Su Rong returned to the inn, and the journey was very smooth, and she didn't meet anyone who wanted to kill her.

It was very quiet in the inn where she stayed, and she crept to her room. Passing by Zhou Gu's door, the door suddenly opened, Zhou Gu was wearing a middle coat, holding his arms and looking at her, "Where did you go?" ”

Su Rong was startled, raised his eyes to look at him, and thought that it was easy to go out and difficult to come back, if she was allowed to sneak out quietly, and then sneak back quietly, if Zhou Gu was completely ignorant, then Zhou Gu was really not vigilant, and he had practiced martial arts since he was a child.

She touched her nose, stopped obediently, and handed the wine she was carrying to him, "Let's go buy wine." ”

"Drunken flowers?" Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "You can drink such a strong wine?" ”

Su Rong blinked.

Zhou Gu approached her, "The smell of wine all over your body, how much have you drunk?" ”

Su Rong said truthfully, "An altar." ”

In fact, it was a jar and a half, and the half of the altar that was originally drunk was given to the father-in-law of the land when he met the assassin.

"It's okay, a person who drinks a jar can come back without changing his face, look down on you." Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Then did you bring back these two jars of wine and continue to drink?" ”

Su Rong shook his head, "I bought it for you." ”

"You have a conscience." Zhou Gu took the two jars of wine, and taught her at the same time, "A daughter's family, don't run around in the middle of the night, relying on how much ability you have, don't you know how thick the sky is?" Or is it that Jiangning County has good security, and it can be done at night without closing the door and leaving the road behind? ”

"It's not there yet." Su Rong listened to Zhou Gu teach her a serious lesson, her heart was very relieved, and she shook her head, "Not next time, I just slept too much during the day, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk." ”

Zhou Gu let out a "hmm" and remembered something, "I've always wanted to ask, why are there no beggars in Jiangning County?" Not even a ragged man? ”

"Oh, this, it's my father's good governance, everyone who enters the Jiangning realm and is penniless, can go to the government's relief center to work as a helper for ten days, and after ten days, he will receive a salary, and with this salary, he can do some small business and settle down. There are also various policies given by the government, as follow-up help, and after a set of implementation, there will be no beggars. ”

"Where did the government get the money? This shelter needs a lot of silver, right? Zhou Gu wondered, "Moreover, there are various policies, which also need silver support to operate, right?" ”

Su Rong thought to herself that Zhou Gu really wasn't empty in her stomach, she nodded, "The taxes of the government, the donations of the local wealthy, and the beggars who have been helped to settle down in Jiangning, they will also pay a part of the settlement fee in Jiangning as a foreigner every year, in short, wait a minute, if you are interested, you can find my father when you go back, my father will definitely be happy to tell you in detail." ”

Zhou Gu understood, "It turns out that this is the reason why although Jiang Ning is rich, he can only be self-sufficient, and the annual taxes are not paid to the imperial court. ”

He was puzzled, "I heard that His Majesty sent someone to check Uncle Su back then, but later he didn't find out that he was corrupt, and he didn't have a single tael of silver, so I laughed angrily, I must have known Jiangning's policies for the benefit of the people, but why, didn't the whole Liang implement it?" Not to mention all over the world, just to say that on the way from the capital to Jiangning, I saw a lot of beggars, and many people didn't seem to know that Jiangning was in such a good situation. ”

"Jiangning County cannot be replicated." Su Rong smiled, "Because there is a person in Jiangning, the first champion of Zhengde for three years, he has great talent, but he doesn't like the court, he has traveled all over the world for many years, and then he came to Jiangning, got along with my father, and settled in Jiangning." He formulated a series of policies for the benefit of the people, which my father admired very much, and the two of them implemented them together. At the beginning of the policy, it was also very unsmooth, but now more than ten years later, it is Jiangning County that you see. That person's name was Xie Yuan. ”

Zhou Gu suddenly said, "Xie Yuan, I know, it turns out that he has been staying in Jiangning County, when I was accompanying me in the East Palace, Mrs. Qin admired Xie Yuan very much, saying that he was talented, and he did not enter the imperial court, and he did not pay homage to the prime minister, but it was a pity." ”

"It's not a pity to benefit the people, right?" Su Rong asked.

"It doesn't count." Zhou Gu shook his head affirmatively, "Where is he now?" Can Ming'er take me to meet him? ”

"He was invited by Yunshan Academy to teach last month, and he should rush back when I arrive." Su Rong shook his head, "If you stay until the day of my time, you will be able to see him." ”

"On the day you arrived, he rushed back?" Consultant Zhou: "It's very good to you!" ”

"Yes, Uncle Xie has never married in his life, and he treats me as a daughter." Su Rong yawned.

Zhou Gu saw her looking sleepy, stopped talking, and waved at her, "It's so late, go back and rest!" ”

Su Rong said "um" and went back to the room.

Zhou Gu saw Su Rong go back to the room, and also closed the door with the wine, after putting the wine down, he turned on the lamp, looked at the two jars of wine on the table, and thought to himself, he lived next door to Su Rong, but he didn't hear when Su Rong went out, she came back, and he didn't hear her make a movement, if it wasn't for the window of his room open, he smelled a strong smell of wine wafting into the house, listen carefully, there were slight footsteps, and he wouldn't go out to check, just happened to catch her sneaking back.

The guards of the Protector's Mansion, although they are not top masters, are all good at one against ten, and no one even found out when she went out, no one reported him, and there was a pile of waste.

Thinking again, if she, the fiancée, marries into the Protectorate Mansion, I am afraid that it will be very easy to go out over the wall, and her skills are good, I don't know where she learned it.

Also, this drunken flower drink, a hundred taels of silver and a jar, in addition to drinking it herself, she also brought him back two jars, and she has a lot of money in her hands?

Zhou Gu was not sleepy, so he simply opened a jar of wine, sat in front of the window and drank it, and after a jar of wine was in his stomach, he felt that this drunken flower drink was indeed a good wine, so he opened another jar and drank it in one go.

After two jars of wine, Zhou Gu was a little drunk, so he went back to bed and fell asleep again.

After Su Rong took a bath, he smelled the smell of wine coming from next door, and he wanted to laugh, so he laughed silently twice, and then slowly smiled. Reaching out to flicker the wick, under the flickering light shadow, she took out the dagger, intending to take a closer look, under the light of the fire, a special inscription was faintly revealed, she paused for a moment, squinted her eyes and looked carefully.

It turns out that it has a mark, but it can only be seen by candlelight?

Echo?

What is the meaning?

She stared for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason, so she simply put away the dagger, turned off the light, and went back to bed.
