Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Ling Qingxuan knew in his heart that he was not as important as the children in Xia Chuntao's heart. so what? The days are still long, and in the next few decades, it will be him who will accompany her after all.

Xia Chuntao understood, feeling a little warm and a little guilty.

"Can we not let anyone know about our affairs first?"

"Why?"

Xia Chuntao took Ling Qingxuan's hand and said, "There is a process to cooking. Are we going too fast?"

Xia Chuntao still feels that all this happened out of nowhere. She is used to having to work hard for everything by herself. Things that are too easy to obtain always make people feel uneasy.

Ling Qingxuan remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "You still don't believe me."

Xia Chuntao waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I don't believe you, I just... don't believe in myself." After saying that, he lowered his head and stopped arguing, looking pitiful, which made Ling Qingxuan lose his temper.

He touched her head and said, "The days are long, I will give you time."

Xia Chuntao blinked and smiled at Ling Qingxuan, "As long as my eldest son is nice, I will also be nice to you!"

Ling Qingxuan shook his head helplessly. He looked like a pitiful child just now, but in the blink of an eye he started laughing and joking. Why did he like such a two-skinned person?

There was no sound in the village at the foot of the mountain, only a few torches were lit.

Ling Qingxuan helped Xia Chuntao up, "Let's go down the mountain."

Xia Chuntao asked as she walked: "Your Majesty, has the iron mine matter been resolved?"

"Well, it should be."

"What does 'should' mean?"

"Over there, Xuanyi will lead the team to destroy Zeng Rui's people."

"then you……"

"Really stupid or fake?" After saying that, he flicked Xia Chuntao's forehead again.

Xia Chuntao touched her forehead with joy, then extended her thumb towards Ling Qingxuan, "Your Majesty, you are indeed very loyal!"

Ling Qingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wrapped Xia Chuntao's little hand in his broad palm, "As long as you are happy."

This night was an extraordinary night for the Villa.

People trembled in the dark listening to the fighting and killing outside. Everyone prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky in various ways, hoping that the disaster would end soon. Even though the sound of killing outside soon subsided, every household still closed its doors tightly, not daring to show even half of its head.

But this night, the sky was full of fire in Rongcheng, and the sound of swords and swords was heard. The entire Rongcheng fell into chaos.

Zeng Rui had only been in office for three years, but he was indistinguishable from the generals of the nearby guard camp. For three days, he failed to catch Ling Qingxuan. He knew that the situation was not good, but he had to fight no matter what, so he transferred some of the soldiers from the guard camp and euphemistically called it "suppression of bandits." That was why there was chaos in Rongcheng this night.

However, the Dragon and Tiger Guards are not vegetarians. This army has made numerous military exploits on the battlefield. Otherwise, how would they have been given the title of "Dragon and Tiger"?

At dawn, the once bustling streets were too quiet, and there were bloodstains everywhere. How dare the people come out risking their lives.

Ling Qingxuan was sitting in the prefect's yamen, and the leader was tied up like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

"Ling Qingxuan, you are so bold, you dare to lynch an official of the imperial court! I...I want to report it to the imperial court! I am not having a good time, so don't think about it! Why don't you say anything? Haha, did I say it right? So you It’s really…”

Ling Qingxuan looked at Zeng Rui coldly, as if he were looking at a clown. I saw him take out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, spread it out, and a bright red seal came into view.

"I am an honest man. How could I dare to use the Dragon and Tiger Guards without the Emperor's approval? Do you think so, Master Zeng?"

When he saw the seal, Zeng Rui knew that his situation was over and there was no room for change. His fat body collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.

"Tell me, where did all your iron ore mining stuff go?"

Zeng Rui said nothing.

"What's the use of carrying it hard? You can't move so many iron tools alone, right? How many people can you shut up?"

Zeng Rui still didn't speak.

At this point, the only hope lies with that person.

Zeng Rui wanted to bet on what price the person was willing to pay to silence him. Anyway, the account book of the transaction is still with him. Even if he is silenced, that person will never get any advantage!

Sure enough, after searching the entire magistrate's residence, there was no evidence such as account books or letters.

To make matters worse, Zeng Rui's most capable steward committed suicide before the Longhu Guards invaded the mansion. This must have been Zeng Rui's handiwork.

A prefect, relying solely on the income of this prefecture, is enough to become rich, and there is no need to take risks to mine iron ore. Ling Qingxuan guessed that there must be a powerful master behind him, and even guessed that this master was nothing more than one of several princes.

Emperor Chengwu was like an aging lion. No matter how glorious he had been, there would eventually come a day when he was unable to do what he wanted.

The princes are in their prime. Even if the prince is kind, each prince represents different interests of the mother clan. Who is willing to give up the imperial power that is so close at hand?

Before setting off from the capital, he reported his suspicions about Zeng Rui and the clues he had found to the emperor. At that time, the emperor did not speak for a long time. Later, he gave Ling Qingxuan a secret order and said to him: "Try your best to investigate. No matter what the result is, let’s talk about it after we return to Beijing.”

He thought that the emperor always cared about family ties. I just don’t know if the princes really care about their elderly father?

The next day, the entire Rongcheng was temporarily taken over by the Longhu Guards.

In the morning, the sound of cleaning came from the quiet alley. Those who were bold enough to quietly poke their heads out and look outside saw that apart from the mottled bloodstains outside, it could prove the intensity of the battle last night. It seemed to be no different from usual days.

Three days later, Rongcheng returned to its former prosperity.

The same goes for Zhuangzi. Although after a night of suffering, no one on the farm suffered any personal or property losses. Early in the morning of the next day, Old Liu, the head of the village, took a big gong and beat it all the way to report that everything was safe. Everyone felt relieved when they heard Lao Liu's voice.

Everyone gathered at the threshing floor and saw that the owner of the village was there, which made them feel more at ease. The owner of the village was their backbone!

"Fellow folks, everyone was shocked yesterday. Because the prefect of Rongcheng was corrupt and perverted the law, the crown prince of Zhenguo was ordered to arrest him. He was afraid that the incident would come to light, so he wanted to threaten the crown prince with the life of his sister. That's what happened yesterday. Son."

Xia Chuntao explained the whole story in a few words. In fact, as the owner of the village, she doesn't have to say anything about it. After all, the entire village belongs to her, and she can do whatever she wants.

But after all, our classmate Xiaoxia is a child who grew up with proletarian education and does not have such arbitrary class ideas.

In her mind, Zhuangzi is hers, but people are not. They are just her employees. When encountering such a thing, as the boss, Xiaoxia feels it is necessary to explain the situation to everyone.

Furthermore, many things can be explained clearly in a few words, so why not? The ambiguous attitude of the superiors is the root cause of the rumors.
