The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Dong Linpei took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued to ask: "What is the current situation of the county government's granary?"

The official at the side quickly replied: "Your Excellency, the county government's granary has not been affected."

Hearing this, Dong Linpei breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed.

He knew that this matter was of great importance and must be reported to the court as soon as possible.

He then asked: "Have you reported this matter to the court?"

After receiving a positive answer, Dong Linpei's expression eased a little.

————

"Dongmei, the general hasn't come back yet?"

"No, I heard something happened in the county and the general went to deal with it."

Yan Xue frowned, "What happened?"

"It is said that the county magistrate of Fengcheng has died. The general should still be investigating there."

"Oh?"

Yan Xue recalled the original owner's memory. At this time in the previous life, the original owner should have been on the way back to Beijing and had no memory of what happened here.

She knew that the county magistrate was the emperor's man. If he died... would it be possible...

She thought about it, picked up a pen and paper with excitement, and wrote a letter, "Give it to my grandfather as soon as possible."

Chun Yu took the letter and said, "Yes."

Ten days later,

Taifu Li looked at the letter written by his granddaughter, pondered for a moment, and the next day he asked his wife to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother early in the morning.

In the middle of the night, the Minister of War, Lord Hu, dressed in disguise, walked into the corner gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and walked out quietly after an hour.

imperial study room,

Yan Lie was furious when he saw the report sent from Fengcheng.

"The county magistrate of Fengcheng was killed in the middle of the night. What are the guards of the entire county doing?"

"Your Majesty, here is another report sent from Northern Frontier."

Yan Lie took it and saw that it was sent by Dong Linpei. He opened it and slammed the table heavily.

"It's outrageous that the county magistrate was killed by Beidi's people. What do they want to do? Do they want to start a war?"

The waiting Minister of War, Lord Hu, said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Barbarians are really too bullying. It would be better to let General Dong teach them a lesson so that they don't lose their sense of the world."

Yan Lie sighed and tapped the table with his fingers. War required military pay, but he didn't want to give money to Northern Frontier right now.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the soldiers in the Northern Frontier military camp can only eat one full meal a day, and the soldiers can hardly even lift their spears. If the Northern Di invade, the Northern Frontier will be in danger."

Yan Lie paused tapping the table and frowned.

Mr. Cao from the Ministry of Revenue immediately raised his head and said, "Mr. Hu, what you said sounds good, but our Ministry of Revenue has no money. What do you think we should do?"

Lord Hu glanced at Lord Cao and continued, "Your Majesty, it is indeed time to pay the soldiers in the Northern Frontier. Only half of the military pay was paid last year. It is already the end of March this year, and it has not been paid yet. How can the military not be in turmoil?"

"Okay, stop arguing, Lord Cao, first give them the military pay for last year, and we'll discuss this year's pay later."

Lord Fang thought for a moment and said quickly, "Your Majesty, since the county magistrate of Fengcheng has passed away, we should send someone to take charge of the situation as soon as possible."

"Master Fang, this is wrong. The Northern Di are eyeing us covetously, and Fengcheng is the closest town to the Northern Di. If we rashly send someone we don't understand to manage it, I'm afraid..."

Lord Fang glanced at Lord Hu and muttered to himself, wondering if Lord Hu wanted to send his own people.

Yan Lie waved his hands and pinched his brows tiredly. He slept with two little beauties last night. He had never enjoyed that feeling before, so he went to bed a little late.

I'm already feeling tired, and I get a headache when I hear people quarreling.

A few people looked at His Majesty and knew that this was the end of the day, so they all took their leave.

Desheng quickly poured a cup of tea, "Your Majesty."

Yan Lie took the tea, took a sip, and felt better.

Desheng thought for a moment and said carefully: "Your Majesty, you must take the emperor's health as the most important thing! He is just a small county magistrate, how can he be worth your trouble?

Even without the county magistrate, we still have the county chancellor!"

Yan Lie thought it made sense and thought to himself why all the fuss was over such a small matter.

"Desheng, then issue an order to have the county magistrate of Feng County temporarily take over the position of county magistrate."

Desheng bowed even lower and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, where is Captain Wang? It's been more than 20 days, why is there no news at all?"

"Well, I will send someone to check it out right away."

Yan Lie waved his hand, stood up from the imperial desk, and staggered to the inner hall.

At this time, in Fengcheng County Government Office, Yan Xue was sitting in the back room.

Zhu County Magistrate poured a cup of tea and handed it to the princess respectfully, "Your Highness, please."

Yan Xue took it, took a sip and said, "County Magistrate Zhu, when you report to the capital every month, you must think clearly about what you can and cannot write."

Zhu County Magistrate immediately knelt at the princess's feet and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Although I am a scholar, I was taught by Li Taifu by chance when I was young.

Although I cannot boast that I am the disciple of the Grand Master, I, Zhu, will never forget this kindness. "

Yan Xue nodded with satisfaction. From then on, she could let go and do it boldly.

Ten days later,

Military camp,

"General, Lord Sun is here, and he has brought all the half-year military pay that was owed to us last year."

Dong Linpei was quite surprised when he heard this. He thought the old emperor was trying to delay giving it to him. "Where are they?"

"It's currently twenty miles away and we'll probably be there by the afternoon."

"it is good."

"General, have you noticed that there are fewer refugees recently? The last time I went to Hua County to purchase supplies, there were refugees within a hundred miles of that place.

But I went out for a walk yesterday and didn't find any. Don't you think this is strange?"

"Yeah! It's indeed a bit strange..." Dong Linpei murmured to himself, but he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

In fact, Dong Linpei discovered this situation last month. He was also puzzled and sent Guo Tong to investigate. Unexpectedly, after investigating, he found that it was related to Captain Xu, so he quickly withdrew the investigators.

He restrained his expression, because he knew that if the princess wanted to tell him the reason, she would naturally take the initiative to speak;

On the other hand, if the princess chose to remain silent, he would not ask too many questions.

"Has the princess returned yet?"

"Not yet. He said he went to the farm."

Dong Linpei nodded.
