Song Xuan could be seen in Fengyang, and Shangguan Xiu was also somewhat surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at Song Xuan, who swaggered out of the county guard's mansion, Guan Zheng was one head and two big, he trotted forward, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, Song Gongzi is passing through Fengyang and came to the county guard mansion to meet Weichen!"
Shangguan Xiu smiled, didn't say anything, and walked over to greet Song Xuan.
As Shangguan Xiu approached, Song Xuan's body tensed involuntarily.
Until now, he still clearly remembers how badly Shangguan Xiu beat him last time, and he lay on the bed for more than a month. When he saw Shangguan Xiu again at this time, he hated and feared him, and he couldn't wait to break him into thousands of pieces, and he was ashamed.
Shangguan Xiu walked up to him, his footsteps did not stop at all, and he still walked straight forward. Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was about to bump into him, Song Xuan couldn't hold on any longer, and hurriedly retreated two steps to the side, and his body shook for a while.
He steadied himself and glared at Shangguan Xiu, whose eyes shot a poisonous light of a yin owl.
"Song Gongzi's injury, is it healed so quickly?" When passing by Song Xuan's side, Shangguan Xiu slowed down and asked with a smile. When Song Xuan heard this, the skin and flesh on his face jumped suddenly, and he hated Shangguan Xiu even more in his heart.
Before he answered, Shangguan Xiu, who had already walked over, didn't reply, and kicked back casually. This kick was right at the crook of Song Xuan's knee, and the force he used was not great, but it was not something that Song Xuan could bear.
Song Xuan was not prepared, so he felt a tingling in his knees, his legs bent uncontrollably, and he knelt on the ground with a pop.
Shangguan Xiu, who walked into the gate of the county guard's mansion, waved his hand back and said, "Just a grass people, I don't know how to bow when I see His Highness, didn't Lord Song teach you the rules?"
"Shangguan Xiu, you ......" was kicked to his knees in public, he was so ashamed, how could he bear it? In an instant, Song Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, he jumped up from the ground, turned around and glared at Shangguan Xiu.
Shangguan Xiu still didn't look back, but said slowly: "Rude, palm." ”
As soon as his words fell, Song Xuan felt a flower in front of him, he didn't even see what was going on clearly, he snapped twice, and then looked at Song Xuan's cheeks, how high the red and swollen was, he couldn't stand enough, poofed, and knelt back on the ground.
"Lord Song really has no way to teach his son, and he has to bother me to discipline him every time. Shangguan Xiu turned his head to Guan Zheng and Lan You, who were accompanying him, and asked with a smile, "Lord Guan, Lord Lan, what do you say?"
Guan Zheng's face was full of horror, he raised his arms, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, while Lan You's face was gloomy, and his hands shrunk in the sleeves of his robe were clenched into fists.
Seeing that the two of them looked different, but neither of them spoke, Shangguan Xiu sneered in his heart.
It was impossible for Song Xuan to run to Ning County for no reason, thinking about it, Song Sheng was also eyeing the ten million taels of disaster relief silver.
As the so-called lack of people's hearts swallows elephants, the Song family has opened the Kaiyuan Silver Account, and they have already made money every day, but Song Sheng is still insatiable, and he even dares to fight the idea of disaster relief silver.
Moreover, it was not the first time that he had the idea of giving disaster relief money. What happened last time, plus this time, if he didn't leave Song Sheng with some thoughts, it would be too sorry for him.
Guan Zheng set up a reception banquet in the county guard's mansion, and the senior officials of the county government came, and Song Xuan was also invited, and his position was just diagonally opposite Shangguan Xiu.
What Song Xuan didn't expect was that there was also a woman sitting with Shangguan Xiu, this woman was veiled on her face, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but through her pair of beautiful eyes, Song Xuan judged that she should be a young and beautiful girl.
Shangguan Xiu, as a national prince, should logically avoid suspicion, especially in public, and should pay more attention, but now, he actually sat at the same table with a young woman, obviously, this woman is not ordinary to him, at least the person he values very much.
Song Xuan's eyes rolled, and he asked with a smile: "Excuse me, ......who is this young lady beside His Royal Highness Guogong?"
Not to mention that Song Xuan was curious about the identity of the saint, Guan Zheng, Lan You and other officials present were also very curious. With Song Xuan's question, the hall suddenly fell silent, and people's eyes fell on Shangguan Xiu, waiting for him to answer.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiu didn't even look at Song Xuan, turned his head to Guan Zheng and said with a pleasant face: "Lord Guan, where are the documents of Si Tianfu?"
Guan Zhengleng came back to his senses after a moment, and he hurriedly bowed over and said, "Weichen asked people to pick it up this time." As he spoke, he nodded to the butler, who was standing not far away. The butler understood, and walked out quickly.
The officials, who were originally very curious about the identity of the saint, heard Shangguan Xiu ask about the documents of Si Tianfu, and they all tensed their nerves, and they didn't have the heart to care about who the woman next to Shangguan Xiu was.
You must know that until now, the money for disaster relief has been sealed in the county government and has never been used, if this matter is strictly investigated, no one from top to bottom of the Ningjun county government will be able to get out of the matter.
After a short time, the housekeeper walked back from outside, and when Shangguan Xiu approached, he respectfully handed a document to Shangguan Xiu. The latter took it and unfolded it to take a look, and sure enough, it was a document from Si Tianfu, which was not only stamped with the big seal of Si Tianfu, but also the signature and seal of Si Tianqing and Wu Jing.
In this document, it is clearly written that in mid-June, there will be a rare heavy rain in Ning County, which may cause a second flood.
It's May now, and Si Tianfu even predicted that in the middle of next month, there would be a heavy rain in Ningjun, which was simply an unpredictable prophet.
But no one can make a 100% accurate judgment on such a thing as the weather, so even if there is no rain in Ningjun in the middle of next month, it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with Si Tianfu.
Song Sheng's hands and eyes are all over the sky in the court, and even Si Tianfu, the Qingshui Yamen, has his people, and Song Sheng's family is really amazing. Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, he glanced at the paperwork from beginning to end a few times, and then handed it back to the housekeeper.
Lan You smiled slightly, and said, "Now that His Highness has read the documents of Si Tianfu, he must be able to understand why the repairs in various parts of Ning County have not been carried out for a long time, right?"
Shangguan Xiu said: "The reason why the repair has not been carried out for a long time is to prevent the second flood, so that the people in the affected towns will not have enough to eat, and only one meal will be distributed every day, which is also to prevent the second flood? Lord Lan thinks that instead of letting the people die from the flood, it is better to starve the people to death first, so that a lot of food can be saved and the expenses of the imperial court can be saved!"
When everyone present heard this, their bodies were shocked, and their faces were full of horror.
Lan You's face was dazed, he froze for a moment, he suddenly stood up, and asked with a mixture of grief and indignation: "Is there such a thing in Ningjun?" Please tell Your Highness who did it, and Weichen will definitely punish him severely!"
Shangguan Xiu smiled slowly and asked, "Is Lord Lan asking me?"
Lan You immediately realized that he had lost his words, Shangguan Xiu was the Duke of the Kingdom, and he and Guan Zheng were the parents of Ning County, and he didn't know about Ning County's affairs, but he went to ask Shangguan Xiu, which was a crime of dereliction of duty and negligence.
What a cunning Shangguan Xiu! Lan You reacted quickly, and immediately changed his words and said: "Wechen immediately sent someone to investigate, once it is found that there is an illegal act, no matter who it is, Wechen will be severely punished." ”
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "The city lord of Guancheng has been corrected on the spot, and at present, Guancheng is temporarily taken over by the gendarmerie. Guan Daren. ”
"Micro ...... Wei Chen is here!" Guan Zheng stammered in response.
"Guan Daren will send a new city lord as soon as possible to take over Guancheng. The previous city lord was corrupt and perverted the law in Guancheng, I can not ask you to blame, if the next city lord is still like this, Lord Guan, when the time comes, I am afraid that you will not lose your black yarn hat. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Wechen must strictly supervise, Wechen must strictly supervise!" Guan Zheng couldn't sit still on his knees, moved to the side, and kowtowed again and again.
Lan Youbai glanced at him, and secretly said in his heart: soft bones!
The officials present all focused on disaster relief, and no one paid attention to Song Xuan taking out a small pill from his waist and throwing it into the wine glass without leaving a trace. When everyone's discussion was over, he turned to look at Lan Yu and winked at him.
Lan You was so smart, just looking at Song Xuan's eyes, he immediately understood what he meant.
He said to Shangguan Xiu with a smile: "Your Highness, in the jurisdiction of Wechen, during the disaster, there was such a corrupt person who bent the law and disregarded the life and death of the people, and Wechen could not escape the blame, here, Wechen promised His Highness that he would investigate this matter and severely punish the lawbreakers!"
Shangguan Xiu smiled, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of wine.
Lan You suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Lord Guan admires the ancestors of the Shangguan family, and there is also a collection of ink treasures of ancestors in the family, and now it is rare to have His Royal Highness present, why don't Lord Guan take out the ink treasures and let His Highness see if it is the true work of the ancestors!"
The first phase he said naturally refers to Shangguan Yuanji. Shangguan Yuanji was once the right minister of the Wind Country, not only the founding father of the Wind Country, but also the great meritorious, can be called one of the best heroes, but when he became famous, he suddenly retired and did not know where to go.
Hearing that Guan Zheng actually had Shangguan Yuanji's Mobao, Shangguan Xiu was also startled, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously looked at Guan Zheng.
Guan Zheng gritted his teeth secretly, he did have Shangguan Yuanji's ink treasure, it was the treasure of his town, and now Lan You asked him to take it out for Shangguan Xiu to appreciate, could he take it back again? But Lan You said it, even if he was distressed and unwilling, he had to take it back.
He bowed to Shangguan Xiu, endured his distress, walked into the inner room, and after a while, he slowly took out a long box, the box was made of sandalwood, and it was inlaid with gold edges, just looking at the box, it was already worth a lot.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu stood up and walked over.
Song Xuan was waiting for this opportunity. Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was attracted away by the ink treasure taken out by Guan Zheng, he smiled secretly in his heart, left the table with two glasses of wine, came to the front of the holy woman, smiled at the holy woman politely and gently, and said: "In Xia Song Xuan, my father is the minister of internal history. I don't know what Miss's name is......"
When reporting to his family, Song Xuan always habitually mentioned his father first. Of course, most of the time, it is very useful for him to mention it like this, no matter who he is, he hears that he is Song Sheng's son, and he has to give some face.
But for the saintess, let alone that he is Song Sheng's son, even if Song Sheng himself is in front of her, she will not buy his account. She raised her eyes, looked at Song Xuan calmly, and smiled lightly.
