Chapter 178: Collusion

"Miss, don't worry."

It turned out that he missed his uncle, Qing Chan couldn't help laughing, and said: "From Kyoto to Daxing, the journey will take two days, and Lord Jin has just arrived, and there will be a letter back in two days." ”

"yes." Ning Zhao smiled slightly and said, "It's me who worries too much. ”

Jin Yuan has a shadow by his side, he will definitely not encounter danger, thinking like this, Ning Zhao's heart also let go a little, looked at the embroidery in his hand, smiled, put it in the basket, rubbed his wrist, and said:

"I'm really not making this material, it's been three days since I made this point."

Qing Chan also laughed, picked up the embroidery made by Ning Zhao, looked at it carefully, and said: "Miss beginner, it's already very good to be able to do this, when I did it, my fingers were pricked." ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhao looked down at his hand and said with a smile: "In this way, I'm not bad?" ”

Qing Cicada nodded, put the embroidery away, and urged: "It's already late in the morning, Miss, you have to go to the hospital early tomorrow, you should go and rest quickly." ”

Ning Zhao was really a little tired, Jin Yuan was not there, he hadn't slept well in the past few days, he nodded immediately, got up and went back to the house.

"Your Excellency." A ray of light came in through the window, and Jin Yuan opened his eyes sharply and looked out of the door.

He simply got up and got out of bed, opened the door, Liuying walked in, the door was closed, Jin Yuan walked back to the chair and sat down, a little dry.

Liuying poured him a cup of tea and said, "The officials who went to the banquet yesterday have not been to the county order except for the teaching, and the rest of them have gone. ”

Jin Yuan pressed his faintly aching temples, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The county has come to inspect it, and there are more than a dozen officials, large and small, but only the Nine Rank Sect has not participated, hehe......"

Putting down his hand, Jin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and said: "Collusion between the top and bottom, collusion, if this mental strength is put on resisting foreign enemies, it is really a blessing for the imperial court." ”

However, the reality is not.

All the officials of a city are involved in greedy ink, and outsiders want to intervene, either they are encircled into accomplices, such as Tang Ming, the right attendant of the household department, or they are the enemies of a city.

Human life is not worth much in this world, and killing someone only needs an explanation to directly fool the past.

This may also be the reason why Tang Ming will compromise.

Jin Yuan suddenly remembered Xu You's previous remarks, and said: "Find time to go to Zhang Xing's Mansion to explore, Xu You said that there is an account book, find it for me." ”

Liuying nodded and asked, "My lord wants to visit Daxing City through Zhang Xing today, do you need to be accompanied by his subordinates?" ”

Jin Yuan shook his head, and said with a smile after a while: "You stay, the people sent by the emperor will arrive today, you follow them, you have to do business, and you have to give them a chance to take advantage of loopholes, and they have a chance to do it if there is no one around me." ”

When Liuying heard this, he frowned disapprovingly and said, "My lord, it's not safe for you to be like this. ”

Jin Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "They don't dare to act openly, they won't act rashly before the account book arrives, you just do what I say, find time to get out, go to find the account book, as long as you find the account book, this trip can end early." ”

Ning Zhao was still waiting for him in Kyoto, and he hadn't seen him for three days, although it was not the first time he had left Beijing to do business, but this time Jin Yuan was the most concerned, not knowing that Ning Zhao was also so concerned about himself in Kyoto.

Liuying knew that Jin Yuan would not change it, thinking about it carefully, what Jin Yuan said also made sense, before the account book was exposed, Zhang Xing and these people were unwilling to act blatantly.

After all, they are the second-class members of the imperial court, and there is also this group of people sent by the old emperor, who are dealing with Zhang Xing on the bright side, and they just hurry up to find the account book.

"Subordinates obey." Liuying figured it out, respectfully arched his hand towards Jin Yuan, turned around and left the room.

Jin Yuan sat at the table, his head was still groggy, he hadn't drunk so much wine for a long time, the feeling of a hangover was really uncomfortable, the more uncomfortable it was, the more Jin Yuan missed Ning Zhao who was far away in Kyoto.

If he was at home, Ning Zhao would have prepared the sobering tea a long time ago, and he would be so uncomfortable there.

Thinking about it, Jin Yuan suddenly laughed - when did he become so hypocritical.

When Jin Yuan packed up and went out, Zhang Xing was already waiting outside the post house, and when he saw Jin Yuan coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Jin is okay?" ”

"Yesterday, I saw that the adults were drunk, and the lower officials were still thinking about whether to let Lord Jin have a good rest today, but I didn't expect the adults to wake up."

When Jin Yuan heard this, he quickly waved his hand, looking helpless, and said: "Where, I still have a headache at the moment, Daxing's wine is really strong, I really can't bear it." ”

"Haha......" Zhang Xing laughed, raised his hand and waved his entourage.

A small guy with a tray trotted forward, bowed his head and respectfully handed the tray to Zhang Xing, Zhang Xing picked up the porcelain bowl from above, handed it to Jin Yuan, and said with a smile:

"The lower official heard that Lord Jin had just gotten married, and this time he was drunk and no one served him, so he must have missed his good wife at home, so he ordered someone to prepare a sobering soup, and he should take care of the adults for his wife."

"Lord Zhang is really polite!"

Jin Yuan looked at the decanting soup in front of him, smiled a little brighter, stretched out his hand to take it, raised his head and drank it, and then said: "This taste is really like the craftsmanship of Neiko, Lord Zhang bothered." ”

Zhang Xing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Lord Jin is polite. ”

After that, he looked at the sky and asked, "It's not early, so let's go." ”

Jin Yuan nodded, lifted the hem of his clothes, raised his feet and left, and said with a smile: "I really can't wait to see this great scenery, haha......"

Zhang Xing, the landlord, did a very good job, accompanied Jin Yuan to play around, and had a banquet in the most prosperous restaurant in Daxing at noon, and after a few drinks, Jin Yuan proposed to go to the pipeline site to see.

Of course, Zhang Xing agreed, and after lunch, he took Jin Yuan to the official road to choose a site.

"This section is connected to the side plug, and the bottom is the same as Zhigu Village."

Standing on the high platform, Jin Yuan looked at the vast land, and Zhang Xing's introduction was in his ear, and said: "Lord Jin's proposal to build an official road is really a great achievement for thousands of years, if it is successfully completed, Daxing, Zhigu Village, and Kyoto will be below, which greatly shortens the time for traveling." ”

Jin Yuan just listened, his eyes kept looking at that realm, and after a while, he said with a smile: "This time to build an official road, I just proposed, and the specific matters still rely on the help of virtuous ministers like Lord Zhang, so that they can get a good death." ”

"I have not failed the emperor's trust." Jin Yuan smiled, raised his feet and got off the high platform, and walked back.

Zhang Xing followed by his side, and the two chatted and went back to the post house, at this time it was not early, Zhang Xing sent people back, and made an appointment to continue the tour tomorrow, and then went back to the county mansion.

Jin Yuan walked back to his room, never thinking that Liuying was already waiting in the room, and when he saw him come back, he stepped forward and handed over a letter, saying:

"Lord Chen sent someone to send it, please take a look."

"Lord Chen?" Jin Yuan took the letter and opened it directly.

However, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and finally his face sank completely.

"β€”Tang Ming is dead."
