Chapter 690

The two little girls didn't dare to fight back, and they were beaten half to death by Mrs. Fang. Still annoyed at this, Mrs. Fang ordered the big maid next to her to go to the old bustard of the brothel, and she sent them directly to the brothel without asking for a penny. But there is a request, let them pick up customers, no less than five a day.

The man who dares to snatch her, go to death.

Xie Yunjin didn't know what happened to Zheng's family, so he took people all the way back to Ningzhou.

After arriving home, Lu Jiao was leaning on the bed and waiting for him. Seeing him come back, she breathed a sigh of relief, but soon smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "Didn't you go to deal with Xie Daqiang's murder case?" Is it? Why does it still smell like wine?"

Xie Yunjin told the story of Zheng Zhixing inviting him to the mansion for dinner. When Lu Jiao heard that Zheng Zhixing had given Xie Yunjin an aphrodisiac, she was annoyed and wanted to rush to Zheng's house to slap that man.

I don't do human affairs all day long, thinking about crooked things.

Seeing Lu Jiao frowning, Xie Yunjin hurried over to comfort her: "It's okay, I will be careful."

"There are only people who are thieves for a thousand days, but there are no people who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. It's not a good thing for Zheng Zhixing to keep staring at you. You have to find a way to get rid of him."

Xie Yunjin smiled, and there was a bit of evil in his eyebrows and eyes for no reason.

"I smeared a chronic medicine on his clothes, which is the kind of medicine you used before, which slowly makes people emotionally manic and then has a stroke."

After hearing Xie Yunjin's words, Lu Jiao finally stopped talking, then asked about Xie Daqiang's situation, and when she heard what happened to Xie Daqiang, she sneered and cursed, she deserved it, don't you know how much she weighs? Being calculated for no reason.

After talking for a while, the husband and wife stopped talking about this matter, and turned to the matter of cultivating rice.

Steward Xiao went to buy ten acres of land in a mountainous place outside Ningzhou today in his name. There are rice fields nearby, and their field is in the corner, so it won't attract attention.

Lu Jiao asked Xie Yunjin: "Autumn rice can be planted now. We plant it now, and we can harvest it before the year."

"Tomorrow we will go to the farm to plow the land. How about breeding?"

Lu Jiao thought that Xie Yunjin went to Qinghe County to do business today, instead of going to the government office, and leaving tomorrow, will the prefect Lin not cause trouble?

"Will Zhifu Lin look for trouble?"

"I'll find something for him to do, so he won't have time to stare at me."

After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, she added with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will ask Lao Hu to inspect the tea production area and the salt field."

In fact, he had known for a long time that there was something shady about the tea production area and the salt field, but he just kept moving. The prefect Lin thought they didn't know that the tea production area and the salt field had leaked out.

Tomorrow he pretended to go to the tea field and salt field with Lao Hu to investigate. If nothing else, the prefect of Lin would definitely prevent him from going there, and he would go there with Lao Hu.

Would he still have time to stare at him then?

Lu Jiao also wanted to understand this and laughed.

"I think you can use the matter of the production site and the salt field to bring down Zhifu Lin."

It will be much more convenient to act in the future.

Xie Yunjin nodded in agreement: "Well, I thought about taking it slowly before, but now it seems that I can't wait."

Next year, he plans to promote the cultivated rice seeds in Ningzhou. It must be very troublesome to have the prefect Lin, so he decided to get rid of the prefect this year, and then ask King Yan to find a way to recommend a prefect who doesn't like to be in charge, so that He can flex his muscles and do things.

Xie Yunjin didn't think about being the magistrate of Ningzhou. He had just been appointed as a sixth-rank co-prefect. He hadn't made any actual achievements, so it was impossible for him to be promoted to the magistrate.

Lu Jiao stopped talking, Xie Yunjin looked at her, and slowly leaned over to kiss her lips. Ever since Lu Jiao became pregnant, the husband and wife seldom did intimate things. The main reason was that Xie Yunjin was afraid of hurting the child, but they hadn't been intimate for a long time. , sometimes he just can't bear it.

"Jiaojiao, I'm careful."

Lu Jiao didn't object, men don't take concubines, so she had to come.

When he got up the next day, Xie Yunjin went to the government office to order some hair, and then he whispered to Mr. Hu that today the two of them would take some people to the Ningzhou tea production area and the salt field to see the situation.

Master Hu readily agreed, and the two ordered the soldiers in the government office to inspect the tea fields and salt fields in Ningzhou later. Tea and salt are obviously valuable things. Why is Ningzhou so poor even though there are tea fields and salt fields? Unreasonable.

As soon as Xie Yunjin and Mr. Hu made a move, the prefect Lin got the news and quickly brought people over.

"I heard that the two of you are going to inspect tea fields and salt fields?"

Master Hu didn't say a word, Xie Yunjin said: "Yes, there are tea fields and salt fields in Ningzhou. According to reason, they should be rich. Why are the people so poor? Besides, we have seen that the taxes on tea fields and salt fields are very low. According to the theory, tea and salt are the biggest sources of tax revenue for the imperial court. Ningzhou has tea fields and salt fields, so it should be a major taxpayer, but the situation is not like this now. Master Hu and I wonder if someone is cheating on the tea fields and salt fields. We concealed it from top to bottom, and made a deceitful thing, so we went to investigate and investigate."

Governor Lin was terrified when he heard that, if he asked them to visit the tea fields and salt fields, they would definitely find Duan Pan, and he would be in bad luck.

Prefect Lin thought about it and said quickly: "I just want to go over there to see the situation, Mr. Hu and I will go together, Mr. Xie will deal with the matter here in the government office."

Mr. Hu is a little confused, it's fine for him to take him there, but Xie Yunjin can't go there, he's too shrewd, he'll see it when he goes there.

Master Lin looked at Xie Yunjin while thinking.

Xie Yunjin's original purpose was to transfer Mr. Lin out so that he could go out to cultivate rice.

"Okay, then let Master Lin and Master Hu go and have a look. I just want to visit a nearby farm today to see what the soil in Ningzhou is suitable for planting."

The prefect Lin knew that Xie Yunjin and the others had helped the local people in Qinghe County to develop medicinal planting before. Hearing his words now, he thought that he was trying to find a way to help the people of Ningzhou get rich, so he let him go.

"Okay, okay, you go."

After Lin Zhifu finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Hu who was on the side: "Let's go."

The two of them went out after talking, Xie Yunjin took his men back home, and Lu Jiao took the four cubs to a place outside Ningzhou City with Steward Xiao.

This place is quite secluded, there are only a dozen or so families around, and they live scatteredly. Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao felt relieved after seeing it.

The two went to see the rice field bought by Steward Xiao, it was indeed a good field, and at this time there was still a batch of rice growing in the field, just in time for blooming.

However, the rice planted this way is very bad, sparse and short and yellow. Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao went up to watch and found that the flowering condition is very bad, and even if the grain filling condition is not very good later.

No wonder the yield per mu of rice is not high now, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao inspected it and ordered Steward Xiao.

"Find someone to pull out the rice seedlings in this field, plow the land, and replant autumn rice. You can find someone to keep an eye on the rice fields here. Remember to find someone you can trust."

Housekeeper Xiao knew the importance of this matter, and immediately accepted the order in a solemn voice.
