Snowy Chang'an Road

Wei Shao did not answer directly, but asked: "Does Mr. Jiang not know what crime he has committed?"

Hearing what Wei Shao said, Jiang Rong's originally uncertain heart felt a little more confident.

While the two were having a psychological game, Jiang Rong suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind. Looking back, he saw Zhan Xun leading two young people walking towards this side. The servants of Jiang Mansion only dared to look away from a distance. Afterwards, no one dared to come forward.

"Master Jiang, did you think of anything when you saw Master Zhan? Do you think it was you who took the initiative to confess, or I wanted to punish you, so that you would be willing to tell the truth?"

Jiang Rong's originally confident heart suddenly collapsed the moment he saw Zhan Xun. In his eyes, he understood this old-fashioned colleague who only accepted death.

"Your Majesty, spare your life. Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently, so I have been recuperating at home. I am not ignoring the disaster. This is really not within the scope of my responsibilities. Please be clear to me, Your Majesty."

After listening to his explanation, Wei Shao continued to ask: "Master Jiang, is there anything else you want to explain?"

Jiang Rong thought about it in his mind and couldn't say that he was not doing his job properly, was greedy for money, and occupied people's land. That was not the case for that official, except of course, Zhan Xun and Chen Chi.

"Go back to your lord, no more."

"Master Zhan, tell me, what other crimes does Master Jiang have?"

"This"

This question confused Zhan Xun, but this was also the effect Wei Shao wanted. He knew that Jiang Rong was the censor stationed in Henan County in Chang'an. Local officials like Zhan Xun and Chen Chi did not dare to offend him at all, but Wei Shao's The identity is different. Now he is forcing Zhan Xun. No matter what Zhan Xun says, he is forced to have no choice.

"Master Zhan, is it possible that you still want to protect Master Jiang?"

Zhan Xun knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I dare not. Mr. Jiang has indeed been unwell recently."

Hearing what Zhan Xun said, Jiang Rong's heart dropped in his throat, and his eyes looking at Zhan Xun became much gentler.

"Since Mr. Zhan has said so, I will believe you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Master Jiang, are you feeling well now?"

"Go back to my lord, I have recovered, I have recovered."

Afraid that Wei Shao might not hear clearly, Jiang Rong said it twice.

"That's good, Mr. Jiang, pack up and come to the edge of the Yellow River."

"I obey your orders."

Wei Shao left with a few others, and left another sentence before leaving.

"What I dislike the most in my life is a man who makes the mistake of using a woman as the scapegoat. Does Mr. Jiang know what to do?"

Jiang Rong knelt on the ground and replied repeatedly: "I know, I know."

After settling the matter with Jiang Riao, Wei Shao and others came to the Yellow River with Jiang Riao. Chen Chi and Zhan Yong were organizing soldiers to block the breach.

Zhan Xun originally wanted to ask Chen Chi to come over and reply, but was stopped by Wei Shao.

"Sir, get down to business first."

Wei Shao did not hesitate, jumped into the water, and together with the people and soldiers, built a dike to block the breach.

During the meal, Pei Ying and Zhan Rao came to the Yellow River. Behind them were many women. Originally they were just servants of the government delivering meals to the soldiers and people working by the Yellow River. Now, after Pei Ying's adjustment, the women who were affected by the disaster were mobilized to help them. Delivering meals is faster and more efficient.

"Wei Shao, it's time to eat."

Wei Shao turned around and saw Pei Ying holding the food box in her hand and smiling at him.

"Xiao Shen, Bai Zheng, stop first, come up and eat, and then do it after eating."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"promise."

Several people sat on the ground. After half a day's work, they were all very hungry and started to eat hungrily.

"I opened a small stove for you."

Hearing this, Wei Shao just took a mouthful of noodles and stopped.

"See what I do? Not only for you, but also for Master Zhan and the others." "It's just this once, it won't happen next time."

"understood."

Bai Zheng was immersed in cooking, and Xiao Shen glanced to the other side from time to time. He was afraid of being discovered, and quickly looked away, but Pei Ying still keenly caught him.

"Brother Xiao, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing."

Pei Ying saw him stuttering and noticed something unusual about him. She looked in the direction he was looking at just now. Zhan Rao was watching his father and brother eating. Pei Ying looked at Xiao Shen's evasive eyes again. She seemed to Understand something.

After seeing Wei Shao and others finishing their meal, Zhan Xun and Chen Chi came to visit.

"Meet the King of Peking."

Wei Shao was a soldier in the army. During the war in his early years, he had a few encounters with Chen Chi, but they never had a close relationship.

Today, Chen Chi saw that Wei Shao was not rigid about trivial matters, and could share the sufferings of the people regardless of his own identity, and his admiration for him increased in his heart.

"Master Chen, there is no need to be polite. Henan County was hit by a disaster. Your Excellency can protect the people together with Master Zhan. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. This is the duty of a lower official. If you eat the emperor's salary, you must be loyal to the emperor."

When Chen Chi said this, Wei Shao also looked at Jiang Rong's expression, and saw that he had a calm face, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Wei Shao didn't want to pursue it too much. Originally, this matter was a big or small matter. He came to Henan County under His Majesty's order to solve His Majesty's worries, not to add trouble to His Majesty's heart.

No one is perfect. Officials like Jiang Rong are in the majority, while officials like Zhan Xun and Chen Chi are in the minority. What I am doing today is just to close the relationship between Jiang Rong and Zhan Xun, and let Zhan Xun Sell ​​Jiang Rong a favor and it will be easier to get along with him in the future.

"Okay, I see that the breach has most likely been blocked. It will probably take three or four days to completely block it. Master Chen will have to work harder in the next few days."

"promise."

After a busy day, several people returned to the Sheriff's Mansion and settled down.

In the room, watching Pei Ying stretch her muscles, Wei Shao insisted on giving her a few squeezes, but Wei Shao's hands were heavy and Pei Ying felt pain as soon as he squeezed her.

"Wei Shao, please be gentle."

"it is good."

Wei Shao relaxed his hand and squeezed Pei Ying's muscles inch by inch, and Pei Ying gradually felt relieved.

"Wei Shao, lie down and I'll squeeze it for you."

"No, I'm not tired."

"Be obedient."

Pei Ying couldn't help but push him down, and started to pinch his waist and beat his legs.

"You can use a little more force."

"This is already my greatest strength."

"."

Pei Ying used her pink fist to hit the tight muscles on his body, which hurt her own hands. However, Wei Shao's expression remained calm. This body was as solid as stone.

"Wei Shao, I discovered a secret today."

"What secret?"

Wei Shao was originally a little sleepy when he was pressed by Pei Ying, but when he heard what he said, his sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"I'm just guessing, there's no evidence yet."

"You tell me first and listen."

"I found out that Xiao Shen might like Zhan Rao."

"What? Impossible, absolutely impossible. I've known him for so many years, and he has no interest in women at all."
