Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

I heard that Prince Chen has an uncertain temperament, but I didn't expect that the people under him are also very difficult to serve.Not to mention that Liu Mo has lost weight in the past few days, even he doesn't think about eating or drinking.

He Tingzhi originally thought that when someone came, he would use all the previous tricks to make him happy, and he would naturally turn a blind eye to many things. Who would have expected that this person would not get into it?
Seeing Tian Wang walking down the stairs quickly, He Tingzhi turned his head and met Liu Mo's cold face, his heart suddenly became uncertain.

"My lord."

The person in front of him suddenly made a sound, and He Tingzhi was shocked, and he calmed down for two seconds before recovering his voice, "What do you want Master Liu to say?"

Liu Mo looked at his slightly raised eyebrows, and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous. I have received orders from His Majesty to come here for inspection. Before I set off, I heard about Mr. He occasionally. I know Mr. He...heh..."

Another chuckle.

In the middle of his speech, he stopped suddenly, slowly raised his teacup, and took a sip.

The tea was already cold and had a bitter taste, but Liu Mo didn't even blink his eyes.

"Ah..." The stone that had just fallen in He Tingzhi's heart immediately hung up again, his face was not showing any signs of dew, "Really? I didn't expect that the name of the next official could still be heard by Mr. Liu."

Liu Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Master He doesn't want to know the specific evaluation?"

It’s impossible to answer this kind of question too earnestly, and it’s impossible not to care too much. He Tingzhi thought about it for a while and said, “If your lord is willing to say something, I will listen to you. However, I always think that as long as you walk upright and sit upright, you will not Fear of what other people say, good or bad, the human mind decides for itself.”

Liu Mo was a little surprised when he heard these words, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "This sentence is beautiful, I really like it."

"Your Excellency's praise, this is really what the next official thinks."

"Before I came here, I heard that the drought in Jincheng was severe, the people couldn't afford food, many people died of starvation, and the government didn't do anything." Liu Mo paused intentionally, glanced at the face of the person opposite, and continued. , "But in the few days I've been here, what I saw was different from what was written in the letter. It seems that some people don't see that Mr. He governs well."

He Tingzhi's expression turned serious when he heard these words, "I don't know where Master Liu heard these words from?"

He didn't know there were such people around him.

"I don't know who it is. Anyway, that's what I heard. Not only that, the palace also knows."

He Tingzhi: "That's unreasonable! I don't care if I'm polluted, but can you say something like 'there are many starved to death'? What if it causes commotion among the people!"

Liu Mo: "Yes, that's why His Majesty sent me here."

When He Tingzhi heard these two words, his expression turned serious, "Lord Liu, what did His Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty said that the notes you handed in over the years have been recorded in detail, and it doesn't seem like there is a problem. However, such remarks are rampant. Even if it is a rumor, you have to check it out. Otherwise, how do you communicate with the people? Don't you think so? ?”

"Naturally." He Tingzhi nodded, "Lord Liu, don't worry, the lower officials will also send people to investigate, and we will definitely find out whoever is behind the rumors."

He didn't fully believe Liu Mo, but he also felt that Liu Mo didn't need to lie to him. He quickly passed a few people in his mind, and finally felt something was wrong.

Before he could figure it out, he heard Liu Mo say again, "Since Jincheng is fine, I won't stay long, but before I leave, I have to report the situation here to His Majesty. Don't worry, Mr. He, I will definitely write it truthfully." .”

Looking at his slightly deep eyes, He Tingzhi thought he understood, and immediately said with a smile, "Then I will thank Master Liu first."

Liu Mo finally put down his teacup and waved his hand, "It's easy to say. But I still have a few questions I want to ask you, for the convenience of finishing later."

"Master Liu, please tell me."

"I don't know what other methods are used to solve the urgent needs of the people besides giving porridge?"

He Tingzhi: "It doesn't rain and the land is dry. At present, we can only send porridge and vegetables first, and let them pass this difficult time."

"Yeah, that's right," Liu Mo agreed with him, and said, "Yesterday, my people passed by Wuti Mountain, and they said that there seemed to be some abnormal movement on it. What's going on?"

"Lord Liu, it's like this. A few months ago, thieves who came from nowhere gathered on Wuti Mountain. A group of people were young but capable. They would go to the city to rob every once in a while. The people were miserable. Unspeakable."

Liu Mo: "Can't be wiped out?"

"The lower officials have already sent people up the mountain twice, but Wuti Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is really impossible to destroy it, so we can only be on guard at all times." After finishing speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

"Then why didn't you report it?"

This question can be regarded as asking He Tingzhi's heart, he said calmly, "To tell you the truth, Master Liu, I have written all the notes, but I was too busy a few days ago, so I forgot it for a while, and I will go back to the house later. Just pass it up. I only hope that this banditry can be eliminated as soon as possible, and the people in the city can return to peace."

……

No matter what Liu Mo asked, He Tingzhi answered fluently. He was obviously prepared, and the people Liu Mo sent out to investigate did not get any clues.

There was an invisible cage around him. He could sense something was wrong, but he couldn't touch the door.

Liu Mo turned his head to look out the window, while talking, Tian Wang was almost there.

He Tingzhi saw him staring at the long queue thoughtfully, so he said, "Master Liu, look, although the season is difficult, the people can still eat. Look, they received porridge and dry food, how happy they are! .People can tell lies, subconscious looks don't."

Liu Mo narrowed his eyes, "Yes, the mouth can lie, but the body can't."

He bit down every word, looked at the two people passing by downstairs, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind——

He seemed to know what was wrong.

At present, the short-brown man in commoner clothes has a strong figure, clean nails, and fair skin. He doesn't look like a person who can do farm work at all.

Liu Mo glanced at the little worker standing across the street again, and he understood.

No wonder everyone said that the government is good, Mr. He is wise, and his daring feelings are all pretended by his own people.

Liu Mo didn't get angry on the spot, just lowered his eyes, tapped his fingers on his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that he finally stopped asking, He Tingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and stayed by his side, waiting for Tian Wang to come back.

Opposite the teahouse is an inn. There are few people coming and going, and the business is poor. Today, only one door is open.

In a room on the second floor of the inn, the windows leaked through the cracks, and they could just see their actions.

Nan Zhen glanced at the officials walking around on the street, then turned her gaze back to the railing of the teahouse, and asked, "Is Your Majesty ready to meet him?"

The order came from the palace, Liu Mo naturally thought it was Xiao Rongxi's will, and never expected that the real majesty would be with him in Jincheng.
