He raised his head and looked at Xiao Ge eagerly: "Your Majesty, why don't you talk to Mr. Kumu and ask him to persuade Miss Zhao to lower the price?"

Xiao Ge didn't want to face Mr. Kumu. That old man was not easy to talk to.

"How about you just go and tell Miss Zhao no? If not, go to Suiping's residence and tell him." He frowned.

"Well, I have to say this, what's the difference between forcing someone's little girl? Can we do such a shameless thing? Your Majesty, you don't know, that child is pitiful..."

He spoke affectionately about what Zhao Ruxi told Kang Shilin, Wu Zong and others that "because he was poor, he used charcoal to draw" and "because he was poor, he went to work for the Silver House to draw jewelry pictures".

Said it once.

When Xiao Ge heard this, he felt deep sympathy: "Wei Qiu didn't teach his daughter well, so this little girl suffered."

"So, can we open our mouth and ask the little girl to lower the price? It's hard to say that such a big Jin Dynasty takes advantage of the little girl. When the time comes, it will be you, the emperor, who will be impeached by the censor.

So we can't go directly to Miss Zhao and Uncle Suiping, we can only go to Mr. Kumu. Mr. Kumu is Miss Zhao's master, and he agreed, no matter who it is, they can't say that we bully the little girl."

Xiao Ge now had a headache.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to Mr. Kang." He had to compromise.

Compared to the stinky and tough censor, Mr. Kang is better. At least if you give him some benefits, he can reason with you.

Only then did Zhang Changshen say goodbye with satisfaction.

Not only did he give eye drops to Pingnan Hou Mansion, but he also sold a lot of favors to Mr. Kumu and his disciples. Well, the sky today is really blue, the autumn air is crisp, and the best thing is the word "shuang"!

Xiao Ge sent someone to find Kang Shilin, and the guard came back soon: "Your Majesty, Mr. Kumu is not in the capital, but in Beining. It will take some time to inform him to come back."

"Then call Fu Yunkai first," Xiao Ge said.

Originally, he didn't have to deal with Kang Shilin. It was all the fault of Pingnan Hou Mansion. While waiting for the old gentleman, he first called Fu Yunkai over and gave him a scolding.

Fu Yunkai was chatting in the second prince's courtyard. He was a little confused when he heard the emperor's call. However, he did not dare to discuss it with Xiao Lingpu and Xiao Lingyan, so he quickly followed the imperial guards.

"Your family is short of money?" Xiao Ge asked as soon as he saw Fu Yunkai.

Fu Yunkai was even more confused. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, my father has a salary from the court, and my family also has land and a house as a reward from Your Majesty. My life is very stable."

"Do you have any objections to the land I rewarded?" Xiao Ge asked again.

Fu Yunkai's mind was racing and he wanted to know the reason for the emperor's attack. After thinking about it, he thought of what he had mentioned about Fu Yunlang going to Dali Temple to buy a farm and a house, and his expression suddenly changed.

"I don't, I don't dare." He knelt down and said loudly.

"Then why did you ask your brother to go to Dali Temple to force Mr. Zhang to sell your farm? Is Dali Temple a place where he can make decisions? Do I lack food or clothing for your Pingnan Hou Mansion?

?”

Fu Yunkai sweatdropped.

"Your Majesty also knows that the situation at the border is unstable. If there is a war, the fields under the Fu family's name may not be harvested. I heard that there was a farm for sale in Dali Temple, so I asked Yunlang to ask. I just thought there was a farm in the capital.

, mother will feel more at ease, and has no other intentions."

Fu Yunkai was not very old, but he had been traveling between the border and the capital since he was fourteen years old. He was often summoned by Xiao Ge to inquire about the war, and he was very experienced in dealing with the imperial front.

He knew that once Xiao Ge was angry, he hated others who would shirk responsibility and find excuses to excuse themselves. If you can be frank and speak out some selfish thoughts in your heart, you can gain his forgiveness.

"It is probably that my second brother Yun Lang was ignorant and clashed with Mr. Zhang verbally. Although my brother is naughty, he would never dare to disrespect Mr. Zhang or point fingers at Dali Temple.

, please ask your Majesty to take a closer look."

"In addition, if my brother is ignorant and forcefully buys a farm that a certain gentleman wants to buy, I will definitely let him go back and ask him to apologize to that gentleman in person."

Xiao Ge also knew that Zhang Changshen, a cunning old man, spoke with a certain amount of water. Maybe it was Fu Yunlang, a young boy who didn't know how to speak and do things, which made him unhappy, so he took the opportunity to run in front of him and apply eye drops to the Fu family.

Civil servants and military generals have never had time to calm down. Now that the border is unstable, it is impossible for him to punish the Fu family, but just give him a few words of reprimand.

"Your brother is fifteen this year, right? I remember that you went to the battlefield to kill the enemy when you were fourteen. Tell your mother, just tell me what I said. Drowning a child is like killing a child. You should also let your brother take on his own responsibility.

, don’t spend the whole day entertaining cats and dogs instead of doing serious business.”

Fu Yunkai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely tell my mother."

"Go and deal with this matter properly. Don't let anyone gossip about your Pingnan Marquis Mansion, let alone let people say that I treated you badly and forced you to have no money to eat. Next time I go back to Dali Temple, there will be farm sales.

, I asked Zhang Changshen to keep it for you."

Fu Yunkai started to sweat again: "I don't dare. Your Majesty's rule is prosperous, and it is not common for Dali Temple to sell the land and houses of criminal officials. If I want a farm, I can just ask the middleman. I don't dare to trouble your Majesty and

Master Zhang."

In addition to major cases, the most important cases handled by Dali Temple are those of court officials. And what is sold is often only the property of the guilty officials. If the emperor's words are spread, the ministers in the court will all think that they are waiting for everyone in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

Something happened, so he covets the land and house in their name? The Pingnan Marquis Mansion cannot afford to bear this crime.

Seeing Fu Yunkai like this, Xiao Ge felt less angry and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'll just talk casually. Okay, let's go."

Fu Yunkai then kowtowed and retreated.

After walking out of the hall, Fu Yunkai realized that the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat. He looked at the raised eaves and let out a breath.

"Where is the second young master? Send someone to look for him and go home." Fu Yunkai rubbed his brows tiredly as soon as he got on the carriage.

He felt that he was more tired at home than at the border. He was tired!

"Yes." The entourage agreed, quickly mounted his horse, and headed towards Pingnan Hou's Mansion. He would go back to the manor to inquire about it first, and if not, he would go elsewhere.

In fact, after Fu Yunlang came back from Dali Temple, he stayed at home and did not go out. His only move was to send someone to inquire about Zhao Ruxi and Kang Shilin.

He couldn't understand why Zhao Ruxi got related to Kang Shilin and Wu Zong and became Wu Zong's junior sister?

When Fu Yunkai's entourage came to look for him, Fu Yunlang heard the news from the servant: "...it is said that Miss Zhao painted a portrait that looked particularly like a real person, which was Mr. Kumu's portrait. In the end, Mr. Kumu loved him so much.
