Chapter 33 Returning the Favor
"Wu An, close the door and guard the door!" Wang Jingxing turned to Xia Zhuyi, who was not far from the table: "You, come here!"
Shut the door! Come here, listen to the magnetic bass, and look at the handsome face,...... Xia Zhuyi's face turned red instantly, his heartbeat accelerated, and he was making progress so fast, covering his thin clothes, he hesitated shyly:
"Your Excellency, what do you want to do? There are many ways to repay personal debts. Why do you have to choose this one?"
...... Lord Wang was stunned for a moment, and with her exaggerated movements, he figured out the meaning of her words, and suddenly he was ashamed and angry, and his face was blue and red for a while, thinking of me as someone!
"Shameless! What kind of mess are you thinking about in your head? I want you to tell me about Zhou Dunyi!"
Zhou Dunyi! The heart that was calm just now suddenly chuckled, why did he still hold on to the previous things, Zhou Dunyi, a friend, made it up by himself, but he couldn't stand up to inspection, and he didn't think about what the consequences would be if he said it at that time, why did he suddenly ask about this?
Xia Zhuyi looked guarded: "Why do you ask about this, what do you want to ask Zhou Dunyi, I answer purposefully." ”
"You tell me everything you know, everything he told you. ”
"Well, everything? it's the map I told you about that day, and nothing else. ”
"I'm not happy with you reciprocating favors. ”
I'm really stupid that you're the one who tricked me into giving you a favor, but right now I seem to be able to help you.
"What does the adult want to ask? Maybe Zhou Dunyi may not know, but Tao Yuanming does. ”
Wang Jingxing stared at her deeply for a long time, I didn't know whether she was worthy of trust, his mind was spinning quickly, and he finally spoke: "Do you remember that the county guard of Lindong County reported on the current situation in the territory at the county guard meeting and said: The weather is dry and there is no harvest. The territory is poor and remote, and people are worried about their livelihoods, so many people have left their hometowns and gone far away, and this year's grain collection will have to be paid less to the imperial court. ”
"What is the problem with men going out to work, the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the pregnant staying at home to grow crops, growing little grain, and running a fiscal deficit?"
"Maybe there's something wrong!" Wang Jingxing said frankly, expressing his conjecture.
"First of all, although there is a slight drought this year, there is a Bailong River in Lindong, and there are tributaries of the vertical river, and water diversion and irrigation are not a problem, and there is no such thing as drought, not to mention that in Linxi County, which is adjacent to him, the conditions are more difficult, but the grain planting area is more. ”
"Secondly, no one wants to leave their homeland to help people except for military service. But it's common to go far away here. But it's unusual!"
"Again, as you said before, there is a lot of iron ore here. If this is the case, it is very likely that the mineral deposits elsewhere have been explored, since there is already a record. ”
"So, I suspect that these villagers were secretly dragged to the coal mine to work as miners. Claiming to the outside world that because of the drought that led to the poor harvest, the men were forced to go out to work for their livelihood, but the actual reason was that the men went out to work and no one planted the farmer and the harvest was poor...... But that's just my guess. So ......" Wang Jingxing looked at Xia Zhuyi bluntly and seriously,
"So, I only need to know if there are still mineral deposits in Lindong and their specific locations to confirm this conjecture. If it was as he guessed, he didn't know how much conspiracy was hidden behind the mine, and he hoped in his heart that this conjecture was wrong!
Hearing this, Xia Zhuyi knew the seriousness of the matter, he had scared Qian Clerk before that clerical was a high-risk profession, but now he didn't expect to put himself in danger first.
Instinctively, she slightly rejected and refused: "The villain's words can't be taken seriously, my lord, you have great powers, you can send some secret guards to investigate secretly!"
Hearing this, Wang Jingxing's eyes dimmed a little, his fists tightened, and he said with some negative anger: "If I can find out, I still ask you what to do......"
Xia Zhuyi knew that the safest answer was: Since nothing has been found, it means that your conjecture is not valid!
But the first time I heard him say that he was a little helpless, Xia Zhuyi was a little unbearable but very proud, she just wanted to earn this performance, and said arrogantly:
"Then your Secret Guard is terrible!!Do you have a map?"
His eyes lit up, and Wang Jingxing hurriedly rolled out the map of Lindong County that he was still studying just now.
Looking at the rough lines, Xia Zhuyi pursed his lips, and his thoughts drifted into the distance......
The lines on the map are still the familiar rivers and mountains, Lindong County is the hometown where she grew up in her previous life, how can she not be familiar with it. There are mines everywhere, and I see the green mountains devastated little by little, and the rivers dry up little by little. In the end, environmental inspections shut down nearly 100 mines, large and small. Unexpectedly, as early as the distant ancient hometown, he could not escape the greedy search......
Retracting his thoughts, Xia Zhu knelt down in front of Wang Jingxing. Looking into his eyes, he said seriously and sincerely,
"My lord, I never wanted to go against you from the beginning, and I have always been on your side, on the side of justice, so I must know everything and say everything. ”
"But I know that minerals have always been the driving force behind conspiracy of interests, and once I tell these secrets. It will definitely lead to huge questions, why do I know that these are these? Is it related to my father? How did Zhou Dunyi know so much? The entire Xia family may be in crisis. ”
"My lord, Daddy never knew about the treasure, so you can dispel these doubts, and don't ask me how I found out. Is it okay to give me enough trust? I need your trust to maintain my loyalty!"
Wang Jingxing was stunned by these words - she seemed to be a fool, but in fact, she knew what was right and wrong. Looking at the petite but strong and stubborn woman in front of him, who was willing to block the honor and innocence of himself and even the entire family for the sake of justice, there was a trace of shock and appreciation in his heart, and he felt that there was a like-minded person.
Looking into her eyes for a long time, Wang Jingxing finally nodded solemnly and replied, "I trust you!"
However, if Xia Baisong really didn't know that it was the best, no one would stop him from doing it, and if Xia Baisong already knew about it and was still obstructing it, then don't blame him for asking for guilt and accusing him of concealing it!
So he added: "Keep it secret at this time." If your father doesn't know, don't tell him anymore, it's a big deal, so it's better to leave it clean!"
"Yes, thank you for your trust." Zhu Yi looked at the map seriously and shook his head: "Your map is too simple, there are many mountains and rivers that have not been drawn. ”
Wang Jingxing was surprised, she must have never been to Lindong County: "You even know such a detailed terrain, and you can still draw it?"
Xia Zhu smiled and said, "If you want me to do it, I can ...... Is it just a map first, or a distribution of mineral deposits? The two things should not be confused!"
Regardless of the words she hid, Wang Jingxing said eagerly: "Of course, draw a map first." ”
"Good!"
Xia Zhu nodded abruptly. As soon as he picked up a pen, Lord Wang hurriedly got up and gave up his seat to this great hero, and stood beside him to sharpen the ink for her, like a little attendant for her to send.
Sitting on the county guard chair, Xia Zhuyi also gave face to himself, and regarded himself as a leader!
"Vermilion!" Wang Xiaosi hurriedly handed over the red pen, "Green!", Wang Xiaosi hurriedly handed over the green pen. Blue, and hurriedly handed over the blue pen. "Tea", hurry up and change a hot cup for her.
For two whole hours, his eyes were sore, and with the memory of his previous life, he was stunned to outline the peaks, canyons, rivers, and flatlands that should have been.
The more detailed map is alive, just looking at the map seems to be like seeing the living environment of Lindong County, Lord Wang hid the doubts in his heart, and was surprised again and again, Xia Zhuyi was very satisfied with his reaction.
After praising the map, Wang Xiaosi handed Zhuyi a vermilion pen, "Then please Miss Xia mark the distribution of mineral deposits." ”
Xia Zhuyi looked at the anxious Wang Xiaosi and smiled, didn't take the pen, fell back lazily, sat loosely on the back of the chair, and said casually:
"My lord, I only owe you a favor, one! I have already paid it off just after drawing the map, and as for the distribution of mineral deposits, well, it seems that it is not within my scope of responsibility. ”
“......”
Xia Zhuyi took another sip of tea, stood up in Wang Jingxing's astonishment, and patted him on the shoulder like a leader:
"Okay, I'm busy now, remember to help me change the discussion script when it's empty!" After speaking, he swaggered away, leaving the stunned Wang Xiaosi stupidly in place.
Just as the petite woman was about to go out, there was a roar of gnashing teeth from behind: "If you don't circle the map, don't want me to change the discussion record!"
Xia Zhuyi didn't reply, "Changing the draft is work, if you don't change it, forget it, it's a big deal that I have one less work chores." With that, he opened the door and dragged out. Hmph, tell you to trick me, when you beg me, hahaha......
Wang Jingxing was so angry that his teeth itched, and his face was red with a sigh of suffocation while holding the map. I must have had a brain problem just now, and I even admired her as a hero!
......
Wang Jingxing can naturally coerce and induce Xia Zhuyi to tell where the treasure is.
But: First, he thinks that he is an upright person, she has not made a mistake, and she must not use illegal means to force her! Second, Xia Zhuyi seems to know far more things in Shuzhong than he thinks, and he must think about it slowly, and he must not force people to be in a hurry! Third, he knows that Xia Zhuyi's character of being unprofitable and unprofitable is not early, and he knows that there are still many opportunities.
In the end, he seems to have a simple desire to use power to force her. Aside from the exchange of interests, this approach seems more humane.
In the evening, Lord Wang bathed and went to bed, and he was very tired today. He lay on the bed and flipped through the thick handwritten manuscript, his mouth was disgusted, but his eyes were full of smiles, and finally he took a vermilion pen, seriously revised it, and annotated it densely, "This word is wrong, you added this word yourself, the original words should be ......"
