Chapter Eighty-Seven: Relationships
As soon as Zhao Wangshu turned around, he saw Zhao Wanning looking at her in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Wangshu asked.
"Still think it'......" Zhao Wanning's tone hesitated, "Then don't care about Wu Daoquan?" ”
Zhao Wangshu put down the scissors and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Wu Daoquan is a common man, this matter needs evidence, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”
"Besides, we just arrived in Qingzhou today, and we are not familiar with anything, and he has to do this Qingzhou disaster relief matter."
"But will he take care of the disaster? I don't see he's doing anything. ”
"Wu Daoquan is now in the name of the minister of the Qincha, and he is fully responsible for the disaster relief in Qingzhou. If he doesn't do it, he will be responsible for what happens later. ”
"Now that you and I have arrived in Qingzhou, we can be regarded as supervising him. If Wu Daoquan still wants to keep the black gauze hat on his head, he will know what to do and what not to do. ”
Zhao Wangshu said so, and Zhao Wanning was not entangled.
"It's just," Zhao Wangshu turned his head: "Regarding the dereliction of duty of the people of Wu Daoquan, we need to find evidence." If there is no evidence in hand, I am afraid it will be difficult to convict him. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wanning remembered Pei Yue hidden in the crowd. Pei Yue's trip is most likely to investigate Wu Daoquan, Pei Yue is in the dark, and it will be more convenient to move.
And she and Zhao Wangshu are in the open, if you want to check Wu Daoquan, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
But if you can join forces with Pei Yue, it can be regarded as a strong team, but I don't know what Zhao Wangshu thinks of Pei Yue.
"Sister." Zhao Wanning asked tentatively, "What do you think of Pei Yue?" ”
"Pei Yue?" Zhao Wangshu was puzzled.
"That's right, it's the three yuan in the company, Pei Yue, who was sent by the saint to serve in Dali Temple, the champion of this autumn season." Zhao Wanning said.
Afraid that Zhao Wangshu didn't know Pei Yue, Zhao Wanning added: "Oh yes, it's still Pei Zheng Pei's grandson." ”
"I know him, isn't he the one who rescued the child he sent to Jishantang." Zhao Wangshu said.
Zhao Wanning thought about it, indeed, after rescuing the children who were abducted by Uncle Zhong last time, she sent them to Zhao Wangshu's Jishan Hall.
At that time, she was afraid that the boss of Jishantang would be known to outsiders that Zhao Wangshu was the boss, so she hid it from Pei Yue. But on Zhao Wangshu's side, although she didn't hide anything, she didn't mention Pei Yue's name.
Come to think of it, it was the coachman who drove the carriage to pick up people that day who recognized Pei Yue.
Zhao Wangshu chuckled: "It's just that I don't know why you suddenly mentioned him." ”
"I saw Pei Yue today." Zhao Wanning said.
"Pei Yue came to Qingzhou?" Zhao Wangshu was a little surprised.
Zhao Wanning nodded and said, "Today in front of the Qingzhou Mansion, he was mixed in the crowd queuing up to receive porridge. ”
"Why did he come to Qingzhou?" Zhao Wangshu asked.
This Zhao Wanning didn't know, she said truthfully: "I don't know, he once left me a letter, saying that Dali Temple sent him out of Beijing to investigate the case, but he didn't say where to investigate the case." ”
"I was surprised to see him in Qingzhou today. But he seems to have come to Qingzhou secretly, as if he has been avoiding Wu Daoquan. ”
"Letters." Zhao Wangshu looked at Zhao Wanning with a smile, but did not speak.
Zhao Wanning was a little embarrassed by her expression, and she hurriedly explained: "I took Tian Mengmeng to Dali Temple to report to the official in the case of Uncle Zhong's abduction of children. He should have told me. ”
"Is there something wrong?"
Zhao Wangshu suddenly remembered something, she said leisurely: "If I remember correctly, he was the one who jumped into the pond to push the boat for you at the last Hundred Flowers Banquet." ”
"There's such a thing." Zhao Wanning nodded and said, "That day, Hongyi also stood up for me. ”
"And Lu Chunzhi, if he hadn't made a move, that water snake would have bitten me." Thinking of the turquoise water snake, Zhao Wanning felt a chill in his heart.
"Speaking of Lu Chunzhi, didn't he follow Wu Daoquan to Qingzhou? Why haven't you seen him today? Zhao Wanning asked.
Lu Chun knew this person, Zhao Wangshu still knew. Previously, the queen wanted to recruit horses for her, so she prepared some albums of the children of the family in advance and sent them to the eldest princess's mansion for her to choose.
Zhao Wangshu refused at that time and sent the albums back to the queen's palace intact.
"Lu Chun knows that he is afraid that he will be more than lucky." Zhao Wangshu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "A few days ago, the secret guard in my house said that he seems to have disappeared. It's just that for some reason, he didn't make his disappearance public. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Wanning was a little surprised. "Didn't Lu Chunzhi come to Qingzhou by order? He's also half a minister. How could anyone dare to attack him? ”
"What about the minister? If you get in the way of others and become a stumbling block, you will be kicked away. Zhao Wangshu said leisurely.
Seeing Zhao Wanning's shocked face, Zhao Wangshu smiled and said: "Don't worry, with me, and chasing the wind to protect each other secretly, no one can touch you." ”
Zhao Wanning shook his head: "I'm not afraid of this. I just think that these people are too mad, they regard human life as a mustard, and they are not afraid of retribution? ”
"Retribution?" Zhao Wangshu seemed to have heard something terrible, and she laughed and said, "If there is really retribution, where are there so many evil people in this world?" ”
"I don't think this criminal department and Dali Temple need to exist, wouldn't it be faster to directly build a temple to support heaven and earth?"
"Don't you believe in the existence of the Heavenly Dao?" Zhao Wanning asked tentatively.
In fact, she didn't believe in this herself. But she couldn't explain why she was reborn and returned, she obviously fell from a tall building, but she was able to go back to a year ago and start over.
"I believe it." Zhao Wangshu sighed: "Otherwise, I wouldn't believe what you predicted in your dream." ”
"It's just that the power of the Heavenly Way is uncontrollable, and there are too many evil people in this world, and there are many people who don't believe in the Heavenly Way and don't believe in reincarnation. And the way of heaven does not know when it will be fulfilled for them. ”
"Instead of waiting for the ethereal Heavenly Dao, it is better to collect evidence as soon as possible and arrest the wicked."
Zhao Wanning nodded: "That's right." ”
"Don't mention that." Zhao Wangshu took a sip of tea. "Listening to what you said, it is very likely that this Pei Yue secretly came to Qingzhou to investigate the case, and it is very likely that he is investigating Wu Daoquan."
Zhao Wanning nodded again and again: "I think so too." Now that Pei Yue is in the dark, it must be more convenient for him to check Wu Daoquan than us. If you can join forces with him, you will definitely be able to arrest that Wu Daoquan. ”
Zhao Wangshu's slender fingers tapped on the wooden tabletop, making a crisp tapping sound.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Zhao Wanning was inconvenient to disturb and sat quietly aside.
After a while, Zhao Wangshu opened his mouth and asked, "What is your relationship with that Pei Yue?" ”
"Me?" Zhao Wanning pointed at himself with his finger: "Me and Pei Yue?" ”
Zhao Wangshu bowed slightly.
"What can I do with him!" Zhao Wanning unconsciously raised her voice, and she suddenly remembered that Zhao Wangjin had asked her a question in the teahouse, saying that Pei Yue wanted to marry her.
It's hard to live a new life, and Zhao Wanning doesn't want to be trapped in the backyard.
Zhao Wangshu saw that Zhao Wanning was suddenly a little excited, so he comforted: "I want to ask if you can contact him, if you can, I want to meet with him and communicate about Wu Daoquan in person." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wanning knew that she was thinking about it, she was so emotional just now, and she didn't know if Zhao Wangshu would think too much.
Zhao Wanning's cheeks were slightly hot, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to fan the wind.
Zhao Wangshu looked at the red on her cheeks, and combined with her performance just now, there was a faint guess in his heart. But she didn't want to get involved in these children's affections, so she just didn't know.
Zhao Wanning hesitated: "I don't know where Pei Yue is." I only got in touch with him because of Uncle Zhong's case and the group of children, and I didn't have any contact with him privately. ”
"Besides, I'm afraid he is also secretly investigating the case this time, and he doesn't necessarily want to meet with us."
Zhao Wangshu didn't think so, she said: "Today I walked with you and that Wu Daoquan, why didn't Wu Daoquan and I see Pei Yue, but you did?" ”
"I've got a good look." Zhao Wanning said of course: "You don't know, Pei Yue's dress today is no different from ordinary people, maybe you have seen him too, but you just didn't recognize him." ”
Zhao Wangshu shook his head: "I know countless people, although I don't dare to say that I never forget it, but Pei Yue's appearance can be remembered, and it is impossible to see him but not recognize him." ”
"I didn't see him today, maybe because he didn't want me to see him." Zhao Wangshu continued: "Since you can see him, it means that he wants you to see him. ”
"......" Zhao Wanning was a little incredulous, and her words sounded a little strange, as if she really had something to do with Pei Yue. She didn't want to do that, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she had to keep silent.
Zhao Wangshu saw that Zhao Wanning kept his head down, so he didn't force her anymore, but said: "Master Wuji hasn't arrived in Qingzhou yet, and we have to live in this Qingzhou Mansion for a few more days." ”
"If Pei Yue wants to check on Wu Daoquan, he will definitely choose to live near the mansion, so that it is convenient to observe secretly."
"You can go to the outside of the government office more often these days, maybe you can meet him. If you see him, tell him I want to see him. ”
Zhao Wanning nodded.
"The secret guard said that a strange disease appeared in Qin County, and I have already sent someone to Qin County to inquire about the news. When there was news, we set off for Qin County. Zhao Wangshu continued.
"Isn't it okay to ask Wu Daoquan directly? Didn't he hand it to the capital with a fold? Zhao Wanning was a little confused: "Why do you want to let the secret guard inquire about the news?" ”
"I have read Wu Daoquan's excerpts, and it was still the news from a month ago, and now that a long time has passed, he has never sent anyone to investigate, but he has blocked Qin County and not allowed anyone to enter or leave." Zhao Wangshu sighed: "I'm just afraid that this Qin County will be more auspicious." ”
"This dog official who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Zhao Wanning said indignantly.
Zhao Wangshu chuckled: "Greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just human nature." It's just that he, as the minister of the Imperial Mission, is indeed derelict in his duties. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely play this matter to the Holy One. ”
"But when you're out and about, you need to be careful. Although the strange disease is concentrated in Qin County, it is not certain whether there are cases in Qingzhou City. If it is really a plague, I am afraid that this Qingzhou City is not safe. ”
"You have to be careful."
