Chapter 51: Distinguished Guest
Chu Yi didn't plan to leak himself, but later heard from his subordinates that things had changed, so he had to come to meet the city lord. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This city lord is very greedy for money, and in the past few years in the northwest, he has sent silver to this city lord.
This time, if the Son of Heaven hadn't listened to the slander and wanted to punish their father and son, he would not have come here to investigate this matter.
Thinking that it was strange when that incident happened, it was the military salary used for their northwest soldiers to buy supplies for the winter, so they were quietly lost.
At that time, some officials also offered to send someone to investigate.
But as a result, I couldn't find any boss after checking and checking, until so many years later, the matter was brought up again.
Just because in the past few years, their northwest military camp has been self-sufficient, and even made some money, so it has caused the peeps and frames of the people above, saying that they took away the military salary that year, and later the thief shouted to catch the thief.
His father wanted to reason with the palace in the capital, but he stopped him.
The thing is obvious, it is the fear of their father and son, which gives the problem.
Just like the military salaries and materials that the imperial court sends to the Northwest Army every year, there is no time when there is enough at all, and it is not even half of the cost of the whole army.
This is obviously a difficulty, a frame-up, and a conspiracy.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, this framing began.
One will say that their father and son have exceeded their authority and do not listen to discipline, and the other time they will say that their father and son are the overlords of the northwest and want to be called kings and emperors, and this time they will say that they have stolen military salaries and called thieves thieves.
Every one of these cases is obvious to the court's intentions, and they are afraid that their father and son will stand out.
But then again, this can't be blamed on their father and son, the main reason is that the court rarely appoints newcomers, and even if they do, they are all relatives of officials in the DPRK and China, and they can't be lived by virtuous people.
He sneaked over to investigate this matter thoroughly, because several times his father had avoided it a few times, and if he didn't find out this time, it would be very difficult every time in the future.
It's only to blame his father for not being straight, otherwise, otherwise, he will definitely go to the capital and be clear and understandable.
Tao Xiushui didn't know the city lord, so he specially called Xiao Lan'er to identify him.
It's true that it's the city lord, but isn't that Hongshan?
Tao Xiushui nodded, it was Hong Shan.
was photographed by the city lord and given to that person, Xiao Lan'er pointed at the cold man with her finger.
Tao Xiushui nodded, it seems that it is right.
This man looked cold, but he was no different from others.
Tao Xiushui was a little disappointed.
Xiao Lanhe is pitiful to Hongshan, and feels sorry for her being sent around.
Xiao Lan'er forgot about her brother's unhappiness and grieved for this person.
, but what can I do, that's her life, Tao Xiushui couldn't help but reply.
In the past, she was forced to change her own life, but she didn't change it until she died, and now she still wants to change her life, and I don't know what the outcome will be, a person who can't even control her own life, let alone save others, which she doesn't dare to hope for.
Xiao Lan'er was still muttering there: "It's strange and pitiful, it's so good-looking, you have to live such a life."
Tao Xiushui smiled, "Zifei knows the joy of fish"
"Indeed, she seems to be full of joy"
Tao Xiushui nodded, only to see Hong Shan shyly and timid, unconsciously leaning towards the cold man, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her face was a little flushed.
Looks like I'm happy!
Tao Xiushui and Xiao Lan'er said in their hearts.
Hong Shan is also lucky to have the opportunity to let herself be with a young man.
The cold man is not only good-looking, but his identity must be unusual.
If it was better, maybe she could be an aunt, and then she wouldn't have to go back to the brothel.
Xiao Lan'er stopped watching it after watching it for a while.
Turning around, he saw that Tao Xiushui was still looking at Hongzha in a daze, and said strangely: "What else is there to see, do you know anyone?"
"Oh, I don't know, I'm just curious."
To be honest, she really didn't know that person, and although she had been in contact for a few days, she still didn't know who this person's surname was.
"I don't know what else to see, come and eat," Xiao Er was serving the food at this time.
Tao Xiushui saw that a few people walked straight into the distance and disappeared, so he turned back to sit at the table.
Qingzhu and the girl Xiaomei didn't sit in priority.
Xiao Lan'er grabbed a pair of chopsticks and said while eating: "Why do I think you don't say anything like you're hiding from me?"
How could Tao Xiushui talk about his relationship with the cold-faced man, and said on the other side: "Then there is, I was thinking about who was the man who gave away Hongshan from the city lord?"
"Who else can it be, what kind of distinguished guest must be, or how can you send a woman?"
Tao Xiushui was right when he thought about it, that person looked like he was either rich or expensive.
The city lord can give his woman, this identity must not be simple.
But it's not a good person, so someone will give it to you.
I thought that the iceman wouldn't be indiscriminate everywhere, but I didn't want to be like many men, who were all masters who loved women.
Xiao Lan'er saw that the people in front of her were absent-minded, and continued:
"You don't care about Hongshan, don't worry, she may not come back with that person, wait for me to go home, and ask my father to discipline my brother well, he is too good at making trouble."
Tao Xiushui saw that Xiao Lan'er was crooked, and hurriedly corrected her: "What, it's not what you think, let's eat it quickly!
Xiao Lan'er looked weird, she didn't believe it, she had heard that the person in front of her had a special affection for her brother, could it be that the person she was looking at just now was not Hong Shan?
Who could it be if it wasn't her?
If she can't figure it out, she won't think about it anymore, she will know sooner or later anyway.
Xiao Lan'er's mood became very fast, and after talking to Tao Xiushui for a while, she felt much better, her appetite was full, and she ate very happily.
Tao Xiushui was also infected by the person in front of him, and he used half a bowl of rice.
The two of them couldn't move after eating, and even the two girls were full of oil.
Xiaomei doesn't like to talk, and she is timid, so she didn't dare to eat at first.
Later, under the influence of green bamboo, I ate more and more.
When a few people finished eating, they went downstairs, and the sun was just right outside.
The group of four people was full of food and drink, and they were about to go to the surroundings of Baicheng to see the scenery and eat and eat.
Just now, Tao Xiushui asked the coachman to order something to eat and drink casually downstairs.
At this time, he had already finished eating, and he was waiting outside the door with the carriage.
Almost no one had just walked far out of the restaurant when he saw Xiao An, who looked unhappy, and a group of nobles coming in from outside the door. Among them is the son of the Bo family, the forest lord whom Tao Xiushui knows.
This person glanced at Tao Xiushui with small squinting eyes.
Xiao An didn't wait for the two to speak: "What are you two girls walking around, hurry home"
Tao Xiushui glared at him in bewilderment, how could this person speak! She was not his sister.
Xiao Lan'er's anger that had just subsided surged up again, and she pointed to her brother and said:
"You're embarrassed to say that I'm out for a serious meal, why are you messing around, but you're ......" fighting with people at the door of the brothel.
She pressed down and didn't say anything.
With so many people here, she wants to save face for her brother.
"What are you talking nonsense?" Xiao An is not very easy to explain.
It's not nice to talk about fighting for women, but he and Hong Shan are just friends, nothing else.
Xiao Xiu'er became even more angry when she heard this, and pulled Tao Xiushui away.
Sunshine said
Happy New Year's Day, everyone!
