Although the prime minister and others stayed for a few more days, they did not stay for a long time.

The crowd stayed in the last city for about two days.

During this time, Su Xiaoman was not idle, she helped the prefect here distribute food to the people.

The grain distributed here was distributed quarterly, but this time it was only divided into quarters.

At first, Su Xiaoman thought that it should be better to divide it by week, so that there would be no food at the end.

But if you think about it, the people here have been affected, so they will control their own use.

Su Xiaoman, who wanted to understand, accepted this suggestion, and of course Xiaotong had already sorted out the calculated bills.

After Su Xiaoman saw it, he handed it over to the elderly prefect and asked him to deal with it.

The prefect, who was supervising the distribution of food, took the paper handed over from Su Xiaoman's hand, read it carefully, and then asked.

"What does Su Shangshu mean, how should this notice be handled?"

The prefect looked at the notice in his hand, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and the subsidies due to each person were recorded here.

Su Xiaoman looked at the prefect with trembling hands, and then said.

"That's right, I mean to put this notice out there, and make it public to the people for justice."

The prefect trembled his hands at this time, he didn't expect this Su Shangshu to be so wise, and then said excitedly.

"Okay, Su Shangshu is wise, the next official will do it."

After the prefect finished speaking, he called the people around him, and then asked them to post it.

After the explanation, the overseer continued to distribute the food.

The people came prepared, with small carts transporting grain, lined up at the gate of the county government one after another, very orderly.

When the people saw that someone from the county government came out to put up a notice, they listened carefully to what the people from the county government had to say.

After hearing about the quarterly subsidy, the people's faces showed a smile of relief.

"The emperor is wise."

I don't know who took the lead, but at this time, many people in line said in unison that the emperor was wise.

Su Xiaoman listened to the sincere voice, and was very relieved.

This visit was not in vain, the purpose of promoting the royal family was achieved, and there were some unexpected gains.

Su Xiaoman thought about what had happened in the past half a month, and looked at the smiles on the faces of the people after receiving the food.

She also felt a different warmth in her heart, and at this time, Su Xiaoman thought of Lu Li, who was far away in Shangjing, and thought silently in her heart

'This matter is finally coming to an end, Lu Li is waiting for me, and I will be able to go back to Beijing to meet you soon. ’

Two days later, Su Xiaoman and the others packed their luggage and left the famine here.

Seeing Su Xiaoman and his party leave the city in a mighty manner, the heart of the prefect at the gate of the city finally relaxed.

In the past few days, he has always been afraid that he will not take good care of some of the places, for fear that the prime minister will be angry with him if he is not happy.

The prefect looked at the distant back, and sighed in his heart, fortunately, Su Shangshu is a good official.

cause

Su Xiaoman said before that he would mention the matter of collecting taxes to the emperor, so the prefect at this time was still looking forward to future reforms.

Su Xiaoman and his entourage, because they didn't have the silver taels and grain when they came, so they traveled much faster.

But because the prime minister didn't like to walk at night, everyone probably stayed at night if they could find an inn, and camped to rest if they didn't, so a lot of time was wasted.

After Su Xiaoman and the others drove for two days, Lu Li, who went to Beijing, received the letter that Su Xiaoman had written to him before.

At noon that day, the little eunuch in the palace received a letter from Su Xiaoman to the emperor.

Looking at the heavy envelope in his hand, the little eunuch said with a secret smile.

"Now the emperor will be happier, Lord Su has written so many words to the emperor, presumably on the way back to Beijing."

The little eunuch whispered to himself and hurried into the upper study.

Lu Li heard the footsteps outside, he keenly raised it and drove away, and watched the little eunuch rush in from outside in a hurry.

Lu Li looked at the little eunuch's hurried appearance, and then frowned and reprimanded.

"Why are you in such a hurry, be steady."

The little eunuch hurriedly walked to the emperor's side, and then heard the emperor's reprimand, and felt a little weak.

The little eunuch immediately saluted, and then said weakly.

"For a small crime, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Lu Li didn't actually blame him, so he motioned for him to get up, remembering how he was in a hurry when he came in, he asked.

"What is it that makes you so hurried to tell me about it?"

As soon as the little eunuch was reprimanded by Lu Li, he forgot about Su Xiaoman's message.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, the little eunuch suddenly remembered, and raised his head and said to Lu Li excitedly.

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing, Su Shangshu has sent a message."

The little eunuch said excitedly, and casually handed the letter he had just received to Lu Li.

Lu Li took the letter in his hand, estimated the thickness, and then opened it and read it in detail.

The little eunuch thought that the emperor would be very happy after seeing it, but as the emperor looked back, his face became more and more unsightly.

The little eunuch saw that the emperor's face was not very good, so he didn't dare to come forward to disturb him, so he had to stand quietly aside, waiting for the emperor's orders.

Lu Li looked at the letter from Su Xiaoman in his hand, and his expression darkened.

It took a long time to raise his head, and the little eunuch looked at the anger exuding from the emperor's surroundings to kill, so he stood aside silently with his head down and didn't dare to speak.

Lu Li clenched his fists, then snorted coldly, looked at the little eunuch curled up on the side and spoke.

"You go down first. Do not come in without a command from me. ”

Xiao Tai restrained her trembling body, and then replied yes, and exited the upper study.

Lu Li clenched his fists, he didn't expect that there was already a place where the people were already miserable, and there were still people who embezzled, which was an unforgivable crime.

But now it is useless for Lu Li to be anxious, and only by waiting for Su Xiaoman to come back can this matter be solved.

Su Xiao

I was groggy on the way back to Beijing, and although I had a good rest at night, I always felt dizzy.

"Ah Qiu."

It may be the reason for the large temperature difference between day and night in autumn weather, so Su Xiaoman may be a sign of some cold.

Pearl heard the sound of her own lady sneezing, and hurriedly stepped forward to care.

"What's the matter, ma'am, suddenly sneezed. Could it be that you have a cold? ”

Not only does Pearl care about her, but Pandan is also beside her.

Su Xiaoman looked at the two girls beside him, then waved his hand and said.

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired, just drink more hot water when you rest."

Her own body, she is still quite clear in her heart, her physical fitness is not bad, so this kind of small problem is generally not a big deal.

Pearl Xianglan listened to Su Xiaoman's explanation, and then she was still very worried about her.

Knowing that Su Xiaoman began to wave his hand, the two of them returned to their seats.

Xianglan also found a blanket for Su Xiaoman before leaving, and then draped it on Su Xiaoman's body.

Su Xiaoman felt the warmth of his body and said thank you softly.

When Xianglan heard that thank you, she didn't know what touched her heart, and the frequency of beating was obviously much faster.

Xianglan controlled her emotions, then hurriedly said what she should do, and returned to her seat.

Su Xiaoman sat on the main seat, holding the blanket tightly with both hands, and then fell asleep groggyly.

After nearly ten days of travel, Su Xiaoman's team slowly entered and exited the boundary of Shangjing at noon.

Su Xiaoman was taken care of by the hot water, and his spirit was obviously recovering well.

At this time, Su Xiaoman lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then looked at the familiar scenery outside.

Although it is autumn, the countryside is also very friendly with falling leaves.

Looking at the scenery at this time, Su Xiaoman thought of Lu Li in his heart, and thought that he must take Lu Li here to have a look in a few days.

After entering the city gate, it was Shi Jizhen and Huang Fengyi who came to greet them this time.

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Su Xiaoman poked his head out of the carriage, looked at his friends who he hadn't seen for a long time, and thought about stepping forward to give them a long-lost hug.

But because the prime minister was still present, Su Xiaoman controlled himself and did not make a mistake.

Shi Jizhen saw that the prime minister and the others showed their heads, so he bent over and saluted and said.

"Welcome to the Prime Minister, Lord Shangshu, and the two Chamberlains have returned to Beijing smoothly, and the emperor has sent us to greet us this time."

The prime minister looked at the two juniors who came to greet him, and then said perfunctorily.

"It's hard work, and this trip is tired, let's go back quickly!"

Regarding the plot against Su Xiaoman, it is not too late to say it later, so the prime minister just wants to go back to the house early to rest.

Shi Jizhen listened to the prime minister's words, and hurriedly responded.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true, and the lower officials will send someone to send the Prime Minister back to his home."

Saying that, Shi Ji Zhen instructed the soldiers behind him to escort the prime minister and others all the way back to the house.

The squire of the military department

There was no need for any soldiers to escort her, so the remaining soldiers followed Su Xiaoman and escorted her back to Lu Mansion.

Shi Jizhen and the others were not polite, so after watching the prime minister and the others leave, they rubbed into Su Xiaoman's car.

Su Xiaoman looked at the two people he hadn't seen for nearly a month, and he was very emotional.

Before the carriage could start running, Shi Jizhen leaned over and asked.

"How about Xiaoman, is the time going smoothly this time?"

Su Xiaoman knew that he was a gossip character, and then pretended to think about it, and then said.

"It's okay to make progress, but some things are a little troublesome."

As soon as he heard about the trouble, Shi Jizhen became interested.

Su Xiaoman looked at him and knew that Lu Li must not have anyone to discuss.

Su Xiaoman deliberately didn't speak first, hanging his appetite, and then waited until Shi Ji was really anxious before he slowly spoke.

"It's better to have ears on the partition wall first, or go back and say it."
