Wu Taishou knew Wang Chang, and when he saw General Wang, he thought that the savior was coming. He never thought that Wang Chang would throw a bomb at him, and said, "My subordinate is late, please forgive me, Your Majesty King Wangye!".
After Wu Taishou heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground, knowing that he was finished.
Hearing that the person on the carriage was His Highness the Night King, everyone at the scene knelt down in fear.
When Ji Xun saw this, he got out of the car, glanced at Wu Taishou with cold eyes, and then said to the farmers, "I will investigate your losses over the years and compensate you ten times the price. Get up."
."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Night King. Your Highness the Night King is wise." The men thanked each other with gratitude on their faces, and then stood up.
"You." Ji Xun glanced at those who stole vegetables in the field, "Each of you will be fined three hundred taels of silver."
The residents who stole vegetables were shocked when they heard that. Although they stole vegetables every year, the cabbage and radishes were not worth much. They were punished so much and were so distressed that they could not speak. They dared not say anything in anger.
After a pause, Ji Xun added calmly, "However, there are ways to reduce the penalty. As long as you expose the relatives and friends who went out to the city to steal food together and make up for their mistakes, the fine will be reduced by half for each person exposed.'
If you want to pay less fines, you can only expose as many people as possible who have stolen food. In this way, all those who have taken advantage of this kind of petty gain and done such unintentional things can be caught one by one.
purpose of punishment.
The residents who stole food also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were originally people who were greedy for petty gains. As long as they paid less, they could do whatever they wanted.
"Ji Xun, please bring someone here to handle this matter." Ji Xun ordered Lin Yi.
"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Yi nodded.
After handling this, Ji Xun got on the carriage and escorted Wu Taiyan to the city.
After entering the city, many people gathered around them. When they heard that His Highness the Night King was coming, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
Prefect Wu is not a good official. If he were a good official, why would he allow them to go out of the city to steal other people's vegetables? So although everyone was worried because they had stolen vegetables, most of them were happy. Who doesn't want a good official to govern Tai'an City?
Is it safe and secure?
On the same day, Wu Taiyan, the governor of Tai'an City, was dismissed from his post and investigated.
This investigation revealed that he had taken bribes, sold his official position, and plundered people's wealth and wealth. He was a corrupt official.
Later, his home was confiscated, he was imprisoned, and all his property was confiscated~~ Of course, this is a story for another day.
Since Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun were unable to stay in the inn because their identities were exposed, the group followed Wang Chang to the military camp twenty miles outside the city.
A few days after the army set up camp here, the soldiers lived in felt bags brought from Lingzhou City, which was much better than fighting in the wild and sleeping in the open air.
Besides, the soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion were all trained by Ji Xun himself. They were not afraid of risking their lives on the battlefield. What kind of suffering could they not bear?
During dinner in the evening, Wang Chang also sighed deeply, "It seems that what you hear is false and what you see is true. That day Wu Taiyan and I went out on the street and saw the people shouting that he is an upright and good official. I was very proud at that time.
I'm so moved, I never thought that his 'honest and good official' would be achieved in this way."
After talking about Wu Taiyan for a while, the topic turned to the location of the palace.
Wang Chang recommended Chengdong.
The east part of the city is remote but spacious. There are vegetable fields, lotus ponds and the like. In particular, there is a beautiful mountain peak, which can add to the elegance of the palace.
However, you still need to conduct an on-site inspection before making a decision.
That night, Ji Xun spent the night in the military camp. The next day, Ji Xun was busy with government and military affairs, so the choice of the location of the palace was left entirely to Shen Yuyu.
Shen Yuyu left the military camp with A Qin, Aunt Bai, and Ying Ying, and took a carriage into the city.
Tai'an City is not small, actually bigger than Lingzhou City, but it is not a trade gateway and there are not as many foreign merchants as Lingzhou City.
The street is wide enough to accommodate three carriages running parallel to each other. The street is bustling with people and quite prosperous, but you rarely see foreign faces.
Red Flame Camp is located outside the east gate of Kang'an City. Enter the east city gate and walk a short distance, then turn left and walk through several bustling streets for about half an hour. The houses gradually become sparse, with low courtyards and barren vegetable fields, all built randomly. shacks, with a mountain and a lotus pond in the distance.
This place is indeed spacious, and it shouldn't require much relocation if the Night King's Mansion is built here.
"That's it, it's nice here." Shen Yuyu decided on the spot, "It doesn't need to be more luxurious, it's just about the same." Having said that, in fact, it is still a big project, and it will definitely not be completed in a year and a half. of.
The trouble is that before the house is built, I need a place to stay. It seems that I have to buy a house first.
After seeing the place and being satisfied, the group returned the same way.
"Go to Yahang to see if there is a suitable yard and buy a room to live in temporarily." Shen Yuyu called everyone to go to the street.
The merchants and hawkers on the street were shouting energetically and it was quite lively.
After looking at two courtyards with three entrances and three exits in the Yaxing store, Shen Yue was not very satisfied. They were either too old or too remote.
"Do you dare to buy a haunted house? The house is new. It has three entrances and three exits. It is located in the most prosperous Xiguan Street." Shen Yuxi was about to leave when the dental shop clerk came over with a smile.
After hearing this, Shen Yuyu hesitated.
She wasn't afraid of ghosts, but she still felt a little uncomfortable living in a haunted house.
But I still asked, "What happened inside? How did it become a haunted house?"
The dental shop clerk pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the bride suddenly went crazy on the wedding night and gave the groom to him." For such a thing that everyone knew, the clerk knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said it directly. "It's only five hundred taels, and this is in Xiguan Street, where land is at a premium! It cost four times the price to repair it!"
Shen Yuyu was a little moved, but when he saw Aunt Bai's face turned green with fright, he waved his hands and said, "That's it, let's take a look and talk about it.'
"The price can be negotiated, girl, don't leave in a hurry!" the Yaxing clerk said reluctantly, "Four hundred taels~~three hundred and five are also fine~~at least one of the houses in the same area can be added, girl, think carefully."
"How can we consider this? Something like this has happened, and I can't sleep peacefully at night." Aunt Bai's face was full of panic. After speaking, she dragged Shen Yuyu's hand with concern, "My daughter, I know that you and Axun just came to Lingzhou. The expenses are high and money is tight, but I have saved enough money to buy a house, so we can’t buy such an unlucky thing just for cheap!
Shen Yue hugged Aunt Bai's arm affectionately, leaned on her shoulder and said with a smile, "This kind of thing is actually not terrible~~ But if Auntie is afraid, I won't buy it. As for the money, Auntie doesn't have to worry about it. We in Lingzhou Don’t you still have business? There’s no shortage of money.” In addition, she also intercepted dozens of Wei Xuanyuan’s treasures, which was enough to build a house and recruit soldiers and horses.
