The moon falling to the ground

Jian Yue also seemed to realize that what she said was inappropriate, and quickly covered her mouth: "Sorry, I accidentally told the truth."

County Magistrate: ...You might as well not explain.

"Please help me, Princess." The county magistrate saluted Jian Yue again.

Jian Yue hurriedly raised her hand and said in a fake tone: "You are welcome, County Magistrate. It's my duty." Then she called Fan Da in and asked him to make the arrangements.

The county magistrate thanked him again and happily went to the door to wait.

then……

One, two, three, four???

The county magistrate looked at the four people in front of him, and to be honest, he really couldn't laugh.

Fan Da laughed out loud: "Mr. County Magistrate, please take people to rescue Mr. County Magistrate! No need to thank me anymore."

County Magistrate: ...Who wants to thank you?

Another day passed, and the county lieutenant led his men to search the entire city. Finally, they found the magistrate in a remote alley. The magistrate and his mistress were tied naked to the bed with ropes, and their stomachs were beating like drums from hunger. The entourage and the maids were also tied up and thrown into the kitchen.

The officials witnessed with their own eyes the magistrate supporting Xiao Taohong in such a way, and they felt very amazed.

Soon, the magistrate's wife, who had just woken up, learned about this. She suddenly vomited blood and fainted.

Magistrate Zhao didn't know what he had said, he just remembered that he was knocked unconscious. After being rescued, he was still angry because of being watched. When he learned that he had been trapped for two days, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart and crawled to the secret room of the warehouse.

Half an hour later, Magistrate Zhao left the warehouse in a daze. His eyes were empty and he muttered, "It's over! It's all over!"

A few days later, Ji Yunzhong arrived in Tong County with an imperial edict and a team of people. He read the imperial edict outside the county government office, announcing the crimes of Zhao Zhixian for privately increasing taxes, occupying people's land, and bullying the people. He also announced that his family would be confiscated in front of the people of Tong County and executed immediately. His clansmen were tattooed with words and exiled 3,000 miles away.

All the wealthy families who were close to County Magistrate Zhao suffered, especially Zheng Laifu's family, whose entire property was confiscated and they were driven out of Tong County.

An hour after Ji Yunzhong's imperial decree was announced, several wealthy families in Tong County who reacted quickly took their land deeds and sent them to the Princess's Mansion, saying that there were too many beggars in the county, which was not conducive to the development of Tong County. They were willing to give some of their land to these people so that they could have a stable home.

These people not only gave up the land they had illegally occupied over the years, but also gave up half of the land and gold and silver treasures they had accumulated before, with the purpose of spending money to avoid disaster.

Jian Yue knew that she should stop when she saw the good. Besides, their sincerity was sufficient, so she said that she could say a few good words for them in front of the Fifth Prince.

The wealthy people left with gratitude.

Fu Yun sneered: "What were you doing earlier? You can't cross the river without being whipped."

Jian Yue sighed: "People are always easily blinded by greed. Otherwise, how could there be the saying 'Don't cry until you see the coffin'?"

Although Ningyuan Hou learned the news in advance and expelled Zhao Zhixian's branch from the clan in advance, the emperor was furious and demoted him to earl and fined him one year's salary.

Bai Jianxiong, the Lord of Pingchang Prefecture, was demoted to his lowest position and all his property was confiscated.

Emperor Jingzhen was very happy.

The national treasury received an additional source of income.

Oh! These parasites are so hateful that they are richer than an emperor who has worked so hard and made great contributions. But it doesn't matter. It seems more delicious to fatten them up and then kill them.

Jian Yue: So don't be greedy for ill-gotten gains. If you keep on being greedy, you will end up being used as a tool for others.

Without the stumbling block, Jian Yue made drastic reforms. Although she had never been an official, she was from the modern era after all, and had heard a lot and had a wide range of knowledge. She recruited a few more staff members. She made suggestions and asked the staff members to come up with plans based on the actual situation to vigorously develop the economic agriculture of Tong County.

……

Three years later, Tong County became a prosperous county famous for its famous wines and medicinal materials. Tong County's various famous wines were sold all over the country.

Ji Yunzhong finally got his beautiful wife. He and Jian Yue got married during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. The wedding was grand and lively.

The residence of Grand Secretary Zhou sent a generous dowry as a godparent and attended the ceremony as part of the bride's family.

As a master, Dr. Mao was no less generous, and gave a more generous dowry, giving his old coffin to his young disciple, and bluntly told him to take care of him in his old age.

The prince and his wife also sent a generous gift, as did officials at all levels. In short, Jian Yue became rich overnight.

Old Lady Xiang of Yan did not follow her eldest son to take office, but stayed in the capital, and let her eldest daughter-in-law serve her. The eldest daughter-in-law's family was an inspector and supported the prince's party, so she was not liquidated. Xiang shamelessly stayed in Shangjing and detained her daughter-in-law on the grounds of filial piety, hoping to get help from her in-laws.

Xiang originally wanted to repair her relationship with Jian Yue, but Jian Yue ignored her.

Yan Xiuyuan returned to Yanling Mansion with his two children. The Yan clan members were very cold to him. Yan Xiuyuan was flexible and did not give in. He found a job as an accountant and worked hard to raise his two children. He was originally good-looking and had been an official. His temperament and cultivation were higher than others. He soon found a rich widow and formed a new family.

When Jian Yue got married, he made a special trip to Shangjing and sent some jewelry worn by his ex-wife to the Princess's Mansion. Jian Yue did not see him because he handed the things to the doorman and left.

Yan Xiuyuan is a very utilitarian person, and he is also a self-aware person. He knows that he has caused great harm to Jian Yue and her daughter, and he will never be forgiven by his daughter in this life, so he does not go up to humiliate himself.

On the wedding day, the emperor named Ji Yunzhong the King of Freedom in front of all the guests. Because Ji Yunzhong had insisted on not having any fiefdom and wanted to rely on his wife to support himself, the imperial edict only gave him a considerable amount of gold, silver and jewelry as a reward.

Jian Yue and Ji Yunzhong both knew that people's hearts were fickle. Others did not know Ji Yunzhong's ability, but the crown prince, who was helped by Ji Yunzhong to secure his position as the crown prince, knew it clearly. Ji Yunzhong's move made it clear that he really had no intention of taking that position.

The prince was very touched and felt guilty. He knew that his fifth brother was avoiding suspicion to avoid any rift between the brothers in the future. He was a little afraid of Jian Yue's poison technique. But now he felt relieved. He patted his fifth brother's shoulder heavily, sighed deeply, and left.

Emperor Jingzhen was like an old man who stole oil. After the crown prince left, he quietly took his fifth son's hand and whispered: "My son, father will not let you suffer. Father has left you a fortune that you can't spend in several lifetimes, as well as a Qilin Guard. Father will make you a real free and easy king."

So, there is really no logic when a child is favored by his parents.

Ji Yunzhong accepted it with a bitter face, "reluctantly". He made a bold statement: "Father, when you get tired of staying in the palace one day, take mother to Tong County, and we will take care of you in your old age."

Emperor Jingzhen nodded repeatedly.

Brat! I've been waiting for you to say this!

Ginger is still spicy with age! Haha!

I am sober, Ji Yunqing...
