Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 362 Bullying (4)
"What way?" Wanqing asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"Master Bayan has bluestones. Although Tianqi Mountain is occupied by Beirong, Bayan is still secretly running the bluestone field. Longjing is not far from Tianqi Mountain. In the past, a piece of bluestone was not worth a lot of money. Now Although the war is tight, it is not impossible to buy it, but now the bluestone materials in the entire Longjing Town are dominated by Bayan, even if the other family has it, they dare not sell it, so Madam can't buy it."

I see!That is to say, it is not that bluestone is so expensive that it is unaffordable, but it is monopolized by profiteers and hoarded by profiteers, exclusive business, asking for sky-high prices.

"Master Hu, why don't you go to the back garden of the Dudu's Mansion and see how much bluestone is needed to repair the entire backyard wall of the Dudu's Mansion." That's good, under Shangguan Yeli's rule, if she is a majestic wife of the governor's mansion and can't even buy some stones back, then there is really no need to mess around.

Hu Lin didn't expect Wanqing to treat him so kindly and politely, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help but say no, Wanqing asked Pinghe to take him to the backyard.

The Fourth Young Mistress sat in the main hall and listened to everything, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you even set the rent? Why don't you live in a money house? What are you spending so much energy on repairing the Dudu Mansion? , these efforts will be cheap for the next term, thankless, why bother?"

Wanqing shook her head and said: "I can't live in that mansion. Didn't you hear what Hu Lin said? The Han people in Longjing Town don't trust the government at all. If I live in that mansion with my husband again Go, and the common people will regard Xianggong as an official like Mr. Qian."

The fourth young lady sighed and said: "Your fourth brother is usually too upright, so he has been squeezed out all the time, and he has no money to honor his superiors. Every year, the official evaluation is average, and sometimes it is even bad. So, in This Longjing Town has been staying for six years, and I can’t move it even if I want to.”

The position of the general judge is not small, and he also holds part of the military power in his hands. Mr. Qian is shameless. The general judge should also know something about the situation in Longjing Town, and he should also make a difference, but what he saw on the street today Judging from the situation, Shangguan Yeli, the fourth brother, probably didn't work hard.

In particular, she had two violent conflicts with the Hu people. From the beginning to the end, she did not see any yamen servants or officers and soldiers coming to maintain order. Ordinary people were bullied. During the siege, those officers and soldiers seemed to have disappeared, and not a single person showed up. The entire Longjing Town gave people the feeling of anarchy.

Wanqing comforted the fourth young lady and said: "My husband and I are newcomers, and many things are smeared. In the future, I need more support and help from the fourth brother. Sister-in-law is free, so why don't you come to my place more often? , My brother, good business and good deal, let's work hard and make some achievements, the fourth brother will always have a chance."

This can be regarded as a promise in disguise. The fourth young lady knows that Wanqing has some connections and skills, especially after today's incident, she admires Wanqing very much. After listening to Wanqing's words, she naturally smiled and said to Wanqing After talking for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

Not long after, Yu Xinyou came back. As soon as she came back, she asked in surprise: "What happened outside? Those barbarians have changed their sex, and they are all begging in front of the governor's mansion? There is a long line of people waiting there. A large number of Han people are watching the fun."

When Bean Sprout proudly brought Wanqing back, she told her what had happened: "... Auntie doesn't know, those barbarians are so fierce, they surrounded our carriage tightly... Fortunately, Grandpa Before leaving, I told Pingan to take Liannu and Shupao with me when he went out to protect the young mistress, otherwise, I don't know how it will end."

After hearing this, Yu Xinyou disapproved and said to Wanqing: "You too, you can't act like this again in the future, this time Ping An has brought enough weapons, what if there are no poisonous arrows? You, just watch, Ah Li I will definitely scold you when I come back."

Wanqing didn't take it seriously, and asked her with a smile: "Didn't you say that Master also went to Qian's house? Did you find out any news?"

"The master seems to have a very close relationship with Mrs. Qian. He went directly to the inner courtyard when he was in Qian's house, and had a secret conversation with the lady for half an hour. Their voices were not loud, and I didn't hear anything, just vaguely heard It seems like 5000 taels of repair fee or something..."

Wanqing's face darkened as soon as she heard this, she fully believed that this year's repair fee has not been paid for a long time, since Mr. Qian has left office, she can no longer handle this sum of money. After all, she is not in the officialdom, so she can only wait for Shangguan Ye to leave Come back and solve it.

Shangguan Yeli didn't come back until the third morning, and Shangguan Zimo came with him.

When Wanqing went to the second gate, seeing Shangguan Zimo being carried in, she couldn't help but frowned and asked Shangguan Yeli: "What's wrong with him?"

Shangguan Yeli's face sank like water, "Let's arrange a place for him first." After saying that, he walked towards the inner courtyard, raised his eyes, and saw that the inner courtyard was dilapidated, his face became even darker, turned his head, and saw Wan Qingzheng was discussing with Fang's mother where to arrange Shangguan Yeli, and he turned around and said, "Arrange it in the side room behind the governor's yamen in the front yard. This place is full of female relatives, and it is not convenient for him to come in."

Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and ordered someone to carry the sleeping Shangguan Zimo to the front yard, and sent the doctor to see him. When she turned her head, she saw Shangguan Yeli's deep lake-like eyes filled with tears. Feeling pity, she blinked her eyes, tried her best to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? But I haven't seen you for two days, don't you recognize me?"

However, within two days, Shangguan Yeli's Qingjun face also lost a little weight, and a black stubble grew on his chin. She was really scared at the time, afraid that if Ping An couldn't suppress those people, what would they do?At that time, she missed Shangguan Yeli very much, and wanted him to protect herself with his slender arms, so that she didn't have to face those arrogant barbarians by herself, but she knew that he was tired than her, so he just sent some food. Just like the matter of King Shou, when he arrived at King Kang, he had to explain to King Kang and remind King Kang of King Shou's defection. Whether to report to the emperor or not had to be discussed with King Kang.
