cabinet first lady

Chapter 73 I'm in Jinling
Yin Ji turned around and walked towards Zheng Lu, showing an apologetic smile and said: "Master Zheng, I have tried my best. But the disaster victims just insist on biting you. If this continues, the situation will get out of control. Is it right to arrest you to quell public anger?" The best way. Master Qiu, don’t you think so?” He looked at Qiu Ran.

Qiu Ran remained silent with a sullen face.

Zheng Lu saw Qiu Ran's hesitation, and immediately said: "Lord Qiu, don't believe him! He must have done it on purpose!"

Unmoved, Yin Ji just looked at Qiu Ran and said, "Master Qiu, what do you think? There is no better way."

Qiu Ran looked at Yin Ji with scrutiny in his eyes.

His eyes were dark and deep, like a hawk's.

Yin Ji looked calm, with anxiety in his eyes, as if he was trying to calm down in front of the victims.

Hearing the voices of the victims, Qiu Ran finally nodded.

Yin Ji turned around, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, and said loudly, "Put Zheng Lu in prison!"

"Master Qiu! Master Qiu!"

No matter how much Zheng Lu yelled, it had nothing to do with Yin Ji.He will let him go in and there will be no chance to come out.

Yin Ji walked up to the victims.

The victims fell silent as they watched Zheng Lu being taken away.They were originally determined to kill each other today, but they didn't expect Zheng Lu to be caught.

"Everyone, don't worry, I will personally sit in Jinling next time, and I will definitely fulfill the promise just now. It's getting late, and it's still raining, everyone should go to bed early, and I will send hot meals over at dawn! I will start to resettle tomorrow Your parents, wives and children."

Slowly, some victims began to put down the poles in their hands. After the first one, there was a second one, and a third one...

Yin Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.His clothes were soaked with sweat mixed with rain.

The storm subsided like this.

In the city, Ruan Muyang sat at the table, in front of him was the soup that had just been stewed by enamel.

She absently stirred the soup with a spoon.

Thinking that there was a turmoil not far from the Yangtze River, she felt nervous.

Knowing what was going on by the river tonight, Fang Fang persuaded: "Madam, drink the soup first, you still have a child in your stomach."

After her reminder, Ruan Muyang came back to his senses.

Yes, she still has a baby in her belly.

Er Shui on the side looked at Ruan Muyang and Fang Fang who had been preoccupied all night, with a puzzled expression on their faces.

After Ruan Muyang finished drinking the soup, there was finally a commotion outside.

Heyue and the others are back.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Muyang asked.

Heyue and the others were still dressed as disaster victims, with mud still on their faces, and said excitedly, "Ma'am, Zheng Lu has been arrested." After experiencing a turmoil, his expression has not yet calmed down.

Ruan Muyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Er Shui was taken aback by Heyue's and the others' outfits, and then asked in disbelief, "What? That dog official Zheng Lu was arrested?"

She finally realized why Ruan Muyang and Fang Fang were so abnormal tonight, and she looked at Ruan Muyang with complicated eyes, both horrified and admiring.Afterwards, her tears welled up, if it wasn't for the enamel blocking her, she might have come up to save Ruan Muyang.

"Be careful, madam is pregnant, what if she hurts madam?" Fang Fang reminded.

Er Shui stepped back carefully, nodded, "I'm so excited."

After that, there was another sound of footsteps, and it turned out that it was Yin Ji who was in a mess and came back.

"Master Yin, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that before."

As soon as he entered the door, Ershui jumped down, and Yin Ji paused.

After knowing that Zheng Lu had been arrested, Ruan Muyang's mood relaxed, and he was even in the mood to smile at this moment.She suppressed her smile and said, "Okay, Ershui, you go down with Fang Fang and the others. Heyue, you go down to wash up too, and change into clean clothes."

He Yue hesitated for a moment, took a look at Yin Ji before leaving.

"Why are you back?" Ruan Muyang knew that Yin Ji should have many things to deal with now.

Yin Ji wiped the water stains on his hair, and said: "I'm afraid that you, a pregnant woman, won't sleep at night because you have too many things on your mind, so you will naturally come back and change into dry clothes before going to the government office."

Ruan Muyang is indeed one of the few women who has to worry about so many things while she is pregnant. "Thank you."

Yin Ji raised his eyebrows, and the washing of the rain made his eyebrows clearer.His ancestral home is Yangzhou, but he grew up in the gentle Pingjiang, and his facial features carry the characteristics of Jiangnan people.He hooked his lips, evoking the graceful turn of Jiangnan people, his frivolous eyebrows and eyes were like a charming color hidden in the deep alley, and said: "Thank you, at least my child recognized me as a godfather, so I naturally have to care about it." .”

After the joke, he said: "After I go to the government office, I will write a memorial to explain the rectification of Jinling in detail, and then have someone send it to the capital overnight. Naturally, this memorial is not for the Queen Mother. Do you—do you want to let me know?" Shall I bring a message to Elder Zhang Ge?"

A little message for her during the memorial?

Such a ridiculous thing is probably only done by Yin Ji.

Ruan Muyang knew that although she didn't really explain why she fell from the capital to Jinling, Yin Ji must have guessed most of it.She said: "No need, Heyue and the others sent someone to deliver the letter a few days ago."

"Can they let me deliver the booklet through the official station? And the Jianghuai area is not easy to travel, and his people don't know when they will arrive." Yin Ji said, "Soon Qiu Ran will react to what I have done. , Jinling will be even more dangerous at that time, it is better to leave as soon as possible if you are pregnant."

Ruan Muyang thought about it, and felt that Yin Ji's words made sense.

After all, she still has a child in her womb, and she can't let this child have any risks.

Immediately, she walked to the desk and spread out the paper.This house was originally lived by Yin Ji, so everything is available.

She left the front of the paper blank, leaving it for Yin Ji to write about what happened in Jinling, and she wrote a few small characters at the end——I am in Jinling.

After Ruan Muyang finished writing, Yin Ji took the paper and left.

On the next morning, Yin Ji kept his promise and personally took the officials from the government office to the riverside to deliver meals to the victims.

These officials are Zheng Lu's subordinates. Although they are unwilling to obey him in their hearts, they still have to obey his instructions on the surface.

After visiting the victims, Yin Ji went outside the city to let the officials let them go, let the victims who were driven out come in, and set up a shed to house them.Looking at the faltering and many sick victims, Yin Ji's heart felt unprecedentedly heavy.In the past, he was raised by the prefect of Pingjiang as his own son, and he never suffered hardships. Later, he recognized his ancestors and returned to the Yin family in Yangzhou. Although it was dangerous, the Yin family was the most wealthy businessman in Yangzhou.Later, he went to the capital to take part in the general examination, and then became an official. It can be said that he has never seen the suffering of the people at the bottom of the society.

This inspection, especially in Jinling, touched him very much.

In the afternoon, the medicinal materials transported from Yangzhou finally arrived.These medicinal materials were donated by the Yin family and several other wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou.Many places on the road from Yangzhou to Jinling were flooded, and it was very difficult to transport them.

At the same time, the doctor came over.

A large amount of medicinal materials entered Jinling City, and the original monopoly was broken.

Almost at the same time that the medicinal materials entered the city, the official sent by the prefect of Pingjiang to assist Yin Ji also arrived.With capable manpower, Yin Ji is like a tiger with wings added.Not only resettled the victims, but also recruited Jinling locals in the city to build dams.

Soon, Qiu Ran realized that Yin Ji was just acting, and was furious.He wanted to save the situation and rescue Zheng Lu, but most of Jinling was already under Yin Ji's control, especially because he was very popular.

He could only ask Zheng Lu's confidant to follow Yin Ji's side and spy on him while working for him.

Everything is going in a good direction, and Ruan Muyang can finally raise his baby with peace of mind.The baby in her belly is almost three months old.

One day, Ershui quarreled with two officials who came back with Yin Ji.

Ruan Muyang heard Er Shui's voice, called Fang Fang and asked, "What's wrong?"

The stable enamel turned out to be angry: "Ma'am, do you still remember the officials who took away Heyue and the others in the inn, and later took away Ershui's officials? Ershui saw the leader."

Thinking of the helpless scene at that time, Ruan Muyang's face turned cold, he stood up and said, "Take me there."

"Stinky girl, why is it you again?" After finishing speaking, the officer looked at Yin Ji in fear, wondering why he saw her here.

When Ruan Muyang saw him, he smiled coldly and asked, "This official, do you still recognize me?"

"You—" the official was even more surprised, suspecting that his eyes were blurred.

Yin Ji looked at Ruan Muyang and asked, "Why did you come out?"

Now Ruan Muyang has been pregnant for more than three months, and her stomach is slightly protruding, but it is not obvious.

When the official saw that Yin Ji knew Ruan Muyang, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Of course I'm here to settle accounts with others." Ruan Muyang looked at the pale-faced official and smiled meaningfully.

Who would have thought that this group of people was so extraordinary that they even knew the inspectors sent by the capital?The officer knelt down with a "plop", too frightened to speak.

Ruan Muyang was unmoved, and continued: "What is the official doing? I remember that the official was very prestigious at the time, calling me a mere woman, and mocking me for meddling in my own business, treating myself as someone else?"

Yin Ji asked, "Has this person offended you?"

"Small, villainous people have eyes but don't know Mount Tai."

"It's more than offending?" Ruan Muyang raised his eyebrows and said, "He took Heyue and the others away and left me alone, almost killing me."

The enamel echoed: "He is helping the tyrant, he is Zheng Lu's running dog."

Yin Ji smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You are quite courageous, do you know who this lady is?"

"Damn the villain! Ma'am, please spare me!"

"Fortunately, if Heyue and the others see you, they might beat you to death." Ruan Muyang looked down at him from above, "There is a shortage of people on the embankment, so let's spare your life and go to repair the embankment."

Yin Ji liked Ruan Muyang's noble and incomparable appearance, he kicked the official to the ground and said, "Come here, take him to the riverside. If he dares to be lazy, throw him into the river and feed the fish."

"Yes!"

Er Shui looked relieved and clapped his hands in applause.

The wicked have their own grind.

In the capital city, in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Another batch of new memorials were sent over, most of which were memorials from various local officials, which needed to be processed by the cabinet before being handed over to the Holy Majesty.

Zhang Anyi looked at it one by one, very quickly.

When he saw the memorial that Yin Ji rushed to deliver, he paused for a moment before picking up the memorial and opening it.

Yin Ji is a member of Queen Mother Qiu, and many times the memorials are presented to Queen Mother Qiu alone, and rarely sent to the cabinet.Zhang Anyi reads things extremely fast, and can see ten lines at a glance without missing a single word.It is written in the memorial that Yin Ji arrested Zheng Lu, the prefect of Jinling, and reported Zheng Lu's crimes.

Zheng Lu, the magistrate of Jinling, obeyed the orders of the Qiu family, and punishing Zheng Lu was equivalent to turning against the Qiu family.

Zhang Anyi hooked his lips.

The Grand Scholars in the cabinet were busy with their own affairs, very quiet, only the sound of flipping through papers.

When he saw the four small characters at the end of the memorial, Zhang Anyi's eyes froze.

He was all too familiar with the handwriting.

——I am in Jinling.

Unexpectedly, a memorial contained information that he sent people to find hard for him to find. Zhang Anyi's bottomless eyes suddenly fluctuated, and many emotions flashed through quickly, like fleeting shadows.

Suddenly, he stood up.

Seeing him standing up suddenly and walking out emotionally, Shen Wei raised his head with a look of doubt in his eyes, wondering to himself: This Er has become more moody and elusive recently.

Zhang Anyi who had left Wenyuan Pavilion called Mo Wen and said, "Madam is in Jinling, send someone to bring Madam back immediately."

Mo Wen was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Yes."

After watching Mo Wen leave, Zhang Anyi looked up at the sky, as if he saw the continuous rain in Jinling.After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and returned to Wenyuan Pavilion.

"What's wrong? But what happened in various places?" Shen Wei asked.

Zhang Anyi put away Yin Ji's memorial in a calm manner, walked to the corridor outside the door with Shen Wei, and said: "Just now Yin Ji sent someone to deliver the memorial, detailing the crimes committed by Zheng Lu, the prefect of Jinling, Already took him down and put him in jail."

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Wei's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Yin Ji's behavior is beyond my expectation, and I'm afraid it will displease the Qiu family."

Zhang Anyi remained silent.

"The water in Jinling is very deep, and it is almost the world of the Qiu family. If he does this, he may anger Qiu Ran and make it dangerous." Shen Wei frowned and analyzed seriously, not paying attention to the emotional changes in Zhang Anyi's eyes, and continued, "However, his choice surprised me. It's just that his safety is difficult to guarantee."

Yin Ji was surrounded by dangers, and Ruan Muyang was with him.

"We have to help him?" Shen Wei asked.

Zhang Anyi nodded: "It's exactly what I want."

A few days later, people from Jinling came.It was Hemu who was sent by Heyue to report.

Hemu told in detail what happened along the way after they left Cangzhou.

The more Zhang Anyi listened, his complexion became darker, and his eyes became darker.He hides all his emotions under his gentle appearance and bottomless eyes.

In the end, Hemu's words completely broke his sophistication, like a stone hitting a bronze mirror, the sound of cracking was thrilling, and it was like the light of the sky, breaking the silence.

He Mu said——Madam has been pregnant for more than three months.
