Until now they don't know when their work on trees will be finished. Judging from what she said just now, they will be indispensable for this kind of work in the future.
He saw that they didn't need to stay in the Ministry of Works anymore. When they returned to Beijing, they could apply to work in the Agriculture Department of the Ministry of Revenue and make contributions to Xia Country's agriculture!
But a few of them dared not express themselves and could only hold it in. They had learned their lesson, having suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of this county magistrate.
Not only did they not shirk the tree planting job, but they were also given a lot of responsibilities and titles for no reason. Now they dare not mess with this female devil.
I thought that with the prince here, we could achieve some results today, but didn’t you see the look of satisfaction and joy on the prince’s face when he looked at Jun?
The only thing missing is that his eyes are glued to the army. How can he possibly speak for them or do things for them?
It seems I'd better keep quiet from now on and wait until I return to Beijing safely.
The adults received a severe lesson this time. They knew that they could not defeat the county in the North City, and there was no one to support them, so they could only hide.
"Okay, now that you are all fine, go back. I hope you can work seriously in the future."
Li Xiaochen only spoke at this time, and the first word he spoke was a warning.
"Yes, I understand. I will take my leave now."
Wang Feng and the others became nervous and lowered their heads quickly to reply.
Then they all retreated cautiously.
Lin Yuxin watched them all leave before snorting coldly:
"Humph, you are such a grown-up, and you still come to complain about this."
"Okay, Yuxin, don't be angry anymore. It's not worth getting angry over these few people. Just use them more in the future. Don't be angry!"
Li Xiaochen saw that Lin Yuxin was unhappy and hurriedly tried to comfort her, but he also knew that Yuxin was not the kind of person who would suffer from anger, and she must be thinking of ways to deal with these people.
Just as Li Xiaochen was thinking this, he heard Lin Yuxin's thoughts.
[These bastards, I am so busy every day that I don't even have time to sleep, and they are still saying that I am neglecting my duties and don't care about their lives? Originally, I just wanted them to be tired and not cause trouble for me. Now it seems that I gave them too little work, and I have to give them more tomorrow. Humph! They don't even have the energy to complain. ]
Lin Yuxin complained in her heart for a long time, and only after she thought of a solution did she feel a little less angry.
She lost her good expression even when looking at Li Xiaochen, and said directly:
"Okay, I'm going back to my room to rest, you can do whatever you want."
Lin Yuxin stood up and said this, without even looking at Li Xiaochen, she took Xiaohao and left.
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin's back with an innocent look on his face, and spoke after a while:
"Is the king implicated?"
Wang Yu also looked at his master with sympathy and wanted to say yes.
After a moment's hesitation, he spoke:
"Your Highness, the princess is just angry. Everything will be fine once she calms down. Don't worry, Your Highness."
"You're not the one to tell me!"
Li Xiaochen rolled his eyes at Wang Yu and said unhappily.
Wang Yu: …?
You are the one who asked the question. I have not told you the truth for your sake!
Zhao Yi then spoke:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"say."
Li Xiaochen spoke expressionlessly.
So Zhao Yi told him about Zhong Zuan, the prefect of Beicheng government office, and the gold and silver in the backyard warehouse.
"Gun 덿 said he would wait for you to come back and deal with it."
Zhao Yiye explained what Lin Yuxin meant.
"I understand. I will take care of this. Yuxin is so busy every day, so I won't let her worry about these little things. Let Yuxin take care of the gold, silver and jewelry. How is Zhong Zuan?"
Li Xiaochen said this calmly, and finally asked about the situation of Zhong Zuan.
"Your Highness, the governor asked us to starve him for a few days, but he passed out after being hungry for a few days. After we woke him up, we gave him a meal every day to keep him alive for the time being."
Zhao Yi also answered truthfully.
"Well, let's go and meet the prefect."
Li Xiaochen stood up, spoke coldly, and walked towards the door.
Tonight was destined to be an uneven night. Lin Yuxin sent Xiaohao back to the house, and after chatting for a while, she returned to her own room.
Afterwards, she planted rice in the space overnight and had a good harvest. Her wheat was also successfully planted.
Because of the magic dew, the quality and size of the wild wheat were very poor. However, after Lin Yuxin took it into the space and planted a crop, the wheat grains were full and golden in color, which was very tempting.
Lin Yuxin planted wheat all night, and now she has harvested 1,000 kilograms of wheat seeds.
Li Xiaochen was also busy all night, interrogating Zhong Zuan, who else was behind him, and who collected the money.
Fortunately, there have been some breakthroughs.
Wang Feng and the other adults also did not have a good rest. As soon as they thought about the hard days ahead, they lost their good mood.
When the former emperor ordered them to come, he thought they could make merit this time and didn't take the county seriously at all.
As a result, they were slapped hard in the face.
As soon as they arrived, they were bankrupt and penniless. In addition, they were not given any important tasks and were forced to plant trees, without any means of resistance.
How could they sleep like this! When they thought about planting trees tomorrow, they wanted to pack their bags and return to the capital!
Xiaohao was probably the only one who slept soundly in this government office. A six-year-old child didn’t have many worries.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaochen came out of the cell, smelling of blood. As soon as he walked near the guest room, he saw Lin Yuxin coming.
Lin Yuxin looked at him in surprise and asked angrily:
"What have you been doing? You're so angry and you haven't slept all night?"
"Well! I went to check with Zhong Zuan to see if there was anyone behind this."
Li Xiaochen originally wanted to hide himself and didn't want Yuxin to see him full of anger, but he was seen anyway and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"What's the result? Did you ask anything?"
"It's the Third Prince's people."
Li Xiaochen said in a deep voice, which reminded him of Yu Xin's thoughts in the imperial study, that is, the Third Prince was an accomplice of the drought. Without the Third Prince's interference, so many people of the Wang family would not have died.
It all seems to be true. Fortunately, Yuxin controlled the person as soon as she arrived, otherwise it would definitely not be as beautiful as it is now.
[Sure enough, the book said that the Third Prince would make a move during the drought, but he planted a leader in the North City. Now she came and arrested him. I guess the North City has already started to riot.]
[She came to the government office on a whim, hoping to catch him off guard so that she could find the treasure he had hidden. The way he hid the money was so good that even she had to say it was nice. Who would hide so much money under the toilet in the government office?]
[If Zhao Yi and the others had not caught him on the spot and didn't hide him, Lin Yuxin wouldn't have kept the money. She should have sent it all back to the emperor.]
[However, the Third Prince has been captured. I wonder if he will vomit blood when he finds out? With so much gold and silver, I'm afraid he will vomit blood like the Crown Prince and then be convalescent for half a month, right? ]
When Lin Yuxin thought of this, she looked as if she was gloating over the misfortune.
Li Xiaochen heard her thoughts and saw her happy look. He wanted to reach out and rub her head, but when he thought about how dirty he was now, he forced himself to hold back.
"You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to wash up and change my clothes."
Li Xiaochen spoke to her softly.
