Chapter 128 Xiao Junlin steals

"Your Majesty, please!!"

Arriving at the gate of the residence of Wang Lian, the governor of Shu County, and looking at the tall and majestic gate tower and the high threshold below, no one would believe that this official was a good one.

Because this mansion was not provided by the imperial court as housing for the prefect, but was purchased by a private individual.

Unless Wang Lian had a wealthy family and great wealth before he became an official.

Which good official could afford such a magnificent and glorious house, which showed off the owner's prominent status and wealth, like a small and magnificent palace, an amazing mansion.

Not to mention the good officials, even those officials who are less corrupt cannot afford to buy an elegant courtyard here, not to mention the magnificent decorations and valuable furnishings and toys inside. It can be seen that none of them are cheap.

Wang Lian saw Xiao Junlin and Gu Huadun at his door, and a smug look appeared on his face.

He thought that although he had not achieved his goal before, it was a temporary mistake on his part to give this newly arrived prince of Bashu a warning.

But at this time, two people walked in and looked at his house with a smile. Taishou Wang realized that they were shocked by the layout and furnishings of his house.

"It's a nice house."

When Wang Lian heard Xiao Junlin's praise, he didn't know whether he was proud or modest, and said: "Prince Miao Zan, it's just a small amount of money."

But when Xiao Junlin continued to speak, his big teeth that were showing in a smug smile turned into a look as if he had a toothache.

"Your Majesty, what did you say just now?"

Xiao Junlin didn't even glance at the prefect Wang who asked the question, but only cast his cold eyes on the woman who seemed to be very interested in this mansion.

Question: "Like?"

Gu Hua didn't understand what Xiao Junlin meant by asking her this, but she nodded and praised with appreciation: "It's a very dignified and luxurious mansion. I'm afraid that without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver inside and outside, it wouldn't be able to present such an effect."

Hearing Gu Hua's answer, Xiao Junlin's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about today's weather.

"Ye Ping, is my palace in Bashu not built yet?"

"Yes, sir, just built."

"Then there is no need to build a new one." Xiao Junlin said in a righteous tone, "The people are living in hardship now, and I don't want to add more burdens to them."

“Although the residence of Lord Wang is not very good, I have no choice but to requisition it as the new residence of Prince Li given the current situation.

When the disaster is over and conditions improve, and a new palace is built, I will return this house to you. Do you have any objection, Lord Wang?"

"This...this...this..." Wang Taishou was incredulous, and said with a slightly angry tone: "This house of mine is really simple and shabby, and it is really not worthy of the status of a prince."

"The house is simple." Gu Hua pointed at the magnificent house and was amused. "If ordinary people had houses like this, I think they would not be willing to abandon such houses even if they starved to death at home!"

Wang Taishou was so angry at what Gu Hua said that he scolded her with a sinister look in his eyes, "You are a woman and you have no right to speak here. Don't think that you can speak nonsense in front of us men just because you are favored by the prince."

"Don't you even consider your own status? If you dare to say anything more, I don't mind sending you to a mine for hard labor where serious criminals are confined."

Governor Wang was only giving a little face and was not going to leave any for Prince Xiao Junlin.

Knowing clearly that Gu Hua was under his protection, yet still scolding him in person, Xiao Junlin's face darkened visibly.

"You are very good, Lord Wang." The man was wearing a dark brocade robe. He was tall and slender, his eyes were like cold stars, and his eyebrows were cold. "Come here, Lord Wang is corrupt and has accepted bribes. He will be taken to the capital to be dealt with by the emperor immediately."

Wang Lian was full of dissatisfaction: "Prince Li, you..."

“Not convinced?” Xiao Junlin narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly: “Then the governor can tell everyone.

You are a student from a poor family. Even if you have been an official for many years, ask others if you can afford such a luxuriously decorated house. "

The group of Shuzhou officials who followed them wanted to shrink their bodies and pretend to be invisible. This was really a fight between gods and demons, and the little devils suffered.

You are a prince who has just arrived in Bashu, and the other one is their immediate superior, the governor. How should they respond to this?

The fact that Governor Wang was corrupt had become an open secret in Shuzhou.

Six years ago, not long after he came to Shuzhou, his original wife who accompanied him here died of an inexplicable illness, leaving behind a son who later became stupid.

Later, she married the second wife who was the general stationed here, Wei Xingba. Her misconduct was discovered by her husband's family, and because her brother was a general, the family had to consider themselves unlucky and divorce her.

If not for this, the governor Wang Lian would not be so arrogant that he would even dare to think of intimidating a prince who was enfeoffed as a vassal.

Isn't this clearly telling Prince Li that even if you are a dragon and come to the land of Bashu, you will still be suppressed by him, the local snake?

He even wanted to please him, an official placed here by the imperial court to supervise the princes.

Prefect Wang was very angry.

Originally, he thought that he had been in this place for many years, and invited Xiao Junlin to his home, both to show off and to suppress him. In the end, he did not expect that he would be suppressed by others.

He had set his eyes on this house back then, but he framed the richest businessman in Bashu and slandered him to death. Only then did he get the house he had been dreaming of by secretly seizing it.

How can he be willing to give it up to others now?

He knew that if Xiao Junlin really argued with him about this house, he would be the only one who would suffer. After all, he had obtained this house in an illegal way, and with his salary, he could not afford such a house.

Prefect Wang glared at Gu Hua in anger, thinking that if she had said she didn't like it when Xiao Junlin asked her just now, Prince Li would not have asked to snatch his house so calmly later.

"You are an exile, and you should be assigned to the right place." Wang Lian thought that since Xiao Junlin was not making life easy for him, he would also make things difficult for him, so he smiled sinisterly at Gu Hua and said.

Gu Hua shrugged, without commenting, looking indifferent.

Anyway, she would not let herself suffer or be at a disadvantage anywhere. If she left that bastard, she could still have the little cuties in her own home all to herself. Otherwise, she could thank Governor Wang if he could really accomplish this.

"It's not your turn to decide where my person should go. If you don't want to die, move out quickly with everyone in the house..."

Xiao Junlin didn't say anything else and snorted coldly.

As for what he didn't say, let Governor Wang understand and experience it himself.

Gu Hua: “…” When did I become his? How come I don’t know it?

As a result, the Hongmen welcoming banquet held by Prefect Wang for Xiao Junlin turned into a farewell banquet as Prefect Wang and his servants moved out of the house.

When Gu Hua later found out how Lord Wang got this house, she felt that every evildoer has his own evil nemesis.

"You just robbed someone's house like that?!"

"It sounds bad." Xiao Junlin glanced at her and said, "It's requisition."

"To build a prince's palace in this situation would cost a lot of money and labor. Although I don't love my people like my own children, I don't want to make their already difficult lives worse."

Gu Hua did not comment on this, as he was not a good person himself.

Xiao Junhan looked up at the governor Wang who was reluctantly ordering the people to move outside, with sarcasm in his eyes. The woman in front of him had just arrived here and didn't know about it, but as a prince who was going to be established here, why didn't he send people to find out the situation here early?

I originally wanted to clean up slowly after he arrived, but who knew he would insist on committing suicide in front of me.

Xiao Junlin was sitting in the main seat in the hall, looking very handsome. The officials below were sitting on pins and needles. At this time, a woman wearing gold and silver rushed in: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you. Please let my family go!!"
