Hearing this, Mu Qinxue only felt that the world in front of her was as beautiful as thousands of flowers blooming.
"Really?"
Mu Qinxue looked at Liang Xiao coyly, and when she saw him nodding, she immediately threw herself into his arms.
Liang Xiao held her in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.
This girl's skin is breakable, like a pampered daughter, but her bones are quite strong.
"Then when did you fall in love with her..." Mu Qinxue asked anxiously.
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "When I smelled the sweetness of honey in the medicine bottle and found you pretending to be faint, I was thinking, this girl is really interesting."
Mu Qinxue blushed with embarrassment and muttered: "So early? Then why didn't you expose her earlier..."
Liang Xiao looked calm.
"I like being passive!"
Mu Qinxue was stunned, raised her head, looked at him, her eyes were filled with resentment, and her red lips were printed on his lips.
"Okay, okay, you like to be passive, right?"
Looking at Liang Xiao who looked satisfied, Mu Qinxue hummed again: "Have you already given your first kiss to that little vixen~"
"It's for Yun Xiu." Liang Xiao reported truthfully.
Mu Qinxue raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Then your first kiss today is mine~"
"First kiss today?" Liang Xiao watched her hide in his arms again with a smile. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her, and he kissed her on the forehead again.
In the yard, Liang Xiao held Mu Qinxue in his arms and recited poems for her at her request.
After a long while, Mu Qinxue said again: "Gongsun Yue, that little vixen, doesn't have a good heart at first sight. If she doesn't harm us, Da Zhou, I can barely accept her as your concubine!"
Liang Xiao warned: "Actually, she came here for Xue'er."
Mu Qinxue was doubtful and solemnly said: "I will protect Xue'er!"
Gongsun Yue returned to the inn with red eyes and stamped her feet in anger.
"When did I, the young lady, feel so wronged that I actually want to make fun of myself here, pretending to be jealous of others..."
The more Gongsun Yue thought about it, the angrier he became, but soon he felt inexplicably lost.
I don't know since when, whenever she sees a girl flirting with him, she feels unhappy.
"I want him to bow down under my pomegranate skirt! I want to prove that I am better than that manly woman!"
Each of the 8,000 households in Lanling received an average of 2,500 cash.
Lanling is relatively poor compared to the capital city, with not many industries. The monthly income of ordinary workers is only about 800 cash.
After the arrival of the Lanling Marquis Mansion, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and the Gongsun Family Chamber of Commerce, they first built bridges and roads in the Lanling area, leading directly to the official road.
Coupled with the paper industry, restaurants, wineries and various related industries, as well as the official mining and exploration he proposed, it is enough to provide employment opportunities for the people in Lanling and surrounding areas.
Because most people still mainly work in agriculture.
Liang Xiao himself cannot stay in Lanling for a long time, and naturally cannot copy the high-paying and confidential model of Tangfang and Canghai Yueming, but Lanling's future is bright and prosperity is just around the corner.
While Liang Xiao was laying out his plans in Lanling, the capital was already turbulent.
Tuoba Jie himself has been taken to the Capital Criminal Department for conviction, and the Tuoba family cannot find anyone who can pretend to be his.
"Tuoba Jun hasn't come back yet? This proves that Tuoba has been planning for a long time and is just waiting for an opportunity."
Zhuge Hui had a complicated expression after reading the roster provided by the Ministry of Punishment.
Tuoba Jun is the young man he fears the most in the entire Tuoba family. This man knows how to hide his power and bide his time better than other children from aristocratic families.
Once upon a time, Zhuge Hui was worried day and night that this son would take advantage of him and Marquis Ding to come in a hundred years later.
In the past, he wished that Tuoba Jun would collaborate with the enemy and treason, rather than seize the power of the country in the future.
If he were not worried about the impact, he would even consider leaving behind a legacy plan to execute Tuoba Jun in the future to avoid future troubles.
But now that Liang Xiao is here, the advantages of letting Tuoba Jun stay in the capital for the rest of his life outweigh the disadvantages. Zhuge Hui believes that Liang Xiao has a way to deal with this person.
The Minister of Criminal Affairs said helplessly: "Prime Minister, we really can't find Tuoba Jun. After all, this person did not show up a few days before the incident. After the incident, Tuoba Lie only said that he went to travel abroad to understand the public sentiment. The reason Just in time. We have urged the Tuoba family to call him back to the capital, but according to the Prime Minister's judgment, he will not come back unless the matter is thunderous and rainy, allowing the Tuoba family to safely escape this disaster."
Zhuge Hui had no choice but to give up: "That's it. By the way, send someone to pay attention to the northern border area. This guy may have been lurking in the northern border, drawing for Beihu, so we have to be on guard!"
In the palace hall, a group of ministers of the Tuoba clan, headed by Tuoba Lie, knelt under the stage and begged for mercy.
"I failed to discipline the dog properly, causing the dog to misbehave. I am willing to be punished!"
Duan Yunyi looked at the dozen or so Tuoba ministers in the audience and was about to speak when Duanmujie took the lead.
"Your Majesty, the Tuoba family has been favored by the emperor and has been loyal to their duties. How can the entire family of loyal ministers be imprisoned because of one person's fault? The fault of this matter lies with Tuoba Jie alone, and the entire Tuoba family should not be implicated!"
"I second the proposal!"
Duanmu Cao and others came out one after another, accounting for nearly half of the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Now that things have happened, do you still think that this matter should be reduced to a major issue? The big Sunday newspaper has already exposed this matter, and the people are furious! If I can't give an explanation to the people, how can I stop everyone from talking about it?"
Duanmu Cao and others only felt their scalps numb.
Unusually, hundreds of thousands of copies of the last two issues of the Sunday newspaper were printed, and the notice was not only distributed throughout the capital, but also shipped to surrounding towns. While spreading the word, it also added that the Tuoba clan usually advocates peace talks with Beihu.
The Tuoba family's ancestral home was surrounded by angry people. If the Yulin Army hadn't come forward, there's no telling what would have happened.
Duan Yunyi's attitude made it clear that he was here to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan, but it was not easy to assign a serious crime for the time being.
Yanyun's eighteen cavalry were too brave. Only eighteen of them defeated a thousand rebels, so there were no casualties in the convoy.
At this moment, these aristocratic families were actually lucky that there were no casualties in Liang Xiao’s convoy!
If someone really died at the hands of the cult rebels, and the big Sunday newspapers were appropriately sensationalized, they could not imagine what would happen to the people.
Zhuge Hui winked at Yang Ling, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Yang Ling understood and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think the Tuoba family will confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, as long as they know how to be responsible."
"What Yang Shangshu said is absolutely true!" Everyone agreed.
Tuoba Lie looked at Yang Ling with a little more gratitude.
Yang Ling added: "However, this is not a trivial matter. If the Tuoba family can't show enough sincerity to prove themselves, even if my emperor wants to forgive, he really can't quell the people's anger. Tuoba Shangshu, the treasury is currently empty, so I will make up for it. Great opportunity..."
After saying that, Yang Ling did not forget to let out a long sigh, looking heartbroken.
Tuoba Lie, who was sweating profusely, had already expected this, and nodded: "I am willing to donate part of my family property to serve as treasury silver, and ask my emperor to commute my sentence!"
Duan Yunyi then spoke: "Tuoba Lie, this is a serious crime of committing rebellion, and it can't be solved with just a small amount of money."
Tuoba Lie was about to cry but had no tears, so he sighed: "Your Majesty, please tell us the number!"
Duan Yunyi looked calm and said: "Then make a small donation of four million taels of silver."
