Jiayun Pass is too far away, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at her in the capital, it is impossible for Cang Luochen to go.

And Cang Wensheng, as a general of Zhenguo guarding the border pass, could not return to the capital at will without the emperor's edict, which was thousands of miles away, and it was really difficult to meet each other.

"What does the general seem to be thinking about lately?" In the general's mansion, Cang Luochen and Bai Hua were playing chess, but Cang Luochen's chess pieces were scattered and obviously absent-minded.

Cang Luochen threw the chess pieces in his hand into the box and leaned on the cushion: "Don't play anymore." ”

Albino nodded, and put away the chess pieces one by one.

"The scenery of this capital is beautiful and peaceful, and the green and pleasant people look at it, but why do I miss the desert loess and golden knife over there."

Bai Hua put away the chess pieces, listened to Cang Luochen's words, and followed her gaze to the delicate green plants outside the window that had been artificially trimmed.

Bai Hua thought that the canary should be kept in a cage and cared for, but the desert goshawk could only let him fly high and open the sky.

**

As soon as the summer weather became hot, Cang Luochen let Chihiro play a fan on the side, and said that he had not been back to the capital for a long time, and his body was becoming more and more pampered.

Li Zhong brought someone an ice basin and placed it not far from Cang Luochen, and Cang Luochen asked Li Zhong: "Has the capital always been so hot, how do you feel that it is hotter than the border pass." ”

"It's never been so hot in previous years, but this year it's surprisingly hot, and it hasn't rained for a few days."

Cang Luochen looked at the sky outside that seemed to be on fire, thinking that the capital was like this, but he didn't know what this other place was like.

And a few days after Cang Luochen was worried, the imperial court received an excerpt from the local government, and there was a great drought in Songzhou!

Now that the imperial court has just breathed a sigh of relief, and it has caught up with the drought year, it is really a man-made disaster and a natural disaster.

The imperial court immediately allocated the silver grain for disaster relief and sent people to transport it to Song Zhou as quickly as possible, the emperor handled this matter in a very timely manner, but even so, the officials were corrupt and greedy, and it is difficult to say how much silver grain was left after the disaster relief really arrived in Song Zhou.

Originally, these things were not a big secret, as long as they didn't go too far, no one would poke them out if they were a little greedy.

But this time, the officials went too far.

On this day, Cang Luochen, an official with an official position but no official position, was still idle, and seeing that the weather was not very hot, he took Albinism to wander around the capital to pass the time.

Bai Hua heard that there is a teahouse not far from the West City Gate, which has recently become famous, and it is a place known to the literati and scholars of the capital.

Although Cang Luochen is a rough man, he occasionally wants to have a little literature and art, so the two of them walked to the West Street teahouse together.

"General, this is it." Albinism pointed to a façade not far ahead, and the word "dew" on the plaque was extremely elegant.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." The two stepped forward side by side.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard a noise near the city gate in the distance, and Cang Luochen and Albino stopped.

Then he saw that some people were also trotting to see the excitement, and Cang Luochen and Albino glanced at each other: "Go and see." ”

The two of them walked towards the city gate again, and when they got a little closer, they saw that it was several city gate guards with spears in their hands grabbing a middle-aged man.

The man was plainly dressed and dusty, apparently in a hurry, but was stopped by the city gate guards for some reason.
