Sweet Noble Heir

Jiang Du had already drooped her eyes when Bai a Niang mentioned master Jiang. The sight of her clenched hands and bulging neck still revealed his emotions.

Bai a Niang inadvertently glanced at it, and suddenly she was scared to silence. She looked at Jiang Wanbai and didn't know what to do.

Jiang Wanbai coughed gently and said to her, "it's OK. He just thought about what happened in his family, so his mood is a little difficult to control for a while, and it's not aimed at you..."

After calming Bai Aung for a few words, she turned her voice and asked, "the people all feel strange. What about the city Lord? Don't you care? "

"I'm afraid the city Lord would like something to happen to these people." Bai Aung said softly. When she mentioned the city Lord, she didn't mean to respect or love him. "When these people have an accident, their property will fall on his hand."

"What do you say?" Jiang Wanbai frowned, "are there no heirs in these families? The Li family, didn't you say it was the young master of the Li family who had an accident? What about Mr. Li? "

No matter how bad it is, that young master Li should also have brothers.

Bai Aung shook her head and said, "the people who have been in trouble have already had an accident before. It's like the Jiang family. Don't the young master of the Jiang family meet the bandits? As soon as master Jiang died, the rest of the Jiang family said that they were old and weak, women and children. How could they live with such a large family property? Now even Miss Jiang has been accepted by the city Lord. "

Although it was young master Li who had an accident in the Li family, he was already very old. He had planned to hand over the property of his family to him. As a result, Mrs. Li fell down and didn't get up again. Overnight, Mr. Li collapsed and became ill. He left in less than half a month.

A few people can bear the grief of sending a white haired man to a black haired man.

"Do all the people in that city know that this is the Lord's conspiracy?" Jiang Wanbai asked curiously.

Bai Aung paused for a moment and shook her head. "Those people probably don't know. Ah Fu elder brother should have told you that I was the young lady of Bai family, but later because..."

She showed a sad look on her face. She did not go on. After a while, she said, "these things are probably only clear to those rich merchant officials in the city who can contact with the city Lord. Now those who have no accident are basically fawning on the city Lord in the past, or after the accidents of the Jiang family and the Li family."

From Bai Aung's mouth, Jiang Wanbai and other people know that the rich merchants in the city still pay another sum of money every year. The money will not be registered and sent to the imperial court, but will enter the storehouse of the city Lord's mansion. In name, it is the "thanks" of the rich merchants for the city Lord this year.

Before that, they didn't ask for much, but at the end of last year, the city Lord held a banquet at his house and invited all these people to his house for wine. The banquet mentioned that the "thank you fee" would be increased by 10% in the coming year.

"Those who hesitated and did not agree, then one after another happened." Bai Aung said.

"How do you know so well?" Qi Qingxing patted Jiang Wanbai's hand when he wanted to get the orange. He glanced at her and took all the oranges to his other side. If Jiang Wanbai still wanted to take the oranges, he had to go over him.

Bai's mother pursed her lips and said, "I've been to these banquets with the young master of Bai's family before. That night, when he came back drunk, he swore and said it, plus..."
