The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

King Shun sent people here so quickly, Liu Qin's eyelids twitched heavily, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to just throw people out like this, the people who came were from King Shun's side, Liu Qin was full of grievances, But he could only laugh out loud and welcome people in.

Liu Qin, the person sent by King Shun, was a little familiar. He had only vaguely seen him around King Shun, but he didn't know his name. He welcomed him into the flower hall, and Liu Qin served him straight away with good tea and snacks. Feeling more at ease, he said with a smile: "This steward is very familiar. I often see him next to His Highness, but I don't know his name."

The person sent by Xie Jingan was an old man in his forties, with a long face, two deep creases at the corners of his eyes due to his smile all the year round, and the corners of his mouth were also raised, happily holding a teacup to drink tea, He smiled and said: "The young one is a small steward next to His Royal Highness Shun Wang. He has been favored by Concubine Hui to follow His Highness all the time. It's just that he is older, but he is not very capable. Master Liu calls me Qin Qi. good."

Although Qin Qi was humble, Liu Qin didn't dare to call him by his first name. After all, he was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, let alone him from Shun Wang's mansion?Liu Qin politely called him Guanshi Qin, then pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "Guan Qin came just in time, and I have an important matter to discuss with Guanshi Qin, and I want to ask Guanshi Qin for an idea."

Qin Qi said a few words repeatedly, and then waved his hands and said: "The young one is just a small steward next to His Highness, and he always listens to His Highness's words to do errands. Before he can make up his own mind, what Master Liu said is trivial. I can only help with the details, and it is up to Mr. Liu to decide how to do it.”

It's good to listen to him complain, Liu Qin put on a sad face, sighed and said: "Officer Qin is a happy person, so I don't say those scenes, and tell the truth. Your Highness has a job. It is reasonable to say that since you agreed to your Highness, you will start to do it immediately, but now the snow is very difficult, not to mention building a house for others, even walking on the snow is quite laborious, so I thought, isn’t it? Wait for the snow to stop before the craftsmen start to prepare? After all, there are [-] people in Xishui Village, and the wood and gravel used to build the house can fill several yards, and we will have to wait for the snow to stop to be lucky.”

"That's the reason." Qin Qi frowned and thought for a while, then said: "The roads are now blocked by heavy snow, and if the timber is transported before the snow stops, it will only make the snow drenched. Houses built with wet wood will have dampness, which is not forbidden. It will always need to be repaired every few years. Xishui Village has a majority of old people and children, and the annual output of the fields is only enough to make ends meet. money to repair the house."

Qin Qi sighed pitifully, shook his head and said: "If they have extra money, the house won't be in disrepair for a long time, so it's called snow collapse."

Hearing this, Liu Qin felt that he was telling him, his face froze, his smile disappeared, and he tried to defend himself: "Who says it's not? Hebei Road is windy and sandy, and there is little rain. There is a lot of water to irrigate the fields in the Guan, and one year's work will only cost a few hundred shi of grain. Excluding those handed over to the court, it is barely enough for a village to chew. This is a good year, and there are streams and canals beside the fields. Otherwise, after a year of busy work, not to mention not enough to fill our stomachs, we would have to rely on prostitution to survive.”

Qin Qi shook his head and sighed, his face was full of compassion, but he didn't answer Liu Qin's words, he just said: "Everyone in the world knows that Liu's family is a benevolent family, and the plaque is still hanging on the door. I thought that Mr. Liu was slow to run errands for His Highness, and His Highness only told the younger one that Mr. Liu was kind and willing to build houses for the people of Xishui Village on behalf of His Highness, but he didn't say when it would be completed, as long as Mr. Liu took this matter to heart In fact, if the materials are selected, it will be done, but the young ones have to rely on Mr. Liu to take care of them. If Mr. Liu fails to build the house, the young ones will have to bother him for a day. I hope Mr. Liu will not give up."

Liu Qin told him that he was angry at what he said, but he didn't dare to show anything, his face was twisted like a clown: "Where is Guan Shi, it's the Liu family's good fortune to be able to do business for His Highness. How dare others envy you?" Don't take it to heart, I've been making preparations in the past few days, but the weather is bad, and I'm afraid I'm going to do nothing, so when Manager Qin sees it, don't think it's because I didn't care."

When Liu Qin said this, he really became so serious. He just called the stewards one after another into the study room to order in front of Qin Qi, but when he really entered the study room, it was not the case.

At home, he devoted himself to dealing with the errand that Xie Jingan insisted upon him, and Lin Yan also focused on investigating his evil deeds outside. He didn't return to the palace for several days, and he just ate two pancakes to deal with it. It's easy to walk around the streets and pretend to be in disguise. Lin Yan didn't delay for a moment, and gave all the money left on his body to a beggar who reported to him, and took advantage of the night to return to the palace without stopping.

When Xie Jingan received the news of Lin Yan's request for an audience, he had just changed his clothes and was about to leave the house. He was so overjoyed when he heard the news that he couldn't care less about looking at the burnt glass, so he took off the cloak he had just put on and threw it into the hands of the servants. On the next day, he took Cui Tong and strode to the study.

In the study, Lin Yan had a stern face, and he didn't change his urgent clothes. He just sat on the chair and waited for him.

Xie Jing'an knew him well and didn't bother to be polite. Before Lin Yan got up, he told him to sit on the chair to excuse him. Did it go well? No one from the Liu family found out, so it must have alarmed the snake."

"Although there were some twists and turns, it went smoothly," Lin Yan looked at him and said, "Originally, the general had some worries that would attract attention, and the selected people were lazy, so they looked around when they got up. Later, I saw that the Liu family didn't seem to be there. Noticing it, I let go of my guts."

He deliberately found something to help Lin Yan divert his attention. Seeing that it really worked, Xie Jingan was proud and anxious, and hurriedly asked him, "What did you find out?"

Lin Yan's expression was still normal just now, and his face turned ugly when he asked this question. Obviously, what he found made him extremely disgusted, and he said with hatred: "This Liu family is really crazy. He not only collects [-]% of the rent in Xishui Village, but other The tenants receive [-]% of the rent, and they have built many gambling houses, prostitutes, and small houses under their name, and they also do the work of that human tooth. Your Highness knows why the Liu family allowed the people of Xishui Village to see their children in the first few years. , you won’t let him see you in the next few years no matter what?”

Seeing his expression, Xie Jingan knew that it was not a good thing, so he thumped in his heart, shook his head and asked him: "Why?"

Lin Yan said angrily: "This Liu family, the good sons and daughters bought from other people are not used as servants at all, but they are locked in another house for training/education, raised for a few years, and those who are outstanding are sent to various officials There are bribes there, and some outstanding ones are sent to the brothel Xiaowan to earn money. How can he treat other people's children like this, so how dare they let their parents meet? He is not afraid of being hated by others and secretly harming him life?"

Xie Jing'an had made mental preparations before Lin Yan opened his mouth, but when he really heard the truth, he felt a wave of anger rushing straight to his head, so angry that his hands trembled, and he slapped the table: "How unreasonable! How unreasonable! The Liu family After all, they are also from a scholarly family, who have read sage books since childhood, how can they have such a vicious heart, are they worthy of being human? Calling him a beast is flattering him!"

Xie Jingan cursed a lot angrily, if Lin Yan's hand hadn't been moving along with his hand patting the table, Xie Jingan didn't dare to pat him again for fear of hurting him, and would have cracked the table.

Even after cursing so many words, Xie Jingan didn't let go of his anger. He stood up and walked around the open space of the study for a few times before finally calming down. He turned his head to look at Lin Yan with his hands behind his back: "Is there anything else? The Liu family What other unreasonable things have you done, tell me one by one."

Xie Jingan didn't sit down, Lin Yan also stood up, fearing that Xie Jingan would get angry if he said everything in one breath, he hesitated for a while before saying: "On the surface, Liu Jiaming only has shops, inns, wineries, but in private they open According to the news from the late general, there are five in His Highness's fief, and there are many evil servants in the gambling hall, and some evil servants who are specially designed to deceive people's property. They have a lot of money, and the people who live in a happy family tell them to cheat their families into ruins. They also have a caravan under their hands, who specialize in buying people from rich families. The common people signed the deed of selling themselves, and then they disappeared overnight without a trace as soon as they were picked up. As for the people who bought them, they were just like the children of those tenants. After all these years, I don't know how many people died under their hands. The general also learned from a beggar about the mass grave they used to bury people. The general went to see it secretly, and indeed saw There was a dead body that was not dressed like an ordinary daughter's house. The dead body should be recently dead, and the body was still intact. It was only wrapped in a straw mat. If someone familiar with the family came to see it, they should be able to recognize it. Human."

Xie Jingan originally thought that what he had heard was enough to make him insane, but he didn't expect there to be more, the veins on his forehead burst out of anger, he jumped up and down, and scolded the Liu family for a few more words before slowing down Speak seriously.

Because Xie Jingan was angry, he didn't sit down on the chair, and opened a window to let the cold wind blow in to clear his mind. After a long while, he said coldly: "Since General Lin has found out that the Liu family is indeed doing a lot of evil, if this king doesn't arrest them Isn’t it unacceptable to punish according to law? Without further ado, the king will invite Liu’s family to his mansion tomorrow. General Lin led people to search his shop, gambling shop, brothel and Xiaowan hall, especially to find him locked. The yard where the tenants’ children were trained, after being searched and interrogated on the spot, they must open their mouths and get conclusive evidence of the Liu family’s crimes. As for the Liu family…”

Xie Jing'an's face was livid, and he snorted coldly: "Let's leave it to me to arrest and torture me. I want to see if his bones are worthy of his black heart."

Having made a plan to punish the Liu family tomorrow, Xie Jing'an didn't delay for a moment, and asked Cui Tong to call Director Qin, and told him to send someone to the Liu family early tomorrow morning to invite him.

Director Qin thought it was an ordinary banquet at first, and was about to open his mouth to accept it, but when he saw Lin Yan behind Xie Jingan, he suddenly understood, his expression became serious, and he asked, "Your Highness means that all the men and women of the Liu family will be together. , all please come to the mansion?"
