaks and does things. Now when she said these words, her eyes were fixed on Gu Qingsheng. Those emotions surged countless times, and finally turned into hatred.

Gu Qingsheng had seen this pair of eyes in his previous life.

"Miss Zheng, I think you may have misunderstood."

Gu Qingsheng saw Zheng Xueyi's annoyance now, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Are all you sons and daughters of the world in such a hurry?"

He took out a letter from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Zheng Xueyi
"I just learned about your village. I wrote this letter some time ago. I thought I would hand it to the emperor when I returned to Jinchu."

The letter was placed on the table, folded very cleanly.

Zheng Xueyi hesitated, and then opened the letter and read it again.

The handwriting on the letter is very neat and elegant, and it clearly describes the oppression and disasters suffered by those border villages, and every word is very pertinent.

The unique aroma of rice paper on the letter made Zheng Xueyi feel mixed feelings, and the letter in her hand seemed to weigh tens of thousands of catties, making her unable to speak at all.

There seemed to be something really different about the girl in front of her.

With a lump in her throat, she slowly put down the rice paper and let out a long sigh of relief
"Okay. I'll hear you."

After reading this letter, Zheng Xueyi's mood became much calmer. Sitting opposite Gu Qingsheng, the hatred just now was gone in her eyes.

Zheng Xueyi, a child of the quack, has never been an unreasonable person.

She has already written this letter, although she doesn't know if she will meet Zheng Xueyi in this life, but the taxation of the village must be resolved.

Those ministers oppressed the people to fill their own pockets, and the voice of the people did not reach the emperor's ears. This also caused the emperor to lose power later, and they suffered disasters at the palace, so they let Chu Zhiyao torture them.

I didn't expect this letter to come in handy here.

"Miss Zheng, as we said just now, the oppression of the village by the court is imminent. If there is no other way, I believe that a person as good at martial arts as Miss Zheng would not be willing to perform on the street."

Zheng Xueyi raised her brows when she said martial arts is amazing, she had a hunch that the little girl in front of her seemed to know everything.

"How...how did you know about me?"

"It does not matter."

Gu Qingsheng said.

"The purpose of calling Miss Zheng here today is to tell Miss Zheng that the expropriation has always been a suppression ordered by the Minister of the Treasury, and it was carried out by General Chu Zhiyao. The emperor didn't know about it at all."

She paused, then continued under Zheng Xueyi's surprised eyes
"And the collected silver is often embezzled. At this time, it is actually very dangerous for me to hand over this letter. It is very likely that I will become a thorn in the side of the ministers."

"However, I can only hand in this letter. The forces in the DPRK and China are circling like tangled branches, affecting the whole body. If one of them is exposed, it is very likely that more interests will be implicated."

Zheng Xueyi has a clear understanding of Jianghu affairs, and although she knows nothing about court affairs, she also knows the seriousness of Gu Qingsheng's words, so she pursed her lips when Gu Qingsheng said this

"What do you want me to do."

No need for Gu Qingsheng to say much, Zheng Xueyi looked at Gu Qingsheng with seriousness and vigilance in her eyes.

That's good, it saved Gu Qingsheng a lot of trouble.

"Miss Zheng is smart."

Pushing 100 taels of silver in front of Zheng Xueyi, Gu Qingsheng's eyes were frank
"For this 100 taels of silver, it will be a pleasure to buy Miss Zheng."

"I want to hire Miss Zheng to be my personal bodyguard to protect me until I achieve my goal."

This time, Zheng Xueyi did not reject Gu Qingsheng again, she accepted the 100 taels
"what is your purpose."

Since meeting her on the street, until now, Zheng Xueyi has not felt any hostility towards the person in front of her, that is to say, what Gu Qingsheng said is not false.

"I choose to keep this question a secret, but you can rest assured that even if you are my bodyguard, Ms. Zheng will come and leave whenever she wants. I will not restrict Ms. Zheng's personal freedom. On the contrary, I will give you absolute time. You will also be given three times the monthly salary of a normal guard every month."

"On the other hand, with you by my side, you can better monitor me, whether I have done anything for these villages."

"It takes a long time to see people's hearts, Xueyi, follow me, you will not suffer."

Originally, Zheng Xueyi was still a little hesitant, but when she heard Gu Qingsheng's last words, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkled
"make a deal."
