When Si Jinxing said this, Jia Wensheng laughed and said:
“This yard has been uninhabited for a long time and is very messy.
"The county lady should walk forward a little. There is a pavilion over there, from which you can see half of Xuzhou City!"
Si Jinxing shook his head, his face sad:
"This courtyard is very similar to my Suihua Garden. I've been missing it for a while now!"
After hearing this, Qi Nancheng looked up.
I saw that the maroon paint on the courtyard gate had peeled off, revealing the dark yellow wood inside, and a large rusty lock hung on it.
It looks very dilapidated and desolate.
His handsome sword-like eyebrows frowned slightly. She lived in a courtyard like this in the general's mansion?
Qi Nancheng felt a pang in his heart. What happened to the emperor's uncle? Couldn't he even protect his future princess?
When he returns to Beijing, he will definitely ask his uncle about it!
When He Wenqin was in Beijing, he occasionally heard his daughter mention that General Si did not seem to like his second daughter.
I still remember that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet two months ago, General Si really didn't give the county lady any face and was dissatisfied with everything!
He was angry when he saw it at first. How could a father be like this?
Even though his own Zhaoyue didn't have much talent, he would never dare to let her suffer any injustice!
The county lady is so capable, but Si Junshan is so ungrateful that he lets her live in such a courtyard!
He is such a fool!
He strode forward and comforted her, "Good boy, since this is so heartbreaking, let's not..."
Before Jia Wensheng finished speaking, Si Jinxing shook her head and said:
"Sir, if I take one more look, I will be able to remember who is good and who is bad."
Jia Wensheng glanced at the yard. A concubine had committed suicide here. It was very eerie!
He always felt that it was unlucky, so he said reluctantly: "County Master, this yard..."
Qi Nancheng's face turned cold and he asked:
"Since you are refusing like this, could it be that there is something shameful hidden in this courtyard?"
Seeing this, Jia Wensheng waved to the housekeeper and asked him to open the lock on the courtyard gate.
He took two steps back, looked at Si Jinxing, and said:
"Please do as you please, my lady."
Qi Nancheng glanced at Si Jinxing beside him, and just saw a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes!
He didn't know if he saw it wrong, so he just stretched out his hand and said, "County Lady, please."
As he spoke, he pushed the wooden door open with both hands!
only......
When Qi Nancheng saw the scene in the yard, his face suddenly changed and he strode inside!
Mr. Huang, the lawyer standing by, suddenly felt something was wrong. Prince An always followed the lead of the Lady of Anping County!
This time, why did you just go in without caring about anything?
He looked towards the courtyard with suspicion, and his expression suddenly changed!
Jia Wensheng was just worrying about how to find the keepsakes in the study when he felt his sleeve being pulled by Mr. Huang.
He looked up and saw Master Huang, with a pale face, staring at the yard in front of him in a daze!
Jia Wensheng looked forward without knowing what was going on, and saw rows of...warehouse jars in the weed-covered yard!
He suddenly stumbled and bumped into Master Huang!
Those... those are clearly...
When...when were they delivered to your house?
How come he is completely unaware of this?
Jia Wensheng widened his eyes and looked at His Royal Highness Prince An and He Wenqin, opening the lids of the jars one by one!
He was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe, still holding on to the last bit of fantasy in his heart!
I just hope that these jars are empty and there is nothing inside!
But, the opposite happened!
He saw His Royal Highness Prince An take out a handful of white rice from the jar...
Jia Wensheng broke out in a cold sweat. If the rice was lost, it was lost!
Why did she appear in the mansion at this moment? Isn't this pushing him to death?
He took a few steps back in panic, wanting to escape!
But then a cold female voice came: "Sir, where are you going?"
Jia Wensheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Princess Anping, who had been clamoring to go into the courtyard to see, looking at him with a smile on her lips.
He just felt that the strange things happening in the courtyard must be related to this woman!
But on second thought, even if this county lord has some extraordinary people under her command.
But it would be impossible to transport these hundreds of porcelain jars from the western suburbs to the mansion quietly without alerting the servants on both Heyan and Jia's side!
Before he could think more, he saw His Royal Highness Prince An and He Wenqin walking out with gloomy faces!
He Wenqin spoke first, coldly scolding:
"Master Jia, what a master Jia! No wonder you repeatedly refused to let the county lady enter this courtyard!
It's obvious that the mansion has hidden so much food, but is unwilling to take out half of it to help the victims!
You, the father and mother official, might as well not do it!"
Qi Nancheng glanced at the girl standing beside him and felt that she knew it in advance.
But no matter what, they were able to find these foods, which finally solved the urgent problem of tens of thousands of disaster victims in Xuzhou Prefecture who were short of food for the winter!
He looked at Jia Wensheng, whose face was as pale as dirt, and sighed:
"Master Jia, you were chosen by the emperor, so why did you do such a ridiculous thing?
I just checked and found that these tax grains are all last year’s rice!
It would have been fine if you were a little greedy in the past, but now that we've encountered a natural disaster, you're unwilling to donate money for disaster relief. Are you hoarding a rare commodity and waiting to sell it at a sky-high price?
As a local official, aren't you afraid that the people will point fingers at you and scold you for acting this way?"
Jia Wensheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed violently, and cried bitterly:
