Five days had passed since the return of the regent, and Su Zihe first visited Hubu Shangshu after retiring from the dynasty, and inquired from him about the changes in the situation in the southeast disaster area.

The fact that 10,000 people were trapped in the city was mentioned in Mi Da's mouth, but he was keenly captured. After careful questioning, Su Zihe found that these court officials seemed to be only doing things for the disaster relief mission issued by the imperial court, as long as the plague was confined to the city and did not spread, tens of thousands of lives were not included in their rescue plan at all.

So, after discussion, Su Zihe immediately went back to his house and wrote two letters, which were sent to Fangfu and Budong Town respectively.

The refreshing fragrance of tea in the study could not dispel the anxiety in his heart, he had already counted his life, Ye Shiyuan had recuperated for three months, and most of his body should have recovered, and it would only take three or five days for the letter to be delivered to him urgently.

Now he and Qiu Yan are staying in the capital to follow up on the traitor, and they can't leave, just hoping that the stinky boy can hurry to the southeast to solve the matter.

"Master, the subordinates of the Fang Mansion came to report, saying that the prince has returned to the mansion and is handling official business in the study, please go to the meeting."

Su Zihe immediately put on his coat and replied, "I know, prepare the car and go to Fangfu." ”

"Yes."

The anxious Lord Su thought about various situations on the way, but as soon as he stepped into Fang Qiuyan's study with one foot, he was stunned.

"You ...... What's this playing? ”

Wen Tiantian stood on the chair with her hands on her hips, she was not tall enough to use the chair to make up the number, and condescendingly confronted the man who was one meter nine tall. Fang Qiuyan stood below with a helpless expression, and was just about to say something, when he saw Su Zihe suddenly push the door in, and suddenly shouted to Wen Tiantian as if he had seen a savior: "Zihe is here, why don't you come down quickly?" Hey, slow down, watch out for falls! ”

The little girl jumped down from the chair with her hands and feet, and stood next to her without speaking. Qiu Yan had no choice but to let Su Zihe find a place to sit down first.

"Tiantian, we don't know much about the situation of the southeast plague. Zihe and I can't pull away, you go by yourself and have no helper, and secondly, if you can't move the government to let you go, how can you save people if you can't even enter the city? ”

Wen Tiantian pouted unhappily, her little face was flushed, and her throat was dry after not drinking water for a long time.

"If you don't know the situation, you have to go and see it yourself! As for entering the city, I have my own way, so I don't bother you! ”

"What about supplies and medicinal herbs? Can you carry it on your own? ”

"I ...... Hum! ”

Wen Tian stomped her feet angrily, as a highly educated college student, the most important thing she could not see was that the officials did not take human rights into account and embarrassed ordinary people. She used to be able to post a scolding and scolding on the Internet to vent her emotions, but now she is helpless, and after talking to Qiu Yan, she was told not to take risks, which is really annoying!

Su Zihe, who was sitting on the side and watching the little couple quarrel, realized that it was Dr. Wen who wanted to go to the southeast to solve the plague, and Qiu Yan was worried about her safety, so the two stayed in the study and quarreled.

Seeing that Wen Tiantian was speechless, Fang Qiuyan looked at Su Zihe and asked, "Has Ye Shiyuan set off?" ”

"Well, he never left Dongzhen in the morning, and it will take ten days to get there." Su Zihe stood up, as if to explain to Wen Tiantian, "The disaster situation waits for no one, now all places are secretly investigating, and the patients among the displaced people have basically been admitted to the local medical center." However, there are still many people who are worried that they will not have money to see a doctor and hide their illness, and if this money is allocated by the imperial court, it will inevitably be exploited by corrupt officials, and it will be difficult for it to fall into the hands of the victims in the end. ”

Fang Qiuyan also knew that corruption among officials had been repeatedly prohibited, and his continuous tax reduction and exemption policy in recent years had reduced fiscal revenue, and if he asked the treasury to take money, it was difficult for him to nod his head if the courtiers were the queen mother.

"You sent Ye Shiyuan over, he didn't have anything, what are you going to do alone?"

"I don't know. But with what I know about this kid, nine times out of ten he will rob the rich and help the poor, and he will always be able to raise some supplies to send to the city. But what he can do is just a drop in the bucket, and it is still difficult to save people. ”

Su Zihe handed him the excerpt he had written, and added: "The little girl you asked me to investigate has news, and the man you met finally disappeared near the Beiguancheng Mansion, and it is likely that he sent someone." ”

"Beiguancheng?" Fang Qiuyan's eyes were profound, "I heard that he was injured and paralyzed twenty years ago, and he has not been able to come out yet. Rumor has it that he practiced evil magic at home with the intention of helping his body recover. But he has faded out of the court for more than ten years, and he has never crossed paths with Shi Tianming at all, why do you want to frame him? ”

Wen Tiantian didn't understand, so she only said casually: "Conan has clouds: there is no mystery in this world that cannot be solved. Didn't you think that the two of them were likely to be the relationship between the big and the small? ”

"What do you mean?"

Su Zihe looked at her puzzled, not understanding which capable sage in the ancient book Conan was.

Fang Qiuyan pondered and said, "You mean, Beiguan Cheng and Shi Tianming are likely to be in the same boat, or is it the relationship between superiors and subordinates?" ”

"Definitely!"

Wen Tiantian, who has watched thousands of episodes of Detective Conan and has not yet waited for the finale, pushed his finger on his face, lifted his non-existent glasses, and said incomprehensibly: "Judging from my many years of experience in watching and handling cases, it is very likely that this Shi Tianming thinks that he is in the same boat as Beiguancheng, but Beiguancheng is a demon who is a tall man, and he is completely used as a chess piece. ”

"But that's just my guess, after all, that's how it is usually played on TV. As for the specific details, you have to check it yourself, I can't think of it. ”

Everything is changing, the villain usually doesn't show up so early, it seems that Qiu Yan and they haven't caught the key evidence yet, and they still need to work hard!

Su Zihe heard it in a fog, he didn't understand what TV or Conan and the like Wen Tiantian was talking about, so he could only look at Qiu Yan in confusion.

"What you said is reasonable to think about it carefully, but the premise is that Beiguan Cheng needs to be a normal person. He was paralyzed twenty years ago, how could he have the energy to lay out such a big game of chess? ”

Fang Qiuyan already had a vague direction of investigation in his heart, but he also understood that he couldn't attack Beiguan Cheng at all now, and only by hooking out the bait of Shi Tianming could he catch the big fish below.

"Don't tell me you don't know about sorcery! It's not very difficult to get a paralyzed person back to health, and there are twenty or thirty forbidden techniques that I know of alone, but the cost is too high and too bloody, and ordinary serious people like me don't bother to do those things that anger and resentment people. Wen Tiantian shrugged her nose and said casually with her head shaken.

When Bai Mengying disappeared, she only took away part of her feelings, leaving most of her past memories to her, so that the current Wen Tiantian is actually not a stupid Bai Tian anymore, she knows a little bit about the things of the Three Realms, but she chooses to be a salted fish.

"So, if you want, you can also practice sorcery?" Su Zihe's eyes darkened, and Qiu Yan also looked at her.

"This ......" Wen Tiantian realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she was a little weak, "It can be, and the forbidden technique can also help me increase my mana greatly, but do you think I have to do this?" ”

Glancing at Qiu Yan, there is such a great god at home to protect her, she can make salted fish with peace of mind, and she doesn't even bother to practice the existing spells, let alone learn some thankless forbidden arts.

Qiu Yan smiled sideways, this girl has been lying at home since she called the capital, if it weren't for the Pingwang Mansion to invite her twice, she was afraid that she wouldn't want to go out of the gate. Said helplessly: "Tian Tian has always been at ease with what she encounters, and that kind of spell can't get into her eyes at all." Zihe, there are five days left to enjoy the plum banquet in the palace, Shi Tianming may make some moves in these days, you have to be careful. ”

"yes, I know."

"I almost forgot, there's one more thing!" Qiu Yan patted her head, she has been busy with too many chores recently, and she has left her business behind. "Tiantian, the Queen Mother's plum banquet has also invited us, do you want to go?"

"No, I want to go to the southeast!" Wen Tiantian decisively refused.

"This year's banquet is not only delicious but also lively, and after the end, I will order troops in public and personally go to the southeast for disaster relief."

The weaker forces in the capital returned to calm after his strong return, and at this time, he could achieve the effect of establishing authority by eliminating the traitors. After discussing with Su Zihe, it was decided that he, the regent, would personally lead the troops to relieve the disaster, and at the same time suppress the peasant uprising, and by the way, win the hearts of the people.

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside. Dongsheng Kingdom was not only wiped out but also lost a famous general, and it will definitely not be reconciled, so it is necessary to solve the domestic troubles as soon as possible in order to focus on negotiations with Dongsheng. ”

Su Zihe nodded in response: "Indeed, the situation in the southeast has dragged on for too long, and the victims can't afford to wait. ”

Wen Tiantian didn't understand national affairs, she tilted her head to think about the plum banquet.

"Okay, I'll go with you to the banquet in five days. Remember to point me when you order soldiers! The little girl laughed, her eyebrows crooked, and she jumped up happily and spun around. Qiu Yan and Su Zihe also looked at each other and smiled, both ready in their hearts.

Shi Tianming was finally angry!

"A group of you guys reported this to me after a few days of surveillance?"

The messy information was thrown all over the room, Shi Tianming was furious, and several of his subordinates did not dare to speak out.

"Useless stuff!"

Crash! The huge celadon vase was toppled down, shattering the porcelain pieces on the ground, and the slag spilled through the faces of the previous men, and still no one dared to retreat.

"That girl named Wen Tiantian eats, sleeps, sleeps, and eats all day long, why does Fang Qiuyan take a fancy to her? Just because she's a pig? ”

"I'm telling you, I'm going to be knocked down, you all have to finish playing!"

After venting, Shi Tianming gasped and ordered: "You guys, do three things for me." ”

"First, inform Beiguan Cheng and make every effort to prevent Ye Shiyuan from reaching the disaster area, and it is best to kill him on the way."

"Second, send someone to arrest Wen Tiantian. With her in hand, Fang Qiuyan will definitely throw a rat bogey, and as long as he delays it for another five days, his promise in the court will be invalid. ”

"Third, assassinate Su Zihe. Fang Qiuyan's martial arts are strong, you can't beat it, can't Su Zihe kill a civil official? ”

Shi Tianming gritted his teeth, isn't he a relative Fang Qiuyan? This regent will not be able to sit in his turn as a wild boy anyway!

Chaozhong leaned on Su Zihe and pointed at Ye Shiyuan outside. In this case, he broke off his two arms, and see what else this boy can do!

At the same time, the queen mother, who has always been steady, has been sleepless for two days, looking at the table full of dishes but has no appetite.

"Niangniang, you haven't been able to eat and sleep well, but you have something unsolved?"

The little eunuch waved his hand to remove the dishes, and said worriedly: "You have been sullen since you had a private conversation with the regent that day, didn't you always look forward to the regent coming back to preside over the overall situation, how can you finish talking with him like this?" The minions are worried about your body! ”

The Queen Mother leaned back in the soft chair, closed her eyes and endured a headache, and sighed: "The regent is powerful, the country can't live without him, but the royal family can't have him." ”

Slowly opened her eyes, the Queen Mother's eyes were full of exhaustion. The little emperor, who has just turned five, is her only support in the future, and only by letting her children grow up and take over the government as soon as possible may she have hope of getting rid of the shadow of the regent pressing on the head of the royal family.

"Gui Jun really gave birth to a good son! When she brought Qiu Yan into the palace, the child was still a naughty little ghost, smart and rebellious, which made people love and hate. It's only been more than ten years, and that little thing can grow into such a powerful character. If the emperor is still there, I don't know if he will be reused or will be ruined. ”

The cloudy sky finally rained ice, making the winter chill clearer and clearer in the capital. The dampness and coldness not only dispersed the dryness of autumn and winter, but also made the people wear thick cotton clothes.
