503. in the first place
Xia Mingche retracted his gaze, sighed, and said to Xiao Qing: "It's just that I pity the people, although the disaster relief food in recent days has solved the urgent need, but in some remote places, it is still far away from quenching the thirst, uncle is at a loss these days, I plan to go in person in a few days." ”
Xiao Qing knew that those places were not only complicated and difficult to walk, but even the people there might be very arrogant, so he hurriedly said: "I'll go with you, maybe there are still remnants of epidemics in those places, you have to be careful." ”
Xia Mingche looked at Xiao Qing and smiled slightly, the smile eased the originally cold expression on his face, added a little warmth, and he said softly: "Some disaster relief affairs here are indispensable to you, if you leave at this time, your uncle will definitely be anxious, I will only go back in a few days, you don't have to worry, besides, Zi'an has left a lot of pills for me to defend myself before leaving, it will be fine." ”
Xiao Qing looked at him disapprovingly, he was obviously a weak person, but once he decided something, there was no room for maneuver, so she had to say helplessly: "Then let my little servant follow you, no matter where you go, don't let him leave, with him, you always have to be safer." ”
Xia Mingche looked at Xiao Qing's insistence, and nodded no longer objected.
The two of them walked towards the yamen while talking, and they didn't notice that a person dressed as a small guy in the corner hurriedly ran away.
Qin Bohou's Mansion, Qin Bohou frowned and looked at the little guy who came back to report the news.
"Li Fei is really gone?"
The little servant nodded, "The servant saw that Master Li got into the car, and there seemed to be something hidden in Lord Li's arms, seeing that he was very nervous, he touched his waist from time to time. ”
Qin Bohou Chen Jing couldn't help but sneer, and said: "It must have been Xia Mingche who gave him the account book, I really didn't expect Xia Mingche to be willing to give such a big credit to Li Fei, he is still too young, he doesn't know anything, does he really think that Li Fei will say good things about him after he arrives in Yunfu?"
Where did the little guy dare to say that these lords of the court were not, he was silent for a moment, and then thought of something, and said: "Master Hou, Lord Xia seems to be planning to go to a distant place to check the disaster, do you see if we are ......?"
Qin Bohou waved his hand, and it was not too late to clean up Li Fei after cleaning him up, and instructed the little servant: "Invite Wang Jushi." ”
The little guy responded and respectfully retreated.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a fairy wind and a goatee walked in and arched his hand to Qin Bohou, "What did Master Hou find?"
Qin Bohou closed the doors and windows tightly, and said with a solemn face: "Don't hide it from the king, there is a very tricky matter, and I have to ask you to take action......
He told Wang Jushi about the account books, and Wang Jushi was very surprised, and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Master Hou destroy the account books before? Why are there still the account books that have been left behind?"
Qin Bohou glanced at him with a very bad face, and he naturally heard the voice of Wang Jushi's words, but he was about to use him now, so he had to endure the unhappiness in his heart, and frowned: "What was destroyed before was the account book of the Ministry of Industry to build the river embankment, and Xia Mingche found the account book of the disaster relief grain distributed by the Ministry of Household over the years. ”
It was also his carelessness, he only thought that the flood was related to the river embankment and the Ministry of Industry, but he didn't expect Xia Mingche to turn around and find out the head of those grain payments, although the amount of grain money for disaster relief over the years is not large, but since he arrived in Fujian, these grain funds have gone into his own pocket, and the amount accumulated over the decades, even he didn't dare to take a closer look, but he was afraid that the account books would reach Yunfu, and it would be the day when he, Qin Bohou, would sit at the end.
Wang Jushi was taken aback, he didn't expect that this Qin Bohou had such a good reputation outside, and he was secretly greedy for ink more than any of the general soldiers.
His face was a little ugly and said: "Master Hou is too careless, in this way, I am afraid that I will have to stop some Master Li, whether it is coercion or temptation, I must let him hand over the account books willingly." ”
This is also what Qin Bohou wanted him to do, so he nodded and said: "Li Fei has already gone to Yunfu with the account book, it is estimated that he has just left the boundary of Quanzhou at this hour, and it is appropriate to do it now, and this matter has the king of Lao." ”
Wang Jushi looked at Qin Bohou in surprise, "Master Hou is going to go down......
Qin Bohou nodded, put the five fingers of his right hand together to make a gesture of a hand knife, and slashed at the air, "Coercion and temptation are better than once and for all." ”
Wang Jushi was shocked in his heart, then Li Fei was an official of the imperial court! How could he dare to attack the imperial history if he was white? If he was discovered, the lives of his family would not be guaranteed!
He said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with killing the imperial court officials, and it won't be ...... if it is found out."
Qin Bohou smiled coldly, "If he Li Fei dares to pluck the feathers on the tiger's head, he must have the courage to bear this consequence, you don't have to be so alarmed, in my territory, isn't it that I want them to know something, they can only know something?"
Wang Jushi was a little disappointed.
He has been Qin Bohou's staff for a few years, and he was not reused by Qin Bohou at the beginning, but later he used all his skills to be valued by Qin Bohou, and many private matters would be discussed with him, but what came and went was some unsightly work, and he understood that Qin Bohou simply used him as a murderous knife.
What is the crime of murdering the imperial court officials, presumably Qin Bohou will not know, the current Fujian is no longer the time for Qin Bohou's family to dominate, the emperor has already suspected him, at this time, he doesn't want to wipe his ass clean, but he still dares to act like this without scruples, no wonder the emperor will no longer tolerate him.
Wang Jushi had the idea of leaving in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly to Qin Bohou, so he only said lightly: "Let me prepare later." ”
Qin Bohou said with a smile: "Let Feng Jian follow you for a while, and be sure to deal with people cleanly." ”
Wang Jushi couldn't help frowning, Qin Bohou didn't believe him, and found someone to watch him do it, he quickly let go of his brows and responded.
Since you don't care about the friendship between master and servant, then I have no choice but to live with you!
……
On the carriage, Li Fei hid the booklet in his arms tightly, tidied up his clothes, picked up the teacup and asked while eating tea: "Where have we been for most of the day? How far have we reached Yunfu?"
The entourage on the side stepped forward and said: "My lord, we have just left Quanzhou, and it is estimated that there are still two days before we can get out of Fujian, and when we leave Fujian, we will walk for three days to Yunzhou and then walk for two days to reach Yunfu." ”
Li Fei was dizzy by his two days, three days and two days, and couldn't help complaining: "It's too slow, we have to go back in a hurry, so slow, I'm afraid that if something happens on the road, wouldn't it be in vain to be blind these days, is there a shortcut?"
The attendant said: "We always have to take the carriage slowly, otherwise we can save at least two days by riding back." ”
Li Fei is not very good at riding horses, he only knows that riding a horse is very uncomfortable, and the booklet is in his arms, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will fall out if he rides a horse, so he does not dare to take this risk, so he has to give up.
