Daliang female chief assistant

Chapter 6 Surveillance
"You can say that. Are you going to apologize? You want to force him to death."

Emperor Xuan pretended to be angry, and threw the memorial in his hand towards Wen Yuting.

Wen Yuting refused to evade, the memorial fell to the ground, Emperor Xuan winked at Wei Yi who was beside him, Wei Yi hurriedly squatted down to pick up the memorial.

And the man sitting in the chair looked at this scene amusedly, and no longer intentionally provoked Emperor Xuan, he cleared his throat and spoke.

"Then what does His Majesty want me to do?"

Seeing that he finally took over, Emperor Xuan straightened his robes, cleared his throat and said, "Zhou Shu asked himself to be the county magistrate of Siyi County, and he will go to Xiangzhou to take up his post in three days. Since you have the heart to apologize, go with him Bar."

What does his taking office have to do with him?
Wen Yuting thought this way and asked the same question.

As soon as the words came out, Emperor Xuan gave him a supercilious look.

"The disaster relief money was lost last time, and I haven't found it until now. This time, you and General Fengtian will escort it together, and help Zhou Shu find the lost disaster relief money by the way."

Seeing that he still wanted to refute, Emperor Xuan added, "Only in this way can you show your sincerity, and you can also stop the mouths of those people at Yushitai."

"I have no one to trust except you."

The last sentence was quite sentimental and sad.

In such a big court, he said that no one can be trusted, so he can only entrust such an important matter to a rich dude.

As Emperor Xuan expected, Wen Yuting was greatly moved, and immediately slapped his chest and agreed.

"It turns out that I am so important to you, my lord. Well then, my lord will just follow that week and leave this time."

"Yeah." Emperor Xuan hummed lightly, closing his eyes, "I will appoint you as the governor of Xiangzhou, and send Fengtian General Wang Youxian to escort you to Siyi County with grain, grass and disaster relief money. The purpose of this visit The first is to provide disaster relief to the people, and the second is to find the lost relief money and punish those corrupt officials who have eaten the imperial food but did nothing.”

Hearing this, Wen Yuting changed his previous looseness, lifted his robe, knelt down on one knee, and kowtowed.

There was a loud voice, "Chen Wen Yuting took the order to thank you."

Coming out of the imperial study room, Wen Yuting didn't rush to Zhou's mansion, but changed his way halfway to the brothel he often went to - Huamanlou.

As soon as he appeared at the door, the old bustard warmly greeted him.

"Ouch, is Little Marquis Wen here? Please come in, please come in." As he spoke, he lightly slapped Wen Yuting's face with a handkerchief full of powder smell, and dragged him inside.

While walking, she also kindly talked to him about the girl in Huamanlou. During the days when he was not here, she thought about him day and night, and her figure became thinner.

From the beginning to the end, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he turned the tail behind him inadvertently from the corner of the eye, letting the bustard drag him inside.

After a while, the laughter of the girls came from the box.

And the dark guards sent by Emperor Xuan to monitor Wen Yuting, saw this and left quietly, going to the palace.

After he left, the smile on Wen Yuting's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy and cold scene, and waved away all the girls.

After the girls had all left the room, the madam came in.

Blessed him, "Master."

"Hua Yue, is there any clue to what I asked you to investigate?"

Huayue changed her previous charming posture, with a serious face and a stern voice, and said: "Master, since Li Lin hanged himself, his family members have disappeared. Our people have not found their whereabouts, but..."

He paused for a moment.

Dissatisfied with her hesitant attitude, Wen Yuting looked cold, "But what? Huayue, when did you learn to hesitate like this?"

"Master, please forgive me." Huayue knelt down and continued: "When our people were looking for the female family members of the Li family, they happened to meet King Xiaoyao."

Xiao Yuen Long?What is he doing there?
It seemed that this matter was exactly as he thought, and it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Wen Yuting had a plan in mind, straightened his robes, got up, and prepared to leave.

Seeing his movement, Huayue immediately got up from the ground, walked to a wall, lifted the hanging painting, and pressed a mechanism. The next moment, the white wall split into two, revealing a secret passage.

Wen Yuting stepped in, followed the direction of the secret passage, all the way forward, came to a secret door, pushed the door, went out, and entered a study.

It turns out that this secret passage connects Huamanlou and Wen's study.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wen Yuting is an unlearned and incompetent playboy who has nothing to do all day long. Even the servants of Wen's family regard him as an idiot who can't help him, and has never entered the study to clean.

Wen Yuting sat in front of the desk, and took a pen to write down the clues Huayue found and what happened these days on the paper.

One by one, seemingly unrelated, but inextricably linked.

Before that, he was worried about what excuses he should find to leave Beijing, but today Emperor Xuan asked him to go to Siyi County with Zhou Shu in order to test him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

It's not in vain that he deliberately galloped his horse on the street and almost knocked over Zhou Shu's carriage.

He pinched the paper with his long fingers and burned it with fire.

Then, he patted the ashes on his clothes, got up, opened the door, and walked out.

……

Two days later, the Zhou family.

Because Zhou Shu is about to go to Xiangzhou to take up his post, all the servants of the Zhou family are busy.

The Zhou family's ancestral home was in the south, and the house had been unoccupied until now, and Zhou's mother had someone clean it up for the two brothers to live in when Zhou Shu went to Beijing to rush for the exam.

Now that Zhou Shu is about to leave Beijing, the servants will naturally follow her to Xiangzhou.

There were a lot of things to bring, and Zhou Shu was worried that the mountains were high and the road was far away, and Zhou Shu's body would not be able to bear it, so he went to the pharmacy and clothing store on the street early in the morning.

The spring day was sunny, after breakfast, Zhou Shu sat on the corridor outside the study and read a book.

The sun shone warmly on his body, which actually brought a little bit of drowsiness.

He closed his eyes drowsily.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shu suddenly felt a weight on his body, and opened his eyes in a daze, "It's you, Qiu Min."

"It's me, son." Qiu Min replied, and tucked up the cloak for her, "Sister Fuxiu went shopping and hasn't come back yet. I was worried that you would catch cold while sleeping outside, so I took the cloak and came over to cover you."

"Ah."

Zhou Shu rubbed his forehead, closed his cloak, sat up straight, looked at the sun outside, and asked Qiu Min, "What time is it now? Why did it take so long to flick the sleeves?"

She felt a little uneasy in her heart, and just wanted Qiu Min to go out and find someone.

There were two footsteps outside the yard, one was steady and the other was brisk, and she recognized it as the one with Whispers.

Just who is the man who came with her?
Confused in her heart, before she could think about it, she heard another cry.

"stop!"

It was my brother's voice.

Zhou Shu said in his heart.

But... who was the person who was scolded by him?

"Qiu Min, go out with me to have a look."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead to walk out of the yard.

Her body was weak, and she was out of breath even though it was only a short distance from the study to the gate of the yard.

Because he was anxious, he took a few breaths of cold air, his throat itched unbearably, suppressed his voice, and coughed in a low voice.

Outside the courtyard, the two were still confronting each other.

"Master Wen, you rode your horse on the street the day before yesterday and almost knocked over your younger brother's carriage, causing him to fall and hurt him. Today, you came to my house without invitation. Could it be that just because you are from the Wen family, you can be lawless?"
