Will succeed

Two days later, although the people in Yanyang got a lot of food and clothing, there was still no cure for the disaster. The rain did not fall for a long time, and the people had no way to grow food by themselves.

The unscrupulous merchants in the city have no good solution. After all, they are the people of the later Tang Dynasty. It is not good to directly take their lives without evidence of crime. They can only let them continue to live freely.

At that time, Li Jue was discussing with Xie Zhui how to deal with those merchants, so that they can spit out some money and food, so that the people can last for a while.

While frowning, a guard came to report: "His Royal Highness, there is a person outside the door, saying that there is a way to solve His Highness' urgent needs."

Li Jue frowned: "Can I ask who it is?"

"The person who came was a woman. She only said her name was Ying Que, and said that His Highness knew her name just by hearing her name."

"Your Highness, who is Yingque?" Li Jue didn't tell Xie Zhui about the specific things that day, and it was inevitable that he didn't know.

Hearing this name, Li Jue subconsciously felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't explain the reason.At the same time, he was also puzzled, he obviously drove Yingque out of the government office and ordered her to leave Yanyang, but he didn't want her to come to him again.What is this woman's intention?

Without answering Xie Zhui's words, Li Jue just asked the guards to bring Ying Que in. He wanted to see what kind of tricks this person who was hidden in the magistrate's golden house was up to!

Yingque entered the room, Shi Shiran saluted, and smiled at Li Jue, full of charm: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Miss Ying Que please, I don't know what is the matter of the girl coming today?"

"Of course it's for the prince."

"for me?"

"Exactly."

Ignoring Xie Zhui's darkened face due to the conversation between the two, Li Jue smiled casually: "As far as I know, the girl has something to do with the magistrate, but the girl said that she was kidnapped by the magistrate, so she stayed in the magistrate as a last resort. Ya, I trusted the girl and let you live. But what is the truth, I believe the girl knows better than anyone else, if the girl comes this time, you are not afraid that I will put you in prison?"

Yingque looked at Li Jue calmly, his eyes were so clear, Li Jue couldn't help admiring his good eyes!

"Everything I said to His Highness the Crown Prince is true, so there is no falsehood! As for this time, I believe His Highness will not arrest me. After all, I have a way to deal with those profiteers, and I also have a way to solve the drought."

"Are you serious?" It was Xie Zhui who spoke. When he said that Ying Que could solve the drought, he no longer cared about whether Ying Que was suspected. In his heart, the people were more important than anything else.

Faced with Xie Zhui's questioning, Ying Que's face did not change, but became calmer. Xie Zhui's reaction undoubtedly gave her a super effective reassurance.

Ying Que changed from her previous coquettish attitude, and now she was even more coquettish: "Master Xie's words hurt my heart, even if I gave my ten courage, I wouldn't dare to joke about it!"

Xie Zhui was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Li Jue, but found that the excitement on Li Jue's face was not as he imagined, and he couldn't help feeling very puzzled: "Now that things have turned around, why doesn't His Highness respond?"

Li Jue smiled, still as gentle as jade: "Master Xie, how did you know that what this girl Yingque said must be true?"

Like a blow to the head, Xie Zhui suddenly woke up from joy, how could he trust this unknown woman?Xie Zhui didn't know the reason.

However, Li Jue knew him better than himself. According to his nature of serving the people wholeheartedly, under such circumstances, it would be strange if he didn't believe someone who could save the people from fire and water!

Li Jue didn't blame Xie Zhui for being too careless, this kind of Xie Zhui was what Li Jue wanted, with a simple mind and easier to control.

Faced with Li Jue's distrust, Ying Que did not show any dissatisfaction, and only took out one thing and handed it to Li Jue: "This is an account book, and His Highness will definitely be interested in the things recorded in it. After reading it, Your Highness will trust my concubine."

Li Jue took it and opened it, and just took a look, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Jue's eyes calmly, although it was very fast, it was still caught by Ying Que, and he was secretly proud.

After handing the account book to Xie Zhui, Li Jue lost the look of talking and laughing with Yan Yan just now, and looked a little suspicious. "How did the girl have this thing?"

Ying Que smiled, and the charm returned to her face: "Did your Highness forget? I once stayed in the government office for a while!"

Li Jue wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Xie Zhui's excited voice: "Your Highness! With this, those profiteers can be brought to justice!"

Seeing Xie Zhui's appearance, Li Jue knew that he was not going to ask about the origin of things. For him, as long as it was useful, no matter how it came from, it was right to use it!

Li Jue talked to Xie Zhui several times about this matter, but Xie Zhui couldn't get rid of this bad habit.If someone set up a trap, Xie Zhui would have no choice but to sneak in obediently.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing Li Jue's coughing and thanking him for chasing, he realized that he couldn't help being embarrassed for a while, wondering why he couldn't get rid of his bad habits!

With Li Jue's reminder, Xie Zhui put down the roster and looked at Ying Que. The enthusiasm just now was gone in his eyes, and suspicion gradually stained his eyes. "Even if the girl has lived in the government office for a period of time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get such a secret thing?"

"I believe you don't want to know the specific process, and I don't want to publicize it everywhere." A look of unnaturalness flashed across Yingque's face, and Li Jue understood Yingque's meaning at a glance.

But Xie Chau didn't understand, so he insisted on asking: "This is the fault of the girl. You provided us with this thing, and you didn't explain the reason for it. How do we know if it is real?"

"Thank you for chasing."

"Ah?" Xie Zhui, who was named, looked at Li Jue in a daze, wondering if it wasn't you who asked me to find out the truth of the matter?Now I ask you to interrupt me again, what do you mean!

No matter how confused Xie Zhui was, Li Jue didn't intend to explain it to him, but secretly thought that Xie Zhui's mind was too dull, and he didn't know how he got this seat in the first place.

Li Jue stared at Ying Que, but what he said was to Xie Zhui: "I leave this matter to you, and the roster is taken away, you go down first."

After listening to Li Jue's order, Xie Zhui was confused and said hesitantly, "But, Your Highness..."

However, before he finished speaking, Li Jue interrupted: "Don't ask, I will explain to you after the matter is settled."

After Li Jue said that, Xie Zhui couldn't say anything more, so he bowed and withdrew, leaving only a stomach full of questions, waiting for Li Jue to answer.

After Xie Zhui left, Li Jue smiled apologetically at Ying Que: "Xie Zhui is straightforward, please don't be offended by Miss Ying Que."

"No, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for covering up for me. It's really inappropriate to talk about such scandals."

"It's good that the girl understands."

After saying this, Li Jue didn't intend to continue to ask Yingque how to cure the drought, so he just sat there quietly, waiting for Yingque to open his mouth.

However, Ying Que is also a patient person. If Li Jue doesn't open his mouth, she doesn't speak. For a moment, the situation is extremely embarrassing.

Now say thank you for chasing here.After leaving from Li Jue, Xie Zhui wrote three letters to the three people who appeared on the roster but didn't make the donation last time.

The letter stated the amount of money they each sent, and there was an appointment for the three of them to have a dinner in the evening.He didn't believe it this time. Would those profiteers be worried when they saw these data?

Smiling resolutely, Xie Zhui went back to the study, wanting to ask Li Jue for clarification.

The moment he opened the door, Xie Zhui felt that he had entered the wrong room.The room was quiet, and the two of them sat there drinking tea without saying a word, which seemed weird no matter how you looked.

Xie Zhui's return broke the deadlock between the two of them: "Your Highness, I have written to those merchants, and I will deal with them thoroughly during the dinner."

Li Jue put down his cup, smiled and said to Xie Zhui: "I won't go to the dinner party. I will leave this matter to you alone. I hope to see what they sent tomorrow. Of course, if they don't want to, we can also Report the evidence of the crime to the imperial court and ransack their homes, so that we can get more food, money and so on.”

After hearing this, Xie Zhui didn't agree, and regardless of Ying Que's presence, he directly expressed the question in his heart: "Your Highness, why didn't you just copy their home?"

"This statement is wrong. Although merchants are the lowest class, a country without merchants is a lifeline. Yanyang is one of the best cities in the later Tang Dynasty. It is prosperous and prosperous. Naturally, there are more merchants than other places. The twists and turns in it Naturally, it is also indispensable. If we move one of them, the things involved... I am afraid it is beyond our imagination."

When Li Jue said this, Xie Zhui understood.Although he couldn't turn the corner on some things, he still understood this simple truth, so he didn't continue to ask.

After getting the answer, Xie Zhui turned his attention to Ying Que again: "Is Miss Ying Que still busy?"

With this question, Yingque couldn't hold back.When they came, they clearly said that there was a way to deal with the profiteers and the drought. After the profiteers were solved, there was still a drought!

However, Li Jue didn't ask any questions, and just waited for her to ask.If so, how can she negotiate terms?

This Xie Zhui looks very shrewd, but the question is so difficult to answer. If you say it's okay, then why are you still sitting here?If you have something to say, but you don't talk about it, what's the matter?Yingqi wondered if Xie Zhui did it on purpose.

"Master Xie's words are trying to drive Ying Que away?"

"Why would the girl think like this? I'm just afraid of delaying the girl's time. If there's nothing wrong, why don't the girl go back first?"

"you……"

Xie Zhui saw that Ying Que was speechless, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly bowed to Ying Que: "Xie understands! Girl, please rest assured, we will definitely remember the contribution that girl made to the common people this time. When it is reported to the imperial court, the girl will definitely be rewarded, and I will also ask the girl to leave her address, which will be convenient for us to find in the future."

Hearing Xie Zhui's words, Ying Que was furious!

This Xie Zhui was clearly against her on purpose!However, she couldn't refute it. Everyone said that she was rewarded, so what else could she do?There are only broken teeth and blood swallowed.
