Chapter 433: Blossoming!
Gu Rongrong originally wanted to lull Leng Xinghe to sleep, and then quietly go to the city protection embassy, but she didn't expect that the more she talked about Leng Xinghe, the more energetic she became.
Gu Rongrong could hear that Leng Xinghe was sincerely grateful to He Zhanyue at the beginning, after all, as he said, he gave up his future and was demoted here.
Gu Rongrong patted him on the shoulder: "He is also selfish, not all for you, when he was mixed in the capital, he was just a forbidden army, and if he was mixed up as a team leader, how good could it be?" ”
"Commander of the Forbidden Army, is it his turn? When the time comes, it will have to be said that it depends on the strength of his family, and it has nothing to do with his own efforts, and that kind of life is not easy. ”
"On the contrary, in Suzhou, not to mention covering the sky with one hand, it's almost the same, there is military power in hand, and the emperor is far away, what's wrong?"
"If you mix up here, your future is no worse than in the capital," Gu Rongrong's smile overflowed from her eyes, "Others just see you as soft-hearted, don't be taken advantage of." ”
Leng Xinghe's heart was warm, and he held her fingertips: "With Rong Rong here, others don't want to use me." ”
His eyes were dark, and there was a warm light in the depths of his eyes, which was reflected in Gu Rongrong's heart, warm.
Gu Rongrong couldn't describe this feeling, like a person who had been alone in the dark for too long, and finally saw the light in the distance.
She nodded slowly and leaned over slowly.
Just as her lips were about to meet, the hen crowed in her space.
"Blossomed, blossomed! Rongrong, there is a large flower blooming in your space! ”
Gu Rongrong froze, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
When Leng Xinghe saw her approaching, he tilted his head and suddenly paused, held back a smile, held her face, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Now, I'm not sleepy at all.
Gu Rongrong thought that the hen was still looking at the space, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she cleared her throat: "Do you have a map of Suzhou?" ”
Leng Xinghe didn't know why, and somehow turned to the map all of a sudden.
But he nodded: "Yes." ”
He took out the map and opened it under the lamp, Gu Rongrong took a look, it was still quite a detailed topographic map.
Not only in the city of Suzhou, but also outside the city, there are hundreds of miles, mountains, rivers and rivers, all clearly marked.
"I want to see where we can go from besides the main gate."
Gu Rongrong's fingers slid lightly on the map, and suddenly saw Leng Xinghe as if he was distracted.
"What's wrong?"
A cold light flashed in Leng Xinghe's eyes, and his finger pointed somewhere: "Here, it's the River Supervision and Transfer Division." ”
Dozens of miles outside the city, there is a small river, and in places like this, there will be a river supervision and transshipment department.
"So what?" Gu Rongrong was puzzled.
Leng Xinghe's voice squeezed out of his throat, and every word was filled with anger: "I remember the envoy of the River Supervision and Transshipment Division, surnamed Fu." ”
"Princess Yi's mother's family is surnamed Fu, and they are the same Fu."
"The River Supervision and Transshipment Department has two major responsibilities, one is supervision, and the other is transshipment. The supervision is the taxation and harvest in the city, and the prevention of corruption by the officials in the city; The transshipment is the annual tax of silver taels, and the grain to be paid is transported all the way to the capital. ”
"Suzhou is a big city, not to mention anything else, he does have some governance talent, therefore, Suzhou's harvest will not be a decimal."
Gu Rongrong's heart instantly understood: "Therefore, with such a large amount of money, the person who has to deal with it every year will not be a person who is hostile to each other."
He Zhanyue was demoted here back then, it was fundamentally designed by him and Yiwang, even if there was no one in the court to intercede for him, he would also be arranged to come to Suzhou. He and the Winged King are acting in a bitter trick, pretending to turn against each other. ”
Leng Xinghe exhaled heavily and laughed lowly: "Ridiculous, I'm really a joke, I thought he was really hurt for me, and he blamed himself for a long time." ”
Gu Rongrong also had anger in her heart: "It's okay, it's not too late to know now, he's unkind, don't blame us for being unjust." Playing yin, I don't know who has played whom. ”
Leng Xinghe looked at her flickering eyes and knew that she had an idea again.
"What do you want to do?"
Gu Rongrong smiled slyly: "Do you remember what we did in Phoenix Ridge at the beginning?" ”
"You mean, another divisive scheme?"
"It's not enough to be separated, the sound is striking the west, watching the fire from the other side, secretly crossing Chen Cang, we will give him all over again!"
Inside the Castle Protector's Palace.
He Zhanyue's face was gloomy like water.
"Your Excellency!"
"How? Have you caught it? ”
"This ...... My lord, there is no one in the inn anymore, Xiao Er said, they have been gone for a long time. ”
He Zhanyue was stunned for a moment, and slammed the tea cup to the ground.
After the fall, he chuckled lowly.
"That's right, this is the Leng Xinghe I know, proficient in the art of war, constantly scheming, very good, today I used the trick on my head."
"My lord, I'll take someone to chase it!"
He Zhanyue waved his hand: "When you leave early, you can't catch up, besides, he will definitely arrange the most elite people in the team, don't forget, there are his mother and sister there." ”
"If you go, you will fall for his scheme, and you will be killed."
He Zhanyue walked to the candle flame, stretched out his hand and pinched the wick of the candle, making a "bee" sound, and the fire immediately dimmed a little.
"Xinghe, I don't want to hurt you, but if you have to be my enemy, then I can only catch you first."
He was silent for a moment, and his voice was cold: "Give the order to go down, block the city gate, and post pictures and graphics." ”
"Remember, I found that Leng Xinghe wants to live, and the rest of the people, not one is left!"
"Yes."
He Zhanyue returned to the table, and he was the only one left in the room, and there was a sound of beating in the distance.
It wasn't early, but he didn't feel a little sleepy.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door, and the housekeeper whispered outside the door: "My lord, the little one has something to do." ”
"Come in."
The housekeeper came in with a bamboo tube: "My lord, there's a letter from there." ”
He Zhanyue was slightly stunned: "At this time? ”
"Exactly, you see."
He Zhanyue took the letterbox, took out the note inside, and immediately twisted his eyebrows after reading it.
"When was the last time you wrote from you?"
The butler thought for a moment: "Seven days ago." ”
"Seven days, less than ten days, this letter has to be more and more diligent, what does the surname Fu want to do."
"My lord, is it because he thinks the tax money is easy to collect because he has just passed the fair?"
"That's not such a collection method, the people have to live to make a living, is it possible that I have to collect taxes every day?"
The butler did not dare to answer, and bowed his head and remained silent.
He Zhanyue burned the letter and thought, "Send a few people tomorrow...... No, you can go over there and find out what the situation is.
In the past few years, there has never been a shortage of silver, and the transshipment department itself has to intercept some of it, where did all the intercepted silver go? Instead of making him stop, he intensified! ”
"Yes, tomorrow at dawn, the villain will go."
He Zhanyue waved his hand, and the housekeeper withdrew.
He walked to the window and looked at the vast night, somehow, a little uneasy.
The woman's dark eyes always appeared in front of him, and the smile was sharp, exposing him one after another.
If you catch that woman, you must vent your breath.
