Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Shi Che sat upright in the hall, and Butler Fan took the tea from the maid and put it beside Shi Che.

"My lord, this old slave has something to report."

Generally speaking, if there is something that can be said directly, Butler Fan will say it directly. There is no need for this. Obviously, the thing that I want to say now cannot be heard by others. out, back out.

Butler Fan's eyes turned red, and he threw himself on his knees in front of Shi Che, "Your Highness! This old slave is ashamed of Your Highness!" After speaking, he still burst into tears.

"Uncle Fan, what's wrong with you?" Shi Che was extremely puzzled. When he was a child, he was taken out of the palace by his brother to play, and then he got lost. It was the man in front of him who picked him up and led him to look for his brother on the street before he was able to return to the palace.

Later, when he was a little older, he had to move out of the palace, and he could no longer live in the palace. The prince had to move out of the palace when he reached a certain age. Unlike his brother who was a prince, he could still live in the palace. This person was not doing well before, so he let this person work in his house.

Because this person is capable and considerate of serving him, being a queen, this person will naturally become his housekeeper and help him take care of the manor.

Besides, it's been a few years...

Therefore, he still has a lot of affection for the person in front of him, and he also trusts the person in front of him very much. Generally, he also calls this person Uncle Fan.

Butler Fan hurriedly pulled out the long letter from his arms and gave it to him with both hands, even tearing up: "It's the old slave who taught his nephew to let go of this big mistake."

Shi Che was still a little puzzled, but he took the letter and read it. When he saw the content of the letter, he stood up in shock.

Butler Fan was still in tears: "This old slave just wanted to put a lot of pressure on the tax, because that is the old slave's nephew, you know, my lord, this old slave has no son, just a nephew, and it hurts just like his own son. He collected heavy taxes in Lizhou, and the Noble Banks in Lizhou reported it. The old slave thought that there were only heavy taxes, but he didn't expect that there were so many things, so he helped to suppress it, and didn't report it to the lord. I know, now, the backhands he left have all been taken away, and I don't know who took it away. He asked the old slave to report this. He must have known that he could not escape the death penalty. I just think how much my wife and children can do It's not a pity for the old slave to die, but I ask the lord to see that his conscience has not been completely wiped out, and he wants to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Please help the emperor to spare his wife and children. His wife and children are nothing. You know, he's in charge of everything."

Shi Che's face was as deep as iron, "You really only knew that he had a heavy tax before, and didn't know anything else?"

Noble Bank can not only deposit and withdraw money to make money, but it is also a channel for him to collect information from various places.

Butler Fan immediately kowtowed heavily, his kowtow was bleeding, and he cried, "Your Highness treats this old slave with great kindness. If the old servant still tells a lie, it will be struck by thunder, and he will never be born again!"

Looking at the blood on the ground,

Shi Che couldn't bear it after all, "Okay, don't knock, this king has to enter the palace again quickly, and this matter must not be known to others."

He had no idea that his housekeeper would deceive him. He still trusted the housekeeper too much. He always thought that there was nothing unusual in the area of ​​Lizhou. He didn't expect that Qiu Pusheng's hand would be stretched out a long time ago, and Prime Minister Dou was also involved. , Dali Siqing and other officials, they even arrested people to serve as Qiu Pusheng's private army training, so much of the overcharged tax fell into Qiu Pusheng's hands, not to mention, I don't know that Lizhou area has starved to death in the past two years. how many people……

The people and family are the bottom line of his imperial brother. His imperial brother had already decided to deal with Qiu Pusheng, and now he has to deal with the poisonous snake Qiu Pusheng!

After walking a few steps, when he was about to cross the threshold, Shi Che still turned his head and added: "Until everything is settled, don't go anywhere, just stay in this palace, and when things are settled, you... Pack your things and find a place to retire."

I didn't tell him about such a big thing, which led to the situation now. I want him to trust this person again. He can't do it, but let him kill this. On his birthday every year, he will make longevity noodles for him, and try his best to do it. Make him happy, especially when he was young, who gave him endless warmth, he couldn't do it either.

"My lord—" Butler Fan burst into tears. Their lord is trying to save his life, what kind of good thing did he do in his previous life, and he met their lord...

Then, Shi Che didn't look back, and took the letter into the palace again.

Shi Yuan was approving the memorial in the imperial study. He didn't expect his younger brother to go and return. Before asking what was going on, his younger brother handed him a very long letter. When he read the contents of the letter, his face became cold. .

After a while of silence, Shi Yuan put down the message: "Do you still believe in him?"

This he naturally refers to Butler Fan.

After all, there is no hard evidence to support what this letter says.

Shi Che said: "I want to believe him for the last time."

In other words, what the letter says should be true.

Shi Yuan nodded, "I don't believe him anymore, but I believe you."

"Brother Huang..." Maybe it was Butler Fan's business, so Shi Che had to endure it all the time, so Shi Che's eyes were immediately red when Shi Yuan was like this, "In this life, I will never betray Brother Huang!"

Being in the emperor's family, he was used to fighting over and over, betrayal and betrayal.

Shi Yuan smiled and said, "If you betray me, I will admit it too."

Knowing that his brother was joking, he was actually saying that his brother would never trust him, so Shi Che laughed.

Seeing that his younger brother also smiled, his mood was much calmer, so Shi Yuan picked up the letter and read it again.

After a long while, he said again: "I will let people check one by one according to the list above. Fan Jianxi has no evidence, and it is not easy to convict. If you have to investigate, you will have evidence, so that you can convict, you can't let one go. A bad person, but a good person can't be wronged. Even if the things in his secret room are gone, it doesn't look like Qiu Pusheng did it. If he did it, Fan Jianxi should have been dealt with when he got those things. But he was only knocked unconscious, he didn't kill him, obviously it wasn't him. As for who... Fan Jianxi himself doesn't know, it's hard for us to investigate, but we can't help but send someone to investigate."

After a pause, he added: "No matter who took those things in the secret room, it doesn't matter even if Qiu Pusheng knows about it, Xing Ronghui can control him, we have already arranged it, and we are prepared. Besides, the soldiers and horses are all loyal to me. Yes, I won't listen to him. It doesn't matter if Qiu Pu was born in Lizhou with private soldiers. Those private soldiers were all captured in that way. As long as you know that I didn't charge a heavy tax at all, I also reduced the tax for two. Cheng, Qiu Pusheng instructed officials in the area of ​​Lizhou to do it, and they deceived the top and the bottom, and those private soldiers naturally surrendered without a fight. When they surrender, they will be released home."

"The officials in Lizhou area are guilty," Shi Yuan said again, "of course they will all be convicted, and a new batch will be exchanged. Not only Qiu Pusheng's house will be confiscated, but other people who have embezzled the people's fat will also be confiscated, and they can be returned to the people. It will be given back to the people, and those who can’t be paid, and those who can’t live on, will be given relief food and relief silver, and no more people will starve to death.”

Speaking of this, Shi Yuan sighed.

Immediately, he continued: "For the people who died of starvation, try to find out their names, and send more relief items to these people's homes. They can't be brought back to life, but it can comfort them somewhat.

"Brother Shengming!" Shi Che said immediately.

When Shi Yuan had sent people to do these things, and seeing that his younger brother had not left, Shi Yuan asked, "Is there anything else?"

Shi Che hesitated for a while, but he lifted his robe and knelt down: "Brother Huang, I want you to spare Butler Fan's life."

Shi Yuan knew that the late emperor was not good to this younger brother at all, so this younger brother never felt a little fatherly love from the late emperor, nor did he feel it either, but his younger brother was lucky enough to meet Butler Fan. In some respects, the housekeeper actually gave this younger brother something like a father's love, and the housekeeper Fan is not unforgivable, so Shi Yuan nodded: "Get up, wait for it to be checked, and make sure that he is really just a rescuer. My nephew is so eager, I really don't know about other things, so just figure it out for yourself."

"Thank you, brother!"

Only then did Shi Che agree to leave.

As for Fan Jianxi's wife and children, he doesn't need to ask for it at all. His royal brother never kills innocent people indiscriminately. If they are really innocent, those people will be fine.

*

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan only told their family that they wanted to go to the town this afternoon. If they lived in the town tonight, they wouldn't have to get up so early to go to Mr. Qi's house for New Year's greetings tomorrow morning. Whoever is visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings, the family will naturally agree when they hear it, but they must tell Xue Yan a few words, so that Xue Yan must take good care of Jiang Yue, saying that Jiang Yue is pregnant, you must pay attention to everything, especially the carriage, Qian I had to hurry up, I had to hurry up, Xue Yan naturally agreed.

In the afternoon, Xue Yan drove Jiang Yue out of Huaishu Village with a carriage, and then handed over the carriage to the dark guard not far from Huaishu Village.

The four gentlemen have already sent someone to say it, and they will help cover it up.

The dark guard led the carriage away. Jiang Yue looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she took her family Xue Yan into the space, then passed through the black gate, and came to Dachen again.

It was already noon on August 13th in Dachen, and everyone in Stone Village had already eaten lunch. When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came to Stone Village, everyone in Stone Village was very pleasantly surprised.

Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were more than a month apart, they only appeared once in the past two months, but this time it was only ten and a half days apart.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan asked people in Stone Village if anyone came to find them in Stone Village. Everyone in Stone Village said no, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

It seems that Fan Jianxi, the prefect, either hasn't checked them out, or has not sent anyone to check them.

It feels more likely that no one is sent to investigate.

Fan Jianxi is so cunning and clever, if this were to be investigated, even if he did not dare to blatantly investigate, he would soon find out about them and come to Stone Village. After all, they had lived in Fucheng for so many days, and they had posted and posted so many missing people notices without any cover, so the disturbance was quite big.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan asked again if anything had happened to Dachen in the past ten days. People in Shitou Village said that they had not seen anything, but it might have happened but they didn't know, because these days, they were basically in the area. Busy in the village or in the fields.

Then, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't ask any more questions.

After staying in Stone Village for a while, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to set up a carriage behind Zhang Dazhu's house.

After the carriage was pulled out from behind Zhang Dazhu's house, Xue Yan helped his Yuebao onto the carriage. Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou said they were all right and had to send them to the entrance of the village.

It was not until it was a little far from Shitou Village that Jiang Yue showed her head from the carriage and said to her family Xue Yan: "The main purpose of our visit to Dachen this time is to give all the things in the secret room to Shi Yuan, so we will go first. Let's go to the imperial capital. I will stop looking for people on the way, and when we get to the imperial capital, we will do this well, and then hire someone to post and send notices."

The things in Fan Jianxi's secret room are all in her space. It is impossible for him to take him on a fast horse alone. He still has to use a carriage.

What's more, if you put those things in the carriage, there are certain checkpoints along the way that need to be checked, and how can those things be seen by others before they are handed over to Shi Yuan? What if the person who checked was the person on the list?

So, just in case, she naturally wanted to go to the imperial capital with her family, Xue Yan.

"Well." Xue Yan naturally had no objection.

Jiang Yue said again: "It doesn't require anything to prove identity in the Lizhou area, but if you leave the Lizhou area and enter other places, you will have to check the checkpoints, especially when you enter the imperial capital, there must be someone at the gate of the city. Identity certificate, in order to avoid anything, and we don’t want to implicate the people of Stone Village, naturally we can’t talk about Stone Village, and we can’t use their identity certificate, so we have to find a black market and get a fake identity.”

Xue Yan said: "No matter where you are, there is no shortage of such a black market. We lived in Lizhou Fucheng before, and there is a black market in the Fucheng. As long as you give enough silver taels, we can give you an identity certificate stamped with the official seal. Although the identity is fake, but the official seal on the document is true. This is not because someone in the yamen secretly built it, or the yamen official is in tune with those people in the black market, and he can do anything for money. ."

Jiang Yue nodded, "Then go to the black market in Fucheng to buy two fake certificates."

"Um."

It was not until the second quarter of Hai Shi that Xue Yan arrived at Fucheng with the carriage. It was already this hour, and it was already dark in the morning. Naturally, he would find a nearby inn to stay first, and then go to the black market in the morning.

The next day, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to the black market while observing all the way. They didn't find anything unusual in the city, and they didn't hear that the mansion was knocked unconscious the night before, and there was a secret room, and nothing in the secret room was missing. .

Obviously, it was Fan Jianxi who blocked the news himself and didn't let anyone outside the government know anything.

And they didn't hear that Fan Jianxi ran away. If the prefect ran away, there must be some discussion in the city, but they didn't hear a word. Obviously, Fan Jianxi was still the prefect of Lizhou, and he was still in the government office of Lizhou. inside.

Fan Jianxi is such an insecure person. All the things in the secret room have been taken away. Even if there are no rare treasures, he can still run away, but he does not. He is still in the government office and is still blocked The news, as usual, as if nothing happened...

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan thought with their toes, and knew that Fan Jianxi should have reported everything to Shi Yuan, but it was only ten days later, and Fan Jianxi was so cunning, not sure who took the things from the secret room , he should observe for a few days before making a decision. Then, if Shi Yuan just knew about the things he reported, Shi Yuan still didn't know about the book or the letter.

It should not be submitted directly. The current Prime Minister has the handle in Qiu Pusheng's hands, not to mention the Prime Minister himself is involved in the matter of heavy taxation in the Lizhou area. Generally, the Prime Minister will help organize the memorial. If the Prime Minister sees it, he should help. Qiu Pusheng pressed down and went to Shi Yuan's hands, and it was unlikely that he would be seen by Shi Yuan.

Should be a letter.

The letter was still addressed to the housekeeper Fan in Prince Che's Mansion. Isn't Butler Fan Fan Jianxi's uncle? The things taken out from the secret room can also be seen that this uncle is very fond of Fan Jianxi. Fan Jianxi should write a letter directly to this Butler Fan, and let this Butler Fan report to Prince Che , and then Prince Che told Shi Yuan that this is the safest way.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.

Before they knew it, they had also arrived at the gate of the black market.

People in the black market are all human beings. When they see them, they don't ask anything. They first observe behind them and ask them what they are doing when they see no one else.

In this black market, if you have money, you are an uncle, and it is easy to do things. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't stay in the black market for a long time, and they got two identity documents with the official seal.

Since this document is fake, the names and addresses on it are also fake, none of them are real, just because the official seal is stamped, it looks like the real one.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan continued to go to the imperial capital after they came out of the black market.

When they left the Lizhou area, there was a checkpoint. The people who guarded the checkpoint simply looked at their identity documents, but looked at their clothes carefully. They probably thought that they should not be poor people who went to the imperial capital to file a complaint. Just let it go.

Taking into account Jiang Yue's pregnancy, Xue Yan not only drove the carriage slowly, but also stopped the carriage every night so that Jiang Yue could have a good rest.

If you can meet an inn, you will naturally rest in the inn at night; if you can't, you can only rest in the wild. Fortunately, there are a lot of things prepared in the space, and you can take it out, then you can rest there. It doesn't matter in the wild.

For the next five days, I didn't encounter anything special. On the sixth day, I encountered a group of people galloping past, as if they were heading towards Lizhou.

Those people and horses are all led by a general, followed by soldiers in armor, each non-stop.

Seeing that those soldiers were always on their way, they were also very disciplined, and they were obviously a team of iron cavalry. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't have to think about it, they all knew that Shi Yuan knew about the people in Lizhou and sent people to rectify them.

There are so many officials involved, ordinary officers and soldiers can't rectify it, and only lieutenant generals with a tough style can do it.

However, because Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't know enough about the soldiers who rushed to Lizhou, so as not to mix Qiu Pusheng or other people involved, they didn't think about taking out the contents of the secret room to these people.

The things in the secret room are the safest when handed over to Shi Yuan.

Through the letters in the secret room, they know that Shi Che and Shi Yuan are true brothers and deeply in love. It's okay, Shi Che will definitely help hand it over to Shi Yuan.
