The afternoon before Xiao Jingyang arrived in Yuezhou

Su Zhai

"boom!!!"

Jamel Xiao was so angry that he slapped the mahogany table where Mei Changsu usually made tea. His eyes were full of anger and his brows were furrowed, as if he might commit murder at the next moment.

"How dare they!! How dare they?"

Jamel Xiao gritted his teeth and said this sentence.

Mei Changsu calmly folded up the information that Jamel Xiao had just read, and then placed it in the fire beside it.

Although his expression was calm, his hands could not help but tremble a little. One can imagine how angry he was in his heart.

"Five thousand taels of silver! That's a total of five thousand taels of silver. Yuezhou is the state that suffered the most serious disaster this time. According to legend, all the people in Yuezhou have exchanged their children and eaten. How could the Yuezhou prefect dare to loot five thousand taels of silver?

People’s fat and people’s anointing?”

Jamel Xiao really wished he could lead his troops to defeat the Yuezhou County Government now. That Li Han would be cut to pieces with a thousand cuts.

"Now that the princeling party has fallen, the wings of the Prince Yu's party will naturally have to hug this thigh tightly." Mei Changsu said in a calm tone:

"This year's gift is of course indispensable. This year they were able to collect more than five thousand taels. You can imagine how many corrupt and illegal things they did every year in the past."

Jamel Xiao really became more and more angry as he thought about it. He stood up in anger and hurriedly walked towards the secret passage at the back.

Upon seeing this, Mei Changsu stood up quickly and grabbed Jamel Xiao.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm going to report to His Majesty!" Jamel Xiao turned around and said angrily:

"How could His Majesty not rule on such a big matter? How could they not pay the price?"

"If you go to see His Majesty like this now, do you think our Majesty will think this is a false accusation? Is it you, the newly ascended prince, who wants to suppress King Yu, or is it true that there is something going on in the five states?" Mei Changsu said with a serious face.

:

"At times like this, we should be even more cautious. You have to know that one step is wrong and the next is wrong. This matter must not be thrown out by you."

"What should we do?" Jamel Xiao was also hot-headed, but after hearing Mei Changsu's analysis, he calmed down.

"There should be an accuser in this matter who goes to the head of the Criminal Department!" Mei Changsu sat down again with Xiao Jamel, and then began to analyze the situation.

"The Ministry of Justice today is completely different from the past. Once Mr. Cai hears that there are reports of grievances, he will immediately send someone to investigate."

"Let Mr. Cai do everything. That's what is truly justified."

"Wouldn't it be delayed for a few more days?" Jamel Xiao said angrily.

"Yeah!" Mei Changsu nodded, and then said:

"It's not like we're doing nothing these days."

"I have sent my brothers from the Jiangzuo Alliance. The news has spread to Yuezhou. By then, the people will be in a rage and resentment will be overwhelming."

"Isn't Jingyang in Yuezhou? As a member of the royal family and an imperial envoy for disaster relief, it would not be considered a violation of the rules for him to come forward to listen to the people's grievances."

"Master Cai will send people to investigate when the time comes, and with the intelligence collected by Jingyang, those corrupt officials will definitely suffer an unbearable blow."

"Yes!" Jamel Xiao felt that it made sense after hearing this, nodded and said:

"Do you need me to write a letter to Jingyang?"

"No!" Mei Changsu shook his head.

"You have to pretend not to know about this matter. You have never been exposed to it. You must not let His Majesty misunderstand it."

"It is very important not to allow him to plant the seeds in his mind that this matter is related to party strife."

"Leaving any written words may become evidence against you."

"Okay! Then everything depends on sir." Jamel Xiao saluted Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu also nodded in return.

The first night when Xiao Jingyang came to Yuezhou

Posthouse

"Your Majesty! Are you satisfied with the environment here?" Li An walked in with a smile on his face and saluted Xiao Jingyang.

"Not bad!" Xiao Jingyang also smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Except for some cleaning crews and cooks, everyone in the entire posthouse was driven away.

Every useful room is occupied by people from the Jiangzuo Alliance or Prince Jing's Mansion.

As for the men assigned by Prince Ji, Xiao Jingyang didn't know that they belonged to his father, so he didn't particularly trust them and asked them to guard the perimeter and be responsible for the protection of the perimeter.

"As long as the prince is satisfied." Li An licked his face and came to Xiao Jingyang's side.

"Conditions have really deteriorated recently, and the prince has been wronged."

"When this storm is over, if the prince comes to Yuezhou again, I will definitely give him a big banquet to wash away the dust."

When Xiao Jingyang heard this, his eyes changed slightly and he looked at Li An.

Xiao Jingyang knew in his heart that this guy was a member of the King-Yu Party. This time he occupied the position of disaster relief. The "Wise King" must be feeling very uncomfortable now.

As his son of a bitch, Li An treats him very well in terms of etiquette and various arrangements. Moreover, Xiao Jingyang has made so many arrangements now, and he has not had any interference at all.

What is the reason for this?

Or is this guy really able to endure it and is considered a talent?

"By the way, Mr. Li! I plan to build a porridge shed at the city gate tomorrow and let the people eat something first. What do you think?" Xiao Jingyang tapped the table with his fingers, waiting for Li An's answer.

"The prince has decided, and the lower officials will naturally comply with it." Li An kept his attitude very low, and he looked like he was just following orders.

"Okay!" Xiao Jingyang nodded.

"I have sent people to build a porridge shed at the gate of the city. Please send some government officials and soldiers to help."

Li An: "Yes! I will send someone right away."

Focus on this afternoon,

Yuezhou government office

After Li An returned to the government office with the accompanying officials, he immediately returned to the room with a confidant.

"Let's talk! What should we do next?" Li An sat down slowly, holding a cup of tea in his hand and smelling it carefully.

That confidant should be his master. The master thought for a while and replied:

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This man is from the royal family, the son of the current Prince of Ji, and his status is extremely noble, and there are rumors today that this prince is very likely to become a martial artist.

Those who learn from the master are deeply favored by His Majesty."

"But this man is only nineteen this year and is very young. I believe that the reason why His Majesty sent him here is just to let him improve his qualifications."

"Such a young person must not have a stable mind, and he also has a warrior mentality. We don't need to worry too much about such people, we can just treat them according to normal procedures."

"He's here to plate his gold. Let's do our own thing without interfering with each other. The worst we can do is lick our faces and fawn a lot."

"Yes!" Li An felt that what the master said was reasonable and nodded.

"Not bad! That makes sense."

"But we still have to provide him with some conveniences. After all, where is his identity, we naturally can't embarrass him."

"What you said is absolutely true!" Master smiled coquettishly and said:

"Your Excellency is so wise! Once this winter is over and he finishes the disaster relief work, won't your Excellency still have the final say in Yuezhou?"

"Hahaha!" Li An was happy and kept laughing.

"Well said, well said!"

"By the way! Sir, should we prepare a New Year's gift for His Highness Prince Yu?" The Master suddenly remembered this incident and asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the smiling expression on Li An's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression became extremely ugly.

"This damn robber! He actually dared to rob me of the New Year's gift I gave to His Highness Prince Yu. It's really abominable!!!"

"With that prince around these days, I have to take some time to calm down. Let's first write a congratulatory letter to His Highness Prince Yu to explain the reason!"

"Just add more to next year's New Year's gifts."
