Chapter 717
My mother is a very wise woman. She doesn't expose the matter between us, not because she is afraid of his identity, but because she is afraid that the greater the resistance, the more rebellious I will be and want to be with him.My mother understands me and knows that I will wake up sooner or later when I am indulging in the beauty of love for a while.

All of this is predestined by God, if Chang Zai hadn't suddenly become pregnant, I'm afraid I wouldn't have calmed down so quickly.

The next day, my father helped me resign from him as an accompanying student, and he agreed without saying anything.I stay in the mansion every day, and sometimes I don't even come out of the room.But news about him still reached my ears.

I heard that he promulgated several new decrees one after another, which won the support of the people; I heard that the pregnant concubine was a prince in her belly, and he was taken care of by the most skilled imperial doctor in the imperial hospital; I heard that he was busy for several days. He is a diligent and good emperor who doesn't even have time to set foot in the harem; I heard...

Every time I hear news about him, it makes my heart ache!I want to run away and come back after forgetting him.

I packed my luggage and decided to go to Huihe to find my elder brother.My mother was worried that I would go to such a far place as a girl, so she agreed to it after all.I concealed the fact that Xiaobai was retreating, and I didn't even dare to show a tooth.

Let's go, I will leave Kyoto soon.Along the way, I was not in a hurry, I stopped and stopped, and stayed longer when I passed by places with beautiful scenery.Three months have passed, and I am still halfway to Huihe.

When I reached the boundary of Jiangzhou, I was blocked by heavy rain.I wanted to wait for the rainstorm before going on the road, but I didn't expect the rain to stop for half a month. The floods caused disasters and the people of Jiangzhou fell into dire straits.

I was spoiled and raised in the Hou Mansion, when have I seen such a miserable situation in the world?Seeing houses collapsing everywhere, countless people being killed and injured, and hearing the cries of women and children, I suddenly felt that my little pain was nothing at all.

I decided to stay and participate in the disaster relief. I spent all my money on food and other things, and went to the street to give porridge every day.However, there are too many victims, and the food in the local grain depots is barely sufficient.There are some unscrupulous grain merchants who have a lot of grain in their hands, but they take the opportunity to raise the price at this time, which is really itchy.

However, there is no restriction on this aspect in the laws of the Heavenly Dynasty, and no one can control how much money people want to sell for their own food!Just being angry can't solve any problems. Seeing people dying of starvation on the side of the road, I feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, the food relief from the imperial court arrived much faster than expected. I heard that the carriages escorting the food and grass ran wildly day and night, and the horses were replaced every time they reached a post station.Immediately afterwards, the horse team escorting daily necessities also arrived, and the food and clothing of the people in the disaster area was quickly guaranteed.The government began to organize the victims to build their own homes, and the court allocated a lot of money.

The situation is very good, but gradually rumors of some officials embezzling official banks spread.I couldn't help being angry when I heard that, these damn officials really dare to fish out the money in the oil pan and spend it.

During the reign of the first emperor, due to wars, large-scale insect disasters, and snow disasters, the national treasury was short of money, and it was not until the later period that he gradually recovered.Now there is a flood again, and a lot of money is filled in it is a drop in the bucket.If he knew that there were officials who dared to take the money, he might be furious.

I couldn't help but think of him, this place is far away from Kyoto, and Emperor Shangao is far away, so he wouldn't know what happened here.Local officials always report good news but not bad news, and those who dare to beat the court officials are those in the court.I heard that the old man of the prefect of Jiangzhou used to be a young teacher, so he is considered to be the teacher of the current emperor.

In Jiangzhou, the magistrate is a local snake.Don't look at him taking good care of me, it's because he knows my identity.If I confront him blatantly, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Jiangzhou alive.Now that Xiaobai has not left the customs, I dare not confront him head-on.But I also don't want to watch the people suffer and let him, a corrupt official, fill his own pockets.

I wanted to write a letter to my father, but I couldn't find a reliable person to deliver the letter.At this moment, he actually appeared in front of me.Looking at his thinned face, I felt a little sore, and I stood there in a trance, unable to move at all.

During the days when I left Kyoto, I wandered among the mountains and rivers, and for a while, I was busy with disaster-affected people.I was busy all day, but I rarely thought of him.I thought I would gradually forget like this, but when he stood in front of me, I realized that my longing had already become a disaster!
He stared at me closely, his eyes were hot and scary.I turned my head in a panic, and when I heard his hasty and cautious explanation, I suddenly felt more and more uncomfortable.

He said that he came for the disaster victims and knew that I was here by chance. We are still cousins ​​and there is no reason to hide on purpose.

This explanation was obviously self-deceiving, but it gave me a reason to confront him.I turned around and saw that his eyes were already clear.

This time he was visiting in secret, probably because of officials' embezzlement of money.Accompanying him was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who disguised himself as a servant of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The magistrate of Jiangzhou entertained the servant of the Ministry of officials with great hospitality, singing and dancing all day long, and filling the servant's room with beautiful women at night.This behavior alone is not an upright official, it is not too much to beat him to death first and then question him!
Even his entourage, including him, was smeared. Occasionally he sneaked into my room, and his body still smelled of tacky rouge.As soon as I smell it, I kick him out.He was never angry, but rather happy.

My heart became irritable, although neither of us said it, we all understood that I was jealous, and he was happy because of it.I don't like this state, but he always pretends to be stupid with me, and when he senses my resistance, he puts on the hat of his cousin taking care of his cousin.

Since when did he become such a rascal, how could he still look like an emperor?The Minister of the Ministry of Officials dealt with the magistrate, so he arranged for people to secretly collect evidence.Within a month, all the physical witnesses were available, and soon the magistrate and several corrupt officials were arrested and escorted to Kyoto on the same day.

He ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to take people to escort him, while he himself stayed to supervise the reconstruction of Jiangzhou.How could the Minister of the Ministry of Officials be willing to let him stay and take risks so easily, and tried his best to persuade him to return to the capital.He refused to listen, and the assistant came to me again and advised me to follow him back to the capital.

Goodbye in Jiangzhou made me more aware of my heart. I am afraid that the little things of more than ten years will never be forgotten in my whole life. Some things have already been deeply rooted in my blood.The past is locked deep in my heart, and once I touch it, it bursts out like a dike.

I thought about it again and again, and decided to leave without saying goodbye.The morning of my departure was foggy, as was my gloomy mood.

Before reaching the border of the Celestial Dynasty, I hurried back.Because the guard next to him found me and said that he was stabbed and unconscious.Why was he stabbed suddenly? Who is so bold to do such a thing?What kind of injury is it? He has an old disease.
