The two came to a secluded place, and Li Zhong, the leader of King Han's guards, took a few people to guard outside.

Zhao Yuankan looked at Feng Manlou's haggard face and said, "Teacher, it's hard work!" ”

Feng Manlou listened, how it seems to be Teacher's Day in the future, now I don't know when the Gregorian calendar is, but it is estimated that it is about the same, I didn't expect that there was this greeting, Feng Manlou felt a burst of warmth in his heart. But reason told itself that he couldn't be moved by his words.

But I heard Zhao Yuankan continue: "Teacher, why did you get divided all of a sudden? ”

Feng Manlou said: "That's because Weichen understands the rules!" ”

Zhao Yuankan suppressed his voice and roared: "Rules?!" According to the rules, since I, Zhao Yuankan, have worshiped the teacher, I should be treated as a teacher. The teacher is only six or seven years older than the students, so the students have always regarded the teacher as their most respectable friend! ”

If these words had been put the day before, maybe Feng Manlou would have believed them, but now, it seems that he doesn't believe it anymore. But he said: "Weichen can't break the rules!" ”

Although Zhao Yuankan is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, he is extremely mature and steady, although sometimes he is still immature and can't get rid of it, but Feng Manlou also regards it as his friend in his heart, but Feng Manlou suddenly found himself very disappointed.

But I heard Zhao Yuankan say: "The student knows that the teacher has a knot, which is the purpose of the student's apprenticeship. In fact, when I first apprenticed, I had a mind, but now I don't have it anymore! ”

Feng Manlou believed that he was telling the truth, but the lesson was already very profound, and fortunately there were no consequences. How Yang Xiu died, it is impossible for Feng Manlou not to know, although Yang Xiu is very talented, but the most important thing is that he thinks he knows Cao Ying very well!

Although Zhao Yuankan is now a prince, but after all, he is a child of the royal family, and he is far from reaching the height of being able to sit on an equal footing with him.

The more Zhao Yuankan spoke, the more excited he became, and Feng Manlou was also moved for a while, and said: "The prince doesn't need to be like this, in fact, Weichen can also think of it." The prince asked Weichen to come out alone, but he had something to explain? ”

Zhao Yuankan seemed to be a little difficult to speak, hesitated for a while, and still said: "Originally, I didn't want to trouble the teacher in this matter, but the student really couldn't find a suitable candidate, so I had to ask the teacher again!" ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "No, the prince must be for the sake of life and death!" ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "Exactly! Do you know why Qian Weilun committed suicide? ”

Feng Manlou couldn't figure this out, but he heard Zhao Yuankan say: "It's the meaning of the Counselor Zhao Pu!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "If Weichen didn't guess wrong, the prince is in Yuhang, and the help of the minister must be indispensable!" ”

Zhao Yuankan nodded and said, "Wei Zhongshu has the original book of life and death in his hand, but it was taken away by Qian Weilun. was known by Wei Zhongshu. Wei Zhongshu would not let go of Qian Weilun, and Zhao Shenxiang was also very angry, so Qian Weilun committed suicide! ”

Feng Manlou said: "You mean to say, where is Qian Weilun still clues?" ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "Not bad! This book of life and death is very important! The above records the bribes received by the court officials in the past ten years, and for the ** of some court officials, it is also recorded, it can be said that whoever gets this book of life and death, who can coerce the officials of the court to do things, this consequence is very serious! ”

Feng Manlou nodded and said, "What does the prince mean, is it to let Weichen find this book of life and death?" ”

Zhao Yuankan said embarrassedly: "Just pay a little attention, I really can't find it, forget it!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Weichen must do his best, but there is one more thing, I want to ask His Royal Highness the prince for help!" ”

This is still very good at climbing the pole, Zhao Yuankan couldn't help but guess in his heart, he didn't know what this teacher was going to do for him. But also be prepared!

But he heard the wind and said: "The current embankment along the river has broken last time, and Weichen wants to organize the people to build the embankment, but he has no money, and wants to ask the prince if he can carry some of the seized silver?" ”

Zhao Yuankan thought for a while and said, "Does the teacher have a budget and how much does it need?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "It should be 200,000 yuan!" ”

Zhao Yuankan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll ask Li Zhong to convert the silver and deposit it into Huitong Bank, and I'll leave the silver ticket for you when the time comes!" ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly thanked him: "Weichen thanked the prince for the people of Yuhang, the prince can rest assured, with these 200,000 yuan, the minister will definitely help the prince build a dam that will not be broken for a hundred years!" ”

Zhao Yuankan said with a smile: "If this is the case, the 200,000 yuan will be too worth it." ”

Now the imperial court spends no less than 3 million yuan on river workers every year, especially the river workers of the Yellow River, who spend even more. Yuhang has a maximum of 100,000 guan per year, and a minimum of 60,000 or 70,000 guan. If it can really be used for ten years, it will save a lot of money for the imperial court.

Zhao Yuankan decided in his heart that even if the eldest brother refused to do everything he could, he must fulfill his promise!

The two of them have made a decision, and when Feng Manlou returned to the county office, he went to visit Xiao Xiangyue as soon as possible, but saw Feng Xiaoyun and said: "Young master, I haven't seen the young lady since yesterday, will it make the young lady angry?" ”

Feng Manlou was already haggard in his heart, he stayed up all night, and he hadn't rested until now, but he was still young and in good health, but he could still persevere, and said: "Lang Zhong has seen it?" ”

Feng Xiaoyun said: "I've seen it, it's no big deal!" It's just a prescription, and according to what the prescription says, just grab the medicine! ”

When I went back and saw that Xiao Xiangyue was sleeping, I didn't bother. After staying up all night, I was really sleepy, and the wind went to rest.

The next day, Mr. Li sent a silver ticket of 200,000 yuan from Huitong Bank and left. also told Feng Manlou that the two princes were about to return to Beijing, and Feng Manlou was going to see them off, but he heard Li Zhong say: "The whereabouts of the two princes are relatively secret, and I don't want too many people to know!" ”

Feng Manlou changed into civilian clothes, took Dong Chao, Xue Ba and Sun Hu Wang Ying, and followed. saw Zhao Yuankan, Zhao Yuanzuo, and Wang Jien, each of whom was dressed in casual clothes, and the guards behind him were also dressed in casual clothes.

Feng Manlou greeted the three of them one by one, and then said goodbye to everyone. Wang Jien felt a little uncomfortable, this little magistrate is too ignorant of lifting, why don't you have any gifts at all!

Feng Manlou didn't expect it, but he didn't prepare at all, he didn't want to see him off, if it weren't for Zhao Yuankan's face, of course, this is also the reason why they left secretly! Otherwise, the official ushering is sent, and the wind is full of buildings, and I don't dare to say no!

After everyone left Yuhang and went on the road, Feng Manlou went straight to the outside of the city with four guards.

"My lord, they just left, we can still catch up!" Wang Ying said.

Feng Manlou smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, you'll know when you go!" ”

Sure enough, when everyone arrived, they found that Feng Manlou actually took everyone to a lime kiln for lime calcination. On the hillside outside Yuhang City, there are no less than ten large and small lime kilns!

Moreover, the stone used to burn lime is limestone, which is generally used in later generations to build roads and mix with cement, and this kind of stone can be found everywhere.

Feng Manlou came to the largest one, and a man who looked like a foreman came up and asked: "This little brother, the villain is the owner of this lime kiln, but the little brother needs lime?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "What is the owner's surname? What do you call it? ”

Feng Manlou was dressed in casual clothes, but the four guards in the back, although they were dressed in civilian clothes, they were wearing official knives, and they were probably also from the yamen, so the owner was also very polite, and said: "The small surname is Wang, and the single name is a Qiong character!" What does the little brother need? ”

Feng Manlou said: "It turned out to be a member of the king, disrespectful and disrespectful!" In the downwind full building, I would like to ask Wang Yuanwai, do you have a master who has been working for a long time in the brick kiln? ”

Wang Qiong said: "Brother Feng, there is indeed a mine, but he is just directing the mine to open the mine, and Wang will invite the little brother, but I don't know what Brother Feng is looking for him?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are some questions I want to ask him!" Before he could finish speaking, he heard a voice shouting from the stone field above: "Oh no, someone is dead!" ”
