Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Song Mansion.

In the meeting hall.

The eight principals from each branch of the Song family gathered together again.

On the main seat, the head of the Song family raised his eyes and glanced at the eight people sitting below and said, "In the past two days, you all know what is going on outside."

"People from the Ministry of Revenue have already started measuring and counting the land in Lingnan."

"In just three days, seven aristocratic families and landowners were found guilty by Dongchang because they did not cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs in measuring and counting their land."

"Even some members of our Song family are no exception. This is the Minister of Household Affairs who is trying to scare the powerful families in Lingnan by killing chickens and monkeys. He is also trying to beat up my Song family!"

The head of the Song family said expressionlessly, but his tone was a little low.

In the past three days, the Song family knew everything about Xun Yu's actions.

The head of the Song family knew that Xun Yu was trying to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

If the Song family doesn't respond and doesn't cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Then, next, the Song family will not be as simple as some fringe figures being arrested.

"Hmph, even a newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs dares to attack our Song family."

“I really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.”

"I think we should use some means to make him quit before the difficulties."

One of the principals said with a cold snort.

"Yes! This is not the way to go."

"The land that Xun Yu currently measures and statistics starts from the common people and small landlords and small aristocratic families, and has not yet touched the aristocratic families above."

"If we wait two more days, the Minister of Household Affairs comes to our door in person and wants to measure the land of our Song family. Should our Song family refuse the visit or cooperate?"

Another person in charge said with a slight frown.

"It's not that easy to get him to give up."

"Ordinary means will not work."

"Don't forget, Cao Shaoqin, the second leader of Dongchang, is also with Xun Yu."

As soon as these words came out.

Several people present frowned involuntarily.

Dongchang, the hawk of the imperial court, is not easy to deal with.

I heard that Dongchang is all-pervasive.

The things that happened in the imperial court before had Dongchang's shadow behind them.

The most important thing is that Dongchang has the right to kill first and pay later, and the two governors are not easy people.

This Cao Shaoqin's strength is also unfathomable.

Ordinary methods really have no effect.

The head of the Song family on the throne pondered for a moment and said, "The imperial court wants to measure and make statistics of the world's land. This is unstoppable."

"Unless you are preparing to confront the imperial court and fight with each other."

"But this is not good for our Song family, and the other three families will not do this either."

"It is certain that we will cooperate with the imperial court, but how to cooperate is another matter."

The head of the Song family knows the situation at hand better than anyone else.

Since the man in the palace has decreed that the land of the world should be measured, he must have been prepared to suppress it.

At this time, it would be unwise not to cooperate with the court and to block the will of the one in the palace.

Even their alliance of four great clans cannot afford such consequences.

Therefore, it is inevitable to cooperate with the court.

But how to cooperate, that is, they are the members of the aristocratic families who have the final say.

"The clan leader means to cooperate with the household department?"

When the eight principals heard this, they all looked at the head of the Song family who was in charge.

"What? Do you have any other ideas?"

"Do we have to wait for people from Dongchang to come to the Song family and have a meeting with Dongchang before making a decision?"

The head of the Song family glanced at the eight principals below.

According to the way the Minister of Revenue has behaved in the past two days, he won't give the Song family much time.

If the Song family cannot make a decision as soon as possible, then Xun Yu's next visit to the Song family will not be as simple as a visit.

As soon as the head of the Song family finished speaking, the housekeeper of the Song family walked into the meeting hall with a anxious look on his face.

"Clan leader, Master Song Yan was just arrested by people from Dongchang."

"In addition to Young Master Song Yan, there are more than a dozen people in our Song family who were just arrested by the factory guards in the East Factory."

The butler said urgently.

What?

The head of the Song family and the eight heads of each branch of the Song family were obviously stunned.

None of them expected that Dongchang would arrest Song Yan and more than a dozen people from the Song family.

"What does Dongchang want to do?"

"What does Xun Yu want to do?"

"You actually dared to arrest the direct young master of my Song family, and also arrested more than a dozen people from the Song family. Could it be that he wanted to use force against my Song family?"

One of the principals said with an angry look.

"yes!"

"He Xunyu, a newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs, dares to be so unscrupulous towards my Song family. It is really unreasonable."

Several other principals of the Song family also had angry faces.

Before, the Song family members captured by Xun Yu were all marginal figures of the Song family.

Therefore, these people from the Song family remained silent.

But this time it was different. Song Yan was the direct young master of the Song family, and the other dozen or so people who were arrested were also important figures in the Song family.

Several of them are still relatively core figures in the Song family.

Dongchang's arrest of these Song family members was clearly a provocation to the Song family. This made the leaders of various branches of the Song family present unable to remain indifferent.

The head of the Song family on the throne frowned and asked, "Why did Dongchang arrest people like me in the Song family?"

There needs to be a reason to arrest people.

Even if Dongchang has privileges, it is no exception.

Especially those from the Song family who were captured.

If there is no sufficient reason, the head of the Song family believes that Xun Yu would not do such a stupid thing.

"Clan leader, Dongchang found out some ridiculous things that Young Master Song Yan had done before, so he arrested Young Master Song Yan."

"As for the dozen other people from the Song family who were arrested, the reason given by Dongchang is that if Dongchang says they are guilty, they are guilty."

The butler finished speaking.

Everyone in the Song family present here had livid faces.

Too rampant.

Dongchang dared to touch members of the Song family with just one word. This was simply extremely arrogant.

The patriarch of the Song family in the main seat also looked a little ugly.

He knew Dongchang was strong, but he didn't expect Dongchang to be so domineering.

Even a wealthy family like his Song family dared to arrest people with just one mouth. It was really unbearable for my uncle and aunt.

But then again, Dongchang itself has privileges. Even if he is so arrogant, the Song family cannot deal with it.

"It seems like they are trying to force and threaten my Song family."

The head of the Song family said with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Butler, go to Princess Pingyang and tell Princess Pingyang this news."

"Then, prepare a greeting card!"

The head of the Song family pondered for a moment and then said to the housekeeper.

"Yes, patriarch."

The butler immediately responded and left.

The eyes of the eight leaders of each branch of the Song family sitting below all flashed.

Princess Pingyang is the late emperor's sister and the next mistress of his Song family.

The most important thing is that Princess Pingyang is Song Yan's mother.

If Princess Pingyang learns that Song Yan has been arrested by people from Dongchang, she will definitely go to Xun Yu to ask for him.

These eight heads of each branch of the Song family all understood the intentions of the head of the Song family.

…

Government office.

Cao Shaoqin looked at Xun Yu and said, "Master Xun, this member of the Song family has been arrested. What's next?"

"Should we continue arresting them, or should we kill all those we arrested?"

Xun Yu shook his head; "Wait! Our purpose is to measure and count the land, not to deal with the Song family."

"Besides, Song Yan's status is extraordinary. He is the son of Princess Pingyang and should not be touched lightly."

"If nothing else happens, the Song family should have something to say this time."

Xun Yu just finished speaking.

A noise came in from outside.

Then, a woman in palace clothes walked in, surrounded by maids and guards.

Behind the woman in palace attire was the master of Lingnan Mansion.

I saw that the master of Lingnan Mansion was sweating profusely and his face was a little pale at this time.

"Your Majesty Xunyu has met Princess Pingyang."

"Cao Shaoqin has met Princess Pingyang."

Seeing the woman in palace clothes walking in, Xun Yu and Cao Shaoqin immediately stepped forward to salute.

That's right.

The woman in palace attire who walked in was none other than Princess Pingyang, the late emperor's sister and Song Yan's mother.

"Forget it!"

"I cannot afford this great gift from you two."

"You even dare to arrest my son, but you don't take me seriously at all!"

Princess Pingyang glanced at Xun Yu and Cao Shaoqin and said coldly.

When Xun Yu and Cao Shaoqin heard this, their eyes flickered.

It seems that the Song family has played a good card by asking Princess Pingyang to come to investigate.

However, Xun Yu had already expected this.

"Your Royal Highness, I am only ordered to measure and count the land, and I don't care about other things."

Xun Yu said with a push of six, two and five.

Xun Yu's words made Princess Pingyang and the master of Lingnan Mansion flash a look of surprise on their faces.

They didn't expect that Xun Yu would keep this matter away from him, which was a bit strange.

Could it be that Xun Yu and Dongchang don't get along and can't pee in a gourd?

However, Cao Shaoqin's expression was not strange at all.

"Yeah?"

Princess Pingyang took a deep look at Xun Yu, and then looked at Cao Shaoqin: "What do you mean, Cao Shaoqin, it was you who captured Song Yan?"

"I don't care why you arrested Song Yan, he is my son."

"He may indeed do some ridiculous things, but since he is a son of the Song family, he is also half a member of the royal family."

"I hope you can let him go. I will take him back and discipline him well."

As a princess in the royal family, Princess Pingyang is not a brainless person who only relies on her status to be domineering.

Therefore, although Princess Pingyang's tone was sharp, her wording was just right.

"Your Highness, please forgive the Za family for being unable to obey."

"Your Highness the Princess must be very clear about what Song Yan has done, so there is no need for the Za family to produce those incriminating evidences."

"If he were not a son of the Song family or the son of the princess, it would be enough for him to die ten times."

"Princess, please don't embarrass the Za family."

Cao Shaoqin said without saying a word or sadly.

"presumptuous."

"Cao Shaoqin, you are a slave, but you dare to disobey me."

"I have made things difficult for you today. Let my son go immediately."

"Otherwise, I will be rude to you."

Originally, Princess Pingyang wanted to make peace with Cao Shaoqin and take Song Yan away.

But Princess Pingyang didn't expect that Cao Shaoqin didn't buy her fault at all and dared to talk to her princess like this.

This is really unreasonable.

Even if Song Yan commits another serious crime, he is still the son of Princess Pingyang, and it is not the turn of a royal servant to make irresponsible remarks.

Princess Pingyang's face suddenly turned cold.

Others were worried about Dongchang, but she, Princess Pingyang, didn't care.

After all, she, Princess Pingyang, was the late emperor's sister. Even his majesty in the palace had to call her aunt when he saw her.

Not to mention the domestic slaves of the royal family like Dongchang.

"Her Highness the Princess seems to have forgotten that even if the Za family are servants, they are still His Majesty's servants."

"Behead first and report later. The imperial power has granted permission. This is the right of the Zajia family and the right of Dongchang."

"There are not hundreds, but dozens, of the royal family members who died at the hands of the Za family."

"If the Miscellaneous Family says that the Song family privately made jade seals and sewed dragon robes, and that they were capable of reaching heaven and annihilating the entire Song family, that would be within their privileges."

"What does Princess Pingyang think?"

Cao Shaoqin looked at Princess Pingyang softly.

Perhaps other eunuchs would be groveling in front of the princess, but he, Cao Shaoqin, would not.

Everyone in Dongchang doesn't.

Because Dongchang has always been loyal to only one person, and that is His Majesty, not the royal family.

After hearing Cao Shaoqin's words, Princess Pingyang's expression changed.

"you……"

Princess Pingyang pointed at Cao Shaoqin, her face full of anger and she couldn't say a word.

Princess Pingyang never expected that Cao Shaoqin would be so bold that even she, the princess, would not take him seriously.

He even dared to say things like framing the Song family.

It's really extremely arrogant.

The master of the Lingnan Mansion next to him was already pale at this time. He was shocked and frightened.

It's just that the reputation is not as good as the reality.

This Dongchang is so arrogant that even the princess dares to offend him, which is really unbelievable.

"You, Dongchang, are treasonous and extremely arrogant. You don't take me seriously and don't say anything, and you dare to openly frame you. I must tell your majesty and punish your crimes."

Princess Pingyang pointed at Cao Shaoqin and said angrily.

Cao Shaoqin's expression remained unchanged; "Your Highness, please come back first!"

"If you want Dongchang to release Song Yan, Your Highness the Princess should ask the patriarch of the Song family to do it!"

"Your Highness the Princess can take what the Za family just said to the patriarch of the Song family."

"He should be able to feel something."

Cao Shaoqin bowed and said.

Princess Pingyang looked at Cao Shaoqin coldly.

After a while.

"Walk."

Princess Pingyang turned and left without saying another word.

Watching Princess Pingyang leave, Cao Shaoqin glanced at Xun Yu; "How is it?"

"This Princess Pingyang is no ordinary person!"

"Although he was angry, he still maintained his sense and did not let others take action."

"If we make a move, it will not end well."

Xun Yu looked at the direction Princess Pingyang left and said.

Just now, Xun Yu was really worried that Princess Pingyang would get carried away and let someone take action.

If that were the case, it would not end well.

"A princess who comes from the royal family and is married to the powerful Song family is definitely not an ordinary person."

"However, Mr. Xun, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you still use the Zajia family to stand up to Princess Pingyang on your behalf. Mr. Xun, won't you give the Zajia an explanation?"

Cao Shaoqin looked at Xun Yu, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Your Dongchang has special privileges, but I don't."

"I think Eunuch Cao should understand what I mean."

Xun Yu glanced at Cao Shaoqin with a smile.

Cao Shaoqin snorted coldly; "Humph, let us Dongchang charge into the battle, and you can sit back and reap the results. Mr. Xun is really good at planning."

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "This is wrong. Your Majesty asked your Dongchang to assist me. Isn't it just to use your Dongchang's privileges?"

"Besides, we are all working for His Majesty. As long as the result is the same, the process is not important."

Xun Yu said knowledgeably and returned to the lobby.
