Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Hearing this, Xiang Yuan hurriedly stood up and looked over the Yanliang River.

Sure enough, not far from the middle of the river, a two-decker cargo ship was slowly driving.Seven or eight boatmen on one side were chanting and shaking their rolls in unison.

"It can be regarded as showing up again."

Xiang Yuan stared at the draft of the big ship, turned his head and told Niu Er: "Tell the people below to find a way to find out what is being transported no matter what happens this time."

Niu Er solemnly nodded and went down to arrange not to mention it.

Li Qiqian has been silent since just now. After Xiang Yuan finished making arrangements, he opened his mouth and said, "Did you also notice this ship?"

Xiang Yuan glanced at Li Qiqian and nodded. "I know that you are also secretly inquiring, but it's hard to say what's going on here. You're alone here, so it's best not to interfere."

Li Qiqian was unwilling, he understood Xiang Yuan's unspecified hint.A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. After all, he is the prince of Daliang, with thousands of expectations.

It's just that, how could he bear to watch these officials eat a vegetarian meal, take bribes and pervert the law, bully their superiors and others, and bully others with their power.

The students on the balcony next door were still talking and laughing from time to time.Zhao Shen walked quickly to the terrace, threw a teacup out of his hands, and sneered loudly: "Where is a group of flies, chattering like a gossip!"

While inside, Xiang Yuan heard the laughter from the next door stop abruptly, and then fell into a bewildered silence.

When Zhao Shen saw that the group of students who were talking behind their backs were restrained as soon as he made a move, he immediately felt refreshed.He came in with his head slightly raised, and glanced at Xiang Yuan triumphantly.

Xiang Yuan immediately handed over a cup of tea like a dog's leg, imitating the waiter in the teahouse theater, flatteringly said: "Daughter-in-law is mighty, awesome!"

Zhao Shen: I spit out a mouthful of tea.

Li Qiqian also choked on a sip of tea, stunned: I never thought you were such a Mr. Xiang, it really overturned his inherent impression.

But unexpectedly, Li Qiqian actually felt that Xiang Yuan like this was more suitable for the look he was secretly expecting in his heart, without putting on airs, not being serious and old-fashioned, well, he really likes to get along with such people.

The door next door opened, and footsteps could be heard one after another. Xiang Yuan and the others heard that several people stopped at their door for a while, as if they wanted to knock on the door and come in to find out, but for some reason, they all slipped away in the end.

After a while, Xiaoer knocked on the door cautiously and came in to refill the tea, with the corner of his eyes flicking back and forth.

"Someone outside asked you about our news?"

Xiang Yuan opened his mouth suddenly, and the little boy was taken aback.Hastily bowed and considered, and said: "I'm not going to lie to the guest officer, I'm indeed looking for a small one to inquire about it, but we have strict rules in Yibailou, and never leak any information about the guest officer privately, so I didn't dare to reveal a word of the small one. Hehe, Seeing that they couldn't find anything, those students gave up their hearts."

Li Qiqian snorted coldly, and the little boy bowed even lower.To do things in Yibailou, one must have good eyesight.Several people in this room, judging from their demeanor, are all extraordinary.Xiaoer thought to himself that these people were either descendants of aristocratic families or officials. He was a small restaurant waiter, so he lowered his posture so as not to be used as a punching bag.

Xiang Yuan rewarded Xiaoer with a dime and sent him out, turned to Zhao Shen and said, "You go back first, I'll go to Song Da to have a look at that boat."

Zhao Shen didn't force himself to stay, he didn't dare to gamble because of his special situation, but he was very worried about what Xiang Yuan was going to do.

"Now that you are suspended from your duties, don't be impulsive before doing anything."

Xiang Yuan gently helped him straighten the corner of his robe, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I know." Afterwards, he turned to Li Qiqian and asked, "Xiao Gan will go back with you."

Li Qiqian handed the sleeping Xiang Dazhuang to Mo Shu, stood up, brushed off his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said, "No, I'll follow you."

Xiang Yuan got a headache when he saw him pretending to be an adult.

Xiongzi is smart and doesn't listen to persuasion. The most annoying thing is that he is not his own, so he can't be beaten or scolded.

"Okay, but it's agreed in advance, stay with me, and you can't act without my permission."

Li Qiqian opened his mouth suddenly, and then immediately forced it to close, pretending to be calm, and nodded reservedly. "I'll just follow and have a look, I won't run around."

He ordered someone to send Zhao Shen back to the governor's yamen (the imperial decree did not say that the yamen would be taken back, so Xiang Yuan and the others still lived here), and Xiang Yuan took Li Qiqian to the port on the west side of the Yanliang River in a donkey cart.

Song Da called someone to send the message back, that the ship was parked at the sea port, and it seemed that it was waiting to be transported to the sea ship and taken away.It's just that there were so many people on board, they couldn't find out what kind of cargo was loaded for a while.

On the way there, Li Qiqian asked Xiang Yuan how to solve the rumors.

"If you let it go like this, within a month, huh, your reputation among students will be completely rotten. Scholars, especially those in the three prefectures, all have broken mouths, and they have to chew on every little thing. When Taizu proclaimed himself emperor, they often talked about it."

Xiang Yuan glanced at him, and said: "The former dynasty was unkind, and Taizu set up a great leader. That is a great merit. The literati said a few words, but it was just a mouthful. I still respect Taizu very much in my heart."

Li Qiqian curled his lips: "Don't bluff me, I know what they are talking about. The Taizu came from a mud-legged family, and those students came from a family, and they looked down on him half-eyed. At the beginning, Taizu founded Daliang with all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but he was going to be killed by the family. As a result, until now, those people are still displaying the genealogy of the Li family against our royal family, trying to point fingers at the government, hum." Li Qiqian flicked the little horsewhip in his hand, and said proudly: "One day, I will make them all Bow your head and listen, and don’t dare to be disrespectful. There are also these corrupt officials, don’t want to be so carefree again.”

Xiang Yuan had a toothache, the bear child had a good idea, but it was a bit too extreme.As the supreme person in power in the future, the most important thing is not to listen to one side and believe in one side, and to be too radical in words and deeds.Strange, didn't those great Confucians in the capital who taught the prince to read didn't find out about the prince's problem?

"Don't talk about this, spoil the fun. Tell me about your business, you haven't said what you plan to do?"

Emotions come and go quickly.

Xiang Yuan looked ahead and threw out a word: "Wait"

"Wait?" Li Qiqian was dumbfounded, "What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, the day lily will be cold!" As he spoke, he looked him up and down in disgust, and said irritably, "Now your position as governor has been suspended, He doesn't have any power in his hands, so why don't you hurry up and think of a way to change your image, and when you are really recognized as a brazen villain, you can just wait to go home to plant the land and eat porridge."

"Hahahaha" Xiang Yuan laughed loudly, he found that sometimes bear children are actually quite painful.

Li Qiqian's handsome face flushed suddenly by Xiang Yuan's smile, and he became angry from embarrassment: "What are you laughing at! Could it be that Gu is wrong?!"

Well, claiming to have popped up, it seems that I really can't hold back my face.

Xiang Yuan patted Li Qiqian, and explained to him with a suppressed smile: "Stay still. At this time, I jumped out and said that what they said was all false. I am not that kind of person. Do you think others will?" Should I believe it right away, or should I make a big fuss about it again?"

Seeing that Li Qiqian was thinking, Xiang Yuan continued to teach him: "This level of splashing of sewage is so shocking that you can't explain it to the outside world one by one, and there is a saying that 'the more you describe, the darker you are'. I was already targeted by someone, and if I accidentally blurt out something, it is very likely that someone will take advantage of it again, and the gain will not be worth the loss. Simply ignore this matter and find another way to reverse the situation. "

Li Qiqian blinked: "What method do you think of to reverse it?"

"If you want to suppress this incident and continue to spread, then create another event that is more topical than it to divert people's attention."

"Oh..." Li Qiqian chuckled, "For example, Gao Minxing, the chief envoy of the local government, privately intercepted officials, and hooked up with Jiangnan King Qing, plotting something wrong?"

Xiang Yuan couldn't help but pat him: "It seems that you really found out a lot of things!"

"Hmph, I have long been displeased with Uncle Qing. Every time I go to the palace, I always act like a nice guy. It's very annoying!"

Xiang Yuan looked at the sea port gradually appearing in front of him, and murmured: "However, King Qing's reputation among officials in the south of the Yangtze River is very good." After speaking, looking at Li Qiqian, Xiang Yuan added another sentence: " Everyone knows that King Daoqing loves literature and ink, likes to make friends with literati and scholars, and often pays homage to virtuous and corporals, which is quite like the ancient sage kings."

"Pretentious! Before going to the fiefdom, the servants killed in his house could fill the entire Yanliang River!"

Xiang Yuan heard his exaggeration and did not refute.He didn't have a good impression of King Qing either. He had heard too many rumors, all of which were praises and praises.Moreover, this person who likes to make friends with literati and corporals always makes him involuntarily think of many examples of inconsistency in history, which really doesn't make him feel good.

"My lord, the boat stops there. I asked someone to pretend to be a bean curd salesman to go up and explore the bottom first."

As soon as the donkey cart stopped, Niu Er came forward and reported the situation in a low voice.

Xiang Yuan and the others stood at the corner of the port, watching the ship unobtrusively.It was only a quarter of noon at this time, and the boatmen who had been busy all morning stopped their work and began to eat.

"Brother-in-law, is there something going on recently?"

On the boat, a man in a bunt with his trousers rolled up came to the foreman, asking mysteriously.

The foreman glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Why do you ask so many people? Do the work if you are told to do it, and just take a rest if you don't work!"

"Hey, I know if you don't tell me. But it's really unnecessary for me to tell you. We've been here for a few years. When did something happen?"

The foreman was annoyed, raised his eyes, and shouted: "You dare to talk about the things above, you are impatient, right? Nothing happened, nothing happened, if something happened, our family would have to go to jail ! You still think it's pretty, don't you? You bastard!"

After being scolded all over his face, the boatman blushed and shut his mouth reluctantly.Cursed secretly in my heart: What are you so proud of!If it weren't for seeing you as my brother-in-law, I would have punched you in the face!Pooh!I don't know how nervous I am. After so many years, nothing serious happened, so I asked them to tighten their skins and wait on them every now and then.When I earn enough money, I won't be so angry anymore!

He took a bite of coarse-grain pancakes and looked up to see someone selling tofu brains. The man hurriedly stopped the shopkeeper, took out a copper coin, and said loudly, "Give me a bowl too, and add more spicy peppers."

Li Qiqian looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, and said: "It's too late, it's too slow. Don't wait for us to find out something, and they will take the cargo away."

Xiang Yuan looked at him vigilantly: "It was agreed in advance, you are not allowed to act without authorization."

Li Qiqian rolled his eyes, said haha, pointed to the steaming place selling wonton siu mai, and said, "I'm hungry, go eat a bowl of wonton."

Seeing that he was really walking towards the roadside vendor, Xiang Yuan felt a little worried, and motioned Niu Er to follow.

"Follow me, don't tell Young Master Qian to run around by himself."

Alas, knowing that there are people who secretly protect the prince around him, he has to pretend not to know, and even divide up the few people he has.

He thought it would be safe to ask Niu Er to watch, but what Xiang Yuan didn't expect was that Li Qiqian sent Niu Er to line up to buy Shaomai as soon as he turned around, and he sneaked away by himself!

Smoke was coming out of Xiang Yuan's head, this brat, what a worry!

Just as he was about to call all his followers back to look for the prince, he heard someone shouting at the port: "It's not good, it's a flood!"
