After I became a widow

"My lord, the man is dead!"

Early the next morning, Mo Yan came to report in a hurry, with an ugly expression on his face.

Xiao Beihuai asked, "How did he die?"

Mo Yan spread out his hands, and there were two silver needles lying in his palms, "The silver needles are poisoned, and one needle seals the throat."

"check…"

As soon as Xiao Beihuai said a word, Mo Yan took over, "The murderer is also dead."

Mo Yan said: "It's the guard in the prison. After killing someone, he committed suicide without leaving any clues."

"Oh, it's loyal," Xiao Beihuai sneered.

"Then continue to arrest people, even if you chase them back to the capital, you must kill them all, leaving no one behind."

Since you don't want to reveal the secret so much, let them be fulfilled.

The dead are the ones who can keep their mouths shut.

Mizhou started a clean-up operation, and no one will be left behind who has contributed to the epidemic in Mizhou.

And it's not a silent killing. Every time a person is killed, Mo Yan will arrange for someone to send the body to the execution ground and tell the people of Mizhou what these people have done.

Stealing corpses, arresting people, passing false orders, setting people on fire, etc., no one is innocent.

The people in Mizhou thought that the epidemic was a natural disaster like the snowstorm, but they didn't expect it to be a man-made disaster. For a while, everyone was furious, wanting to crush the bones of those who caused them to suffer so many crimes.

Especially those whose relatives died of the epidemic, they stayed at the execution ground almost all day long, waiting for Mo Yan and the others to bring their bodies over.

They are suffering so much, there must be a place to vent, and the people must feel revenged, and then they will start a new life again.

Xiao Beihuai was not relentless, as more and more people died, some wealthy businessmen in Mizhou panicked.

This huge city of Mizhou is only relying on the few officials in the government to prevent it from rotten like this, it must be the collusion of officials and businessmen to harm the people.

What's more, the imperial court in Beijing also has people who back it up, and with the orders from above, they have contributed a lot in causing trouble for Mizhou.

When they saw Xiao Beihuai sharpening his sword, they knew that sooner or later the fire would burn on themselves. Those who were well-informed knew that His Highness Duke Huai couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and he was not afraid of anyone.

But they didn't want to die, and began to rack their brains to please Xiao Beihuai, hoping that King Huai would let them live.

For those who were not clear about their minds, they gave Xiao Beihuai some money, and promised that whatever His Highness Duke Huai wanted, they would get it, and he just begged Duke Huai not to touch them.

There are also some who are a little clearer, realizing that Duke Huai attaches great importance to the Princess Huai who has just arrived in Mizhou, so they are thinking about the way for Princess Huai.

Thus, for the first time, Su Jingqing received a woman who was sent by someone else to warm his bed and prolong his offspring.

Su Jingqing: "?"

"Why do I still have my share?"

He is also very puzzled.

It was Bai Shu who came to spread the word, because those who wanted to bribe Su Jingqing approached him.

Originally, Bai Shu wanted to reject it outright, but couldn't resist giving more gifts to Xiao Beihuai, thinking that it would be too unfair to his son, Bai Shu felt that it was necessary to let him know that he also accepted them politely.

This damn comparison is really a bit indescribable.

"There are rumors outside that the prince only loves the young master, and there are also rumors that the prince is afraid of internal affairs and wants to follow the young master's way and let the young master blow the prince's pillow wind."

Su Jingqing: "Someone is starting to steal the prince's job of warming the bed," Su Jingqing felt that he was going to get rich.

"My lord, do you want to see those people?" Bai Shu asked for instructions.

Su Jingqing shook his head, "No, I don't want to change the bed warmer right now."

"You said a lot of people were sent to the prince. I'll go and meet the people over there, and then send the ones to my side to the prince's side."

You have me, everyone has it, and this time I didn't suffer.

After nestling in the house for several days, Su Jingqing was finally willing to go out.

Su Jingqing originally planned to go out to see those wealthy businessmen when Siyan and Xiangyu were wronged by him last time, but Xiao Beihuai took the initiative to bring up the matter of someone coveting him, and expressed his attitude with righteous words, Su Jingqing I was lazy and didn't go.

Now that someone who is not long-sighted comes to the door again, he has to show his face.

His man, unless he doesn't want it, no one can grab it.

Before going to meet people, Siyan and Xiangyu actively cleaned up Su Jingqing, trying to make their son look like Princess Huai, so that people dare not look directly at him.

Then, he chose a courtyard and asked Bai Shu to bring those wealthy businessmen and all the people and gifts they wanted to give.

Su Jingqing was sitting in the main seat with a hand stove in his hand, and his eyes swept over the group of people who knelt down to pay their respects as soon as they entered the door.

The rich merchants are all well-built, and it takes a lot of effort to bend their knees.The person who sent it was graceful and handsome, and there was actually a man among them.

Su Jingqing didn't cry out, but pointed to the two men and asked, "What's going on?"

The people present couldn't figure out the attitude of Su Jingqing, Princess Huai, for a while, so they didn't dare to speak to her.

Su Jingqing said casually: "I have the guts to give it away, why don't you even dare to open your mouth, you don't want to make introductions, how can you get into the eyes of the prince?"

At this moment, he was stupid enough to give Xiao Beihuai away, and his mind was not very good, so he didn't hear what Su Jingqing said.

The wealthy businessman who chose a man to give it to him immediately replied, "It's a villain who heard that the prince dotes on the princess, and thinking that the princess is a man, he thought that the prince might like men more."

"Princess, we don't have any bad intentions. We just want to find a way to survive. These people and things are at the disposal of the prince and concubine. I just ask the concubine to be magnanimous and intercede for us. I will change my mind and start a new life in the future. Only the prince and concubine will follow suit. "

After talking about the reason, he also mentioned the purpose by the way, expressing his loyalty.

While the others thought that he should not let him take the lead, they spoke for themselves one after another, and took out all kinds of bargaining chips. Not to mention the value of the things they sent, they took out 10 taels of money and tickets at a time. It also hinted that if Su Jingqing and Xiao Beihuai felt that there were too few, they would immediately go home and pick up the number.

Thinking about Xiao Beihuai's disputes with the ministers of the court and China for disaster relief money, and offending so many talents to collect enough money, these people open their mouths for 10 taels or 10 taels, which sounds ironic.

Thinking about how the money came from, Su Jingqing felt that it was too cheap for them to raid their homes and behead them.

Su Jingqing's eyes were heavy, he lost his mind and slowly found faults and frightened others, he made the decision for Xiao Beihuai.

"My concubine doesn't bother with you about giving away people. You can spend money to eliminate disasters. You can take the initiative to hand over all your family wealth within three days. This concubine pleads with the prince to leave you a whole body. Wait for the prince to make a move."

"You've all seen what happened to those people who died in front. If you think it doesn't matter how you die, you can do whatever you want."

The faces of the rich merchants suddenly changed, and they raised their heads and looked at Su Jingqing in disbelief, "Wang... Wangfei?"

"The princess wants both our wealth and our lives?"

Those who reacted showed ruthlessness on their faces.

Su Jingqing nodded, "That's what it means, that's right."

"Don't you come to the door because you realize that you can't escape death, why should you be surprised?"

"You can't think that this princess will be kinder than the prince, right?"

Su Jingqing chuckled, "You guys have misunderstood me. This princess is the one the prince likes. We don't have the same hobbies. How can we get married?"

Thinking of Xiao Beihuai's methods, the kneeling group couldn't help shaking their bodies, their faces turned pale.

There were also those who were timid and couldn't stand the stimulation, and passed out on the spot.

With such courage, he dared to amass money and make troubles. The common people were really easy to bully.

Su Jingqing didn't care about the fainted one, and continued to ask the others, "You can think about it slowly, my princess has time to spend with you."

He changed his posture and raised his legs, leaning against the back of the chair, looking leisurely.

The rich merchants couldn't kneel down, they didn't dare to vent their anger, they didn't dare to say what they wanted to say, because at this moment they realized that the courtyard was full of guards, and they didn't even bring a servant in. They had to agree to Princess Huai's condition if they didn't agree, otherwise it would be impossible to get out alive.

This is not to save face and summon them, this is clearly to invite you into the urn and catch the turtle in the urn!

This Princess Huai is really vicious.

Su Jingqing lowered his head and played with the hand stove, and didn't know what these people were thinking, even if he knew, he could only say it was a coincidence, and he didn't come here for Yinliang in the first place.

It can only be said that it is really convenient to have someone available by your side.

Su Jingqing didn't wait for an answer, Xiao Beihuai came first, and asked someone to move a chair to sit next to Su Jingqing, and watch the play with him.

He first glanced at the people who were said to be preparing for him, and commented: "It's not good looking, it's not as good-looking as this king, so you should take a second look."

Su Jingqing looked sideways, looked at Xiao Beihuai seriously, and then nodded in agreement, "In terms of beauty, no one can compare with you."

Hearing that Su Jingqing made fun of Duke Huai's appearance, the kneeling people became even more frightened, broke into a cold sweat, and completely believed what Princess Huai said, that he could persuade Duke Huai.

It's just that he couldn't say good things for them, but wanted them to die instead.

"That's right, otherwise how could this king be in the eyes of the princess."

When Xiao Beihuai said this, he wasn't annoyed at all, but rather proud.

Su Jingqing himself was happy to hear these words, if there were not so many people around, he would have asked Xiao Beihuai what kind of reward he wanted.

"My lord, my concubine, the villain is willing to give up all his wealth, I just ask the lord and concubine to leave a queen for the villain."

When Su Jingqing and Xiao Beihuai were looking at each other affectionately, someone came to ruin the scenery.

After the man said this in a desolate manner, he kowtowed several times.

The others also came back to their senses and began to negotiate terms.

The same thing is that they let go of the old and the young in the family, leave a queen or something, and still want to survive.

Xiao Beihuai raised his eyebrows slightly, and agreed quite quickly.

"Lock it up first, and let me see how your family reacts. It's not good to die too many people, but you can't let them all go. I hope there are smart people in your family."

At this point, there is nothing to say, Xiao Beihuai took the stove away, and forced his big hand to rest assured that Su Jingqing was holding it, "Holding this king's hand makes it warmer."

Su Jingqing: "..."

"Your hands are too big," he disliked.

Xiao Beihuai consciously shook Su Jingqing's hand instead, "This is appropriate."

Then he took people away, leaving others to deal with the aftermath.

Siyan whispered to Xiangyu in the back, "I even eat vinegar from a hand stove."

Xiang Yu corrected, "That's not called jealousy, it's called fighting for favor."

Siyan spread her hands, "No problem."

She even felt that the prince came here just to take the young master away.

The voices of crying and shouting rang out from behind, and neither of the two people walking in front turned back. They would not soften for such a rich and heartless person.

It's just that so many people were arrested at once, Mizhou, which had been calm for a few days, became chaotic again.

Since he is a wealthy family, there are many servants and thugs in the family. Those who can't figure it out unite to try to snatch them back. Some spend money to hire killers to assassinate Xiao Beihuai and Su Jingqing, and some want to bribe the people around them. Poisoned, full of tricks, very lively.

As a result, not many people noticed those who packed up their things and wanted to run.

Run, naturally you can't run away alone, Xiao Beihuai first arranged for people to go to various mansions to check, take away the evidence that can be obtained, and search the rest of the house later.

Of course, there are also evidences of these wealthy households committing crimes, Xiao Beihuai does not intend to wrong anyone.

If it is serious, the family will be confiscated and sent to prison. If it is less serious, half of the family property will be taken, and the criminal will be killed, and the others will not be moved.

In a short period of time, Mizhou was completely rectified by Xiao Beihuai.

The collected gold and silver treasures are comparable to half of the national treasury.

Xiao Beihuai: "It really is money that touches people's hearts."

"This is only found in the homes of half of the rich families in Michigan."

Xiao Beihuai's tone became colder and colder, the wealthy households could find so much money, how much money did they collect from their filial superiors?

The treasury is clinking poorly, but the people below are rich.

Xiao Beihuai looked at Su Jingqing and said, "You're right, the roots here are rotten."

"Even the whole Dayong is rotten."

Su Jingqing squeezed Xiao Beihuai's hand tightly, and refuted his words, "No, there's still you."

"If the roots are there, there will be salvation."
