At noon on the second day, he received a call from the capital, and Zou Kaizhi admitted to the scoop in the interrogation of the Council, and after the questioning was over, he submitted his resignation to the Government Council and the Imperial Study.

Seeing this message, Ye Zhao shook his head, Zou Kaizhi is really stubborn, and there is actually another inside story in this matter.

Along with the telegram, there was also an official document from the Imperial Study, which was the investigation report of the "Investigation Committee on the State of National Survival," which lasted a year of overt and covert investigations, and the official document stated that in the survey of 247 villages in Guangdong, Shanxi, and Hunan provinces as examples, more than half of the villages still have the phenomenon of clans setting up private courts, and the results of this survey have representative surnames and can be used as a reference for the situation in rural areas throughout the country.

The National Survival Investigation Committee is a reading power investigation body that Ye Zhao intends to allocate to the Diet Yuan, and it is expected to play an important role for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but now it can only play its due role if it is set up in the imperial study.

After reading the investigation report, Ye Zhao did not speak for a long time, the development of the prosperous cities of the empire can be said to be changing with each passing day, and it is a thousand miles, but in the countryside, the change is extremely slow, in addition to hoping to gradually reverse this situation through universal education, in strengthening the leadership of the township-level political power, perhaps, something should be done.

In the afternoon, the news of Christina's arrival made Ye Zhao leave these troubles behind, he hadn't seen her for more than three years, Ye Zhao wanted to see her in person, in order to prevent Gul Shayir from eating dry vinegar and trying to cause trouble, Ye Zhao found an excuse, saying that he was going to go to the field overnight, and asked Gul Shayir to send Hua Ji back to the capital.

In fact, Ye Zhao knows that not only is he a barbaric wife, but even Hua Ji is a very smart girl, and they can both guess what they are doing, but this lie, in this era and his identity, is a kind of maximum respect for them, although Ye Zhao himself doesn't feel so, but feels a little guilty.

…… The port of Tianjin is the busiest port in the north, and on the Liaodong Peninsula, the Port of Arthur and the new port are being expanded and built, and most of the materials from outside the customs and north China are being transported to the south through the port of Tianjin.

Christina and her entourage lived in the concession area not far from the wharf, Heshun Hotel, a three-story building with oriental cornices, elegant and quiet on the outside, and magnificent inside, this hotel is also one of the best inns in the Tianjin Concession area.

The first time she came to China, Christina was naturally very novel, but she was a little apprehensive in her heart, she didn't know if the lover who haunted her still remembered herself, she wrote many passionate love letters, but only sent a few, because she knew the identity of her lover, the most powerful person in the East and even in the world, the less people she knew about her relationship with him, the better, so that he was a kind of protection for himself, and in case he forgot himself, he didn't want to become a man's curiosity target, A lover abandoned by the Chinese emperor may be a terrible and seductive forbidden fruit for many people.

When taking a bath in the bathroom, looking at the blonde and blue-eyed angel in the mirror, proud of the snow-white**, towering**, slender waist, dripping water droplets in the mist, even more attractive, Christina held up her surname and imagined whether her lover would miss her, and her face suddenly became a little hot.

Changed into a light blue double-breasted uniform and pants, with lace butterfly trim on her chest, straight trousers, and a pair of black pendant blue flower high heels, which lined a pair of slender and slender legs that were extremely attractive, and when she returned to the living room of the suite, even Rong Lu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly turned her eyes away, not daring to look more.

In the living room, in addition to the maids Xiao Tao and Rong Lu, there is also a swarthy young Luzon man, whose Chinese name is Masura, a Catholic believer, who studied medicine with Catholic missionaries for several years, and ran errands for Christina when he saddled up the horse in Cebu Port on Luzon, and talked about medical knowledge with Christina, so he must worship Christina as a teacher. Christina didn't agree, but she felt that he was also talented, so she nodded a few words.

It's just that this Masula seems to be preoccupied these days, especially after landing on the land of Tianjin, his brows have not stretched, but his thin and swarthy face, if you don't look carefully, those wrinkles really can't be seen.

"Miss, you rest early, the inn has been booked, you just have to rest assured." Rong Lu's demeanor was extremely respectful, this time escorting Christina to Tianjin, although he hired a passenger steamer, he was not good at revealing the identity of the Sanpin Major, but a squadron of more than 100 armed soldiers still had to be brought, and now they all lived in this hotel, this money was paid by Rong Lu temporarily, and he went back to the Zongren Mansion to receive the silver.

"Mr. Rong, thank you." Although Christina knew the reason why Rong Lu was so respectful to her, she was still very grateful to him for protecting and caring for him all the way.

Rong Lu was busy smiling, and was about to withdraw from the pesky native monkey Matsula, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the suite, and then the door was pushed open, and a large group of people came in, all young men in black uniforms walked in with a mild-looking young nobleman.

In a trance, I didn't see the appearance of this young nobleman, because some people could have made you ignore his appearance, or rather, his own bearing was no longer describable by his appearance, Rong Lu only felt that this noble man was as gentle as jade, but people didn't dare to look at him directly.

A large number of people suddenly poured in, Rong Lu's first reaction was to pull out the fire gun on his waist, but at this moment, he suddenly didn't dare to move, his back was soaked in cold sweat, a natural intuition, he seemed to be able to vaguely guess who it was.

Christina's slightly icy deep blue eyes suddenly melted at this moment, but the sudden encounter without any psychological preparation was so unexpected, she suddenly thought that she hadn't looked in the mirror and put on makeup, he, in his eyes, was she not beautiful enough?

Seeing Christina nervously reaching out for her sideburns and blonde hair, Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Silly girl, very handsome, do you miss me?" ”

Gentle words, Christina suddenly had a sour nose, walked a few steps with high heels, and threw herself into Ye Zhao's arms, she didn't cry, just hugged Ye Zhao and didn't let go, Ye Zhao hugged her with a smile and whispered comfort in her ear.

Rong Lu, Xiao Tao, Masura and the guards hurriedly retreated.

"Okay, cry if you want to." I haven't seen her for a few years, Ye Zhao can't help but be a little emotional, gently kissing Christina's milk-like smooth face, deep and charming blue eyes, and high nose bridge............ When Rong Lu, Masula, Xiao Tao and the others were summoned in by Ye Zhao more than an hour later, Christina had already turned into a finger twister under the intimate words, snuggling affectionately on the sofa next to Ye Zhao, and no one else could be seen in her eyes.

"Sit down." Ye Zhao made a gesture.

Rong Lu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Slave ......, the little one doesn't dare." ”

Ye Zhao met Rong Lu for the first time, stared at him a few times, and said, "You are very good. ”

Rong Lu's bones were immediately light, and he wanted to kowtow to thank him, but he hurriedly stood on his waist and said respectfully: "The little one is dead." ”

Ye Zhao looked at Xiao Tao again and said, "The errand is good." ”

The inner guards didn't need to kneel down from time to time, Xiao Tao's little face was shining, and he bowed down to receive the favor.

Ye Zhao glanced at Masula and said, "You have worked hard to accompany my friend on the journey to chat." ”

Rong Lu's heart jumped, his back was immediately wet with cold sweat, he didn't think it through, and he really didn't know the identity of the noblewoman, this thing can be done badly, do you want to slaughter this indigenous monkey to calm his old man's thunderous anger?

But Rong Lu secretly glanced at Ye Zhao out of the corner of his eye, and he really couldn't see any clues, but the will of heaven was unpredictable, how could he figure it out? For a while, he ran out of ideas, and it was difficult to make a decision.

Fortunately, someone broke the siege at this time, Zheng Aqiao hurriedly entered, and whispered beside Ye Zhao: "Master, Liu San is outside, ask if you want Nanyang Ji Tuina." ”

"Liu San? Is the hotel his? Ye Zhao frowned. He knew that the Liu San that Zheng Aqiao was talking about was Liu Sanye, who gambled and cheated with him last night.

Zheng Aqiao said: "Yes, it should be Lord Rong's pomp that alarmed him, but he didn't know the bottom either, thinking that it was a military attache from Nanyang, so he came to make friends." ”

Zheng Aqiao and Liu San didn't meet last night, and Liu San didn't know that the owner of the room was the young nobleman who gambled with him last night.

Ye Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Call it." Christina came all the way from San Francisco to Tianjin, and after a tiring journey, massage can also relieve fatigue as soon as possible.

Zheng Aqiao answered, and went to open the door, and then a row of girls rushed in, it seems that Liu San is elegant, and everyone is waiting outside, but he himself was stopped outside.

In the early spring, this row of girls wore extremely revealing clothes, all red silk lotus leaf skirts, and the skirts were extremely short, like miniskirts, revealing their snow-white legs, and white socks embroidered slippers, which added to the temptation.

Ye Zhao glanced at it, and was slightly stunned, these dozen or so girls should be mixed-race, with a unique temperament, but they can all be seen.

Ye Zhao asked Zheng Aqiao: "What did you say they were just now?" Nanyang Hime? ”

Zheng Aqiao said: "Yes, Liu San said, these are all descendants of Spaniards and Nanyang natives. ”

Ye Zhao snorted, pointed at one of them casually, and the other girls all withdrew.

Ye Zhao whispered to Christina: "Go to the room to relax and relax, and sleep well." ”

Although Christina was reluctant to leave Ye Zhao's warm embrace, she was naturally obedient, but just when she was half-lying on Ye Zhao's side and half getting up, Nanyang Ji, who was left, suddenly exclaimed, and the bamboo basket in her hand fell to the ground, but she saw her looking at Masula with disbelief on her face, and retreated step by step.

Xiao Tao took a few steps up and twisted her arm behind her, and at the same time, Zheng Aqiao also pressed Masula to the wall.

When Rong Lu reacted, Nanyang Ji and Masula had been subdued, and two guards touched their hands behind their waists, staring at Rong Lu gloomily and said, "Don't move!" ”

It seemed that they couldn't easily draw their guns in front of the Great Emperor, but Rong Lu believed that as long as he moved slightly, there would be a few more bloody holes in his chest immediately.

Rong Lu's face turned white with fright, isn't this unlucky? What the hell is going on? Although he was not familiar with Masula, it was obvious that the native monkey was counted on his head, and he was counted as the one he brought, and he could not escape the involvement.

Masula struggled, but where could he break free from Zheng Aqiao's iron tongs, such a struggle, his throat was almost crushed, and his swarthy face instantly turned purple.

Nanyang Ji shouted angrily, but then was pressed to the ground by Xiao Tao.

Christina didn't know what was going on for a while, let alone how to react, and stood there in a daze.

Ye Zhao waved his hand at Zheng Aqiao and said, "Let him go and tell him to talk." ”

As soon as Zheng Aqiao relaxed slightly, Masura immediately knelt down in front of Ye Zhao from a distance, kowtowed vigorously, and muttered something, obviously he could also see that Ye Zhao was the master of this house.

Ye Zhao looked at Rong Lu and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Rong Lu's face turned pale, where did he bother to learn these local words?

Finally, Masura suddenly woke up, and in a stiff Central Plains dialect, she kowtowed and begged: "Lord China, you are a good person, please let Leah go, she, she is my fiancée, you are a merciful God, please forgive me for my recklessness!" ”

Although his tone was strange, Ye Zhao understood it, and said strangely: "It's normal for your fiancée to come to the concession to make a living, what the hell is going on?" ”

Masula shook her head desperately, tears flashed in her eyes, and said sadly: "No, no, no, she was arrested, they were all arrested, I, I don't know the details, I only know that she was captured by human traffickers and captured China, so that's why I came to her." ”

Ye Zhao frowned slightly.

Masura was already talking to Nanyang Ji, Nanyang Ji just cried at first, and was yelled at by Masura a few words before replying to his words, and then Masura turned around and kowtowed hard: "Lord China, they were all captured, Leah was arrested three months ago, she said that she also saw many Luzon people who were captured before, the most beautiful of them were trained to sing, dance, and massage, and if they were not beautiful, they were called like slaves, and there were companions who were beaten to death...... China, China, you, don't spoil Leah, please, please." ......" Before the words fell, he was slapped a few times by Zheng Aqiao, and scolded: "What is the identity of my master, don't you want your tongue?" ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand, frowned and asked, "You mean to catch, aren't you buying?" ”

The corners of Masula's mouth were pumped to the point of blood foam, but he knew that at this moment, between his net worth and surname, how strong the Central Plains was, and it was a great honor to have Chinese nationality in Nanyang.

Ye Zhao's questioning made him stagnant, but he didn't dare to lie, and lowered his head and said: "I heard, I heard that most of them were captured by the tribe and sold to Chinese merchants, but some of them were directly arrested by the Chinese merchant group, but, but I'm afraid that they are fake Chinese......, I heard that Chinese are all people of high moral character......"

Ye Zhao knew that he was not wearing a high hat for the Chinese, but he couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed, groaned slightly, and waved his hand to signal Zheng Aqiao to take them down.
