female catcher

Chapter 201
The Hongwen Pavilion's papers were in the hands of Su Zhen who handed them in five days later. The newspapers were just some chores of compiling books, and the inscription was 'Hongwen Pavilion Master Li Tan Kneeling and Playing'.

Su Zhen's heart sank when he got the notebook.Wanjing is thirteen days away from Beijing, and the journey back to Jincheng will take seven or eight days. If he secretly investigates the affairs of Qingcheng County and writes a book report, there must be a very urgent problem, so the news will be sent back so quickly Beijing.

He raised the vermilion pen to approve it, and asked An Liang to send it back to Hongwen Pavilion.In the afternoon, he asked An Liang to help him change into casual clothes, and quietly left the palace from the Anli Gate in the north, and went to Shide Building.

On the way, Su Zhen sat in the car and couldn't help but want to sneer.Nowadays, most of the three provinces are dominated by veteran officials. After Wu Zonghuai's case, he restrained himself for a while, but now he has made an opening and he has become arrogant again.Now that I want to hear the truth, I have to go out of the palace in a subdued manner, like a secret worker.

It is true that Su Zhen was not born when this group of veteran officials became officials, and those who remained from the previous dynasty until now were all those who stood in the right place when they seized the throne. They are old and boast of meritorious service, but they take themselves too seriously .Bullying him when he was young?But a king is a king, and a minister is a minister. If he wants to stand firm in his position, he must let his ministers keep their sense of proportion.

This can't be suppressed anymore, it makes them empty themselves, if they want to take power again in the future, I'm afraid they can even do the abolition of the establishment.

Li Tan had been waiting in the Shide Building early on, when he saw Su Zhen coming in, he quickly got up and bowed, and respectfully called his son.Su Zhen's face darkened slightly, so An Liang stared outside the private room and sat down.

Li Tan handed over the letter from Jincheng to Su Zhen, the envelope was still sealed, Su Zhen took it and opened the letter, without raising his head, he asked, "Did you send any message?"

"Brother Chen said, what is said in the letter can only give you an overview, but it is inconvenient to check the details in Jiyue Villa."

Su Zhen looked at the letter, and his brows became tighter and tighter. After reading it for a while, he raised his hand and slapped the letter on the table. Although he didn't appear irritable, he was already furious from the look on his face.

Lin Yu's letter was not long, and only wrote about what he had seen in Qingcheng County.

The Huai River has receded, houses in the affected villages and counties have collapsed, and the corpses of people and livestock have been exposed everywhere and no one has buried them.All the food for disaster relief is put into the warehouse and guarded by the county government. There are less than [-] porridge sheds in the whole county, and the porridge and rice are scarce.The severely affected villages and towns have starved to death on the roads, and nine out of ten households have died. Those who wanted to flee to Lin County and Lin County were all suppressed.

The imperial court sent out millions of taels of relief money, and this was the result.Su Zhen knew that they would take advantage of it, but he didn't expect them to be so courageous, and even cover up the people fleeing from famine, blocking their way of speaking, and even dared to hand over a booklet to ask for credit.

In this private room in Shide Building, the air is as dense and oppressive as before a rainstorm.Although Li Tan didn't read the letter, he could guess about seven or eight points.The emperor asked Jiyue Villa to report the secret letter, and he had to hand it in by himself, which in itself already explained the problem.

He is in Hongwen Pavilion, although he is not a department with real power, but the recent situation in the court is always clear.Although Su Zhen gave way to the old minister again and again, he knew that the young emperor must have plans, but he didn't know whether this secret letter would make Su Zhen take action in advance.

After a while, Su Zhen's anger gradually calmed down. As if nothing happened, he carefully folded the letter and put it away, "You can't say too much in Hongwen Pavilion."

"I understand." Li Tan frowned, and solemnly agreed.Su Zhen didn't stay any longer, got up and left.

Su Zhen was very angry, but after all, he had to calm down again, because anger was useless.Before the time came, no matter how hard the punch was, it would only hit the stone wall, and if he couldn't move those powerful officials, he might hurt himself.Natural disasters and man-made disasters in Qingcheng County are catastrophes for the people of Qingcheng County, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for what Su Zhen wants to do.

It's not that he is sympathetic, and it's not that he doesn't feel distressed, but there is always a trade-off between the pros and cons.If you want to clear away the ailments, how can it be so easy to create the Qingming rule of the world.He had to hold his breath, and he had to endure it no matter how hard it was.

Su Zhen slowly opened his eyes in the carriage, took out the letter and looked at it, tapped on the wall of the carriage and called An Liang, "Where is Jiang Xiyuan at this time?"

An Liang looked at Tian'er, "Should have left the Imperial College by this time."

"Wait for him on the way back to Dunyifang."

"Young Master, what if Mr. Jiang returns to the General's Mansion?"

Su Zhen snorted softly, "His marriage has been pressed so hard recently, he won't go back easily." An Liang smiled silently, turned the car and headed towards Dunyifang.

Speaking of marriage, Su Zhen thought of the woman Jiang Xiyuan had mentioned to him again, and later he didn't bother to ask how the situation is now.But looking at the meaning, the Jiang family still doesn't know, that is to say, there is no result yet.

This guy has never been very good at this, and he may have gotten bored and left it behind.If it's not her not to marry, it's basically just listening to it.

Su Zhen rolled up the curtain of the car to let go of the suffocation in the car, and felt that the street scene was becoming more and more familiar. When he suddenly remembered that this place was approaching Anfengfang, he couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart, and then a deep feeling of sadness swept over him.

He asked An Liang to stop the car without thinking, and the car parked on the side of the road, but there was no movement for a long time.An Liang saw that Anfeng Square was not far ahead, and he roughly guessed what Su Zhen was thinking, so he said, "May the emperor go and have a look?"

have a look?Why didn't he want to go and have a look.But how would he appear in front of Xia Chu?He is no longer Mr. Huang, and to Yu Chu, he is nobody.

What are they going to say, are they going to let her ask who she is again, and let him say goodbye to her again in depression.Why bother to make you sad.

After a while of silence, the car curtain was lifted, and Su Zhen got out of the car, glanced at the direction of Anfengfang from a distance, and said to Anliang: "Go to Dunyifang first, if you see Jiang Xiyuan, take him with you." Come here and I'll walk around here."

An Liang hesitated a little, "Master, then you should be more careful." After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked, but he couldn't find where Min Feng was hiding.After Su Zhen left slowly, he sighed quietly and went to Dunyifang to wait for Jiang Xiyuan.

Jiang Xiyuan made an appointment with someone to go to the Flower Planting House at night, but he was free during the day. He went to the Imperial College for a long time, then slipped out in the afternoon, and took Xia Chu to the lotus pond to enjoy the lotus and relax.

This was originally an extremely ambiguous and elegant thing, but when Xia Chuyi came to the edge of the lotus pond, the first thing he said was: "Do you still remember, Fang Yi's former fiancée, Hong Yuerong, died in the lotus pond?" .”

She took out her fan and shook it, then half-closed it and pointed to the gazebo not far away, "I've read the file, it should be there."

Jiang Xiyuan sighed heavily, "Fortunately, you haven't been a headhunter for too long, otherwise Manxijing might be a murder scene in your eyes."

"Touch the scene to make love, touch the scene to make love." Xia Chu chuckled, "I don't know what happened to Fang Yi and Liu Rong later." There was a bit of embarrassment in her voice.That was the first case she took over after being a headhunter, how energetic she was back then!
"Fang Yi went back to his hometown with his father. Liu Rong... I don't know."

Xia Chu was silent for a while, "The two of you still have no fate." She glanced at Jiang Xiyuan, then turned and walked towards the gazebo.Jiang Xiyuan's heart was chilled by her glance, and he felt that the words of "no fate" seemed to be for himself.

He chased after him and walked beside Xia Chu, "Don't talk about Xijing, how many such cases can there be in the whole Jingguo? It's just luck."

"Those who are predestined but not related are all made by good fortune." Xia Chu said casually.After speaking, I looked around, and saw a man was pinching a lotus that had just opened, and turned around and handed it to a little maid, who pursed her lips and smiled, took it and walked quickly to a young man woman.The woman took the lotus and looked at the man who was still standing on the shore, she smiled shyly, her eyes met with affection.

"That's the norm in the world." Jiang Xiyuan said, fixed his eyes on the woman again, and said in a low voice, "When will you be able to change into women's clothing?"

"Wait until the hair grows." Xia Chu shrugged, "Maybe."

Jiang Xiyuan turned his head and looked at the hat on her head, "It's so long. Go to Dr. Liu another day and ask him if there is anything that can make hair grow faster."

Xia Chu smiled and said, "It's as if I'm thankful."

The two walked forward slowly again, and the lake surface sent bursts of cool water vapor with the breeze, carrying the fragrance of lotus, with a strong and spicy taste.There are light boats on the lake to share the load, leaving behind the broken whispers of the pipa all the way, and the willows supporting the wind, as if dancing with the music.The scenery that can only be found in midsummer is soft and sticky.

"What color do you like?" Jiang Xiyuan asked her.

Xia Chu thought about it seriously, but said: "Nothing special. Green? My surname is Xia." She smiled, "Why do you ask this?"

"Go back to Ruijin and prepare your clothes." Jiang Xiyuan leaned closer to her ear, and said softly, "No matter what, I have to be the first to see. Promise me."

The shallow voice was like a feather scraping over the ear, and Xia Chu shrank his neck from the itching, nodded sideways, and felt his face heat up.Then she fanned her face and said, "You're quite a big man, how coquettish you are. Hey, it's so disgusting..."

The two had a simple meal near the lotus pond. Jiang Xiyuan said that he still had things to do, so he sent Xia Chu home first.Xia Chu bluntly said no, but Jiang Xiyuan said, "Anyway, I'm going to the Flower Planting House, so I'll drop by."

Xia Chu snorted and smiled meaningfully at him.Jiang Xiyuan hurriedly said, "It's business."

"Of course, of course." Xia Chu nodded, "The Planting Flower House is the property of adults, so it's right to go there, not to mention there are business matters." After saying that, he turned around and went ahead.

Jiang Xiyuan shook his head with a smile, and followed.
