"Are you at a disadvantage with him?" Gu Ning heard this, his eyes turned to Chu Shiling's body, and he asked tentatively, "What does he look like?"

Chu Shiling's cheeks were flushed, and she pushed Gu Ning angrily: "Of course he looks good, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in love with him. Back then, I wanted the emperor to marry me for me."

Gu Ning rubbed his chin, thoughtfully: "So your bad reputation these years is all thanks to him?"

"That's right!" Chu Shiling was full of resentment, "I just fell in love with his face, and didn't want to do anything else. Who knew he was so narrow-minded, and even publicized the fact that I molested a scholar back then. Let me make a fool of myself in public at the banquet."

The more Chu Shiling talked, the angrier she became. She stomped her feet resentfully: "He is a man who will take revenge, so you must be careful."

"You are also the county lord anyway, and he doesn't even like you?" Gu Ning thought about it carefully, and there was a chill in his heart, "It seems that Jiang Qian's plans are not small."

The status of a county head can bring Jiang Qian a lot of benefits, not to mention that Chu Shiling's father also holds an army of [-], and Chu Shiling is not ugly...

Seen by Gu Ning's meaningful eyes, Chu Shiling rubbed her arms and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"

"I was wondering what Jiang Qian wanted to give up such a good wife like you." Gu Ning was thoughtful, "I remember that many sons in Beijing wanted to marry you, why did he avoid you?" Not enough?"

Chu Shiling snorted coldly, put his arms around his chest, and said arrogantly: "It must be that he knows that he is not worthy of the county lord."

"Heh!" Gu Ning rolled his eyes, "You said you were fat and you were panting."

"What do you mean?" Chu Shiling bulged her eyes, like a swollen goldfish, "You think I'm bad too?"

"No, no, no." Gu Ning quickly appeased Chu Shiling who was jumping in anger, and comforted him, "Don't worry, even if it's for you, I won't give him a good face!"

Chu Shiling was greatly moved, and quickly followed behind Gu Ning, muttering: "You must avenge me! If it weren't for him, I would have found Mr. Ruyi a long time ago!"

As she said that, she also encouraged Gu Ning: "Besides, he has a good relationship with the third prince, so he must hate you so much, you can't let him go."

Gu Ning looked at her suspiciously, always feeling that the silly and sweet Chu Shiling knew something.

However, in Chu Shiling's eyes, only the big scene of Gu Ning wanting to avenge herself was left. Excited, she pushed Gu Ning to the front hall: "Hurry up! I want to watch the fun too!"

In the front hall, the plum trees in the flower pots are growing vigorously, which by the way isolates the figures of the people in the front hall.

Jiang Qian has been waiting here for half an hour, but no one in charge of the princess mansion showed up. When he asked, he said that the master had gone out to play and hadn't come back yet.

The subordinate Kong Ming who was beside him couldn't hold back anymore, his face was extremely ugly, and his chest was constantly heaving with anger.

"They clearly left you alone on purpose!" Kong Ming gritted his teeth for a while, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, no matter where you go, you are always treated respectfully, but you are just a princess sent to the frontier, how dare you treat you like this ?”

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the evaluation of officials, and they are always flattered on weekdays. Kong Ming has been with Jiang Qian for so many years, and he has never seen Jiang Qian receive such a cold reception.

But Jiang Qian sipped the tea in the cup carefully, without any displeasure on his face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Kong Ming was so angry that his face was flushed red, but he didn't dare to continue talking, he could only hold back the anger in his heart, and looked outside eagerly.

Finally, outside the layers of plum trees, several figures slowly appeared, and the clothes they wore became more and more gorgeous in the white snow.

Seeing the two leaders, Kong Ming whispered: "My lord, they are the Lords of Changning County and Xinyue County."

These two are not easy to mess with, and they have a lot of notoriety in the capital. Thinking of this, Kong Ming stared at them with a much more vigilant look than before, especially Chu Shiling, he remembers Chu Shiling Shi Ling once pestered Jiang Qian.

"I think it was some gust of wind that brought Mr. Jiang here." Chu Shiling said in a strange way, "Why did Mr. Jiang come to my house? Could it be that something difficult happened? Did he have a broken leg or a broken hand?"

Jiang Qian stood up and bowed to the two of them: "I have seen the two county lords, this time I came to the county lord's mansion because of the gold and silver collected from Heihuzhai."

"The gold and silver were looted from passers-by by Heihuzhai, and they should be returned to the families of the victims." Jiang Qianyu said to the two earnestly, "The two county lords shouldn't keep them for themselves. .”

Chu Shiling's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it: "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by keeping it for yourself? We are..."

"Since it's not for his own use, why didn't the county lord send them to the government office? Instead, he took them back to the county lord's mansion?" Jiang Qian frowned, seeing the anger on Chu Shiling's face, he said gently, "Perhaps the county lord The lord wants to keep them temporarily, but others don't think so, for the sake of the reputation of the princess and you, you should send them to the government office earlier."

Jiang Qian's few words made Chu Shiling choke up and didn't know what to say.

She never thought of taking the gold and silver as her own. She didn't believe that Fang Chengyu would use the gold and silver on the suffering people, so she suggested to Gu Ning to leave the things in the Princess's Mansion temporarily, but Only a day later, Jiang Qian came to the door, and kept saying that she had bought this batch of gold and silver!

At this time, Gu Ning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled coldly.

The red cloak she was wearing made her face whiter than the snow on the ground, exuding a jade-like texture, and she looked straight at Jiang Qian with a pair of clear peach blossom eyes: "Master Jiang, what is this?" Doesn’t the meaning of the words mean that we suspect that we have bought that batch of gold and silver?”

"However, what Master Jiang said is also reasonable. If this batch of gold and silver is placed in the princess' mansion, it will inevitably cause people to speculate and tarnish the reputation of the princess and Xinyue County." Gu Ning nodded thoughtfully, "It's better to send them to the government office according to Mr. Jiang's wishes."

"But!" Chu Shiling was anxious, but was pressed down by Gu Ning with one hand.

A look from Gu Ning made Chu Shiling quiet down.

After a while, Chu Shiling gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll have someone send them all to the government office."

After finishing speaking, she gave orders one by one.

Seeing that things went so smoothly, Jiang Qian was a little taken aback for a moment.

Before he came, he had made a lot of plans, and he had no intention of taking this batch of gold and silver back. Now that Gu Ning agreed so readily, he didn't know how to deal with it.

But when he thought of the value that the batch of gold and silver could bring, Jiang Qian didn't care too much, said a few words to the two with a smirk, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the princess' mansion, Gu Ning and Chu Shiling followed behind.

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Gu Ning raised a bright smile: "Since it is sent to the government office, of course we have to follow, and together we will check the things registered in our register with the government office one by one, so as not to come again when the time comes What kind of master Fang and Master Li put the shit basin on the princess's mansion."

As soon as Gu Ning said this, Jiang Qian already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He had already used the fastest speed, and came here in a hurry after the things were carried into the princess' mansion. In such a short time, could they really put everything into a book?

At this time, Gu Ning said with a smile again: "The group of bandits are not like ordinary bandits. They actually recorded all the things they robbed and whoever they robbed. We checked it carefully and compared it with their roster. It's exactly the same as what's listed."

A crack appeared on Jiang Qian's perfect expression, and it disappeared in an instant. He smiled and said, "They saved us a lot of trouble by doing this."

"Isn't it?" Gu Ning answered with a smile, "According to their roster, we have already contacted many people. If they can tell the name and time of their missing family members, we can send the corresponding Give them back the gold and silver."

"Before Mr. Jiang came to the Princess's Mansion, Mr. Xie had settled all the people. They wanted to come to the Princess's Mansion today to check. Since Mr. Jiang kindly invited us, we will change this place to the mansion. , I believe that the people of Yuezhou have more trust in the government and will be more at ease."

A few words from Gu Ning made Jiang Qian hold his hands tightly.

He glanced at Gu Ning, and smiled inexplicably: "The county lord's arrangement is really perfect."

"Master Jiang is absurd." Gu Ning readily accepted the compliment, "Since Master Jiang has no objection, I will send someone to notify them."

Jiang Qian nodded and walked in the front.

Chu Shiling leaned beside Gu Ning, and poked Gu Ning's waist; "You are really amazing! Not only can you return all these things to their original owners, but you can also make them jump in anger!"

She had known for a long time that Fang Chengyu was in contact with the capital, and she also knew that Fang Chengyu was obsessed with this batch of gold and silver, and now she is returning all the gold and silver in front of him, thinking about Fang Chengyu's face when the time comes...

With a "puchi", Chu Shiling couldn't help laughing.

Gu Ning pushed her hand away angrily: "Be careful that extreme joy begets sorrow!"

"How could it be!" Chu Shiling quickly shook her head, and complimented, "How could there be loopholes in the method you came up with? In my opinion, we are waiting for a good show in the government office! Fang Chengyu's face must be very exciting!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning raised the corners of his lips and whispered in Chu Shiling's ear: "Don't look at Fang Chengyu, if you dare to walk in front of Jiang Qian, you can see the wonderful expression on his face now."

After all, Chu Shiling couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

In front of the two, Jiang Qian's face turned blue and purple. He tried to control his boredom, but failed again after hearing Chu Shiling's laughter behind him.

He couldn't figure out why these two people were so calm!With so much gold and silver, didn't they think about it?

If Gu Ning knew what he was thinking, he would just roll his eyes.

She had already seen the private treasury of the late emperor, so how could she care about the things the bandits looted?
