The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

Chapter 234
For so many years, these officials have been fed by the money that should have been used to control the water.

Zhang Jiqian said again: "This water control is extremely difficult. What was left before was a mess, but the court didn't know why, but the supplies that were supposed to be delivered have not been seen for a long time. After thinking about it, I secretly sent the letter back to Beijing."

"I already know about this matter. King Jiu'an is handling it now, and he will personally send someone to escort him when the time comes. This time, I want to see who can make more money from this water control thing!"

When Li Wei said this, he snorted coldly.

Zhang Jiqian felt a little relieved after hearing the words.

Before he came here, he had thought that there would be Qiannan's arm. When sending the letter back to Beijing, the only worry was that the letter would not be delivered to the emperor. But now the emperor not only knew about this matter, arranged for someone to handle it, but also came here in person.

Zhang Jiqian could hardly restrain the excitement in his heart.

The king he is loyal to truly cares about the people.

but……

Zhang Jiqian thought about it, his excited and joyful expression instantly subsided, and he looked at Li Mi with worried eyes: "Is it dangerous for the emperor to come here?"

"Huh?" Li Wei looked at him in surprise.

Zhang Jiqian hesitated for a moment before saying: "I heard that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager... are not on good terms. In addition, the Emperor is the master of the world, and he only brought so few people here. I am a little worried."

"You don't have to worry. Before I came here, everything has been arranged. You are tired today, go back and rest first. Tomorrow morning, local officials at all levels will come. I will ask you one by one."

"Yes."

When Zhang Jiqian came out of the posthouse, the sky was already dark, but he was extremely looking forward to the sun tomorrow.

He glanced up at the sky, turned around and was preparing for you to go, when he saw two hesitant figures not far away.

Unable to see his face for a moment, Zhang Jiqian snapped, "Who?"

Those two figures stepped forward, and Zhang Jiqian saw them clearly: "It turns out that they are two adults. If you don't go back, what are you doing here?"

It was Wang Yong, the governor, and Qian Tong, the governor, who came here.

Wang Yong cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhang, the emperor came here suddenly, what did he say?"

"The emperor just asked a few words, and then went to rest. The emperor ordered to summon all the adults tomorrow to inquire about water control matters." Zhang Jiqian said.

"Master Zhang! Master Zhang!" Qian Tong said in a hurry: "Did the emperor not say anything else? You were originally sent by the emperor, and you are a person trusted by the emperor. Don't care about our life or death. Just reveal a thing or two about what the emperor suddenly came here. I will never say it, just to prepare."

Zhang Jiqian still looked like that, and said righteously: "Master Qian, the emperor has not asked questions yet, what are you afraid of? As long as you have no ghosts in your heart, no matter what the emperor asks, you can just answer truthfully."

Zhang Jiqian was about to leave after finishing speaking, and Qian Tong hurriedly chased after him: "Master Zhang, that's not what you said. You know that we have really tried our best in this place, and that's what we got here, but the emperor is different. What the emperor wants to see is nothing but results. If we know that flood control for so many years is empty talk, then our heads are probably not on our necks."

"..." Zhang Jiqian was stopped in his way, he frowned and didn't speak, only looking at Qian Tong in a hurry in the dark night.

Qian Tong, the governor of this place, has no problems with corruption, nor is he a cruel official, he can even be regarded as an upright official for the people, the only thing is that he is too afraid of death.

When he first came here, Qian Tong also guessed his mind like this, thinking about how to calm things down.

"Master Qian!"

Zhang Jiqian shouted helplessly: "Are you greedy for money?"

Qian Tong waved his hand immediately: "Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Then what are you afraid of? The money for water control has never entered your pocket, and you have written a letter to the capital, but you were stopped. Then what are you afraid of? The current emperor is a wise king, not a scourge. You have not made any mistakes. You just need to tell the truth. The emperor will not want your head."

"Really...really?"

"Naturally!"

With Zhang Jiqian's guarantee, Qian Tong's expression calmed down visibly.

Zhang Jiqian looked at Wang Yong again: "Master Wang also has similar doubts?"

Wang Yong cupped his hands and said: "Master Zhang made fun of me. I am always uneasy when the emperor comes here suddenly, but I feel that Linchuan's situation is a little clearer, so I am waiting here because I want to know more."

Zhang Jiqian also knew that at least there was nothing wrong with these two people, otherwise he would not have said so much.

"The two adults really don't need to worry so much. Go back and think about how to tell the emperor the local situation in detail tomorrow."

"it is good."

Inside the post house, a guard had already informed Li Mi of what happened at the gate of the post house.

Wang Yong, Qian Tong...

Li Wei rummaged through his memory for the memories belonging to these two people, and it took him a while to realize that it must have been two or three years since these two people came to Linchuan.

Back then when the officials in Linchuan committed a crime, the Queen Mother wanted to intervene, and in the end the game was over, so these two mediocre people were put here.

These two people are not his people, but they are not from the Queen Mother's side either, at least not back then.

Thinking of this, Li Wei signaled to the guards: "Don't worry about these two people for now, we'll talk about everything tomorrow.

"Yes."

After the guards retreated, Li Wei washed up and lay down to rest. When he closed his eyes, he felt empty around him.

It's like going to a kitten that is arching around.

As soon as he noticed such emotions, he quickly opened his eyes, staring sharply at the darkness, frowning slightly, but couldn't help wondering whether she would be embarrassed if she stayed in the capital.

But he felt that he was thinking too much.

When the little silly cat grew up, he would show his teeth at people he didn't like, not only scaring people, but also really biting people.

After a while, Li Wei closed his eyes again.

For some reason, he clearly knew that he was dreaming, and vaguely saw a little girl with a blurry figure running past in front of him. Her hasty steps and crisp voice seemed familiar to him, so he subconsciously raised his steps and followed her.

After bypassing the rockery, the little girl suddenly grew up and became like Lu Xiyao, looking at him with a smile on her face.

He frowned unconsciously, he couldn't explain why, but he just felt something was wrong, as if the little girl who ran past just now should not look like Lu Xiyao when she grows up.

It was at this time that Mengjing seemed to sense the change in his mood, and Lu Xiyao's face began to change slowly, and finally changed into Fu Yao's appearance.

Fu Yao tilted her head, pouted with displeasure.
