Chapter 141: Hidden Dangers Outside the City
"Back to His Royal Highness, those two scholars are tall and big, one black and one white, and they don't seem to look like ordinary scholars......"
"Hmph, those two are not ordinary people, they are all masters of the personal guards around Xiao Jingcong, it seems that he has been prepared, so don't act rashly!"
"Yes!" The agent arched his hand and replied.
Xiao Yuxian pondered for a moment, and then gave an order to the secret agent, "Go, continue to monitor Yan Zixi's dead girl, and if there is any change, come and report to this king quickly!" ”
"Yes!"
The agent answered, and then withdrew.
"The folk girl Su Xuerou has seen Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao!" Su Xuerou knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.
Xiao Jingcong glanced down at Su Xuerou, slightly hooked her lips, and asked, "Let's get up first!" Miss Xuerou, how are you resting these days? ”
Su Xuerou heard Xiao Jingcong's question, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, the folk girl is resting well." ”
"That's good, Miss Xuerou, do you remember the situation when the dam washed out that day, if you know, you might as well tell this king, and this prince can also know more, so as to prevent trouble." Xiao Jingcong's expression softened, but it still carried a trace of supreme majesty.
When Su Xuerou heard this, a hint of meaningful color appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.
She nodded, and then replied carefully, "Yes, the folk girl knows!" I don't know when Prince Xiao wants to know? ”
"Just a few days, when the king will come to you. You go down first! ”
"Yes, the folk girl is retiring." Su Xuerou answered, and then withdrew from Xiao Jingcong's bedroom.
I hurried all the way back to my room, and my face was a little frightened.
"What does this Xiao Wang Ye want to do?" Su Xuerou bit her lip lightly, then took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a secret letter.
Then he took out a birdcage from the cupboard, released a pigeon, tied the letter to a letter at the pigeon's feet, went to the windowsill, glanced left and right, and threw the pigeon out......
……
A few days later, Yan Zixi successfully passed the assessment of the Tai Hospital and has officially become a female Tai doctor.
She couldn't wait to run back, wanting to tell Xiao Jingcong the good news.
Xiao Jingcong was basking in the sun in the back garden, and when she saw Yan Zixi coming back, she greeted her.
"Xi'er is back?"
"Jingcong, great, I have successfully passed the assessment of the Tai Hospital, from today on, your lady I will officially become a Tai Doctor!"
Xiao Jingcong listened, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "Really? Xi'er, congratulations! ”
"Haha, it's okay! By the way, Jingcong, how are your injuries? Is it better? ”
Xiao Jingcong nodded, "Well, thanks to my good Xi'er, my husband's injury can heal so quickly." ”
"Hehe, Jing Cong likes to make fun of me."
However, Yan Zixi is still very happy in her heart, and being able to get her husband's appreciation is sweeter than eating honey.
But soon Xiao Jingcong's face became sad again, Yan Zixi was puzzled and asked again.
"Jingcong, what's wrong, why are you always frowning? Is there something bothering you? ”
Xiao Jingcong sighed, "The dam outside the city has not been built yet, and there are even many ordinary people who have not settled down?" ”
"What? How so?! Yan Zixi was puzzled, why would there be people displaced when they had already allocated so much relief money?
Xiao Jingcong loves the people like a son, and when she knows this news, she will definitely not feel good in her heart.
"Jingcong, I don't know if I can help you??" Yan Zixi really wanted to do something for Xiao Jingcong, so she hurriedly asked.
When Xiao Jingcong heard Yan Zixi say this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Okay, since Xi'er has this intention, why don't you go out of the city with me today!" I haven't been to see it in many days! ”
"Well, well, then I'll go with you!"
Xiao Jingcong took Yan Zixi out of the General's Mansion, got into a carriage, and went straight to a small teahouse outside the city to rest.
Yan Zixi looked at Xiao Jingcong with a sad look, she sat down and poured Xiao Jingcong a cup of tea, and then asked curiously.
"Jingcong, what's wrong? Why do you keep frowning, still worried about the dam? ”
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he sighed leisurely: "Alas, this is a major matter that concerns people's livelihood, how can it not worry me?" If I don't investigate this matter for a day, I won't be able to sleep well for a day! ”
"I know, but Jingcong is just recovering from your serious injury, so don't think about these troublesome things. When we walked here just now, we saw that there were still a lot of displaced and homeless people, and we didn't let us settle them down first, so we thought that we had settled a matter of our hearts, right? "Excellent reading books
Yan Zixi was also confused in her heart, obviously she had already donated so much property, she alone donated twice, not to mention that the imperial court allocated so much money for disaster relief, where did all these funds go?
Why haven't even these displaced people outside the city settled down?
Hearing this, Xiao Jingcong also nodded, "Xi'er, you're right, this king has already arranged this matter, but I didn't expect that I hadn't come here for a few days, and there were so many more victims outside the city......
Xiao Jingcong's face also became heavy, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't tell Yan Zixi, as if he didn't want Yan Zixi to know these things.
After all, Yan Zixi is an outsider, and Xiao Jingcong doesn't want to implicate her in this incident, which will only bring disadvantages to her.
There must be an intricate chain of interests behind the disaster relief funds, just like the roots of an old tree, and if it moves, it will shake the entire towering tree.
As a last resort, Xiao Jingcong didn't want to really find out all the beneficiaries.
But Yan Zixi is a sensitive person, and she has watched a lot of similar costume TV series before, so Yan Zixi still knows a little bit about it.
When Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong were sitting in the teahouse resting and chatting, the local county magistrate sent someone to report.
It is said that there are still hundreds of families of people who have not settled down.
After Xiao Jingcong heard this, he was immediately furious, and when he got up, he took Yan Zixi and went straight to the county government.
By the time Xiao Jingcong arrived at the county government, the county magistrate seemed to have heard the wind a long time ago, and he was waiting outside the mansion gate early.
Seeing Xiao Jingcong's frame coming, he knelt down a hundred meters away.
"Weichen see Prince Xiao, see Princess Xiao!"
Xiao Jingcong stepped down from the carriage, glared angrily at the county order kneeling in front of him, and scolded in his mouth: "Chen county order, what the hell is going on?" Why are there so many homeless people? ”
"Lord forgive your sins! The prince forgives his sins! Xia Guan has tried his best, but he really has limited resources at hand! Chen Xianling was also afraid of angering Xiao Jingcong, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.
"This king asks you, where has all the money and food used for disaster relief gone?"
"Back to the prince, Xia Guan only received the first batch of disaster relief money and food and some scattered donated materials, and the rest were not used!"
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and sure enough, what he was most worried about still happened.
If it is really as Chen County Ling said, then there is a lot of involved.
I am afraid that the impact of a thorough investigation will be too light, and if it is not thoroughly investigated, it will only become more and more serious.
Seeing Xiao Jingcong's gloomy face, Chen Xian Ling hurriedly persuaded him: "The prince has been tired all the way, so let's go to the mansion to rest for a while?" ”
"Yes, Jingcong, your injuries are not healed yet, let's go to the mansion first!" Yan Zixi lifted the curtain of the carriage and persuaded her mouth.
Xiao Jingcong heard Yan Zixi say the same, so she waved her sleeves and walked into the county government angrily.
……
That night, Xiao Jingcong stayed in the inn outside the county government, and he didn't sleep for a long time, thinking about how to solve this tricky matter at hand.
Suddenly, he seemed to smell a smell of incense, and when he was about to turn around to remind Yan Zixi, he suddenly fainted on the table.
Yan Zixi had already sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly took out an elixir from her pocket and fed it into her mouth, then held her breath, pretending to be stunned by the smoke like Xiao Jingcong.
After a while, several masked men in black burst in with knives.
They walked over cautiously on their tiptoes to check on Xiao Jingcong's situation.
Seeing that Xiao Jingcong was really in a smoke and fell unconscious, he became bold, and his mouth was even more sarcastic.
"Humph! It is said that this Xiao Wang Ye is a dignified peerless general, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that! ”
"Lord Chen said that he had received a sword wound before and had not recovered, and he was afraid that he had not recovered. Let's not waste time, or let him wake up and we won't be able to leave. ”
The masked man in black pondered for a moment, then touched Xiao Jingcong's body, and quickly took out a gold medal from his waist, and then left the room satisfied.
All this was seen by Yan Zixi.
However, the other party covered their faces, and Yan Zixi didn't know where they came from, but she just heard the other party call Lord Chen, could it be related to the Chen County Order?
After the masked black-clothed men left the room, Yan Zixi waited for about a quarter of an hour or so, making sure that those people would not go and return, and then got up from the ground.
"Jingcong! Jing Cong! ”
Yan Zixi hurriedly ran to Xiao Jingcong's face, shaking his shoulders and trying to wake him up.
After screaming for a while, Xiao Jingcong was finally woken up by Yan Zixi.
Xiao Jingcong opened her eyes, patted her groggy head, and asked strangely: "Xi'er, what's wrong with me?" ”
