How much of the silver grain allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief over the years fell into the hands of the victims, and how much was corrupted by greedy ink, Zheng Changdong had already found out clearly. and took Master Du's master and mentioned it in front of Huo Sijin and Chu Zheng.

The master didn't dare to hide it, and said everything he knew at the moment, "The disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court every year can only fall into the hands of the disaster victims at most." ”

"Three points?" Huo Sijin's face sank, "What about the remaining seven points?" "If it is said that Lord Du is greedy, Huo Sijin doesn't believe it.

In the past few days, Huo Sijin has also learned a little about Lord Du, this Lord Du is proud of being a scholar and attaches great importance to etiquette and upbringing, of course, it is only on the surface, but it is not completely the case on the inside, which is somewhat similar to Chu Li.

The most important thing is that Master Du is not a bold person, if you really talk about boldness, I am afraid that he is not as good as his wife Hu. It's true that Lord Du is greedy for ink, but with so much silver, he doesn't have the courage to swallow it all alone.

"Every year, the master can get at most one or two points, and the rest ......," the master paused, "It seems that they were all taken by the people above." ”

"Who's the guy up there?" Huo Sijin's eyes raised slightly, this is what she wants to know most, it is not enough to solve a Du Yan, the most important thing is the characters above.

The master shook his head, "This villain doesn't know, only the master knows." ”

"You are his master and his confidant, how could you not know?" Huo Sijin said in a deep voice, "Say! Don't try to hide it in front of this official, otherwise this official will never spare it! ”

The sharp tone scared the master half to death, and his face was as white as paper, "My lord, the villain really doesn't know, Lord Du never mentions the things above, and asks the adults to find out." As he spoke, he kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

Huo Sijin and Zheng Changdong made a look, Zheng Changdong understood, and gagged the master and took him away.

"Even his henchman doesn't know, it seems that only Master Du himself knows." Huo Sijin and Chu Zheng said.

Chu Zheng's fingers lightly tapped on a few cases, "Then pry his mouth open, Changjin, you must handle this matter before returning to the capital." ”

Huo Sijin nodded, "Changjin understands. ”

As the two were talking, Zheng Changqing's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master Huo, Miss Du asks to see you." ”

Miss Du?

A hint of surprise flashed in the star's eyes, Huo Sijin looked at Chu Zheng, this Miss Du shouldn't have come to find Chu Zheng, right?

She felt she had guessed correctly.

Chu Zheng shook her with a knife, Huo Sijin hurriedly retracted his gaze, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not someone she can make a fuss.

"Tianxing, you must be tired too, go back and rest for a while." As he spoke, Huo Sijin didn't forget to point behind the screen.

This was originally a guest room, Huo Sijin ordered someone to clean it up and use it as a study, and this screen was originally a thing in the room, and Huo Sijin was inconvenient for people to move it, so it was still placed in the room. The soft collapse was moved behind the screen as a temporary rest area.

Chu Zheng walked behind the screen as she said. No matter how bold Miss Du is, she doesn't dare to come behind the screen to find someone.

Not long after, Miss Du walked in, Chu Zheng's kick was not light, even if she had been in bed for almost a month, her body was still weak, and she needed the support of a maid to walk.

Du Ziyu walked forward slowly, and saw that Huo Sijin was the only one in the room, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

"The little girl has seen Lord Huo, and the adult is blessed." Miss Du saluted and moved slowly.

Huo Sijin waved his hand, "Miss Du doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what Miss Du has to do with the official?" Please also make it clear that this official is really busy with official business. ”

The implication is that she has something to do, and she doesn't have much time to chat with her, so she just speaks straight when she has something to say, and she doesn't have to beat around the bush.

Huo Sijin's words were not polite, but because Du Ziyu was a girl, her tone was calm and not aggressive.

However, Du Ziyu's heart was still chuckling, and she felt that Master Huo was not happy about her arrival.

"Lord Huo, the little girl has offended adults a lot before, and she has always been reluctant to go, so I came here today to make amends to the adults." As he spoke, Du Ziyu respectfully saluted Huo Sijin.

Huo Sijin couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, this Miss Du was really obsessed, her ribs were broken by Chu Zheng, and she didn't give up. I really don't know whether to call her infatuated or stupid.

"Miss Du, this matter has passed, and Ling Zun also said that no one needs to mention the past."

Huo Sijin sat down and said with a serious attitude: "Since Miss Du has already said everything she wants to say, and the official still has official business to do, Miss Du will please go back." ”

The order was evicted, but Du Ziyu still refused to leave, and hurriedly said: "Lord Huo, that day, the little girl didn't know that she offended you, and Xie Tianxing Xie Gongzi, I don't know if the adult can invite Xie Gongzi to come, and let the little girl apologize to him, otherwise the little girl will really feel uneasy." ”

During this period of time, Du Ziyu's only gain was that he finally found out what Chu Zheng's name was.

His name is Xie Tianxing, and Du Ziyu recites this name in his heart every day. Thinking about it day and night, she found that she had completely fallen in love with him and could no longer extricate herself.

Huo Sijin sighed in his heart, and said in his stomach: "Miss Du, it is impossible for you and Your Highness to do so. Don't say that Your Highness doesn't like you, if you continue to be entangled like this, he will only dislike you more and more.

"Miss Du, there's no need, I have already said it, this matter has passed, and there is no need to mention it again. Tianxing has official business to do, and he doesn't have time to listen to you, so please go back and don't come to him again in the future. Huo Sijin's tone was a little colder.

Since good words don't make sense, then there is no need to be polite, the more polite the attitude, the more polite it will make Du Ziyu think that there is still room for turnaround.

Hearing this unceremonious answer, Du Ziyu's brows furrowed tightly, "Lord Huo, but you annoyed the little girl?" ”

"The little girl has already made a mistake, and I ask Lord Huo to do a lot, don't worry about the little girl anymore."

Huo Sijin felt that her brain hurt, why didn't this girl understand. She said it very clearly, and repeatedly emphasized that whether he was the crown prince Chu Zheng or the guard Xie Tianxing, it was impossible for him to have a little affection for Du Ziyu.

"Miss Du, I heard Master Du say that you have been familiar with women's rings since you were a child, and you are a real lady. Please forgive Huo's blunt words, Miss Du, as a woman who has not left the cabinet, it is best to meet with foreign men. ”

It's all said and done, but anyone who is a little light-skinned should know how to retreat, right?

Sure enough, Du Ziyu's pretty face turned crimson, and Huo Sijin's words clearly meant that she was misbehaving and violated her reputation.

"Come on, send Miss Du out." Huo Sijin glanced at Zheng Changqing and hurriedly sent this girl out.

Zheng Changqing understood, and hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hand at Du Ziyu, "Miss Du, please!" ”

Zheng Changqing has been by Chu Zheng's side for many years, of course he knows Chu Zheng's temperament, if this Miss Du doesn't leave, I'm afraid she will be kicked again.

He had never seen His Royal Highness pity any woman, even the Lord of Hening had never softened His Highness's heart, let alone Du Ziyu.

Rao is Du Ziyu, no matter how thick-skinned she is, she can't stand such words, not to mention that she is a thin-skinned person.

Bei Yan bit his lower lip tightly, and Du Ziyu was silent for a moment before leaving.

After she left, Huo Sijin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she finally left, she didn't know if Chu Zheng couldn't help but rush out and kick her out.

If Chu Zheng really did this, Huo Sijin still had to think about it, should she stop it?

Don't stop it, right? The affairs of the Du family have not yet been clarified, and Miss Du was beaten to death at this time, which is a little inappropriate. Stopped, right? She is Chu Zheng's strategist, how can there be a reason for a strategist to take care of the master's affairs.

Huo Sijin thought about it, it was really embarrassing!

After Du Ziyu came back from Huo Sijin, the pear blossoms that cried on the table brought rain.

"Miss, don't cry, if this is known by Madame, how can it be good?" Xiu'er hurriedly said.

Du Ziyu fell in love with Chu Zheng, where did she dare to tell Mrs. Du, Mrs. Du was full of hope that Du Ziyu could marry a high-ranking family, and she would definitely not look down on a mere guard.

Xiu'er was a clever person, she knew that if it was for the good of the young lady, she would definitely have to tell Madame about it, but she didn't dare. If Mrs. knew that the young lady pretended to be a maid and secretly went to see Huo Sijin, but she fell in love with a guard by mistake, the idea itself was her, and the first thing that Mrs. couldn't spare was her.

There was no way, Xiu'er could only try her best to persuade Du Ziyu to prevent her from doing something out of the ordinary.

"Miss, then Gongzi Xie is just a guard, his identity is not worthy of you, why should you be persistent?" Xiu'er couldn't help but persuade.

According to Xiu'er's point of view, Huo Sijin wants to have a family background and a good look, such a talent is a match for Du Ziyu, why did Du Ziyu fall in love with a guard?

"I know he's not right for me, but I just like him." Du Ziyu cried and said, "Xiu'er, do you know? I liked him the first time I saw him. I want to forget him, but I can't. These days, all I think about is him. ”

It's hard to suppress herself, but she can't even see his face. Du Ziyu's tears flowed, like pearls with broken threads, dripping on the placket.

"Xiu'er, you have a lot of ideas, you can help me think about what I should do." Du Ziyu looked at Xiu'er with teary eyes.

Du Ziyu expected Xiu'er to give her ideas, but Xiu'er's heart was like a fire, and when she came up with ideas, how could she dare to give her ideas. If the lady and the lord knew about this, they would definitely break her legs.

Xiu'er regretted it very much at the moment, why did she give the young lady an idea in the first place and let her secretly pretend to be a maid to meet Master Huo? If Du Ziyu didn't go to the guest house, there would be no future.

Xiu'er cried out in her heart: My good young lady, you can spare the slave maid.
