Wen Lan fell into silence, thinking seriously about the possibility of coming back, and finally found that the possibility was zero, so she raised her head, looked at Song Yixin, and said, "Wen Lan should spend money for the princess."

Song Yixin gave Wen Lan a blank look, it was obviously her money, but she didn't say anything else.

A smile flashed in Wen Lan's eyes, he got up and went to the inner room to tidy the bed.By the way, he secretly stuffed two silver bills with the largest denominations under Song Yixin's pillow. If they really counted, at the current gold-silver ratio of 1:10, they could buy several bags of golden melon seeds.From this point, it can be seen that, in fact, Wen Lan is a local tyrant.

The family Wen Lan belongs to is the well-known Wen family on the border. Why is it famous? Because it is rich.The Wen family is mainly engaged in border trade. The family is located at the border of Jing, Di, and Mu. Of course, the main trade is with the Mu country, and most of the trade with the Di country is salt, tea and the like. One-eighth of Muguo's transactions.

Muguo is a model of making a fortune without making a fuss, and does not cause troubles, and supplies on time and in good quality and quantity every year, fulfilling the duty of a subordinate country, while its own country vigorously develops foreign trade, and sells some special products of Jingguo and Muguo to other countries. High-quality porcelain, silk, tea, and even some pastries and fruits were sold farther afield and were very popular.As for keeping fresh, there are ice boxes. However, this kind of cakes and fruits are difficult to keep fresh, and the price in foreign countries is also very expensive. Even so, the supply is still in short supply.The reason is simple, it is exclusively for the noble royal family.

The Wen family, which is mainly engaged in border trade, is not far behind the wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River.Because the family is located at the border, they are often protected by the troops stationed at the border, and they have a good relationship with Gu Ding and Gu Chongjun. Every year, a sum of money will be used as military expenses. Of course, this move has also enhanced the reputation of the Wen family. At the end of this period, the Wen family can be regarded as a Qiba.And the troops stationed at the border and the Wen family can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the "herdsmen" of Di Kingdom harassed the pass, broke into the Wen family's mansion, and plundered wantonly.Among them, Wen Lan's father was included.The Wen family has always been reluctant to move inland, but unexpectedly they encountered such a disaster.Fortunately, the young and strong at home are doing business outside, so that they don't lose their vitality.

Now the border is much more peaceful, and there are fewer disturbances by Di people.It's just that some things cannot be erased simply by not doing them again.It burns into your bones, and even when it heals, there are still scars, reminding you of the tragedies of the past time and time again.

Wen Lan embarked on the journey to Di Kingdom for this reason, and Song Yixin did the same.The blood debts, the hatred of the family and the country, will be repaid one day.

Wen Lan tidied the bed and closed her eyes. She is not a smooth person, but if necessary, she will be an invisible blade, killing people without blood.

Song Yixin lowered her eyes, looked at the faint green tea in the cup, and squinted her eyes. She is not used to the food here, so it is not too much to ask for a cook from Jingguo? Isn't it too much to bring Jingguo's food from Jingguo regularly? Disaster for the country, the enchantress? She will be just this time, huh.

In Xiangzhou City, Gu Qianchen changed into his official uniform and took Lin Rui and a small team to the prefect's mansion.The prefect of Xiangzhou was already waiting in front of the door.

A group of people rode all the way to the prefect's mansion, naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way, passers-by whispered, and finally dared not speak too loudly.

Gu Qianchen and his entourage went to the front of the official yamen, and the prefect of Xiangzhou led all his subordinates to kneel and worship, seeing the imperial envoys as if seeing the emperor in person.

"Master Taishou, please get up." Gu Qianchen looked down at the group of people on the horse and said with a smile.After the group of people got up, they got off their horses.

"Your Imperial Envoy, I've heard about your name for a long time, and it's a great honor to meet you today. You've been working hard all the way, so come in and rest for a while." Xiangzhou prefect said with a nod and bow.

"No need, I'm waiting for this action to suppress bandits, so I don't want to disturb you any more, but I'm going to bother you for the food of the soldiers." Gu Qianchen said with a smile.

The prefect of Xiangzhou was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile on his face, and said stiffly: "You should, you should, and I will order you to reward all the sergeants with wine and meat."

Gu Qianchen nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at everyone, and asked doubtfully, "Why didn't you see Master Zhou Rongzhou?"

The prefect of Xiangzhou hesitated and said "uh" for a long time, but he couldn't say a word, and he was about to break out in a cold sweat.Chang Shi at the side secretly glanced at the eunuch, and quickly continued: "Master Zhou was convicted of colluding with thieves, and has now been dismissed."

"Oh? Why didn't I know about this?" Gu Qianchen looked at the long history with a smile. He was smiling, but he looked chilly.

Chang Shi smiled and replied: "Your Excellency doesn't know something. This dismissal happened a few days ago. Your Excellency must still be on his way to Xiangzhou. It's normal not to know."

Gu Qianchen smiled meaningfully, nodded with an "oh", and then said: "So that's the case, I have a relationship with Mr. Zhou on several occasions, and this visit to Xiangzhou originally meant to reminisce about the past, but now it seems that, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

The prefect of Xiangzhou and Chang Shi laughed twice, secretly thinking that this person is difficult to deal with.

Gu Qianchen looked at the two with a smile, and then asked: "Since that's the case, Mr. Zhou... oh no, where is Zhou Rong now? If I remember correctly, Zhou Rong was the governor of Xiangzhou before. " Gu Qianchen seemed to mention that sentence casually.

Chang Shi's back felt cold, he always felt that he was being watched by something, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, Zhou Rong is probably on Mount Zhu now, he has already taken refuge with those bandits."

"Oh." Gu Qianchen nodded, seeming a little emotional.

"Your Majesty, I will arrange a place for you to rest, so that you can rest well." The prefect said with a smile.

"No need, I'll take a short break and then go up to Mount Ying immediately, and catch him by surprise." Gu Qianchen waved his hand and refused.

The prefect smiled and nodded, and said: "Your Excellency is loyal, we are ashamed of ourselves."

"My lord, just prepare some food. I thank you in advance." Gu Qianchen said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you are polite, and the next official will do it immediately." The prefect said, cupping his hands.

Gu Qianchen nodded in satisfaction, and led the people away without entering the yamen's door.The people onlookers talked about it, and they didn't know whether it was good or bad.Gu Qianchen didn't care either, at least not now.

The prefect of Xiangzhou smiled and watched Gu Qianchen take the people away. After such a short while, his face almost froze from laughing.

Gu Qianchen led the people out of the city gate, assembled all the soldiers, and waited for the Xiangzhou prefect to send things.

Chapter 49

The "appointed" wine and meat were delivered quickly. After all, the prefect of Xiangzhou hoped that the people brought by Gu Qianchen would leave as soon as possible, so it would be better not to cause extra trouble.The opposite is to be reversed, but they have to wait until the [-] soldiers have left, otherwise they will encounter a big battle as soon as they start their troops. No matter whether the result is victory or defeat, it is a situation they are quite unwilling to see.What's more, it is also a good thing to use the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to deal with those annoying bandits.

Gu Qianchen sent away the person who came to deliver the food with a smile, but when he looked at the group of soldiers again, his face changed suddenly, and he said to Lin Rui in a cold voice: "Bring that person here."

Lin Rui knew who Gu Qianchen was talking about, and quickly brought him over.

The person being escorted by Lin Rui looked around, felt the gazes from around him, looked puzzled and aggrieved, and said, "My lord, what did I do wrong? What's going on here? My lord, what's wrong with me?" There must be some misunderstanding."

Gu Qianchen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Search."

"Yes." Lin Rui replied, and then signaled with his eyes to the two soldiers to arrest him, and began to search him.

Not long after, Lin Rui found a note on the man, which said: The situation has changed, the imperial court's suppression of bandits is false, and the destruction of appearance is true.It looks like a message that hasn't had time to deliver.

"What else can you say?" Gu Qianchen shook his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, as if he was an old man.
