Although Jiang Lige was talking to the men enthusiastically, in fact, she was worried about the situation of the embankment, and only hoped that the rain would stop, although they had strengthened the embankment, but the rain was so heavy that it would inevitably wash away. Just as they were chatting, a little girl, five or six years old, ran to Jiang Lige's side.

Jiang Lige took the child in his arms, touched the child's head, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The child's face was innocent, and he looked at Jiang Lige's eyes and said, "Lu Youyou." What's the name of that brother? ”

Jiang Lige felt funny, and said patiently: "It's my sister, my sister's name is Jiang Lige, it's the ginger of ginger, the song of leaving, the song of singing." ”

The child looked like he understood, and then asked, "Can my sister teach me to write my name?" ”

Jiang Lige was very happy, put the child down, took a wooden stick on the ground and taught the little girl to write her name, the little girl was very smart, she learned it after a while, and happily said thank you to Jiang Lige, Jiang Lige looked at the child's innocent but serious thanks, and couldn't help laughing.

The little girl looked at the gentle Jiang Lige, and suddenly cried, Jiang Lige was at a loss for a while, so she had to hold the child in her arms and coax: "If you don't cry, if you cry, it won't look good, and if it's not good-looking, no one will like it." ”

Hearing this, the child raised his head from Jiang Lige's arms, with crystal tears on his eyelashes, and asked with some fear, "Will my sister stay here forever?" ”

Jiang Lige asked rhetorically: "Then do you want your sister to stay here?" ”

Yoyo nodded without hesitation, and said, "Is it okay for my sister to stay here to protect Yoyo?" With my sister here, Yoyo won't be afraid. ”

Jiang Lige took the opportunity to ask, "What are you afraid of?" ”

The child seemed to be about to speak, but the child's mother, Aunt Lu, had already come over and called, "Yoyo." My sister is already very tired, can you come down?"

Jiang Lige waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's rare for a child to like me." After all, she has a heavy killing spirit, and children generally don't approach her, but Lu Youyou is an exception.

Aunt Lu seemed to be a little hesitant, and when she heard that Jiang Lige only asked about some things in life, she was relieved to leave.

After a while, the meal was cooked, and there was no need for a table, people took a bowl and scooped it directly and squatted to eat, Jiang Lige also learned from them, when they saw that there was almost no rice in the bowl, only a few vegetables floating, they were a little unsettled, can this be full? But when I thought that it was the time when the flood was serious, I thought about it.

When he returned to the Taishou Mansion, it was already dark, Liu Taishou saw Jiang Lige coming back, and hurriedly asked the people in the house to serve the food, Jiang Lige was not embarrassed to eat more just now, so he went with Liu Taishou, only to see that the food on the table was full of color and fragrance, which made people have a great appetite, Jiang Lige was a little angry, and asked lightly: "Is there still a lot of surplus in Taishou Mansion now?"

Liu Taishou couldn't help but sarcastically say a lot, but still said respectfully: "No, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the general came from afar, how can the lower officials wronged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the general?"

Jiang Lige said lightly: "Withdraw, General Ben suddenly has no appetite." ”

Liu Taishou nodded yes, and quickly asked people to withdraw, but he was slandered in his heart: this one is more difficult to serve than the other!

The night passed in anxiety, and the embankment was not washed away, which means that their idea was right, at this time the group was standing on the shore, Jiang Lige patted Lin Wensheng's shoulder with his hand, and praised: "It seems that you really have two brushes!" General Ben is really discerning. ”

Is this to praise her when you praise him? Lin Wensheng tugged at the corners of her mouth, but her vision was excellent.

At this time, the prince standing at the forefront of the heart is also surging, this is his credit, this time back, he will be famous all over the world, the ministers praised, when the second prince will take what to fight with him, to Jiang Lige behind him: "Lige, this time you have made a lot of contributions, after you go back, the palace must let your father reward you well!"

Jiang Lige also felt very happy, but after a long time on the battlefield, Jiang Lige still cultivated the ability to not be surprised everywhere, and said respectfully: "Thanks to the prince's single-minded support." ”

The prince held his head high, and he became even more complacent when he heard Jiang Lige's words.

After a few days of worrying, the rain finally stopped, and although the river overflowed the embankment, the embankment finally persisted. At this time, the money and grain that followed behind also arrived, and the prince was busy distributing money and food and rebuilding the house almost every day, and the matter could probably end here, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

In the evening, Jiang Lige quietly found Lin Wensheng alone, avoided everyone, and went to a small forest not far away.

Looking at the man's calm appearance, Jiang Lige spoke: "There is no one here, let's say, what are you trying to hide?" Don't try to fool General Ben. You should know that since General Ben dares to ask you, he must be sure that something is wrong. At this time, Jiang Lige was majestic, and he was completely different from the way he mingled with the people on weekdays.

Lin Wensheng looked at Jiang Lige's serious appearance, and knew that she had the heart to help them, but he pounced and knelt straight on the ground, Jiang Lige stood still, waiting for him to speak.

Lin Wensheng said with a painful face: "Ask the general to save the people, we are really in dire straits, and we are about to be unable to survive." The crying appearance made Jiang Lige frown.

couldn't bear to ask him with her request to train recruits, sighed, helped Lin Wensheng up, and said calmly: "Say, what's going on?" ”

Lin Wensheng wiped his tears, and then said: "That Liu Taishou is not a good person, he has been full of public and private pockets over the years, not only swallowing the silver money for flood management and disaster relief, but also making us pay an extra 10% of taxes every year, and often catching young and middle-aged people to do coolies, and the people are miserable." ”

Jiang Lige was curious: "Oh? Why didn't the matter be reported to the court? ”

Lin Wensheng: "General, how can ordinary people like us see higher-level officials, and how can we report it?" Even if it is reported, in the law of the Southern Chu Kingdom, if the people sue their parents and officials, they will be given twenty rods in the court. Xiao Sheng is not afraid of twenty court rods, but he has not been able to see the person who administers justice for a long time. ”

Jiang Lige was furious in his heart, and tried his best to calm down: "It seems that there is a lot of money behind this Liu Taishou, otherwise how can he dare to do such a big rebellious thing with his little Taishou." Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "You don't want to continue to participate in the imperial examination, which is also related to this, right?" ”

Lin Wensheng knelt down again and said, "General, it's not just Xiaosheng, it's like this for everyone who wants to go out." Xiaosheng has been an orphan since he was a child, grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and was oppressed by Liu Taishou and his gang, and has been studying hard for many years, hoping to become a big official one day and be able to save the people from fire and water. But Liu Taishou also knew that what he was doing was not a glorious thing, he was afraid that Xiaosheng and his party would shake out his affairs after leaving the south, and they had been trying to find a way to press us, once Xiaosheng fled to the border of the south, his people still caught Xiaosheng in front of him, he threatened Xiaosheng and said that if Xiaosheng dared to escape, he would kill the father and villagers who supported Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng had no choice but to stay here. ”

Jiang Lige sighed, this is too bold and too bold. He said: "There have been officials who have been providing disaster relief in the past few years, why don't you say it?" Jiang Lige thought that when they first came, the attitude of the people was faintly understood.

Lin Wensheng sneered: "Which official is not an official who protects each other?" The first officer who came took a bribe from him told him what we had told him, and when the flood stopped, he left as if nothing had happened, but we were subjected to even greater torment, and so did the next few officials. Raising his head, he looked at Jiang Lige and said sadly: "General, where do you let Xiaosheng go?" ”

When Jiang Lige heard this, he generally understood what was going on, but there have been several officials in the past few years, and once they are investigated, they are widely implicated, but she must take care of such a thing, and as for how to manage it, she has to think about it.

Lin Wensheng didn't open his mouth when he saw Jiang Lige's contemplative appearance, he knew that she would definitely take care of it, otherwise he wouldn't choose to tell her, and at the same time, he also knew that although this matter was tricky, Jiang Lige would definitely be able to solve it.

After a while, Jiang Lige spoke: "After you go back, don't show anything strange in front of Liu Taishou's people, and then quietly unite with the trustworthy people in your village, and General Ben will arrange a time for you to meet the prince." "It is best for the prince to come forward in this matter, firstly, the prince is the backbone of the trip to the south, and secondly, the prince is the prince, and he has come forward to reduce a lot of trouble.

After they dispersed with Lin Wensheng, Jiang Lige went to the prince's study, and the prince was looking at the paperwork at this time. Although the crown prince is mediocre, he is worthy of a great responsibility with this seriousness, if he becomes an emperor, although he will not have outstanding political achievements, he will also be a benevolent and good emperor. Jiang Li thought about it, clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince looked at the girl and said gently: "No courtesy, leave the song, come to the palace so late, but what's the matter?" ”

Jiang Lige knew that there were all the prince's people nearby, so he was relieved: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the last general feels that Liu Taishou is not as simple as it seems on the surface. ”

The crown prince nodded and said, "This palace knows." ”

Jiang Lige knew that this matter was widely implicated, and even the crown prince would find it tricky, so he still asked, "What does His Royal Highness the crown prince plan to do?" ”

Although the prince knew that if he intervened in this matter, he was afraid that it would cause an uproar in the court, but as the prince, and Jiang Lige also knew about this matter, he had to take care of it and said: "At this time, the palace will never sit idly by, but since Liu Taishou dares to do this, he must hide it well, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to catch his little tail." "You can get a glimpse of it from his ledger.

Jiang Lige looked at the prince's sad appearance and continued: "It's not a problem to catch his little tail, the people can testify, as long as His Royal Highness the prince is determined to take care of it." ”
