Chapter Seventy-Three: Clever Tongue


Because there were very few people in Tingzhi City who understood Dongying, Xiao Chengjun ordered someone to send the two captured widows to Rongcheng overnight and handed them over to the Minzhou Criminal Department for trial.

Jingnanhou left a lot of people in Minzhou, including talents who knew Dongying, all of whom were in the Minwang Mansion in Rongcheng.

Ting Zhi was already not peaceful, and when it was dawn, Xiao Chengjun took Lou Jing and set off back to Rongcheng.

With an injury on his back, Lou Jing could only sit behind Xiao Chengjun and hug his husband's waist.

Xiao Chengjun patted the head on his shoulder, "If the wound hurts, tell me." ” "Hmm."

Lou Jing rubbed the back of his neck and yawned, although the sea breeze was blowing, it was still hot and humid, and there were injuries on his body, so he didn't sleep well last night.

Xiao Chengjun put a silk cloak with a hood over him, so as not to burn him with the strong heat, and then flicked the reins and rode his horse to the palace of the King of Min.

Back in Rongcheng, the officials of the six departments had been waiting in the palace for a long time, and they saw His Royal Highness the King of Min carrying a person wrapped in light blue silk on his back and went straight to the backyard.

In a glance, I saw the stunning face under the silk, and I was shocked, that face was beautiful, but it was really a man "No wonder the prince doesn't want to offer the woman" Everyone looked at each other, last month they were in accordance with the custom of pleasing the vassal king, and presented a few stunning women to the king of Fujian, who expected that His Royal Highness the king of Min, who would not have thought that the oil and salt would not enter, was furious, and reprimanded them for not doing a good job, thinking about these crooked ways, the officials of Minzhou were a lot more honest for a while, but now it seems "The prince seems to like the south wind."

"Do you say we want to?"

"Let's see, and then we'll talk about it when it's confirmed, so as not to touch another nose dust."

Those Dongying people have already been interrogated, and they are not the Japanese robbers, but the pioneers hired by the Japanese to explore the way.

Xiao Chengjun pondered for a moment, and ordered people to guard several coasts where they could board big boats, and dispatched people to protect the fishermen who went out to sea to fish.

This time, Xiao Chengjun made careful arrangements in advance, asking all prefectures and counties to send officers and soldiers to drive boats every day to guard several fishing places where fishermen gather, in case they encounter Japanese robbers, they can also rescue them in time.

"Your Highness, this errand at sea is always dangerous, the officers and soldiers must always be rewarded, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to collect a penny from each fisherman every day."

Hubu Shangshu bowed down and said, fishermen go to sea, the fish caught every day can be sold for forty or fifty yuan, and it is not too much to pay a penny, and in this way, it also saves a lot of expenses, you know, if this money is from the Fujian Palace, it is not a small amount.

"Do you think the same way" Xiao Chengjun swept over several feudal ministers, some wanted to speak, but they didn't dare to speak, they all lowered their heads, and couldn't help frowning, the qualifications of officials in Minzhou are mediocre, there are no capable people, and they always want to mess around.

"The ministers think it's inappropriate," a thin young official stood up and stammered.

Xiao Chengjun glanced at it, this person should be a minor official in the household department, from a background, and he was looking to fill the position of the six Cao officials, "Why?"

"Xiang, to the fishermen, to ask for a penny, this, this, here, here, in those hands, that is, three pennies, after a long time, it will be thirty yuan" The man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his speech became more and more stammering.

Xiao Chengjun's eyes flashed with a slight smile, "What's your name?"

"Chen, Fan, Fan Jie, Jie" Fan Jie didn't dare to raise his head, and said with his neck shrunk.

"From today onwards, Fan Jie will be promoted to the head of the household, and he will be in the fourth rank."

Xiao Chengjun patiently listened to Fan Jie's bits and pieces, smiled slightly, and directly promoted him to an official.

Fan Jie looked up in disbelief, he thought he would be blamed, how did he become promoted "Fan stammered, don't thank you yet," someone reminded.

"Thank you, Your Highness" Fan Jie quickly knelt down and saluted.

"This kind of money is not in the law, once it starts, the little officials below don't know how much more to add," Xiao Chengjun's eyes were calm, and he didn't go out of his way to look at the Hubu Shangshu who had an idea, but it made the man's face flush, "The silver money for officers and soldiers to go to sea has its own king." ” After the court meeting was dispersed, Fan Jie, who suddenly became a fourth-grade official from a small official, still couldn't react.

"Fan stammered, you kid really got shit luck," Tobe said sourly.

Because of Fan Jie's stuttering, his colleagues always made fun of him, and everyone called him "Fan stammered", and his superiors also screamed.

Fan Jie smiled and did not answer.

Jingzhong, Zhao Mansion.

"Poof" Zhao Xi squirted out the sip of tea he had just drunk, spraying his fifth uncle.

The fifth master of the Zhao family jumped up from the chair, and the maid ring beside him quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it, and glared at Zhao Xi fiercely, "What are you doing?"

"No," Zhao Xi swallowed his saliva, "Fifth Uncle, what did you just say Chen Guifei, you want me to marry the third prince" "Hmph, it's true that my Zhao family is weak and can't be bullied" Although the third master is not in the court, he is in charge of the affairs of the Zhao family, and he understands his own power best, and he will definitely not be afraid of the Chen family.

"This poisonous woman, I want to use this to destroy Jiming, so that my Zhao family has no successor" The second lady wiped her tears, angry.

"Don't quarrel," Zhao Duan stroked his beard, "I have to quickly negotiate a charter." ” Zhao Xi is a rare genius of the Zhao family since the opening of the sect, no matter what, the Zhao family will not allow him to marry into the palace to ruin his future, not to mention, the three princes can't be the prince at all It's just that being remembered by the Chen family for their own treasure is really not a good thing.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Xi, who expected "Hahaha" Zhao Xi held his stomach and smiled on the wide chair.

"This kid, isn't he confused" The second lady hurriedly stepped forward and touched Zhao Xi's head.

"Hey, hey, hey," Zhao Xi barely stopped laughing, pulled the second lady's sleeve and wiped the tears that came out of laughter, "I have a way." ” "What's the way," the second lady couldn't help asking.

"I, tomorrow I will follow my uncle to the court, and I will hit the golden dragon pillar, saying that the third prince will force me to marry him, in order to keep it" Zhao Xi didn't finish his sentence, and was slapped to the back of the head by Zhao Duan.

"How can it be so simple," Zhang Duan blew his beard angrily, "These days, don't provoke the Chen family, come back as soon as you get off work."

After speaking, he threw his sleeves away angrily, and went to discuss with his protégé and Keqing, and the raw materials were not in a hurry to think of King Min's plan, but now, it had to start earlier.

Zhao Xi touched his sore head and muttered, "Maybe the emperor will feel sorry for me, and seal me as a second-class member like Lou Jing." ” The second lady knocked on Zhao Xi's head, "Don't do anything in private, let your uncle and them call the shots, understand?"

Zhao Xi hugged his head and nodded honestly, "Got it." ” The next day, after getting off the Hanlin Academy, Zhao Xi did not go home, but ran to Beiya in a smug and found Zhou Song, the second son of Guanxi Hou, "Hey, Tuesday, do you know how to meet the third prince?"

"The Third Prince" Zhou Song scratched his head, "Seeing is seeing, what are you looking for him?"

"You don't care about that."

Zhao Xi smiled mysteriously, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

For two more days, the children of the nobles of Jingzhong gathered together to drink.

Zhao Xi followed Zhou Song to join in the fun, and saw Guangcheng Boshizi and his second brother, "Who is that" asked Zhou Song quietly, he doesn't often play with Xungui's children, but he has a good memory, and he won't forget if he sees it once, but this Guangcheng Bo's family has never seen it.

"That's Guangchengbo's second son, Luo Pei, the one who almost married the former prince for Lou Da back then."

Zhou Song squeezed his eyebrows and said, Uncle Guangcheng's family has declined in this generation, last year because Uncle Guangcheng took the fourth prince, but it has improved a little, and now that the fourth prince has died, their family has no support.

Zhao Xi was surprised, looked at the feminine-looking Luo Pei, and rolled his eyes.

Because of last winter, Luo Pei offended Lou Jing by his disrespectful words, and the noble children in Beijing were reluctant to associate with him, and now everyone was talking in twos and threes, and Luo Pei and his eldest brother sat awkwardly on the side.

After a round of wine, the little servant reported that the distinguished guests had arrived, and everyone got up one after another, and after a while, Xiao Chengduo, who was wearing the dark yellow prince's regular clothes, walked in.

Everyone greeted each other, and the two brothers of the Luo family were even more attentive, so they almost stuck to Xiao Chengduo.

Xiao Chengduo also likes men, and when he saw Luo Pei's good looks, the smile on his face deepened.

Zhou Song looked at Luo Pei, who sat beside Xiao Chengduo regardless of his identity, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and glanced at Qingyang Boshizi.

These noble sons and daughters drink wine, and the position they sit in is exquisite, according to the title and the rise and fall of the family, no matter how Luo Pei is to sit at the table.

"Hey, isn't this Zhao Sanyuan" Xiao Chengduo didn't care about everyone's faces, and turned around to see Zhao Xi sitting on the side.

Because the name of Sanyuan and the first is too loud, those who can't remember Zhao Xi's name in Beijing call him Zhao Sanyuan.

"The Third Highness said this, it's really a shame for the minister," Zhao Xi got up with a smile and raised his glass to toast to the three princes, "Come to eat with friends, I don't want to meet Your Highness, it's better to meet than to meet by chance, you must have a glass to Your Highness" Xiao Chengduo remembered what his mother said, frowned slightly, saw that Zhao Xi didn't seem to know, relaxed slightly, and raised his glass to respond to the wine.

"His Royal Highness drank Zhao Gongzi's, and that kid should also have a toast."

Luo Pei, who was beside him, was not to be outdone, and also raised his wine glass to toast.

Even if this salute was opened, everyone took turns to go up to toast, and before they ate, they poured the three princes into a round.

Zhao Xi watched everyone take turns to toast, he picked up the wine jug, walked to the side of Qingyang Bo Shizi, and said with a smile: "I often played with Lou Da when I was a child, although the Zhao family is not a hairpin family, but I have been in love since childhood, and I also ask the prince to allow me to call my brother." ” "To put it bluntly, Lou Da is your own brother, then naturally it is also my own brother."

Qingyang Boshizi smiled and toasted.

Zhao Xi smiled and filled him up.

Everyone didn't care at first, and after three rounds of drinking, they realized how powerful Zhao Xi's clever mouth was, as long as it was the wine he poured, you couldn't refuse, so you had to drink glass after glass.

"Ming, you can spare me."

Zhou Song drank so much that his tongue was straight, and when he saw Zhao Xi coming over with a smile, he couldn't help but shake his body.

"I saluted you for a long time, and I can't help you, so let's do it, I'll have a drink with you, and I wish your eldest brother an early birth to a precious son."

Zhao Xi smiled and filled him up.

"Ah" Zhou Song, who was too drunk, couldn't understand what this had to do with his eldest brother, but if he wanted to wish his eldest brother an early birth of a noble son, this wine must be drunk, so he had to pinch his nose and pour it down, and then he fell asleep on the table.
