Chapter 193 Mismatch
No matter how reluctant he was, Meng Silang, whose eyes were filled with resentment, still didn't arouse the slightest pity from Qin Yuehuai, even though he coughed so hard that his throat started to smoke.

When Qin Yuehuai concluded that he had no chance of survival, "You have gone too far, there is no turning back," he angrily spat "Old Thief" and left the medicine hall.

Shen Yanhan watched Meng Changqing disappear in the wind and snow, and saw the back of the old thief under the eaves that seemed to be as tall as a mountain today, with an indestructible temperament, and thought for a long time.

She heard clearly what Qin Yuehuai suggested to the refugees just now. She never expected that it only took less than a quarter of an hour from when she learned that there were so many people in the city to when she made the suggestion. Qin Yuehuai actually She had a plan in mind; she didn't expect that his plan was so thorough and completely solved the worries she had raised on the road. The foresight and foresight in it was, at least, beyond her reach.

At this time, Shen Yanhan sincerely felt how important a person's ability to solve problems is at critical moments.

The fear she had in her heart just now was gradually dispelled by the method he told the young man named Ma.

What's even more rare is that he doesn't just talk about big principles. His language is easy to understand and his tone is slow. The examples he gives are simple and appropriate, so that the young people who don't know Mandarin can clearly understand why they did what they did and what they did. What can you get from him after that? What you can get from him is complete equal respect.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen, who had always kept her heart tightly closed and refused to see the real Qin Yuehuai, seemed to have opened her eyes and saw the shining points in him bit by bit.

——In fact, he did not become superior or ignorant of the sufferings of the people just because his status became the number one scholar or official.

This man was like this, Shen Yanhan thought of how he was when he was still in Qingshui Village, gentle and polite to others, and everything was calm and unhurried.In the past, his whole person, although it may have been mostly pretending, did have a gentle and gentle aura all over him.

It is true that Qin Yuehuai doesn't like to laugh now, and speaks slowly but calmly. She has actually seen him from a distance without smiling in front of others. After he won the first prize, he paraded through the streets, looking aloof and cold, and could not use "gentleness" at all. " to describe him.

However, the gentleness of some people is not superficial, but embedded in their bones. It is only reflected when they act, right?

He will break into the military camp alone to save a few young ladies, he will save Liang Yifei, the biological son of his family enemy, and he will make elaborate plans for refugees who have nothing to do with his future...

Shen Yanhan looked at him again and saw that he was wearing a green shirt. He was clean, perhaps, just like his nature.

Qin Yuehuai turned around and came back, and what he saw was Shen Yanhan's beautiful eyes staring at him, with a touch of tenderness in her eyes.

His heart strings seemed to be plucked by someone, and there was a cold sound, and his heart was agitated, and his mood was confused.

He really didn't want to take advantage of Shen Yanhan's kindness today, but it seemed that he was doing it wrongly and the result was good.

Qin Yuehuai stepped closer to Shen Yanhan. Shen Yanhan spoke before him and asked him, "Is it true that you said that people petitioned in front of the Luzhou government office during the natural disaster in the fourth year of Yongxing?"

Qin Yuehuai nodded: "Really."

Shen Yanhan asked again: "The boy in his early ten years who is taking the lead, is you?"

Qin Yuehuai nodded again.

Zhang Jun had just been appointed governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi at that time, and the local officials were all local officials. The disaster relief issue was not under Zhang Jun's control at all. It was indeed him and his people who caused trouble at the Luzhou government office.It's just that "Qi Yan" is not from Luzhou. When he told the refugees about this, he used stories he had heard.

After receiving his confirmation, Shen Yanhan didn't feel so relaxed.

She asked again: "You haven't eaten or drank for five days?"

More than five days?

However, Qin Yuehuai said: "I just use this to remind them, so that they can be fully prepared that it will take time to achieve success."

Shen Yanhan didn't believe his words at all: "You said you would never lie to me again."

Qin Yuehuai: "It's all in the past, why bother holding on."

Shen Yanhan: "But you have found the root of the disease. This is how your problem was formed bit by bit, isn't it?"

Qin Yuehuai said directly: "You care about me so much."

Shen Yanhan replied to him with his words: "It's all in the past, why bother to persist."

Qin Yuehuai had nothing to do with her harsh temper, so he took her hand, put it to his lips and blew on it, fearing that she would be frozen by the frost and wind.

Cai Xizhu looked toward the door during a busy break. When she saw this scene, her eyes immediately widened.

It's not that this scene of a man's love for a concubine is very abrupt in today's conservative world, but she remembers clearly that Jiao Jiao is looking for a son-in-law.

She knew that what Shen Yanhan said always meant what he said.

She also knew that Qin Qilang was born to the eldest princess of Yanqing. Such a noble status would definitely not be related to the words "son-in-law".

Cai Xizhu was puzzled, so what was the relationship between the two of them now?
Then she thought again, wasn't it true that she and Meng Silang had a unclear relationship?
Feeling very upset, Cai Xizhu glanced at Shen Yanhan a few more times, as if she was eager to see her own way out from her friend's attitude.

Shen Yanhan's reaction this time was different from before.

She did not pull out Qin Yuehuai's hand without hesitation, but instead moved her eyes from his lips to his abyss-like ink eyes, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking at him closely.

Seeing her like this, Qin Yuehuai struck while the iron was hot and deliberately asked her: "Are you satisfied with the solution I gave you today?"

Ask knowingly.

Shen Yanhan snorted softly and said reservedly, "Just barely."

Qin Yuehuai narrowed his eyes and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Is this forced? Madam Shen said it as if you were not the one who asked me what to do just now, as if she could think of a better way."

Shen Yanhan was teased and laughed. Halfway through, she felt that the look on his face was a little too good, so she suppressed her smile again and reprimanded him confidently: "You just said a few words, and the results haven't come out yet. , I am the first to praise you, what else do you want?"

She imitated him, squinted at him, and added: "I advise you to be content with what you have."

It was the first time she did this action. Because she was not skilled, her eyes were empty but her eyelashes kept trembling. It was quite funny. Qin Yuehuai was also amused by her and wanted to laugh, but she didn't say any more.

He tested Shen Yanhan's bottom line step by step, but knowing that everything will turn against her, pursuing her too closely would only annoy her.

The two of them were silent, watching the snow side by side outside the door and waiting for others.

The world was silent, the frost and wind were cold, but they knew very well that some of the ice and snow was already melting in their hearts.

After a while, the two returned to the house.

Meng Changqing's life was indeed not in vain. Not long after he left home, he was ordered to search for the homeless people living on the streets in the city, and the results came. One after another, more patients gathered at "Ankang Hall".

Dr. Jiang was blowing his beard and glaring at the "initiator" Shen Yanhan from afar at the examination table. Shen Yanhan turned a blind eye and led the patients towards him one by one, smiling to please him: "Doctor Jiang, please save this person quickly."

When the oxcart pulling hay arrived, Qin Yuehuai went to make beds for the refugees.Almost all the people here who could move around had followed Young Ma out, leaving only a few who could move. He went back and forth several times by himself to carry hay and spread bedding. He was busy from nightfall to midnight, waiting for people to drink medicine and eat. , and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves to clean the dishes and clean up the mess.

In the eyes of everyone, this Qi Langjun has extremely strong hands-on ability. He looks elegant, but his hands and feet are nimble when doing things, and his body is made of copper and iron. He did not rest for a breath in the middle of the night, and he did not show any signs of fatigue.

Later in the night, when everyone rested, he carried Shen Yanhan back.

Shen Yanhan lay on his shoulder, holding an umbrella with one hand and touching the scars on his face with her fingers. She said with tears in her eyes due to yawning, "Why do you seem to have so much energy? Don't you feel tired after working for half a night?"

What he was doing was meaningful, and being able to carry her around the world like this was an unexpected joy. How could he be tired?

Qin Yuehuai walked steadily and responded to her: "I don't feel tired."

Shen Yanhan yawned again, probably because he was sleepy, and blurted out: "But you didn't rest last night."

Qin Yuehuai suddenly paused and looked at her sideways, staring at her lips that were very close at hand. There was no clear meaning in his eyes or words: "I don't need to rest tonight."

Shen Yanhan heard his deep meaning and was not annoyed. She laughed, touched his Adam's apple with her fingers, and said close to his ear: "But I'm tired, don't torment me."

She was so evil-minded that she was not satisfied even after touching her Adam's apple, and moved her fingers straight into his collar little by little.

Her cold fingers fell on his warm skin, inducing shivers in his body and heart.

Qin Yuehuai's voice became hoarse: "Who is torturing whom?"

Shen Yanhan enjoyed it endlessly, scratching the scars on his skin with her fingertips, and tightening her feet around his waist. Qin Yuehuai felt that his endurance was worrying, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and his upper and lower parts became tense.

He called her as if begging for mercy: "Jiao Jiao."

However, Shen Yanhan deliberately put her lips to his ear, and the hot breath from her mouth penetrated into his ear without any reservation: "Huh? What's wrong?" After saying that, her soft and waxy lilac thing hooked his ear. .

She really didn't hide her intention of teasing him and teasing him.

His fire spread from his ear bones.

In this way, he originally thought of sending her back to the shop to rest, but now he changed his mind and carried her directly back to his residence.

It was still his impossibly simple bedroom, still showing no restraint, Shen Yanhan was humming squeamishly, as if composing a melodious tune that would never end.

Qin Qilang could naturally feel her response and indulgence towards him.

He tentatively hugged her from behind.

Shen Yanhan did not refuse, but when her patience ran out, she bit the wrist in front of her heart.

It was almost morning, and there were rustling footsteps outside the door. Qin Yuehuai pecked Shen Yanhan's cheek and said to her, "I'm going out for a while, and I'm afraid I won't come back to sleep. You need to rest before you get up." Don't worry about Ankang Hall, I will take care of it."

Shen Yanhan nodded and watched him stand up and put on his clothes one by one.He has long hands and long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist, well-proportioned texture, and smooth movements. Just looking at him, he is endlessly pleasing to the eye.

She suddenly asked him from behind: "When is your birthday?"

Hearing the soft voice, Qin Yuehuai paused while adjusting her sleeves. She turned around and saw that she was hugging the quilt, revealing a charming little face. Their eyes met, and her autumn-cut pupils winked at him.

He raised the corners of his lips and walked back, bending towards her: "The tenth day of May."

Shen Yanhan asked again: "What year are you from?"

Although he had told her before, he was happy to tell her again as long as she wanted to hear it. Qin Yuehuai smiled: "I am born in Yong'an in 20 years."

Shen Yanhan sighed softly: "You turned out to be the same age as Liang Sanlang, so you are three years older than me." When Liang Yifei was suddenly mentioned, Qin Yuehuai's smile froze slightly, and he had some bad premonition in his heart, but he still nodded. Responded to her: "Yes."

Shen Yanhan frowned, feeling regretful: "My ex-fiancé and ex-husband were born in the same year. It can be seen that people born in this year are not compatible with me. I will never be able to..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin Yuehuai straightened up, turned around and left.

Shen Yanhan smiled behind him: "I haven't finished speaking yet, why don't you listen?"

Qin Yuehuai didn't look back: "It's better not to tell."

Shen Yanhan raised her voice: "If you don't listen to me, I'm going to be angry."

Qin Yuehuai put his hand on the door and opened the door after a pause, taking her threat as nothing.

Shen Yanhan watched him leave, plucked the knot of the red rope on her wrist with her fingertips, retreated into the bed with the strong smell of Qin Yuehuai, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

*
After Qin Yuehuai went out, it was Yang Dong waiting for him under the eaves.

Seeing him appear, Yang Dong got straight to the point: "Master Lang, we have captured Li Ge."

Li Ge is Li's second brother. Ever since they captured Li Zhi in the Huaihe River, and then followed Wang Qiong's men out of the city to capture Li Hou, who wanted to kill Li, he has become the only second-in-command in Lijiazhai who has escaped justice.

Qin Yuehuai took a deep breath and nodded in approval.

Yang Dong asked: "Are you going to be imprisoned in Li's No. [-] Department?"

Qin Yuehuai shook his head and ordered: "Send them all to the residence of Yu Yunwen, Minister of War."

*
Li Ge, who was gagged and held captive, struggled wildly, trying to regain a chance of life.

First, the younger sister Li refused to listen to his dissuasion and insisted on entering the capital. Soon after entering the city, there was no news. Then, the elder brother Li Zhi got a letter from the sister and disappeared after leaving the stronghold. As the second head of the Li family stronghold, he was already very anxious. After finding out that Li Zhi was imprisoned in the Lin'an Mansion, he could no longer sit still and led his brothers into the Lin'an Mansion without stopping. They put on a disguise and entered the Qin Mansion on the pretext of wishing Wang Qiong a birthday.

With many years of cooperation, Li Ge was convinced that Wang Qiong and his wife would not betray him and would help him take away Li Zhi and Li Zhi. However, he did not expect that Prime Minister Qin had opened a convenient door for him to successfully kidnap Li Zhi. On the way, an expressionless "Chen Yaojin" suddenly appeared.

Both brothers became prisoners.

When the news of the disappearance of brothers Li Ge and Li Zhi came, the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qin was having dinner, singing and dancing. The wife of the Prime Minister, Wang Qiong, had not yet finished her all-night birthday party, but her mood plummeted.

She told Qin Hui about this incident. Qin Hui stopped drinking and singing and asked with a serious face: "Who did this?"

Wang Qiong shook his head: "I didn't find out. The other party is very skilled."

Qin Hui put down his wine cup and thought for a moment, then he became suspicious: "It's been less than two hours since we all left the house. I'm afraid there might be someone inside. Check it out!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to turn aside, but Wang Qiong grabbed his wrist and said, "Leave this matter to me."

Can she still wonder who Qin Hui has trusted recently? Qin Hui is determined to give this task to Liang Yifei, and Liang Yifei, apart from not being her biological child, more importantly, is the evil seed that she has not gotten rid of.

Thinking of "getting rid of him", Wang Qiong suddenly remembered that Liang Yifei had been imprisoned in Lijiazhai for several days, and cast a cold look at Liang Yifei.

Liang Yifei drank his wine calmly, turning a blind eye to the sudden gaze on him.

He had just seen Wang Qiong's personal envoy come to report to Wang Qiong. Wang Qiong's face changed after hearing this, and he guessed that something had happened.As for what happened, it was obvious that among the people here, only the people from Lijiazhai left the table.

The calmer he became, the more suspicious Wang Qiong became about him. After whispering a few words to the female envoy, she said, "Let Wang Yi come."

She got up and went out, and heard Wang Yi's report in a remote place, saying that Liang Yifei had been well behaved since he entered the mansion to recuperate in August, and there was nothing unusual about his whereabouts. She couldn't help but become more puzzled: He wanted to kill the people in Lijiazhai. Yes, who else?
The more he thought about it, the worse Wang Qiong's face became.

First, Li disappeared, and now Brother Li has also disappeared. Secretly, he is afraid that he is planning to use Li's village to turn things upside down. Who is it?
*
As people can see, Qin Yuehuai's physical strength is amazing. After half a night of ups and downs, he went on duty as usual.

As soon as he entered the door, his colleague Li Ye came to greet him and said excitedly: "Brother Qi, have you heard about it?"

Li Ye was the liveliest person in the entire Hanlin Academy. Perhaps in order to close the distance with him, he would tell him something new almost every day when he was on duty. But obviously, Qin Yuehuai today was in a different relaxed mood than before.

He had a vague hunch in his heart that what Li Ye was going to talk about today should be related to him, so he cooperated and said, "Brother Li, have you heard anything interesting again?"

Li Ye was indeed excited. He slapped his thigh and said, "It's not a funny thing, but it's true! Something happened to the Lin'an government office again! Last night, the government office was surrounded by refugees from other places. This morning we boarded The drum at the entrance of Wenguyuan has been beating loudly since the fifth hour! By now, I think most of the city knows about it."

Qin Yuehuai asked again: "What are the reasons for the refugees?"

Li Ye whispered: "There is a loss of life! I heard that more than one person died, and they were all frozen to death. The body is still at the entrance of the Lin'an government office, and a large group of people are waiting for it in the government office. Give me an explanation."

Qin Yuehuai: "Didn't His Highness's room be dealt with first?"

Li Ye shook his head: "Of course not. If we took care of it, they wouldn't be able to beat the drum."

Qin Yuehuai nodded and sighed: "That's true."

Li Ye didn't know that this series of operations was planned by the person in front of him. He analyzed it and said: "Yesterday was the first day of His Majesty's shift. It was time for His Majesty to go back to the palace after his shift. After all, you know, His Majesty The inner palace doors must be keyed sooner or later. Those refugees only go to the Yamen at night. I think His Highness doesn’t even know about this. This morning, someone went to Denwenguyuan to file a complaint."

He seemed to want to avenge Zhao Yuankang, so he added: "Don't tell me, on the first day of duty, His Highness's luck... ugh!"

Qin Yuehuai did not answer the question about Zhao Yuankang, but focused on the Lin'an government office itself, saying: "In Lin'an government office, there is not only one person who can handle this matter. Last night, the refugees came to the government office to besiege them. , shouldn’t it be the time for the government officials to comfort you first?”

Li Ye shook his head and sighed: "In the government office, there are only two judges under Judge Zhao Tong. It was a coincidence yesterday that His Highness was not here and there was no one to take care of those people."

Qin Yuehuai felt ironic in his heart.

His idea of ​​encouraging the refugees to fight for their own interests was that he hoped that they could settle down in Lin'an Mansion under the formal protection of the government and live and work in peace and contentment. After all, the so-called three things for new officials to take office, Zhao Yuankang's new appointment as the Governor of Lin'an Mansion, knew that The people in the city were starving to death and freezing to death. No matter what, even for the sake of face, he and his men should take some measures.

But obviously, the selfishness and indifference of some people is far beyond imagination.

There are two judges in Lin'an Prefecture. One has gone to the subordinate county government office a few days ago. The other is a judge named Yang Po who is in charge of Lin'an Prefecture. He is obsessed with gaining power and has often gone to the prime minister's office in the past. Run, not to mention that yesterday was the birthday of the prime minister’s wife, Wang Qiong.

There was a big banquet in Prime Minister Qin's Mansion last night, which was not a good time to go and curry favor with such people.

Those refugees went to the government office and just met Yang Po. Yang Po didn't even care about the corpse. He even said "wait" in a rather unlucky way and walked away, leaving those people alone. Freezing in the cold wind.

If Meng Changqing hadn't asked some people to stand for those people at night, and it was freezing overnight, I don't know how many more people would have died.

Ah.

Disregarding human life, doing nothing, only looking after the powerful and powerful.

——The capital city at the feet of the emperor is still like this, and the whole atmosphere of the Zhou Dynasty court can be seen.

Qin Yuehuai remained calm and said to Li Ye: "It's no wonder that Meng Yushi would join the Lin'an government office. It's really..."

He paused for a moment, looking troubled by speaking ill of others behind their backs.

This behavior successfully attracted the fast-talking Li Ye to finish the rest of his words for him: "It's up to you."

He blurted out too quickly, and when he realized that he was chewing the eldest prince's tongue behind his back, Li Ye coughed and added: "His Royal Highness has now officially taken over the government office, and the atmosphere of the government office will definitely be completely new." .”

Qin Yuehuai only glanced at Li Ye lightly and said nothing.

Zhao Yuankang went on duty on the first day and then went off duty on time. Whether it was to avoid being exposed, to attend Wang Qiong's banquet, or for some other reason, regardless of the objective result, he did not put aside important matters within his duties. in my heart.

He actually ignored that he was able to obtain the real power of Lin'an Prefecture because of the theft in the city mentioned by Meng Changqing during his impeachment.

The current refugees in Lin'an Prefecture were the earliest ones who poured into the city right after the midsummer floods. Thanks to the prosperous commerce in the city, many people went to work in various shops and were able to make a living.

Except for some people who go around stealing things, in most cases, these people do not put any pressure on the government office.

But just because they didn't disturb the government office too much doesn't mean that the problems caused by these outsiders don't exist.

The refugees in Lianhe Lane told him that they had gone to the government offices many times to ask for help since it rained in the city, but they had been blocked by the government officials for various reasons.

If Zhao Yuankang was more sensitive and cared more about the people he was about to take care of, he should at least immediately figure out the reasons behind the frequent thefts after taking office, understand the plight of people in the city at the moment, and avoid this. Such incidents have caused greater instability in the city, and we have to start plugging the foundation that may be festering.

No.

The whole day, Zhao Yuankang did not even step out of the government office.

The luxurious and spacious carriage of the Great Prince of Zhou Dynasty traveled from Da Nei to the government office on time, and from the government office back to Da Nei on time, just like a passerby in Lin'an Mansion.

How can this style of art make the turbid atmosphere look brand new?
He didn't say anything, and Li Ye knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly changed the subject: "Brother Qi, it's my grandfather's birthday tomorrow. Maybe I can have a cup of wine as a favor?"

Qin Yuehuai believed that his friendship with Li Ye did not reach the level of being involved in his personal affairs. Considering that Li Ye had followed him for many days after asking him about his personal affairs, he could probably guess the purpose of inviting him in, and he was even less interested.

"I would like to congratulate Mr. Li first. However, I agreed to Meng Silang earlier and went with him to Jingci Temple to pray for blessings during the break. I am afraid that I will live up to Brother Li's invitation."

It is almost common knowledge in Hanlin Academy that Meng Changqing is on good terms with him. Li Ye regretted: "Brother Qi said nothing, I am presumptuous."

After all, it was the intention of the Buddha. Qin Yuehuai asked more: "I wonder if Mr. Li will live a long life this year?"

"A man of nine years." Li Ye said, "I remember Brother Qi, are you too?"

Qin Yuehuai nodded.He is not, but Qi Yan is.

Li Ye sighed: "Brothers Qi, you should be more careful. This year is a year of birth, and it is so rough. My grandfather fell once this year. The master said, don't have too much contact with people who are born in the year of birth. There are some conflicts in the horoscopes..."

Qin Yuehuai secretly twitched the corners of his mouth again and again.

Early in the morning, twice, I was "incompatible" with her.
