Chapter XVII

Zhao Shuo stared at Xiting and said coldly: "Today, the saint has just ascended the throne, the East Palace has not yet been established, and it is still undecided who will be the master of this world in the future. ”

The sound was like a thousand years of ice, which made people tremble.

He straightened up and looked at Xiting, who was frightened and pale, and commanded sharply: "Ye Xing!" ”

Then he strode in the direction of the county office, completely hidden in the night.

Xiting was stunned in place, first shocked in her heart, then disappointed, and then a wave of anger surged into her heart, so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She thought that he had been deceived by Lu Angui by letting people drive him out in front of the yamen today, so she wanted to take him to see the facts with his own eyes, and then avenge those victims.

But she never expected that he would be so indifferent and ruthless, and even threaten herself.

"Miss, this matter is very involved, and I am afraid that it is not something we can solve. And this place is mixed, not a place to stay for a long time, why don't we go back to Beijing first, wait for the lord to report, and then make a decision? ”

Ping An witnessed all of Zhao Shuo's reactions.

He has been following Qian Ming'an's side in and out of various occasions all the year round, and he can see Zhao Shuo's warning, and he also understands the complexity of this matter.

But with Qian Xiting's character of being clear about everything, she would never give up until these victims were properly disposed of, so he could only pull Qian Mingan out and let her stop for the time being.

Qian Xiting was silent for a while, and ordered: "Okay, let's go back to Beijing first." ”

In fact, she also understands that they are alone and helpless here, even if they want to help these victims to avenge their grievances, they must return to Beijing first.

From Taoyuan County to the capital, I hurried along the way, and it took more than ten days to return to Kyoto.

The carriage entered the city from the south gate, crossed the East Street, and slowly drove towards the Qian Mansion.

"Madame, it's Miss's carriage."

Xiting slowly lifted the curtain, and when he looked up, he saw a beautiful woman in her early thirties standing in front of the gate, the woman was surrounded by gold and green brocade clothes, and a pair of red phoenix eyes were slightly bent.

Seeing this, a smile instantly appeared on Xiting's face.

He jumped out of the carriage happily, walked a few steps to the woman, held her hand and shouted, "Erniang." ”

The mother-in-law behind the Su family couldn't help but smile, looked at Xiting and said, "Miss, you can be regarded as back."

Madame received a letter of peace two days ago, knowing that you would arrive in Kyoto today, and led us mothers-in-law to wait at the door early, just thinking that she could see the young lady soon. ”

Su Shi coughed lightly, glanced at the woman with a sideways eye, and stroked Fuxiting's face: "Thin." ”

After that, he took her hand and walked to the house, "Let's go, go back to the house with Erniang." I heard that there was a flood in Pingyang County last month, killing and injuring many people, did you encounter displaced people on your way back to Beijing? They ......"

When Xiting heard the word 'homeless', he paused for a moment, glanced around the courtyard, and asked, "Erniang, where is my father?" ”

She has always been concerned about the disaster victims in Taoyuan County, and now when she returns to Beijing, the first thing she thinks of is to tell Qian Ming'an about it, hoping to use his relationship with the DPRK to help those victims avenge their grievances.

Su Shi naturally didn't know her thoughts, but when she was away from home for too long and missed her father, she took her hand again and continued to walk and said: "Your father hasn't gone down to court yet, don't worry about him, let's talk about it first." ”

After Su Shi led Xiting back to the east courtyard to settle down, he led the servants down to the kitchen together.

Xiting sat in front of the table in the room, a little anxious.

She was absent-minded after remembering the homeless people in Taoyuan County, and just waited for the Su family to leave, so she ordered Ping An to wait in front of the mansion, and wait for Qian Ming'an to inform her as soon as he returned to the house.

Xiting held his forehead with one hand, slowly picked up the teacup, and as soon as he put it to his lips, he heard a pleasant and hearty male voice coming from outside the house.

"But Ting'er has returned home?"

Xiting put down the teacup abruptly, got up and walked to the threshold in a few steps.

A thin man in his early forties, dressed in a scarlet official uniform, was walking from inside the courtyard.

The man walked steadily, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xiting was already waiting in front of the door, and a smile instantly appeared between his eyebrows, "Ting'er." ”

"Daddy!"

Xiting welcomed Qian Ming'an into the house, pushed him to sit down in front of the case, and said eagerly: "Dad, I will return to Beijing this time......

But before he finished speaking, he was pulled around by Qian Ming'an, "Come, let my father take a look, is my pavilion thin?" I ......"

Xiting only thought about what was in his heart, how could he still have the heart to greet him, so he only sat down opposite Qian Ming'an, and said solemnly: "Dad, listen to me, I will go back to Beijing this time, passing through Taoyuan County, where the victims ......"

Hearing this, Qian Ming'an's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and as soon as he wanted to open his mouth, he saw her and continued: "They can't eat enough, and they have ...... disaster relief food."

Xiting told the story of what happened to Taoyuan County, and then stared at Qian Ming'an intently: "Dad, this matter is not trivial, we have to find a way to help those victims avenge their grievances." ”

Who knows, Qian Ming'an not only was not in a hurry, but picked up the teacup and slowly tasted it.

Seeing this, Xiting suddenly became anxious, snatched the tea cup in his hand, and complained slightly: "Dad! ”

Qian Ming'an was stunned for a moment, then laughed, took another teacup, and took another sip of tea, "Oh, because my father knew that you were back in the house today, I rushed to the house as soon as I went to the house, and I didn't even have time to drink my saliva." ”

After that, he looked at Xiting and said, "What you said, the courtiers have already discussed it in the court.

The Holy Lord assigned His Royal Highness King Ying to personally go down to the disaster relief, and His Royal Highness has found out that Chen Jing, the Xiuhe Division of Pingyang County, was lazy and misjudged the disaster; Taoyuan County ordered Lu Angui to deceive the disaster, deduct disaster relief food, and embezzle ink relief silver. The two of them have now been detained in the Dali Temple, just waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded. ”

After hearing Qian Ming'an's words, Xiting was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the matter to be solved so quickly, and she still thought about discussing a solution with Qian Ming'an.

But in an instant, the tragic scene of the victims in Taoyuan County appeared in her mind, and her eyes were suddenly dyed with a trace of anger, only to see her say angrily: "Hmph, these officials are really bold, they even dare to withhold disaster relief food, forcing the victims to grab food." ”

Hearing this, Qian Ming'an's hand holding the tea cup froze for a moment, and in the next moment, he gently scraped Xiting's nose, "You, you're still too simple." ”

The flood caused the people of the three counties to be affected, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the saint was furious, and designated King Ying to personally provide relief. For such a big matter, he, Lu Angui, with a small county order, dared to openly withhold disaster relief food, embezzle money for the disaster, and the victims were forced to rebel. But as long as it is reversed, this matter will inevitably be passed on to the DPRK and China, and he Lu Angui will not think of it? ”
