Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao's expression was still a little tight, but when facing Qin Yining, his expression slowed down involuntarily, and he first sighed and admitted: "I was indeed so angry that I was so impulsive."

Qin Yining sighed with understanding. No matter who he was, he solved a problem with his hands in the field he was best at. Afterwards, he realized that he was hit by someone deliberately. This is the same for anyone. Kind of humiliation.

Qin Yining stood behind him, wrapped his arms around the back of the chair around his neck, and pressed his face to his side.

"I understand. This time it is obvious that you have been deliberately calculated and unintentional. These people are likely to have set up a set before knowing that we are about to come to the old capital. We first arrived in the old capital and were just busy thinking about how to stand. When you stabilize your heels, you have to get into the trap."

Qin Yining's voice was as soft as water, and it rang in her ears, and Pang Xiao's body and mind were relaxed as a result, and she couldn't help turning her head to kiss the corner of her mouth gently.

Qin Yining smiled and let him move, and then said: "This four-way number can't say that there is someone behind it, otherwise why did they plan to target us early? In the old capital, who is the person who hates us the most, the answer is no longer said. It's a metaphor."

"Wei Chiyan doesn't have such great abilities. I suspect that these are Gu Shixiong's handwriting. It is worthy of being an old emperor teacher of the elders of the three dynasties, and the methods remain the same.

Pang Xiao said with emotion: "If Yu Chiyan didn't have Gu Shixiong by his side, he would have rested his mind and quietly be a rich idler, letting the sage raise him, and he would stay in the cage to study calligraphy and painting."

"That is actually not necessarily a bad thing for him." Qin Yining was also a little emotional.

Although her relationship with Yu Chiyan was not close, she even convicted Yu Chiyan for refusing to marry.But at any rate, Yu Chiyan is a person of upright character, tens of millions of times stronger than his dazed father. He has people in his heart, a family and a country, but his ability is insufficient, and he does not have the ability to be a king of a country. Shang is not a bad person.

But now, he has embarked on the road of fighting for power. As early as when he was persuaded by Gu Shixiong to leave his wives and concubines to search for treasures, he was no longer the former caring for the people, who failed only because of powerlessness, and was worthy of sympathy. Up.

Qin Yining said: "Yu Chiyan is certain about us. Since the Stone can follow Yu Chiyan's instructions to do this trap, we should also let them hand in a repair."

"Cross repair?" Pang Xiao looked back at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining leaned close to Pang Xiao's ear and whispered his way.

Pang Xiao's face gradually smiled, and finally she lightly scratched her straight nose.

"You little villain. That's why you stopped me just now?"

"Yes."

"The shopkeeper Liu is still very grateful to you. If he knows that he will be scammed, he can't cry again."

Qin Yining smiled embarrassedly.

"If I have to, I don’t want to do it. This method is actually a bit disgraceful. But it doesn’t make sense for people to harm us, so we can’t fight back. Is it moral that they harm others? It’s not moral at this time. At that time, I was not a kind-hearted person. No one hit me on the left cheek, and I had to smile and stretch out my right cheek."

Seeing her very angry, Pang Xiao couldn't help but smiled and patted her shoulders comfortingly. As soon as she stretched out her long arms, she put her arms around the back of the chair and sat on her lap, with her arms in front of her. , Go and peck her forehead first.

"You don't need to feel sorry, because you did nothing wrong. If it weren't for you to stay calm, I might have missed the best opportunity to fight back."

With that said, Pang Xiao felt more and more that he was fortunate to have such a smart and capable helper.

"Sister Yi, why are you so good?" Pang Xiao's low voice confided in Qin Yining's ear, "I am pleased with you, and I am more and more pleased with you."

His sound like a piano sound and warm breathing are right in his ears. Qin Yining is surrounded by him and the whole body is full of refreshing breath he is familiar with, and the whole heart is soft and about to melt.

Blushing and leaning against Pang Xiao’s arms, simply burying her face in his quiet nest, Qin Yining’s heart was unprecedentedly peaceful and peaceful, as if no matter what happened now, as long as Pang Xiao was with her, she would not Scared.

Pang Xiao followed Qin Yining's method and immediately ordered people to go to the city to promote it.Tomorrow afternoon, on the big square outside the porridge factory, Prince Zhongshun has something important to tell everyone.

Although the ordinary people in the old capital were not all poor enough to go to the porridge shed to eat, the influence of the refugees was still very large. Qin Yining asked Lu Dehan to continue to open the porridge shed to serve porridge since the beginning of the new year. Help these people who are struggling to survive the harsh winter.Although these people come to receive the porridge regularly every day, they still have to go home when they return.

They lived in various places in the city, and neighbors in the neighborhood heard many kind words from the prince of loyalty from the refugees.

Some people even talked about how Prince Zhongshun turned the tide, punished trespasses, and killed the wicked Gao Wenyao into a wonderful book while kowtow.

So when the news that Prince Zhongshun was going to spread the word in the square of the porridge factory, many people were curious and decided to see what was going on.

And Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong naturally got news here.

"My lord, this time the surname Pang is not sure what moth he is going to make again. As usual, he should be burnt out now."

Yu Chiyan put her hands on the drawing table, looked down at a picture of a beautiful woman on the paper that hadn't described her facial features in detail, raised her head when she heard that, and smiled: "It's strange that he is not in a hurry. A famine fell from the sky, where did he go Come out? And the consequences of not being able to get the money this time are very serious. The rough guys in the army are not friendly. When it is time to pay, who will follow him? Send troops and change. It's all possible."

Gu Shixiong also laughed when he heard the words, "This time we finally got back a city. Don't let the surname Pang Na Shapi continue to be proud."

Yu Chiyan carefully flattened the drawing paper with a mahogany paperweight, and said with a smile: "Ming'er is going to see what the hell is going to do with the surname Pang."

Yu Chiyan did not believe that Pang Xiao had the ability to resolve such a big crisis.If a few words with the people can make money, would he still be so embarrassed back then?

At the same time, the study in the Outer Courtyard of Yang Mansion.

Zhifu Yang sat sideways on the official hat chair near the window, with a ridiculous smile on his face, and said playfully: "I wonder what Pang Zhixi is going to do this time."

Qiu Feishan sat elegantly in the main seat, took the hot tea served by the maid, smiled and warmed her hands with a blue and white tureen, without saying much.

Upon seeing this, Zhifu Yang shut his mouth, put away the contempt and contempt he had just now, and said sternly: "Let's go and see tomorrow."

Qiu Feishan nodded and said with a chuckle: "After the last time, I was really curious about what he would do. Moreover, I saw Princess Zhongshun at the last banquet... She is really a beautiful and intelligent woman."

Zhifu Yang remembered the princess she saw yesterday that looked like a beautiful flower and nodded in agreement. He then smiled and said: "Girl Qiu is also better than her. The beautiful flowers are eye-catching, but they are better than Hongmei. Less vigorous."

Qiu Feishan just laughed at this flattery.

Qiu Feishan had heard more of her legend for that beautiful woman with a pair of very clear eyes, and she had already meant to make friends.It's just... now it seems that the position between them is not easy to become friends.

At midday the next day, the people who heard the news gathered in the square in front of the porridge factory.In addition, Yang Zhifu, Yu Chiyan and the local gentry had already booked a private room on the second floor of a nearby tea house and tavern, waiting to see with their own eyes what Prince Zhongshun was going to do in such a big battle.

Qin Yining did not go to the private room, but was surrounded by Jinghuwei and the silver-faced spies, and waited on the corner of the street in a carriage.

Pang Xiao walked to the middle of the clearing in a python robe, dressed in a sable velvet cloak, and went straight to the topic: "My fellow villagers. Today, the king called everyone here, there is one thing to tell everyone."

Such an approachable tone makes ordinary people very useful.

And his usual words, so that the people who don't know a few words can understand easily.

Pang Xiao said: "Everyone knows that this king came here to lead the post of Grand Marshal Pingnan this time. He is also the first time he came here, and he has just begun to understand everything here. Just yesterday, this king actually learned a shocking news. "

He paused here deliberately to arouse everyone's curiosity. Even Yu Chiyan, Yang Zhifu and others sitting in the box were curiously holding their breath.

Pang Xiao said: "The king only learned yesterday that the Ping Nan Army actually owed a foreign debt of three million taels of silver!"

When this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Some people never thought that Pang Xiao would say such things, such as Yu Chiyan.Some people were surprised to observe Pang Xiao's look afterwards with great interest, such as Yang Zhifu.

The common people even fried the pot.

What is the concept of three million taels of silver?They flat-headed people, perhaps they will never see thirty taels of silver together in their entire lives!Three million taels, that's how much they can't imagine.

This is an amazing amount of money for trees!

Everyone talked about why the Ping Nan Army owed so much debt!

Pang Xiao said loudly again: "Presumably, everyone wants to know what happened? When we first entered the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Sage considered that the people were suffering too much, so they avoided it. Ten years of local taxation. Everyone knows this.

"As for the Pingnan Army, these 100,000 soldiers must be stationed here in order to defend their homeland. The big guys also know that the Tartar in the north is not honest, that is, when we are talking here, the north is fighting. Well. The Lord is now focusing on thinking that the people in the north will not be bullied by the tartars, so he can only order the Ping Nan army to raise their own military salaries locally. However, there is no tax, where do the salaries come from?"

Pang Xiao stretched out his hands, "At this time, Stone took the initiative to stand up and borrowed 300,000 taels of silver to solve the problem of military payment for the Ping Southern Army!"
