female catcher

199 Calm
After the big wedding, Jiang Xiyuan's demotion and transfer order was officially issued, and the next day, the new Jing Zhao Yin Yao Zhiyuan took office.

Yao Zhiyuan is a man in his fifties, with his legal lines written all over his face, and his face is rigid and upright.Standing in the ranks of the arresting officers, Xia Chu listened to his lecture, and seeing the stranger put on the familiar official uniform, he couldn't get any more energy in his heart.

She is still the head catcher of the government office, after Yao Zhiyuan was appointed, he looked at her twice more, but he didn't know what the meaning in those eyes was.Maybe it was because Jiang Xiyuan took extra care of him, or maybe he was not satisfied with Jiang Xiyuan's care.But after all, this transition is relatively stable.

She didn't have much affection for Yao Zhiyuan, nor did she have any bad feelings, she was just not used to it.But fortunately, this person is not Feng Buyun and his ilk, maybe there will not be too much difference in values, so I can comfort myself.

The officials of various departments in the government office began a new round of flattery. Some people secretly regretted that they flattered Jiang Xiyuan too early. As a result, he moved his position after staying for a few months, and the worst thing was that he was still demoted.A lot of thought was wasted.

As a result, Xia Chu, whom Jiang Xiyuan once valued, became less and less sympathetic. Xia Chu didn't care about what he should do, but he always felt awkward, and he was far less interested than Jiang Xiyuan was when he was there.

Jiang Xiyuan went to the Imperial College to become a doctor, Si Taixue, the rest of the doctors and Jijiu are all old, and they somewhat disdain Jiang Xiyuan, and don't think he can afford this doctor.

There were also people who made a statement, lamenting the importance of Guozixue, and the danger of delaying the teaching to the court, wanting Su Zhen to get Jiang Xiyuan away as soon as possible.Su Zhen looked at it as if he didn't see it, praised the patriotism of the old scholars with a few words, and let it go.

The old scholars were monolithic, Jiang Xiyuan couldn't intervene among them, and he didn't intend to do so, and he mostly mingled with students when he had nothing to do on weekdays.The students were about the same age as him, and he was quite popular when they got to know him well, which made those old men dislike him even more.

The work of the Imperial College was idle, so Jiang Xiyuan went to Xia Chu almost every day, sometimes bringing some novel food, sometimes some street things, which were not expensive, but very interesting.From time to time, pearl flower hairpins and rouge powder are mixed in, which are very suggestive, but they are all shelved by Xia Chu.

When Jiang Xiyuan asked how her government office was, she always said it was okay, sometimes she talked about the case with him, and when she got excited, it seemed like it was time to investigate the case together again.She deliberately didn't ask about the emperor, nor did she want to ask about the affairs of the court, but in the government office, it was difficult to avoid these things being poured into her ears.

Just like she feels that she has nothing to do with state affairs, but in fact she cannot escape the influence of the situation in the DPRK and China.

The days slowly slipped to the end of May. Yao Zhiyuan took office from the judicial counselor requested by the Ministry of Officials. Zhong Fuming, the former judicial counselor of the Fengcheng Yamen, got this vacancy after some walking around. Although the rank has not changed, he is a Beijing official after all. .

The position of head catcher at the beginning of Xia remained unchanged, but Zhong Fuming added new catchers, his own staff.On the surface, it was okay, but Zhong Fuming, who was asked about the progress of the case, did not go through Xia Chu's hands. Soon, Xia Chu's position was vacated and he became the image spokesperson of the government office.

With her poking here, the common people feel that the government office is the blue sky.How many people wish for a life of idleness and earning money, but the reason why Xia Chu stayed here was not for the money.This is very depressing.

Yao Zhiyuan is Jing Zhaoyin, who is in charge of various affairs in Xijing and Gyeonggi County, but he is not Jiang Xiyuan after all, so he has no time to care about such trivial matters as arresting the head and the fast.Xia Chu himself also felt that he was not friendly enough to say something to him. It was Jiang Xiyuan's face that she could stay on as a head arrester, and she should not be too thick-skinned.

At the beginning of Xia Xia, he tried very hard to establish a good relationship with Zhong Fuming, and wanted to maintain the atmosphere and situation created by Jiang Xiyuan, but in the end he was defeated by Zhong Fuming's perfunctory smile.

At the beginning, the few police officers were very protective of Xia Chu, tough and xenophobic. As a result, they were so idle that they almost grew hairy. They were neither like Feng Buyun in the past who could receive some money to generate income, nor Jiang Xiyuan who could realize his self-worth when he was there.Slowly, he also accepted Zhong Fuming's arrangement.

Every day in early Xia, he straightened his clothes and went to work, holding his saber and sitting in the policeman's room, three pots of tea and then returning home at dusk, he felt ridiculous.

Finally, one day, after she saw Chang Qing take the money from the money manager of the casino and let go of the beating guard, she completely lost her mind.Chang Qing faltered with a red face, but Xia Chu didn't say anything, turned and left.So, in late June and early summer, I formally reported a long vacation to the government office and did not go.

"Have you figured it out?" Jiang Xiyuan asked.

It's not that he doesn't know Xia Chu's current situation. The veteran officials in the court are busy arranging their own people in various government offices. Places like Guozijian are full of undercurrents, let alone government offices.He wanted Xia Chu not to be disturbed by these disturbances and to ignore the entanglements in the temple, but she was not just an ordinary citizen after all, and it was hard to escape the influence of the general situation.

"Yeah." Chu Xia nodded gloomily, got up and went into the kitchen to bring out the boiled water and make tea.Now her tea is also good tea, and she even pays attention to the teacup.Jiang Xiyuan came here frequently, he had a bad taste, and he liked to be particular. He stuffed a bunch of good things in, and almost even changed the house for her.It's not enough until Xia Chu gets angry.

The tea soup was clear and green, and the mist was dense and fragrant. She held the teacup for a while and said in silence, "I originally wanted to resign, but Master Yao refused, saying that I have been doing well all the time and my reputation is good. If I resign suddenly , the higher-ups found out that it was difficult for him to explain, so they allowed me to take a long vacation." She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Xiyuan, "The higher-ups..., it seems that they are not talking about you, my lord."

Jiang Xiyuan picked up the tea and blew on it lightly, then said softly, "I don't know."

He entrusted Yao Zhiyuan, but he didn't know if Su Zhen had said anything to Yao Zhiyuan.Hearing what Xia Chu said, I couldn't help but feel a little heavy in my heart.

Su Zhen's feelings for early Xia are always a worry in his heart.The grape pendant was still on Su Zhen's wrist, every time he looked at it, he was terrified.

Recently, there have been a lot of affairs in the court, and the disaster situation in Huaishui has stabilized. A few meritorious ministers have been reported and waited for rewards. .

And he was not idle, he was secretly evaluating young student officials in the Imperial College, and quietly put them into various ministries, letting them keep track of their movements while practicing, just waiting for these old officials to be more proud. Close the net.In the future, apart from Shangshu Sheng and those veteran officials who emptied Su Zhen's imperial power from the Six Departments, I am not afraid that there will be no one available.

Su Zhen had a good plan and was able to hold his breath.He was busy sharing Su Zhen's worries, but he was also afraid that Su Zhen would be idle, and that the emperor would think of Xia Chu when he had time, and think about something.

Yongwei has been in the palace for a month, and there has been no news of any disagreement between the emperor and the empress. The letter to her family also said that the emperor treated her very well and treated her very well, but he could still sense something wrong.The letter is written too well, that's not Yongwei's temperament, and it's hard to say it clearly.

And what is the root cause of that worry, maybe Yongwei still doesn't know him yet.

It's only been a month since he expressed his thoughts. Apart from gradually getting used to his grotesqueness, Xia Chu has not changed significantly from before. Zhen's feelings have not really let go.

Taking a step back, even if Xia Chu accepted him, in the current situation, he would not be able to act easily.Because he had never encountered such a thing during his friendship with Su Zhen, he couldn't predict his reaction at all, let alone the consequences.But he couldn't be more clear that Su Zhen's gentleness was just an appearance.

The days seem to be calm, but Jiang Xiyuan has a faint feeling that everything is far from over, or that it has not come yet.Regardless of state affairs or personal affairs.

"Let's ask for leave, that's fine." Jiang Xiyuan withdrew his thoughts, took a sip of tea and put down the cup, raised his eyes and smiled at her, "What's next? What are you going to do?"

Xia Chu shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet."

Jiang Xiyuan pointed at himself, bent his lips and leaned forward with a smile, "I really didn't think about it? Think about it again?"

Xia Chu lowered his head but didn't see it, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and sighed softly again: "I have saved some money in my hand, and I can go around when the weather is warm and good. After so long, I I’ve only been to Guanyang City once.”

Jiang Xiyuan smiled and said: "Alright. In a few days, when the affairs in the court are stable, I will go with you."

"Things in the court are stable?" Xia Chu raised his eyebrows and raised his head, "Since I took the post of head arrester, when has the affairs in the court been stable?"

"That is to say, if it's really stable, you're still willing to go with me." Jiang Xiyuan smiled cunningly, and nodded, "I guess I didn't misunderstand."

Xia Chu smiled helplessly, and glanced at him, "What do you want to understand, my lord? Come to think of it, there is no harm to me with someone who is particular and wealthy. Is it?" She saw Jiang Xiyuanyang She raised her eyebrows, and said again: "Of course, that's what I said. I haven't decided whether to go out or not."

"I won't even give you a sweet date." He smiled, looked up at the dense grape leaves above his head, smiled slightly and said slowly: "If I leave Beijing, I don't think I need to come back."

Xia Chu blinked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Xiyuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "When this wave of things is over, I would like to ask the emperor to be an official outside, and it would be good to be a sheriff in another city. The sky is high..." He paused, glanced at Xia Chu, "It's also comfortable."

Of course Xia Chu knew what the half-sentence he had hidden was, and also knew his worry.He lowered his head and took a sip of tea quietly, "Doesn't your lord dislike leaving Beijing?"

"One moment and another moment." Jiang Xiyuan said openly and honestly: "Whether it is thinking for Yongwei or for myself, it is inevitable to have selfishness. After all, I also have times to be afraid." He paused, and tentatively said: "If I am outside Let me be an official, would you like to go with me?"

Xia Chu felt a little tense in his heart, lowered his head and said nothing, wondering what answer he should give him.

There was nothing she could not let go of in Xijing, except for the one in the palace who was a little sad when she heard some news by accident, it should be considered as the past.only……

She didn't know what future she and Jiang Xiyuan could have.Even if she accepted Jiang Xiyuan, would she be able to enter the Jiang family's door?Leaving aside what the emperor would think, can a noble family like the Jiang family allow it?
She had never asked Jiang Xiyuan this question, and she felt that it was too early to ask these questions before she made up her mind.She originally planned to do a good job in headhunting for a few more years, and it is unknown what the situation will be.Jiang Xiyuan was such a flirtatious young man, maybe he was already tired of him by then.

There is nothing better than leaving things to time.

But she didn't expect her career as a headhunter to end so quickly, and the questions she wanted to think about in a few years hurriedly came before her eyes, which made her very at a loss.

"Let me think about it..." Xia Chu said, glanced at Jiang Xiyuan quietly and then lowered his head, "Anyway, I'm still a man now, so you don't have to worry too much."
