"Alas, Tiangao is far away from the emperor, and close to the border. It's under the jurisdiction of ningzhou Prefecture. The magistrate of ningzhou Prefecture is also fascinated by a beautiful concubine. How can he manage the affairs of Lan City. The only people who suffer from these officials' misdeeds are the common people. Fortunately, Lord Nawei only harms the rich. As long as he doesn't raise taxes, it's none of our common people's business for him to collect money. "

"That's true. Besides, it's the business of the imperial court not to raise taxes. He's not a government official."

White crane dye listens to these words, the head in the heart feels thoughtful.

What kind of beauty can fascinate two prefects like this? It seems that the two adults had concubines for almost the same time, more than three months ago. After they had concubines, would it be a coincidence that one opened the door of the country and the other made a lot of money? Is there any connection between the two?

She subconsciously looked into the cabin. The lady was the sister of LAN Cheng Fu Yin. It was said that she was going to visit relatives in LAN Cheng. Would she know about this?

People are still talking, silent language began to ask: "Lord Wei concubine with the wife's gift, the wife is still there?"? How can you swallow that breath? "

Some people who knew about this sighed again and again, "Zheng's wife has been angry to death. It wasn't long before the concubine came in. Zheng's wife died. It is said that Lord Wei still wants to straighten my concubine, but the old lady in their family doesn't agree. That's all

Bai Helian remembered that he had heard about LAN Cheng before, and he had seen it in ancient books.

There is no Yama hall in Lan City, not only in Lan City, but also in ningzhou Prefecture.

In fact, Lan City is not under the jurisdiction of Ning Prefecture, it belongs to Shu Prefecture. But because of this long river, and because Lancheng was the last place to enter the sea, a large dock was set up. Because this dock became a harbor, the economy and trade of Lancheng was prosperous, and the vision of Lancheng people was broadened.

The status of Lan City has been improved day by day, and it finally broke away from its original jurisdiction decades ago. Previous local officials once proposed that Lan Cheng should be promoted to Lanzhou Prefecture, which should stand side by side with Shuzhou Prefecture, but the imperial court did not agree. However, although he didn't agree, he also set up a magistrate for Lancheng, which means that he and Shuzhou are equal in actual status.

After Tianhe emperor ascended the throne, he didn't want Lan City to be too special, but he couldn't take back what he had given away. So he came up with a strategy, he let Lancheng independent from Shuzhou government, the magistrate or the magistrate, the government yamen, everything is set up according to the state government, but it must be managed by ningzhou government. Whether you agree or not, this is the decision of the imperial court.

It's complicated to say. In fact, to put it bluntly, Lancheng does not belong to any Prefecture in the administrative region. It is independent, but it has to listen to the governor of ningzhou.

Can LAN Cheng agree? It doesn't agree and has to agree, because the arm can't twist the thigh. Ningzhou Prefecture is a giant. Once upon a time, Lancheng dared to disobey Shuzhou Prefecture, and local officials of Lancheng dared to challenge Shuzhou Prefecture magistrate, but he never dared to offend ningzhou Prefecture magistrate. Because that is a cruel man, never used to disease, you talk nonsense with me, I smoke you.

It's because it's under the control of ningzhou government that yanwang hall is not set up in Lancheng. Of course, it's not because ningzhou government already has yanwang hall. On the contrary, ningzhou government doesn't either. Yanwang hall is extinct in this place.

This is not a normal phenomenon. Since the ninth Prince founded the palace of the king of hell, the branch halls of the palace of the king of hell have spread all over the eastern Qin Dynasty, but they have not been set up in ningzhou. Even though ningzhou Prefecture is close to Gebu and luoye, the palace of hell has never interfered.

It sounds strange. Of course, there must be a reason.

The reason is that Master Kang xuewenkang, the magistrate of Naning Prefecture, is the younger brother-in-law of an elder brother who died early.

In those years, the emperor Tianhe was framed by his brothers several times, and the most critical one was saved by his brother's help.

His elder brother was ill in the womb and had been weak since he was born. Therefore, he was absolutely predestined to the throne, and he did not fall into a dispute. He loves Junli very much, so he can help as much as he can. In that crisis, Tianhe emperor helped his elder brother to avoid death. His wife, Kang Xuewen's elder sister, who is now the magistrate of ningzhou, lost her life in that incident, as well as her child.

The emperor elder brother is weak. It took him more than ten years to conceive the baby. She was about to give birth in another four months, but she didn't expect that because she helped you to block the disaster, she was stabbed and killed.

The emperor Tianhe was full of guilt, and his brother died of depression in less than a year.

There was no way to repay his kindness until his sister-in-law's brother, Jinbang high school. He was so happy that he pointed out that ningzhou government gave Kang Xuewen, making Kang Xuewen a feudal official. And in the years of the establishment and expansion of the palace of hell, he also warned the ninth Prince not to extend his hand to ningzhou Prefecture, but to give Kang Xuewen absolute trust.Over the years, Kang Xuewen has been doing a good job. He not only managed ningzhou Prefecture in a stable and orderly way, but also never had a big dispute with Gebu and luoye. Moreover, he paid taxes on time every year. He strictly abided by the laws and regulations of the eastern Qin Dynasty. Not to mention the emperor Tianhe, even though he secretly investigated in the palace of hell, he failed to find out Kang Xuewen's big problem. At most, I would drink flower wine once in a while, and then I would be greedy for small fortune once in a while.

But this is also harmless, greedy money did not greedy enough to pay attention to the amount of the palace of hell. For the border officials, this is not bad. They should not be too demanding in order to avoid the extreme.

For many years, there has never been a demon in ningzhou Prefecture. Tianhe emperor sometimes sighed that he had chosen the right way to repay his kindness, and Kang Xuewen was trustworthy.

But I didn't expect that such a thing happened now. Kang Xuewen opened Tongcheng without telling the court, and had such close contact with Gebu. What on earth is this for? Is it not that Kang Xuewen also wants to fight back?

Bai He ran Xin thought that he would have to talk to Jun Mu Lin about these words for a while. That guy is lame and sleeps in the room all day. He sleeps in the daytime and at night, but he has made up for all the sleep he had when he led the soldiers to the army a few years ago.

It's getting dark, the wind is cooler and the waves are bigger. After a while, the boatman came to call them to go back to the house. It was windy at night. No one could stand on the deck.

People were still talking, but they had to go back to their rooms. Bai henran, supported by murmur, also went to the cabin. While she was walking, someone said to her, "sister, if you don't hurry to go home when you get off the ship from LAN Cheng, you can stay in LAN Cheng for a few days. Maybe you can catch up with Lord Wei and hold a banquet. When the time comes, the rich people will go to Weifu with a lot of traffic, but it will be very busy! "

Bai hecan answered vaguely and walked in without stopping. Because she lived in the closest room except the lady, so when she came to the door, there was no one behind her. It was Pingzi, the boatman, who was standing in front of the lady's door. He kept knocking on the door. While knocking, he muttered, "where have all the people gone? Not on deck? Why didn't anyone answer? I can't go to bed so early! "

As soon as he looked back, he saw Bai hecan and Mo Yu coming back. He said with a smile, "madam, you are back! It's almost LAN Cheng. The river will have big waves when it's going to enter the sea, so madam, you'd better stay early and late! If the boat shakes badly at night, don't worry. Our boss has been sailing for more than 20 years, and he has rich experience

Bai henran also smiles at him, then points to the lady's room and asks him, "why, no one?"

Pingzi nodded, "it seems that there is no one. I've been knocking for a long time and no one has opened the door. But I just went to the deck, and the people in this room didn't go to the deck! I don't know where they are

White crane dye said: "maybe I went to someone else's room to talk, or maybe the boat was shaking so badly that they all fell asleep. It's possible. Brother, do you want to send charcoal fire? " She looked at the Silver Charcoal in Pingzi's hand and said, "if you just send charcoal, don't open the door if you don't open it. Anyway, if they need to add charcoal, they will take the initiative to call you. After all, no one is stupid, cold also don't know to charcoal. I'm also kind enough to say that if there's nothing important, you don't have to knock it down all the time. Otherwise, when people in other rooms hear the news, they will be scolded and scolded. It's not worth it. "

She said it sincerely, and Pingzi thought it was reasonable, so he nodded to her, said thanks, and then looked at the room that baihecan had opened. He couldn't bear it and wanted to pass the Silver Charcoal in his hand forward, but he didn't give up after all.

"Madam is kind-hearted. Pingzi knows that it must be very cold in the room. Pingzi also knows that, but this charcoal is silver charcoal. It's too expensive for me to be the master, so..." he looks embarrassed. "If madam doesn't dislike it, I'll give you some broken charcoal later."

Bai hecan waved his hand with a smile, "no, I'm not a delicate person. My family is not as rich as the lady of Yuanwai. It's a common thing to be frozen. I've been used to it for a long time. You don't have to worry about me. I'm a little dizzy now. I want to have a rest early. Tomorrow morning, please send us some hot water, and tomorrow's breakfast will have to be bought on board. We really don't have any dry food As she said, she took out a few pieces of silver from her sleeve pocket, counted them, left a small piece for herself, and gave the rest to Pingzi, "just give us as much food as you can buy. I really don't have any money."

Ping Zi nodded, "don't worry, madam. The silver is enough to hold the boat in LAN Cheng. I'll pick it up for you tomorrow morning. I don't need to worry about the dinner in the evening and later. I'll send it to you."

Pingzi left happily. Baihecan looked back at him for a while. Until he couldn't see him, he tightened his eyebrows tightly.

There is something wrong with Mrs. Yuanwai's room. She smells blood and poison along the crack of the doo
