[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

"Miss Zhang." On the night when the Heizhou All-Commerce Federation decided to raise coal prices, Kui Huangyi, dressed as a servant, came to Zhang's mansion in a dignified manner.Now he is pretending to be the servant of Hu Dongnian, the governor of the state, and with his head down, he hands me an invitation card from Hu's residence.

I smiled and didn't answer.What happened to Xiao Jin last time gave me a good excuse to avoid the banquet. Even the State Shepherd's Mansion couldn't force me to force me to do so. With the issue of coal prices, now, all the initiative is in my hands.Putting on airs, he sent away Kui Huangyi and the other Hu Dongnian people around him. Not long after, Kui Huangyi walked back to Zhangfu in a low-key manner, and entered my room familiarly.

"Good evening." I picked up the scissors and cut the candles.

"The next step is to get the exact location of the private mine." He sat down at the table and made tea.

"No." I put down the scissors, wiped my hands with a handkerchief, and sat down at the table. "I have to think about how to appease the person I offended today." The secretary of the All-China Chamber of Commerce in the coal-consuming industry will definitely treat me Very dissatisfied──even though they laughed and praised me for being young and promising after the meeting.

"It has nothing to do with me, I just want the result."

"Then don't ask too many questions, just wait for me to bring you the results." I took a cup of tea with a smile, took a sip, and found that the taste was just right, not that he usually brewed it when I was doing things. strong tea.I stayed on the soft bed beside me with my tea in my hand, letting Kui Huangyi do things by himself.He was used to finding out what he needed without my asking, and was soon at work.

Holding the tea in both hands, I looked out the half-closed window.The moonlight came in a little bit, but I couldn't see the moon.Yesterday Yan Tian made some pastries with other maids, and Wang Dali and his servants all wanted to eat them. I must remember to mention Yan Tian tomorrow and ask her to make more.This girl will definitely be reluctant again, talking about trouble or something...

"Go to sleep first." Suddenly, Kui Huangyi's voice came.

I shook my head and woke up from the state of daze, "Then I will excuse you."

I got up and went out the door, went to the side room and slept in my clothes.After sleeping for a while, when I woke up again, it was already the climax of the moon.I patted my cheeks, washed up a bit, and saw that the light was still on in my room, it seemed that Kui Huangyi hadn't left yet.I touched my empty stomach, turned around and went to the kitchen to make noodles.Eating at night is not good for the digestive system, and you will gain weight, but it’s really uncomfortable on an empty stomach, so it’s better to eat, if you really gain weight~

"Master Aoi?" I came back with two bowls of hot noodles and called outside the door.

By the way, this room originally belonged to me, so he is Nestlé Jiu occupying it, right?

A figure approaches and opens the door.

"Didn't I ask you to go to bed?" Kui Huangyi took the tray in my hand and let me into the room sideways.

I picked up the hem of my skirt and stepped through the door, smiling and saying, "I'm hungry."

"Did you cook it?" He put the noodles on the table, and stretched out his hand to push away the documents on the table.

Dislike my cooking skills?I smiled and gave him a pair of chopsticks.

He took the chopsticks, bowed his head and took a bite, "It's okay."

"Hehe, you are very skilled at work."

He looked at me expressionlessly, "I mean luckily no one will die."

I froze for a moment, "That's really rude. It's great that Aoi-sama is not dead. God bless Aoi-sama."

"Personal attack when you become angry." He didn't look at me, but turned back to the face in front of him, "Zhang Zelan, you are nothing more than that." At the end, there was a small sneer on the corner of his lips.

I'm furious. "Ms. Aoi's is not a personal attack?" I mocked my cooking skills as soon as I came up, and you are the worst, okay?

"I'm just talking about things."

"..."

He swallowed a mouthful of noodles and glanced at me, "It's hard to be a big player because of a small mind."

I looked at him, opened my mouth, choked for a long time and then laughed out of anger, "Ha, yes, you are right, the people's daughters are narrow-minded, and the Prime Minister Kui can pull a boat in his stomach, so don't worry about the little girl."

He looked up at me, "I'm not the prime minister yet." After saying that, he lowered his head to eat noodles.

You carried it with me, didn't you?I stared at him for a while, and finally laughed out loud, and lowered my head to eat noodles.Playing with him for too long, the face is all muddy.

After I finished eating, I packed up my things, "Master Kui, it's almost time to finish?" It has been nearly five months since he appeared in front of me from Longqing County, no matter how many arrangements are made, we should prepare Almost, once all the positions of the private mines are obtained, all the criminal evidence up to the state animal husbandry will be collected.

"Wait until December."

December?good time.In December, the black and white states will be blocked by heavy snow. Even if the black state shepherd is taken down, it will take a while for the court to get the news, and the high-ranking central government official who colluded with the black state state pastor must have no time to react.However, the time is good, and Kui Huangyi has the ability to grasp the situation in Heizhou - he can't single-handedly show the evidence, but be silenced by others... embarrassing.

"Just take care of yourself, don't worry about things that are not your turn to worry about." Kui Huangyi said suddenly.

I put the tray aside, "Of course I'm worried." If Xiao's mansion can't be removed, I will be in trouble. "You should also be careful. The Black State from December to January is already tense due to the shortage of various resources. If your actions hinder the normal operation of the State Shepherd's Office and cause delays in disaster relief work, then the DPRK and China will participate in you." The people in the Heizhou will not let you go." Even the people of Heizhou will not let you go.

"The disaster situation in Heizhou, is it like this every year?" Kui Huangyi stood up, took out a map of Heizhou, and clicked a few places on it with his fingers, "Only based on the number reported to the court, the disaster situation is mainly concentrated in the Qianli Mountains area , are all places in the extreme north, and the area affected by disasters all year round is not wide.”

"It's the most serious over there, but people have feet," I walked to his side, rolled up my sleeves, and stretched out my hand to draw a few times on the map. "When it's cold, many victims will flee to This area. It looks like the weather is going to be rough this year, at least as far as this area I guess.”

"Didn't the All-China Federation of Commerce discuss the flow of supplies this winter at today's meeting?"

"Yes, but today only about coal."

"You advocate raising coal prices." He looked at me.

"It does not involve civilian coal." I also looked up and looked back. "Coal prices will definitely rise this year. It is impossible to stop it. I just diverted my attention and put the burden of price increases on coal-consuming industries. Coal merchants are also gangsters." They will be a member of the State Federation of Commerce, and they will make a fortune, but they will not destroy the merchants of the coal-consuming industry." If they are destroyed, no one will patronize them in the future.A shrewd businessman doesn't kill the chicken to get the egg.

Kui Huangyi flexed his fingers, tapped on the table, and continued: "Directly banning or reducing the export of coal seems to be the best for the black state, but in fact it doesn't work at all. Other state capitals and the Chamber of Commerce The General Assembly will not allow it. In addition, the black states only account for a part of the coal, and the red states with the largest coal production can withstand the pressure to balance the price, and the coal outside the black states will not be greatly affected. "

I nodded, "That's right, overseas market prices will not actually rise sharply, so as long as the local civilian coal is well managed, the increase will be pressured on the coal-consuming industries that are more able to withstand it, and the rest will be regulated by market prices. Just go up, there is no need to intervene too much.”

Kui Huangyi paused, and asked, "Have you never thought about the workers in the coal-consuming industry?"

"There will be other industries accepting them. I don't think it's a big problem. At most, we can set up more porridge sheds. It will be fine after this winter. Natural disasters can't be stopped by anyone." I looked at him, "said Laizhou Shepherd is greedy, but without him, I am afraid that the situation will be worse. Song Chongfu, the current State Shepherd, has been in office for four years and has never forced people to rebel due to natural disasters. Heizhou It's a remarkable achievement for a brave folk."

Kui Huangyi folded his hands behind his back and looked sideways at me, "You don't think Song Chongfu is too low?"

I laughed and said, "Where are you going to find so many capable and high-minded officials? It's just to stand out from the dwarfs. That kind of official who is dedicated to the public and never enters the house is not in line with human nature." .No one expects too much from an official," I shrugged. "Everyone is happy if they do their part."

In the days that followed, the Xiao Mansion begged me in every possible way, but I pushed them all away.

One day, when I was reading a book in the courtyard, when I had a rare leisure time, Xiao Jin came again.

"Miss, that villain in the Xiao Mansion is asking to see you." The maid Yan Tian came over and blessed me.

"No." I turned a page.

Just a second.

When they are most anxious, they will lose their minds and allow themselves to be fished by mermaids.

"Miss, that bastard is about to barge in."

"Shoot out." I thought for a while, and added a bit viciously: "By the way, let some servants with loud voices yell at me about Xiao Jin beating the maid to death at Hu Dongnian's residence that day." I put down the book and read Looking at the bare dead tree, with his hands on the stone table and his head resting on it, he was thinking about the business of the powder shop.

"Miss." After a while, Yan Tian came over again.

"What's wrong?"

"Young Master Guan and Young Master Zhong are here to play with you."

Why?I smiled and stood up, "Go and welcome in."

"If I don't welcome you, Mr. Guan will run in by himself." Yan Tian followed me and walked to the hall together.

I smiled and said, "That's right."

From far away, I could already hear Guan Feixiang's voice, "Where is Zhang? I brought good wine as a gift today, is it good enough for friends?"

When I got closer, I heard Zhong Jietong nagging again, "Brother Fei Xiang, alcohol can mess with your sex, you should drink less."

"Hey! You still don't know my drinking capacity?"

Zhong Jietong said angrily: "You dare to go to the study to study while smelling of alcohol, it's not dignified, it's outrageous!"

I rolled up my sleeves and walked in, "Just fly as you please." Guan Feixiang was obviously trying to make Zhong Jietong angry on purpose, haha.

Guan Feixiang threw a wine bottle at me, and I reached out to catch it in a hurry.

"Thank you." I took a sip and laughed.What Guan Feixiang gave me was sweet fruit wine.

"It's in broad daylight..." Zhong Jietong walked over with a frown, and gave me a small sugar figurine, "Zhang Zhang, I saw you liked it at the temple fair last time. If you want to play, play with this, don't drink." He said Flicking his sleeves at Guan Feixiang, he was so angry that the scholar's hat on his head was crooked.

I couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.It's interesting to see the two of them, one intentionally and the other unintentionally fighting.

"Come on, Zhang," Guan Feixiang put his arms on Zhong Jietong's shoulders and stood crookedly, "Let's go ride a horse!"

"Riding a horse?" I smiled and walked out beside them, "I can't."

"Hey!" Guan Feixiang patted himself on the back of the head, "Why do you look like Ah Zhong?"

I smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, you can lift the two of us by yourself, and it's fine if you are with us when we run away."

"Although it's not polite to run away, a man should not be afraid of danger," Zhong Jietong tried his best to pull his clothes that were pulled crooked by Guan Feixiang, "but a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. If something happens, Xiaosheng I have no objection to running away."

I glanced at him, "You know a gentleman doesn't stand behind a wall, so don't always..." to cause trouble.

"Zhangzhang, this is giving up your life for righteousness..." His fair and elegant cheeks were tense, and the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were brought together, pointing to the blue sky, shaking his head.

I couldn't help Zhong Jietong telling the big sun at noon his understanding of the debate between righteousness and benefit, and turned his head to whisper to Guan Feixiang: "Feixiang, are you really studying with Jietong?" Speaking of poetry and book righteousness, Zhong Jie Tong Zhun will enter this... strange state.

"Hahahaha~ What Ah Zhong said is actually correct. When he really talks too long-winded, just interrupt him. He won't be angry, at most he will be sulking with himself."

I squinted at him, "You bully Jietong people to be honest and have a good temper."

"...you go and try to tell the gangsters and rich brothers in Yuanyou City that Ah Zhong has a good temper..." Guan Feixiang shrank his shoulders, "This is the first time I have seen someone who is smarter than me. cause trouble."

So you also know that you are very troublesome? "Feixiang, you have lived with Jietong for so many days, have you discovered his secret survival skills?" Zhong Jietong has no background, but always speaks out for justice. It is a miracle that he survived.

Guan Feixiang leaned his elbow on my shoulder, imitating Zhong Jietong who was still talking, and looked at the blue sky, "Good man, of course someone will help you." He turned back to look at me, and said with a smile: "Ah Zhang is not Was it one of them who helped him?"

I shook my head again and laughed.Idiots have the blessing of idiots, nothing will happen to Zhong Jietong.

"Whoosh!"

We were having a good time walking on the road, when an arrow shot at me unexpectedly, Guan Feixiang quickly pulled me away, Zhong Jietong was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to my side.I waved my hand to tell the servants of the Zhang family not to chase, and come back to protect us first.

"Chapter?"

"Azhang?"

The two of them looked at me worriedly, I waved my hand to indicate that it was okay, and squinted my eyes to stare at the direction of the cold arrow.Of course the assassin couldn't find it, and there was no clue on the arrow he picked up.Who sent the person here?Is this a warning, or is it intentional to get rid of me?

Because I was assassinated on a prosperous street, other passers-by panicked when they saw this, and some people kept yelling, the crowded street became more and more chaotic, Feixiang, Jietong and I were all surrounded by the crowd. Dispersed, only a part of the Zhang family attendants followed me to death.

"Ah!" There was a scream from the other side of the crowd.

I saw Feixiang and Jietong on that side.

Non-lethal arrows, a chaos, flying and Jietong...

not good!

It's a serial bureau!

I rushed to them with my people, but it was too late.

"My son!" I saw an old woman kneeling on the ground, hugging a man with a pale face and wailing, "Why did you get murdered by a gangster!" Her wrinkled fingers pointed at Feixiang and Jietong, "You two murderers! I want to sue the Shangguan and let you kill my son!"

Government?I pursed my lips and waved for someone to check on the man who was suspected to be dead, but another team of government officials arrived "just in time" and stopped my movements.

"The government is doing business, and idlers are not allowed to interfere!" The leader of the Yacha, who was wearing a black official uniform, held the knife at his side and shouted loudly: "Come on! Detain those two people for me!"

official government.

This time it was clear that someone deliberately provoked the incident, taking advantage of the chaos to plant the murder case on Feixiang and Jietong.And the purpose of the other party doing this, judging from recent events, is for me.

What a state shepherd's mansion.

I smiled and gestured to Feixiang and Jietong who were taken away.

Even the only son of the steward of the Jidao family dared to frame it. It seems that Kui Huangyi and I really forced the official sitting in the state pastoral mansion to jump over the wall this time.

I looked at the direction where Feixiang and Jietong were taken away, stood for a while, then turned around and said softly, "I'm back."

"Yes." Yan Tian blessed me.

I'm afraid you didn't move.

I lower my eyes.
