May you live in peace

On the same day, Takasugi organized personnel to go outside and organize all the people in distress to one place, and asked the officers and soldiers to take mugwort to smoke the densely populated areas, and then smoke it again with Huocao.Instruct the imperial physician to organize local doctors and doctors to separate the people for consultation according to the severity of the disease, and then send people to purchase medicinal materials.As a result, the news came that the price of local medicinal materials had risen more than ten times, and the money sent by the imperial court was simply not enough.Gaoshan took the officers and soldiers to arrest the landlord who sold the medicinal materials on the spot, and was going to question him in public.

"My son-in-law, such actions may lead to resistance from other landlords and squires. At that time, these people will unite and make trouble. If they are not handled well, it may affect the court." said Ge Tan, the chief secretary below, who is considered a clean and honest man. People, on the other hand, don't belong together, are excluded, and cannot be promoted.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter, Master Ge, don't worry." Gao Shan waved his hand, looking at the post sent up today.

There is a report on today's disaster relief situation. Those who are mildly ill have been arranged to go to the south of the city to receive porridge and rice. Those who are seriously ill are still being arranged.Another post was made by these landlords and officials, inviting her to a banquet.There is also a small post from Yin Xi.Ever since he came to Chudi, Yin Xi wrote letters every day, and there was only one sentence in the letter, 'Have you been well? Every time Takasugi reads the letter with a smile, then touches the dry handwriting on it, and replies, "Well, don't read." Yin Xi also smiles every time she sees the reply, although this person is not interesting at all, He can answer whatever he asks, as long as he is healthy.

In the afternoon, Gao Shan was about to get up to go to the banquet. The director was worried about her safety and insisted on sending someone to escort her.Gao Shan shook his head, thanked him for his kindness, went straight out of the mansion, smiled at the people who had been waiting outside for a long time, and went to the government together.

The lords and officials from all over the country saw that there were only two people who came here. They were overjoyed at first, and then saw the people around the eldest son-in-law. They felt familiar at first, but later they realized that this was the well-known richest man in the southern region, the eldest son of the Nangong family, and now the actual head of the family. People, Nangong Rang.

After a group of people greeted each other, they just sat there without speaking, and finally the sheriff couldn't hold back his anger and said.

"As soon as the eldest son-in-law came, he arrested the drug dealer in this county, so he was a little arrogant."

Gao Shan put down the teacup, then looked at the sheriff above with a blank expression, but surprised the sheriff.It is said that this eldest son-in-law was born as a beggar. I thought nothing would come, but it seems that I underestimated him.

"It turns out that you still know that you are the sheriff."

The sheriff didn't realize what the words meant at first, but only heard a 'bang', and Gao Shan slapped the table with his palm.

"As a county guard, you openly let these landlords and gentry take advantage of the disaster to make huge profits. Are you worthy of your status and the imperial salary you receive?"

The sheriff's face turned red when he was told that he wanted to get up and let the ambushing people outside do it, but Gao Shan swung his hand vigorously, and the knife on the table flew out, and the knife and axe who was ambushing under the opposite barrier responded.

There was an instant silence in the hall, and even Nangong Rang couldn't help but marvel at this person's talent.

"Is this how the sheriff treats me?"

The sheriff's face turned red and then pale, and even the hand holding the wine glass was shaking.

"Why is the son-in-law doing this? The sheriff was also confused for a moment, and he said something to offend the son-in-law. These swordsmen are here to protect the son-in-law. They are not afraid that refugees will break in and hurt the son-in-law, right?" The fat landlord said that Takasugi remembered him, the largest rice merchant in the area.

"Then trouble the sheriff to be so cautious, let these swordsmen come out, and follow me back to the house later." The people present were stunned. Clenching his fists hard, he said 'No'.

Those present saw that the son-in-law made a big show of authority as soon as he arrived, and knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they had to be a little more respectful and changed their previous attitude.

"Since you all invited me here, you don't need to be so cautious. You are also local elites, so why put on airs for me?"

A group of people said yes but didn't open their mouths. Gao Shan also held his breath and drank tea without speaking.

"The son-in-law has arrested Luo Li and will be executed at noon tomorrow. Such an action is not very good." In the end, one of the businessmen spoke first.

"Oh, I think it's quite good. When the imperial court sent me here, they gave me the right to act cheaply. Besides, the common people support the beheading of this shameless man. Now you are opposing it. Are you the same as him?"

Although the landlords smiled and denied it, their faces were extremely ugly. This son-in-law is so arrogant, do you really think they can't stand him?

"But since I'm here, I naturally have something to do with you."

"Please speak, son-in-law."

Gao Shan gestured to Nangong, Nangong nodded and said.

"I would like to buy the grain in your hands at five times the price of rice."

Nangong Rang's words surprised those present. They thought that the son-in-law was here to force them to give rice grains. If so, of course they are not afraid. Rice is in their hands. Even if you are a member of the court, you have no ability to force them. The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. I didn't expect that people from the Nangong family would help fund the purchase of food.

The landlords also have their own plans, and the five times the price is far beyond their imagination. If they can really buy it for the Nangong family, it will definitely be a huge income. As for why he bought rice, it has nothing to do with them.

"Okay, but what are Mr. Nangong's conditions?"

"It's very simple. The rice grains I want must be delivered within the specified time. If there is a delay of one day, they will be returned to me at a loss of ten."

"Okay, but Mr. Nangong has to keep his word. Today's account will be settled today, and there is no default."

"It's natural."

The discussions between the various parties seemed to be very harmonious. The two parties signed the contract and the cooperation was considered successful.

When Nangong and Gaoshan left, these landlords celebrated with each other. After all, the sky is high in Chudi and the emperor is far away. You are a real dragon, and you can't control the local snake.

The next day Nangong began to buy rice grains from each family at a price of [-] shi. The accounts were settled on the same day, and the landlords were all happy, as if they had been taken advantage of.

All the purchased grain was distributed to the victims, and the materials originally budgeted by the imperial court were not enough at all, and these milled rice were even more rare.For this reason, the people's gratitude to the eldest princess and the eldest son-in-law reached the climax in Chu for a while.

Gaoshan and Nangong have been busy in Chudi for nearly half a month, and the grain purchased every day is increasing day by day. Later, it directly grows to ten thousand stones a day. Not much left.What they didn't expect was that the Nangong family was really scary, and the daily hundred gold was paid properly, and there was no arrears, so they dared not refuse to pay.In the end, it is simply mixed with coarse grains in order to pass the test.

Unexpectedly, it was the Nangong family who did not come to the door, so they were unscrupulous.But even so, the Nangong family still spent a lot of money to buy rice, and finally brought it up to [-] shi a day. Many landlords had no rice, and their hearts were suddenly up and down.

When Nangong's family carried [-] shi of rice a day, many landlords had already fled in fright, but Gaoshan's guards personally blocked the gate of the city, and finally arrested the yamen.

In the highest hall of the yamen, Gao Shan sat on top, and Nangong sat on the bottom.

"Where are you going, my lords?"

Many landlords were sweating all over their faces. Looking at the people sitting above and the county magistrate waiting on the side, they felt uneasy.

"My lords still owe me a lot of rice. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to run away with the quilt wrapped up like this."

Nangong Rang took out the paper in his hand, it was written in black and white, and these landlords were speechless.

"I hope the prince consort will give me a few more days, and these people will naturally come up with rice."

The one who spoke was the sheriff who had rushed over. These landlords belonged to him, so of course he couldn't allow any accidents to happen to them.

Takasugi and Nangong finally agreed to extend their time, and paid gold, so that they must deliver all the rice within three days.

That night, these landlords planned to buy people, and killed the eldest son-in-law and Nangong Rang at night. Anyway, Chudi was far away from the capital, and finally set fire to the mansion.

When everything was ready, these landlords and their servants broke into the mansion where the eldest son-in-law lived temporarily. A group of guards had already surrounded them from the outside to the inside, and the leader was Liu Han. The general and the captain were rushed over by Takasugi Chuanshu first.

Seeing the situation, Gao Shan put everyone in prison for plotting to assassinate the son-in-law.The next day the sheriff came to ask for someone with his soldiers, but he saw that Gao Shan had already sat on the main seat, waiting for him for a long time.Gao Shan threw out all his corruption records in the past few years, and arrested him under the law of Hao Guo. The county guard wanted to resist again, but Gao Shan's popularity in Chu had already made the guards of the county guard almost like him. confrontation.

Gao Shan took this opportunity to question and exile all the officials and businessmen involved in the corruption, bribery, and price gouging.For a moment, Chu Di cheered happily, straight to the heart.Just after the sheriff and several big landlords who were asked to be beheaded at Caishikou were beheaded, the first rain finally fell in the southern region where there had been no rain for four consecutive months, and the people in Chu said that the son-in-law and the eldest princess belonged to the dynasty. The gospel of God is the savior of the people, and Takasugi has been greatly appreciated for this.

One month later, the disaster situation finally eased, and the arrangement of Chudi was also orderly after Yinxi knew the situation.Seeing this situation and Yin Xi's edict, Gao Shan decided to get up and return.

The eldest son-in-law has made great contributions to managing the disaster, and the people of the capital once again surrounded the streets and alleys of the capital, only wanting to welcome this great hero.

After the white horse entered the city gate, the people scrambled to offer gifts to Gao Shan. After Gao Shan thanked him, he looked up and saw the man who had been thinking about it day and night for a month and a half in the crowd.Quickly jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Yin Xi, smiling slightly.Seeing that he came back safe and sound, Yin Xi didn't have any scars except for being thinner and tanned, so she couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him, thinking it was outside, she let go of her hand again.

Gao Shan grinned, picked her up and got on the horse again, ignoring the eyes of the people in the capital, hugged Yin Xi tightly in his arms and drove towards the mansion, leaving Nangong Rang to follow helplessly. up.

When she returned to the princess mansion, Yin Xi still had Xu Hongrun on her face, and so did this person. He didn't know how to be reserved when he carried her on the horse like this on the street.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement from the people behind him. Seeing his head resting on his shoulder, he thought he was trying to rely on him, moved his shoulder, and whispered in his ear to tell him to get up, don't be so aggressive outside.Seeing that the mountain didn't move, Yin Xi was about to turn around, but after she pushed the mountain, the man slid off the horse with all his strength.Yin Xi's eyes narrowed, just in time Nangong Rang came and caught Gao Shan, preventing her from falling off such a high horse.

Gao Shan was already in a coma, his face was red, and it was extremely red, bad thoughts arose in his heart, Yin Xi hurried to help Gao Shan, but was stopped by Nangong Rang.After sending the person to the room, Nangong asked Yin Xi to wait outside the door first. Gaoshan's current appearance, I don't know what is going on, if he contracted a disease and infected the eldest princess, then this person will regret it for the rest of his life.

Yin Xi just stood at the door in a daze, looking at the person on the bed inside, and refused to leave. It was when Yin Luo came that she dragged Yin Xi out, but she saw that Yin Xi was in a trance. This was the first time she saw the emperor like this. General gaffe.

After a cup of tea, Nangong Rangcai came out of the room, and Yin Xi raised his head to look at him, his expressionless face was extremely majestic, but his eyes were a little fragile.

"How is the son-in-law?"

Nangong Rang had a strange expression and a hint of doubt, seeing the rapid changes in Yin Xi's eyes, he replied.

"Brother Gao is fine, it's just that he didn't pay attention to rest when he got busy in Chudi, and he has been on the road for the past few days, and he caught the wind and cold."

After hearing this, Yin Xi sighed slowly, as if her strength had been emptied, her shoulders dropped a little.

Seeing this, Nangong was very entangled. He never expected that the son-in-law of Hao Guo's incomparably noble eldest princess, his best friend, turned out to be a woman.But seeing the eldest princess like this, I don't know if she knows?If they knew, how much love should these two people have to be together in violation of the rules of this world?

It's not that Yin Xi didn't see Nangong's expression, but she was not in the mood to ask now, she passed Nangong and entered the door.Nangong handled it very well, Gao Shan's face is much better now than at the beginning, Yin Xi sat in front of the bed, just looked at him quietly, and then stroked the hair on the top of his head, very gentle.

It took Gao Shan an hour to wake up, only feeling dizzy and his throat was so dry, he wanted to call someone, but just as he raised his hand, he was held.

"My son-in-law, you're awake, but are you alright?"

A familiar voice came from next to his ear, and Takasugi's eyes still trembled a little.Yin Xi hurriedly asked someone to bring the medicine bowl, saw his uncomfortable appearance, gently helped him up, fed him and drank the medicine, saw that he had fallen asleep again, tucked in the quilt, and went out.

The events of August have passed, and September is not a leisurely time. Yin Xi and Yin Luo are busy with the royal autumn hunting. The emperor sent medicinal materials to treat the son-in-law. Hiri was entangled in Takasugi's identity and sighed repeatedly.He once asked Takasugi if the eldest princess knew about his identity?But seeing her frowning for a moment, she lowered her head.Nangong Zhixi, this friend, saw her suddenly pale face, so he could only turn around and leave.

Gao Shan began to improve slowly, but his body was still weak, but he still helped Yin Xi with his affairs, Nangong finally left and returned to Jiangnan.Seeing that the autumn is getting stronger, the heat that should have been restless has become calm, and it is the time when the red leaves are floating, and all the animals and people have started their new activities.
