female catcher

Chapter 179
When Xia Chu left the gate of the government office, the soldiers of the Jiang family had already withdrawn, but there was still no one on the street.Looking at the mess all over the street, she felt a heavy sourness in her heart.

When someone saw Xia Chu, they pursed their mouths and whispered to others, their eyes glanced over from time to time, with contempt in their peeping, that slight laughter hurt Xia Chu's eardrums.She could guess what they were talking about, the shouting had died down in the street, but it remained in her heart.

She was a little timid standing at the door, wishing she could just hide in the government office and slowly spoil herself, and she didn't want to live in such gazes and whispers in the future, she didn't have such a good mental capacity.

Slowing his feet, he lowered his head again. After taking a deep breath, Xia Chuli hurried into the alley next to him and made a detour to go home.

At the foot of the emperor of Xijing, hundreds of people surrounded the mansion, and Jiang Xiyuan privately brought soldiers from the general's mansion to the streets. This was definitely an explosive event.Something good happened to the officials, who couldn't bear it, and without waiting for Jiang Xiyuan's prelude, they tried to find a way to bring the matter to Su Zhen.

At that time, Su Zhen was discussing countermeasures with the Ministry of Industry and Household Department for the Huai River flood in Qingcheng County.Qingcheng County's report was changed from three hundred miles to six hundred miles, and the situation was much more detailed than last time.

The report eagerly stated that since the beginning of summer, the rain in Qingcheng and several surrounding counties has been abundant, and the county guards have reinforced the embankment to prevent the disaster. In three days, the embankment was washed down.The branch of the Huai River was flooded and overflowed, and the flood almost covered the entire Qingcheng County, and the downstream counties were also affected.

In Qingcheng County alone, hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land were flooded, houses were destroyed, and people and livestock were killed or injured.The Yamen of Qingcheng County has opened granaries to release grain and resettle the victims, but the granaries are limited, so the imperial court is asked to raise food for disaster relief as soon as possible.

Su Zhen's brows were furrowed, the officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs were all in the imperial study, their brows were all sweaty, they talked to each other, some offered ideas, some complained.

An Liang was startled when he heard about the government office outside the imperial study room, and then he heard the chatter in the imperial study room, shaking his hands anxiously.Grinding around for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and pushed the door in.He walked up to Su Zhen, bowed and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."

"Say." Su Zhen didn't even look at him, and his tone was a little impatient.

An Liang shrank his neck, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, just now some fans of Yue Xiaohong surrounded the government office because of the murder case, but they have already been dispersed."

"Understood." Su Zhen frowned and waved his hand, picked up the tea next to him and took a sip.Before he swallowed the water, he suddenly reacted, and turned his head to look at An Liang in shock, "What did you say?"

"The servant said..."

Su Zhen didn't wait for him to finish, he stood up and walked to the next room, leaving a group of officials looking at each other, not knowing what happened.An Liang hurriedly followed Su Zhen in, and as soon as he entered the door, Su Zhen whispered: "Be clear!"

"The slave also doesn't know the details. It's just that someone sent the official document. I heard from those little Huangmen. The original words were that there was a mistake in Yue Xiaohong's case in the government office, which caused public resentment. Mr. Jiang couldn't suppress it. The government then mobilized its own soldiers," An Liang said.

"Are there any casualties? How is Xia Chu?" Su Zhen blurted out.

"Back to the emperor, I haven't heard of the casualties, and I don't even know what kind of slave Mr. Xia is." An Liang thought for a while after speaking, and said cautiously: "The slave feels... Mr. Jiang is not such a person."

Su Zhen sneered.

Of course he knew that Jiang Xiyuan was not that kind of person. The words that came in were simple, but every word was aimed at the Jiang family.It's just that he didn't understand, Jiang Xiyuan is a person who knows his own interests very well, so how could he move his own soldiers so impetuously?

What worried him even more was the beginning of Xia.If the incident was about Yue Xiaohong's murder, then the most directly questioned must be the captor Xia Chu.Hundreds of people surrounded the government office, wondering how she is doing now?Did you get hurt?Have you been questioned by Jiang Xiyuan?How are you feeling?

Su Zhen felt out of reach in the deep palace, and when he thought about it for a while, his heart felt as if it was fried. He wanted to take a look at her from a distance, and see how she was doing.He subconsciously touched the pendant in his hand and held it in his hand, "Change clothes, leave the palace!"

"Your Majesty!" An Liang took a step forward, knelt down with a bang, and said in panic, "Your Majesty, think twice."

When Su Zhen was called by An Liang, his footsteps suddenly stopped at the door.The door of the room was open, and a long stretch of gold bricks stretched out from under the feet. In the imperial study, a group of officials were whispering about the Huai River with scorched faces.

Yes, he was confused, how could he leave?Thousands of miles away, there is devastation, where thousands of people are displaced, eagerly looking forward to the appeasement of the court, looking forward to a morsel of food to save their lives.

Early Xia is a treasure in his heart, but no matter how much he cares about it, for an emperor, it is still too insignificant compared to the survival of thousands of Li people.

Su Zhen closed his eyes, "Let Min Feng go and see the situation, and find out the reason and what happened." He said slowly in a deep voice: "Also, see if there is anything wrong at the beginning of Xia, and report to me when you come back, no matter how much Night."

He walked back slowly, and sat behind the Long Shu table again, and the voice of discussion resumed.An Liang walked out lightly, looked back at Su Zhen behind the Long Shuan at the door of the study, and couldn't help sighing secretly and shaking his head.

Why did the emperor have other thoughts about Chu Xia?He didn't know that there was no point in looking for reasons or judging right and wrong, that was the way it was.With the status of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he can neither say nor do anything. He can't love if he wants to love, and he can't see him if he wants to see him. Even caring seems to be separated by thousands of obstacles.

Why is his emperor so pitiful?

Seeing Min Feng, An Liang still looked sad and sighed, "It's not easy to be an upright eunuch. I know that the emperor has a sense of propriety, but I still can't bear to stop the emperor. Master Min, can you understand? "

Min Feng nodded in understanding.

"On weekdays, I go out when I am free. If the emperor just left during the discussion, someone with sharp eyes and ears will definitely show up. If something else happens, it will be really hard to deal with. Yes. Master Min, can you understand?"

Min Feng continued to nod.

An Liang sighed, "I just want to express my feelings. If I don't tell you, I don't have anyone else to talk to. Master Min, then I'll trouble you to make a trip. You can ask more details."

"Understood. Go serve the imperial court."

Min Feng disappeared in the blink of an eye.An Liang hugged Fuchen and folded his hands, squinting at the west-slanting sun.This day goes by really fast, and this day goes by really slowly, when will the emperor get through it?Is it all right after the wedding?I hope that Mr. Xia will not make any troubles again.

Jiang Xiyuan was escorted back to the General's Mansion by his grandfather Jiang Zhutang, and when he entered the hall, Jiang Min kicked Jiang Xiyuan to the ground, "You bastard! Pay it back!"

Mrs. Jiang felt sorry for her son, but what Jiang Xiyuan did was really inappropriate, and she couldn't protect her, so she just pulled Jiang Min to let him calm down, let him listen to what Jiang Xiyuan had to say, maybe there was something he had to do.

"I have no choice!" Jiang Min yelled until the beams of the house were about to fall to dust, "This bastard thinks our Jiang family's life is too long!" Angrily, he searched for things all over the room, but he couldn't find them. , raised his foot and wanted to take off his shoes, but was stopped by Mrs. Jiang quickly.

Jiang Xiyuan bowed his head and knelt in the hall, in front of him was Jiang Zhutang stomping on his crutches, and behind him was Jiang Min's yelling like a bell.

"Grandfather, father, I know my mistake." Jiang Xiyuan said.

"You know what a fart!" Jiang Min shouted, "Yong Wei is going to enter the palace, do you know! How many pairs of eyes are staring at our Jiang family, do you know!"

"The son knows that the son will go to the imperial court to make a statement tomorrow morning. If the emperor asks questions, the son will bear it all."

"You bear the fart!"

Mrs. Jiang couldn't take it any longer, she took Jiang Min's arm, "Master, don't be such an idiot, listen to Yuaner's words clearly."

Jiang Zhutang coughed, and the room fell silent.His face was as heavy as water, and he took a deep breath slowly. When he spoke, his voice was louder than Jiang Min's, "He is a fart! This is the good son you taught! Huh?!"

When Jiang Min and Mrs. Jiang heard this, they quickly knelt down too.Before Jiang Zhutang could finish his sentence, he raised his crutch and pointed it at Jiang Xiyuan, and swung it towards Jiang Xiyuan. There was no effort to go down with the stick, and Mrs. Jiang was crying at that time.

Jiang Zhutang was born in martial arts, although he is old, but his foundation is there, these few blows are really not light.Jiang Xiyuan didn't even have the intention of hiding, and kept leaning against each other without making a sound.

Jiang Zhutang took back his crutches and looked at him for a few times, then he calmed down a bit, and said in a slow tone: "Tell me, what's the big deal that made you dare to snatch my warrant and send the soldiers there."

Among Jiang Zhutang's grandchildren, Jiang Xiyuan is his favorite.Jiang Xiyuan has been smart since he was a child, and he is good looking, and he is sweet-talking and will make troubles, and he is always coaxed to be happy.

But the more I like it, the more I am afraid that he will be useless.Jiang Zhutang didn't care how big Jiang Xiyuan was, he was afraid that he would grow up to be a dude, not like a man.

If Jiang Xiyuan yelled, ran all over the room begging for mercy, or still coaxed him with those crutches just now, then he would be too disappointed. Regardless of whether the grandson is wanted, let Jiang Min send him away as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble in Beijing.

Since Jiang Xiyuan carried it without saying a word, it proves that this child still knows right from wrong and serious from wrong, so he is quite responsible.Things are wrong, but at least the attitude is right.

Jiang Xiyuan responded to Jiang Zhutang's words and said: "The mansion is surrounded by people. I am afraid that things will get out of hand, so I dispatched the guards in the mansion to maintain order in a hurry. Before leaving, I ordered all the guards to disarm and have no soldiers. The blade is just borrowing people, not sending troops."

Jiang Zhutang slammed his cane, "Is this what you want to prevaricate?! Out of control? Even if it is out of control, the imperial army will come forward! Why shut up the fucking Jiang family!"
