Chapter 180: You can't go back
"Really?" Meng Yong's smiling voice suddenly came from the bed.
Zhao Chen raised his eyes in a daze, and smiled at him, and suddenly lost any sadness, and subconsciously wanted to shake his hand.
Meng Yong grabbed her, "You can hear it clearly, do you still have to pay the bill?" β
Without waiting for Zhao Chen to say anything, he hugged her back to the bed, laughing again and again, unable to hide the joy in his heart.
"Don't rub it! It's dirty! Zhao Chen dodged with disgust, "What are you pretending to be when you wake up?" Hurry up and take a shower! β
Meng Yong buried it in her neck and said vaguely: "I can't get up, I'm dizzy... Maybe my head was smashed, what should I do..."
The cloth towel on the back of his head was still oozing blood, and he did look pitiful, but the smile in his words betrayed him.
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes, "You are serious, it looks like it is going to rain heavily again this day, we have to rush back to Yingchun as soon as possible, can your injuries be okay?" β
"It was uncomfortable everywhere, but I heard some people say that they had to do it all over again...", he leaned into her ear and chuckled, "If it's serious, you can smash it again..."
Zhao Chen scolded him angrily, "Don't play poor, hurry up and wash up, and leave in a while-"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly sneezed loudly.
Meng Yong shook his head and smiled, got up and took off her wet shoes and socks, picked her up and walked out.
"What for?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Take a bath..."Meng Yong took it for granted, "can't you let my injured person wash himself?" Besides, look at the mud on your body, how clean you are compared to meβ"
Zhao Chen broke away from him with a cold hair, limping back a few steps, "I, I'm not used to being with others!" β
Without waiting for him to react, he picked up his shoes and fled, leaving Meng Yong, who simply wanted to take a bath together, looked puzzled.
After washing himself like a thief, Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really hard to do... In case one day Meng Yong knows the truth-
She couldn't help but shudder, and decided not to think about it for the time being, there was still an old child waiting for her to educate...
β¦β¦β¦
"How did you promise that?" Zhao Chen looked at Zhu Chongyuan angrily.
Zhu Chongyuan muttered with confidence: "It's not nothing... If you don't go down first, if someone else plays with their hearts..."
The reason why he came here was not only to avoid the disturbances in Beijing, but also to take care of Zhao Chen's well-deserved interests.
"Uncle!" Zhao Chen's eyes were indistinguishable, "You are blessed with a great life, but Shi'an is timid, don't scare me anymore, I'm really, really afraid of death this way..."
She slumped her shoulders, "There's not even a messenger, I can only think of the worst, you say you-"
Zhu Chongyuan scratched his head, thinking about coaxing her, but finally turned into a feint: "Your uncle is so useless?" Back then, the Jurchen army didn't trap Lao Tzu, a broken mine..."
"What if you come here like this, what if someone notices the gold mines? Do you really expect the prince to keep you? β
Zhao Chen said: "Your Majesty sent me to supervise the third child... In the spring, they will hide it and wait for me to meet, and no one will find out. β
"Monitor what? Is he still greedy for such a thing as disaster relief? Zhu Chongyuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Zhao Chen shook his head, "A single earthquake or heavy rain will not cause such a serious disaster now, but it happens that the two of them are rushing together, and when the water level rises sharply, the earthquake will damage the dam and river..."
"The strange thing is that nine percent of the dams that were destroyed by the earthquake came from the reconstruction three years ago, and the person in charge of this at that time was not only Jia Fu of the Ministry of Households, but also Shangshu Shi Quan of the original Ministry of Works..."
Zhu Chongyuan sat up straight and asked in a deep voice, "You mean, they cut corners when they rebuilt?" β
Zhao Chen sighed "En" and said: "Jia Fu and the prime minister have colluded for many years, Shi Quan is actually from the old Trinity family, these grandfathers and grandchildren, but they will not put two cash cows..."
"The third child took the initiative to ask for disaster relief this time, also to clean up the mess, after all, Jia Fu is dead and his debts have been eliminated, but Shi Quan is now in a high position, and he is his right-hand man."
She lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, "If these strange things behind the disaster are revealed, Shi Quan can't guarantee it, he is likely to be involved, and the prime minister can't protect him..."
Zhu Chongyuan furrowed his eyebrows, "How could Your Majesty leave such a matter to you to investigate?" Let's not talk about whether the prime minister will interfere, just the sinister villain of the third child, in case he notices that you are coming-"
"Shi'an, Uncle knows that you have always been smart and clever, but you also have to remember that you should never underestimate anyone."
Zhao Chen responded seriously, but didn't explain anything to him.
For example, Emperor Chu hinted that if she handled this matter well, the promotion appointment that had been shelved at the beginning would be brought to the court again; For example, she has decided to bring down the prime minister first, she can only advance, not retreat...
Meng Yong has a sentence that is right, the way of this world is still what the people in power say-
After carefully telling Zhu Chongyuan, Zhao Chen re-explained the matter of the gold mine before he left.
Before noon, a horse galloped out of the state capital and went straight to the direction of Xianju County, Taizhou.
β¦β¦β¦
Xianju County was the epicenter of this time, and with the adjacent East China Sea and the collapse of the embankment, it was undoubtedly the hardest hit area.
The two of them walked all the way, full of devastation, everywhere you could see swollen corpses sunk in the muddy water, and from time to time there were dying people, left in the desert waiting for death to come...
Zhao Chen's hands tightened, her body and heart were cold, and she silently let Meng Yong take her to sneak into the foothold outside the county.
A small village with no one left alive -
As soon as the two of them touched into the dark room, a flash of knife light suddenly struck, and they quickly realized something and tried their best to contain it.
"Your Highness!" Yingchun stabilized his body and breathed a sigh of relief, "You can count it back..."
Zhao Chen asked with a calm face: "Why are you injured?" What's wrong? β
"Someone broke in last night, and his subordinates thought that they were discovered by the people of the third prince, and they wanted to kill that person with Su Yan..."
He paused, "Su Yan said, that person is from the Detective Factory, and it should be someone sent by His Majesty to protect you." β
Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, it seemed that he didn't show up all the way, which aroused the suspicion of the other party...
"Are you sure that Lao Sanyi and his party have entered the county seat?" She asked.
Yingchun nodded, "They arrived this morning, that Mr. Shen has been following, and his subordinates and others only arrived in the afternoon..."
After Yingchun retreated, Zhao Chen said to Meng Yong: "It seems that Your Majesty is not worried that I will investigate this matter alone, and I have also prepared manpower to investigate, otherwise I will not send someone from the investigation factory..."
"Let's all be careful, try to avoid it, they check theirs, let's check ours."
Meng Yong nodded, but the depths of his eyes were as cold as frost and snow, and he secretly hid himself for a moment.
"You haven't slept well for a few days, go to bed first, and then think about it when you wake up." He hugged her to the bed and whispered.
Zhao Chen's heart was at ease, and he couldn't resist the heavy eyelids, and quickly fell asleep, and even Meng Yong quietly got up and left, but he didn't notice that he could read the latest chapter of "Blame for the Husband's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
