poisonous woman

Chapter 316
Xiao Junjue felt speechless. He rubbed his forehead and looked at the three empty bowls Qin Ruxin had in hand. He had already eaten three bowls of rice, and now he was eating the fourth bowl.

If he wasn't dressed neatly, he wouldn't be able to tell if he was thrown into the pile of beggars.

In Yaoji's year, when he first met Qin Ruxin, he was also a handsome scholar with red lips and white teeth.But in just a few years, how could he become like a farmer in the countryside, without book breath, just like a rough guy.

After a turmoil, Qin Ruxin slowed down, and stared at Rong Zhao strangely, "Princess, don't you even know the lower officials?"

Rong Zhao glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "What kind of person are you, this princess must know you?"

Qin Ruxin hesitated, he really saw the strangeness in Rong Zhao's eyes.

Gu Wu brought him a bowl of water, and he took a sip.It was originally intended to rinse his mouth, but he drank it.Gu Wu covered his mouth and smiled, but didn't take another bowl.

Qin Ruxin paused, and asked again: "Doesn't the princess even remember Yan Er and Xiao Qiu?"

"What are those, stray dogs?" Rong Zhao blurted out unconsciously. On a rainy day, the scene of a beggar leading two stray dogs was even more miserable.

Qin Ruxin almost choked, he looked at Gu Qu, very puzzled.

Gu Wu hesitated, glanced at Rong Zhao, and said in a low voice: "The princess had an accident, I don't remember some things."

"Huh?" Qin Ruxin's mouth grew so large that he could stuff a big steamed bun into it.

Rong Zhao turned to him disdainfully, "Ah, what? Stinky beggar, hurry up and leave after eating!"

I really don't want to eat at the same table with this kind of person, and I don't know what Xiao Junjue thinks to get this person back.

"Qiu Shui, take the rice to my room, I won't eat at the same table with beggars." Rong Zhao was arrogant, and when he walked out of the front hall, he turned his head and glanced at Qin Ruxin, with a look of disgust, and by the way, stared at Qin Ruxin. He glanced at Xiao Junjue.

Xiao Junjue felt the fierce gaze from the woman, looked up, and comforted her with a smile.

That smile was like an epiphyllum blooming in the dark night, when the petals unfolded, Rong Zhao's eyes were filled with dazzling colors, and suddenly opened in his heart.Her heart skipped a beat, her face tensed steadily, she hummed softly, and left the hall.

What the hell is doing with such a pretty smile?Want to seduce her?Dream it!

Xiao Junjue didn't call Qin Ruxin here for friendship, and after he had eaten and drank enough, he asked, "Do you know why this king called you here?"

Qin Ruxin wiped his mouth, and said: "I think the lord won't just reward me with a meal."

He is a smart man, and he belongs to the one-point understanding, "The prince wants to ask Mr. He?"

Seeing Wang Hao's attitude towards He Yingming, he knew it in his heart.Although the princess is a woman, but because of this, some attitudes that a prince should not have, the princess has replaced.

Xiao Junjue asked people to remove the table, and brought Qin Ruxin into the inner hall.

This time, they did not bring all the people from Prince Chu's mansion, but the new mansion was short of manpower, so they bought some temporarily.

It's just not safe, in case the partition has ears, it's better to be cautious.

"How is he?" Xiao Junjue knew that Qin Ruxin was a smart person, even if he was a little less sophisticated in human relations, it was not because he didn't understand, but because he disdained it.

As for the dinner arranged by How Yingming, why are the magistrates of the same county, only Dianchi and Qingcheng counties can accompany the table, and the magistrate of Meishan County with the best achievements is arranged in a corner.It is enough to see that his integrity has not changed since he was demoted to this point, and he is still the same Qin Ruxin who dared to offend the dignitaries in the court.

Xiao Junjue was quite pleased with this.

Many people were sharp at first, but they were gradually smoothed out by life and became the people they despised the most.

And what is even more admirable is not only his integrity as a scholar, but also the mundane smoke and fire that is stained on him. If he hadn't penetrated into the common people, he would not have revealed his true temperament.

Qin Ruxin sat upright, and when he mentioned He Yingming, his face darkened, and he said concisely: "Corrupt officials, cruel officials."

Xiao Junjue touched the jade wrench on his thumb, "What do you say?"

Qin Ruxin explained in detail, "As the governor of a state, all 24 counties are under his jurisdiction. Many officials look up to him, and all the money and silver the officials collect from the people below are filial to him. If any official has something to do, he will move his little finger. It can be settled for others. A portion of filial piety before and after the event will make his stomach full. There are too many things in it, so I won’t go into details here, just pick up one or two and tell the prince.”

Xiao Junjue nodded, and asked someone to serve tea and moisten his throat.

Qin Ruxin took a big sip of tea, and said boldly, "Let's talk about what happened not long ago. There was a Yuanjia Village in Jiangyuan County, which was rich in tea. There are a large area of ​​tea in the village. The villagers have been relying on selling tea for generations. It is the most affluent village in Yizhou. In fact, it has been peaceful all the time. Unexpectedly, Sun Daoqiang, the newly appointed county magistrate, coveted the tea fields and wanted to take them for himself. The tea fields are the lifeblood of the villagers of Yuanjia Village. He won’t sell it for any amount of money. Seeing that he couldn’t take it by force, he used despicable means to write a letter to the prefect He Yingming, saying that there was a plague in Yuanjia Village.”

Speaking of this, Qin Ruxin really didn't want to go on, and clenched his hands tightly, with a look of righteous indignation, "Actually, there is no such thing as a plague, just a few rats, but he judged it to be a plague. In the end, the people of Yuanjia Village They were all locked up in one place." Pain flashed across his eyes, and he didn't even want to continue, "Then, he set fire to them all and burned them to death, saying that they were afraid of being infected by the plague."

Ye Ying hurriedly asked, "Did He Yingming not go to investigate?"

Qin Ruxin took a look at him, "I went, but he was going to join forces with others. One played and one stamped, costing the lives of dozens of people in Yuanjia Village. The tea land belonged to the imperial court, and Sun Daoqiang bought it at the lowest price. His private property. The lower officials don't know how much He Yingming shared among them, but it's definitely not low. In short, the two of them are a nest of snakes and rats, working hand in hand."

Dozens of people were killed for a piece of tea land, and everyone who heard it was shocked by it, and the hall was silent for a while.

After a while, Ye Xiao asked, "Why hasn't anyone filed a complaint?"

Qin Ruxin's grief deepened, "Sue? Where can I sue?"

He glanced at Xiao Jun's formula, "It's not that no one has reported to the higher authorities, and even the lower officials have reported it, but the memorial could not reach the Holy Majesty at all, so someone withheld it from Yushitai. He Yingming has contacts with officials in Yushitai. I heard that , he has some relationship with King Qi."

Xiao Yuheng's father-in-law is at Yushitai.

Xiao Junjue raised his eyelids and stared at him, "What about the cruel officials?"

"Since he took office, his subordinates have committed countless unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. When the suspects were caught, before the evidence was found, they would be punished by the [-]th. If they were not recruited, they would be punished directly. Of course, this is for the poor. If the rich If you donate some money, the plaintiff can be sentenced to the defendant." Qin Ruxin said.

He stood up and bowed to Xiao Junjue, "I know that the prince is an upright person, let alone a person who corrupts the law and corrupts the law for personal gain. Now I look forward to your coming to govern, and I feel comforted by the prince. May the prince be a good man for the people of Yizhou. Seek justice, eliminate corrupt officials, and return Yizhou to a clean and sunny sky."

Xiao Jun asked Yeying to help him up, and said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and we must not act too hastily."

"The lower officials understand that He Yingming has been entrenched in Yizhou for many years, and he is deeply intertwined with the forces in the court. It is really not easy to move him." Although Qin Ruxin is not well-versed in the world, he still understands these gains and losses.

Xiao Junjue and Qin Ruxin had a deep talk before going back to the room at midnight, Rong Zhao had already fallen asleep at that time, she slept so deeply that Xiao Junjue didn't even know when she came back.

She really felt that Xiao Junjue sincerely did not let her sleep well and woke her up in the middle of the night.

As for how to wake him up, Rong Zhao was so sleepy that he didn't even know he was being taken advantage of.

Xiao Junjue pursed her lips and smiled, "Zhao Zhao, I'll take you to a place tomorrow, okay?"

Where are you going if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? Can't we talk about it tomorrow? Rong Zhao turned over, closed his eyes and frowned, "No."

"You will definitely like it." Xiao Junjue pulled Rong Zhao into his arms, only to find that Rong Zhao had fallen asleep again.

She fell asleep really fast, in the blink of an eye.

He secretly kissed Rong Zhao on the cheek, and said softly, "Let's go and regain your memory."

That was the beginning of her liking for him, and also the beginning of his liking for her. For the two of them, it was a place of love.

Although the current life is already very good for Xiao Junjue, but every time he faces Rong Zhao who does not have the same memories as him, his heart feels empty.

He still hoped that she could remember, even if only a little bit.

When Xiao Junjue was about to take her out the next day, Rong Zhao blinked his big eyes and looked at him, "Did I really say I'm going?"

Xiao Junjue wiped the corners of her mouth stained with crab juice with a handkerchief, "Yes, I was afraid that you would be exhausted, so I didn't want to take you there, but you kept begging me, so I had no choice but to agree to it."

He didn't change his face, and he didn't think he was lying at all.

Maybe it was three years after being pregnant, Rong Zhao was dull for a long time, wondering if he said this last night.

The only thing she can remember now is Xiao Junjue who woke her up, and she doesn't remember what she said.

Xiao Junjue looked at her, and did the opposite. He said with joy, "I think you should stay in Yizhou. Now that you are heavy, it is not convenient to go anywhere."

Those charming little eyes seemed to be shining, Rong Zhao squinted slightly, squeezing the fine gleam into his heart.

So happy, no matter how you look at it, it feels like doing something bad.

Could it be that some rare beauty doesn't want to take her there, or is he hiding his little wife there!

Thinking of this, pupils shrank suddenly, "You don't even want to leave me!" If you want to see your old lover alone, go ahead and dream.

Rong Zhao put his chopsticks on the table heavily, wiped his mouth clean, "Qiu Shui, pack my luggage right away, let's go to Meishan with the prince."

Xiao Junjue slowly took a bite of the crab roe bun, and when he was chewing, a smirk appeared from the corner of his mouth.

It seemed that it was getting easier and easier to deal with Rong Zhao.
