Chapter 230 The Source of Banditry

What daffodil? Yun Fushang just turned her head away.

The man in front of me looks pretty good, fresh and unworldly, and his temperament is really like a narcissus.

Compared with Qingyao, they do have their own beauty. The one thing they have in common is that they both have very pure temperaments.

"You called?" Yun Fushang asked Li Yunlin in a low voice.

She clearly didn't see Li Yunlin do anything just now.

Li Yunlin smiled like a scoundrel: "That's right, young master, I have good taste, I just like these, men who look good even without makeup!"

Indeed, when she came in, Yun Fushang didn't see many good-looking people. Most of them were wearing makeup and had lost that feeling.

"Looks good," she praised.

The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for the man to hear.

But the man was neither arrogant nor impatient. Perhaps he had heard too many such comments, which gave him this attitude towards compliments:

"You are too kind."

The sound is like orchestral music and the sound of stringed instruments.

Yun Fushang turned her head and asked, "Your name is Narcissus?"

"Mr. Narcissus, please play a song for me!" Li Yunlin was in high spirits. "Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Narcissus."

The two guests in front of her are both outstanding talents and the pride of heaven. How could Narcissus not be happy?

None of his previous customers were so good-looking, so it was not unfair for him to play a song for them.

Secondly, he recognized one of them, the prefect of Qingzhou, Li Yunlin.

When I was with her, she was very respectful, so her status must be not low.

"What do you mean? Could there be another identity?" Yun Fushang took a sip of tea. "I heard that the leader of the banditry might be from Nanzhao?"

Li Yunlin raised his eyebrows and pushed a cup of tea towards her:

"Indeed, and I also heard that it was a woman!"

Yun Fushang frowned, is she a woman?

"She has a younger brother?" Li Yunlin was a little uncertain, but he still told his story. "Just as you guessed, this group of people are all slaves, and most of them are tenant farmers under the rich families, or they are slaves and servants."

"These people have never enjoyed a good life, nor have they ever eaten well. They have been working hard and suffering for generations.

"Being abused, there was nothing good about him, and he had no hope, until a slave uprising succeeded, and then it swept across all the countries. Then Nanzhao was the most unfortunate, because they had to attack Nanzhao first."

Yun Fushang frowned, then said, "No wonder, we really didn't expect it."

Li Yunlin glanced at Yun Fushang strangely and said:

"You are really kind enough. I can't believe that there is more blood on your hands than on mine!"

Yun Fushang said calmly: "Whoever dares to block the path of His Majesty, I will kill him with my own hands."

Before her mother passed away, she told her personally to take good care of her sister. Of course, she knew that Jiaojiao had no relationship with her in the academy, but even so, the relationship between the two of them for more than ten years could not be easily changed.

Moreover, Jiaojiao's personality has changed drastically since she woke up from the injury, but he also felt that it was a good thing that she had changed.

Otherwise, she would never be able to bear to leave her sister no matter what!

Yun Fushang came back to her senses. She had already told her mother that she would take good care of Jiaojiao.

My only sister.

Fortunately, Jiaojiao is also very kind to her and very caring. When sisters support each other, there will be nothing they cannot do.

This is true now and it will be true in the future!

"You are so loyal indeed! No wonder, not everyone can be such a favorite minister!"

Yun Fushang raised her eyebrows: "You are not that smart, and you look like a street urchin!"

Li Yunlin's eyes were filled with treacherous intent: "Isn't it all thanks to Young Master Yun's support? If you say a few good words about me in front of His Majesty one day, then everything will be possible, right?"

Yun Fushang nodded seriously:

"Of course not. I can't cause trouble for His Majesty. Let's stop it!"

Li Yunlin was so angry that he almost laughed. Fortunately, the business was still going on, so he said:

"So, after causing a lot of trouble, the bandits hid themselves. We don't know why. Maybe they heard about it and thought it was not suitable to confront them head-on when the troops arrived. So they hid themselves and wanted to find a roundabout way."

Yun Fushang nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is, my movements were too big!"

"Are all those people women?"

Li Yunlin thought about it and confirmed: "Slavery does not distinguish between men and women, so there should be men here, and a small number of them should be the backbone of the army!"

"We have had many cases of slaves being abused and sold here before. The cruelty and intolerance of slaves has made many people in Qingzhou shudder. Perhaps this is the root cause of the problem, right?"

The song "Narcissus" had just finished being played.

The two of them also stopped abruptly.

Li Yunlin stood up, took a small brocade bag and placed it in front of Narcissus:

"I know that a song by Mr. Narcissus is worth a thousand gold coins, but I didn't bring much silver with me when I went out. This money is just a token of my appreciation for the time being."

Narcissus smiled and said, "Why are you two ladies so polite? I am very satisfied to be in the same room with you."

"Soon, our Chu House will have a competition for pleasure boats. Why don't you two come and see who will win the championship?"

Yun Fushang also took out a purse and placed it in front of Narcissus.

As far as she knew, this painting boat competition should be a competition jointly organized by several Chu Halls, just to prove to everyone which Chu Hall is the strongest and whose son can win the championship!

Besides, all the gentlemen hope that someone will support them and then show off their suitors to their peers!

Li Yunlin nodded slightly, his eyes lit up:

"There is such a good thing?"

After hearing these words, Li Yunlin quickly took Yun Fushang away. She had a good impression of Narcissus, but because of this incident, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!

As soon as he walked out of the door of Yaoxianlou, Li Yunlin said to Yun Fushang aggrievedly:

"Why didn't you stop me when I said that stupid thing?"

Yun Fushang held up her hands: "Why should I hold you back? You've already said what you want to say!"

Indeed, Li Yunlin could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll go back and write a letter to my family, telling them that I have no pocket money!"

"How much pocket money do you have?" Yun Fushang was somewhat curious about the pocket money of these children from aristocratic families. "It can't be 100,000 taels of silver, right?"

Li Yunlin was shocked and thought Yun Fushang's thinking was really outrageous:

"One hundred thousand taels, that's seven or eight months' income for my family. How can you say that?"
