After hearing the news, Han Yu was stunned at first, and then nodded: "Let people watch the door, tell the concierge to pay attention, and when the second master comes back, quickly report it." Then ask the kitchen to prepare food, prepare something that is easy to restrain and will not taste good after a long time. ”

Mother Sun had to order her to go out and order, and she also instructed everyone to take care of the door.

Although this sudden news startled Han Xiao, she immediately suppressed the worry in her heart. Before she came, she knew that Dexian was not very peaceful, and she could hear the news of the Turkic invasion of the border almost every year. Now that I think about it, last year even Dahe had a snow disaster, let alone the Turkic side?

They were mainly nomadic, and in case of famine, they could only wait until the ice broke and ran to the border to fight the famine. Although it was the first time that he and Bai Anheng encountered this incident so closely, in the end, the two of them were not in Dexian County, here in Hexian County, as long as the Turks did not make a detour to raid here, the two of them would have no worries.

Han Xiao ordered someone to take care of the portal, and he only waited for Bai Anheng to come back about anything. When he had finished giving the order, he went back to the house, took the letters he had read before, and pondered how to write them back.

——————————

Bai Anheng was busy for a full day and a night, and did not come back until the next day when the sky was getting brighter.

Seeing that his face was tired and his spirit was not good, Han Yu didn't want to disturb his rest, so he hurriedly ordered someone to pack up the futon and let him rest for a while - wait for an hour or so, and it would be time to call him up again.

The matter of Dexian being attacked by the Turks, although there will be some mentions in the surrounding places, they are not too serious in the end. After all, maybe for people like Bai Anheng, who just came here this year, they are still a little worried after knowing the news, but the people who have lived nearby for a long time have long been used to it.

After the snowstorm, it is nothing more than those Turks who have died and can't even fill their bellies to grab food and women, and go back to feed their families.

Even Bai Anheng, although he was busy for a few days, he still took a break and continued to be busy with things in Hexian County.

——————————

On April 28, Han Xiao received an invitation from a local family, saying that his old lady was celebrating her 60th birthday and invited Han Xiao to come over to cheer. Accepting the post, Han Yu was preparing a birthday gift for his birthday, and while waiting for Bai Anheng to come back, he talked to him.

Hearing that she was going over, Bai Anheng nodded and instructed: "This Wang family is the head snake of Hexian County, just be cautious in your words and deeds in the past." If they ask for anything, you don't have to respond, just be vague. ”

In the past few days, he has begun to investigate the collusion between foreign officials and businessmen below. These people are all local people in Hexian County, and there is no shortage of shadows of these soil emperors, I am afraid that this time I will take birthday leave, and it is true to find out. After all, these people invited themselves several times, but almost all of them were pushed by themselves, even if they used to socialize, they only stayed for half an hour and left the table, so they hit Han Xiao with their ideas.

Han Xiao nodded, although she hadn't gone through these things seriously, she had heard a lot: "I will deal with it carefully, just rest assured." ”

——————————

After waiting for two days, it was the serious day of the birthday, and Han Yu came out of the backyard of the government and rushed to the Wang family in a car.

In May, it is the early summer scene here in Hexian County, the grass and trees in the city are flourishing, and the climate is much cooler than in Beijing, Han Yu sits in the car, looking at the scenery around him from time to time - although there is really no scenery to see in this city, but it is much happier than when he went out in Beijing before.

Looking at the daughter of the gentry family who rode horses and traveled with their subordinates on the street, Han Yu sighed lightly in his heart - if she had also grown up in this city since she was a child, maybe she would be able to learn to ride a horse, and she would be able to ride a horse in a row before she went out.

All the way to Wang's house, I saw that there were a lot of cars and horses parked at the gate of Wang's house. The carriage with white lanterns arrived, and the sharp-eyed subordinates went all the way in to report, and after a while, the sons and daughters-in-law of the royal family came out, along with several women of the Wang family.

Han Xiao got out of the car, greeted everyone with a smile, followed these women all the way inside, and first said hello to the old birthday star who was going to be a birthday.

She knew that she had sent someone out of Lu to inquire about the news earlier, this old lady had just passed her fifty-seventh birthday last year, and she would be sixty this year? It seems that his children are really anxious, and they can't let their mother live a long life earlier.

Han Xiao has seen him before to receive gifts under the pretext of doing birthday and birthday events, but now he is visiting him for a birthday to inquire about things, but it is the first time that Han Xiao has met him.

The guests and hosts sat down on both sides, and the old birthday star who wanted to "be a longevity" just showed his side, and only said that he was not in good spirits, so he asked someone to help him down. The royal daughter-in-law was left to sit with him.

Although the women sitting together also had some family members of the eunuchs, Han Xiao looked at them carefully and saw that most of them were still family members of the local gentry. Han Xiao looked at them secretly, and they also looked at Han Xiao secretly. Because of the difference in status and the fact that Bai Anheng has been too busy with things since he took office, Han Yu has never found time to go out and socialize.

Even when I went out, I only went to my colleague's house. It's the first time like this today, and it's no wonder that others will arrange such a place for the two sides to meet.

Knowing that someone was looking at him, Han Xiao only smiled and sat on the seat, facing the stage and listening to the local actors singing. Not to mention, although the tone and lyrics are completely different from those in Beijing, and some of the lyrics are vulgar and exposed, they can be regarded as interesting, just to pass the time.

——————————

Han Xiao was around with a group of local gentry and their families, and Bai Anheng was not idle. Today, with Bai Anheng's order, he quietly went to Zhaozhuang, seven hundred miles away from the county seat, and took down the local security chief, the township chief, and the grain merchants who colluded with him, and stopped all the people in the village, and the news could not be transmitted back to the county seat within half a day.

With the news brought back by his subordinates, Bai Anheng was so angry that his face turned blue. This time, the grain brought out of Beijing was distributed to all the townships, counties and towns, and these people who colluded with the grain merchants dared to secretly exchange it! For example, if there are ten stones of grain, they will secretly take the old and even moldy grain in exchange for at least four stones, and the remaining sixty percent will secretly steal out thirty percent, and then mix sand, stones and other things into it to fill the original weight.

Originally, before Bai Anheng came, he meant that if they only secretly deducted one or two percent, they would turn a blind eye, after all, he also knew that if he didn't leave some benefits for these people, it would be difficult for him to do it. This is not only him, but even the emperor knows it.

But now they are so rampant, how can he bear it?!

Within one day, all the people involved were taken down by him, and they were interrogated at that time, and then sent to Huan County overnight after the interrogation. Bai Anheng didn't even rest, and rushed to the prison where he was oppressing people overnight and arraigned the prisoners.

Han Xiao listened to the drama and returned home, and heard that Bai Anheng was busy, so he instructed the kitchen to prepare food for him, pack it and send it over. After returning to the house to freshen up, he hugged Xue Tuan'er and looked at Xia Cicada who was complaining about fighting with Xia He with a red face.

——

"Is there such a drama in this world? hugged each other and kissed on the stage! ”

Xia He's face was also flushed, and he still raised his eyes and glared at her: "There is a local custom in a place, don't you think it's strange if you don't see those ladies and maids?" ”

"But if this kind of drama is seen by the ladies who haven't gone out yet, how can it be good?!"

"That's someone else's young lady too." Xia He pursed his lips, anyway, people like himself don't have such rules. Not to mention that the ladies who haven't gone out of this scene have never seen it, and even a big girl who follows her wife is unheard of.

Han Xiao touched Xue Tuan'er, who was snoring in his arms, and said with a smile: "Is this how the local drama of the Xu family is?" What are you two angry about? Next time, if you don't like it, I won't take you with me......"

Xia Chan hurriedly pestered her and said with a smile: "Madame can't put off these social things, isn't it even more difficult to serve you if you ask the little girls to go?" It's still the two of us who are older, let's just watch it! ”

Han Xiao chuckled, laughed, and couldn't help yawning: "I may be a little tired from tossing today, let's rest first." ”

Bai Anheng has something to do in the past two days, she knows the road, although she doesn't know the details, but she knows that someone under the road secretly changes food and deducts food, and today he is afraid that he is going to do it while he is dealing with those women. I can't disturb him at this time, so I'll rest first.

asked someone to prepare the futon, Han Xiao went to bed early, and it was not until midnight that he felt that the lights were on outside the house, and he heard the sound of someone walking and talking, and after a while, Bai Anheng walked in.

Seeing that she had been woken up, Bai Anheng leaned against her back and hugged her into his arms: "Woke you up?" Let's sleep a little longer. ”

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, only felt that he couldn't open them, turned around and leaned his head into his arms, and asked in a daze, "Master's business is done?" ”

"Well, you're tired today? I heard that you fell asleep as soon as you came back. ”

"Some, I'm afraid they will be swayed by the car." He replied in a daze, then put his face to his chest and fell asleep again.

Things finally came to a conclusion, and the supply was all put on by them, and Bai Anheng's heart was relieved. If you cut this head, the knife in the back will be easy to cut.

It is said that the new official took office with three fires, but his own fire was sent to his neck and handed to his eyes by this group of things that were not long-sighted, if such things could be handled lightly, he should resign as an official quickly!

The next morning, when Han Yu opened his eyes again, Bai Anheng's figure had long since disappeared. Confused, he got up and asked, "What time is it?" What about the second master? ”

Xia He came in when he heard the sound, and took his clothes and sent them to the bedside: "It's almost right, the second master has already gone to the front, saying that Mrs. was afraid that she was tired yesterday, so let's not let you get up and let you rest." ”
