Chapter 774 Mad Cow
"I thought our Sixth Emperor Uncle was not simple."
Lin Jinxiao said: "Back then my father's death was inseparable from the Weilan Palace, but in the end it was King Changrong and the other princes who subdued him."
"That's fine, he has helped us a lot this time."
Chu Nanzhi smiled and said: "We each take what we need, he wants the power of King Qinghe, and you need a logical reason to go north."
"Too."
But thinking of his unkind eyes towards his wife when he was in Luyan Port, Lin Jinxiao's heart was always filled with resentment.
If he is the real culprit who framed his father, he will not forgive him lightly when he arrives in Beijing.
It's just that he has to go through Yizhou to go north, and the navy is completely useless. How to break through Yizhou City has become a difficult problem in his mind.
Thinking about it just right, but I heard the exclamation of the little treasures from the carriages and horses behind:
"Brother Yunqing, look quickly, it's so lively outside."
Hearing the noise of the little treasures, Chu Nanzhi quickly looked out.
Not far away, I saw a huge buffalo running madly among the crowd, scaring the pedestrians on the road to flee in all directions.
Seeing the crazy buffalo rushing into the crowd, it has already injured several people, and was about to step on a young girl, when Lin Jinxiao saw this, he immediately galloped off his horse and jumped towards the buffalo.
Just when the buffalo rushed to the little girl, Lin Jinxiao stepped over the cow like a dragonfly on water, and quickly picked up the little girl who had already been frightened and overwhelmed, and moved aside to avoid it.
The crazy buffalo charged straight forward and knocked down the thick courtyard wall in front of it.
The guards were also overwhelmed by this scene. After reacting, they rushed into the square in a hurry. More than a dozen people worked together to restrain the crazy buffalo.
Lin Jinxiao handed the crying little girl back to a woman who was chasing her. Looking at the mad cow subdued by the guards, Lin Jinxiao asked sharply, "Who's family raises a cow that indulges in the downtown area to hurt people?"
Not long after, I saw an old man rushing forward panting, and replied in fear and fear: "Reporting to Your Highness, it was raised by the Caomin's family, because the beast suddenly broke free from the cart and roared like crazy, and the Caomin couldn't stop it. That's why this beast hurt innocent neighbors."
Looking at the injured pedestrian, the old man knelt down and begged with sincerity: "Caomin is willing to compensate everyone for their losses, and please punish your Highness."
"Since it was an unintentional mistake, you should go and reconcile with your neighbors on your own. This king will not punish your crime."
As soon as Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi walked up slowly, looked at the giant buffalo panting heavily in the workshop, and asked with a smile, "I wonder how many strong buffaloes like this are there in the old man's house?"
The old man didn't know why she asked this question, and replied with a frown: "There is only one in the Caomin's house, but there are a few villages ten miles outside the city that specialize in raising cattle and selling them everywhere, and you can find them within a hundred miles. Thousands of oxen, many households outside our city of Langzhou rely on these oxen to plow the land."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in thought, pulled Lin Jinxiao back to the carriage, and discussed with him mysteriously: "Husband, why don't you let people buy all the farm cattle on these farms?"
Lin Jinxiao was completely puzzled by her actions today, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing buying so many cattle?"
"Do you want to enter Jingling City as soon as possible?"
Chu Nanzhi asked with a wicked smile.
"Of course I want to go north as soon as possible."
Lin Jinxiao even dreamed of going to the capital to meet his biological mother.
"Then you just listen to me, I will make your wish come true."
Chu Nanzhi now has full confidence in winning Yizhou.
It's just that I can't go north with the little boy, so I can only help him with some ideas.
Lin Jinxiao didn't know what was going on in her mind. Although Langzhou was big, buying so many cattle at once would not only cost a lot of money, but also affect the cultivation of the surrounding people.
But seeing the determined eyes of the lady, he had no choice but to order He Ying to send someone to go outside the city immediately to buy the farmer's cattle.
Chu Nanzhi continued to take the whole family for a leisurely stroll in the city.
Bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstones for the little treasures, and let them pick out some favorite toys, before rushing back to the governor's mansion near evening.
As night fell, the Governor's Mansion was full of guests and friends, and it was extremely lively.
Because Ji Rongheng was going north with the army, the heavy responsibility of guarding Langzhou City fell to Chang Lao who was very prestigious.
When Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao entered, the invited officials gathered around the two elders one after another, discussing the strategy for entering Yizhou.
"According to the Tan Ma Lai report, Tang Yi has strengthened the defense of Yizhou city for more than a month. It seems that he is determined to oppose the imperial court this time and help King Qinghe to help the evildoers."
"What should I do? If I can't get through the Yizhou pass quickly, and wait until the general leads the Qinghe cavalry to the capital, I'm afraid your majesty will be deeply imprisoned."
"Hey, the military situation is extremely urgent, but His Highness still has leisure time to play with the princess. Today, he ordered the soldiers to arrest grave robbers in the city and buy farm cattle everywhere. I really wonder what His Highness is thinking."
Seeing Lin Jinxiaochu, Nan Zhi and his wife leading His Highnesses and princesses into the room, everyone immediately stopped discussing and paid homage to each other: "Greetings, Your Highness, and Wangfei."
"All take your seats."
Lin Jinxiao led Chu Nanzhi to the seat, looking down at the civil servants and military generals who were sitting quietly in the hall, each of them was frowning, recalling the topic they had just discussed, but he didn't want to disturb the interest at the birthday party of the little treasures, his face was calm He gestured and said: "Tonight is the fifth birthday of the childish child. You can have a feast at ease and don't have to worry about other things. As for the king of Yizhou, he has his own countermeasures."
At this time, an official from Langzhou came out to criticize Chu Nanzhi's strange behavior today: "The expedition is imminent, Your Highness should concentrate on the matter of going north to serve the king, how can we mobilize the teachers to do things that are useless at this juncture? The Northern Expedition."
"What does Governor Tan mean by this?"
Lin Jinxiao recognized this person as Shi Tan Qing, Chief of the Governor of Langzhou.
Although she used to be a staff member of the eldest princess, but in the past few years of governing Langzhou, she has been in charge of the affairs of the state government.
Thinking that the lady asked He Ying to buy farm cattle in a big way, which cost a lot of money, he lost his confidence for a while.
Tan Qing glanced at Chu Nanzhi resentfully, and said dissatisfied: "At present, the officials and the old matriarch Chang are already struggling to raise food and pay for His Highness going north, but the princess spends the treasury's money on such insignificant things First, let the military pay raised by the lower officials go to the torch, and requisition all the cattle within a radius of a hundred miles, wouldn't this cause public resentment."
After a pause, he continued to complain: "Furthermore, in order to make up for the lack of military pay, this court has always set up Mojin school lieutenants to rob graves to obtain property, not to mention that the people's livelihood is dying now, and the people are digging up the tombs of the former emperor's tombs." In order to earn a living, there is no other choice, the princess is so aggressive in arresting the tomb robbers, isn’t it completely refusing to leave a way for people to survive.”
"It turns out that Lord Changshi has resentment towards me because of these two incidents."
Chu Nanzhi sighed dumbfoundingly: "Then what should Master Changshi think?"
