Under the candlelight, Xin Fei looked concerned. After pregnancy, Xinfei's figure became bloated, her stomach bulged high when she sat in the chair, her face was a little swollen and soft, and she no longer looked cold and sassy back then.

She has always been accustomed to Xinfei caring for herself like a sister, silently supporting herself, in order to marry her, she gave up her position as Long Wei, did not hesitate to turn her face with her teacher, and even resigned from the position of supervisor after pregnancy, and was at home with peace of mind. During this time, she was busy with official business, and she didn't care enough for her, and Siyu was not around, no wonder she lost her temper at herself. I thought that Xin Fei was inconsiderate of herself, and the original willful person was herself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi felt guilty in his heart, moved a chair and sat in front of Xinfei, gently held Xinfei's hand, looked into her eyes, and said apologetically: "During this time, I was annoyed with government affairs, neglected the feelings of the lady, and made the lady feel wronged. ”

Xin Fei's eyes were foggy, and her good words were warm in three winters, and she felt that all the efforts were worth it. Holding Jiang Anyi's hand tightly, Xin Fei said: "You and I are husband and wife, how can we talk about grievances." If you don't think the concubine is troublesome, you might as well listen to it, maybe the concubine can still come up with some ideas. ”

The hand in the palm of his hand was tightened, and He Wenqin's possible revenge must not be said, it would only disturb Xin Fei's heart. Protecting the safety of his family is Jiang Anyi's long-cherished wish, and it is even more incumbent on him to protect his pregnant wife.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Anyi whispered his troubles during this time, "...... There were a lot of things to do after the garrison was settled, and I was not prepared enough in advance, so I thought that it would drag on for a while, and then I would naturally straighten it out when I had the charter. How do you know that the newcomer to Tuntian Ling Lin Qing is a fool who knows how to reach out and do nothing, and the Tun army is making more and more trouble, and several counties on the border have submitted official complaints......"

Sitting in the chair for a long time, Xin Fei felt discomfort in her waist, moved her waist and sat on her side, and the candlelight shone directly on Jiang Anyi's face from behind her. Looking at the familiar eyebrows, Xin Fei had an urge to reach out and touch it, and the warmth came from the palm, and this warmth has always been secreted into her heart. It is the happiest thing to stay with this man who is closest to her life, thinking like this, the corners of Xin Fei's mouth unconsciously smiled.

"Brother Liu advised me to uphold my original heart and punish and suppress, as long as I sincerely serve the people, stabilize the border, and achieve the goals mentioned in the chapter, the Son of Heaven will not really blame even if he reprimands." Jiang Anyi sat in front of his wife, lowered his head, and said softly to the little life in his belly, and when he raised his head by chance, he saw his wife's sweet smile, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and the little awkwardness disappeared without a trace.

Xin Fei said: "Liu Yixing is right, this person sees things clearly, and he is Jiang Lang's help." ”

"But I have some scruples." Jiang Anyi sighed lightly: "When I was in Fuluo County, I sued the county lieutenant, and the records of the government office joined the army because of me; After coming to Huazhou, don't drive Zhang Wenjin to beg to go, Bai Zhiguang was deposed, which has given people the impression that he is strong and difficult to get along with. Lin Qing is a Tuntian order sent by the court, and he is inextricably linked with the Ministry of Industry, if I dismiss him, what will be the face of the court, and will the Son of Heaven doubt my intentions? Besides, the Tun military is involved in military affairs, and if I forcibly intervene in it, I will commit a taboo, and the imperial history of the DPRK and China will definitely impeach me. ”

Jiang Anyi's brows furrowed, the scars on his eyebrows were gently raised, like a sharp sword out of its sheath and piercing the void, Xin Fei withdrew her hand and gently stroked her husband's eyebrows to smooth the wrinkled pimples. Xin Fei chuckled and sneered: "In the past, Jiang Lang was called a 'second stunned man' by the officialdom and was not afraid, why has he become greedy and ridiculed today?" ”

Gluttony and ridicule, from "The Story of Songchang Building", now this record is spread all over the world, Songchang Building has become a famous spot in Lizhou, for her husband's masterpiece, Xin Fei is familiar with it.

Jiang Anyi's expression was condensed by Xin Fei's words, when he dared to act against the blackmailing officials, he shot at the family who concealed the fields, and complained about the soldiers who died in Huangshaguan, and when he saw the grievances, he would be regarded as the "second stunned" of the officialdom by the ministers.

Seeing Jiang Anyi in deep thought, Xin Fei soothed her hands and feet, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Jiang Anyi's hand. Jiang Anyi was blankly brought to his mouth, "hot", in Xinfei's exclamation, Jiang Anyi's lips had been scalded.

Jiang Anyi remembered the compromise, hypocrisy, and light after coming to Huazhou, these changes are rooted in the position of the history of the Huazhou Thorn, the twenty-four-year-old Zhengwupin Thorn History, and it is very likely that he will visit the prime minister in the future and leave his name in history. It was this temptation that made Jiang Anyi afraid of taking the wrong step and taking the wrong path, learning from the reckless "second stunned" to the "official oil", Jiang Anyi thought of Lin Qing, if he wanted to become such a person, he would rather not go to the church to worship his name and leave history.

"The Son of Heaven is about to use troops to the north, and in addition to needing money and food, he also needs peace in all directions. Huazhou is a necessary place for the eastward expansion of the Western Regions, and the stability of Huazhou has become particularly important at this time, so Jiang Lang can let go of his hands and feet to rectify the garrison, which is exactly what the Son of Heaven wants you to do. ”

Xin Fei's words made Jiang Anyi pause, not that Xin Fei is much stronger than Jiang Anyi, this is about experience. The word experience is light, but it is the accumulation of time, personal experience and understanding and even flesh and blood lessons. Xin Fei has been grinding in Longwei for many years, running everywhere all the year round, seeing more than Jiang Anyi, and understanding people's hearts thoroughly, so it is easy for her to come to the same opinion as Liu Yixing.

Jiang Anyi's eyes flashed with excitement, and Xin Fei's words strengthened his confidence. Standing up and pacing two steps in the house, Jiang Anyi said: "In a few days, I will personally go to Hecheng County to punish the troublemakers according to the law." ”

Xin Fei said with a smile: "Jiang Lang is a civil official, but he is a military general, he has to charge into battle by himself in everything, you are the Lord of the Assassin Shi, why bother to come forward in person in everything, you must always leave some credit for your subordinates." ”

Jiang Anyi feigned anger and said: "Okay, you actually scolded me for being a reckless man, then you are Mrs. Reckless." ”

Xin Fei's words reminded him, and after a moment of silence, Jiang Anyi said: "I have already made up my mind about this matter, but I still need to discuss it with Fang Beijia and Hua Sima, so don't fall into the mouth." ”

Xin Fei stood up and walked to the side of the bed, she didn't ask Jiang An if she would be released, because she saw that Jiang Lang, who was calm and confident, was back.

…………

"Ah", Lin Qing let out an exclamation and woke up from his sleep. Pushing away the arm that was pressing on his body, Lin Qing sat up, lit the candle on the table, the dirty clothes on his body were already sweaty, poured a cup of cold tea from the table and drank it, his heart was still "pounding".

Xinna's concubine Xiaocui asked in a daze on the bed, "Master, I have a nightmare again." ”

After getting up and changing clothes, Xiaocui was already asleep, but Lin Qing didn't feel the slightest sleep. Sitting on the chair next to the table, the crisp bumping sound seemed to still linger in his mind, it was the sound of Jiang Thorn Shi slamming the tea cup in the lobby of the government office, and now it has become his nightmare, lingering.

The candle shadow swayed, jumping in Lin Qing's eyes, although he had comforted him countless times that he didn't have to be afraid, but the prestige of Jiang Tingshi's "two stunned" was piled up with countless official hats, how could Lin Qing not worry about becoming a member of the reputation forged.

Lin Qing is forty-one years old this year, at the age of twenty-seven, he was the second and first, and he stayed in Sinong Temple for 14 years, because he came from a humble background, there was no backstage, he was cautious in the yamen, greeted his boss, and flattered his colleagues. A thousand taels of silver, in Beijing, is just a few meals for some people, but for Lin Qing, it is more than ten years of savings.

Beijing officials boil qualifications, foreign appointments make money, don't look at Tuntian Ling is only an official on the seventh grade, but the power is not small. There are more than 20,000 hectares of Tuntian in the six Tuntian counties of Hecheng, Hecheng, Yiding, Jingyuan, Huangren, Linsha and Yantu, and there are hundreds of taels of silver for seeds, animal power, equipment, husbandry, drawing, storage and transportation. Lin Qing's eyes glanced under the bed, the ebony box was already full, and it was 1,400 taels of silver inside, and it was only two months after coming to Huazhou, and the money he spent was back.

Lord Assassin Shi is dissatisfied with himself, Lin Qing feels very aggrieved, as the saying goes, it is unreasonable for Xiucai to meet soldiers, those soldiers and ruffians in Tuntian come to besiege the Tuntian Yamen at every turn, and treat the Yamen as their own vegetable field, and they can come when they want, which is really hateful. Lord Assassin Shi not only did not restrain the troops, but blamed himself for his disadvantage, relying on the dozens of people in the yamen alone, what could he do.

Lin Qing twisted his beard and groaned, Jiang Tingshi said that he was going to come to Tuntian Yamen to inspect, and he would settle down during this time, don't let him get the handle, this Lord Tingshi launched a brute attack, and he really couldn't stop it. To appease the troublesome soldiers as soon as possible, Lin Qing rolled his eyes, as long as he appeased a few commanders and commanders of the tuntian, he could hold down those troublesome soldiers by borrowing their hands.

The thought of separating the food from his own bowl made Lin Qing feel a little painful. Only one and a half percent of the grain, equipment, and animal power distributed by themselves were deducted, and they left 30% of these soldiers and ruffians before distributing them to the garrison soldiers, so that the garrison soldiers would gather to make trouble. These people who should be killed not only did not restrain but connived at the troops to make trouble, which is to get a piece of the pie. Greed is insufficient, Lin Qing gritted his teeth, he will talk to them tomorrow, at most, let them give them half of the benefits, otherwise everyone will die together.

As soon as the candle flower jumped, Lin Qing was taken aback, these soldiers and ruffians were easy to handle when they saw the money, but the two deputy orders around him were a little uncertain. The right deputy Ling Chen Kecheng is a pedantic scholar, a gentleman can be bullied, and it is easy to deal with him; Ning Qingzheng, the deputy commander of the left, is the son of Ning Ze, the servant of the Ministry of Works, but he is a shrewd person, he went to Ningfu to do some points when he went out of Beijing, it is said that this Ning Gongzi should be a family with himself, but this Ning deputy order does not take any property, why is this? The Ning family traded with the Western Regions, and it made sense not to put this bit of silver in their eyes, but the deputy who didn't take the silver always made Lin Qing feel uneasy.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Qing had an idea, two days ago, I heard Ning Qingzheng mention that May 16 is the seventy-second birthday of Mrs. Ning, and at that time, prepare a generous gift to send it, as long as the Ning family accepts it, it will be a fish that has swallowed the bait, and it will never be able to break free anymore.
