Chapter 1426 Full of personal pockets
Chapter 1426 Full of personal pockets
Chunyu Hanfeng took out the folding fan stuck in his waist and shook it: "It seems that there is a big greed in Yufeng County, first report to the court that Yufeng County's grain production is low, and when the court orders that Yufeng County's tax will be reduced by half , he continued to collect taxes from the common people unchanged, withholding half of the tax for private pockets, and handing in the other half to the imperial court, hehe, this is really a good way to make money.”

Yan Xiaosi sighed slightly.

This kind of thing happens because of the underdeveloped communication technology in this world.

Chunyu Hanfeng glanced at Long Yu, and asked Long Yu: "In the past three years, the situation in Yufeng County has not improved at all, so the little emperor never became suspicious, and never sent imperial envoys here to investigate?"

Long Yu said: "How can there be no, it is said that the emperor sent two imperial envoys to Yufeng County."

"That's the officials and officials protecting each other and colluding together."

The conversation between Chunyu Hanfeng and Long Yu made the Yang family and his wife feel worried.

Sister-in-law Yang said: "There are so many corrupt officials and the emperor is far away, so the people of Yufeng County will not be saved."

Long Yu said: "No, the problem of low grain production in Yufeng County has not been resolved and has attracted the utmost attention of the emperor. It is said that the emperor sent an imperial envoy to Yufeng County to check this time. This time the imperial envoy is the emperor's dear uncle."

Everyone in Da Chu knew that the emperor's uncle was the Great Chu God of War, Long Yu.

"Great, the war king Qiansui came to Yufeng County in person, and the people of our Yufeng County are saved."

The sister-in-law of the Yang family was so excited that she almost burst into tears.

"Such good news, I have to tell the village chief as soon as possible, and let the village chief tell other villagers, so that everyone will be happy."

The sister-in-law of the Yang family said that she was about to put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and go out, Yan Xiaosi hurriedly called her to stop.

"Sister-in-law Yang, it's enough for the three of you to know about this matter. Don't spread it out for the time being, so as not to alarm the magistrate of Yufeng County. By then, Zhan Wang Qiansui will not be able to investigate anything, and he will not be able to get the magistrate of Yufeng County to fill his own pocket. Evidence, even the King of War, Qiantui, can't dismiss him and investigate him."

It's not that Long Yu is not afraid of this matter being publicized. Since the previous two imperial envoys have colluded with the magistrate of Yufeng County to enrich their own pockets, then he was ordered to come to Yufeng County to investigate the low grain production. Presumably the Yufeng County magistrate Ling had already received the news.

But it was good for Yan Xiaosi to remind the Yang family.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Mrs. Yang nodded repeatedly.

"I was negligent. Fortunately, Madam Long, you reminded me."

After dinner, Long Yu accompanied Yan Xiaosi to rest early because of the exhaustion of the journey.

Although the Yang family is poor, the house left by their ancestors is quite spacious. There is a main room where the Yang family lives, three side rooms and a main room. The little girl sleeps with her parents in the main room tonight, and the three side rooms Both the main room and the main room were vacated, Long Yu and his wife slept in a side room, Chunyu Hanfeng shared a room, Qin Rou and Qin Yu's sisters shared a room, Wu Longwei and Lone Wolf slept in the main room on the floor.

The Yang family couple knew that the group was in a hurry to enter the city, so the couple got up and cooked breakfast the next day when it was daylight.

The eldest brother of the Yang family sat in front of the stove and lit a fire while asking his wife: "Little girl, mother, you have a good relationship with the village head's family. Now go to the village head's house and ask if there is any rice. cook."

"The village head's wife is pregnant with her second child. It's not bright yet, and the couple probably haven't woken up yet. Another thing is that the village head's wife is pregnant and has rice. It's not easy to borrow. You didn't mention it last night. Why are you bringing it up now?"

The eldest brother of the Yang family lay in bed thinking about it for a long time last night, and thought of one thing.

He glanced at the kitchen door and asked his wife in a low voice.

"Daughter-in-law, let me ask you a question."

Seeing his mysterious look, Mrs. Yang gave him a blank look.

"Why are you so nervous talking at home?"

"Is the son who lives in our house surnamed Long?"

Mrs. Yang nodded in confusion: "Yes, that's the pregnant sister whose husband's surname is Long."

Hearing his daughter-in-law call Yan Xiao four big sisters, the eldest brother of the Yang family tightened his expression, and said quickly, "Daughter-in-law, please stop calling me big sister. Let me ask you another question, what is the surname of the current royal family?"

"The current royal family's surname is Long."

The sister-in-law of the Yang family came to her senses belatedly, quickly covered her mouth with her hand, then removed her hand and asked a man with a pale face.

"Sir, do you mean that the one in the room is the current emperor's uncle, the famous God of War of our Great Chu Dynasty, Qiansui the King of War?"

"Ah."

The eldest brother of the Yang family nodded.

"That man looks good and has an extraordinary temperament. At first glance, he is not an ordinary son. He is probably the war king Qiansui of our Great Chu Dynasty. Didn't the war king Qiansui get married a year ago? The big girl you called just now It should be Princess Zhan."

"Where's my mother?"

After hearing what her man said, the sister-in-law of the Yang family sighed in shock, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

She didn't dare to let the Great Chu Zhanwang and Zhanwangfei eat corn mush with them anymore.

"I'm going to go around the village now. If the village chief's house doesn't have rice, I'll go to another house to ask and try to get a few catties of rice back."

"I'm chopping firewood at home, you hurry up, Zhan Wang Qiantui and his wife should wake up later, I'll boil some hot water for them to wash."

Seeing that my daughter-in-law had already crossed the threshold with one foot, the eldest brother of the Yang family called her to stop and reminded: "Daughter-in-law, since Zhan Wang Qiansui and his wife are here to visit our Yufeng County in private, later, You have to pretend that you don’t know anything, and keep calling them Mr. Long and Mrs. Long.”

"Okay, I remember."

Long Yu and his party got up, and the smell of food was already filling the kitchen of the Yang family.

The sister-in-law of the Yang family went door-to-door asking, and asked several families to borrow rice and noodles, and managed to get together a few catties of rice and a few catties of ashes.

The rice was used to boil a pot of vegetable porridge, and the flour was used to steam a pot of steamed buns. Although there was still no oil or water, it was much better than last night's meal.

While eating breakfast, Yan Xiaosi saw the white and fat steamed buns on the table and asked the sister-in-law of the Yang family: "Sister-in-law Yang, where did you go to get the flour and rice this early in the morning, it's really hard for you."

"Madam Longlong, you are being polite."

After guessing the identities of Yan Xiaosi's group, the sister-in-law of the Yang family couldn't help being nervous when she talked to Yan Xiaosi.

"The daughter-in-law of the village head's family is pregnant with a second child, and the family has stored rice and flour. I went to the village head's house to borrow it and walked a few steps. It was not hard."

Seeing Yang Xiaoya staring at the big white steamed buns on the table without blinking, she swallowed her saliva several times, looking at this rare look, she probably hasn't eaten white flour steamed buns for a long time.

Yan Xiaosi picked up the biggest one from the bamboo basket, reached across the table and handed the white flour steamed bun to the little girl.

"Little girl is hungry, eat one quickly."
