At the entrance of the courtyard, a beautiful woman in a dark blue dress walked down from the carriage, with willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a plump figure.

"It's been half an hour, let's go in too," Liu Danyang held up the car curtain alone, waved to the two lovely girls inside, and said, "If you don't go in, I'm afraid the young master will do something shameful.

Now.”

Wei Ying and Xiaoyu got off the carriage, but suddenly saw a group of ordinary-dressed people walking towards this side on the street not far away.

"They are all women, aren't they?" Wei Ying opened her mouth. Those people seemed to be coming to the yard. The person walking in the front was wearing a bloody dress with words on it.

Liu Danyang frowned and quickly said to Xiaoyu and Wei Ying beside him: "You go find the prince, and something is going to happen."

On the roof of nearby buildings, two secretly guarded dishes looked at each other.

"Do you want to take action?"

"How can I take action? They are all women, girls and children? I know the leader, and the wife of the tenant farmer leader of the Jiang family."

"I think it's probably Jiang Zhen's idea. I remember the welcome banquet prepared by the Jiang family for the prince tonight. Why did this happen again?"

"Wait, how did you meet?"

"Last time I pretended to be a vegetable seller, and this girl bargained very much, so I followed her all the way."

...

In the yard, Lu Xing played the piano with Li Rui, his body was close to him, and his skin was mostly hot.

"Young master, it's not good," Xiaoyu hurried over and interrupted the piano.

Lu Xingli Xian looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Young Master Yaxing, you have a beautiful woman." Wei Ying snorted coldly. When she really saw Li Rui, she would not give the other party a good face.

"The people are blocking the door. The book says that the rich people smelled of wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road. The young master was careful to be criticized." Wei Ying said a little heavier, but his worried eyes betrayed her, and anyone with a discerning eye could see her

Concern in the heart.

"How do the people know my residence?" Lu Xing murmured secretly. When he came, he asked Liu Danyang to investigate. Most of the people here were tenant farmers, and only a few self-cultivated farmers far away from the city still owned 60 acres of fertile land each.

.

However, the tenant farmer affairs are not under the control of the land route, and the annual taxes in Xuejin City are not heavy, but the layers of exploitation by officials make it difficult for the people to pay high additional taxes, so they all devoted themselves to local tyrants.

In other words, the entire policy of the Northland is problematic. Xuejin City governs the Northland with the throne, and many areas that are slightly further away will not be managed, and most of them are local tyrants and autonomous regions.

However, the troops stationed in every city in the north are responsible for Xuejin City, which leads to a serious problem: Xuejin City lacks credibility in the north.

After all, Xuejin City has been in the world for twenty years, and has suffered from internal and external troubles, and has not taken root in the north. Therefore, it is conceivable how much Feng Liangping will suffer after saying the words "The dragon rises in the north".

People's objection.

Lu Xing arrived at the gate of the courtyard. At this moment, the door had been filled with women. They were surrounded by frames. If it were not for Liu Danyangt's sword, they would have been rushing in.

"Criminal, I'm going to fight again this year!"

"Ah, my son went to the battlefield before the autumn season. Now he is a corpse sent home. What's the use of asking for those silver?" An old woman sprinkled the hundred taels of silver in her arms on the ground, knocking her right fist as she hit her right fist

Bluestone slabs, sitting on the ground and crying loudly.

"My youngest son has just grown up, why are he going to recruit soldiers again? If he leaves again, there will be no men in our family-"

Lu Xing frowned slightly and explained: "According to the military orders of Xuejin City, there is no way to deal with the situation where there is only one man in the family." In order for the old woman to understand, this passage was said in Qingzhou local dialect.

"What? In the end, I can't recruit soldiers, so why don't I force myself to conquer my husband?" The old woman cried even more when she saw Lu Xing paying attention to her.

Lu Xing stood up and looked at the women who had kneeled around him, about twenty people.

"What's going on? I remember that in the statistics of the bookstore, the population of Qingzhou Nan County is not small, and Ding Zhuang's man can have more than 100,000."

Liu Danyang touched Lu Xing's ear and whispered: "According to the data reported in various places, there are 100,000 people in Dingliao, Quzi and Huatai, and there are only 10,000 strong men in Pinghe and Fanhe, especially Pinghe County.

Less than 5,000 people reported."

"How is that possible!" Lu Xing was shocked and said, "The population of Pinghe is more than 200,000. Do you tell me that there are only 5,000 men over the age of 18 to under forty?"

Liu Danyang nodded and said, "The prince is right. How many illegal households have been occupied by local tyrants? The prince can imagine? The county magistrate reports natural disasters and man-made disasters every year."

"Outstanding," Lu Xing's eyebrows were a little cold. He grabbed Liu Danyang's sword and inserted it into the stone in front of the woman with a clang, causing the earth and stone to explode directly.

Many women's faces changed and their bodies moved backwards.

"You are all tenants from the landlord's family? You can throw away a hundred taels of silver at any time. Are you doing a good life?" Lu Xing smiled playfully, bent down to pick up the broken silver on the ground, and stuffed it into the old woman's hand, "You're better off staying forever."

Then, life still has to be lived.”

A carriage rushed towards him in the distance, followed by dozens of soldiers, which shocked the women to make way quickly, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the yard.

"Oh," a man in a black robe lifted the curtain, stepped out of the car on the servant's back, and walked quickly towards Lu Xing.

"Jiang Zhen, the governor of Pinghe County, came to pay homage to the prince." Jiang Zhen bowed and bent down in front of Lu Xing, with his posture very low.

Haha, these women can come to my residence without any obstacles, and you, Jiangzhen, are late again... Lu Xing wants to know what the magistrate of Pinghe County in front of you is fighting.

"Mr. Jiang doesn't need to be polite. Look, can these twenty women say represent Pinghe City?"

Jiang Zhen looked back at the women, and showed anger on his face. He kicked the old woman beside him and said viciously: "Who asked you to make trouble? Do you know what the prince is?"

"Sir - I'm wronged. If the man in my family is taken away by the army, I will really not be able to survive." A woman wailed, holding a three-year-old child in her arms.

Jiang Zhen was so angry that he stamped his feet, pointed at these trembling hands, and said angrily: "You still dare to say that? The recruitment of soldiers is the king of Xuejin City, and even the county magistrates must obey. Why do you come and make a mistake with the prince?

If the prince wasn't good, you could keep your head today!"

"No! This prince has always had a bad temper."

A call interrupted Jiang Zhen's words, and Lu Xing looked at more than twenty kneeling women with a cold look.

"Gathering people to stop sedan chairs is a great disrespect; criticizing the king's orders is a great disloyal. Passing me on the orders, arresting them all, and leaving them in the dungeon!"

As soon as these words came, a strange look flashed in Jiang Zhen's eyes. He heard that the prince was a lustful person. After today, he would have to add a tyrannical name. He would take someone if he had a disagreement.

Liu Danyang stood silently, his palms tightened. Although he didn't know the prince's intention, if the prince was acting, he would not reveal any flaws to the prince.

"What, if I say this prince, is there no weight in Lord Jiang's Pinghe County?" Lu Xing's hand fell to Jiang Zhen's waist and suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist.

The long sword was thrown out and inserted into the ground in front of the woman. The two swords were three feet apart, and the blades trembled with each other, and the cold light was bursting.

Jiang Zhen felt that there was a cold feeling of killing on the blade. He suddenly came to his senses and shouted at the soldiers who were also stunned and dazed: "Didn't you hear the prince's words? Take it, take it! Tear it into the dungeon

!”

"No," the soldiers hurriedly bowed their hands, drew their swords and stepped forward.

"Ah, sir, sir!" Panic flashed in the eyes of the women. They had never seen this posture before. They could not stand up with their legs weak, and could only wail.

"Sir, please spare me, please spare me. What we didn't want to come is all the instructions given by the master of the family..."

Among these women, the only woman in blood looked at Jiang Zhen calmly. After looking at Jiang Zhen with a cold look, she closed her mouth and said nothing.

"Take it down, the dog is just a waste. If you are anxious, you bite people. Humph!" Jiang Zhen shook his sleeves and signaled the soldiers to take the woman down.

After all the soldiers left, Jiang Zhen smiled and bowed to Lu Xing, "Are you satisfied?"

"Today, the senior official specially held a banquet for the prince. I wonder if the prince is willing to give him a favor?"

Jiang Zhen said, taking a small step forward, and lowered his voice: "Miss Dong's family is a beautiful lady famous in Pinghe County. She has admired the prince for a long time."

"Oh~" Lu Xing's eyes lit up, as if he was interested. He patted Jiang Zhen's shoulder with his right hand and said kindly: "When? Where?"

"Mr. Jiang is worthy of being a high-ranking official, but he is more clear about my feelings than others."

When Jiang Zhen saw Lu Xing agree, he felt relieved. It seemed that the prince was really as rumored in terms of lust. Jiang Zhen quickly smiled and said, "That's it, that's it, my Jiang family's loyalty to the prince."

, Heaven and Earth can be seen.”

"You can leave now, and the officials are here to welcome the prince. Several adults from each family and the lady of the Dong family have been waiting for a long time."

"Okay," Lu Xing nodded, looked at Liu Danyang beside him, and he said to Jiang Zhen again: "Sir Jiang wait a moment, I will go back to the yard and explain to my servants."

After falling alive, Lu Xing took Liu Danyang back to the yard.

In the inner courtyard, Lu Xing briefly retelled the matter, and he also said about the Miss Dong family.

Staring at the eyes of the four women, Lu Xing calmly asked, "What do you say, just stay in the yard. As my identity, the local tyrants dare not do anything."

"Hmph, I'm afraid my son is happy--" Wei Ying frowned, turned his head to one side, and didn't go to see Lu Xing.

Xiaoyu took Wei Ying's hand and comforted him: "Sister Ying, don't be sad. The young master must know how to behave. After all, the young master should have a scale in his heart, which is more important, a lady from the Dong family or the four sisters."

This was not to comfort Wei Ying, it was clearly said to me... Lu Xing twitched his lips and did not refute.

Four women have a play, but he has no choice.

"Or why..." Liu Danyang suddenly took the hands of the other three and whispered to them. While talking, Yu Guang of several people secretly turned to Lu Xing, as if to prevent him from eavesdropping.

The four women discussed for a long time, but in the end, Wei Ying stood up, her hand fell on her chest and she laughed.
