Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 379 Xiaobie wins the newlyweds

Three days later, Yin Tao set off for Fucheng.

The waterway is very fast, and it only takes two days to arrive.

In the evening of the next day, Yin Tao's boat arrived at Fucheng Wharf, where she was on the boat when she accompanied Feng Wansu to Beijing.

Stepping foot again, Yin Tao, who is not what she used to be, is still very sad.

As soon as he got out of the cabin, Ye Xiuwen, who was tall and increasingly stern and majestic, jumped over from the wooden plank that had just been set up regardless of his image, then looked at Yin Tao and stretched out his hand with a smile: "I came to pick up my wife myself."

Yin Tao put her hand into Ye Xiuwen's and looked up at Ye Xiuwen. It had been a long time since she had seen him. She really missed him.

After they have gone through so many twists and turns, their relationship has become more intense. They can understand, tolerate and love each other better, and they also completely trust each other!
Being held by Ye Xiuwen and walking off the boat, the pier was deserted at this time, only a few people were still waiting for the belated boat.

As soon as the two got into the carriage, Ye Xiuwen hugged Yin Tao so impatiently that he almost messed up his hair. Yin Tao was so angry that he pinched him hard to calm down this overly impulsive man.

"Why, you don't want to leave here anymore?" Yin Tao lightly leaned on Ye Xiuwen's shoulder and joked.

"Oh, I want to go back too, but I'm stuck."

Speaking of business, Ye Xiuwen became serious: "The Xie family's prestige here is frighteningly high, especially since the Xie family's property spreads all over the state capital and the counties below. The officials who came to inspect in the past were probably settled by the Xie family. It's never been mentioned here."

"They've been in business for hundreds of years, so it's not easy. It's impossible for you to bring down the Xie family. You just need to report the situation here to the emperor for a decision. Why bother yourself?" Yin Tao comforted the young man who was only twenty. A man in his early years doesn't want him to work so hard.

"I'm not trying to bring them down, but I'm trying to find out why the taxes here are dropping year after year? Guess what I found?"

"What?" Yin Tao immediately turned her head to look at Ye Xiuwen, she looked so lively and interesting, Ye Xiuwen couldn't help but kiss her first, and then he got down to business.

"This wharf is very large, and there are a lot of people and goods coming and going, but it is fine during the day. The problem is that every ten days or so, a large ship will leave at night, and the goods are loaded at night, which is very mysterious. I Not daring to scare the snake away, the people sent there could only look around, but they couldn’t find anything at all. Cao Jinze wanted to sneak in, but I thought about it, and he has a Kyoto accent, so it’s easy to reveal his secrets when he goes there.”

Yin Tao nodded: "Especially when you are here, others are paying more attention and taking precautions. Don't worry about this matter. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of the county king."

This is the most important thing to do. The emperor said in front of the queen mother that the king of Shanjun should come out to experience and gain knowledge. If anything happened, the emperor and Ye Xiuwen would be punished by the queen mother.

Compared with her son, the queen mother loves her grandson even more.

Yin Tao asked again: "It seems that the local government has also colluded with the Xie family. Even if the Xie family is not in charge of such a big matter, they must know about it and do it conveniently."

Ye Xiuwen put his arms around Yin Tao's shoulders, rubbed his fingers lightly, and said coldly, "Do you know who the prefect of this place is?"

"who is it?"

"The son of Mr. Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who just retired from illness, and the former father-in-law of Yin Bairu."

Yin Tao suddenly remembered that the reason why she chose to go to the capital was because she heard that Yin Boru was favored by the magistrate for marriage. So, the prefect Mo has been an official here for so many years?

"It's him? Didn't it mean that officials would have to rotate after staying in one place for a few years?"

"Not all of them. Some county magistrates will stay in one place for half their lives. It depends on how it works."

Zhifu Mo's father used to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and his family also had children from many ethnic groups who were officials in the court, so it was not without background, so the reason why he sticks to this place is because he doesn't want to leave.

It was the first time for Yin Tao to face up to these things, and opened the curtain to look at the street scene outside. It was already dark at this time, and lanterns were already lit everywhere, and there were still many pedestrians on the street, which was very lively.

"This place is countless times more prosperous than the capital!" Yin Tao looked at it coldly, and was even more puzzled in her heart. Where did the tax go to such a prosperous place?
Ye Xiuwen leaned over and stared outside, also thinking about this question.

The whereabouts of this money is a huge hidden danger, and accidents may happen at any time, which also makes Ye Xiuwen sleepless at night.

And he couldn't tell King Shanjun yet, for fear that he would reveal his secrets. Fortunately, Yin Tao came, so he could let himself breathe.

Ye Xiuwen took Yin Tao to the most famous Zhuangyuan Building here to have a sumptuous dinner, and then went shopping at the night market. There is no curfew here, and you can stay out for many nights.

Ye Xiuwen also bought Yin Tao a peachwood comb at the stall, with a few peach blossoms engraved on it, which looked very pretty.

It was rare to be so leisurely, the two wandered around for a long time like a date, and the people behind them all carried big and small bags of useless but interesting things.

Back to the other courtyard where he lived, Yin Tao followed Ye Xiuwen to settle in his courtyard. This house is not luxurious, but it is extremely elegant, quiet and exquisite.

Cai Lu was busy directing people to find the box and cage and put it away in the wing room, Bai Shao took the maid to make the bed and put Yin Tao's daily necessities.

And Yin Tao went to take a bath, and Ye Xiuwen followed in with the cheek, insisting on taking a bath with Yin Tao, Yin Tao also half-pushed and half agreed.

There were two people stuffed into the tub and it was very crowded, so they got water all over the place, and they didn't care too much. They entangled and frolicked in the water for a long time, until the water was cold, and the two of them came out in their coats, ready to go to bed and rest .

Ye Xiuwen just had a taste of the sweetness, but at this moment he was even more impatient, and hurriedly drove the servants out, telling them to go to rest earlier, so they don't have to watch the night.

People say Xiaobie is better than newlyweds, and Ye Xiuwen is a young man with strong firepower, so he hurriedly put Yin Tao on the bed, and just leaned over to kiss, when he heard a rapid knock on the door, Ye Xiuwen was so angry that If it turns green, grab the pillow next to it and smash it.

But the next moment, I heard the voice of Shan Junwang's followers coming from outside: "Master Hou, my county king went to Furong Pavilion, entered Miss Manman's room and didn't come out, and my subordinates wanted to go to see it, but they were stopped by Mr. Xie. Let me just say that I can’t ruin the good things of the county king, Lord Hou once said that his subordinates should wait for the king personally, we are afraid of any mistakes, so we have come to invite Lord Hou to take a look.”

Ye Xiuwen's anger was instantly extinguished, turned into astonishment and then anger.

Yin Tao also calmed down, and immediately sat up halfway, calling for someone to come in and change Ye Xiuwen's clothes.

Ye Xiuwen turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, turned his head and said quickly to Yin Tao: "The Furong Pavilion is managed by the second son of the Xie family's eldest son, and it is a land of smoke and willows. The girl inside is the number one, but she is also an upright official, and her pipa is like the sound of nature I don't know how many dignitaries, celebrities and poets like this can only look up to her, but if the king of Shanjun spends the spring night with her, it will spread all over the streets and alleys before tomorrow morning. I don't know if this is thanks family's conspiracy, I'm going to bring people back."

Yin Tao was also shocked: "The palace is choosing a concubine for the King of Shanjun. If there are rumors that the King of Shanjun stayed with a famous prostitute at night, I am afraid that he will gain a reputation of licentiousness. The queen mother and the emperor will definitely be furious. To implicate you, blame you for not protecting him well."

Ye Xiuwen frowned and quickly got dressed: "I followed him all the time, and today you came, I just relaxed for a while to pick you up."
