Chapter 464 Rescue, Take a Maid
Chapter 464 Rescue, Take a Maid
"Miss Ye, son, you are here." Lu Qingming greeted her with a smile on her delicate face, "Please come inside."

Ye Muxi looked at him, and said with a chuckle, "I heard that you have been working day and night for disaster relief recently. You have worked hard, but you should also pay attention to your body. These ten cars are all bedding, and I leave it to you."

"Miss Ye is going back to the capital?" Lu Qingming asked with concern.

Ye Muxi shook her head slightly, "Have a rest overnight, and I will go to Ningzhou with my son tomorrow. I heard that the water in Ningzhou has not receded yet, and my father is there, I miss you very much."

"Whatever is needed, I will arrange for people to prepare it." Lu Qingming said immediately.

Ye Muxi smiled and said, "All the arrangements have been made, so you should be busy with disaster relief and leave me alone. Qishuang, are you going back to the capital tomorrow?"

"No, my father won't let me go out when I go back, so why don't I stay in Kangzhou to help. In two days, Lingsha and Dongling will send the second batch of goods, and I just took someone to pick them up. You don't know that many things happened along the way." Xie Qishuang said.

Ye Muxi nodded, "Well, then Xiaobai and the others also stayed with you in Kangzhou to meet the Phoenix Palace. Something happened on the way?"

"Muxi, let me tell you, when we were on the road..." Xie Qishuang immediately recounted what happened a few days ago, "Fortunately, I met Mr. Lu, he was the first to be recruited, otherwise this batch of medicinal materials would all be planted in the water. It's over. First bedding and then medicinal materials, Hua Baoyu is endless!"

Ye Muxi thought for a moment, looked at Lu Qingming and said, "Before and after you arrived in Kangzhou, people from the Hua family also came to Kangzhou?"

"People from the Chenwang faction have been in Kangzhou for a long time..." Lu Qingming said, "It is possible that the people we met that day were not from the Hua family. Specifically, we are still investigating..."

Ye Muxi hummed, "If there is any suspicious candidate, you can discuss it with Qishuang. Qishuang knows who we offended in Beijing. Chaohuang Academy's forces are complicated, and it cannot be ruled out that it is someone else."

Lu Qingming and Xie Qishuang agreed in unison.

……

"The quilts are here! Come out and get the quilts, everyone!"

"Finally, I have a quilt, and I don't have to suffer from the cold anymore!"

The people rejoiced and lined up to receive the quilts.

Lu Qingming was relieved to see this, and told the officials, "There are still some people who are too sick to get up to receive soup and quilts. Look around, and don't let the people die of illness and freeze to death."

"Yes."

Lu Qingming was also walking around when he suddenly heard crying from a broken thatched hut nearby.

"I didn't expect you to be a woman. What kind of man are you pretending to be? You can't tell that your face looks pretty after washing..."

"That's right, I'll give you at least a mouthful of food if you're a master, so you don't have to starve every day..."

"Help! Someone! Don't!"

Lu Qingming kicked open the door of the thatched cottage and said angrily, "Stop!"

Seeing that they were the imperial envoys, the two local hooligans quickly knelt down with a plop, not daring to mess around.

Lu Qing patrols here every day, and the people are very familiar with him.

"My lord!" The woman with torn clothes rushed over as if seeing a life-saving straw as soon as she saw him.

Lu Qingming took off his cloak, put it on her bare shoulders, looked at the two hooligans and said, "They are all refugees from Ningzhou, and you did such a shameless thing. Come, give me these two Lock up things that are worse than animals!"

"My lord, spare me!" The two hooligans hurriedly begged for mercy.

But the official who heard the movement had already rushed over and took the two of them away.

"Thank you for saving my life, my lord!" Hu Xintong's face was pale, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak easily.

Lu Qingming said comfortingly, "You are a citizen under my authority, this is what I should do. No need to thank you, and you must not be alone, or your appearance, girl, will cause a lot of trouble."

At this time, the ashes from the pot bottom on Hu Xintong's face were washed away by the rain, revealing a delicate face.

"I... I have no family anymore..." Hu Xintong bit her lips tremblingly, "Please... please take me in as a maid. I can cook and write. Please, I can go to the back kitchen and write Write and do the math, I can do it!"

Lu Qingming was taken aback, all the peasant women were illiterate, but this woman was actually literate, and it seemed that she was from a family of poetry and books, probably because of the flood, the family was in trouble, it's a pity.

With her looks like this, she was one of the refugees in a thousand miles. Today, two thugs were beaten away.

Save people to the end.

"Then you go back with me. I was so dizzy with the disaster relief work recently, I just needed a document that could write and count. My original staff ran away after I was arrested, and the officials around me were all illiterate. I will calculate your wages according to the documents. How about taking care of food and housing?" Lu Qingming said.

Hu Xintong couldn't help being overjoyed, "Thank you, my lord. I... I just need to have a bite to eat with my lord, and there are no other requirements. My lord is willing to accept me as a maid, thank you very much."

"I think you have an extraordinary conversation. You must be a woman from the Poetry House. If you can find your family, I will send you back and let you reunite with your family." Lu Qingming smiled, "If you can't find it, first I'm here for now, whenever you want to leave, it's up to you."

Hu Xintong held onto Lu Qingming's sleeves tightly. She, a daughter of the Minister of Industry, served as a maid for him, a little magistrate, but she didn't feel wronged at all, on the contrary, she was very happy.

very nice.

……

"What? Hu Dawei handed over key evidence to Hu Xintong?" Hua Baoyu was incredulous.

Hua Mingkun nodded, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate arrested all of Hu Dawei's relatives, except for Hu Xintong. It is rumored that Hu Dawei once said something to Hu Xintong alone, just before the Yong'an Dam burst."

"This is troublesome. If Hu Dawei hadn't died, Hu Xintong still believed in His Highness. But now that Hu Dawei has been silenced, she and His Highness have revenge for killing her father. If she knows something, she will definitely not let it go!" Hua Baoyu's face darkened, He said decisively, "What about your Highness's order? Do you want us to hunt down and kill Hu Xintong immediately?"

Hua Mingkun nodded, "I've already sent someone to chase her down. Tell your ladies to pay attention, whoever has a good relationship with her, is it possible to know her whereabouts..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. We are all just acquaintances in the same camp, and there is really no one who can entrust Hu Xintong with life and death. The matter is important, and she is afraid that no one will dare to trust." Hua Baoyu frowned, "I will let the lady of the Phoenix Palace look around, hoping to find her."

……

It was night, Lu Qingming was flipping through a booklet at the desk, and Hu Xintong, who had already changed his clothes, was standing beside him, studying ink.

During the two days together, Hu Xintong knew that Lu Qingming was a good and honest official, and had a good personal relationship with Ye Muxi. If the evidence were given to him, would it be possible to prevent the Hu family from being implicated...

She didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, Lu Qingming covered Hu Xintong's mouth and said in a low voice, "Don't make any noise, something is wrong outside."

Hu Xintong listened with bated breath, only the crackling rain outside, nothing else.

"Come with me." Lu Qingming grabbed Hu Xintong's hand and sneaked out to the back door of the study.
