His eyes were extremely firm, but there was a smile on his face, and Zhen Chutian at this time gave the thief a chilling feeling, his throat was tight, and he couldn't say a word.

Yes, the smile on Zhen Chutian's face became even stronger, and he said that it was too late, and the long sword was already against the thief's neck, "If you don't want to die, hand it over." ”

The time wasted was enough, and Zhen Chutian didn't want to continue to mess around with him here.

The thief was almost scared, his hands were raised high, he didn't dare to move, his eyes kept staring at the long sword in Zhen Chutian's hand, "Woman, give, can't you give it to you?" ”

"Cheng, take it out." Zhen Chutian motioned to the thief expressionlessly.

The thief trembled and took out the treasure in the baggage.

I finally saw this priceless treasure, and I always wondered what it was like, and now that I see it, it's really eye-catching.

Zhen Chutian took it and showed it to Gu Chenghan, his eyes full of disbelief, "My lord, is this priceless?" ”

Gu Chenghan naturally knew what Zhen Chutian was suspicious of, in fact, he had never seen this thing, it had always been the Zhang family who was talking about it, and then there were rumors from people outside, but they believed that it would not be groundless, this thing must have its value.

The thief saw that Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian were suspicious of this thing, so he interjected: "My lord, I have asked someone, this thing is really valuable, I didn't drop the bag, my head matters." ”

Afraid of being suspected of being a thief, he nervously explained.

Then it looks like this thing is really valuable.

got the things, Zhen Chutian directly pressed the thief and went to the yamen.

originally thought that after returning the things, he would be released, but now it seems that he can't escape.

The thieves were begging for mercy along the way, Zhen Chutian was hurt by what he said, so when he was about to arrive at the yamen, he looked at the thief angrily, "You say one more word, be careful that I let you die here." ”

This vicious appearance really stopped the thief, and he obediently shut up in an instant.

The prefect was waiting for Gu Chenghan in the yamen, and when he saw him coming, he quickly stepped forward and bowed, "My lord, the mansion and the disaster relief money are in the backyard, this is?" ”

Seeing Zhen Chutian dragging a man, the prefect was a little strange.

Zhen Chutian pointed at the thief, "The prefect told Second Master Zhang that the baby was found, this is a thief, you can do it yourself." ”

After speaking, she directly handed over the thief to the prefect, and the two of them went straight to the backyard.

The thief saw that he was handed over to the prefect like this and wanted to make a final struggle, "My lord, my lord, it's the fourth lady of Second Master Zhang, she asked me to steal something, I really don't want to steal it." ”

Hearing this, Zhen Chutian glanced back at the thief, and when he saw her stopping, the thief thought there was a play, and a smile appeared on his face, "My lord, what I said is true." ”

This will Zhen Chutian take a look at the thief, and then look at the prefect, "Invite the fourth lady together." ”

"Okay."

"I, I'm really just doing what I'm told." The thief saw that Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan ignored him, so he looked at the prefect and explained.

But the prefect had the leisure to listen to his nonsense, threw him a cold look, and threw it directly to the servant, "Let him shut up." ”

When is this, a thief, the prefect will take care of him so much.

Seeing that the official wanted to beat himself, the thief instantly shut up.

At this moment, Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan had already come to the backyard, and as soon as they arrived, they saw some big boxes placed in the entire courtyard, which should be disaster relief funds.

Zhen Chutian looked at the disaster relief funds, thinking that those hungry people had been saved, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Gu, Lord Zhen." ”

Fu Cheng saluted respectfully.

Seeing that the officials from the imperial court in the past were all petty officials, only the official position of the Fucheng was the biggest among them, and it seems that the empress still doesn't care about these hungry people.

Without the escort of the army and the restraint of big officials, if something happens halfway or is blocked by the local yamen, how many hours will it have to be delayed along the way?

Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian frowned, "Fucheng's journey is very difficult, right?" ”

It looked like a word of concern, but Zhen Chutian's eyebrows and eyes were full of words.

Fu Cheng looked at Zhen Chutian's eyes, and suddenly dodged a little and didn't dare to look directly at her spiritual eyes.

Zhen Chutian never felt that her eyes were any different from others, but others could see it clearly, her eyes were like a sharp sword, which could make you have nowhere to hide, and the more you wanted to hide in your heart, it seemed that it could be discovered through her eyes.

Seeing Fu Cheng dodging, Zhen Chutian was even more unhappy, "Fu Cheng, is this really a difficulty?" ”

"Lord Zhen is too worried, no."

"My lord, why don't you tell Lord Gu and Lord Zhen, officials from all over the country are asking for our passes along the way, and the robbers almost robbed us of the disaster relief money on the way, not to mention, the people in the government are deliberately delaying time." A guard standing beside Fu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly said to Zhen Chutian.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Fu Cheng frowned and scolded the guard, and then said to Gu Chenghan Fushen, "My lord, forgive me for the lack of strict discipline by the lower officials." ”

"It's okay, the official didn't lie when he saw him." Gu Chenghan stared at Fu Cheng.

Seeing Gu Chenghan like this, Fu Cheng felt a touch of panic in his heart, and his body pressed lower, "My lord, there is no such thing." ”

"None? What was supposed to be a five-day trip, do you know how much time you wasted? Do you know how many hungry people die of starvation for every quarter of an hour of your delay? Although Gu Chenghan is not a * person, but in the face of something that should not have happened, he has found out now, and it is still because of man-made, he is naturally resentful in his heart.

Seeing Gu Chenghan so angry, Fu Cheng had nothing to say, just waiting for him to fall.

"My lord, collect the disaster relief money first, and go to the disaster relief tomorrow." Zhen Chutian didn't want the two of them to be in such a stalemate.

Although Gu Chenghan didn't speak, he glanced at Zhen Chutian, and then went straight into the front hall.

Only Zhen Chutian was left in the courtyard.

After Gu Chenghan left, Fu Cheng looked at Zhen Chutian gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Zhen." ”

"Fu Cheng, you are the most recommended person by the old ministers of the court, what preferential treatment do you have along the way?" Zhen Chutian always felt that this was not the empress's doing.

If there are many hungry people dying, or if the hungry people riot will have a negative effect on her position as empress, she will not be embarrassed halfway.

But Zhen Chutian couldn't figure it out, since Fu Cheng didn't support the empress, why was it still difficult for him to escort the disaster relief funds?

After thinking about it, Zhen Chutian thought of the old prime minister, isn't it because of the old prime minister, so the mansion is not treated by the old ministers?

In fact, everyone said that Zhen Chutian was stained with the light of the empress's succession, so that he could enter the yamen, meet Li Qing, and then meet Gu Chenghan, so that he won step by step and became a rare case-solving talent in the court.

But Zhen Chutian clearly knew that she was not the empress's party, and the empress had never been in contact with her, and those pedantic ministers just thought that she was a woman, so she was naturally the empress's party.

Perhaps it was because of these pedantic old ministers that Zhen Chutian had a bias in his heart.

Reason told Zhen Chutian that no matter who is the official or the emperor in the court, as long as it is good to the people of Limin, she will support it, but now the empress has not done anything, and those old ministers have done a lot of ridiculous things, and now she has a scale in her heart, but now the balance is still stable.

Fu Cheng did not answer Zhen Chutian's words, but there was pathos between his eyebrows.

"Let's send Fu Cheng to rest first."

"Yes, Lord Zhen." The official listened to Zhen Chutian's words and took the mansion to the back room to rest.

At this time, there were only guards from the capital left in the courtyard, as well as the officials, who were counting the disaster relief funds, of course, Yu Linglong and others were guarding again, so naturally there would be no mistakes.

Zhen Chutian thought of the guard who was beside Fu Cheng, and directly pulled him to the side, "Have you been scolded all the way to Fu Cheng?" ”

When the guards saw that Zhen Chutian had no other intentions, and when Gu Chenghan was embarrassed, she also said a few good words, standing on the side of Fu Cheng, the guards relaxed their vigilance, looked around and whispered: "My lord, although our family Fu Cheng was pushed to this position by the old minister, I can see that they are just using my family again." ”

The guard's indignant appearance really had a bit of a protector's posture, Zhen Chutian nodded, "How do you say this?" ”

"My lord, if I tell you, you won't betray my family, right?" The guards are not stupid, but they are not very bright people, otherwise they would not say such childish things to Zhen Chutian here.

"Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Zhen Chutian swore to the guards.

It was the guards who were relieved, and they left the crowd with Zhen Chutian to a corner, and then told Zhen Chutian everything that happened on the way from the capital to the town.

Originally, Zhen Chutian still had some guesses in her heart, but now the guards have confirmed it for her.

It seems that although Fu Cheng is a party of old ministers, he is also walking on thin ice this day.

The old prime minister's family died unexpectedly, and there are such disgraceful things that everyone knows, in order to maintain his reputation, the old minister naturally has to draw a clear line with the mansion.

But they were afraid of falling into their mouths, so they took such drudgery on them, handed them over to him, and stumbled on the way, so that they could easily get rid of them from their henchmen?

Things are like this, Zhen Chutian only has hatred left now, if there is no personal emotion in what the guards say, then these old ministers are too selfish.

Even if you don't want the henchmen of Fu Cheng, you can't bet on the people of Limin, right?

Seeing Zhen Chutian's fierce face, the guard trembled and bowed down to look at her, "Adult, did the little one say the wrong thing?" ”

"No, you go and hand it over."

"Yes, sir."

The guards were shocked by Zhen Chutian's aura, and they didn't dare to stay here, so they ran away directly after receiving instructions.

Seeing that Yu Linglong put all the disaster relief money into the warehouse of the Yamen, she went to Gu Chenghan with her.

Fu Cheng and Gu Chenghan sat in the front hall, one with his head down, and the other casually eating tea.

In fact, Zhen Chutian understands Fu Cheng, in Lizhou, his wife is not friendly to Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan, and he may also think that Zhen Chutian is the empress's party, and Gu Chenghan is so close to her, so he preconceived that he and the two of them are the empress's party.
