Kong Qing's eyes darkened, and he looked at Mr. Kong Er silently, neither saying yes nor no, but his frown clearly showed his dissatisfaction with the second young lady.

Mr. Kong Er stared at Kong Qing for a long time, then looked away, poured a cup of tea by himself, pointed to the sandalwood box on the table and said in a calm tone: "This morning, shopkeeper Mi sent this box.

It was said to be a gift given by the Second Young Madam. What did you receive?"

Kong Qing's expression changed slightly, and a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes. "The letter surnamed Mi delivered at noon said that the Second Young Madam was dissatisfied with the rumors in the army and asked me to put an end to it as soon as possible." Kong Qing paused, his face

A hint of sneer appeared, "She is just a little girl meddling in foreign affairs, but she dares to extend her hands into the military camp! Even the second master is not like her..."

"You haven't seen that girl, have you?" Master Kong Er waved his hands a little tiredly to interrupt Kong Qing's words, but there was some fluctuation in his eyes, his face softened, and there was a bit of emotion in his tone: "Second Master in front of me

When I came to Ding'an City with the second young lady, I met her. She is a clever child, and her eyes make people happy. The second master smiled at her and even spoke in a soft voice.

, that girl is also very polite when meeting people, and she is knowledgeable and knows how to cherish blessings."

"What does Second Uncle mean by this?" Kong Qing's heart sank, and he frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Mr. Kong Er smiled at Kong Qing, took a slow sip of hot tea, and moved his eyes to the blooming red plums outside the window. His voice was distant and calm: "That girl is a person who cherishes blessings and obeys her rules. She knows how to hide her clumsiness. She doesn't want to meddle in foreign affairs.

, you know it well. It's just someone taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Furthermore, even if the girl occasionally goes too far, it is because the second master has allowed it. As long as the second master has allowed it, then the prince has also allowed it.

. People in the Lu family have always been informal and don’t have so many scruples about their women. Wasn’t it the same when your aunt was in the Lu family?"

Mr. Kong Er glanced at Kong Qing slowly. Although there was a kind smile on his face, his eyes became sharp again: "Stop your thoughts. As long as the Kong family abides by their duties, Mr. Kong will do his best."

Countless."

Kong Qing took a breath. His brows were still furrowed. He hesitated for a moment, and then sighed weakly. "Sister Wen has a cheerful temperament, very much like my aunt. If she can follow the second master, what will happen to our Kong family..."

"Shut up!" Mr. Kong Er suddenly got angry. He raised the tea cup in his hand and threw it at Kong Qing. The cup flew past the tip of Kong Qing's nose and splashed tea and tea leaves all over Kong Qing's face.

Kong Qing's eyes shrank slightly, and he was shocked for a moment. He just stared at Mr. Kong Er blankly, and after a long while he raised his hand to wipe the tea on his face. There were scattered tea leaves on his sleeves, and the edges were soaked.

Even though Mr. Kong Er is over fifty years old. He is skinny and has no body mass, and is short in stature, but his roar is full of energy, and his voice is filled with a suffocating oppression and evil spirit - Mr. Kong Er

At that time, he was a famous counselor in Pingliang Mansion, and a killer who frightened the veteran generals of Beiyan. He spent more than twenty years in the military camp with the old King of Xining and the current King of Xining, and retired more than ten years ago.

Come down. Kong Qing was also taught by Mr. Kong Er step by step. Now that the old man roars like this, all the evil energy accumulated in his youth is revealed. How can Kong Qing not be shocked?

"Are you going to let the Kong family die without a burial place? You have to use up all the love accumulated by our ancestors before you are willing to do it?" Mr. Kong Er nodded to Kong Qing with a cold face and scolded him in an unceremonious tone. "Wen.

My sister is good, but she is not good enough to make the second master and the prince look at her with suspicion! Do you really think that girl from the Lin family is easy to mess with? There has just been a problem with the military rations in Pingliang Mansion, and shopkeeper Na Mi clearly told you to go early

These endings are involved, can't you see? Or are you not thinking about it at all? The little things the Lu family has accumulated over the years in the north will never be taken out unless absolutely necessary! Pingliang Mansion and Longchuan Mansion

There are nearly 200,000 troops. You don’t know how much military funding the imperial court has allocated this year? Then the other things just come out of thin air like this?"

Mr. Kong Er pointed at Kong Qing with trembling fingers. After a long while, he slowly let out a sigh of relief. He sat back in the rocking chair and rubbed his forehead tiredly: "That girl from the Lin family was the prince who went to the palace to ask for a marriage in person. This matter

I didn’t say it before, I’m afraid you didn’t pay attention either. I’ll give you a word of truth today. Even if something unexpected happens in Pingliang Mansion, that girl from the Lin family will still be able to secure her position as the second young lady!”

Kong Qing's face changed several times, and his heart sank again and again. He heard Mr. Kong Er wave his hands and sigh: "You should let Sister Wen rest as soon as possible for all her thoughts! Her mother left early, you

This father didn’t teach her well either. She’s grown up and it’s time for her to leave the government. I will personally take care of her marriage later.”

Kong Qing's face was sullen, and his brows were almost furrowed. He took a deep breath for a long time, stood up and saluted Mr. Kong Er, saying: "There is an urgent matter in the military camp, and I don't dare to stay any longer. As for the second uncle, I will take good care of him."

Think about it." He turned around and walked out.

Mr. Kong Er looked at Kong Qing's straight back, shook his head and sighed, with a bit of helplessness and self-mockery in his eyes. It doesn't matter, he is old, his nephews have their own ideas, and they have stayed in the military camp for a long time.

I'm afraid that if he doesn't care about the subtleties of these words, he will have to hit the wall by himself before he knows the pain.

Mr. Kong Er stood up with his back hunched, his eyes fell on the sandalwood box on the table, and after a while he raised his voice and called the steward outside.

"Go to Yong'an City and tell Shopkeeper Mi of Wangyue Tower that I have accepted this gift and ask him to thank the Second Young Madam for me. The descendants of the Kong family have acted in a biased manner, and the old man has also made mistakes. Please

Second Young Madam, don’t take it personally, scold those who deserve to be scolded, and punish those who deserve to be punished.”

After hearing this, the manager hurriedly agreed and went out.

Outside the study, Kong Qing looked tense. He put on his military uniform and walked out of the Kongfu compound. He rushed to Yong'an City overnight with a few personal guards and went directly to Liao Cheng's Mansion, the magistrate of Yong'an City.

The boy guarding the door yawned and opened the door. Before he could open his eyes, he felt a cold wind blowing in front of him, and his body shivered with cold. He only saw a figure flashing past his eyes, and he entered the yard in the blink of an eye.

The young boy was so frightened that he woke up from his sleep for most of the time. His eyes widened and he stared in fear. Several soldiers at the door stared at him for several times before stroking his chest and heaving a sigh of relief.

"Come in and have a rest, some military lords."

After saying that, he quickly pulled another concierge over who was rubbing his eyes. He gathered up his clothes and hurriedly caught up with Kong Qing. He bowed respectfully to Kong Qing and led Kong Qing to the lonely place.

Living room. "General, please wait a moment. My lord will be here soon."

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and ran to the backyard, woke up the woman who was keeping watch, and hurriedly called Liao Cheng.

Liao Cheng got up from the bed sleepily, frowned and kicked the concierge, then yawned and went to the living room.

"General, who are you?" When they arrived in the living room, Liao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Kong Qing, who had a frosty look on his face. The drowsiness in his mind had long since disappeared, and his face was full of shock. He kicked Kong Qing, who was still a little dizzy.

The waiter raised his head and scolded sternly: "Hurry up and serve tea! Let the lady in the kitchen get up and cook a few bowls of noodles! Go quickly!"

The boy said something, shook his head, and hurriedly agreed and ran out.

While scolding the boy, Liao Cheng glanced at Kong Qing's unhappy face and asked with a smile: "Why is General Kong here in the middle of the night?"

Before Kong Qing could answer, a light suddenly flashed in Liao Cheng's mind. He made two turns in his mind and asked tentatively, "Is it about military rations?"

Kong Qing hummed, stared sharply at Liao Cheng and said coldly: "The letter you sent was too vague. This is a big deal. There is no room for negligence. I came here today to ask in person whether Yong'an City still has food in stock.

?”

Liao Cheng choked a mouthful of saliva into his throat and coughed several times. His face was slightly unnatural, and he coughed in a vague tone: "Not really... Hey, if it's really urgent, I can still make it happen. It's just this matter

Come on...it's really hard to say."

"Say!" Kong Qing suddenly slapped the table with his hand, and there was a snap. The table opened a gap in an instant.

Liao Cheng's eyes shrank slightly, and his heart trembled. He stroked his chest and smiled bitterly: "Isn't General Kong making things difficult for me? Hey, let me tell you the truth. Yong'an City has food, and there is quite a lot of it."

," Liao Cheng said, swallowed, and tried hard to think of words, "It's really a lot, it can be worth the military resources of the imperial court for several years. It's just that this food is not from the officials, but is stocked by several merchants.

I just went to ask a few days ago, and the big shopkeepers were relieved. But yesterday I went there again, and they refused to let go. They told me they had the food, but they killed it and now they won’t sell it!

Their boss was angry and ordered not to sell. Alas,"

Liao Cheng helplessly scratched his already somewhat disheveled hair, "Even if I sell it, I won't be able to get that much money in a short while, so I'll have to pay it on credit in the end. Alas..."

"It's true that there is no businessman or traitor!" Kong Qing's face was livid with anger, and he slapped the table again, "We can't allow them to exploit the situation now, and we have to sell it even if we don't sell it!" Kong Qing grinded his teeth and said flatly.

The government has nearly 50,000 troops, and the food in the camp can only last ten days at most. If there is no food, the army will definitely be panicked! She is shaking the morale of the army!

Ignorant woman, this is nonsense! How could she act so arbitrarily? She was just relying on her wealth... Kong Qing's thoughts suddenly stagnated, his chest felt stuffy, and his throat seemed to be blocked.

Veins popped up on his forehead. It took him a long time to grit his teeth and hit the table with one punch. The table broke with a crash and then broke into two pieces. Two of his legs were shattered.

She was warning him! She, a young girl, could actually do this... Sister Wen was indeed inferior to her in terms of skills and courage. She took the initiative and slapped him in the face.

, it is indeed good, very good!

Kong Qing was angry and resentful. He turned over Master Kong Er's words over and over in his mind several times before letting out a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid it's hard to buy this food." Liao Cheng glanced at Kong Qing's face with fear, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and added a few words hesitantly: "This morning, there were some rumors suddenly in Yong'an City.

, saying that the imperial court did not send military supplies to the north at all. Some people dug out all the documents that the previous imperial court had confiscated, and in short they were a little dissatisfied with the imperial court. The official has been out for a day today, and the people in Yong'an City, especially

Those students were even more excited, saying that the Holy Emperor was too ruthless. Oh, some people praised the Second Master and the Second Young Madam, saying that in the battle we fought with Beiyan, there was a shortage of military supplies in the middle, and the court was slow to respond.

During the distribution of grain and grass, many businessmen still donated grain. It turned out that more than half of it was collected by the shopkeepers under the Second Young Madam. If not, the Beiyan people would have taken the opportunity to attack. By the way, the fourth son of the Han family today

It’s over with the second child of the Shi family...” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
