Zhao Ziyi stared down at her: her eyes lowered slightly, and her thick eyelashes concealed her thoughts. He knew her worries, even though she didn't say anything. He was also worried about Wang Heng, seeing her like this, he was more worried about her than Wang Heng, he was afraid that Wang Heng would not be able to bear it if something happened to her, and he was afraid that she would be plotted.

He could only brace himself to share her worries.

Liang Xinming sent Ding Ding, Qing Mo, Chubby, Liunian, and Green Wind to change their faces, and went to different places, including Huzhou, Jingzhou, and Beijing. Before leaving, he instructed them that they were only responsible for finding out the news, and that they were not allowed to commit crimes without authorization.

A month or two later, they came back one after another.

According to the information they inquired, Liang Xinming drew up a counterattack plan one by one. This time, she sent Zhao Ziyi out, "Only if you go, can you be foolproof." ”

Zhao Ziyi immediately refused, and said, "The subordinates will not leave the adult!"

Liang Xinming said: "Just because you never leave your own official, the other party never imagined that we would fight back in this way, and what we want is to be surprised." Let Zhao Jiu pretend to be you and stay by the official's side, I will be careful. ”

Zhao Ziyi still hesitated.

Liang Xinming said firmly: "Go ahead! There are some things that cannot be solved by force alone. If I leave my eldest brother, I won't be able to protect myself, and something will happen sooner or later. ”

Although Zhao Ziyi knew that she was full of wisdom, she was still at ease, but she had made up her mind and was very resolute, and he couldn't help but follow her arrangement.

In order to help her fulfill her wish and return to her as soon as possible, in order to warn and deter her opponent and keep her safe, he resorted to twelve methods, and in the next few months, he went to Huzhou, Beijing, Jingzhou and other places. Everywhere they went, one or two officials were either killed or their crimes were exposed.

In Hanjiang Mansion, Jingzhou, the prefect Ma Rui and his subordinate wife *** were caught by a drunk subordinate, and the subordinate killed Ma Rui in a fit of rage.

The commander of the Huzhou Forbidden Army made Gao Ze embezzle military salaries to provoke a mutiny, and was killed by the rebels.

Li Xiangyang, the salt transport envoy of the two lakes, had only been in office for half a year, and he was drunk on the flower boat, and accidentally fell into the water in full view of everyone, and he could not be rescued and drowned.

……

By September, a total of nine officials had folded.

When she came back from the last trip, Zhao Ziyi told Liang Xinming: "My lord, my subordinates learned one thing from this trip: the assassin who shot the adult with a firearm last time came from the army, and was sent by Tian Feihong, the niece and son-in-law of Zuo Xiang. Tian Feihong is now stationed in Daba Mountain, Jingzhou, and is stationed at the Firearms Research Center, which is under the command of the Yasukuni Gong. ”

Liang Xinming said: "No wonder there is a pistol. ”

Zhao Ziyi said: "That's a musket." ”

Liang Xinming said: "All have the same meaning." ”

Zhao Ziyi asked, "How are you going to deal with this Tian Feihong?"

Liang Xinming said: "Forget it." ”

Zhao Ziyi was puzzled: "Don't move him?"

Liang Xinming said: "Don't move." Let's know how to advance and retreat. The death of one or two officials is not noticeable, and nine of them have fallen. As long as you connect these people together, it is not difficult to find that their relatives and friends were all killed by their teachers. If this Tian Feihong learns the news, he will definitely be vigilant. Even if I have a way to deal with him now, the timing is not right, and I should wait until I clean it up later, so that I can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Packed up nine, that's enough.

Ninety-nine is one, which is a good number!

She stretched out her right hand and held it up, looking into the sunlight: the white palms, which were as slender as jade even though she never applied balm.

Such beautiful hands are also stained with blood.

She doesn't feel guilty, she doesn't regret it.

Zhao Ziyi saw her staring at her hand and was distracted, she didn't know what to think, he didn't reply, he was very puzzled, and shouted twice: "Adult?"

Liang Xinming woke up and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

Zhao Ziyi said: "Then the subordinates won't go out." ”

Liang Xinming said: "Don't go out." Now that the autumn harvest is underway, the agricultural tax is about to be put into storage. This is our first bumper harvest year in Qianxian County. The official is going to go to the countryside for a walk. When you are done with this, you go to Mingzhou to find a teacher. ”

This time, Zhao Ziyi refused to listen to her.

He said, "My lord, please forgive my subordinates for not obeying their orders. The Wang family will send someone to find Antai, not a subordinate, but there are only subordinates around the adult, in case there is a mistake, it is a dereliction of duty. My lord, let's be patient. ”

Liang Xinming sighed: "The official is in a hurry. ”

Zhao Ziyi said: "That's it, let Zhao Jiu go." ”

Liang Xinming thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

Wang Heng had no news, she was silent on the surface, but she couldn't hold on to it in her heart. Every day, she is immersed in her busy official duties, for fear that she will be cranky when she is idle. When there is something in the heart, the person looks thin.

Zhao Ziyi looked at her emaciated figure, and her heart twisted: when she first came last year, she could eat and drink so hard, but now, she doesn't know how to eat every meal.

What worries her so much?

Only Wang Heng, whose whereabouts are unknown, is unknown.

Liang Xinming is not depressed.

Whether Wang Heng is dead or alive, she must persevere.

If Wang Heng is okay, she should work hard now.

If Wang Heng died, she would have to work harder.

The next day, accompanied by Zhao Ziyi, she went to the villages and towns in Qianxian County to inspect the autumn harvest and the payment of agricultural taxes, so as to prevent the small officials below from collecting taxes and extorting money.

On this day, they came to the vicinity of Qianshan Lake.

Standing by the lake, looking at the vast lake surface and the remnants of the lotus root on the lake, Liang Xinming sighed with emotion, it is difficult to be a sesame official!

Because of the Qianshan Lake Reservoir, Qianxian County did not suffer from floods this year, and successfully survived the drought period, which was a bumper harvest year; in addition, the government did not set up a false name, forcibly apportioned taxes, and expropriated expropriation, and the people laughed from ear to ear.

They are satisfied, Liang Xinming is not.

That's far from her ideal prosperity!

However, she doesn't take it for granted.

Since ancient times, no matter what dynasty or generation, reform has not been easy, because people have formed a mindset and habits, and instinctively refuse to change.

In Liang Xinming's previous life, the reform of the transformation of the small-scale peasant economy into a commodity economy was equally difficult. Entering the commodity economy, trouble comes again: people only have money in their hearts, and when they see everything, they first consider whether it can be turned into money and whether it is profitable.

Liang Xinming understands that if the people are not allowed to see the benefits, and then follow the trend and forcibly guide the insiders by outsiders, they will definitely end in failure.

She could only guide very carefully.

But the result still discouraged her.

Take one thing.

Liang Xinming wanted to improve productivity, so he promoted the rice threshing machine, also known as the threshing machine, which is a human-operated agricultural machinery that has long been popularized in Huzhou.

Liang Xinming thought that Qianxian County was poor and it was unrealistic for every household to buy a rice threshing machine, so he persuaded the carpenters in the village to make a few rice threshing machines and rent them to the villagers. The carpenter was charged ten cents a day for each machine. Liang Xinming persuaded him that he had to let everyone see the benefits first, and it was the same if there were more people waiting for rent. Wait until everyone's life is better and buy his rice threshing machine, then the profit will be high.
