"What do you mean?" Xingyu was puzzled.

Yao Yuran paused and explained, "If it weren't for nothing, he wouldn't come to me, he must know that I went to find Mu Chengfeng, and this matter must not be known by my husband, otherwise he will be jealous." ”

Yao Yuran only thought about it, going to seal Chu Xiao's mouth tomorrow, drinking the ginger soup, the coolness subsided, and she also went back to the room.

The sun was pouring in the morning, and after a heavy rain, the sky was much clearer, and the birds were perched on the eaves and chirping, as if to wake people up from their dreams.

Chu Xiao was the one who was woken up, he yawned and opened the door, but he was suddenly startled by a pink figure standing in front of him.

"Mrs. Zhao, what are you doing?" Chu Xiao patted his chest, and asked helplessly after being shocked.

Yao Yuran clasped his hands around his chest and looked at him with ill intentions, "What did you come to me to do last night, I'm here, if you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

Chu Xiao helplessly held his forehead, and then waved his hand perfunctorily and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you go back, don't stop me from eating." ”

After speaking, his footsteps were about to step out of the threshold, but Yao Yuran stopped him with his arm, and looked at him suspiciously, "Master Chu, do you know that I went to find Mu Chengfeng, I need you to keep this matter secret for me, don't tell Hengzhi." ”

Chu Xiao rolled her eyes, swept her hand away, and said earnestly, "I guessed that you would go to Chengfeng, and I came to you last night for this matter, just to give you a wake-up call." ”

"Wake up?" Yao Yuran asked with a frown, and Chu Xiao looked at her with a straight face.

"Since you have already guessed who the person who robbed the disaster relief food is, and also told Chengfeng, then this matter, for your good, and for the good of Lord Zhao, it is best not to interfere again, otherwise it will be bad for you, you also know what a sinister person Prime Minister Wen is, I believe that Chengfeng does not want you to get involved."

Yao Yuran didn't think about this problem, but it was not up to her to intervene, but to Zhao Hengzhi.

He is the county order, there is a problem in the jurisdiction, the food is the life-saving straw of the people under him, the grain of Mingxianglou is counted again, not all of it is there, and half of it has disappeared for no reason, which has aroused the anger of the people, if you don't meddle in the affairs, how can you be worthy of his official position, and it is difficult to calm the anger of the people.

Yao Yuran said calmly, "I can ignore it, but this matter has a great impact, if Hengzhi doesn't interfere, I'm afraid that someone will sue the court, and he will be embarrassed left and right, I believe he will have his own choice." ”

"Lord Zhao is a very upright person, I know he will take care of it, but it is about Prime Minister Wen, and he doesn't even dare to offend Hou Ye, if he offends a county order, if he investigates thoroughly, your future life will never be better, I hope to do what I can." Chu Xiao persuaded kindly, and even had an idea in his heart.

But before he could say his claim, he was directly inserted by an angry voice, "Chu Xiao, why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death!" This is the life-saving food of the common people, if you don't want to take care of it, forget it, and let Lord Zhao ignore it, so who is in charge of the poor people? ”

Ye Junjun wanted to come out of the room, but she heard all the conversations between Chu Xiao and Yao Yuran, and she couldn't help but count on the spot

Chu Xiao.

Even Yao Yuran felt that Chu Xiao was too greedy for life and afraid of death, so he echoed Ye Junjun's words.

"Dealing with the flood and helping the people is the task given to Hengzhi by the imperial court, which is his own duty and reuses him, I believe that how to choose, he will be clear, and you don't need to advocate for him."

"Chu Xiao, I don't allow you to meddle in this matter!" Ye Junjun raised his eyebrows, and his hands crossed his waist to warn Chu Xiaodao.

Chu Xiao looked at the two women who blamed them in confusion before they understood what they said, and couldn't help but helplessly hold their foreheads.

"Stop both of you, and you're in such a hurry before I finish my words? I don't mean to let Lord Zhao take care of it, but it is only appropriate for this management to protect yourself, I am afraid that you will be enthusiastic and take risks, and in the end you will lose your wife and soldiers! ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Junjun twisted his eyebrows and asked, only feeling that Chu Xiao still had something to say.

Sure enough, Chu Xiao crossed between the two of them, like a sacred person, and felt that he should have his own light in this way, but he was slapped on the back by Yao Yuran's big palm, and immediately revealed his witty temperament.

"If you have something to say, don't hang us all the time!" Yao Yuran was already impatient.

Chu Xiao sighed that his glorious image was lost, but he still looked like he was holding his head high and said something that shocked both Yao Yuran and Ye Junjun.

"We have a reason for the grain money allocated by the imperial court, and we can't move it at present, but we can use our own private money to sell grain.

Isn't it enough to solve the problem of satiety for the people? ”

After speaking, Chu Xiao still had a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and when he looked up, his eyes were still ruddy as dramatic.

Ye Junjun looked at him like a fool, saw the reality clearly, and reminded, "That's good, have you ever thought that there are so many people in Micheng, and Lord Zhao's private money is only how much, it is estimated that there is no private money, and the public funds of the yamen cannot be moved, it is used for emergency use in the officialdom in the future, where to find a thousand taels of silver to buy food, this is not a matter that can be solved by dozens of taels!" ”

Yao Yuran also felt that Chu Xiaoti's solution was too naïve and not close to reality at all, so it was better to steal all the relief food back.

"Lord Chu, if we pay money, at most five hundred taels, but this is almost half of the net worth, and the symptoms are not cured, the financial resources are greatly damaged, and it is not a good way to let the corrupt officials succeed, rather than this, it is better to block the fate and compete with those corrupt officials, if you can defeat it, it is the best."

"What if not?" Chu Xiao asked, Ye Junjun came out and interjected, "What if you can't, the right is a failure, although Prime Minister Wen Cheng is a court official, but don't forget, Brother Hengzhi is the son of Hou Ye, and Sister Yao is the daughter of Shangshu, although at the moment Brother Hengzhi is only a county order, but the background is not bad, Prime Minister Wen really dares to fight with one enemy and two enemies, I think that the pursuit of that day is just to kill chickens and monkeys." ”

Ye Junjun's words are all reasonable, but Chu Xiao has always pursued stability in his work, and thoroughly investigating the disaster relief food incident will only offend Prime Minister Wen, if that person initiates a ruthless attack and exterminates the entire county order, then Zhao Hengzhi's justice is really asking for his own hardship.

"Silver

You don't have to worry about the matter, I'll give you this money! Chu Xiao was unprepared as soon as Ding opened his mouth, extremely arrogant, shocking Yao Yuran and Yue Yiyi.

"Lord Chu, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you come out of this money, no, this matter of paying private money is conniving at the corruption of corrupt officials, and it must not start. After being shocked, Yao Yuran immediately stopped.

Although this was also the first time she had seen Chu Xiao's magnanimity and justice, she was a little moved, but this matter was not child's play, how could she ask him to give all that hard-earned money, so she didn't give him a chance to refuse.

Chu Xiao looked at her with an attitude of not crying when she didn't see the coffin, and reminded Zhengse: "The so-called arms can't twist the thighs, and there are many court officials who gang up with Prime Minister Wen, and if Marquis Zhao and Yao Shangshu have a trace of status and majesty in his eyes, they will not say anything about the past." ”

The words are ugly, but Ye Junjun listened to it, after thinking about it, it is not unreasonable, Prime Minister Wen Cheng is indeed very courageous, even if he does a lot of bad things, but he is very popular in the DPRK, even his father can't resist him, but he looks down on him very much, so he doesn't associate with Prime Minister Wen Cheng.

Yao Shangshu and Zhao Houye don't like to drill the horns of the bull at first glance, and the lord who will uphold justice is that she Ye Junjun did not see the distribution of forces in the Qing Dynasty, so she would be lonely and brave to ask Zhao Hengzhi to intervene in this matter.

"Chu Xiao, I suddenly found out that you are right, although you are idle with both hands, but you promised to give out the silver two, which is also due to justice, and it must be for the good of Brother Hengzhi."

Ye Junjun grabbed Chu Xiao's arm, suddenly changed his attitude, and his face was ashamed, "I just misunderstood you!" ”

Yao Yuran crossed three black lines on his forehead, this Ye Junjun is also too grassy, it is simply the wind blowing on both sides!

Although everyone tacitly mentioned the matter of disaster relief food when they came back from Minglou, they also understood that half of the food was missing, and Zhang Manzhou was unwilling to confess the mastermind behind the scenes, and he must be afraid that his power would reach the sky, and the people who could be powerful must be inseparable from the imperial court.

Everyone didn't mention it, and it was just because they were afraid of offending the court officials and asking for their own hardships, but if this matter was not taken over, it would only cause endless troubles.

Ever since he knew that Prime Minister Wen was involved, Yao Yuran trembled and remembered the Mu family's extermination incident back then, that is, the consequences of conniving at corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and ruining dozens or even hundreds of lives.

Thoroughly investigate the food disaster, Zhao Hengzhi did not express his position, but Yao Yuran will definitely discuss with him, it is also his choice to care about it, if he doesn't care, as Chu Xiao said, he privately paid for the disaster and paid out of his pocket to deal with the victims, but if he wants to take care of it, he must be prepared to resist all difficulties, after all, it is not easy to take risks, and everything needs to be considered clearly, so as to be stable step by step.

It's just that...... Yao Yuran still had a lot of worries in her heart, she bit her lip and meditated, not knowing how to talk to Zhao Hengzhi about this matter so as not to cause him to misunderstand.

If this matter is managed, once Prime Minister Wen is involved, it will inevitably involve Mu Chengfeng, Mu Chengfeng is Zhao Hengzhi's rival, if it is thoroughly investigated, I am afraid that Zhao Hengzhi will think that she wants to avenge the Mu family's murder, and she will be so open-minded if she still has affection for Mu Chengfeng, Yao Yuran only feels that it is difficult to speak.

"Sister Yao, let's listen to Chu Xiao about this matter, I will also give a part of the silver for disaster relief food!"

Just when Yao Yuran was entangled and didn't know how to speak, Ye Junjun came over and grabbed her arm and persuaded her, Yao Yuran exhaled heavily, and she was out of line.

"This thing...... I'll think again! ”
