Unique and stunning, the black-bellied daughter-in-law controls the world

Chapter 373
After nightfall, the four rested at the Pingshan County Inn.

The next day.

As soon as the morning came, Li Yunqing climbed out of bed early in the summer.

She has the habit of recognizing her bed, so she can't sleep soundly in other places, so she can only get up early.

Besides, there are many things not done today.

After quickly getting dressed, Ruxi walked in with a person carrying hot water. She washed her face and walked out the door.

Pushing open the door, the cool summer morning breeze swept in, causing Li Yunqing to narrow her eyes slightly.

Nangong Xun was nowhere to be found, only Cao Ba dutifully stood by the door.

"That guy Nangong Xun probably went down to find something to eat." Ruxi complained in disgust.

That starving ghost went to the city early in the morning to buy specialties for food. He said that they had never been here before, and he had to buy them and taste them to be worthy of his own mouth. This trip was worthwhile.

The three of Li Yunqing went downstairs and saw many guests having breakfast on the first floor.

Most of them are disaster victims. After all, Li Yunqing booked all the eating places in Pingshan County yesterday for free for the victims.

It is hoped that before the house is rebuilt, they will have enough food and clothing to keep them from living on the streets.

They had just gone down the stairs when they saw Nangong Xun walking in with a bunch of special products in his arms, laughing idiotically all the way, making passers-by think he was a fool.

Ruxi held his forehead speechlessly, really wanted to slap this guy.

Li Yunqing chose a corner seat by the window to sit down, and Nangong Xun came over, with a bang, put a big bag of food on the table, and said triumphantly: "Did you see, these are all I have traveled all over Pingshan County, and you have never eaten the special products I bought, have you?"

"Say it as if you've eaten it before." Ruxi glanced at him lukewarmly, without any appreciation.

Nangong Xun was splashed with cold water instantly, and his shoulders collapsed.

The four of them sat down and looked through what Nangong Xun had bought.

Mainly some specialty pastries and snacks, a few cups of soy milk, and some fruits.

It is said that it is a special product, and it may not be seen in other places, but how can it not be seen in a place like the imperial capital?

The imperial capital is rushing every day to send delicacies from all over the country. You can basically eat specialties from all over the country, but the difference between fresh and stale.

But Li Yunqing was not picky, took two pieces of pastries and ate them, and drank some water, she was full.

For the next time, she kept her indifferent eyes on the street, watching the people coming and going, planning in her mind what to do later.

As for Ruxi and Cao Ba, they are all normal, except——

Nangong Xun, who devoured hungrily, was not hungry at first, and he ate too much delicious food from the Emperor's Mansion, so he didn't feel how delicious these specialties were.

It was all because of the resentment in his heart that he ate so much!

He had never gotten up so early before, ran over a dozen streets, bought special products, and Xiao Ruxi still disliked them, woo woo woo!

His whole heart was ruined like this...

With anger and resentment in every bite, he bit down viciously, vowing to eat all his grievances back!

The other three defaulted to ignoring the funny comparison, and finished their breakfast on their own.

Li Yunqing supported her head with one hand, her clear eyes were shining and penetrating, she looked at the crowd coming and going, but her mind was full of emotions.

The army that transported the gunpowder had already returned to the northwest region at this moment, and it was already too late if they wanted to do anything to them.

Besides, there are so many soldiers, it is impossible for her to check them one by one.

Even if other people were mixed in, there is no evidence now...

In the end how to check it.

When Li Yunqing was lost in thought, a handsome woman in royal blue official uniform - Mu Tongyu walked in at the door of the inn.

As soon as Mu Tongyu came in, it immediately caused a heat wave, and countless people cast warm and grateful eyes.

Because they know that yesterday was this woman who ran around with money and begged for food and clothing for them.

So now, she is a living bodhisattva in their eyes!
But after all, they are also officials, they can't be too rude, they can only look at her from a distance, and shower her with grateful eyes.

Mu Tongyu instantly felt that Alexander, this credit was not hers at all, and she deserved it!

Originally, she planned to go out with her face covered, but she is a majestic governor, if she goes out with her face covered, what will others think of her?
Therefore, Mu Tongyu had no choice but to bear this pressure, secretly walked into the inn, took a cursory glance, and saw Li Yunqing in the corner.

Suddenly happy——

She didn't ask Mr. Yushi which inn he lived in yesterday, but today she wanted to find him, so she had to look for them one by one. She didn't expect to find the right one at the first one. Her luck was good!
Today must be her lucky day!

Mu Tongyu walked over quickly, just as the four of them had just finished their breakfast, she said happily: "It turns out that you are really here!"

After finishing speaking, she found that the other four people did not have happy expressions, and were even a little dignified.

Nangong Xun was still heartless, burping while stroking his swollen stomach.

But Ruxi and Cao Ba both had a cold brow, and looked out of the window and at the entrance of the inn vigilantly without understanding their expressions.

Li Yunqing looked at her directly, those clear eyes that pierced people's hearts, sparkling like water, but also as sharp as a blade, with a dazzling brilliance.

Mu Tongyu's smile froze, she realized something was wrong instantly, she stood there awkwardly, clenched her fingers slightly.

Looking at the expressions of the two "bodyguards", she could guess that someone might be following her.

If that's the case, wouldn't she cause trouble to the adults?

You must know that the adults came here in disguise, and they definitely didn't want to reveal their identity.

Presumably, the people in the dark, seeing her dignified governor, had such close contacts with the four commoners, became suspicious.

And at this time, what should she do?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Mu Tongyu's mind, and she pretended to say loudly: "Well, I heard from you yesterday that your relatives live in the north of the city, right? Have you found them? We are all fellow villagers, so don't be polite to me. !"

The four people in front of them were silent for three seconds.

Nangong Xun slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! I found it, I found it, it's alright, and I'm going to trouble you to make a trip, Xiaomin really deserves it! My lord, sit down!"

"Okay, okay." Mu Tongyu smiled happily, not fake at all, not awkward, and sat down directly.

Their actions caught the attention of the guests around them, but they took a quick glance and then retracted them.

They thought it was quite normal, the governor must be a good person if he could do such a good thing to help the victims, and since that was the case, it was not unreasonable for her to care about a fellow villager so much.

The people who followed Mu Tongyu in the dark looked at each other and left quietly.

Ruxi looked at Nangong Xun in astonishment, and praised: "Not bad, you boy, you have a strong ability to adapt."

"That's right, you think I've eaten so much for nothing?" Nangong Xun looked smug and beaming.

Li Yunqing put down the teacup gently, groped the cup wall with her white fingers, she looked indifferent, and said in a low voice: "Why would someone follow you?"

Hearing this, Mu Tongyu's face darkened: "Actually, someone has been following me since yesterday. I thought it was gone today, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, there were a few more skilled ones, but she never noticed it.

"Is there no one to protect you, sir? It's very dangerous." Nangong Xun asked lazily, leaning his hands on the back of the chair.

"Me." Mu Tongyu rubbed her nose and smiled softly, "I'm just a governor, and I don't have any enemies."

"That's wrong, the governor is the most offending official position." Ruxi persuaded, "Your Excellency, you should bring a few followers with you when you go out."

Otherwise, today is just stalking, tomorrow is assassination?
What's more, for a supervisory position like the governor, if he wants to be upright and enforce the law impartially, he will offend many people.

Those people will regard her as a thorn in their side and wish to get rid of it quickly!
Mu Tongyu thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, I will pay attention."

Judging from today's follow-up, she needs someone to protect her.

"By the way." Mu Tongyu continued, "Master Shangshu from the Ministry of Household Affairs came here in person this morning. They are all in the county government office at the moment, and they are discussing something with the county governor, and they didn't go to the north of the city."

She suspected that most of the people who followed her yesterday afternoon were people from the yamen.

This morning, it was the shadow guards sent by the two Shangshu lords. They were so skilled that she didn't even notice it.

They wanted to know how she, a poor governor who had just taken office for a few days, got the 20 taels of silver.

Now the treasury appropriation is in the hands of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. Except for the appropriation of the Ministry of Industry for the reconstruction of private houses, there is nowhere to spend the silver taels from the Ministry of Households. I don’t know if they will obediently return it to the court.

If not, then she has more work to do.

Li Yunqing narrowed her eyes slightly, the eyes were full of treacherous glints, bottomless.

The gunpowder explosion in Pingshan County is big or small, and generally speaking, it will not alarm a minister.

Usually only the servant will be sent to check and arrange matters.

Of course, those adults who like to do everything by themselves are not excluded.

But when it comes to the two ministers of the Ministry of Household and Industry, they are definitely not such people, so what do they want to come here in person?
Is it really for the appropriation of the court?

Thinking of this, Li Yunqing asked Cao Ba: "How much silver has been allocated by the treasury?"

"10 taels for the household department and 30 taels for the industry department." Cao Ba thought for a while and replied in a low voice.

This was the news sent by the shadow of the imperial capital in a hurry last night, and Li Yunqing hadn't been told yet.

"30?" Mu Tongyu repeated the figure in surprise, "Although there are many ruins in the north of the city, it can't cost so much, right?"

How much did the Ministry of Industry report?That's why so many taels of silver were allocated.

We must know that the current Daqin treasury is not rich... Most of it falls into the pockets of various families.

One Lin family collapsed, and three more ministers were added to make the national treasury full again.
