Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role
Chapter 169 Cannon Fodder in the Empress’s Story (3)
Xiao Yan was sent by the emperor to investigate the corruption case. There has been no progress so far. The local officials are trying to win over him while destroying the evidence. Now is the critical moment.
So after serving a good person and eating with her, Xiao Yan then went to the Yamen.
The local magistrate's name is Qin Song. He is in his fifties this year. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiayu. After three years of studying in the Hanlin Academy, he married the daughter of the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the current Crown Prince, Master Yao. From then on, he had a prosperous career in the officialdom. Qingyun was awarded the title of prefect of Shu eight years ago.
There are thousands of miles of fertile soil here, with endless farming and weaving, and it occupies the right place at the right time. In the past, it could add millions of taels of silver to the national treasury every year. However, in the past two years, Qin Song sent a memorial to the capital every autumn harvest, saying that what happened here Natural disasters and man-made disasters, too high taxes may cause rebellion among the people, and less and less silver is sent every year.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Although Emperor Jiayu is still young, he is not in good health. He has never left the capital for 20 or 30 years since he ascended the throne. As the local governor, Qin Song is simply a local emperor. In addition, there are people in the capital, and the imperial envoys come every time. Either he is being coaxed, or he is being killed.
In the past two years, the harvests in other places have been poor. There have been several floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Coupled with the turmoil in the northern Xinjiang, military expenditures have increased and the national treasury is empty. He only remembered to conduct a thorough investigation of Shu after being reminded by the male protagonist.
In order to prevent trouble, he sent his own son over, thinking that no matter how overbearing the local officials were, they would not dare to offend the prince.
Of course, Qin Song didn't want to kill him. He just heard that he had always been clean and self-sufficient and had a good reputation. He was instigated by others to use this method to ruin his reputation or use him as an excuse so that he could continue to cause trouble.
When he heard that Xiao Yan came to see him, he thought that his plan had succeeded, and proudly showed off to his master: "What kind of wise prince? It's not like you fell into the hands of me, the third prince really made a fuss out of a molehill."
The master echoed: "My lord, what you are saying is that among all the princes in the capital, the eighth prince is the least likely to fight for power. The second prince has been favored for many years, and the princes older than him are all capable of fighting for it. What about him?" , he is just a good-for-nothing prince."
Qin Song walked out with a smile and came to the main hall. Xiao Yan suddenly wore a sapphire blue brocade suit. Because he had not yet worn the crown, he only wore a white jade hairpin on his head. He looked so plain that there was no royal dignity at all.
"I have met His Highness the Prince of Tang, and I wish you all the best."
Xiao Yansui lowered his eyes and looked at him for a while, feeling extremely disgusted with this person. However, if he hadn't done this, he might not have been able to see the person he longed for.
"Master Qin, there is no need to be polite, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Qin Song dragged his fat body to stand up from the ground and stood aside. Xiao Yansui sat on the main seat unceremoniously. Just when Qin Song thought he was going to question what happened last night, Xiao Yansui said: " Mr. Qin, I said before that I wanted to check the land taxation in recent years, and you said that you wanted to sort it out a little. Have you sorted it out now?"
Qin Song was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Go back to your lord, it's ready. I still want to send someone to deliver it to you today."
"Then take it out now." Xiao Yan said, "Please also take out the household registration cards from various places."
"This." Qin Song hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Shu is a vast territory with hundreds of thousands of household registration posts. Do you want to see all of them, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yan thought for a while: "Just take the one from the ferry."
Qin Song was shocked again, but he had never been scared by anyone in the decades he had lived: "Yes, I will send someone to send it to you later."
"No need." Xiao Yansui stood up: "Take it out now, and I will take it back directly."
Qin Song handed over his hand again: "Yes."
He gave the master a look, and the master withdrew. Soon, they moved the records of land taxation and the household registration at the ferry to the carriage.
Qin Song sent people out and glanced at the master. When he saw the other party nodded slightly, his heart finally dropped, and at the same time he started to find fault with Xiao Yansui.
"Your Majesty." He took out a document: "I heard that Your Majesty brought the girl from the brothel last night back to the villa. This is her deed of prostitution. I asked someone to bring it from the brothel today. Then The woman will give it to the prince."
Xiao Yansui took the document with a calm expression and took out a jade pendant from his body to prove his identity: "Since I want to accept it, I won't bother Lord Qin to spend the money. I appreciate Lord Qin's kindness."
After saying that, he got into the carriage directly and the guard drove away.
Qin Song looked at the jade pendant in his hand with a gloomy expression on his face. He turned around and walked back to the Yamen, followed by the master. After dismissing the people around him, he threw the jade pendant on the table: "You really don't know what is good and what is good!"
When he said goodbye, his intention was obvious, that he wanted to win over Xiao Yansui.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, even had to pay for a brothel girl's prostitution herself. Obviously, he didn't want any kindness from him, which was equivalent to giving him a slap in the face in public.
The master guessed: "I have heard that His Highness the Prince of Tang is not flirtatious with women. Maybe he has no intention of that woman. He has no real power in the court. Since beauty is not enough, you might as well try money. Money and silk are very attractive."
Qin Song was a little unhappy. After all, he was a prince. If he could win over him, it would be of great benefit to them in the future.
He said: "In two days, if he really comes here for money, I don't need to take the initiative to ask, he will ask for it himself."
"My lord, what you say makes sense."

Xiao Yansui was almost furious when he saw the selling contract.
He was busy bringing people back this morning and had forgotten about this matter. Qin Song mentioned it and even used such words to insult her, which made him want to kill him with a sword on the spot.
The more he looked at it, the angrier he became, and he tore the bond of prostitution into pieces. The guard who was driving the carriage heard the noise and asked, but was almost hurt by him indiscriminately.
Back at the Villa, the guards carried those things to his study. He was going back to the bedroom to see Shen Huan, who was sleeping soundly on his bed and seemed to be less concerned about the deed of betrayal than he was.
He was inexplicably angry and woke people up.
Shen Huan felt short of breath and woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yan's skin close at hand. Because they were so close, she couldn't see his expression at all.
She urged Ren, but Xiao Yan didn't move.
"Hi~"
Xiao Yan bit her lip like punishment, which made Shen Huan unable to bear it for a moment. She adjusted her breathing, turned her back, held his head and started to kiss him.
Xiao Yansui is a novice in this world. He has the memories of his previous life but his brain was not very good in his previous life. He is doomed to suffer.
When he was addicted to it, Shen Huan returned the blow with force. After hearing his cry of pain, she let go.
Xiao Yansui's face flushed, he covered his mouth with one hand, and looked at her with wet eyes, seeming a little aggrieved.
Shen Huan almost laughed angrily.
"You disturbed my sleep. You started with your mouth, and now I feel aggrieved. Why do you take everything?"
