From the moment she saw Huang Qiong riding on a horse, Li Xiu, who was riding in the carriage with Lin Hanyan, her eyes were a little red, and since that night, Huang Qiong has not set foot in the inner house once. Although Li Xiu also knows that he is about to become a wife again, it is right not to meet him. But if you say that you can let it go, it's really difficult.

When he saw his former lover again, Li Xiu was unusually lonely in his heart. Looking at Li Xiu, whose eyes were red, Lin Hanyan sighed slightly. In these days, Li Xiu, who has lost a lot of weight, is tightly hugged in his arms. And Li Xiu, who was leaning on Lin Hanyan's arms, said sadly: "Hanyan, these days, why doesn't he even come to see me once?" Does he really hate me that much? ”

Listening to Li Xiu's tone, there was an indescribable desolation. Lin Hanyan could only reassure: "It's not that he doesn't want you, it's just that he knows that he can't be like you anymore." This is respect for you and for the festivals. Sister-in-law, you don't have to think too much. It's fate, it's not up to you, me or him to decide. ”

Lin Hanyan's persuasion, but Li Xiu didn't say anything. just leaned quietly in Lin Hanyan's arms, but his eyes kept looking at Huang Qiong's back in front of him. It took a long time to retract his affectionate eyes and let out a long sigh. This sigh contains indescribable sadness.

Liu Hu's hometown is not behind the city of Zhengzhou, but in Mizhou, which is subordinate to Zhengzhou Prefecture. Although Mizhou is not far from Guancheng County, where Zhengzhou Prefecture is located, it is nearly 100 miles. Most of the entourage were women. In addition, Huang Qiong consciously controlled the speed of travel, so the road that day was only halfway through.

In fact, this time, Huang Qiong's true intention is not as simple as she says. His real intention was to take this opportunity to check the implementation of the aftermath charter and the situation of the exiles. Huang Qiong didn't fully believe the situation reported by the Zhengzhou government, and he had to see it with his own eyes to rest assured.

When it comes to not believing in the Zhengzhou government's report, it's not that he doesn't believe Su Jin and Jian Yong. But Huang Qiong knows that the situation in their hands may not be true. Chinese officialdom has inherited thousands of years of tradition, and there are some methods to fool the above, and the methods are endless. These two are in Fucheng and may not really have a comprehensive understanding of the situation.

If you want to see the real situation, especially the implementation of the county, you have to come out. Especially at present, the imperial court and Henan Road, all the officials who are supplemented for the Zhengzhou government have been put in place. In the case that he still does not understand the character of these officials, Huang Qiong has to take a look at the implementation of some things with his own eyes to rest assured.

Huang Qiong, who has experience in her previous life, also knows that if she sits in a prince's sedan chair, wears a prince's dress, and comes down to check accompanied by Su Jin and Jian Yong, I am afraid that she will not be able to see the real situation at all. Just as Jian Yong said at the beginning, when you go down in a sedan chair, it invisibly forms a barrier separating you from the common people, and that ordinary person dares to tell you the truth?

Therefore, Huang Qiong took this opportunity to follow the group lightly. That is, take a few women out to relax, and you can check the implementation below. It's just that along the way, looking at the withered livelihood of the villages I saw along the way, the dishes and rags on the faces of the people, and the thatched houses everywhere, and the scene of rarely seeing brick houses, Huang Qiong's face was very ugly.

After a day's journey, when it was dark, he was not able to rush to Liu Hu's hometown. At dusk, after rushing to a market town, looking at the somewhat tired girls, Huang Qiong still decided to stop and rest for the night before setting off. There is plenty of time, and Huang Qiong doesn't plan to rush to the night. However, considering safety, Huang Qiong asked Liu Hu to charter a whole inn.

After a hasty dinner, Huang Qiong's mood was obviously a little low. The original intention of going for a walk in the market town disappeared with the fact that a group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses had gathered outside the inn. Back in the guest room, Huang Qiong sat quietly on the chair, but her mind was chaotic.

Although he also knows that it will not happen overnight to restore Zhengzhou. But what she saw along the way during the day today gave Huang Qiong an extraordinary sense of urgency in her heart. A little tired pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Zhengzhou still has a long way to go to recover its vitality." ”

Just when I was sitting in the room, thinking about how to make Zhengzhou recover as soon as possible. Lin Hanyan's arrival made Huang Qiong's heart relax slightly. It's just that after Lin Hanyan entered Huang Qiong's room, her face was very ugly. Obviously, she was also deeply stimulated by what she saw along the way.

Seeing that Lin Hanyan's face was a little bad, Huang Qiong, who knew her temperament, could only hug her to her knee with a wry smile and kiss her little face: "It's all over, you don't have to think too much." There are some things that can't be said that the second brother is not responsible, but if he is to blame, he has also been wronged. ”

"The people's livelihood under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou Mansion has withered to such a point, and the second brother is indeed the first to bear the brunt. However, there are other people behind him, so he can't be blamed. Besides, you and your second brother are just in the name of a husband and wife. Even if he is responsible, what does it have to do with you? ”

Originally, when he knew that Lin Hanyan was going to come out with him, he knew that although the King of Shu was too busy to take care of himself, he might not be really dead on the Zhengzhou side. Although Princess Duan was rescued unexpectedly, she is now delirious. When you will be able to wake up, no one knows. What really poses a fatal threat to the King of Shu is the woman in her arms at this moment.

Once Lin Hanyan enters Beijing, it is equivalent to putting the last nail on the coffin board of the King of Shu. Although Huang Qiong doesn't know much about the King of Shu, he can see the whole picture at a glance. Judging from these things done by the King of Shu, he is definitely the kind of person who will never give up until the last moment. As for the dogs outside King Jing's Mansion, Huang Qiong knew that they had not been cleared up until now.

When traveling in a group, it is impossible to bring too many soldiers and horses. With a few guards at most, it's already pretty good. Lin Hanyan and Li Xiu are just ordinary women, once the King of Shu is dying in Zhengzhou. Taking advantage of the fact that there are not many people around you, it is really too dangerous to give yourself a fatal fight.

But Lin Hanyan insisted on going, especially after hearing that Huang Qiong was going to take He Yao and several women with her, she was even more determined. At that time, I looked at Lin Hanyan, who refused to give up, and knew that she had not been able to take a step out of the palace for several years, and I was afraid that Huang Qiong, who had already been restrained enough. Although it is also a little distressing, it is a matter of disagreeing.

Fortunately, after He Yao learned about this, he also told Huang Qiong that Duan Jin was there, which was enough to protect Lin Hanyan. If he is still a little worried, he can also make a temporary cameo appearance as Lin Hanyan's guard. Considering He Yao's skills, and she has mentioned Duan Jin's kung fu more than once. Although there was still some apprehension in her heart, Huang Qiong nodded in the end.

Along the way, when I saw the ragged farmers along the way, as well as the low and dilapidated grass houses, Lin Hanyan, who was kind-hearted, was not in a very good mood, and Huang Qiong also saw it. It's just that in front of Liu Hu and a few guards, Huang Qiong, who still needs to avoid suspicion, has no way to comfort her. It wasn't until dinner was over that I had time to appease myself.

Just listening to his words, Lin Hanyan said with a pale face: "No, I know the situation in the house." Those people were not rampant after the government was controlled, and in the second year we arrived in Zhengzhou, people began to file complaints. I've spoken to your second brother more than once to ask him to restrain these people. But your second brother has always turned a deaf ear. ”

"It was your second brother's connivance that eventually developed to the point of no return. And I know better that among the people's wealth accumulated by those people, in fact, your second brother takes the lion's share. This is also the reason why your second brother has been indulging them. At present, the people of Zhengzhou are so poor, this is all your second brother's sin. ”

"Your second brother and I are indeed husband and wife in name, but after all, we are still husband and wife, and your second brother has not treated me badly in life. King Jing's home has always been in my charge. On the jade plate of Zongzheng Temple, I am still the princess of Jing. Over the years, I have eaten bells, worn gold and silver, and worn silk and satin in the four seasons, all of which are the people's fat and people's ointment. ”

Lin Hanyan, who is very kind-hearted, was obviously stimulated by what he saw today. Snuggled in Huang Qiong's arms, thinking that these sins were all done by her ex-husband, tears couldn't stop flowing. She had also heard before that after King Jing became a vassal in Zhengzhou Mansion, because of King Jing's rampant conquest, the people who tossed were not able to make a living.

But in the past, I only heard about it, and it wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I knew how many sins King Jing had done over the years. As a beautiful lady and a talented woman, Lin Hanyan naturally knows that although this Zhengzhou Mansion is close to the Yellow River, it is also affected by the floods of the Yellow River. However, with the Bianzhou Mansion to the east, it has always been a rich place on Henan Road. In general, in this kind of region, people's livelihood is very rich.

But what I saw today was that the people along the road were dressed in rags, and all of them were yellow and thin. There is not a single brick house in Shili Eight Villages, and there are dilapidated grass houses everywhere. Especially seeing those children who were already so cold, but still had no winter clothes, and even played barefoot, Lin Hanyan's heart was like a knife.

"Lord Wang, I know you left me some money. I want to take it all out and do some good deeds, which can be regarded as repaying the sins that King Jing's Mansion has done over the years. I also know that this amount of money is not even a dime a dozen compared to what your second brother has looted over the years. But what I saw today made me feel that the money was really hot to hold. If you take it out, it can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people. ”

Listening to Lin Hanyan's thoughts, Huang Qiong kissed her little mouth with some distress and said, "Hanyan, you don't have to think too much, just keep the money for you." You can rest assured that the current situation in Zhengzhou is only temporary. The current prefect of Zhengzhou and Tongzhi are both Qing officials and capable members, and the father exempted Zhengzhou from taxes and labor for three years. ”

"Zhengzhou's foundation is still good among the provinces of Henan. Although it is not as good as the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, it is basically a drought and flood to ensure the harvest. Now that the land has been basically returned, as long as God opens his eyes in the past two years, the Yellow River does not flood heavily, and it will only take a year or two to recover, and there is no need to worry too much about the smoke. ”

It's just that to Huang Qiong's surprise, Lin Hanyan was unusually insistent on his decision: "What the government does is the government's business, but I won't ask for any money." I don't know that the money has ruined the people's families, and there is blood on them. If you use it, you will go to hell after death. Lord, I beg you. ”

Looking at Lin Hanyan's firm little face, Huang Qiong pondered slightly. Lin Hanyan donated even the money she left for her. But after returning to Beijing, the emperor naturally would not let King Jing's family go hungry. Coupled with his own subsidy, he will definitely not let the smoke suffer. Lin Hanyan is a stubborn person, since she insists, it can be regarded as following her wishes.
