Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away
Chapter 444: Build Roads First if You Want to Be Rich
"I wonder if there are any hills near here, Lord Chen?" Wen Jiu asked softly.
"Yes, Qiongzhou is not short of mountains. Many of them have been reclaimed. I wonder why Miss Wen asked this?" Prefect Chen was confused.
"I watched along the way when I came here. The further I went, the poorer it got. The roads were not good, and the snow in the city was not easy to walk on. It must be even worse when it rained." After Wen Jiu finished speaking, Prefect Chen's face was not good either. He knew, and County Magistrate Jiang also knew. They also wanted to do things for the people, but the repair money reported to the court had not been received, and the Ministry of Revenue had been crying poor.
"My brother and I may give it a try. I believe that Prefect Chen should know Ganzhou County." Wen Jiu was sure that he knew. After all, Ganzhou had already recovered to its peak at this time.
Of course, Prefect Chen knew about it. It was originally not much better than their place, but now it has become as prosperous as a small capital. It is also Miss Wen’s fiefdom. It was built up step by step by Miss Wen during Master Su’s tenure. His eyes lit up.
"The emperor did not dismiss the old general and all of you from your official positions. Only Princess An Ning's title was revoked. She was not an ordinary exiled criminal. She was just framed. I am waiting for the day of vindication. If you do not want to be called an official, then I will call you Master, Madam and Young Master." Lord Chen said this sincerely. He originally admired the loyalty and bravery of the general's mansion.
"Can you show me some mountains? Did Xiao Jingbai say that I can order you around?" Wen Jiu asked
“By command”
“If you want to be rich, build roads first”
The discussion in the study stopped in the next two hours. It was almost time for dinner, so everyone came out.
"Grandfather, you guys live in this humble courtyard. My elder brother, Bai Zhi and I will go up the mountain to take a look. We must build this place up." After finishing the meal, she warmed up the wine and helped the old general back to the courtyard and whispered to him.
The old general turned his head with disapproval in his eyes, but Wenjiu said, "Grandfather, I know you are disappointed with the court, but I am the old man's disciple. I think you also know that the capital may have been in chaos by now. I want the whole Qiongzhou in my hands. The Su family can stay out of it, but I must possess it. If grandfather is angry, I will bear any punishment for Jiuer, but I still have to find my second brother and his wife, and I also want the general's mansion to erase the stigma. I may not take the initiative to rebel, but I must have the ability to resist at least. Grandfather's journey has not been smooth, and some of my men have died and some have been injured. He or more than him doesn't want us to come to Qiongzhou alive."
After entering the house to warm up the wine, he knelt down immediately, which frightened Su Jinyu, and she knelt down too out of concern for her.
The old general looked at the two men and told them to get up and go back to rest. He was tired. How could he not know that someone didn't want them to live? Jiu'er's words kept lingering in his ears. The ability to resist had to be at least there. Yes, he was already so loyal that his children, grandsons, and even this granddaughter who was in his palm had lost their great wealth and glory to accompany him, an old man, into exile.
"Hahaha" He laughed a few times, whimpering softly, and complained bitterly to his old wife for abandoning him all alone in their life, leaving him alone, lonely, and bringing trouble to his grandchildren.
"Baizhi stays here to observe. It's been a hard night. Grandfather, if you need anything, call me."
"Yes Miss"
"Actually, I believe that Grandfather can figure it out. How can you go up the mountain in your condition? Just stay at home and tell me to do it." Su Jinyu couldn't understand at all.
"Brother, how can I hide it?" Wen Jiu glanced at his belly. Su Jinyu was silent, powerless and frustrated.
Wen Jiu seemed to see his decadence and hurriedly persuaded him, "Brother, your talent can lead Qiongzhou to a better development, just like Ganzhou. And I think you have a plan in mind. I am going to the mountain to contact the people I sent out, as well as to contact Prince Duan, so there will be quite a few people on the mountain by then, and you will have to help smooth things over. Just say that I am going to the mountain to open up wasteland. The one I chose is steep, but it is difficult to attack and easy to defend, and it is the most suitable."
"Okay." Su Jinyu looked at her mischievous smile, how could she not agree? Then she looked at her belly and frowned.
Beijing
Today, many merchants dressed in foreign costumes came to Beijing. Xiao Jingbai's lips were slightly curled, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of charm.
Another major event happened in the capital. The Seventh Princess suffered another stroke. The Princess's Mansion was under the full control of the Prince Consort Yan Xiu. Because of the confiscation of the General's Mansion, there was no trace of Prince Jing. The Emperor was sure that the Imperial Concubine and Prince Jing had swallowed these things. With the instigation of Lipin, it was getting more and more absurd. He even began to secretly suppress the people he had created for Prince Jing.
Two days later, the news came from the East Palace that the abandoned prince had died. The queen cried bitterly! The look she gave Lipin was like a poison.
Yan Xiu tried to win over his elder brother's former subordinates, telling them that he had been playing along with them in the capital for the past few years and that he would not stop until he avenged his elder brother. He told them to wait for the right opportunity and that they could cause trouble for the court recently, and he would find a way to get the princess's property.
Xiao Qing'er was filled with endless fear and could not say anything. Now she needed help with everything from eating and drinking to defecating and urinating. When she had nothing to do, Yan Xiu would push her wheelchair and take her out for a walk, or stay in the Princess's Mansion. He had earned all the fame. Xiao Qing'er was speechless. Even when Emperor Yuan had tears in his eyes, he just thought she had a stroke and was in pain. He comforted Yan Xiu to take good care of her.
On this day, Princess Jing came to visit Xiao Qing'er, and in front of her, the two of them were kissing each other, not taking her Xiao Qing'er seriously at all. Xiao Qing'er hated them and looked at them with red eyes. Chu Tunan saw her look and looked at her provocatively and said, "Seventh sister, what are you looking at? Oh, this is your child, he is so ugly, not like my You'er, who looks..." Chu Tunan didn't finish his words and looked at Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu smiled at you.
They were not afraid of anything now, they just wanted to stimulate her, to make her reach the bliss sooner. She couldn't move but vomited blood and fainted. The two of them thought it was bad luck and sent Chu Tunan away. At this time, a maid ran out and stuffed medicine into Xiao Qing'er's mouth.
"Princess, this is the medicine I asked for from the miracle doctor. It can help you recover for a while. I think you must tell the emperor, otherwise no one can help you, princess, wuwuwu." The maid cried sadly.
Xiao Qing'er regained some strength and thought to herself, yes, my mother and I have broken up, my second brother will not believe me at all, only my father is left, she picked up the pen and wrote a few pages, and finally lost her strength. I wrote down everything I know, using the crown prince to bully others, even if I die, Chu Tunan, you have to accompany me, and your proud son has to be buried with me.
After she finished writing, the maid whispered in her ear, "Xiao Qing'er, this is the retribution you deserve for harming Young Master Su's leg. You don't know it yet! Your child is not Yan Xiu's at all. The beggars he caught from outside were the ones who came to your bridal chamber on the first night. He was so kind as to let those people take a bath and fumigate themselves with incense, every night until you got pregnant. You are stupid in every way, and you even dared to harm the old lady. Don't forget to atone for your sins when you go to the Avici Hell after you die."
Xiao Qing'er turned her head and looked at the two children. Such a dirty bloodline, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, it was those lowly people who lingered with her every night. Her eyes were wide open and she couldn't catch her breath.
Not long after, a letter was delivered by another palace maid, and the Seventh Princess died that night!!!
"Sure enough, it was intercepted. Is this Xiao Qing'er's handwriting?" Chu Tunan asked
"I have never seen her write, so I guess she is incapable of writing. But how did she know about this, and how many other people know about it? Nan'er, nothing can happen to our son, and we may have to rethink our previous plans." Yan Xiu coldly looked at the maid lying on the ground, bleeding more and more until she died.
