In the early morning, after making breakfast, Guan Yi walked to the inner room with a basin of warm water, brushed off the snow-green curtain, sat on the bed and looked at Li Chengchen in his sleep with his chin resting, and stretched out his fingers to touch his long eyelashes.

With his eyes closed, he accurately held her hand and placed it on his cheek, with a low and hoarse voice, "You are quite energetic."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Guan Yi blushed and pulled back his hand, "Director Li is getting more and more sleepy now, what about the old rules?"

Li Chengchen opened his dark phoenix eyes, looked at her lazily and affectionately, "Let Madam get used to it."

"Hurry up and have breakfast, the young master is probably hungry."

She opened the cabinet and helped him take out a plain robe, with silver-gray dark curly grass rolling around the edge, he gathered his middle coat and let her help him dress him, tie his hair, and the breeze came in through the window, The black hair brushed against the back of his hand, itchy and crispy, he stretched out his hand and brushed the shattered hair from her forehead to the back of her ear, and rubbed her eyebrows with his thumb a few times.

When the two went out, Xiao Jing was practicing swords in the yard. The third day of the junior high school lay on a bamboo chair and smashed a field of melon seeds. Li Chengchen stood under the corridor and looked at it for a while, then picked up a pomegranate branch and attacked Xiao Jing with a toe .

Xiao Jing only felt a gust of wind blowing in his ear, subconsciously dodged, the sword was like a willow branch caressing the falling flowers, his right palm was struck from behind obliquely, and hit his neck as fast as lightning, the shadows of the trees whirled, relying on martial arts practitioners The intuition with excellent hearing has passed no less than ten tricks, making people dazzled.

The pomegranate branch swayed gently, and her footwork and moves changed a lot. When she took a closer look, there were a few leaves on the ground. Xiao Jing lost his wrist, and the long sword fell straight down. Li Chengchen's flower branch was piercing his chest, and his toes Kicking the long sword, Xiao Jing quickly caught it with his backhand, took a step back and bowed to him, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

The third day of junior high school stretched out two fingers and gestured to himself, "Boss, why have you never taught me this trick?"

"Enlighten yourself."

"It's really biased."

Guan Yi pursed his lips and snickered, took a hot handkerchief and went to the courtyard to help Xiao Jing wipe off his sweat, "I steamed your favorite buttery rolls early in the morning, go and taste them quickly."

Last night on the first day of the new year, Fei Ge sent a message. Xiao Zhe and his party were in Chu County, which is not far from Li County. Because of Xiao Jing, they had stayed in Li County for four or five days. After breakfast, they packed up and rushed to Chu County. Join Xiao Zhe and others.

Chuxian County is located at the border between Minzhou and Chenzhou. Although it is not far from Lixian County, the detour of the Huaihe River makes the place dry all year round, the land is barren, and the people are struggling to survive.

When approaching Chu County, Xiao Jing opened the curtain of the car and watched the ragged and dying people's brows tightened, his fingers creaked and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to do anything in this position."

"Not to mention Chu County, but Li County. There were more than one famines like this when I was a child. I was so hungry that I couldn't bear to dig grass roots and bark to satisfy my hunger." Guan Yi sighed lightly. Food and clothing are really important for many ordinary people. It is a very extravagant thing. When you are desperate, you will sell your sons and daughters in exchange for a little rice.

"Grass roots? Bark?"

Facing Xiao Jing's unbelievable gaze, she nodded helplessly, "There is nothing wrong with living. Later, the grass roots were dug up and the bark was stripped clean, so I could only wait to die of hunger."

"Where's the rice for the imperial court's disaster relief?"

"Officials at all levels exploited layer by layer. There are not many people in the village, and we can't squeeze in the porridge from the county town."

"The imperial court is corrupt, and the officials are corrupt." After Xiao Jing said these eight words, Guan Yi looked at him in shock.

Xiao Jing said solemnly: "This is what my father said personally. Yanyue's bureaucratic system has rotted to the bone."

The carriage stopped next to an inn in the county seat, and when we got off the carriage, we saw pedestrians coming in twos and threes from the direction of the government office, and heard the whispers of the people, as if some serious case had been solved.

Chu Yi saluted Xiao Jing, bluntly saying that it was a commoner scholar who solved a serial murder case and exposed the crimes committed by the county magistrate of Chu County.

Guan Yi looked curiously at the man in the linen robe not far away, his eyes brightened for a long time, and he hurried over and pulled the man's sleeve and shouted: "Cousin!"

In the third grade of junior high school, he smiled at Li Chengchen and said: "Since ancient times, cousins ​​have had such an inexplicable fate."

The first day of junior high school looked at the third day of junior high school coldly and spit out two words, "Nonsense."

"Unfathomable wood."

The man turned around and looked at her suspiciously, "You know me?"

"Are you Qi Wuyuan?" Seeing him nodding his head, Guan Yi almost jumped up excitedly, "Then you are my cousin!"

"But it's true that I have never met the girl before."

Li Chengchen looked at her hand on the man's arm and frowned, then walked over slowly, "Lady."

She looked into his sharp eyes and then realized that she was a little too forgetful, and loosened the hand that was holding Qi Wuyuan's arm, "Sir, he...he is..."

"Cousin?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold light was fleeting.

"Jiang Li's cousin."

The third day of junior high school burst out laughing, "Ma'am, other people's cousin, why are you so happy, the boss thought you were cheating on me."

Jiang Lihui is kind-hearted, talented and beautiful, and her cousin with Dan Qingmiao's strokes is exactly the same as Qi Wuyuan. After a long time, listening to her babbling and repeating the story between her and Qi Wuyuan, I naturally got used to her cousin's calling.

A chance encounter in a foreign land is like a person who often listens to stories suddenly one day meets the real person in the story in this world, how can he not be excited?

"Jiang Li? Does the girl know Ruan Ruan?" Qi Wuyuan grabbed her by the shoulder and asked anxiously.

Li Chengchen's eyes flickered, before he saw how he was going to make a move, Qi Wuyuan grinned his teeth in pain while covering his wrist, Guan Yi raised his eyes and whispered: "Cheng Chen, he has no other intentions."

"Ma'am, if he had other intentions, those hands would have been useless long ago." The third year of junior high school added coolly.

As if thinking of something, she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to him, "Jiang Li gave me a letter written for you before leaving, and before someone can send it to you, I ran into you here by chance, what a coincidence. .”

Qi Wuyuan took the letter and put it in his arms carefully, and asked, "Is Ruan Ruan okay?"

"She has been waiting for you." Guan Yi added solemnly, "You must wait for her too."

"Please wait a moment, girl."

Seeing him walking quickly to the shop in front, she looked sideways at Li Chengchen and smiled, "Is he going to reward me for spreading the word?"

He hooked the tip of her nose and said dotingly: "Little money fan."

When Qi Wuyuan ran back, sweating profusely, he was holding a finely crafted leaf-veined dew hairpin, wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to Guan Yi, saying: "Please help me to hand it over to Ruan Ruan, and I will definitely wait for you." she."

"it is good."

Li Chengchen took it and handed it to the third grader next to him, "I'll keep it for you first."

On the third day of junior high school, he grinned without a smile, and on the first day of junior high school, he couldn't help shaking his eyebrows. From this point of view, it seems that the future is worrying for the wife.

"Could you be the scholar who broke the serial murder case?" Guan Yi had a rare moment of inspiration when he saw some passers-by looking sideways at them.

"I'm just trying to avenge the dead and do my best."

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "If everyone in the world is as Mr. thinks, the world will be safe."

Qi Wuyuan didn't know their true identities, thought about Jiang Li's entry into the palace as a palace maid, and met Guan Yi, and looked at Xiao Jing and others' manners, he guessed a little bit, bowed respectfully and left.

When he stepped into the inn, Xiao Zhe was discussing with a middle-aged man about building river dams and distributing porridge and grain.

There were several dishes and bowls of rice porridge on the table, Xiao Jing hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Father."

Xiao Zhe stopped talking and pushed a plate of green vegetables in front of him, "Taste it."

Xiao Jing didn't know, so she took a bite with bamboo chopsticks and chewed it a few times. It was bitter and astringent, and it was hard to swallow. Seeing Xiao Zhe's cold eyes, she frowned slightly and obediently pursed her lips and swallowed.

"Unappetizing?"

He nodded, "Father, this is..."

"Jing'er, you don't like the burning of teeth, and the bitter wild vegetables, but for the people here, they are delicious in the world. The people's livelihood is suffering, and the officials are extravagant."

Xiao Jing lowered her eyelashes, "What my father taught me is that my child is wrong. The way of people's livelihood is to eat people's salary, worry about people's worries, live in high halls to learn from the rise and fall of history, and look into the market to think about how difficult people's livelihood is."

The middle-aged man stood up respectfully and bowed to Xiao Jing, who also nodded in return, "Your Excellency is upright and honest, you have worked hard for the country and the people."

"Don't dare."

Xiao Zhe handed a drawing to Li Chengchen, "Chengchen, take a look."

Guan Yi glanced at it for a while, as if she didn't understand the topographic map, he made a circle with his finger and said, "My lord, you can add a sluice here and divide it into two rivers. The Huaihe River will be exhausted."

The middle-aged man was overjoyed: "Wonderful, wonderful."

"There is enough money in the Lianghuai Governor's Mansion"

"There is more than enough. When the construction of the embankments and rivers is completed, the remaining silver will fill the national treasury. The minister will record the flow of every money in detail and supervise it personally."

"Right now, the victims of the disaster are the top priority."

"Yes."

Xiao Jing looked at Chuyi and asked in a low voice, "Father took care of Lu Yang, governor of Lianghuai."

"Young master, embezzling disaster relief money, recruiting power and accepting bribes, beheading for public display."

At this time, only the neighing of the horse was heard, and a plainclothes guard hurried in from the door, knelt down and handed over a letter, Xiao Zhe opened it and looked at it, his expression changed greatly, "Go back to the palace immediately."

There are only five simple words on it, "Concubine Xi is seriously ill."
