And Yan Que suddenly had a mediocre-looking maid with two children, and this matter was quickly known by the officials in Jiangnan.

After Yan Que returned from the Zhou family's courtyard, he returned to his original place and began to meet the Jiangnan officials who had been posted one by one.

Today's visit is Liang Wenhua, the festival envoy of Jiangnan.

The Jiedu envoy is in charge of the twelve counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will go to Beijing every few years to meet the emperor, so Yanque is no stranger to this person.

It's just that when he first arrived in Jiangnan and had a meeting with officials, Liang Wenhua was said to have gone to the next state to observe the people's feelings, so he missed it.

Today is the first time that Yanque has met Liang Wenhua since he came to Jiangnan.

Liang Wenhua is in his fifties, born with a literati appearance, a gentle face, and a good official reputation in Jiangnan.

When he saw Yan Que, he was about to step forward to salute, but before his knees hit the ground, he was stopped by Yan Que a few steps forward, "Lord Liang hasn't seen him for many years, and his demeanor is still the same!" ”

Liang Wenhua shook his head with a smile, "Where is it, I still remember the last time I saw the prince, the prince was in high spirits, and now goodbye, he is even more calm, it is the lower official who is old, old!" ”

The two of them said a few words to each other, at least on the surface, they looked amiable.

The banquet ordered someone to bring tea, and the two sat down together.

The murderer behind the incident predicted by Yan Que has not yet been clarified, but he knows that this happened in the Jiangnan realm, and Liang Wenhua must know a thing or two.

It's just who is behind it...... It's hard to say.

He was thinking about how to probe from Liang Wenhua, but he didn't expect Liang Wenhua to be the first to speak.

"Xia Guan wanted to visit the prince a few days ago, but the post sent in, there was no movement for a long time, and I asked a few colleagues...... Oh, don't misunderstand, it's not to spy on the prince's itinerary, but to be afraid that the prince will come to Jiangnan, and he is not used to it. ”

"It doesn't matter."

"Xiaguan asked a few more colleagues, but they were not received by the prince, I don't know how the prince has ......been in the past few days."

Yan Que said in his heart that this person was really an old fox, and he finished speaking, and his attitude was very generous, and he directly said that he had inquired about Yan Que's itinerary, but this calm attitude made him unable to make trouble.

"Oh, Lord Liang doesn't know, before the king set off, my father ordered the king to check the people's livelihood and people's conditions in various places, in addition to the situation reported by the adults, what is the specific situation of the local people, this king also wants to inquire in private, in case there are bold people below, deceive the upper and lower levels, isn't it bitter to the people?"

Yan Que also spoke very bluntly, Liang Wenhua was stunned for a moment, and then continued his words: "Then I don't know what happened after the prince's investigation in the past few days? ”

"After the investigation...... Only then did this king realize how rich Jiangnan has become, there is not even half a beggar on the streets of Jiangnan, let alone the ruffians and hooligans, let alone see it, the Liang family governs Jiangnan very well. ”

"It's just a matter of duty."

The mention of beggar hooligans in Yanque's words implied that his people's feelings in Jiangnan were too "good", but Kena Liang Wenhua was not afraid at all, and only said: "As for beggar hooligans and the like...... There are also yes. However, it is not a secret that the prince patrolled Jiangnan, it is estimated that the people below have dealt with it, or maybe it is not strange that the beggars and hooligans are afraid of bumping into the nobles and dare not go to the street. ”

At this point, both sides are testing each other.

And Chu Luoci replaced the little maid who was waiting, and stood silently behind Yan Que.

Liang Wenhua's eyes were attracted by her, "Is this little maid brought by the prince himself?" Why does the lower official look so angry? ”

Yan Que turned his head and glanced at Chu Luoci, and the expression on his face softened, "It's the wonderful person that this king met after coming to Jiangnan, so he took him with him to serve, the adult asked this, but what's wrong with this girl?" ”

Liang Wenhua hurriedly shook his head, of course he couldn't care about the maids around Yanque.

He just listened to the servants who were waiting here say that a few days after the Yan Que disappeared, he suddenly brought back this woman, and even brought back two children, and he was very kind to this woman, so he felt curious.

Merely......

Liang Wenhua silently looked at Chu Luoci who was standing aside, and saw that although her figure was beautiful, her face was mediocre, and she couldn't connect it with the three words "wonderful person" in Yanque's mouth.

Thinking of a possibility, Liang Wenhua's eyes darkened, diverted the topic, and talked about other things.

Most of the subsequent conversations were serious official duties, and what made Liang Wenhua feel shocked was that when he mentioned that he wanted to report the local tax situation in Jiangnan to Yanque, the girl was still standing beside Yanque and had no intention of retreating.

Yan Que didn't let her leave!

Is it possible for ordinary people to stand aside and listen to such important matters between the DPRK and China?

Liang Wenhua became vigilant in his heart.

The two chatted for nearly two hours, and it was almost time to eat, Yan Que wanted to leave Liang Wenhua for dinner, but Liang Wenhua refused.

"The prince doesn't know, the lower official has just returned here, and there are still a lot of government affairs to deal with, so I won't bother the prince, what is uncomfortable with the prince's stay, but just mention it to the lower official!"

After speaking, he saluted and left.

Out of the mansion, Liang Wenhua's face sank.

When the subordinates on the side saw him come out with a black face, they didn't dare to breathe, but their henchmen came up, helped him into the carriage, and sat on it themselves.

When the carriage began to move, the henchman said and asked, "My lord, is he ...... Is it really okay? ”

As soon as his voice fell, he heard a snap, and Liang Wenhua slapped him in the face!

"Rubbish! Useless stuff! Didn't you say that there were only two people at that time, he and the secret guard, and after finding more than 20 masters, they couldn't take his life?! ”

The space in the carriage was narrow, and the subordinates didn't dare to make a sound, and they didn't even dare to wipe the blood from the corners of their mouths, and lowered their heads tightly: "The subordinates know their mistakes!" ”

"Fortunately, I came back in time and dealt with the middleman, otherwise all of us would have to be buried with you because of your mistake!"

Without the presence of the banquet, Liang Wenhua had long lost his previous gentle and elegant appearance, and his whole body was full of a gloomy temperament, and the sharpness in his eyes was like a poisoned knife.

Yan Que was obviously seriously injured, but let him escape!

In just a few days, he looked at the injuries as if he had recovered, as if nothing had happened, except for the woman with two children beside him......

"Go and find out who the woman next to him is!"

Liang Wenhua had a vague guess in his heart, could it be that Yan Que was rescued by this woman after being injured, so Yan Que took her with him?

If this is the case, then he wants to turn the matter of his assassination to the surface and investigate it thoroughly, and this woman is a witness!

Thinking of this, Liang Wenhua's eyes became even more obscure, "No matter where this woman comes from, she must not stay!" Including the two children by her side! ”

"My lord, Yan Que is safe and sound now, so should we send a second batch of killers? The people of the Yang family have been taken away by the people of Yanque, who knows how many things the old woman knows, in case he asks out......"

Hearing this, Liang Wenhua was even more angry, "Do you know that you are scared now?" ”

He snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, isn't the old woman's brother still in our hands?" She shouldn't dare to say anything, as for the assassination...... During this time, Yan Que must be heavily defensive, so don't carry out a second assassination yet, besides, if something like this happens in the state capital I govern, it's okay once, if it's twice...... When asked, I can't eat and walk around! ”

After saying all this, Liang Wenhua closed his eyes and recuperated, he looked quite calm, but his hand was still tightly clenched.

Feast, feast......

It's not good to be his Huaiwang in Kyoto, why do you want to come to see the troubled waters of Jiangnan?

But since he came, if he found out about what happened back then......

Liang Wenhua's eyes were dark again!

Either Yanque can be a little more interesting, although he leaves Jiangnan as soon as possible, or ......

Just leave this life in Jiangnan!

Banquet on this end.

Sent Liang Wenhua away, and hurriedly stood up, "What are you doing here?" Aren't you tired of standing and listening to us speak for two hours? ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Chu Luoci, but Chu Luoci staggered slightly and Yan Que's hand fell short.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yan Que's eyes, but he quickly cheered up, as long as people were around, there would always be a way to compensate.

Chu Luoci shook his head and said, "I also want to see what kind of person this Liang Wenhua is, I also heard about him when I first arrived in Jiangnan, but they all said that this person has a good official reputation and is loved by the people, and now it seems that it ......."

Chu Luoci sneered, "It's not a good match." ”

Yan Que also nodded, "I was assassinated in the territory under his jurisdiction, he could never be unaware, maybe he was the final mastermind, after all, he played the most important role in the collection of grain and grass back then." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, what do you and your two children want to eat today? This king commanded them to prepare. ”

"No need, I'm a subordinate, what's the matter with the prince, I can just eat with the two children."

Although Chu Luoci said this, Yanque had a resolute attitude, prepared a large table of delicious food, and took the two children over.

The people around Yan Que were naturally surprised, but only the people who were originally serving in the house were shocked when they saw all this.

Two of them secretly looked at each other, and silently retreated, ready to tell Liang Wenhua all this.

Chu Luoci watched Yan Que busy and busy, picking up vegetables for the two children for a while, and wanting to serve soup for her for a while, sighed, and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Lord Wang, I'm eye-catching enough by your side, maybe after today, the officials in Jiangnan will know that there is such a person as me by the side of Lord Wang."

Yan Que smiled faintly: "It's good to know, I don't have to shy away from others if I treat you well, besides, I took you with me after I was assassinated, and those people actually thought that you were related to my assassination, maybe they thought you were a witness, and they would ...... when the time came."

Speaking of this, he hurriedly added: "I don't mean to make you a target, this time I have arranged a drop of water around me, as long as they dare to come, make sure to catch it!" ”

Chu Luoci shook his head lightly, without any expression on his face, "It's a good thing if you can lure them out, don't worry about me, hurry up and eat." ”

Yan Que closed his mouth in a sneer, and silently watched Chu Luo eat slowly, looking like he wanted to please but didn't know what to do.

The two children glanced at each other, both infected by the strange atmosphere between the dinner tables, and they also ate with their heads down, without saying a word.

After the meal, Yan Que took Chu Luo to the study, and the two children were arranged to go back to the room to sleep.

When there was no one else, the two children in the quilt immediately rolled together.

"Brother! Bad guy daddy is weird, isn't he ...... Do you like your mother? But didn't my mother say that he was our enemy? ”
