Chapter 378 The Secret of the City Lord

After Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, she didn't feel that nervous anymore. Maybe it was because she didn't feel terrible when she first met the city lord, so now she felt more relaxed after speaking bluntly, and looked at the city lord seriously.

The latter looked at these bright and expectant eyes, and was a little at a loss. As for the stigma she said about herself, it was not fabricated by him, but it was not in Jiangzhou City, but Elsewhere, but he hesitated now.

"Do you want to help me?"

The momentary emotional fluctuations were brushed off by him, and the city lord looked at the little girl who was half a head shorter than himself in front of him with a half-smile, innocent and naive but with a sincere sincerity.

"Didn't it be agreed before, Heilong said that this is a mission you gave, so that we can leave Jiangzhou with all our needs, but we are also willing to help you. Didn't you say you wanted to leave the mine before? Where are you going and what are you going to do?"

Gu Qingcheng nodded, looked at the city owner in surprise, but still gave a serious answer, but sensitively felt that the city owner seemed to be in a bad mood, but not in the unhappy kind. She couldn't explain, so she could only ask tentatively.

"Little girl is worried about this a lot, isn't she afraid of getting old?"

The city lord didn't answer her question directly, but just looked down at Gu Qingcheng, with an elder tone, Gu Qingcheng was a little speechless, why did this person change his state all of a sudden.

"I'm still far from being old. Didn't you ask me to help? I didn't tell you when I asked."

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said to the person opposite angrily, but such a soft voice fell in the ears of the city lord, as if she was being coquettish or blaming.

"Then I would like to thank the little girl for your trouble, but I hope the little girl can discover more of it by herself."

The city lord said with a smile, but his eyes were clouded with ink, which made people unable to see through his true emotions. Gu Qingcheng intuitively felt that although he was smiling at this time, his mood was very depressed, but since he said so, he also Just listen to it.

"By the way, just now you said that if there is no rain catcher, even if the water vapor in the sky condenses, it won't rain. What's the matter?"

Gu Qingcheng was very knowledgeable, and changed the subject smoothly. He was really curious, and from what he said just now, it should be that this kind of thing happened many times in Yiqian. Seeing the city lord looking at him, it seems that you don't know. She wondered again, should she know?

"It's a strange thing to say. There are also good tricks in the mines. Their judgments on the weather are usually pretty close, but in the past two years, they have basically performed beyond the ordinary, especially this year."

"Let's not say that there hasn't been a drop of rain. From the perspective of the sky, this year should not be a drought year, but it just happened. I don't know the specific reason. If the little girl is curious, you can also look it up."

Well, in the end it was another matter that fell on her head. Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to talk anymore. Originally, she came here today to discuss the plan with the city lord, but the latter didn't seem to care at all, and didn't care about it. She was a little discouraged by the feeling of being weak and having nowhere to go.

Not only that, but now the tycoon has added some more things. The court is not completely clear about the affairs of Jiangzhou. Since Gu Qingcheng has already come, naturally he can't stand by and watch, and there is also the matter of building aqueducts.

"People from the government will come to you to talk about building a canal. There is a huge canyon in the shadow of the mine. If the water source can be introduced into Jiangzhou, many problems will be solved. Please think about it."

"Oh, did you bring this up to me, or did the government come to talk to me?"

The ending of the city lord was raised, which meant that he was not easy to get along with. Gu Qingcheng swallowed, and after thinking about it, it would be better to leave this matter to Nan Gongyin. After all, it is better for Grand Master Qin to taste some sweetness The next step is to plan.

"The government will come to you. I just want to let you know first, so that you can be mentally prepared. You can think about what kind of request you want to make in order to embarrass them. Anyway, don't agree easily."

After thinking for a while, he still didn't want to be blocked by the city lord. Gu Qingcheng expressed cryptically that he could make a request with a big mouth, but he asked the city lord to agree to this good deed of benefiting the people.

"It's strange that the little girl's official family has elbows like crutches."

The city lord looked at Gu Qingcheng, and the kindness on his face faded away. He knew that Gu Qingcheng's identity was not simple, and he had guessed it before. It was only now that he was completely sure, but Gu Qingcheng seemed to have not understood the threats and scrutiny in his words. , looking at the city lord happily.

"Among this group of people is the Qin Taishi I just told you about. This person is simply a cancer of the court. If it is not eliminated, no matter whether it is the court or the local government, the officialdom or the common people, they will not be able to live happily in the future. .”

Gu Qingcheng was not surprised that he was a member of the official family, because the city lord had said from the beginning that they knew their identities were not simple, but she didn't deliberately hide it, but Grand Master Qin basically followed them all the time , in case it is discovered...

In fact, it's not a big deal, everyone knows that the imperial concubine is a runaway and troublesome person, and the palace is like a cage that can't trap her at all. Nangong Mo doesn't mind, he can do nothing as an old minister, but in order to avoid these unnecessary things It's okay to avoid the trouble.

"You may not know Grand Master Qin very well. Anyway, this person is not good, and he is very annoying. Not only for the people of Jiangzhou, but also for yourself. Grand Master Qin must not ignore it."

Gu Qingcheng nodded as he spoke, as if agreeing with what he said. For a moment just now, the city lord even wondered if Gu Qingcheng had guessed something, so he deliberately mentioned Grand Master Qin, but after listening carefully, it seemed that It was mentioned casually, without any other emotions.

"So, that seat is not polite anymore."

Naturally, the city lord will not reject this kindness, but he also has his own thoughts about Grand Master Qin. In fact, Gu Qingcheng guessed correctly, he does have a relationship with Grand Master Qin, but it is more serious and more serious than she thought. …Unforgettable.

Nan Gongyin and his party set off half an hour earlier than Gu Qingcheng, but they were still half an hour behind them. When they arrived at the mine, it was already past time, and there were guards at the mine entrance, and they didn't take the initiative to ask when they saw anyone coming. No entry is allowed at the entrance of the cave.

"How many times do I need to say it? I am Wu Guang, the magistrate of Jiangzhou. These two are imperial envoys and princes from the imperial court. We are here to discuss matters with your mine owners. Please don't spread the word quickly. Be careful about delays." You can't afford this responsibility!"
