Pampering and obedient young husband

Chapter 90 Wu Ying was so full of wishful thinking

Wu Tong's hands were trembling, "This, this, this, sir, this is inappropriate!"

He complained with tears, "Our monthly salary is only a few dozen taels of silver. With this money, we can still How can we afford this one thousand taels of gold to support our family?"

Tong Fan also complained, "Sir, you want us to have one thousand taels of gold, don't you want to kill us?"

Chengjun Yinsi ! Xiao Fei said with a smile, "I heard that there are a lot of flowers in Wutong Magistrate's office, and there are even more famous flowers. I am curious, how can Wu Tongzhi with such a small salary be able to support so many expensive flowers besides raising a family?" Where are the flowers?"

Wu Tongzhi's face turned pale and he broke into a cold sweat.

Cheng Junyin looked at Tongpan again, "Master Tongpan has dozens of concubines in his backyard. I heard that a few days ago, he hired a brother from a brothel and went to the brothel every day to have fun."

He paused and said slowly. He said, "Lord Tongpan, you are really getting stronger with age."

Tongpan was so frightened that his face froze.

Chengjun Yin slowly swept over the other officials. The officials lowered their heads and shrank their heads like quails, for fear of being called out by Chengjun Yin.

Cheng Junyin's expression softened and he smiled, "My lords, don't be nervous. If the land under your jurisdiction receives too much land tax, I will definitely write to my uncle and give you a few nice words in front of him. Wu

Tongzhi hurriedly asked: "May I ask where your uncle stood when he

went to court?"

"He doesn't have to stand." Chengjun Yin said casually, "He can just sit."

All the officials took a breath, and there was only one person who could sit upright, and that was the one sitting on the dragon throne. .

The state judge exclaimed, "Are you Prince Yongzhen?"

The capital was far away from here, and the news from the capital was slow to spread. They only knew that the emperor recognized his nephew who was living among the people and gave him the title of Prince Yongzhen, but I don't know what King Yongzhen looks like.

Wu Tongzhi belatedly murmured, "No wonder..."

No wonder Zou Tongzhi went to Chantie County and came back so distraught that he stayed behind closed doors.

When Zou Tongzhi was implicated by Yi Xie, the officers and soldiers went to Zou's mansion to arrest him and found that Zou Tongzhi had already escaped. The officials chased Zou Tongzhi for nearly a hundred miles before they caught up with him.

It can be seen that Zou Tongzhi began to escape before Yi Jie was convicted.

They were still wondering if Zou Tongzhi had received any information in advance. Now that they thought about it, it must have been that Zou Tongzhi had offended Chengjun Yin in Chantie County and wanted to escape immediately when he came back.

All the officials looked at each other in shock and fear.

Fortunately, they had not really offended Mr. Cheng to death, otherwise they might have ended up with the same fate as Zou Tongzhi.

"Since all the adults have no objections, let's start signing the land parcels now." Chengjun Yin clapped his hands, and Gou Jian placed the documents he had written first in front of the officials one by one, "Your Excellencies, please read carefully before signing. "

The officials looked at the land assigned to them and their eyes were filled with darkness.

They are all officials in the government office. They know better than anyone how bad the tax revenue collected from these fields this year is. Chengjun Yin asked them to collect tax revenue several times in one year. This is tantamount to asking for taxes. They go to the sky to pick the moon, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

The state magistrate's hand holding the pen was trembling, "Sir, if I can't collect the land tax that satisfies you, are there any other ways to remedy the situation?"

Chengjun Yin sighed, "I know it's not easy for all of you, so I'll just do it. I don't care about anything else whether the taxes collected satisfy me."

The officials were stunned and finally understood what Cheng Junyin meant.

If the land tax is not enough, they can pay out of their own pockets!

All the officials heaved a sigh of relief, as there was still a way to keep the black gauze hat on their head.

Wu Tongzhi felt very sad, "Sir, I heard that under your governance, Chantie County has collected extremely high taxes this year. I wonder what method you used, could you give us some advice?"

"Can't you talk about it? "Come on." Chengjun Yin said, "I will use whatever method you use. There is no difference."

The officials felt bitter in their hearts.

What they know about how to fertilize farmland is completely incomplete. Otherwise, how could the tax situation be so bleak this year?

Chengjun Yin stood up and said, "It's already late, let's call it a day."

After saying this, Gou Kang stepped forward and took back the documents signed by the officials.

The officials said goodbye with grim faces. Chengjun Yin knew that none of them would have a good night's sleep tonight.

Cheng Junyin walked out of the private room and felt a chill coming over him.

He sighed, "It's getting cold."

It's time to light the fire, otherwise Brother Tang will be too cold to sleep.

As his body warmed up, Brother Tang's voice rang in his ears, "Yes, husband, you should remember to bring more clothes."

Chengjun Yin turned around in surprise. Brother Tang stood under the lamp, and the light reflected his faint smile blown by the cold wind. The tip of the red nose and the crescent-shaped eyes contain a gentle smile.

He raised his hand and wrapped Brother Tang in his cloak, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

Before Brother Tang responded, Brother Xi couldn't wait to say, "My husband hasn't been back for a day and has been waiting for you."

Brother Tang He explained, "There are many people today, so I don't dare to leave."

Chengjun Yin knew that this was just an excuse. He grabbed Brother Tang's hand and felt the warmth on Brother Tang's fingertips, and his brows relaxed.

Brother Tang pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.

He knew that his husband would grab his hand to check, so he hugged Yu Pozi to warm his hand early.

The first thing Wu Tongzhi did after returning home was to put Wuyingman in solitary confinement. Wuyingman cried, "Dad, I went there to meet Mr. Cheng. Didn't you always want me to marry Mr. Cheng?"

Wu Tongzhi said angrily, "Don't think about it, do you know who Chengjun Yin is?"

Mrs. Wu on the side was stunned, "Husband, what do you mean by this?"

Wu Tongzhi shouted, "Chengjun Yin is The emperor's nephew, Prince Yongzhen! Do you still want to be a princess? What is your identity? "

If Cheng Junyin is just the prefect of Chanzhou, Wu Yingman will naturally marry into the Chengfu. possible.

But Cheng Junyin is the prince and a relative of the emperor! He, a fellow intellectual, has status and status in Chanzhou, but he is nothing in the capital!

"There are so many noble girls in the capital, no matter what, it's not your turn to be the princess!"

It is said that the emperor attaches great importance to King Yongzhen. This princess is not someone who can be chosen by anyone.

Mrs. Wu looked shocked, but Wu Yingman was ecstatic.

"He is the prince? He is actually the prince!"

Prince! If she can marry Chengjun Yin, the child she gives birth to will be the crown prince, and he will be a relative of the emperor from the moment he is born.

Mrs. Wu frowned and asked: "If what you said is true, how can Jing Tangyun still sit on the throne? Does the Emperor allow it? Jing Tangyun is just a rural boy."

Tongzhi Wu was in Chenggong Before Juan Yin took office, he sent people to check Cheng Juan Yin and Jing Tangyun.

Due to limited time, not much was found. We only knew that Chengjun Yin and Jing Tangyun were from Shanxiang County. Jing Tangyun was the husband Chengjun Yin married before he became an official. They had a son.

Wu Tongzhi's voice deepened, "Don't forget, the current mother of the country is also a brother!"

Privately, the nobles of their family did not agree with their brother being the mistress, but the current emperor was an exception.

He warned, "Since Jing Tangyun is still sitting in the right position now, it means that the Holy Emperor acquiesces to this matter, and Jing Tangyun also gave birth to a son for Chengjun Yin. I don't care what you thought before, from now on "Don't try to shake Jing Tangyun's position."

Wuying felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head. She clenched her fists unwillingly, "Jing Tangyun can do it, why can't I? I can also give birth to a son for him!" Wu

Tongzhi's voice was cold, "Because Jing Tangyun married Cheng Junyin when he was in decline, and Cheng Junyin was obviously a sentimental person."

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said, "Husband, you are right. Yingman is indeed not worthy of the position of the principal concubine, but what about the concubine?"

She looked at Wu Tongzhi, her voice was gentle, and there was ambition hidden in her eyes, "As the saying goes, the first to get the moon is the one who is near the water, and although he is a prince, he is also a cicada now. Magistrate, you are his subordinate, and there are many opportunities for him to come into contact with Yingman. No matter how affectionate this man is, he cannot be indifferent to women. If Yingman can really become Chengjun Yin's concubine, she will be his lover in the future. After giving birth to a son and a half, as Yingman's father, won't your status in the court also rise?"

Wu Tongzhi was shaken, and Mrs. Wu continued, "You have already said that this sage attaches great importance to Chengjun Yin. , and what this man can't stand is the wind on his pillow. If you let Yingman blow the breeze for you and Chengjun Yin say a few words of kindness to you in front of the emperor, why would you worry about not being promoted?"

Wu Tongzhi was silent. .

Wuying said excitedly: "Dad! Mom is right."

Before meeting Chengjun Yin, she never thought that one day she would be willing to become someone else's sidekick.

But Chengjunyin is different. Chengjunyin is a prince and a relative of the emperor!

Being able to become the prince's concubine is a blessing that many women dream of?

Wu Tongzhi glared at her, "If you don't cause such a scandal in front of Chengjunyin today, why should I worry that Chengjunyin doesn't like you?"

Wuying felt a chill in her heart. She thought of something and gritted her teeth, "Dad, I can save it! I can make Cheng Junyin like me and dislike Brother Tang."

Wu Tongzhi asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure about this?"

Wu Yingman emphasized firmly. I do!"

Wu Tongzhi thought for a long time and said, "Okay, I won't confine you, but you'd better not cause trouble for me recently."

Wu Ying was full of joy and said, "Okay."

At dawn, Chengjun Yin said. Brother Tang went out in a carriage together.

Brother Tang nestled in Chengjun Yin's arms, yawning.

Chengjun Yin complained, "You, you, you won't sleep in a good bed, and you insist on going out with me in the cold weather."

Brother Tang put his arms around Chengjun Yin's neck and said softly: "Workers are all here." You're waiting for me. How can I be late?"

Cheng Juanyin hugged him and patted his back, "You don't have to arrange for them to arrive so early."

Brother Tang nuzzled into Cheng Juanyin's arms and said with a smile. : "I want to go out with my husband."

Chengjun Yin's heart softened, "You are the best at manipulating me."

Brother Tang pursed his lips and snickered.

When they arrived at the government office, Cheng Junyin secretly kissed Brother Tang before jumping out of the carriage.

He straightened his clothes and was about to walk into the government office when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

He looked back and saw a man on a tall horse wearing iron armor with a cold expression and a pair of eagle eyes that were menacing.

The man on the horse turned over and looked down at Chengjunyin with a height of nearly two meters. "Master Cheng, I have admired you for a long time." Chengjunyin narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled lightly, "Master Wu, I have admired you for

a long time."

Pinzhoumu, in charge of the military power of Chanzhou.

Before his brother left, he reminded him that the governor of Chanzhou was Xiang Jue.

Since he took office as the magistrate of Chanzhou, he has been waiting for Wu Qian to come to him, and today he finally did.

He asked kindly: "Come in and sit down?"

"No need." Wu Qianli looked coldly, "I heard that your Excellency asked all your men to suppress bandits a while ago?"

Chengjun Yin nodded.

The corner of Wu Qianliu's mouth curled up, seeming to be mocking and disdainful, "My lord, have you been able to suppress the bandits?"

Chengjun Yin's eyes darkened, "No."

Wu Qianliu asked, "Did we not be able to suppress the bandits, or at all? There are no bandits?"

Cheng Junyin asked, "What do you mean by Master Wu's words?"

"Chanzhou is an area under my jurisdiction. I know better than you whether there are bandits." Wu Qian's eagle eyes deepened, "Master Cheng takes office. The first thing I did after that was to suppress the bandits. I would like to ask Mr. Cheng, are you blaming me for my poor performance or maliciously slandering me?"

Chengjun Yin laughed angrily, "When I came here, the bandits were killed by the bandits. Robbery, shouldn't I let my men suppress the bandits? The bandits are arrogant in Chanzhou. As the state shepherd of Chanzhou, you know that there are bandits but you don't go to suppress them, but you come here to slander me? What do you want?"

Wu Qianli didn't give in at all, "Master Cheng keeps saying there are bandits, but where is the evidence? Why should I believe you?"

Chengjun Yin seemed anxious, "Then if I can show it, Where is the evidence?"

"Then I will send troops to suppress the bandits!" Wu Qianlu's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Okay." Cheng Junyin's lips curled up slightly, his expression softened, and he showed no signs of excitement just now. "If I produce evidence, I hope Master Wu will keep his promise."

He paused and emphasized, "Send troops to suppress the bandits."

He was worried that no one would help him suppress the bandits, so Wu Qian plundered them and sent them to his door.

Wu Qian's face twisted, "Are you provoking me?"

Chengjun Yinqian said with a smile, "How dare you, Mr. Wu."

"Okay!" Wu Qian's cheeks twitched in anger, "I'm waiting for you to come up with evidence. But I would like to advise you," Wu Qianliu approached Chengjunyin and lowered her voice, "Don't stretch your hands too far!"

Chengjunyin's eyes turned cold. Seeing Wu Qianliu riding away, he straightened his clothes. He walked into the government office.

Gou Cheng was angry and said, "Sir, he doesn't take you seriously."

Chengjun Yin looked indifferent, "He is a fourth-rank official like me, so why should he take me seriously?"

He was worried. Yes, did Wu Qianliu really not know that there were bandits, or did she know that there were bandits and deliberately concealed it?

If it's the former, it's a blessing, but if it's the latter...

his lowered hands tightened.

The collusion between the army and bandits will cause suffering to the people and endanger the court.

In the distance, Brother Tang lowered the curtain and said, "You can go."

Just halfway through the carriage, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Out of curiosity, he asked the coachman to stop. He did not expect to see this scene.

Brother Xi was worried, "That person seems to be very difficult to offend."

Brother Tang reassured, "Which one of the people my husband has provoked has been easier to offend?"

Brother Xi: "..."

There was an argument outside, Brother Tang opened the curtain.

A thin scholar was thrown out of the store by the waiter with one hand, "Get out! If you dare to come here again, I will beat you to death!"

Brother Tang frowned and looked up at the plaque on the storefront - 'Tanji Grain Shop'.

The scholar fell to the ground and trembled, not knowing whether he was afraid or angry.

The grain store was stocking goods, and the tall waiters easily carried the heavy loads of rice and passed by the scholar.

Brother Tang's eyes darkened, "Stop the car."

The groom stopped the car, and Brother Tang walked slowly to the scholar. Brother Xi hurriedly pulled the scholar up, "What's going on?"

The scholar pointed to the grain store and reluctantly asked. He cursed out of fear, "The rice they sold me was adulterated with soil. I went to confront them and they threatened me!"

Brother Tang looked towards the grain store and happened to catch eye with the waiter at the grain store. He warned fiercely, "Don't mind your own business!"

Brother Xi said angrily, "What's your attitude? How dare you be so arrogant when rice is mixed with soil?"

The waiter was confident, "You have evidence to prove that his rice comes from our store. Did you buy it from here?"

Brother Tang frowned, "Brother Xi, we are here to buy rice, not to cause trouble."

Brother Xi closed his mouth unwillingly, and the waiter smiled, "This husband. That's right."

Brother Tang ignored him and just said to the scholar, "If you have any grievances, report it to the official."

The scholar had tears in his eyes and said nothing.

The waiter sneered, as if he was disdainful, but also seemed determined that the scholar would not dare to sue the official.

Brother Tang walked up to the grain store. The grains of rice he saw were full and not mixed with anything else.

Brother Xi leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Master, the waiter is staring at us from behind."

If there was no evil in his heart, there was no need for the waiter to stare at them like a thief.

Brother Tang also knew this truth, but he didn't see anything wrong after wandering for a long time. Just as he was about to leave, he saw an old woman in ragged clothes being led back by other waiters. He felt a shiver in his heart and was about to leave. He followed but was stopped by the waiter.

The waiter stretched out a hand and put it in front of him, "This husband, you can't go inside."

Brother Tang lowered his eyes and looked at the half-covered scars on the waiter's sleeves, his eyes darkened, "Why can't you go inside? " " Come in?"

"You can't come in if you say you can't." The waiter looked irritated, "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, get out."

Brother Tang comforted Taotie and said, "Brother Xi." , let's go."

Brother Xi glared at the waiter fiercely and followed Brother Tang into the carriage.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped. Brother Tang got out of the carriage and walked into the store where the plaque had not yet been hung.

In the store, the workers stood up and looked at him with burning eyes.

Brother Tang rolled up his sleeves and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "Today I will teach you how to make... wide noodles."

After the opening of the Bamboo Restaurant, the second store he will open is a noodle shop.

As the weather gets colder, I believe that chili powder, chili noodles and other foods will be welcomed by the people.

In the government office, the officials were anxiously surrounding a bucket of excrement.

They covered their mouths and noses, looking in pain, and had to carefully recall the method of fertilizing the fields that the envoy taught them.

However, even though they were sweating profusely, they still couldn't piece together a complete method of fertilizing the fields.

Chengjun Yin stared at them from a distance, and when he saw that they were slacking off a little, he reminded him, "Hey, you are in charge of so much land, and the taxes you have to collect are quite a lot."

If the yield per mu is low, the land tax collected will be high. If it's not enough, they have to pay out of their own pockets.

The officials immediately continued the discussion as if they were on fire. If they disagreed on any point, they would become red-faced and quarrelsome.

Many officials got so excited that they were caught off guard and inhaled a big breath of stench. They immediately threw themselves aside in disgust and vomited violently. After vomiting, they had to continue the discussion.

At the end of the day, the officials were miserable. Chengjun Yin saw that the time was almost up and asked them to go back. Wu Tongzhi said, "Sir, autumn planting is imminent. We must figure out how to fertilize the fields as soon as possible."

Chengjun Yin smiled. "Shan."

The other officials' eyes darkened, and they cursed Wu Tongzhi's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts.

Chengjun Yin wanted to see what Wu Tongzhi was trying to do, so he waited patiently.

He ate the noodle soup brought by Brother Tang an hour ago, and he wasn't hungry now. He had plenty of time to spend with them.

When it got dark, the yamen servant came to report, "There is someone outside claiming to be Miss Wu who is delivering food to Tongzhi Wu."

Chengjun Yin understood in his heart, "Let her in."

He said meaningfully, "We can't let her down. Miss Wu's filial piety. "

Wu Yingman was dressed brightly, with a dazzling hairpin. She didn't look like she was here to deliver food, but to meet her lover.

Seeing Chengjun Yin, Wuying Manshi saluted, her voice was as gentle as if she could squeeze out water, "Hello, Mr. Cheng."

Chengjun Yin pointed to a smelly place not far away, "Your father is there."

Although Wuyingman had already guessed that Chengjunyin would not look good on her because of what happened last time, but when she saw Chengjun Yin was so indifferent, but still felt very depressed inside.

She looked at Wu Tongzhi not far away, faintly smelled the disgusting smell, and her face immediately twisted.

"Sir, my father is busy. I don't dare to go up and disturb him. Can you wait here for a while?"

She lowered her eyes and leaned down slightly. Her neck was plump and white.

Cheng Junyin caught a glimpse of it by accident, frowned and looked away.

"There are so many officials present, but you are the only one here, Miss Wu, to deliver food to Lord Wu. It shows that you are very filial."

Wu Ying was filled with joy, "Your Excellency, thank you."

Chengjun Yin said again, "It's already late, Lord Wu. You must be very hungry. Miss Wu brought the food specially. I don't want Mr. Wu to starve, so why don't you send it over now?"

The smile on Wu Yingman's face froze, "It's not convenient for him, daddy."

Chengjun Yin smiled slightly. , there was no smile in his eyes, "I mean, you can feed him."

Wuyingman raised his head in disbelief, "Sir!"

Chengjun Yin asked, "What should I do?"

Wuyingman bit aggrievedly. Tighten lower lip.

How could you do this to me!

Chengjun Yin said calmly, "Is it possible that Miss Wu brought the meal here not sincerely, but just to gain a good reputation?"

Wuying was anxious, "No, sir, please don't misunderstand."

She was worried. Heng, "I'll go right away."

She walked toward Wu Tongzhi as if she was going to die, but was retched before she even got close.

She turned back with tears in her eyes, trying to win Cheng Junyin's pity, but Cheng Junyin showed no pity for her, and only asked doubtfully: "Why don't you leave?"

She could only bite the bullet and continue walking forward until she reached the Next to the dung bucket, her face turned pale.

When Wu Tongzhi saw that she failed to stay with Chengjun Yin, he felt that she was useless.

Seeing that her face was as white as paper, she couldn't help but cursed, "Squeamish."

The smell now was not as bad as before.

Wu Tongzhi had no awareness of his own smelling habits.
