[Hey, why is it so quiet? ]

【Did something happen? 】

Everyone in the yard looked around in horror, and when they saw Mu Nanjin wearing a red flying fish robe, their faces suddenly changed.

"It's the Duke."

"The Duke is here."

"Greetings, Lord."

The young men in the yard saluted Mu Nanjin.

Although they are royal nobles, they did not inherit the title. Even if they hold official positions, their ranks are not as high as Mu Nanjin's. They cannot use their elders to pressure others, so they can only bow obediently.

Besides, the emperor had given her great power, and they would not be foolish enough to offend her.

【It turns out that he discovered that I was here. 】

Mu Nanjin said: "Just pretend I don't exist and continue playing."

No one dared to gamble in front of her.

"No more playing, no more playing."

"We just play occasionally, not often."

"My Lord, please sit down."

Someone quickly moved a chair out of the house and placed it behind Mu Nanjin, while others brought tea and fruits and pastries.

"I didn't know that the Duke was coming to visit. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me, Duke."

Mu Nanjin said: "No wonder."

[I had a lot of fun myself. If I blame you, isn't that the same as blaming myself?]

[The most important thing is that I also earned three thousand silver coins, hehe. ]

Everyone was ashamed.

Someone asked cautiously, "Why did the Duke come to the Imperial Clan Palace?"

Mu Nanjin sat down, took the teacup, drank a sip of tea and said, "If I say I'm just here for a visit, you won't believe me."

Everyone: “…”

I really don't believe it.

[Alas, I really just came here to take a look around and see how the Imperial Palace is different from other government offices.]

[After all, this is a place that the royal family members are terrified of, so of course they came here to see how majestic it is. ]

[I was really disappointed. This place is not much different from a casino hidden in an alley. ]

Everyone:"……"

Mu Nanjin said: "Since everyone thinks that I came here for a purpose, I would be letting everyone down if I don't cause some trouble."

Everyone hurriedly said, "We believe in the Duke."

Mu Nanjin: "It's too late."

Everyone: “…”

"Today I will teach you all to be good people." Mu Nanjin said, "Is Liang Yunbin here?"

No one responded.

Everyone looked quietly in a certain direction.

"Is he not here? It doesn't matter if he's not here. Tell him that the rent for his land is too expensive. The farmers who rent his land can't afford it. Starting next month, the rent for his land must be reduced by half. Also, you can't force others to rent his land if they don't want to."

Liang Yunbin, who was hiding in the crowd, finally couldn't help but come out and said, "Duke, you are no longer too nosy. You have to manage other people's rent collection. If you have nothing to do, you can lead troops to fight and conquer other medium-sized countries."

Mu Nanjin glanced at him calmly: "The emperor appointed me as the Duke of Zhenguo in the hope that I can stabilize the country, but if you want the country to be stable, the country must be peaceful and the people must be safe. The country is relatively peaceful now, but most of the people are not living well, especially those who are oppressed by the imperial power and official power. It's like living in dire straits. Do you think I should intervene?"

"What does it have to do with me whether they live well or not? Do I have to control their eating, drinking, defecation and urination? It's because they don't want to be reborn into a lowly family, who can I blame?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "That makes sense."

Mu Nanjin said: "I will tell the emperor your words when I go to the palace. If the emperor removes your royal status and confiscates all your land, you can only blame yourself for not caring about the people, and no one else."

Everyone: “…”

Liang Yunbin was furious: "Mu Nanjin, you are just a Duke of Zhenguo, you have no right to interfere in the affairs of our royal family."

Mu Nanjin patted the imperial sword from time to time and said, "When you are stripped of your royal status, you will know whether I have the power or not."

"you……"

Liang Yunbin was so angry that he wanted to curse, but was stopped by the royal relatives around him.

The other party lowered his voice and whispered, "Just keep quiet. If she really goes to the emperor to complain, the emperor, who cares about the people, might really confiscate your land and remove your royal name. Then it will be more trouble than it's worth."

Liang Yunbin was a little scared when he heard him say that. He suppressed his anger and turned his head away: "When I go back, I will sort out the land rent issue and will no longer force farmers to rent my land."

"I hope to get good news next month." Mu Nanjin asked again: "Is Liang Shengzhen here?"

Liang Shengzhen walked out quickly: "I'm here."

"Every time you buy goods from the people, you say you are buying on credit and don't pay them. When you leave here, I will settle all the accounts."

"Yes." Liang Shengzhen agreed very readily: "I'll go and pay the bill now."

He quickly ran out of the yard and was shocked to see the Jinyiwei standing outside the door. He quickly saluted Liu Qianhu and the others and left in a hurry.

Captain Liu sighed, "Mu Nanjin just said a few words and frightened me so much that I even forgot that my official rank is higher than mine."

It is really funny to see high-ranking officials bowing to those of lower ranks.

In the courtyard, Mu Nanjin called out again, "Liang Zucai."

Liang Zucai felt that he had done nothing wrong, and walked out with a swagger: "Duke, apart from my love of gambling, I have never done anything to harm the people."

"You sold your wife's dowry and deducted the monthly salary from your servants for gambling. Isn't this considered hurting the people?"

Liang Zucai's face darkened: "Duke, you are not going to interfere in my family affairs, are you?"

"I'm not in charge of your family affairs. I'm in charge of the people. Aren't your servants and your wife the people?"

Liang Zucai: “…”

"Small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can harm your health. Nine out of ten people will lose. It's hard to get you to stop gambling, so I decided to send you to the military camp for some training."

Liang Zucai said anxiously: "I am a third-rank official and the legitimate son of Prince Qi. You are not qualified to arrange my whereabouts."

Mu Nanjin ignored him and said, "Someone come here."

Captain Liu came in with his men: "Duke."

"Send Liang Zucai to the military camp outside the city. Do not let him out without my order."

"yes."

Captain Liu ordered two centurions to escort Liang Zucai.

Liang Zucai shouted anxiously: "Let me go, I am the son of Prince Qi, if you dare to do this to me, I will ask my father to report to the emperor and have your house confiscated."

The two centurions ignored his shouting and dragged the man out of the yard.

"Cousin, save me, come and save me."

Liang Zucai asked his cousin for help, but his cousin was hiding in a corner and dared not show up.

Mu Nanjin's gaze returned to this group of second-generation rich kids, and they shrank their necks.

After that, everyone was taught by Mu Nanjin to be good people.

Given the previous examples, no one dared to disobey her.

Finally, Mu Nanjin stood up and said, "Next, let's continue gambling."

[I will not let them go until I win all their money, hehe.]

Everyone: “…”
