The cool breeze swept across the water, blowing the heat of midsummer without a trace. Frog sounds come one after another, and the melodious sound of flutes sing in the deep valleys of the empty mountains and valleys. The clear water after the rain is clear and clear, and the sky above my head is blue, as if all the dust and sorrow are washed away by the sudden heavy rain just now.

The Biquan Pond is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by green shade. The cool spring water flows continuously from the mountains into the Tan, making the Biquan Pond look like spring all year round, which is a great place to escape the summer heat, but Li Ming never had time to come here to cool off. Since Zhang Yao came here a few days ago, he fell in love with it. He enjoyed the scenery here and blew it in the daytime.

Lin Long has been away for three days. Although he used all the eyeliners in Linjiazhuang to search, there is still no news. This made Li Ming unable to let go for a long time and has been frowning these days. Today, after dealing with the research on the newly developed black tea in the tea farm, Zhang Yaoqiang was pulled to Biquan Pond to enjoy the empty mountain rain scene.

Li Ming lay in the pavilion in the clear water tan, closing his eyes slightly, feeling Zhang Yao's crying and resentful flute in his ears, and enjoying the rare comfort in midsummer. At this moment, his heart was clear, and all his worries and sorrows seemed to be thrown out of the sky. This long-lost feeling actually made him think of being born.

A burst of rapid footsteps broke Li Ming's dream. He reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at him, and saw Chen Hao hurried towards the pavilion.

Li Ming stood up and stretched his body. Reality returned to his heart. He smiled helplessly and walked over to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao rushed to Li Ming, bowed and said, "Master, Prince Kang has come to the island in person. The villain arranged him in Zhulin Pavilion. Now President Situ is accompanying him there. Please go as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Li Ming was very surprised. What did he do? Could it be that he was urging himself to ask for the glass? But there was no need to come in person? Could something happened?

"Didn't the prince say what's going on?" Li Ming asked while following Chen Hao out.

"I didn't say it, but looking at his appearance, I seemed very angry, and we didn't dare to ask." Chen Hao replied respectfully.

Li Ming immediately frowned. Logically speaking, he had a very good relationship with King Kang. Although King Kang was mediocre, he was still relatively open-minded and easy-going. Besides, he still wanted to do something for him, and he had cured his chronic disease. There was no big deal, so he would not make things difficult for him. But after Chen Hao said this, it seemed that the matter was very serious.

Li Ming did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly followed Chen Hao to feel the tranquility in the bamboo forest pavilion. King Kang was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face drinking Longjing tea, and there were several officials from Jiangzhou Prefecture sitting next to him. Situ Yan was sitting by the side with a helpless face, and the pavilion was filled with a dull atmosphere.

Seeing Li Ming coming in, Situ was relieved and hurriedly stood up to greet him. Li Ming and Situ Yan exchanged glances, and Situ Yan showed a helpless expression on his face and shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Li Ming had to bite the bullet and greet King Kang.

After the two sides sat down, Li Ming bowed and accused him: "It's a good time for the prince to wait for a long time. If you have any problems, please send someone to inform Li Ming. Li Ming should go there in person. How dare you work for the prince's noble body to come in person? If you have any problems, please give me instructions. As long as Li Ming can do his best to serve the prince."

King Kang glanced at Li Ming, snorted coldly in his nose, and said with an unhappy face: "Li Ming, do you know the purpose of this king coming today?"

Li Ming hurriedly smiled and stood up and said, "Li Ming really doesn't know if he asks the prince to atone for his sins!" But looking at the prince's expression, Li Ming also knew that Li Ming had done something wrong. Li Ming was a rough man in the mountains and fields, and he didn't know anything. If there is anything wrong, please ask the prince to instruct him." Speaking of this, he approached King Kang and lowered his voice and continued, "Caomin's tea farm has recently developed a new tea, which has its own unique advantages. Another day, Caomin personally sent it to the prince's mansion to ask the prince to comment, and asked the prince not to refuse. In addition, Caomin has selected a few top-quality pieces from the crystals mined, and will be carved into tools and sent to the prince's mansion in the near future."

King Kang's face cleared a little, and he said with a hint of a nose: "Li Ming, I gave you Biquan Island to thank you for curing my headache. This is a good thing, but what you have done recently has been extraordinary. Don't you know yet?"

Li Ming hurriedly said, "Please forgive Li Ming for being stupid, Li Ming really doesn't know! Li Ming has just developed two mines and hasn't done anything?"

"I'm still quibbling!" Linbin Prefect Sun Song angrily rebuked: "The prince is magnanimous and comes to correct your mistakes in person, but you're here to argue. Can't the prince really punish you, the god of medicine?"

Li Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, Caomin is given all this by the prince. How dare Caomin quibble to the prince? Caomin really doesn't know what he did wrong, so he sincerely asked the prince for advice!"

King Kang waved his hand, stopped Sun Song's words, and said to Li Ming: "I also believe you don't know. Maybe it was done by your subordinates, but no matter what, you must stop the migration of nearby people immediately! Jiangzhou is the granary of the imperial court, and it is necessary to pay a large amount of grain to the imperial court every year. You move the nearby farmers to your island and let those wealthy families find people to work? This is not a small matter. Although Linbin has a large population, once this gap is opened, a large number of tenants will leave their original owners and come to the island. With the size of Biquan Island, it is enough to move more than half of the tenants near Linbin, which will inevitably cause artificial

The cost has soared. What should you ask me to collect food? I didn't set up a grain rent for Biquan Island. With Linbin's wealth, there is no need to cultivate it on Biquan Island. Is it not enough to give you two mines to support these people on your island? Do you still have to reclaim land on the island? Why do you want so much food? Don't people have doubts? If this is spread to the court, it would be strange if you don't immediately punish your ill-telling! At that time, not only will I not be able to protect you, but you will also implicate me! Li Ming, I came here in person because of my friendship with you. If someone else had arrested me long ago. I hope you don't let me make things difficult for you." After saying that, I was already full of anger and panting.

After hearing what King Kang said, Li Ming was shocked and sweating all over. He only considered the development of the island and only wanted to realize his ideals, but did not take political factors into consideration, the system of this society, and the darkness of the officialdom. In this era, it is okay to not develop the economy or develop technology, but he cannot be unfaithful to the court. The most taboo thing in this era is to rebel. If someone really went to the court to falsely accuse him of intention to rebel, then the emperor would rather kill a thousand people in such a thing than let him go. At that time, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he was the one who died once, but the people who followed him on the island suffered. He didn't think about himself, but he had to consider these people! Especially Zhang Yao, who left his hometown and followed him here, if something happened, he would be unforgivable.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed to King Kang and apologized: "Caomin knew he was wrong. Caomin thanked the prince for his kindness and came to correct Caomin's mistakes. Caomin immediately stopped his current behavior and corrected the current mistakes. He also hoped that the prince would be magnanimous, forgive Caomin's ignorance, and forgive Caomin's guilt."

After hearing this, King Kang's face subsided with anger, he nodded and said, "Just be able to recognize what you did. Li Ming, I like you very much, not only because you cured my illness, but also because I like your personality and your mind to benefit the people. Therefore, I don't want anything to happen to you. Well, since you have decided to stop absorbing nearby tenant farmers, I will not care about the past, but I hope you can learn it as a warning and don't happen to similar things in the future."

Li Ming hurriedly bowed to King Kang and said gratefully: "After listening to the prince's heartfelt words, Li Ming was so grateful. Please rest assured that this will never happen again in the future. By the way, the blind shrimp in Biquan Pond is thin and soft, with white and clean color, full meat, tender and fresh meat. Now is the best season to eat. The deliciousness of blind shrimp is the most suitable for eating. The prince must have not tasted it for a long time. There are also big crabs and big white fish in the lake, which can be eaten. So please invite the prince and all to go to Biquan Pond. The grass people want to hold a banquet there, and also invite the prince and all to enjoy the scenery. Everyone eats river food in Biquan Pond, drinks and smells the fragrance, and relax quietly here. You are doing everything every day and working for the people. You should take a rest."

King Kang nodded and smiled, "Okay, it's rare that you have a lot of thought. Since the matter has been dealt with, let's relax. Haha, the blind shrimps in Biquan Pond are unique to Biquan Island and cannot be eaten elsewhere. Alas, after I gave you Biquan Island, I have never eaten them again. Let's go."

Li Ming let out a long breath, wiped his cold sweat secretly, and hurriedly asked everyone to go to Biquantan while immediately arranging the servants to prepare meals.

When Zhang Yao saw Li Ming and everyone coming to the pavilion, she hurriedly got up and stood aside to welcome him. When King Kang saw Zhang Yao, his tiny eyes immediately shot out a greedy gaze, staring at Zhang Yao tightly and scanning up and down. Looking at King Kang's gaze, Zhang Yao was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she was at a loss. Looking at Li Ming, she didn't know what to say.

Li Ming was stunned when he saw this scene and couldn't help but curse himself careless. Although King Kang was pretty good, he was only compared with other princes. In fact, he was still a greedy lustful person. Now that he saw Zhang Yao's appearance, if he had any unreasonable thoughts, all his efforts would be in vain. He definitely couldn't let Zhang Yao get into the mouth. In the end, when there was no way, he had to take Zhang Yao away, but everyone on the island, his ideals, and everyone's expectations were all wasted.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly rushed over Zhang Yao and said, "Yao'er, I haven't seen the prince and all the adults yet."

Zhang Yao blushed and bowed Yingyingly. Li Ming said to King Kang again: "Prince, this is my inner son. I don't know the list. Please forgive me."

A hint of disappointment immediately surged on King Kang's face, and his greedy eyes glanced at Zhang Yao fiercely, and then he reluctantly sat in his seat.

Li Ming hurriedly signaled Zhang Yao to leave quickly. Zhang Yao nodded understandingly, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the pavilion. King Kang's disappointed and greedy gaze moved with Zhang Yao's back until Zhang Yao walked out of the Biquan Pond and disappeared into the woods, and he returned his eyes and silently pondered.

Li Ming hurriedly broke the embarrassing situation in front of him and said to King Kang: "Prince, when Cao Min arrived at the palace that day, he saw that the prince loved the crystal bead curtain in his room very much, so Cao Min specially selected a good crystal to make a picture, and it will be completed soon. Another day, Cao Min personally sent it to the palace to the prince."

King Kang came to his senses, looked at Li Ming and answered dysfunctionally, "Li Ming, was that your inner person just now? I don't look like this. She is obviously dressed as a girl, how can she say she is your inner person? She doesn't walk like this!"

Li Ming hurriedly replied: "The prince doesn't know anything. My friend has lived in the mountains and forests since he was a child. We were childhood sweethearts. It was my master who led the marriage for us. She didn't understand the rules of the world. She made the prince laugh."

King Kang laughed dryly and said, "Li Ming, I really envy you. I have such a blessed person but I have little time. Alas! Why don't I have such a blessing? Take her with me next time when I arrive at the palace. I ask the princess to accept her as her goddaughter. What do you think?"

Li Ming cursed in his heart, but he had to pretend to be a smile on his face and said, "Li Mingdao thanked the prince for his thanks to the princess. I am afraid that the princess will be unhappy if he doesn't know any rules."

King Kang smiled and waved his hand and said, "You are too worried. The princess is not that kind of person. Don't worry, just do what I said. This matter is decided. Because I am in poor health since childhood, I have no descendants yet. The princess must be very happy to see her. Okay, let's not talk about this, bring the blind shrimps up soon, I will have a great treat."

After seeing off King Kang and his party, the sun was about to set, and Li Ming walked towards the villa in depressed mood. Today's events were completely beyond Li Ming's expectations. The original good development plan was broken in half. What bothered him even more was that King Kang seemed to have bad intentions towards Yao'er. Although he was usually good to him, this did not rule out his ambition for Yao'er. Of course, he could not lose Yao'er, but it was not advisable to have a quarrel with King Kang at present, which would have no benefit to him, but he had no idea how to solve this problem. It seemed that he could only discuss it with the master and the Holy Hand King.

While considering, footsteps sounded behind him, and at the same time, Marin's voice came: "Master, the villain has something to report."

Li Ming turned around and looked at Malin and nodded. Malin hurriedly said, "Master, the villain has been interrogating Man'er for three days according to the master's method."

"Oh!" Li Ming then reacted and asked with concern: "How is it? Did you ask anything? Is she okay?"

Malin said helplessly: "Master, please forgive me. The villain is too incompetent. Although the six of us interrogated for three days day and night, there was still no result. Man'er never spoke, just sat with his eyes straight."

"Oh?" Thinking of Man'er's helpless eyes and delicate body, Li Ming couldn't help but feel heartbroken and sighed, "Hey! I might really blame her. You should go back and stop interrogation soon, go to the medical school to find someone to show her, prescribe some medicine for her to take care of, and then send a few people to serve her. When she returns to normal, give him a thousand taels of silver to send her away."

Malin hurriedly agreed and continued, "Where does the master want to send her to? Should he send her back to Mocheng?"

Li Ming waved his hand and said, "If you ask for her opinion, she will send her to wherever she wants. If she is really wronged, then we will owe her more. Oh, go."

Marin hurriedly bowed and said goodbye. Looking at Marin's back, all kinds of troubles surged into his heart. Everything that happened today made him feel extremely stuffy in his chest. With a "ah", he couldn't help but sigh.

There was a commotion in the bamboo forest not far away. Situ Yan led the students to hurriedly run towards him from the bamboo forest. The guards not far away also jumped high and low, using light skills to surround him.

Li Ming was immediately amazed and cried, and waved his hand to drive everyone back. The unhappiness and worries just now seemed to have disappeared from this throat. Looking at Situ Yan's concerned gaze, he felt refreshed, suppressed many troubles, and smiled at Situ Yan: "I have nothing to do. I practiced my throat just now, haha, don't worry."

"You're not going to ask you for a ghost!" Lin Lingfeng appeared in front of him like lightning and scolded: "You thought you were alone! Do you do whatever you want? How many people were worried about your ghost just now? Yao'er was almost crying! Practicing her throat? What's the point of making you do?"

Li Ming hurriedly laughed with apologizing, and sent Lin Lingfeng away with a lie. He turned around and looked at Situ Yan's look of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. He couldn't help but be angry and stared at him and said, "What are you laughing? Stop laughing! I'll let you practice your throat with me."

Situ Yan hurriedly stopped his smile and turned around and was about to run away. Li Ming hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, stop."

Situ Yan turned around, held back his smile and said, "Dean, what are you asking for? Let me say it first, I don't scream that much, haha, just say anything."

Li Ming said angrily: "I won't call you with you. Go and send someone to call Chen Hao and Ma Lin to Zhulin Pavilion. I have something to tell them."

Situ Yan hurriedly agreed and turned toward the bamboo forest. When he reached the edge of the bamboo forest, he turned around and shouted to Li Ming: "Dean, do you know that your screams just now are worse than those of the donkey, hahahaha." After that, he ran to the bamboo forest quickly without caring about his old body.

Li Ming suddenly felt ridiculous. Situ Yan was almost sixty! He was actually joking with him today. It seemed that he was really approachable, haha. Li Ming thought to himself as he walked.

In the bamboo forest pavilion, Li Ming briefly said what happened today. After hearing this, everyone looked solemnly, looking at Li Ming together, waiting for him to make the next arrangement.
