Domineering lord I fall in love

On the way back, Luo Sheng looked unhappy, his eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about something, Duan Xiaolou couldn't bear the loneliness, stretched out his hand and asked, "Luo Sheng, are you really angry?"

Luo Sheng looked down at Duan Xiaolou's big eyes full of worry, unconsciously sighed, reached out and rubbed Duan Xiaolou's hair and smiled slightly, she didn't want Duan Xiaolou to be worried because of herself, but she was happy at this moment, There are people around you who care about you.

"Actually, Huang Yinchu didn't do anything bad. You don't have to be so arrogant." Duan Xiaolou felt that Luo Sheng was right, but he didn't know what Huang Yinchu was wrong. After all, he wanted to see flowers, so Luo Sheng brought himself here Huating, the hospitality is also good...

"Huang Yinchu and his son have eaten the imperial grain and national tax for so many years, but they only know how to plant grass and grow flowers. What use do I want him for?" , as a marquis of one party, but he is content in the square inch of the Mihua Pavilion, corrupt officials use their names to increase miscellaneous taxes, princes and generals are either collude with others, or indulge in fun, and officials are like this, chaos in the world is only in front of us."

Luo Sheng's expression was heavy, and Duan Xiaolou's expression also became heavy. The world, princes and generals, were never in Duan Xiaolou's thoughts. She knew that Yuan Wang rebelled, and that her brother had fought against foreign enemies with General Dragon and Tiger. It was interesting to hear the story, but now listening to Luo Sheng's story, it felt very heavy in my heart.

"However, at least there are princes like you who urge them and supervise them, so if there are problems, they will find a way to solve them, so the world will not be in chaos!" Duan Xiaolou grabbed Luo Sheng, feeling like he was holding Luo Sheng. A piece of driftwood drifted with her in the boundless world, not knowing where it was going to go, and my heart was full of fear, but more of joy.

Luo Sheng tilted his head, lifted Duan Xiaolou's chin with one hand, started to notice Duan Xiaolou's smiling face, touched the smooth skin with his thumb, and said with a smile, "I can't do it alone, at least, I hope Huang Yinchu can help me."

When Luo Sheng returned to the post station, it was already dark, and Yu Zhu'er came up to greet her early. Duan Xiaolou felt uncomfortable when he saw Yu Zhu'er, and he felt uncomfortable all over, but it was not easy to save Luo Sheng's face, so he followed behind Che put his hands in his chest and said nothing, who knew that Luo Sheng just nodded slightly and walked in, Yu Zhu'er was not angry at all, and followed behind unhurriedly.

It turned out that Yuzhu'er had already prepared dinner, and the food would be served when the two came back. Duan Xiaolou felt that it hadn't been long since he had eaten, and he didn't have much appetite, so he declined and left the table first. caught up.

"Miss Duan, don't you want to see me?" Yu Zhu'er always spoke with her big eyes glistening with water, her brows slightly wrinkled, and she looked so pitiful. He has no temper towards Yuzhu'er, but this person and she both like Luo Sheng, if they are not rivals in love, Duan Xiaolou might like Yuzhu'er very much.

"What's the matter?" Duan Xiaolou's expression turned pale, Yuzhu'er is too gentle, she doesn't like to get angry even though she is gentle, but she really occupies the status of Tang Wang's side concubine, so she can only express her dissatisfaction on her face superior.

"If you don't want to see me, then... I'll ask them to deliver dinner to your room, eat as much as you want!" After Yu Zhu'er finished speaking, seeing Duan Xiaolou's expression change, she pursed her mouth as if dissatisfied, and then Quickly added, "There are shrimp dumplings that you like, His Highness specially ordered them."

Duan Xiaolou turned around, looked at Yu Zhu'er seriously and said, "Why do you bother? I'm by Tang Wang's side, so you're not angry at all?"

Yu Zhu'er was taken aback for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Duan Xiaolou to ask such a question, then she laughed, looked at her and said, "My lord, I have to think about the people in the world, I only think about my lord. It's just that my lord has too many things on my mind. Such a girl who has never left her deep boudoir can't help the prince at all. But Miss Duan, you are different. I can tell that the prince likes you very much and will tell you what is on his mind. What can you do for the prince... I think , you women in the Jianghu are free and unfettered, but, at least for the sake of the people in the world, Miss Duan, just spend more time with the prince!"

"You are really virtuous and virtuous." After Duan Xiaolou sighed and said this sentence, he turned around and left, leaving Yu Zhu'er watching in place. He didn't know if Duan Xiaolou was still angry, and he didn't dare to chase after him. After chasing, he had no choice but to turn around and ask someone to deliver a copy of the shrimp dumpling dim sum that had just come out of the cage to Duan Xiaolou.

Duan Xiaolou was not at ease all the time, and it was even more uncomfortable after listening to Yuzhu'er. She said that Yuzhu'er was virtuous and virtuous, but she was not sarcastic, but took it for granted. She takes it more seriously than herself, as if she is the only one competing for favor and jealousy.Duan Xiaolou asked himself that he couldn't do it, but what he couldn't do was done by Tang Wang's side concubine. Could it be that Yu Zhuer was the one who treated Luo Sheng more sincerely between the two of them?Yu Zhu'er is more qualified to stay by Luo Sheng's side?

Feeling bored, she looked at the snacks brought by the servants again, gagged her mouth in anger and got up and left the post. She didn't know where she was going, but felt that the room was stuffy, so she came out for a walk.

Luo Sheng didn't know if he had finished eating, he was still in the front hall, Duan Xiaolou simply slipped through the back door, but before he went out, he saw the guard pushing and shoving a frail scholar, the scholar begged to see King Tang, where is the guard? Ken?There are so many people who want to see Tang Wang, who can meet anyone?

Duan Xiaolou heard him say that he was a clerk in Lin'an Mansion, recalled the homeless people he met today when he went out with Luo Sheng, and asked, "What's your name?"

"The villain's name is Zhou Jin, and he is a clerk in the Lin'an mansion. He wants to meet the king of Tang and report that there are officials in Lin'an who have deceived the superiors and subordinates to increase the grain tax..."

Such a coincidence?Duan Xiaolou held him with one hand and said, "Then follow me!"

"Miss Duan..." Duan Xiaolou was quick, but the guards were in a difficult situation. After all, Tang Wang was staying, and if something happened, their heads were going to be moved.

"It's okay, there's Lu Li inside, I'll tell him!" Duan Xiaolou is not stupid, it would be bad if Luo Sheng is really injured by a fake assassin, but there is still Lu Li, let Lu Li check it out. I know it all!

Before Duan Xiaolou dragged the people in, Lu Li had already come out, with a grim look on his face. He glared at Duan Xiaolou as if blaming her for making her own way, but said nothing. He stood in front of Zhou Jin and arranged for the inspection. Duan Xiaolou was free, Three steps at a time and two steps, he jumped up to Luo Sheng, said with a smile, "Luo Sheng, it's a good thing, the secretary of Lin'an Mansion, Zhou Jin, came to report the illegal tax collection, isn't it much more convenient for you to investigate now? "

"Zhou Jin?" Luo Sheng repeated the name after hearing the name.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"In the second year of the Qiande County Examination, the famous scholar who failed in Lin'an Prefecture was named Zhou Jin."

"There are so many people in the exam, do you even remember those who failed?"

"Zhou Jin's literary talents are excellent, and his essays are clear. If it's not for the extreme point of view in the article, it's either Huiyuan or Jingyuan." Luo Sheng smiled slightly, "That essay caused a lot of shock among the examiners back then. Make the decision, report to Guozijian along the way, Guozijian Jijiu mentioned this matter to me."

"Even you know what he wrote back then?"

"Zhou Jin thought that the rampant barbarians are all due to the weakness of the imperial court. They tried to protect the country through the law of marriage and tribute. The barbarians are greedy and will invade the Central Plains." Speculated, "Did he say something wrong?"

"Hmm... It shouldn't be wrong." Luo Sheng turned his head to look at Duan Xiaolou, "I don't know if that Zhou Jin outside the door is the impassioned scholar who failed the exam back then."

Back then, Zhou Jin wrote an article satirizing the government, and was once reported to make false comments on the government, but he didn't deal with it that year.

While the two were talking, Lu Li had finished his cross-examination, and told King Tang that this Zhou Jin was really the failed scholar they mentioned just now.Luo Sheng smiled at Duan Xiaolou before ordering him to come in.

Zhou Jin was very thin and pale, but he was excited when he saw the king of Tang. He cited a large number of collusion between the grain officials and tax officials of Lin'an Prefecture, and he also brought an account book, which recorded dozens of tax items in Lin'an Prefecture in recent years. species, far exceeding court taxes.

"Is this the account book of the Lin'an Mansion?" Luo Sheng flipped through it briefly, and then asked Zhou Jin together. However, the most complete one is in the tax official's office, and he only recorded part of it based on the accounts he handled.

"I already know about this matter, but it is very difficult to thoroughly investigate the accounts of Lin'an Mansion based on the account books you have recorded." Luo Sheng and Zhou Jin said this, but Duan Xiaolou took the account book and started to look through it. The "poll tax", "chicken tax", and "straw tax" are dumbfounded.

Over there, Zhou Jin rolled his eyes and asked, "Your Highness, do you want more evidence?"

"It would be best if you could give me a list of the people involved in this matter." Luo Sheng gave Zhou Jin a few orders before sending him away, and asking Lu Li to arrange guards, so he was free.

Duan Xiaolou was finally able to ask the question in his heart, "How do you know that this is not the account book of Lin'an Mansion, it is very neat!"

"There is not even an official seal, and the format is messed up. How can it be the account books of Lin'an Prefecture? If the account books of Lin'an Prefecture are made like this, the tax officials here will change every year." After explaining, Luo Sheng looked at Duan Xiaolou. With a shocked look on his face, he laughed straight away, "I don't blame you, ordinary people don't know these things."

Duan Xiaolou pouted, she had never even seen the account book of Qinghong Villa, let alone the government's account book, feeling embarrassed, said angrily, "I'll go and steal the real one for you!"

"Don't make trouble, I have my own arrangements."
