Chapter 246: Something Else
"The reason why I secretly followed is not because I want to assassinate against you, I just ...... It's just that I really want to get out of the palace......"
The person on the horse was none other than Meng Qing.
Chen Mu saw Meng Qing hesitantly looking up in his direction.
He shook his head a little helplessly and sighed, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded and agreed.
Anyway, the people have already come out with them, even if they want to reprimand the other party and drive the other party back to the palace, I am afraid that it will be too late.
The dark alley where they were located was a few hundred meters away from the palace gate, and if they sent people back at this time, it would attract the attention of others.
In addition, Chen Mu can also understand Meng Qing's thoughts.
Before Meng Qing entered the palace, she was a carefree and innocent girl who enjoyed freedom.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, he was confined in the palace wall, and he was not free for a long time, and he could not go out.
Even if he mentioned going out to him a few times, he remembered that he did not agree to the decree.
He was also worried that someone would take this opportunity to do something to Meng Qing.
Now seeing Meng Qing looking in his direction with an uneasy expression, Chen Mu pondered for a moment, and finally waved his hand to the guard.
Those guards seemed to have guessed Meng Qing's identity, and they had already put away the long sword in their hands.
Seeing Chen Mu waving his hand, those guards turned over and dismounted one after another, kneeling to Meng Qing.
Seeing this, Meng Qing hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran in front of Chen Mu.
Chen Mu took off the helmet she was wearing on her head a little helplessly, rubbed the top of her hair again, and then spoke.
"Now that you've been discovered, let's go sit in the carriage with me first."
Hearing this, Meng Qing nodded silently in response, and her eyes flashed a little light.
Obviously, just now she thought that Chen Mu would send her back to the palace.
As a result, she didn't expect that Chen Mu would actually leave her behind.
Chen Mu pulled her back into the carriage, and let the carriage continue to drive towards the remote neighborhood.
"It's too reckless, if you really want to leave the palace gate, you can talk to me."
"When this micro-service visit is over, I will take you and Blue Phoenix out of the palace together."
"I just left the palace at this time, if just when I left the palace, I encountered the assassin guards rushing up, and you were caught in the middle of it, but you were attacked by the assassins, what should I do at that time?"
When Meng Qing heard Chen Mu say this, she pursed her lips and looked sullen.
"So what else can I do? Anyway, I'm good at whipping, and if anyone dares to attack you, then I'll do it! ”
"You are my husband, if someone dares to attack you, I should protect you."
Seeing her stubborn appearance, Chen Mu couldn't help laughing, and he sighed helplessly and said.
"Don't say that, if an assassin does show up, you and those guards will be very vulnerable to being seriously injured by the assassin."
"I don't know how much distress I feel when I know you're in the middle of the crowd, but if I know you've been badly injured by the Assassin."
As soon as Chen Mu softened her voice, Meng Qing's face also looked a little better, and she lowered her head a little helplessly.
Seeing this, Chen Mu stepped forward and took the person in his arms, and then patted Meng Qing's shoulder and said.
"Don't do this in the future, if you sneak out of the palace with me again, I will find out, I won't spare you."
Meng Qing snorted in response, and clenched Chen Mu's sleeve again, she smiled and spoke.
"Don't worry, I won't trouble you, where are we going next?"
"Are you planning to go out of the city during the day and find an inn to settle down in?"
"What's our first destination after we get out of town?"
"I heard you're going to Meicheng...... The melons and fruits in Meicheng are also ripe! Let's go to Meicheng, I'm afraid it's a blessing! ”
Meng Qing licked her mouth when she said this, looking like a greedy cat.
Seeing her like this, Chen Mu couldn't help laughing, nodded and agreed.
The first stop is indeed Meicheng, and the cities around Meicheng have been flooded some time ago.
Now is the critical period for the completion of water conservancy construction.
Chen Mu went to Meicheng, in addition to wanting to check the local water conservancy construction, he also wanted to see the establishment of the training government in Meicheng.
In addition, I also want to find out the evaluation of the people in the towns around Meicheng and the key issues that plague the people's livelihood.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Mu's mind, he looked up in Meng Qing's direction, and then spoke.
"This time, I went out for a private visit to the microservice, and I stopped all the way, and I was afraid that I would not get the opportunity to visit the mountains and rivers."
"Don't make a noise if you follow me, and don't make trouble again."
"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I understand this truth, and I will never cause you trouble."
Meng Qing was sensible, and Chen Mu also felt relieved.
The carriage traveled through the long street, and everyone found an ordinary inn to settle down.
As soon as the gate of the capital was opened early the next morning, Chen Mu immediately went out of the city with the guards and rushed in the direction of Meicheng.
Meicheng is three or five days away from the capital, and Chen Mu did not delay after arriving in Meicheng, and immediately walked around the small towns around Meicheng.
First of all, I inquired about the news related to the construction of water conservancy.
Although some corrupt officials in the capital were cleared some time ago, Chen Mu was still worried that there was a cancer hidden in the state and county.
After walking around Meicheng and inquiring about the situation related to water conservancy, Chen Mu really found out that something was wrong.
Of the money that was set aside, it seems that few were distributed to the people.
"Each of the people is missing about ten taels of silver, which is a lot."
"The construction of this water conservancy project is just a river, and the people who built the river water conservancy project can only get twenty-five taels of silver."
"Each person is less than ten taels, and the people who built the river are several thousand, which is a lot of silver."
"I don't know who took the silver, in addition, the silver taels that cost the consumables for the new water conservancy, and most of the silver taels for other matters will also be missing."
"It seems that there is indeed a cancer in this state and county."
Chen Mu's henchman walked into the room after inquiring about the news, arched his hand at Chen Mu, and said so.
When Chen Mu heard this, he also nodded and agreed.
He knew it would be like this, and he thought for a moment and said to the henchman.
"Don't make a noise yet, immediately send a message to the newly established overseer's office, and ask them to send someone."
"I didn't expect that an official would dare to steal official silver during this period, it was simply Tai Sui's head breaking ground."
"Some time ago, a group of corrupt officials in Beijing were just beheaded, and they didn't take this matter to heart."
Chen Mu sneered: "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude." ”
"Except for the problems encountered in water conservancy construction, what about the others?"
"After I built the training government some time ago, didn't the chambers of commerce in various places also break out a lot of complaints?"
