Chapter 232: Distress
Xiao Qian investigated the matter of disaster relief food and dealt with several corrupt officials. It chilled to see the victims in dire straits, while those officials kept the life-saving money for themselves.
"The truth is too much, is the conscience of these people eaten by dogs? If it weren't for you, my lord, this matter would have been over. I had never seen a road with white bones before, but now I finally saw it. The subordinates looked at the booklet and sighed with emotion.
Xiao Qian's mood was also complicated, "Yes, it's not a pity for these people to die, but the dead people can never be resurrected." For them, death may also be a relief, but it can't be cheapened by those corrupt officials. ”
In fact, Xiao Qian doesn't need to come to supervise this matter in person, but he doesn't worry about anyone, not even his own cronies, because this kind of thing can only succeed and not fail.
At this time, the guards came in and said to Xiao Qian, "My lord, everything is ready, just waiting for your order." ”
Xiao Qian nodded, "Let them leave immediately tomorrow morning, and we will follow, but we must be disguised." ”
He was very cautious, and also thought that there might be some danger on the way, so he hired the men of the dart board to disguise themselves as them to clear the way.
Xiao Qian is not cowardly, but he doesn't dare to joke with everyone's lives. Their own lives are important, and the lives of these brothers are equally important.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, your subordinates have already made arrangements. But did you get any message, and why did you suddenly do this? The subordinate was a little puzzled and asked tentatively.
Although he is a subordinate, he has a good relationship with Xiao Qian, like a friend. So what to say, don't take too much into account.
Xiao Qian didn't feel strange that his subordinates had such questions, and he said calmly: "There is no news, but to make sure that nothing goes wrong." Of course, this is not that he is afraid of death, but he does not want to take risks, after all, there are many people who want this official to die. ”
A few days ago, Xiao Qian had already received a message from the flying pigeon, knowing that Nan Shanyuan had become a demon again, and he kept tempting just to want to act. The situation of the Queen Mother was unclear for a day, and he did not dare to act for a day.
But even if he doesn't act, Nan Shanyuan will definitely not keep his duty. In the past, he couldn't compete for the first emperor, because his ability was not enough. But after the death of the first emperor, Nan Jinyan succeeded to the throne, and Nan Jinyan was only a teenager, how could he be convinced.
He has always been in close contact with some court ministers, monitoring the dynamics of the court. When the emperor had just died, Nanshanyuan wanted to return to the capital under the pretext of running for funeral, but he didn't expect that the emperor had ordered that any king did not need to be mourned.
These Xiao Qian are all well understood, if he doesn't even have this awareness, he won't be the first minister.
The disappearance of the Queen Mother, Xiao Qian got the news in the shortest possible time, and came back in a hurry. Nan Jinyan dared to be angry at his behavior.
Because it has always been the Queen Mother who listens to politics, Xiao Qian did not get too close to Nan Jinyan. There are some things that Nan Jinyan doesn't ask him about because he knows that if he is too positive, he may make Nan Jinyan suspicious.
He didn't know if Nan Jinyan was narrow-minded, but they weren't familiar with each other, so he couldn't force it too much. And Mu Xiaoxiao has been working with him, so he also seems a little negative.
But this is just a superficial phenomenon, Xiao Qian has been paying attention to all the dynamics, as soon as Nan Shanyuan's signal to win him over was issued, he knew that this prince was already about to make a move. Before wooing yourself, you must have won over a lot of people. Some people may not agree so readily, but some people don't dare to refuse directly, because they are afraid of retaliation from Nanshanyuan.
Although he is just a prince, the emperor is young and can't handle many things well, and those ministers want to leave a way back for themselves.
Without Mu Xiaoxiao, Nan Jinyan couldn't handle the affairs of the government at all, so Xiao Qian had to take action.
The subordinate said solemnly: "There are many people who can't get used to us, but it's not so simple to want our lives." Although we don't have many people this time, all of them are first-class masters. Now that there are people in the dart game to explore the way ahead, adults can rest assured. ”
Xiao Qian nodded, this is not the first time he has experienced such a thing, so he will not be so nervous, in addition to guarding against Nanshan Yuan, there are other people. However, Nan Shanyuan is the most likely because he is the one who obstructs him.
The next day, Xiao Qian and the others knew that the people from the dart bureau had set off, so they disguised themselves as businessmen and set off.
When evening came, one of the guards came to report that there had been a fight in the woods ahead, and they hurried over.
Come to the grove on the edge of the city, where there are traces of a fight, and several corpses. Among them are the people of the dart bureau, but the people of the dart bureau know that this mission is dangerous, so they are well prepared, the casualties are not large, and many people have fled.
Xiao Qian ordered: "Be sure to reach the town in front before dark, because those who are coming at us must already know that the person who just intercepted is not us, and they will definitely come back." ”
"My lord, will you be ambushed now?" The subordinates felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Qian shook his head and said firmly: "No, no, if they suffer a loss, they will definitely confirm their identity before they do it." After all, it is not good for anyone to make the movement bigger. Of course, this is speculation, so you should be careful. ”
"Yes!" The subordinate turned around to deliver the order.
Then the group quickly walked through the grove where the killing had just taken place, the atmosphere was eerie and terrifying, but they were not ambushed, everything was as Xiao Qian expected.
When I came to the town, everyone gathered together and finally breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
"Adults are like gods, those people really don't dare to show up." One of his subordinates said happily.
"yes, they must be confused right now, and they can't figure out the direction."
Xiao Qian shook his head, "Don't be too happy, you didn't figure out the object before, but you will figure it out soon." The town is so small, and the news of a few strangers coming in will soon spread. So they're going to show up tonight, I'll see. ”
"You must be careful tonight, but where do you think we should stay, my lord?"
"No matter where you stay, you will still come, so everyone doesn't like to think about it, go to the inn!" After Xiao Qian finished speaking, he walked forward directly.
They came to the inn and stayed. The shopkeeper greeted them very politely, but Xiao Qian found that there was a shopkeeper who was still there just now, and then disappeared.
Maybe it's because there is something, maybe he thinks too much, but Xiao Qian still asked everyone not to eat anything in the inn, even if they are thirsty, they can only endure it.
