Ye Qing touched his lower lip and asked Liu Qingyan to see if it was bleeding, and Liu Qingyan, who was full of resentment, snorted angrily: The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, there is nothing to do, dare to be rude next time...... It's really a bite for you.

rubbed his lips casually twice, and no longer cared about the little lady in front of him, after all, the first kiss he came to this world was given to her by mistake.

"Does Zhao Shichun often come to the building?" Ye Qing changed the topic and asked, while Liu Qingyan lowered his head and was busy writing and drawing.

"Where else can he go? Since the accident of Zhao Xuan, the original king of letters, three years ago, he has been a soldier, and he is afraid that he will be accidentally calculated by others in the royal family, so in the past few years, because of Yang Jian, although he is unwilling to stay in Yangzhou, where can he go? Every day, I came over with those officials for recreation, or traveled outside Yangzhou City. Liu said without raising the cigarette butt.

Looking at Liu Qingyan, who was so charming even with his head down, but even his side face was so charming, Ye Qing licked his lips again, and it didn't look like a loss to be bitten just now.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he just got up from the chair and walked to Liu Qingyan again, Liu Qingyan raised his head and glared at Ye Qing vigilantly, afraid that this disciple would become more and more bold and unscrupulous to bully himself.

"Here, this is some information about the transfer envoy Zhao Shu and the prison envoy Shi Ze, the two of them have not dealt with Yang Jian over the years, you must also know, after all, Yang Jian is a member of the Han family, and this Zhao Shu and Shi Ze are also members of the Shi family, so Huainan East Road has seemed peaceful on the surface in the past few years, but in fact, these two groups of people are inseparable." Liu Qingyan pushed Ye Qing, who was about to sit next to her, and motioned to stay away from her, and then sighed and continued: "The people of Yangzhou City, I thought that the arrival of Yang Jian would be able to repair the city wall of Yangzhou, regardless of whether they can resist the iron cavalry of the Jin people, but at least it can make the people in the city feel at ease." But three years have passed, and the walls of Yangzhou City are still leaking everywhere, and they are useless, and there is no defensive effect at all. ”

Looking at the little girl who independently supported the slanting wind and drizzle building after Yi'an Jushi left, after several years of tempering, her heart gradually matured, and she naturally had indescribable joy in her heart.

"I think the walls of Yangzhou should be demolished......." Ye Qing relaxed and leisurely sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from the willow light smoke on the tip of his nose.

"I think the people of Yangzhou should demolish you, the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, and dismantle eight pieces! Tar someone with the same brush! Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows, looking at Ye Qing's indifferent appearance and said dissatisfied.

"If the city wall can withstand the iron cavalry of the Jin people, how can my Great Song Dynasty lose half of the country so easily? No matter how strong the city is, it is not as strong as the soldiers and horses. What's more, after Sizhou, it is a flat river for the Jin people, what kind of city wall can stop them? If you have the money to build a city wall, it's better to complete the army of the five roads to garrison. Ye Qing said leisurely.

"But it's better than nothing, right? The city walls are strong, and the people's hearts are naturally steady, and they will not be like now, ready to move and escape from this city that will be trampled by the Jin people at any time. Liu Qingyan sighed silently and said.

"Do people here come to the building often?" Ye Qing didn't want to talk about the city wall issue that Liu Qingyan cared about, so he turned to look at the information about Zhao Shu and Shi Ze in his hand and asked.

"Shi Ze is a frequent visitor, because he has been in Yangzhou for more than two years, and Zhao Shu only came more than three months earlier than you, Shi Ze has brought Zhao Shu a few times a few days ago, and he hasn't seen much in the past few days." Liu Qingyan frowned and said with some worry.

Keenly aware of Liu Qingyan's white jade-like forehead twisted slightly, he looked at the pretty face curiously and asked, "What?" Are they targeting the building or something? ”

Although the imperial court did not pay much attention to the governance of local officials, the tax on Huainan East Road was the highest among the roads of the Great Song Dynasty, and the annual income was also a lot of money for the imperial court.

And the reason why the imperial court is like this, in addition to not caring too much about the livelihood of Huainan East Road, is that it is always ready to lose the land of Huainan East Road.

It is precisely because of this that the taxes on Huainan East Road are often much heavier than other roads, and there is a great intention to leave land for the Jin people at any time, so that even if the Jin people occupy Huainan East Road, what they can get can only be a poor and barren city.

The heavy taxes of the imperial court on Huainan East Road, coupled with the greed of local officials and various miscellaneous taxes for self-reliance, made the merchants and people of Huainan East Road miserable, and the number of households in Yangzhou City has been decreasing without increasing.

Even Liu Qingyan, who has been based in Yangzhou for three or five years, with such a large-scale industry as their oblique wind and drizzle building, is now a little overwhelmed by the taxes of the imperial court.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ye Qing also frowned and said.

"What's the use of telling you? You are already in Lin'an to protect yourself, today it is not rumored that you are the murderer of Fan Niande, or tomorrow it is rumored that you Ye Qing has passed gold and invested gold again, or you have offended Shi Miyuan and offended King Xin, telling you this, wouldn't it cause you trouble? What's more, it's not as serious as you think, if you really can't hold on one day, the big deal is that the business will be closed, and then it will be up to them to see where they want the silver. "Liu Qingyan has indeed matured a lot in recent years, and she is no longer the little girl who followed Yi'an Jushi and dared to secretly assassinate Jinren.

"Is Shi Ze still stalking you?" Ye Qing finally grabbed Liu Qingyan's small hand, which was no longer against his closeness, and asked.

Liu Qingyan, who was a little worried, frowned even more, and thought for a while: "It's okay, but he didn't embarrass me too much...... How do you know this? Did Sister Qing tell you? ”

"It doesn't matter who says it, since you're in trouble, you should tell me, not alone." Ye Qing grabbed the little hand and said with some distress.

"Well, I know. I know that you won't be able to pass through the gold and invest in the gold, otherwise you wouldn't have assassinated the two golden envoys in the first place. Now they all rumor that you are the teacher of Wan Yan Jing, the grandson of Emperor Jin, and even Sister Qing is a little worried that you will suddenly not be able to think about it one day, or you will be forced to invest in gold, but I have always believed that you will not, as for the unwillingness to explain that it is the teacher of Wan Yan Jing, there must be your troubles. Liu Qingyan's eyes were a little more gentle and understanding under the light, and the crazy girl at the beginning had now changed, making Ye Qing a little unrecognizable.

Ye Qing also knew that the reason why Liu Qingyan said this meant that she didn't want to embarrass Ye Qing because of the things in the building, and she didn't want Ye Qing to offend people too much in the court.

"Then you should be more relaxed now, at least I won't leave Yangzhou in the past few years, and the things in the building, tell me what should be told to me." By the way, Zhong Qing said to let you move over...... Ouch....... As soon as Ye Qing said the most important thing today, the back of his hand was pinched hard by Liu Qingyan.

"I already knew that you didn't have a good heart, and after entertaining the Chongguo Gong, and then you had nothing to do, hum." Liu Qingyan's pretty face was instantly covered with a thin layer of redness, and although he said this, he felt a trace of sweetness in his heart.

What's more, it's not that she doesn't want to live with Zhong Qing, it's just that this guy has never taken the initiative to mention it, and when she mentioned it today, she still talked about Sister Qing, which was too insincere.

And in Lin'an...... In short, if he lives with Zhong Qing unexplained, it is a little too cheap for him, so that he can enjoy the blessings of Qi people in Yangzhou and Lin'an, how to count the hardships he has suffered in Yangzhou alone in the past few years!

"How can this be called unkindness? This is concerned about you, if you hadn't just known that someone was stalking you...... Ye Qing continued to hold Liu Qingyan's hand tightly.

"Oh, it's because someone stalks me that you're letting me live with Sister Qing? If no one is stalking me, will you leave me alone...... You're a bad person...... Not....... Liu Qingyan felt as if she had eaten honey just now, but now she continues to listen to it, and she feels that the honey makes her heart breath very strong.

It's just that before she clenched her fists to hit someone, someone had already taken advantage of the situation to grab her slender waist and take her whole person into her arms, and her lips were imprinted on her cherry lips again.

"Woo...... I'm not going to go now anyway. Feeling that he was about to suffocate, Liu Qingyan, who was only let go of his red lips, said with a snort.

"Okay, okay, then I'll pick you up when I'm settled in a few days." Holding the delicate body of nephrite that no longer struggled like the warm fragrance, Ye Qing said as if flattering.

"That's pretty much it." Liu Qingyan, who snorted with his nostrils with satisfaction, said a little proudly.

In her opinion, since Ye Qing is willing to follow her, it means that she will be like this in her heart.

There are not many people in the remnants of the Beiwei army, and only a few Zhao Qi'er can take charge alone, although they have all followed him to Yangzhou, Ye Qing still feels that the manpower at hand is not enough.

But even so, Ye Qing still left Xu Qing and a few old people in the Slanting Wind Drizzle Building, which is now the running hall in the Slanting Wind Drizzle Building.

Back in the house where Zhong Qing was, the room in the backyard was still lit, and after signaling Broad Beans to rest, Ye Qing looked up at the starry sky, and it felt good to have someone waiting in his heart, as if he was in Lin'an.

Fang Fei obviously knew what happened today, looking at Ye Qing's eyes was always a little wrong, and her red little face was always with a hint of embarrassment, as if Ye Qing was not bullying Zhong Qing today, but bullying her.

Zhong Qing, who had just finished bathing under Fang Fei's service, had slightly wet hair, and even a little bit of crystal remained on the tips of her hair, and her white and tender cheeks that could be broken by blowing were also after seeing Ye Qing, with a touch of shyness and style, like a virtuous helper, after Ye Qing sat down, he sat down virtuously next to him.

"How? Do you disagree? Although Zhong Qing was a little nervous and shy in her heart, this was not something she had been preparing silently in her heart for the past few years.

Since being rescued by Ye Qing to Yangzhou, Zhong Qing has already decided in her heart that she will be Ye Qing's woman sooner or later, but she doesn't know that this is three years, and now she finally got her wish, so in Zhong Qing's heart, from today on, she should have the appearance of being Ye Qing's woman.

"Let's go a few days, I'm afraid that the building will not be safe during this time, this girl has really grown up and has a sense of responsibility now. Of course, maybe it's because of the layman, so now he takes the slanting wind and drizzle building very seriously, and he doesn't want to live up to the hard work of the layman. Ye Qing looked at Fang Fei, who had been walking with her head drooping since she came back, and then looked at Zhong Qing, and suddenly understood why Fang Fei was always shy and nervous in her clothes.

"You won't ......." Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing who was out of the water hibiscus, and asked with a gentle and generous cheek.

Zhong Qing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ye Qing and pointed to Fang Fei who was walking out of the bedroom, and instantly understood what Ye Qing was referring to, her white and tender cheeks instantly became more and more red, coupled with her white and attractive skin, it actually made Ye Qing stunned for a while.

"It's the rule." Zhong Qing couldn't resist Ye Qing's burning gaze after all, and lowered his head shyly and said.

"I ...... Let's wait no longer, I'm not mentally prepared for this....... Ye Qing opened his mouth and said very directly.

Zhong Qing's head couldn't be lowered any longer, and when she heard Ye Qing's stupid words, she burst out laughing, and then hummed softly and nodded.

Ye Qing, who breathed a sigh of relief, remembered the bit of information about Shi Ze that Liu Qingyan handed him, took it out of his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhong Qingdao: "Do you know this Shi Ze?" ”

Hearing Ye Qing turn the topic to business, Zhong Qing, who still had a blush on his cheeks, still raised his head, took the paper and looked at it, and said, "I have a slight impression that this person also appeared in the palace in Lin'an, but he ...... It's just that I don't know much, and I don't even know much about the news on it. ”

"When Shi Miyuan was the servant of the ministry, he promoted their own people, and Huainan East Road has always paid heavy taxes, and the imperial court is too lazy to take care of it, which has become a blessed land for some officials who want to fill their own pockets, not only that, but even Shi Miyuan and others have stretched out their hands here." Ye Qing looked at the word Shi Ze and said.

Zhong Qing shook his head, tilted his head slightly and thought about it: "I remember once I heard their conversation in the palace, at that time, this Shi Ze should not have arrived in Yangzhou, he should still be sent to the city, some imported goods from Quanzhou, some of them will enter the royal family, but some of them will be left by Shi Miyuan in private, and then pass this Shi Ze...... Pin elsewhere. I don't know where it was, but they had the intention of planning Huainan East Road and Sizhou Town at that time. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Qing and nodded unconsciously, as if confirming that what he said should not be wrong.

"Shi Ze is a prison envoy, and Zhao Shu is now serving as a transfer envoy, if the two of them cooperate, at least they can make their interest chain on Huainan East Road solid and watery. As for where they will sell the goods, it is nothing more than the Jin State or the Xia Kingdom, but looking at the Huainan East Road, there are both transshipment envoys for the use of the historians, and there are also some prison envoys who are the ministers of the historians, hehe...... So cautious, then there is only the country of gold. Ye Qing thought for a while and said, mentioning the criminal prison envoy is like the public security bureau in later generations, but its duties and rights are greater than it, and it even includes some procuratorial and legal powers, so at this time, along the way, it can be described as a decisive force that cannot be underestimated.

"It's not too late to stand firm and then discuss this matter, now that you have just arrived, Yangzhou is not more than Lin'an, whether it is local officialdom or the military is extremely complicated, you ...... You'd better be cautious. Zhong Qing nodded and said in a very light tone.

In the royal family and the palace over the years, although he has never participated in anything, the so-called ears and eyes have been smoking, and he has seen a lot of gangs and factions above the officialdom, open and secret fights, and when it comes to calculations, conspiracies, and deceit, the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty are definitely able to dominate the leader.

"Yes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold." Ye Qing said in Zhong Qing's tone.

provoked Zhong Qing to give him an angry look, and then signaled that Fang Fei's side had prepared everything for him to bathe.

Under the righteous and strict resignation of Ye Qing, a righteous gentleman, Zhong Qing finally called Fang Fei out, and did not let Fang Fei serve Ye Qing to bathe, naturally, someone wanted her to serve the bath, so she would not be fooled, although she still had a trace of expectation in her heart, but she was more afraid than expected, and she didn't have the courage to step into the room to serve someone to bathe.
