During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 551 Zhou Meier

Yuan Li was surprised by this answer, "Don't you want to go home and reunite with your relatives?"

The woman shook her head, with a wry smile on her lips, "I am now a ruined person. Will they look at me seriously when I get home?"

The woman shook her head gently, "Maybe they will think that I am a disgrace to the family. Instead of going home and being angry, it is better to join the Supervision Department. I think the Supervision Department also needs people like me."

The Ministry of Supervision does need such people, and is even very scarce. Since its establishment, the Ministry of Supervision has developed many spies, including traffickers and innkeepers. Only female spies are scarce.

The name of the woman in front of him was Zhou Meier. During the famine years, he was sold to Ren Yazi by his family, and later moved to a brothel. Many years later, when he found his family, he learned that his family wanted to take back the few acres of Susukita and the Yamen property. There was a conflict.

In the end, his parents and brother were beaten to death, and his sister-in-law hanged herself.

When Yuan Li was investigating the case, he was accidentally discovered by people from the Xuzhou government. It was Zhou Meier who stepped forward in the crisis and gave him a place to hide, which allowed him to escape.

In order to thank Zhou Meier, Yuan Li promised to help him take revenge, but before that, she had to stay in the brothel to help her cover up.

Almost all brothels of all sizes in Xuzhou are related to officials. If you inquire about information here, you may be discovered at any time and be hunted down, but at the same time, this is also the safest place.

"Although your family is gone, you still have some relatives. Do you really not want to go back and live with them?"

Zhou Meier suddenly raised her head, "My lord, if one day you can take off this official uniform, would you be willing to return to your hometown?"

Yuan Li's expression changed, he shook his head slightly, and stopped trying to persuade her.

"After the matter with the Xuzhou government is settled, I will take you away. Before that, you can change your mind at any time. Even if you don't want to go home, I can find you a place where no one knows you and start your life again. No It is necessary to join the Supervision Department.”

"I am a weak woman who can go alone. How can I guarantee that I will not be bullied?"

Yuan Li nodded when he heard this.

The woman's eyes were firm, "Don't worry, sir. I joined the Supervision Department voluntarily. Even if something happens to me in the future, I will never regret it, let alone betrayal. Please give me a chance to be loyal to the country. I don't want to die." Being said to be a bitch who can do anything for others.”

Her facial features are exquisite and moving, and the stubbornness in her eyes makes people pity her.

Even Yuan Li, whose heart was as solid as a rock, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

"By the way, sir, there was a guest in the building yesterday..."

"A sneeze, a sneeze..."

"..."

"..."

Jiang Miao sneezed twice in succession. She touched her belly subconsciously and couldn't help but look to the side, Luo Tingye, who was still reading the book late at night.

"You're not scolding me in your mind, are you?"

"..."

Luo Tingye almost choked on his own saliva. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly tilted his head to the side and sneezed heavily.

Jiang Miao was dumbfounded, "Did you sneeze too?"

Luo Tingye thought he cared about her, so he touched his head and said, "Maybe he caught a cold. Just ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine later."

He didn't want Jiang Miao to worry, so he took the initiative to mention the imperial doctor.

Jiang Miao still grabbed his wrist, pressed her pulse properly, and listened carefully.

Luo Tingye felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help but pull her into his arms, "When will my Miao know her pulse?" "I just learned it in the past few days, but I don't know some difficult and complicated diseases yet, but simple ones I already know how to feel your pulse."

Luo Tingye didn't believe it. Even though he didn't know medical skills, he knew that if he wanted to learn medicine, he had to be prepared to endure hardship.

It takes several years to look, hear, inquire and learn. Each stage takes several years. Geniuses like Ouyang Zhen are rare.

Jiang Miao withdrew her hand and looked at his face carefully.

"I think there is nothing wrong with your pulse. When you sneeze, maybe something happened to someone you care about. I also sneezed just now. Could it be that the person you and I care about at the same time is my eldest brother?"

Luo Tingye froze. Counting the days, Jiang Qian should have arrived in Xuzhou.

Yuan Li should have gone too.

He is not worried about Jiang Qian, he is only worried that because of what happened before, those people will kill Yuan Li and involve Jiang Qian?

Jiang Miao waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Why don't you say anything? Could it be that something really happened to my eldest brother?"

Luo Tingye quickly took her hand, "What are you thinking about? I have prepared so many people for your brother, it can't be a decoration. Besides, your brother is so smart, so many officials have not taken down the case in Yangzhou before. , but your eldest brother only went a few times and captured them all, which shows how powerful your eldest brother is."

A sweet smile appeared on Jiang Miao's face, "My eldest brother is indeed powerful, but as the saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden one."

Luo Tingye was also worried about this. According to the intelligence collected by the Supervision Department, Xuzhou Governor Liu Bian was a cruel person but would not be caught.

Among the several court officials who went to Xuzhou before, one of them was poisoned to death by him, and another was hollowed out by him through a honey trap, and another was used by his family to accept bribes to intimidate...

He is a character who is very good at grasping people's hearts.

King Yuzhang was almost killed several times because of his contribution.

Looking at the many things he has done before, one of his principles is not to drag himself and the Liu family into trouble. Often, such people will have concerns and will not do anything desperate.

But adding Yuan Li is hard to say.

"If you are really worried, I will send someone to send them a message and ask them to be more careful."

Jiang Miao only said she was worried, but she still believed in her elder brother in her heart.

"Forget it, it's already so late, don't disturb my brother's rest."

Luo Tingye followed Jiang Miao's words and comforted her to sleep, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.

Simply get up and go back to the imperial study room to review the excerpts.

Feng Jizhong couldn't help but yawn.

Luo Tingye could see it.

Feng Jizhong shook his head and laughed dryly, "Your Majesty, it's so late, why don't you go to bed early."

Luo Tingye stopped reviewing the papers and leaned on his chair, pinching his brows.

Feng Jizhong came forward, bent down and asked, "What is troubling your majesty?"

"I'm just worried that Marquis Xuanwen's trip won't go so smoothly."

"Didn't His Majesty already know that this trip would not go smoothly? I have never seen His Majesty so worried before."

"I just thought about the conflict between Yuan Li and the Xuzhou officialdom. I'm afraid that the people in the Xuzhou officialdom will not let Yuan Li go, and will implicate Jiang Qian. If something happens, I really have no way to explain it to the queen. ah."
