264 Chapter 253-Punishment

"Yes, Princess of the World!" Zhu Xing respectfully received his orders.

Niu Chang'an lost all his strength in an instant, almost collapsed to the ground, and his heart was filled with only one thought: finished! This is all over!

"No--" Niu Changan suddenly shouted loudly, "You can't sell me...Yes, you can't sell me! I didn't sell my body to the Xiao family, you didn't have my deed of sale, you didn't have the right to sell me. "

Nangong Yue's eyes moved slightly, but he was slightly surprised.

But any big family with a slight foundation will not use a layman who has not signed a death contract, let alone let him control such a large village.However, at this time, he was able to say such things, obviously what he said was true.But what about that?!

Nangong Yue raised her lips and said lightly, "It turns out to be a fugitive slave...Zhu Manager, after a while, you go to the government office to report, saying that the princess of the family accidentally lost a bond of sale. Let them fill in another one."

Power is a good thing, regardless of whether Niu Changan has any physical status or not, whether he is a good people, since he is working in Zhuangzi under the name of Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue says he is a slave, he is a slave!

Niu Chang'an didn't expect this to happen. He was dumbfounded and paralyzed on the ground.

His body suddenly got wet, exuding a smell.

Fearing that he ran into Nangong Yue, Xiao Ying and Xiao An stepped forward and dragged him out. On the way, I heard Niu Changan shouting incoherently, "No...Uncle! Uncle! Help! Help you! Can't sell me! Uncle! Ahhhh—"

Splat! Splat!

The dull sound of the thick and strong wooden stick hitting the skin overlaps with the screams of Niu Changan's heart-breaking heart, and it sounds very sad...

"As for these people." Nangong Yue's eyes swept across the kneeling groundless blood-bearing ground ruffians, and he casually commanded, "Sent to the Guan Mansion, they used to be the fishermen's neighbors, and today they tried to seek the concubine's Life, how to deal with it, just follow the laws of Dayu."

According to the law of Dayu, it is at least three thousand miles away.

Zhu Xing replied, and retreated, instructing people to find people and officials in the mansion to come over without mentioning it.

Outside the courtyard, the board continued to play.

Temporarily unable to find the wooden board for execution, Xiao An simply found a stick as thick as an arm, lifted it high, and dropped it, each hitting it with strength.

Watching the one-by-one hit, watching Niu Changan's skin open, the veterans and the tenants who were watching only felt very happy, and the wickedness that had accumulated in their hearts seemed to have disappeared by half.

Although Niu Guanshi didn't catch it, Niu Chang'an was not inferior to his uncle. Now he is finally being retaliated. God is eye-catching! They are staring at the execution board, only hoping to fight Be heavier and heavier!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The wooden stick still fell on a stick, Xiao Xiao hit a stick, Xiao Ying counted: "...20, 21..."

At the beginning, Niu Changan screamed and begged for mercy, but soon, he had already screamed that even his voice was hoarse, so painful that he could faint to death, but he couldn't do it.Upon seeing him pouting, Xiao Ying immediately poured a bucket of cold water on the head and continued to fight.

People like them who are martial arts are still quite sure about the strength of their hands, enough to beat him to half death, but they can't die!

"... Forty-six, forty-seven..." Xiao Ying was still counting down to the last "fifty".

After the sturdy fifty sticks were beaten, Niu Changan was lying there half-dead, unable to make a wailing voice, his back flesh and blood were blurred, and only a slight fluctuation in his body showed that he still had a breath.

Xiao Ying put a heart-protecting pill in his mouth to ensure that he could survive and go alive to the Northwest Kuyao.Otherwise, it would be too cheap for him to die like this.

Although these fifty sticks can't save the past damage, they can soothe the indignation accumulated for many years, whether it is the tenants around or the veterans in the hall.

I don't know who smashed the first rotten egg in the hand, followed by rotten fruits and rotten vegetables all hit Niu Chang'an, and the tenants also fell down in anger, screaming and venting their hearts. 'S anger...

Nangong Yue did not let anyone stop it. These tenants had already suffered. They were also the time to let them vent their grievances and anger.

Not long afterwards, the servants and humans arrived. At this time, Niu Changan was already stinking, and it seemed that he had fallen into the dung pit and was picked up by others.

In the courtyard, the consul saluted the Nangong Yue in the house respectfully, and took away several savages, promising to take good care of them.And Renyazi didn't dare to neglect at all. After collecting Zhu Xing's money, he dragged away the half-dead Zhu Changan, and vowed to make people alive.

After these people walked away, the yard became quiet, and the veterans felt unreal.They looked at each other, everything happened today is too sudden, so that they have not recovered until now.

The disposal of Niu Chang'an by such a big chess and drums like Shizi Princess is really because the Niu family is acting arbitrarily in order to hide the prince of the world, or is there no other attempt?

The veterans' eyes full of suspicion fell on Nangong Yue, and Nangong Yue did not feel embarrassed about it.It is easy to destroy a person’s trust, but it is not so easy to re-establish trust.

But, seeing people for a long time.

Nangong Yue got up, walked to the door, and said to the tenants outside the courtyard, "I will order a new manager later. From this year, three years of rent-free, three years later, the rent will be adjusted to 20%. There will be no rent increase for ten years. In addition..." she said and told Zhu Xing again, "This cow manager is nothing more than a servant, how can he be qualified to own private property. Zhu Guanjia, you bring some people later, take him All the private property was found, and all the rents received this year were refunded. The rest of the money will be repaired for the tenants in the Zhuangzi and buy a few more cows. In addition, if the tenants have sold their children, you Try your best to buy people back."

Zhu Xing responded respectfully.

As far as Nangong Yue is concerned, even if the rent for ten or twenty years is waived, there will be no impact.However, people's hearts are unpredictable. One year or two will still be regarded as the grace of the main family, but when they get used to it slowly, they will take it for granted. I'm afraid it will happen again.Set a rule that rent-free for three years is enough to recuperate and recuperate. If there is any barren year in the future, then rent-free will be reduced.

As for the new stewardship, Nangong Yue considered it, and finally decided to let her accompaniment temporarily.

A young daughter-in-law had just entered the door, and she was involved in the husband’s family property, and was randomly placed in her room. If it fell in the ears of Xiao Fang’s, this "crime" could not be taken lightly.In fact, at this time, it would be more appropriate to change to the family of the Wangfu, but...Nangong Yue once again deeply felt that Xiao Yi's foundation was still too thin.

Forget it, take your time.

Anyway, Wang Wang is far away from Nanjiang. In Wang Du, she is the biggest! Xiao Fang wants to teach her too.

Nangong Yue's few words were like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan. The tenants onlookers exploded, and they could hardly believe their ears.They confided with the people around them, Shizi Concubine really want to rent-free son? Also need to repair their house and buy cattle?

How good will their days be!

The tenants who had to sell their children had to weep bitterly, and several women covered their faces with their hands and wept bitterly.

Their tenants in Liuhezhuang are finally out!

"thump!"

The witty Yang Pozi was the first to kneel down on the slate floor and kowtowed with her arms raised: "Thank you for your kindness!

Others knelt down one by one after seeing this, and shouted:

"Thank you Grandpa Shizi!"

"The imperial concubine is really the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Our days will be better..."

"..."

Several tenants couldn't help but shed tears while talking. This is because the men had tears and didn't flick. They quietly wiped the tears with the cuffs. After Xie finished grace, they hurried back and went. Family and friends report this good news...

This year, they can all have a good year!

No, not only this year, but in the future, they can all have a good life!

After the tenants gradually dispersed, Nangong Yue came to these veterans again. She looked at them and said with guilt: "The prince Shizi took you here for support. Although something like this happened, But I still hope you can stay here again, and I can guarantee that there will never be a second time." She paused and added, "...if you want to leave, you have to wait, at least you have to wait. I came back from Nanjiang and personally compensated you."

The oldest one-armed veteran stared at Nangong Yue with a scorching gaze, and said after a while, "Do you want to keep imprisoning us?"

As soon as this remark came out, the veterans who had already been quiet again made a commotion. Lily and Baihui couldn't help but take a step forward to protect Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue is not sure, this is indeed one of the reasons.Xiao Yi is in a difficult situation in southern Xinjiang. These veterans obviously still have resentment against him. If they go back now, if they talk about one or two with people they know, it will inevitably cause military turmoil and will be detrimental to Xiao Yi's safety.What's more, Xiao Yi took these veterans to the king for the sake of support, so as to complete the relationship between them and the old prince. Now even if Xiao Yi is not here, she should do this well!

Nangong Yue did not evade his gaze, and did not answer the question: "I heard Uncle Chu say that Niu Guanshi told you that Shiziye brought you to the capital because of the request of the princess, right?"

The one-armed veteran did not speak, and his face was full of sneer.

"Do you still remember what Niu Chang'an just said?" Nangong Yue said with a stern look, "He said that his uncle was the uncle of the princess!"

The one-armed veteran's complexion changed suddenly. If it were not for Nangong Yue's reminder, he would almost ignore it.

The veterans also looked at each other. They all came from southern Xinjiang. Naturally, they knew that after the little princess of the princess, she was the daughter of the Fang family. Since she is a daughter, it is not surprising that a uncle who was born as a slave.

If it is because the princess has pity on them, that the grandfather will take them to the king capital, then why would it be the princess's uncle who abused them?

But the bull manager always claimed that Shizi let him do it.

What exactly is going on?

These doubts and contradictions made it difficult for them to go into details.

The veterans couldn't help but a thought emerged: Are they really wronging the world's princes?

It’s not impossible to think about it. After all, it’s a cow manager from the beginning to the end with the name of Xiao Yi, the prince of the world. They have never seen Xiao Yi from beginning to end... Unconsciously, some veterans started to shake. , I wonder if I was blinded by a moment of anger.Even the one-armed veteran's eyes were not as sharp as before.

Nangong Yue let out a sigh of relief, and at this point, she did not continue to explain.

Now they just need to make them suspicious of what Niu Guanshi said.

Seeing people for a long time.

Nangong Yue's voice was soft, but she continued vigorously: "The Lord Shizi took you to the capital of the king, not for anyone's pleading, but only because you were the old man who had followed the old prince. Just for this, for It’s what Shiziye should do to give up your retirement. Shiziye is not in Wangdu now. Your life will be taken care of by me in the future."

With that said, she walked back to the main seat and ordered Zhou Dacheng to settle the veterans.

The housing that Niu Changan had arranged for them was not a remodeled pig shed or a crumbling dilapidated house, and those houses must not be able to live anymore; moreover, the clothes they wore and the bedding they used were even worse than the beggars; there are these The veterans have some old injuries, and the torture of this year has hurt their foundations. You need to ask the doctor to take a good look...

These things will definitely not be finished in a day or two.

Nangong Yue simply spent money, and Zhu Xing temporarily hired several people in the tenants of the young and middle-aged people to renovate all the houses in Zhuangzi, including building new houses for the veterans, and promising to have enough meals for three meals.

Not only was there money to take, but there were also white rice and steamed buns filled with bread, plus the house was repaired. This kind of good thing was unheard of. The tenants in the village were all excited and asked for a tassel.

After picking enough manpower, some women were hired to cook and deliver water for them.

As for the veterans who have nowhere to live, Nangong Yue will make the decision to let them live in the main house first, and then let people go to the clothing store to buy ready-made clothes and ask the doctor.

Nangong Yue ordered in an orderly way, Zhou Dacheng was so busy with sweat that he wished he could have two more legs and four hands.

Everything is in order.

The veterans negotiated to exit the house, but instead of leaving, they stood in the yard and watched it all.Although there is still alert in their eyes, the unforgettable resentment at that moment has faded away.

And on this side, Zhu Xing finally pushed all the trivial matters to Zhou Dacheng and was reporting to Nangong Yuedi: "Concubine Shi. The only question was asked by Niu Chang'an underneath. The uncle Zheng in his mouth, named Zheng Zhi, is Coming from Nanjiang, he will come every six months, and Niu Guanshi will take away 70% of Zhuangzi's income..."

Before Renyazi came, Zhu Xing interrogated the half-dead Niu Changan as Nangong Yue had ordered.

"How much is there every six months?"

"Niu Chang'an is a mixed person, and he can't remember much, only knowing that his uncle had just given three thousand two silvers before he left."

Nangong Yue sneered, "That is, there are at least five or six thousand two hundred dollars a year..." She recalled and said, "Liuhezhuang handed over the account book may remember that this year's harvest is not good, only pay Three hundred and two silvers up."

Zhu Xing was very sweaty, and he also turned over the account book, but it was good to just see the income. How could this account be so flawed?

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and asked again: "Then the bull manager is really following the princess's uncle?"

"Niu Chang'an said this." Zhu Xing recalled it carefully, and said with some uncertainty, "but the subordinate really doesn't know who the second name of the aunt's aunt is."

"Has the manager of Liuhezhuang ever been changed?"

Zhu Xing shook his head and looked innocently at Nangongyue, indicating that he did not know.

Nangong Yue had no choice but to ask him to find an older wife. The same question was asked again.

This woman-in-law lived all her life in Liuhezhuang, and heard Yan Yan busy: "Sister concubine, changed! Our management has changed!"

really……

Nangong Yue asked: "When did it happen?"

"About a year after the old prince disappeared, the cow manager came." The woman looked miserable, that is, from that day on, their days became more and more bitter," said cow manager, our future master. My family is Shiziye. Shiziye changes our rent every year and uses it to eat, drink and have fun."

They corrupted Xiao Yi's reputation, which made Nangong Yue very unhappy.But she still restrained herself, calmed the woman and asked some things about cattle management, and asked Bai Hui to send the person back.

When Zhu Xing heard it, his face was black. He didn't expect that Xiao Fang was so bold. As soon as the old prince went, he reached his hand into the world's industry! If it wasn't for the discovery of the prince, the world's reputation I'm afraid it's completely ruined...or it's already destroyed! Zhu Xing regrets and regrets. When the old prince went, he entrusted all the property to their hands, but they failed to take care of the prince.

There is really no death without forgiveness!

"However." Nangong Yue thought, "How does the princess know that the old prince left this place to Shi Ziye. How much does Shi Ziye know about other industries?"

Zhu Xing couldn't answer.It stands to reason that when the old prince left these industries to the prince, even the prince did not know it, otherwise it would not be handed over to them for safekeeping.

Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly, and said after a while: "These are not mentioned for the time being, you can check them slowly when you go back. You go busy first."

Zhu Xing responded and retreated, leaving only Nangong Yue still thoughtful.

Liuhezhuang is busy all the way up and down, but for all tenants, this kind of busyness is really good.It was only half a day, and the whole Zhuangzi felt as if it had been completely renewed. This feeling did not come from any change in the appearance of Zhuangzi, but the people here from the tenants to the people under the maidservants seemed to have received a new life, and each one became radiant. Glow, they all see the hope of life, they know that their days will get better and better!

Until he was busy until the sun went down, when the new manager got the order of Lily and hurriedly came, Zhu Xing explained everything to him, and then the carriage of Nangong Yue set foot on the return journey under the setting sun.

She had planned to leave quietly, but she couldn't hide the eyes of the tenants. One pass ten, ten pass hundred... The carriage only drove out dozens of feet, and Zhu Xing heard the movement behind.

When he turned his head to look back, his eyes were red, and the whole person could not move. He saw the dense tenants not far away kneeling on the ground and quietly kowtowing in the direction of the carriage.Even those veterans who were hostile to them also appeared in the crowd, standing and watching them.

Zhu Xing choked, wiped the corners of his eyes, and continued to steer the horse, but his eyes looked at the carriage beside him, and his heart was in awe.

Originally it was only because Shiziye liked it, and because Nangong Yue saved Qian Moyang, Zhu Xing paid respect to Nangong Yue.

But this time, he was completely convinced of her.

He couldn't help remembering that Cheng Yu once told him that a good hostess can not only stabilize the rear house, but also become the help of the prince.At that time, he was just blowing the wind in his ear, and he didn't care much. Until this moment, this sentence came to his mind again.

Cheng Yu is right. It is indeed the blessing of the prince of the world to be able to marry the Master of the Shaking Light!

At this moment, Zhu Xing was convinced by Nangong Yue!

In the carriage, Nangong Yue also learned from Lily's oiling and vinegaring, and the tenants and veterans sent them off, but instead of being relieved, she felt a bit heavy.

Whether they are tenants or veterans, they are simple people who just want to live their lives in peace and simplicity, but sometimes even the meager prayers can become so difficult... …

This way, Nangong Yue has been in deep contemplation.

There are many industries under Xiao Yi's name. So far, she has only read Zhuangzi's account books, and these alone have become frequent chaos.Liuhezhuang is like this. I don't know what about other Zhuangzis, especially those in Jiangnan. She can't go to run in person... She has to think of a way to make a thorough reorganization.

Otherwise, it will only give the villain a chance.

And the bull manager...

In Nangong Yue's thousands of thoughts, about an hour later, the carriage came outside the city gate.

Unexpectedly, the city gate was unexpectedly bustling. The carriage stopped outside the south city gate. I only heard a mess of conversations and noises outside the car. Obviously there are still many people at the city gate... …

Lily quickly opened the curtain and glanced out, then turned her head and told him, "Concubine Shizi, someone is making congee at the gate."

Congee? Nangong Yue was also a little surprised, opened a few curtains and glanced out, and I saw that there were really a few big barrels outside the city gate that were being used to congee. On the official road, some people and beggars lined In a long line waiting to receive porridge.

Nangong Yue put down the curtains and looked away.People who can make porridge at the gate of the city and make it crowded but not blocked are definitely not ordinary people.

Lily thought of this too. Without Nangong Yue's instructions, she said, "Sister-in-law, slave-in-law, go and find out who is making congee..." Then she jumped off the carriage.

After a while, the carriage started to move slowly again... Just after the gate, Lily jumped into the carriage flexibly again. His eyes were sparkling, and he looked very excited and said, "The imperial concubine, who was originally at the gate The congee is from Zhangfu."

When Zhang said this surname, Nangong Yue's first thought was Zhang's "Zhang". Lily immediately affirmed her guess: "It is Zhang Mianzhi's House of Lord Zhang. I heard that Mrs. Zhang was in the house these two days. The monks of Bailong Temple were invited to do things, and porridge sheds were placed at the gates of the four cities in the southeast, northwest, so beggars and people in the royal capital swarmed to the gates of the four cities."

Nangong Yue said lightly: "Mrs. Zhang has intentions."

"However, the guards who originally had city gates helped maintain order, and the city gates were not so crowded. Just now the city gates would be blocked. As long as there were just a lot of people going out of the city..." Speaking of which, Lily stopped deliberately for a while, Then he said, "Those people came from the nearby Zhengyang Town to participate in today's medical dialectic. The dialectic has just ended. They are hurried to close the gate and return to Zhengyang Town."

Nangong Yue was stunned, a little dumbfounded, and said suspiciously: "I remember the post of the dialectical committee was only given to the dozen hospitals in Tai Hospital and Wangdu?"

The day before yesterday when Lin Jingchen was writing a post, Lily was also in Linfu. Of course she knew about it, so she just asked someone for a curious inquiry.

"Concubine Shizi, don't you know," Lily replied with a smile, "Grandpa Lin is going to open a medical dialectic not only to alarm the entire Wangdu, but also to listen to the hospitals and medicine shops in several nearby towns. I said, so I ran to see the excitement. Those who are related have rubbed other people’s posts and entered the venue today!"

This is really beyond the expectations of Nangong Yue.

I don't know if my grandfather had any gains.Nangong Yue originally wanted to change her way to Lin Mansion, but when she thought about it, her grandfather would be tired after a hard day, or go tomorrow.

This is not bad anyway.

Nangong Yue originally planned this way, but she didn't expect that she had been waiting there as soon as she got out of the carriage, and she reported: "Sister Concubine, Master Lin Biao Yixiang came and is waiting for you in the front yard."

Nangong Yue immediately thought that Lin Ziran should come to see her for the dialectics of medicine. She quickly asked Thrush to take Lin Ziran to the outer study in the front yard. After sorting out her clothes, she passed by.

After the two met at the ceremony in the study, Lin Ziran took out a letter and opened the door to talk about the matter: "Cousin Yue, this letter is from my grandfather that I must give it to you personally." Lin Ziran did not I know what it is for, but since my grandfather made this request, he also sealed the envelope with paint, so the content of this letter must be of great importance.

Nangong Yue did not rush to open it, but asked with a smile: "Now cousin, tell me about today's dialectical meeting. I originally planned to go, but something happened temporarily, and I left the city."

Lin Ziran also heard the thrush, knowing that Nangong Yue had left the house early in the morning, and had only just returned now.He also guessed that Nangong Yue didn't really want to know about the dialectic. She wanted to ask her grandfather?

Although his grandfather didn't say it, he wrote this letter as soon as he got home, and he sent it quickly. Now, looking at his cousin's attitude, it seems that this medical dialectics meeting has something to do with his cousin.

If it were before, Lin Ziran might feel inappropriate and want to find out, but now...

He slightly hooked his lips and smiled faintly, saying: "Cousin Yue, you can rest assured, grandfather he had a great time." Yeah, grandfather Lin Jingchen's favorite hobby in his life was medical surgery. In this medical dialectics meeting, grandfather can talk and discuss the way of medical technique with his like, and speak freely. For grandfather, it is also a great joy in life.No matter what the original intention of the dialect is, how important is it?

With Lin Ziran's personality, I'm afraid I can't say good things to make myself happy. Nangong Yue finally completely relieved, with a smile: "My grandfather is happy! I will visit his old man tomorrow..."

After the cousins ​​and sisters chatted for a while on the topic of today's dialectical meeting, Lin Ziran got up and said goodbye.

Nangong Yue returned to the small study room of Fufengyuan, let the girls back, took a deep breath, opened the envelope with a letter opener, and took out the letters.

The letter is Lin Jingchen's handwriting, only one line is written.

But in this line, Nangong Yue read a lot.

Then her eyebrows clenched tightly, her fists held tightly, and after a long time before she let go, she burned the letter to ashes with fire candles.

It was really as she guessed!

-Digression-

Hmm... there really are no cards today.The truth is not here...
