Chapter 282: Guangyang City Chapter 10
"Hehe, I heard that girls like others to praise them, so, hehe......" Ji Ye smiled awkwardly.
You know it's so! Elegy glanced at the other party helplessly, sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "Really, I thought it was really because of my boundless charm, and sure enough, I can't believe the man's words, even if it ......" She glanced at Ji Ye, who was a whole head shorter than herself, and said with a little disgust: "Even if the other party is still a milky and hairy boy." ”
Ji Ye saw through the elegy's mind at a glance, and because of this, he was a little unhappy, his face wrinkled, and said, "Princess, I'm not a hairy boy who has not dried up!" I'm fifteen years old! ”
"Fifteen?!" Elegy was suddenly embarrassed, she looked each other up and down, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't think that Ji Ye was fifteen.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Doesn't the princess believe me? Ji Ye said unhappily, "Many people develop very late, and after a while, I will definitely grow taller than the princess!" ”
"Well, I'm looking forward to that day." Elegy nodded, she saw that not far in front of her was Xie Mansion, compared to Wang Chengxian, the county guard of Jiangsi County, I don't know how many levels it has been broken, thinking in her heart that this Xie Tiancheng probably didn't get any oil and water.
"Princess, Prime Minister, please please inside." Xie Tiancheng had a tired smile on his face, the blue and black under his eyes were clearly visible, I don't know how many nights he had stayed up, but his eyes were very bright and very bright.
After entering the mansion, Xie Tiancheng first settled the elegy and traveled with Ning Yuan, and the large team of the southern tour was arranged in the post station not far from the west of the city and arrived at the lobby. Xie Tiancheng immediately ordered someone to prepare hot tea.
"The lower officials are not well entertained, and I ask the princess to forgive me." Xie Tiancheng arched his hand and said.
Elegy glanced at the tea, there were a few Biluochun floating in it, the color was very dark, I don't know how long this tea has been placed.
She turned her head to look at Ning Yuanxing on the side, the person who loved tea the most didn't move at this time, he didn't seem to be interested in drinking tea, he put his hand on the table, and his fingers tapped rhythmically. His eyes were staring at the tea leaves and contemplating.
The elegy was a little scoffing at his appearance. If you don't want to drink tea, just say it, what is it deep?
Xie Tiancheng took a big sip of his tea, but Elegy and Ning Yuanxing didn't move at all, and their expressions moved slightly. asked: "Don't the princess and the prime minister like to drink Biluochun?" I still have a dragon well here......"
"Uh. Not necessarily. That's it. "Even if you change it, it's probably the kind that is about to mold, if that's the case. It's better to drink this cup, they didn't come to drink tea in the first place, why do they pay so much attention?
"Master Xie, on the way to Guangyang, I met a lot of refugees, listening to their words, they are all from Guangyang City, when we came to the city, we found that most of the people in the city are refugees, what is going on?"
Xie Tiancheng had long expected that the elegy would ask this, he held the teacup in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said, "Princess, don't hide it......"
What Xie Tiancheng said is the same as what Ji Ye said, the biggest reason why Guangyang City is so desolate and poor is the spring drought, because there is no water to irrigate, and a large number of crops that have rarely been harvested have died.
Because the canal was not dug completely, I thought that when a small city like Guangyang City encountered a drought, I could only stare dryly.
Thinking of this, Elegy was a little ashamed, if it weren't for Xiao Qi's corruption and perversion of the law, how could these people be in today's predicament, instead of sanctioning corrupt officials, she also wanted to shield the other party, from this point of view, she was out of responsibility.
"My lord......" Just when the elegy was entangled, a subordinate hurriedly ran in, he saw that there were so many people in the lobby, and there was a moment of hesitation, thank God to see it, and said: "It's okay, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
"Yes, my lord, the porridge shack on the east side of the city has been destroyed again!"
"What did you say?" Xie Tiancheng suddenly got up from his seat, because the range of movement was too large, his sleeve flipped the teacup on the table, the cup fell to the ground, split, and the tea splashed everywhere.
Xie Tian took on the matter of the porridge shed, he looked at the elegy and Ning Yuanxing who were sitting on the seat, a little embarrassed, after thinking for a while, he said: "Princess, prime minister, the lower officials still have some important things to deal with now, please stay in the house first, wait for the lower officials to come back, and then discuss something, if you have anything you need, just inform the next person." ”
"Since Lord Xie has something to deal with, then don't worry about our side, let's deal with the urgent matter first." Elegy nodded.
Xie Tiancheng glanced at the elegy gratefully, arched his hand, and said, "Thank you, princess!" ”
After speaking, he hurriedly walked out with his subordinates, and it seemed that he was really in a hurry.
As soon as Xie Tiancheng left, Elegy was about to leave, but Ning Yuanxing stopped her behind her back, "Princess, are you going back to the house to rest?" ”
After a pause, she was about to open her mouth, but she remembered the little Jin girl who was still waiting for Ning Yuanxing in the backyard, her heart trembled, and she swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and in the end, she nodded in response, "Well, I'm a little tired, I want to go back to the house and sleep for a while." ”
"Also, the princess has been traveling for many days, and she should have a good rest, so the minister will not disturb the princess's rest." After Ning Yuanxing finished speaking, he left, looking in such a hurry, Elegy thought that he was going to see that Xiao Jin.
Elegy did go back to the house, but not to sleep, she took off her tedious service and changed into the clothes of ordinary civilians.
Si Du was a little worried on the side, and said, "Princess, do you really want to go out?" Compared with the previous Jiangsi County, the security of Guangyang City is much worse, so if you go out so rashly, what should you do if you encounter a threat? ”
"Aren't you still in danger?" Elegy didn't care, and slowly straightened his sleeves.
"Having said that......" Si Du frowned, and asked again: "Since the princess wants to pay a private visit, then inform the prime minister first..."
"Where am I going, why should I tell him?" Elegy frowned and interrupted Si Dui's words, she looked at her, her tone was a little displeased, and said, "Si Dui, are you on my side or on his side?" ”
Si Du was taken aback, she had often traveled far away in advance, but there had never been a time when Elegy was so displeased, it seemed that the little girl who suddenly appeared this time really stimulated her.
"No, the subordinates have always been on the princess's side, but it's just ......" Si Dui persuaded, but seeing the look on the elegy, he suddenly realized that no matter what she said about Ning Yuanxing now, it would only make her even more unhappy, Si Dui shook his head, threw away the thoughts just now, and then seriously, and said: "The subordinates will definitely protect the princess!" ”
Seeing that Si Dui's position was firm, the black aura on her face decreased, and she said calmly: "Well, I believe in your strength. ”
The man was arranged in the east chamber, and the woman was settled in the west chamber, and the two were far apart, so even if the elegy made any moves, the other party would not immediately notice it, and the elegy walked out of the courtyard generously, and saw Ji Ye outside the courtyard, looking at her expectantly.
Seeing that it was Ji Ye, Elegy walked over with a smile on his face, and said, "Why are you here?" ”
"I think the princess is almost coming out, so I'm just waiting here." Ji Ye stroked his nose and said with a smile.
"How do you know I'm going out now?" Elegy raised his eyebrows, thinking that Ji Ye was really a very sharp child this time.
"I said I guessed, princess believe it or not?" Ji Ye asked with a grin.
"It doesn't matter if you guess it or not, it's a fact that I'm going out anyway." Elegy nodded Ji Ye's forehead and said, "You have also lived here for a long time, and you must know more than Guangyang City, so let you be the guide." ”
Ji Ye's eyes lit up, and he swore an oath, "That's what I planned, I've been to any place in this city!" ”
"That's good......" Elegy nodded, she thought for a while, and then asked: "By the way, you should know where the porridge shed in the west of the city is, let's go over and see later, I heard that the porridge shed has been demolished again, I don't know what happened." ”
"What? The porridge shed was demolished?! Ji Ye's reaction was much more than an elegy, an indignant expression appeared on his face, and he said, "Princess, this time, you must call the shots for us, I probably know who demolished the porridge shed." ”
"Oh?" Elegy raised her eyebrows, seeing Ji Ye's expression, she knew that this matter was very strange, daring to demolish the porridge shed of the imperial court was definitely not something that ordinary people could do, Guangyang City would be so barren, not just because of the spring drought.
Ji Ye took the elegy and his party to rush around, and finally came to the porridge shed, at this time, there were already many people gathered here.
"Borrowed, borrowed." Ji Ye pushed away the crowd and left a way for the elegy, and several people quickly squeezed to the front.
I saw that in the middle of the crowd, Xie Tianchengtie looked at the ruins in front of him with a blue face, and the large wooden barrel that originally contained the porridge was also overturned at the moment, and the porridge was spilled everywhere, and the people around were talking about it.
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Elegy asked Ji Ye, who also had a calm face, in a low voice.
Ji Ye looked indignant, and he said: "This must be done by the lackeys of Zhang Yuanwai's family!" ”
"Zhang Yuanwai?" Elegy was stunned for a moment, "What does Zhang Yuanwai do?" How dare you move the porridge shed of the imperial court and want to go to prison? ”
Ji Ye shook his head and said: "Zhang Yuanwai is the biggest merchant here, in Guangyang City, there are the most rice shops belonging to his family, that old bastard, in order to squeeze the money of our ordinary people, he specially sent a thug to the porridge shed to make trouble!" ”
"There is such a thing, is there any royal law?!" Elegy narrowed his eyes, and he was angry with this legendary Zhang Yuanwai, the lives of the people are so sad, they still want to make a fortune with these, how can she tolerate such a person?
Although she was angry, Elegy still had a doubt, she asked: "Why didn't Xie Tiancheng arrest that Zhang Yuanwai, he took advantage of the natural disaster to make a black fortune, which completely constituted a crime." (To be continued......)
