The vicious villain is always playing the puppy

Gu Cangming was not in a hurry to express his opinion, Su Qing thought that he was going to say a few words to stop Tang Anyang, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so indifferent.

After thinking about it secretly, Su Qing finally failed to calm down like Gu Cangming, and said: "These villagers have misunderstood the policy of the imperial court. In my opinion, uncle should not be in a hurry to arrest people, and we should clarify the situation first. I heard that the imperial court subsidizes five taels of silver per mu of land, but only a few tens of pennies fall on their heads, so it is understandable for them not to be convinced."

Tang Anyang couldn't hold back, so he took a secret look at Gu Cangming, and it happened that Gu Cangming said "Oh" with great interest, Tang Anyang was unavoidably a little uneasy, and he hurriedly lowered his head when Gu Cangming looked over.

"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense. These unscrupulous people refuse to obey the imperial court's arrangements. They are full of dirty words. They are really hateful. All the money allocated by the imperial court has been distributed to them, and they still refuse to admit it. This is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's go back to the city first and discuss later." Tang Anyang said.

Although this part of the plot has not been discussed in detail in the play and the original work, Su Qing knows that things are by no means as simple as Tang Anyang said, and there is definitely something tricky in it.

Su Qing looked at Gu Cangming, seeing the refined and indifferent expression on his face, Su Qing couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "What does His Highness King Chu think?"

Seeing his provocative expression, Gu Cangming couldn't help feeling a little funny, and said, "Since both parties are here, it's better for us to negotiate here."

Tang Anyang had no choice but to stay here with them and confront the villagers.Tang Anyang sent someone to find the village chief, who was a middle-aged man with thinning hair, and he was obsequious when he met Gu Cangming and others.

Tang Anyang said: "How is the money distributed to your village by the government distributed?"

The village head said: "My lord, I will subsidize each family with five taels of silver per mu of land."

Su Qing was a little puzzled, Gu Cangming asked: "Then why do you still fight against the government?"

The village head hesitated for a moment and said: "Farmland is our foundation. Now everyone has planted rice. If there is no land, we will not be able to survive. Some households have only one or two acres of land. , Five taels of silver per mu is really not enough to support family expenses. I have persuaded them several times, but they refused to listen to the persuasion, so they gathered together to discuss with the officials."

"Absurd! They are simply greedy! Five taels of silver per mu is just a subsidy. You can earn more money by planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, which is far more cost-effective than growing rice. Are you afraid this is someone with a heart trying to find an excuse for the rebellion?" Tang Anyang said angrily.

"This..." The village head hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The little ones don't know anything, and the little ones have persuaded them several times..."

"As the village head, do you want to cover it up with a sentence of ignorance? Then you, the village head, are a bit dereliction of duty!" Su Qing sarcastically said.

When the village chief heard what Su Qing said, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said: "The grass people will go and find out, but there is no one in my hands, they don't take me seriously, I beg Mr. Tang to keep some officials to help me .”

"This matter will be investigated by the king himself." Gu Cangming said without any waves, and this matter is regarded as a press for the time being.

Back in the city, Tang Anyang said to Su Qing again: "Qing'er, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has something important to do, and it's not good for you to trouble His Highness the King of Chu if you follow him. It's better to move to my uncle's house. My uncle also has one year's time." I haven't seen you, and I want to catch up with you."

Gu Cangming's eyes darkened slightly, "Mr. Su and this king even make friends, there is no trouble, Mr. Tang is very polite."

Su Qing felt a little more at ease when he heard this, but he also had his own considerations, so he said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for treating me as a friend, and my uncle's words are also reasonable. How about this, I still have some things to pack, and I will move tomorrow." Go to stay at uncle's house for a few days."

Tang Anyang nodded slightly, "The uncle will send someone to help you move things tomorrow. Qing'er is young and vigorous, please take care of His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Then Gu Cangming and Su Qing went back to the post house, it was not too late, Gu Cangming didn't go out again, and walked side by side in the courtyard with Su Qing.Su Qing had other things to think about, and didn't care about Gu Cangming who was following him.

"Qing'er has something on his mind?" Gu Cangming asked lightly.

He called Qing'er more and more smoothly. After Su Qing corrected him several times, he refused to change his words. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, so Su Qing didn't care about it. He just said: "I'm just curious that His Highness the King of Chu has been there recently. What are you busy with, and what do you think of today's events in Majia Village."

"Are you concerned about this king?"

Gu Cangming's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of anticipation. Su Qing originally wanted to deny it, but when he met the other's eyes, he didn't say anything. In the end, he just looked away bored.

Gu Cangming smiled nicely, and continued: "The situation here in Qingzhou is complicated, you shouldn't get involved in this struggle, this king knows it well, but there are some things that even if you catch the opponent's handle, it may not be possible. What can you do to the other party."

After he finished speaking, the smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by another rare depth and dignity.

"Then how did the matter in Majia Village end?" Su Qing asked again.

"State-owned state law, Majiacun is in the rectification list issued by the imperial court, even if they don't want to, it is their fault for openly rebelling with the imperial officers and soldiers. I will investigate carefully whether the imperial court's subsidy and silver are really in place. Food is the survival of the people The land in this area of ​​Qingzhou is fertile and is the most suitable place to grow rice, and I will try my best to protect some of the fertile land.”

When it comes to this topic, the atmosphere has become a lot more serious.

Su Qing found that Gu Cangming was not as Su as in the original drama. The real Gu Cangming was very manly, calm and principled, and would not favor the villagers of Majia Village just because they were weak.This point is very different from the characters in the original play, but this kind of Gu Cangming has a sense of reality, not just a great saint.

"You are going to move to Mr. Tang's residence tomorrow, so why not have a drink with me tonight."

Su Qing didn't know how much she could drink now, but seeing Gu Cangming's sincere and harmless face, she still didn't refuse in the end.

The lights in the room were flickering, Gu Cangming held the jade wine glass in his hand and looked at the person sitting across from him leisurely, with some unpredictable emotions hidden deep in his eyes.Su Qing was a little dizzy, Yaoyao, who had been silent for a whole day, kept chanting in his mind, and he didn't seem to hear the specifics of what he was chanting.

Su Qing in the original play is a person who never gets drunk after a thousand cups, but he didn't expect that he didn't inherit the other party's awesome physique at all, instead he poured three cups as usual.Su Qing tried his best to keep himself calm. He couldn't drink any more, or he would be embarrassed.

"Why doesn't Qing'er drink anymore? Drunk?"

I don't know if it's because he was drunk, but Gu Cangming's voice sounds very charming to him at the moment, like a seductive... demon, but he doesn't have any demonic aura in his body, on the contrary, he looks very charming. upright.

"I can't drink enough, I'm afraid of making a fool of myself." Su Qing frowned, her black jade-like eyes were stained with alcohol, and looked a little blurred.

Gu Cangming poured a glass for him, and said leisurely: "There is no need to have so many taboos between you and me, I will not laugh at you. I have known you for so long, and I have never had a toast with you. It is rare to steal a drink tonight." Leisure, the night is so beautiful, you shouldn't let down the beauty of this good day."

Today is the middle of the month, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the night wind is also carrying some warmth. The watery moonlight pouring into the room through the open windows is really beautiful.

"It's my king's good fortune to be able to make friends with Qing'er in this life. You will go to Mr. Tang's house tomorrow, and I still feel a little bit reluctant. Mr. Tang is your own uncle, and I have no right to stop it, but if you have If you need anything, you can come to me." Gu Cangming raised his glass and looked at Su Qing.

When he said this, his eyes were deep, but with a kind of tenderness that was too thick to melt away.Su Qing couldn't bear his eyes like this the most, picked up the cup to touch him, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Are you interested in me?" Su Qing suddenly asked the question that he wanted to ask the most and troubled him the most.

Gu Cangming laughed suddenly, his handsome eyebrows and eyes slowly stretched, his thin and sexy lips moved: "Isn't Qing'er interested in this king?"
