Chapter 63: Confession

"I heard that your store has opened in Xijing?" Wang Zhaodao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes, I'm going to open another shop, if it's good, the family can also have more income." Xu Landao.

Wang Zhao nodded,

"Xijing is mixed, the depth of the water is unfathomable, and you still have to be careful in everything." Wang Zhaodao.

Xu Lan glanced at Wang Zhao and felt that the courteous Wang Zhao might not be as bookish as he looked.

Xu Lan originally wanted to talk about Qing Yao, but felt that Wang Zhao might have something in his heart, so she didn't want to talk too much.

I took some snacks brought out by my family and ate some snacks, went to Zhuangzi to eat a farmer's meal, and played in Zhuangzi for a while in the afternoon before returning to Huaia County.

Everyone was exhausted, and everyone was silent, only Wang Zhao was still in good spirits.

After dinner, they all rested early, and Xu Lan went to Brother Xuan'er's room to stay with him for a while before opening the door to go to Xu Tang's room. Xu Tang's room was on the other side of the verandah, and Xu Lan was about to cross the cuizhu in the courtyard, and found that Qingyao was standing in front of Wang Zhao by the cuizhu. In this courtyard, how did Qing Yao get in!

"Young master, I, I don't care about anything, only, as long as... The Tao of Ai Ai during the Qing Yao period.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to go, and you shouldn't stay too long because it's dark and slippery." Wang Zhao interrupted her and wanted to bypass her.

Qing Yao grabbed Wang Zhao's sleeve.

This is her last chance, and if she can't show it, she won't have a chance in the future.

"You know, you know what I'm going to say to you, right?" Qing Yao's voice trembled a little.

"I don't know, I just know that I don't have anything to say to you, and I don't have anything to say in the future." Wang Zhao said lightly, pulled open his sleeve and paused: "Many things are not just what you think you think. ”

He left without looking back.

Qing Yao was stunned there, she had already said it so clearly, she was really, really unwilling.

Qing Yao took a few steps forward and pulled Wang Zhao's sleeve and cried loudly!

Xu Lan was startled, she didn't expect Qing Yao to be so bold, and Wang Zhao's face turned cold.

It seems that he still underestimated this Zhao Qingyao, and he can think of such a trick.

The lonely man and widow had a private meeting on this night, which attracted people, and I am afraid that he can't tell even if he has ten mouths.

Wang Zhao tugged at his sleeves hard, and was grabbed tightly by Zhao Qingyao.

Wang Zhao looked at Zhao Qingyao with cold eyes and sharpness, Zhao Qingyao flinched a little, she had never seen Wang Zhao's indifferent look. But she is still reluctant, in the future, in the future, he will find out that he is good and will forgive himself.

Xu Lan shook her fist and walked out of the bamboo forest, pretending to pass by, and when she saw Qing Yao, she stepped forward in surprise: "Huh! Qingyao, why are you here? As he spoke, he stepped forward to pull her, but Qingyao didn't expect Xu Lan to be here, and she was unprepared for a while, and Xu Lan pulled her hand away.

Xu Lan pulled Qing Yao hard and said in another direction: "It's just right, Xu Tang misses you, and said that he wants to find you to play, let's go, go to Xu Tang." ”

Qing Yao reacted at this time and wanted to pull it out hard.

It had already alarmed the little people in the yard, seeing Xu Lan and Qing Yao pulling there, and seeing Qing Yao hanging two lines of tears, he was a little at a loss for a while, not knowing what was going on.

Xu Lan and Qing Yao both looked back, Wang Zhao was no longer there!

Xu Lan put her mind at ease and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that Qingyao thinks about my sister very much, and the two of them play together every day in our house, and they have only been separated for a day, so they must ask me to find Qingyao to come over." No, Qing Yao was so moved that she burst into tears. ”

Qing Yao saw that Wang Zhao was no longer there, and she also knew that she had no chance, and Mu Mu stood there with tears streaming down her face.

"Okay, okay, you go first, she's embarrassed as a girl."

The little guy listened and walked away.

Xu Lan pulled Qing Yao in her ear and said, "You better go to Xu Tang and sit down for a while, I will go over for you." As he spoke, he took Qing Yao to Xu Tang, Xu Tang saw Qing Yao coming over a little strangely, and saw that Qing Yao had traces of crying, and looked at Xu Lan again, Xu Lan shook her head at her and made a gesture. Xu Tang didn't ask much, poured water, and gave the snack box to Qing Yao.

Qing Yao sat for a while, washed her face, and looked at Xu Lan a few times with some hatred.

Xu Lan pretended not to understand anything.

Xu Lan asked her if she slept here at night or went to her own house. Since she can get in, she naturally has a way to get out.

Qing Yao got up, Xu Lan sent her to the side door, Qing Yao turned around and said, "I don't regret doing this, the young master will understand my heart in the future." After saying that, he opened the door and went out.

Xu Lan followed out and saw her get into a carriage, and a man who looked like a coachman carried her away.

Xu Lan thought about it, this young master should not be talking about her, that is Wang Zhao, Wang Zhao has already said it so clearly, why can't she understand? If the young master had a trace of compassion for her, it would be impossible to say such things today. It's terrible for a woman to fall in love, and it's true that love blinds people.

But this Qingyao is afraid that she also hates herself.

After Xu Lanmu sent Qing Yao away, she went back to Xu Tang's room and fell asleep.

On the second day, everyone played chess and read books for a day.

Wang Zhao touched Xu Lan and said thank you, Xu Lan nodded, and the two didn't say anything more.

It is also superfluous to say anything.

Early in the morning of the third day, they packed up and rushed back to Huaiyang County. Qing Yao also followed Mama Zhao back to the county seat.

Along the way, I met a number of homeless people from HNSC and other places, and there were many more than a month ago, and many of them came out with their families. When they saw their carriages passing by, they all stretched out their hands to beg on the side of the road. Wang took pity on them at first and wanted to share the food she was carrying in the car, but Junko stopped her. Once it started, the nearby homeless people would rush forward when they saw it, and the consequences would be unimaginable, so Wang didn't dare to act rashly in a cold sweat.

Xu Lan thought of the reasons why Bingde talked to her about the displaced people when he talked to her before, but there were not so many before, how could there suddenly be so many this year.

Back in Huaiyang County, many displaced people were blocked out of the city gates. Moreover, the soldiers at the gate were more strict than before.

Xu Lan asked Shunzi and Steward Zhao to go to the teahouse to sit and see why there were suddenly so many homeless people this year.

Shunzi went back and forth to Xu Lan on the morning of the second day, it turned out that there was a drought in the HN area, and the farmers could barely maintain it before, but this year it was a poor harvest, but the tax was not reduced, and there was no way but to abandon the field and run away. There are already many bandits who occupy the mountains and are kings, specializing in robbing aisles, there are too many of them, and the government is a little helpless, and they have become bandits.

Many displaced people have migrated to the surrounding areas, and the places along the coast are relatively wealthy, and there are more people coming, and now basically all the county towns do not dare to take them in, for fear that they will not be able to control it.

Xu Lan listened, didn't this court do anything?

Thinking that there was no one in Xijing's shop, he asked Shunzi to go back to Xijing first, and repaired a letter to Lin Rusong, asking him to help find a local trusted shopkeeper.

In the afternoon, Steward Zhao also came over to tell her that the situation was basically the same as that of Junzi. It's just that Steward Zhao said that the situation was even more serious, saying that there were more displaced people in the Jiangcheng area, and there were corpses dying of starvation on the road from time to time.

"Is there any way for the court to come down?"

"Not yet, since Cheng Ge Lao retired, it was Yan Shoufu who was in charge of the government, this Yan Shoufu deceived the superiors and subordinates, and the emperor heard that he did not go to the court all day. Otherwise, if there is a drought, why should we still collect taxes as usual? ”

When Xu Lan heard this, she felt that the situation was serious, so she asked Steward Zhao to be careful when she went out to do things. I also thought that if the situation could not be controlled, would there be **** at that time. Aren't there enough historical lessons from the peasants who were forced to rise up impatiently?

Xu Lan and Xu Yiliang discussed it, then stored a lot of grain in the kiln, and went to Chen Po to invite two martial artists to come to the courtyard to guard the door. Xu Lan was a little relieved.

After four or five days, Shunzi replied that Lin Rusong had helped them find a shopkeeper and asked her if she wanted to go over and have a look. Xu Lan felt that it was better to set the shopkeeper sooner rather than later, so she discussed with Xu Yiliang and took a martial artist to Xijing.
