Hearing the words of the overseer at the dinner table, Feng Taishou's chest was sullen, and the expression on Fang's face was half confused and half annoyed. The loose muscles on the side of his mouth twitched slightly, and he helplessly squeezed out a fake and dry smile:

"Hehe, whatever the Overseer says, it's not a big deal. When the disaster occurred, many houses were crushed by the snow, and the officials and their subordinates went to the disaster site to deal with the collapse and rescue the trapped people. ”

"Oh?"

Leng Qingtang's sly eyes, the ridicule from the corners of his mouth was not easy to detect.

He sat awe-inspiring on the main seat, his appearance was as beautiful as a fairy, and the four-cornered python official uniform was very much like an elegant and beautiful landscape painting, which aroused people's infinite reverie.

Worn out by a hard object? Hehe, the ghost knows that it is completely impossible

In fact, as soon as he entered the gate of Qiling County, Leng Qingtang noticed that the official uniforms of the officials were different.

Those holes and tears are obviously caused by a sharp object piercing or slipping through the fabric, how can it be said to be worn out?

Feng Taishou is lying! Leng Qingtang knew this, but there was no trace on the surface.

The deep eyes suddenly changed, and he was facing the clear gaze of Gu Yunxi beside him.

She is also maintaining a state of silence, no longer having all kinds of frizz of Fang Cai, and there is no expression on the little face of the melon seeds.

After eating, Feng Taishou reported the disaster relief related matters to Leng Qingtang, and everyone got up and prepared to go back to their respective rooms to rest.

Gu Yunxi lowered his head and walked quickly, passing by Feng Taishou's side, his feet suddenly fell into chaos, and his petite body instantly fell on his body.

"Your Excellency!"

"Be careful"

The two servants stepped forward first, and when Gu Yunxi had just left Feng Taishou's body, they spread their arms to protect their boss.

"Oops! Small faux pas, small faux pas......"

Gu Yunxi took a few steps back, and opened a distance from Feng Taishou, his delicate and beautiful facial features tensed, and he put on a blank face. And there was a slight sneer in those shining eyes, and he looked straight at Feng Taishou, clenched his fists and said:

"The little one is unsteady on his feet, and he has no intention of ramming the adult. Offended, offended......"

Feng Taishou's face was stiff and gloomy, he held his injured left limb with one hand, and stared at the infinitely disgusting little fan guard on the opposite side without saying a word, his eyes suddenly radiated wisps of coldness, and he hated it.

The officials around him were also gearing up and showing fierce faces, as if they were just waiting for Feng Taishou to give an order, they would immediately pounce on Gu Yunxi, flatten her on the spot, and vent their anger for their Taishou.

Leng Qingtang stood up at the door of the dining room, indifferently looking at what was happening at the table, and snickered unconsciously:

Stinky girl, worthy of being Bendu's apprentice, is really ghostly

Leng Qingtang pretended to be angry, pretending to reprimand sharply:

"Yun Guan'er, why did you get drunk before you drank alcohol?! I will no longer make amends to Lord Feng! ”

"My lord, please forgive the little one, don't be the same as the small one."

Gu Yunxi bowed his hand again and bowed deeply to Feng Taishou.

Feng Taishou was unwilling but helpless, so he had to swallow a bad breath, pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly, and said:

"Out of the way. The overseer and his entourage have a hard journey, so go back to the room early to rest, and the official will arrange the reception after dinner. ”

Leng Qingtang raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, which was meaningful and complicated:

"There's Lord Lawron. However, the governor has only just arrived in Qiling, so he should not sit idle, but want to walk outside and observe the people's feelings. I don't know Lord Feng, would you like to go with Bendu? ”

"How can you not be willing to do things within the duties of the lower officials? Overseer, please. ”

Feng Taishou raised his right hand and made a gesture of "please".

When Zhan Qing's figure was far away from his sight, he withdrew his gaze, a pair of eyes were squinted gloomily, and a wrinkled old face silently surfaced a wicked look.

Leng Qingtang, Gu Yunxi, Lu Rong and Taishou

The people of the government walked out of the palace.

After walking a short way, they walked into a narrow alley. It is not much different from the situation I witnessed when I first entered Qiling, most of the houses here have been repaired neatly, and the people do not have to worry about life.

When passing by a private house, a white-haired old man suddenly knelt down in front of the door, and shouted to Feng Tai, who was at the head of the team, and shouted:

"Lord Feng, you are an old life-saving benefactor!"

Feng Taishou looked surprised, walked a few steps to his side, supported the old man with his right hand, and said:

"The old man can't be like this, please get up, please get up!"

The old man folded his back, got up tremblingly, and looked closely at Feng Taishou's dim eyes with tears flashing:

"My lord, I have been alone for many years, with no children and no daughters, if it weren't for you, this white disaster would definitely kill me!"

The excited voice attracted more people around to watch. When they saw Feng Tai Punctuality, they kept talking to each other:

"Lord Feng is a good official! In this disaster, he sent us two taels of silver and rice grain. Without him, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to survive this year! ”

"Yes, yes! My house was crushed by the heavy snow, and Master Feng brought people to bring coal and arranged for us to live temporarily in the mountain temple, so that our family did not freeze to death on the side of the road. Soon our family will be able to move into the brick house."

"Lord Feng is a great and kind man......"

People surrounded the procession and praised it. As he spoke, some people's eyes flashed with extraordinary excitement, while others wept with gratitude.

This situation and this scene made Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi's hearts shake a lot. At the same time, the doubts that had accumulated in the hearts of the two of them for a long time were also strongly confirmed because of this private visit.

Returning to the mansion, Leng Qingtang called Gu Yunxi into his room.

Through the window, Gu Yunxi noticed that there were servants wandering outside from time to time, two or three figures back and forth, cast on the thin and white window paper, dark and blurry.

Gu Yunxi tiptoed to move the chair, leaned closer to the overseer, and asked him in a low voice:

"Overseer, are we being targeted again?"

Leng Qingtang rolled his eyes disdainfully, glanced at the figure that was swaying outside, and after smiling calmly, his gaze withdrew, looked deeply at Gu Yunxi, and replied in the same low voice:

"This trip to Jiang An is very dangerous, is the girl afraid?"

Gu Yunxi smiled, lowered his head slightly and shook slightly, his cheeks faintly reddened.

Leng Qingtang was happily moved, and against her forehead, two big hands held her small hand, and the blazing temperature in the palm of her hand was conveying her heart to her:

Girl, I'm here, don't be afraid......

"Tell me, you deliberately got out of the car on the way to the government office, what did you find from those officials?"

Gu Yunxi was startled, distanced himself from the overseer, and sighed incredulously:

"Y-You actually knew then?"

"You were taught by me, what you think in your heart, as a master, you naturally know."

Looking at each other, Leng Qingtang's sly eyes smiled lightly, with a sense of pride.

Gu Yunxi looked out the window at this time, looking unusually vigilant.

Except for the two or three figures wandering from time to time, there was nothing unusual. She leaned her head close to the Overseer, and said thoughtfully:

"Overseer, I suspect that those officials are not the original officials of the Taishou Mansion."

Leng Qingtang tilted his head and listened carefully, and his lips showed a sense of glad approval:

"Go on......"

"When we came, we got information that Feng Heng here was a corrupt official, and everyone spurned him. Now when I look at the inspection, he is a philanthropist and deeply admired by the people.

There has always been no mistake in our Dongchang intelligence network, unless there is a possibility, that is, Feng knew that the Qin mission would come, and deliberately colluded with the local people to cheat! ”

Gu Yunxi's eloquent statement looked calm and confident. At the end of the words, his expression turned a little confused.

Not really

She was too suspicious.

Local officials live in drunkenness, drunken dreams and death all day long, and do not care about the life and death of the Li people.

Occasionally, when the imperial court visited the emperor's envoy to observe the people's feelings, the usual prevarication trick used by local officials was to buy the people's hearts with silver taels in advance, and deliberately stage a tearful drama for the emperor when the envoy came.

When the passing Qincha leaves, as soon as the form is finished, what should they do.

Exactly: the pomp and circumstance of the officials, the people miss the people, and everyone is in charge of everyone

Leng Qingtang couldn't help but nod after listening to Gu Yunxi's analysis of the entire paragraph. Seeing that she frowned in confusion, he comforted her and said:

"Don't worry, whether it's a fraud or not, I'll find out when the secret guard comes back later, you can continue to talk first."

Gu Yunxi nodded obediently and said solemnly:

"Initially, I was suspicious of Feng Taishou's true identity for two reasons. First, the officials have served in the Taishou Mansion for many years, and they should have made the most suitable official uniforms, which will never be as we see.

Second, I deliberately bumped into Feng Taishou at the dinner table just now to test his injured left arm. If a person with a broken tendon is hit by someone who has injured his limb, the first reaction must be full of tension and pain.

However, he didn't have these expressions, but he was still in the mood to be angry at me, which made me think of his bandaged arm...... Is there really any real injury? ”

At the end of the sentence, Gu Yunxi's eyes narrowed, and his gaze gradually narrowed.

Quiet, she cast her soliciting eyes on the Overseer, expecting him to judge.

He was staring at her, his clear face with obvious relief.

For a moment when his eyes were looking at each other, Gu Yunxi saw his face from the pair of deep black eyes, two small shadows, so clear and charming.

Her body shook slightly, and then her face became hot, and she stumbled:

"I ...... If I say something wrong, you point it out and ......"

Leng Qingtang smiled softly, grabbed her little hand and held it in the palm of his hand, and his soft voice revealed a little excitement and a little pampering charm:

"You're right! I am happy, you have made progress in just half a year, which shows that you were not wrong when you were a teacher in Gongyuan. In time, you will do more! ”

"It's not like you're teaching well."

Gu Yunxi tilted his head shyly, his lips squirmed, and he was about to say something more, when a "tuk" sound sounded outside the door.

"Overseer, it's me, Lu Rong."

Without waiting for Leng Qingtang to speak first, the second block outside took the lead in reporting to his home.

"Come in."

Leng Qingtang let go of Gu Yunxi, and raised his voice to the door.

When Lu Rong came in, he brought two people, who were the secret guards who had been sent out to inquire about the news earlier.

The two of them didn't have time to remove their wigs, wigs, and other disguises, so they bowed their knees in front of the Overseer:

"See the overseer, the two subordinates visited several key roads in Qiling and heard some news."

"Speak." Leng Qingtang leaned on the table with one elbow and closed his eyes and listened carefully.

A Path:

"Back to the Governor, his subordinates visited some people, and confirmed that during the five years when Taishou Feng Heng was an official in Qiling, he did a lot of evil things such as stealing and plundering, and fishing and flesh and neighbors."

Before the words fell, the other person answered, and continued:

"But a few days ago, a white disaster struck Qiling County overnight, causing many houses to collapse and fields to be destroyed. That Feng Taishou would lead all the officials in the house to the streets every day, and give money, rice, grain, and charcoal from door to door. The people laughed behind their backs and said: When Feng Heng slipped and fell out, he not only broke his arm, but also broke his brain, so he suddenly changed his sex and became a good person. ”
