The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

After he finished speaking, he walked to the place, took off the shoulder pole on his shoulders, and poured all the soil in the basket onto the cart.

Then someone pushed the cart to transport the soil to other places.

"More than a thousand people are busy here just to build a school?"

Then is the scale of this school a bit too big? It looks bigger than the Imperial College, but it's also because there is a lot of land on this farm, and wasteland is not valuable. If it were in Chang'an City, which family could afford such a large area?

After a long time, the two returned to the next farm and met together.

"What did you find out?"

"The new house that King Jingyang built on the farm is still under construction. The workshop is also under construction. I don't know if they are going to build a new workshop. Anyway, it's a big move and there are many people. Have you found out?"

"I have found out. The area next to our farm is said to be building a school, but it doesn't look like it. Who would build a school with thousands of people and occupy such a large area? Even the Imperial College is not much better. But the people working there said so. I wonder if what he said is true."

"Why don't we ask someone else?" Another person said after hearing this: "Wait, I'll go ask. Anyway, it's close to us, it'll only take a while."

After two quarters of an hour, the person came back.

"How is it?"

"It also said that they are going to build a school." The person who came back had a puzzled look on his face.

His idea was the same as his companions.

What kind of school is this?

"You also feel something is wrong, right?"

"Yes, this posture is like building a palace."

"Then tell me, is it possible that they are building a palace in the name of building a school?" One of them frowned and said while thinking.

"Why? Privately building a palace is a capital crime. If the palace is built according to the will of the palace, how could the master not know? There is no need to hide it like this."

"But I heard that the person in charge of leading thousands of people here is Yan Shaojiang, the supervisor of craftsmen, and his brother Yan Liben is also there, and even many officials from the Ministry of Works. If it is just to build a school in this wilderness, it feels wrong no matter how you look at it, it is 15 points wrong."

This is too much noise, and too many people are used.

An ordinary academy, with a hundred people, can be completed in two months at most.

And what about the manor next door?

It's outrageous, too outrageous.

"Then how should we explain to the young master?"

"We can only tell the truth and try to figure out the other side's purpose. This is the business of the superiors and has nothing to do with us. We are just responsible for inquiring about the news. To put it bluntly, who are we? We have no right to interfere in the affairs of the nobles."

After saying this, the two returned to their residence in a huff and sent a letter to Lawyer Pei in Chang'an City.

The next day, Lawyer Pei sat on the couch in the room with a frown on the letter he received in the morning.

School?

What school?

His doubts were the same as those of the two people who inquired about the news.

That movement was like building a palace, and you told me that they were building a school?

The more Lawyer Pei thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

I think the school is just a superficial statement. Li Fu might be tinkering with something unknown behind the scenes.

This statement is just a cover.

Princess Linhai packed up with the help of her maid, and came to Lawyer Pei leisurely.

"My husband, it's time to have breakfast." Princess Linhai reminded.

In recent days, Princess Linhai's attitude towards Lawyer Pei has been lukewarm, because when she came back from the palace, she asked Lawyer Pei what he did outside to make His Majesty so angry that he was directly exiled to Jingzhou.

Lawyer Pei hesitated and refused to say anything, always finding excuses to get away with it.

Seeing that Lawyer Pei didn't tell the truth, Princess Linhai gradually lost her patience.

Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask.

Husband and wife are one body, I am planning for you, but you are hiding the truth from me.

Who wouldn't be heartbroken if this happened?

In this case, she didn't care, she ate and drank at home, and she didn't take the Pei family's affairs to heart.

The Pei family father and son treated her as an outsider. If something happened, they could not blame her. After all, she had her own princess's mansion in Chang'an City, and she did not expect the Pei family to support her.

"Oh, OK, I'll go right away." Lawyer Pei responded.

Suddenly, he thought of what his father asked about his manor.

"Madam, our family has a manor in Jingyang County. Do you have the deed of the manor?" Lawyer Pei asked.

Princess Linhai thought about it, and then nodded.

"Since weThe deed is naturally in my hands. "Princess Linhai responded: "What's the matter?"

Lawyer Pei shook his head.

"Nothing, nothing, I'm just asking." Lawyer Pei showed a perfunctory smile on his face.

Princess Linhai also smiled, with a bit of coldness in her smile.

This attitude again, obviously there is something, but she just won't tell me.

Forget it, forget it, I'm asking unnecessary questions.

"As for the deed, I will let the maid send it to your study, and I won't care about the rest." After Princess Linhai finished speaking, she walked out with her personal maid.

No matter how stupid Lawyer Pei was, he could hear that Her Royal Highness was angry.

He quickly got up and chased after her, and got close to Princess Linhai to coax her.

"Madam, Madam, don't be angry. "Lawyer Pei said, "It's really nothing. My father asked me to ask about this matter, but my father didn't say why he asked about the manor. I guess it's because there has been a lot of commotion in Jingyang County recently."

"There is a lot of commotion in Jingyang County? How big can a Jingyang County be?" Princess Linhai was unhappy.

"What big commotion can it be? Madam, have you forgotten who is in Jingyang County now? It's your good cousin, the King of Jingyang." Lawyer Pei said, "Since the beginning of spring, he has been making a lot of trouble there and has never stopped."

"He is making trouble for his own sake, and it has nothing to do with us." Princess Linhai said, "Why did my father take it to heart?"

"Madam, don't forget that our manor in Jingyang County is right next to the manor of the King of Jingyang. "Lawyer Pei said: "There is such a big commotion over there. We have to appease the people in the manor to avoid any trouble."

Princess Linhai nodded in agreement after hearing what Lawyer Pei said.

"I see. Alas, this should be my responsibility. I should go to the manor in person and appease the people there." Princess Linhai smiled and said: "I neglected it."
