Chapter 132: Qiao Shuhua
The morning is cold, and the white breath is clearly visible. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qiao Shuhua sat in the carriage and went to the patrol camp outside the city, and he would go to check it once a month, and this month was no exception. Since the dragon appeared, he has higher requirements for the patrol battalion, and it is up to them to protect the safety of the royal capital.
"What's going on?" Qiao Shuhua noticed that the carriage had stopped, and he didn't care about it at first, but after a while, there was no movement, and it was not okay to continue to delay time.
"My lord, I don't know what's going on in front of you, the whole street is blocked. The coachman stood at the front of the carriage and looked at the many carriages that were parked in front of him, and it was estimated that he would not be able to move forward for a while.
"Is there a path nearby?" Qiao Shuhua lifted the curtain, he didn't have any extra time to wait here.
"There's one, but it's only on foot. The coachman pointed to an alley on the right, and said that these big men usually rode in horse-drawn carriages, and that only civilians could figure out the direction of such alleys.
"Then go this way. Qiao Shuhua got out of the carriage and decided to walk over.
"My lord, this is near the slums, so you as the prime minister should not go. The coachman hurried to stop him, the alley was full of sewage, and petty thieves were often haunted, and a big man like him should not pass through it, lest the bad environment spoil the mood.
"The prime minister is also a human being, and I haven't seen slums, so I still have a lot to do today, so let's go. Qiao Shuhua knows the layout of the city, this is the outskirts of the slums, and you will see the miserable situation inside the slums when you walk through the alleys, but every city exists, and it has existed for as long as the city.
"Okay. "The coachman handed over the carriage to another man and asked him to find an opportunity to go to the patrol camp, while he himself was to show the way for the prime minister.
As the prime minister of the Xueman Kingdom, Qiao Shuhua has been in office for 20 years since the first day of his tenure, during which he has devoted himself to handling national affairs for King Jamie, and now continues to work for King Connor.
He is fair, conscientious and reliable, and has won the trust of King Jamie, and has also been supported by some ministers, and the Queen Mother tried to overthrow Qiao Shuhua several times without success, because his foundation in the court was solid, and he did not have any handle in the hands of others.
"My lord, do you say that the dragon will still appear?" the coachman followed him closely, and his clothes showed that he was extraordinary, such a figure could easily attract the attention of the gangsters, and it was wisest to leave this place as soon as possible.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be busy. Qiao Shuhua has no confidence in his heart, the matter of the dragon may have faded in the hearts of civilians, but he must always keep it in mind, because there is no evidence that Xue Man will not be attacked by the dragon again, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he must take responsibility as the prime minister.
"What about the scholar? Isn't he a man of great knowledge?" the coachman was a small commoner, and most of the information about the minister had been heard from the people, who thought that the scholar was an all-knowing man of God.
"He, wait and see, maybe there's news. "Qiao Shuhua has looked for a university scholar several times, but he has not received useful information.
For nearly a thousand years, dragons have long been extinct creatures in people's mouths, and scholars will not put their minds on the study of dragons at all.
"Why wait?" the driver wondered.
"The school city is closed every winter, and there is no way for any letters to be transmitted. "Qiao Shuhua is very approachable, if it were replaced by other ministers, and the coachman would ask such a question, they would probably not bother to say a word.
"Oh, I see. The coachman nodded.
"Which way should I go?" they came to a fork in the road, and Qiao Shuhua didn't know the way.
"My lord, this way. The driver ran to the front to lead the way.
Continuing to move forward, the wind and waves were calm all the way, and the driver's anxious heart finally relaxed.
The alleys here are getting narrower and narrower, and the smell is thick and pungent, making people feel very sick.
There were some disheveled people lying on the side of the road, even though it was a cold winter, they were still lying there, as if the changes in the outside world had no effect on them.
Qiao Shuhua was shocked to see it, the slum was like this.
He had the idea of transforming the slums, and he also had the support of King Jamie. It is a pity that for thousands of years, there have been countless great men in history, no one has succeeded in governing slums, and he is no exception, after spending a lot of energy and financial resources, everything is still the same.
"Wait a minute. Qiao Shuhua seemed to see an acquaintance, although his clothes were tattered and unkempt and he couldn't see his original appearance, but Qiao Shuhua felt that this person was very familiar at first sight.
"My lord, what's wrong?" the coachman didn't want to stay here, his surroundings were too much for him to bear. He gave the head a coachman, so his family was quite passable, and the place where he lived was naturally clean.
Qiao Shuhua squatted down to identify it.
"My lord, they are all here waiting to die, and even if you give money to them, they will not live long. "The coachman kindly advised, kindness plays a very small role here, and once the money is exposed, it will attract a lot of poor people and gangsters.
Qiao Shuhua motioned to the driver to be quiet.
"Kalu, are you Kalu?" Qiao Shuhua called softly to the man on the ground.
The man didn't react.
"Karui, Karui. Qiao Shuhua did not give up, once this person's identity is confirmed, it will be major news.
The coachman didn't know what was going on, only that the prime minister was in a hurry, so he also squatted down and shook the people on the ground directly, and he was not as afraid of disturbing others as the prime minister.
The man finally reacted, as if awakened from a nightmare, and sat up with his hands propped on the ground, staring and staring left and right.
"Karui, Karui. Qiao Shuhua was even more sure that this person must be him.
The man continued his unique behavior, and his mouth made a "whine" sound.
"My lord, he should be speechless. "The coachman has seen people whose tongues have been cut out and can only make a single sound.
Qiao Shuhua frowned, not only his tongue, but also his appearance, he knew that the whole person was in a state of madness, and he must have been greatly stimulated.
The man stopped making a "whine" sound and began to crawl on the ground, because his legs had been broken and his appearance was only an illusion.
"What should I do, my lord, to keep an eye on him?" asked the coachman, if the Prime Minister should take him back if he valued him so much.
"No need, let him fend for himself. Qiao Shuhua's attitude suddenly changed, and he stood up and tidied up his clothes and prepared to hurry.
"But ......" the driver glanced back, and in desperation, he still followed the prime minister.
"My lord, who is that man?" the coachman followed closely, a little curious.
"For your little life, today's incident should have never happened. Qiao Shuhua turned around and said very seriously.
"Yes, I didn't see anything. The driver didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to speak.
