In the evening, the night sky finally cleared completely.

The night sky is like blue velvet, deep blue. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, sprinkling ten thousand silver rays. Jiangning City, thousands of lights, laughter and firecrackers in the city blend together, and it is another sleepless night.

I have sacrificed the moon and eaten moon cakes. The uncle and sister-in-law followed the bright moonlight and headed out into the street.

On the street, tourists are weaving, shoulder to shoulder. Everyone is full of smiles on their faces, or in groups of three or five, or in pairs in this street of fire trees and silver flowers, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the government will set up a stage near Wuyi Lane. Rejoice with the people.

When singing to the **, the officials of one party will come to the stage and say some loyal and patriotic words to the people below, and happy holidays.

Lu Heng and Liu Qingqing stood outside the crowd, watching the somersaults on the high stage, performing hard. Like everyone else around, applaud.

"It's beautiful!" Liu Qingqing turned her head and said to Lu Heng with a smile.

Under the clear moonlight, the woman smiled, and her face suddenly overshadowed the bright moon in the night sky.

Towards the end of the singing, it was the turn of the local officials to speak on stage.

The first to speak, naturally, was Jiangning's Fu Yin.

This is the first time Lu Heng has seen this parent official. This man is about 50 years old, and he is kind and kind. The chubby body, when standing up and walking to the stage, shakes three steps in one step.

Listening to Wu Ningyuan and Zhang Wenshan, this chubby old man is called Hong Quan, and his name is Jiantao. Born as a Jinshi. This person has extraordinary ability, he has been in charge of Jiangning for more than ten years, and the situation in Jiangning has always been very good, and there has never been such a thing as mob rebellion. However, this person is well versed in the way of being an official. With his ability, he can make a difference in the court. However, this person did not want to participate in the dispute between friends, so he kept pretending to be confused, and pretended to be deaf and dumb to the emperor's repeated hints. I've been staying in this Jiangning.

The emperor was also a little angry at first, but after thinking about it, he was left to go. After all, if such a good official is put into the court to intrigue, it is obviously a bit overkill.

As the king of a country, of course he knows this.

For this Jiang Ning's parents, although Lu Heng met him for the first time, he still had a good impression of him in his heart.

At the beginning, he gave Ning Wang Ye the idea of borrowing the Jiangning garrison to build and guard against it. In fact, the final implementation still depends on this chubby Jiangning feudal official. After all, although Prince Ning has the name of King Huainan, in fact, he has no real power on the surface. In Jiangning, this fat man is a veritable number one boss.

Moreover, Lu Heng heard from the Zhan guards that some time ago, the incident that happened to the Lu family was shocked. The one who really sent someone to suppress it was this fat man Fu Yin.

Although it was sold to Prince Ning for face, no matter what, the final beneficiary was still Lu Heng. Although he didn't know what the other party's original intention was, Lu Heng still wrote down this favor.

After the chubby Lord Yin Hong Jiantao stepped onto the stage, he first gasped for breath, and then cleared his throat. The people below obviously love this parent official too.

Seeing Hong Jiantao coming to power, the people were silent. Just with a smile in his eyes, he looked at this good official who had guarded Jiangning for more than ten years.

After Hong Jiantao had been brewing his emotions for a long time, he smiled kindly, coughed, and said loudly to the people below: "Hehe, thanks to God's grace." Jiangning has such a stable and prosperous situation, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone eats and drinks well, in good condition, hehe! ”

Then, after saying this, I saw this chubby Hong Jiantao, happily hugging his fists at the people who were looking up at him below, and then went down like this.

The people below looked at each other, they really didn't expect that Lord Fu Yin's speech would be so brief. They are ready to listen to the speech for an hour.

After a brief lull, though. The people below immediately laughed, and the laughter was more about the love and support for this Lord Yin. The people followed the example of Lord Fu Yin, and clasped their fists together and said, "Lord Fu Yin is healthy!" ”

Then, it was the officials of Jiangning City who came to power. Because Hong Jiantao set an example in front, other junior officials were naturally embarrassed to make a long speech.

After these officials went up, they all learned the tone of Lord Fu Yin. First of all, he thanked the emperor for his grace. Then he turned around, hugged his fist at Lord Fu Yin, who was sitting in the right seat, and said a word or two to thank Lord Fu Yin.

In this group of officials, Lu Heng met Su Guangyi, an official of the Weaving Mansion.

After a long time, Su Guangyi seemed to have lost a lot of weight. His expression was also visibly haggard. It seems that there is a lot of hard work during this time.

Compared with before, Su Guangyi had such a big contrast, and Lu Heng was not surprised in his heart.

I heard that a few days ago, Miss Su got married. The long queue to send off relatives formed a dragon. Along the way, the gongs and drums were noisy and joyful.

However, as soon as this team of relatives walked out of the border of Jiangsu, it was robbed by a gang of mountain bandits.

Not only was the property robbed, but even the whereabouts of the bride Su Qianqian were unknown.

It should have been captured by the king of the mountain and taken back to be the lady of the village.

After hearing this, Su Guangyi fainted on the spot.

This wedding is not a simple marriage for a daughter. It is related to the development of his career. After all, the in-laws are the most powerful left servant in the dynasty.

However, these damn mountain bandits are making such a fuss that there is nothing left.

Even if the daughter is rescued, it will not help. Lord An Peng will never accept a daughter-in-law who has been insulted by mountain bandits.

Although this daughter-in-law is still an insignificant concubine.

However, as an official of one side. Naturally, the face still has to be regained.

Su Guangyi then mobilized all his connections and tried to get through the line of governor of Hubei. Let the other party send someone to exterminate the bandits. As for whether his daughter is safe, Su Guangyi actually doesn't care in his heart.

It's just that the hateful thing is that after receiving his letter of request for help, Qian Feng, the governor of Hubei, accepted the property he sent over without changing his face, and then threw his letter of request for help aside without changing his face.

only used one sentence: "These three thieves come and go like the wind, and the official has no choice!" And he sent the butler back.

Damn Wu Ningyuan, it must have been his hands and feet.

Of course, Su Guangyi knew Qian Feng's background, this person was a staff member of Ning Wangfu earlier, and he followed Ning Wangye all his life to travel south and north, and made great contributions.

Later, before returning to the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Ning helped Qian Feng to the post of governor of Hubei. Over the years, the two have often exchanged letters, and they are not clean.

As a prince, in Jiangning's eyeliner. Of course, Su Guangyi knows this. It's just that I didn't expect these two people to dare to collude so blatantly. It's just so damning.

Su Guangyi, who lost his future and money, vomited blood again and passed out after hearing that Qian Feng, a bastard, was so perfunctory.

Vomiting blood twice in a row can be imagined as much damage to the body. However, Su Guangyi can still appear in front of the people at this time, and make a very good appearance. The firmness of the will is really impressive.

Regarding Su Qianqian's robbery by the bandits, Lu Heng didn't believe it.

Because before, I often heard Wu Ningyuan talk about Qian Feng, a capable subordinate back then, about how strong his ability was and how strong his wrists were.

How could such a person tolerate such a thing as a bandit under his rule? Isn't this just an excuse for the Holy One to remove himself?

It's just that although I don't believe that it was the bandits who caused the chaos, even if Lu Heng was a master planner of the previous generation, it was difficult to figure out the strangeness of this for a while.

Thinking of that, Su Qianqian plucked up her courage, looked at herself, and asked: "Is what Lu Gongzi said sincerely?" ”

Lu Heng felt a little guilty in his heart.

For a weak woman, to be able to say those words, I don't know how determined she is to have such courage in her heart. Maybe I should have helped her in the first place.

Lu Heng sighed softly, looked at Su Guangyi, who was expressionless on the stage, and thought so in his heart.

"What is Uncle thinking?" Liu Qingqing beside him, although he was watching a play, his attention stayed on Lu Heng by his side for a long time.

At this time, I saw Lu Heng sighing slightly. There was a hint of helplessness between his eyebrows. In his heart, he pulled Lu Heng's sleeve and asked softly.

withdrew his gaze from Su Guangyi on the stage, turned his head, and just met Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes with a hint of worry. At this time, I saw Liu Qingqing's bright eyes, and there was a strong sense of concern. Lu Heng's heart warmed. smiled and said, "Hehe, I just remembered some people and some things!" I feel, why is the gap between people so big? ”

Seeing Liu Qingqing looking at him with a serious face, Lu Heng suddenly felt strange in his heart. In the last sentence, I inadvertently used the accent from a sketch that I had seen in later generations.

Tactful voice, weird accent. Suddenly, the woman in front of her looked stunned. However, after she reacted, she smiled, glanced at Lu Heng with beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "Blame!" ”

The soft sound is like a sweet mooncake. It makes people feel sweet from the heart.

With the woman's fresh smile, the faint sorrow in her heart was blown away in the night breeze that blew by.

After listening to the singing, the people gathered did not go home, but went to the bank of the Qinhuai River.

In this era, moon viewing is not only a must for literati and scholars, but also a custom. Although it does not have the strong sour smell of the literati gatherings, the people still like to see the bright moon reflected on the river. It's not about the mood, it's just a simple liking.

When he was on the road, Lu Heng spent money to buy two lanterns. I don't know if it's intentional or coincidental. On the lantern, one is painted with Hou Yi and the other is painted with Chang'e.

So, along the way, I saw Liu Qingqing's face slightly red, carrying a lantern with her head down, and walking forward with a pretty face.

Lu Heng, who was walking behind, raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. A breezy and clear look. It's just that the moment I occasionally lowered my head, I saw a faint smile on his face.

Uh, it seems to be on purpose!
