Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

"You don't need to give me a statue."

Xiao Mobai refused bluntly, but the villagers continued to persuade.

"The common people not only made a statue of His Highness the Crown Prince, but also made a statue of the Crown Princess. In the future, we are also planning to build a palace for His Highness and the Queen to worship."

Such an outrageous request, Xiao Mobai actually hesitated after hearing that he and Gu Nian were receiving offerings together.

Gu Nian was always observing and found that Xiao Mobai had a faint tendency to agree, so he immediately stopped him.

"Uh... why don't we just forget it?"

After Gu Nian heard about it, she also felt very uncomfortable. It always sounded weird that she and Xiao Mobai were two living people being enshrined in statues.

Just when the villagers wanted to continue persuading, Gu Nian quickly said: "And you also think that this old master can't mold the prince's charm. If he can do it reluctantly, it won't be what you want."

Gu Nian's words spoke to the hearts of the people, and they felt that what Gu Nian said made sense.

"What you said makes sense, why don't we just forget it?"

"How can that work? Then how can we let the younger generations always be grateful for His Highness the Crown Prince's great kindness."

There were differences among the crowd. Some people felt that a better master should be found to make the statue, while others felt that no matter how much they were sculpted, the charm of the prince could not be created.

"I don't need you to express your gratitude at all times. I also said that it is my duty to save you."

"How about that?"

These simple people still insist on leaving some thoughts.

Gu Nian saw that the villagers were still insisting, but the statue still seemed strange to them, so he proposed a compromise.

"How about this. Your Highness, I, leave you an object. This way, you can remember it all the time. In the future, you can also tell future generations about the fight against the flood with Your Highness today.

If something unexpected happens in the future, you can take this token and ask His Highness for help. "

Gu Nian's proposal was so brilliant that all the villagers could accept it.

"Well, I also think this method is very wonderful. My Majesty is still very kind to me."

As long as Gu Nian's suggestion was made, Xiao Mobai thought it was very good.

With Gu Nian's suggestion, Xiao Mobai took off the jade pendant on his body and handed it to the old man in charge of the village.

The old man took the jade pendant reverently and held it carefully in his hands.

"The common people would like to thank His Highness for giving this thing."

With Gu Nian's suggestion, this matter finally came to an end.

On the way back, Xiao Mobai still kept praising Gu Nian, but now he was not as reserved as before.

"My Nian'er is so smart that he can think of such a way. With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"

Listening to Xiao Mobai's exaggerated praise, Gu Nian rolled his eyes at him. Could Brother Mo Bai be more exaggerated?

Ye Zhao and others moved very quickly. By the time Gu Nian and Xiao Mobai walked around and returned to the tent, Ye Zhao was already waiting here.

Of course, Qionghua’s contribution is also indispensable.

Because when Xiao Mobai was transmitting messages to Ye Zhao, Qionghua was also helping Ye Zhao.

Qionghua is the one who cares about Nian, so Ye Zhao naturally didn't hide Qionghua when he left.

Qionghua learned about this, and after Ye Zhao left, she avoided Canglong's people and secretly sent a message to the people in Tinglou.

With the help of Ting Lou, Ye Zhao quickly found out the matter.

It turned out that it was not that local officials were corrupt, but that most of the money for disaster relief was withheld by the local admiral alone.

None of the remaining officials who handled the matter got involved, and all the remaining silver was allocated to the disaster-stricken areas.

The governor was one of the people who drank in the brothel when the disaster struck.

When Xiao Mobai heard about this, he was extremely angry. As an official, he hadn't taken the time to come to him to settle accounts regarding the prostitution, and now it was discovered that he had withheld a large amount of disaster relief money. This was simply audacious and lawless.

Gu Nian couldn't sit still anymore, so he slapped the table and stood up.

"Brother Mo Bai, let's go now and chop him down!"

As Gu Nian spoke, he seemed to feel dissatisfied, and then said: "Chopping him up is not enough to anger the people, so we must execute him in Ling Chi and quarter him into five pieces!"

Seeing this, Xiao Mobai put Gu Nian on his lap and gently helped her breathe.

"Nian'er is not angry. It's already dark today. It won't be too late for us to go there tomorrow."

After Gu Nian heard this, when he was about to refute, Xiao Mobai added: "Let Ye Zhao investigate again. There must be other evidence of crimes for such officials. We will punish them together when the time comes."

Gu Nian originally planned to refute that there was no time to catch corrupt officials, but after hearing another reason Xiao Mobai said, he thought it would be better to let Ye Zhao investigate again.

Seeing that Gu Nian no longer refuted, Ye Zhao accepted the order and left.

After the two of them took a shower and changed clothes, Gu Nian tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

Xiao Mobai pulled Gu Nian, who was rolling back and forth on the bed, into his arms and restrained him.

"What's wrong? But you can't sleep?"

"Well, all I can think about now is that damn corrupt official! I can't sleep at all. I just want to go to their house and kill him!"

Because it was completely dark, there was only one candle lit in the tent, but Xiao Mobai was still in the darkness and could really see Gu Nian's gnashing expression.

"Ah--"

Xiao Mobai was amused by Gu Nian and chuckled, and said dotingly: "Since Nian'er can't sleep because of him, and we can't kill him at will before the matter is found out, why don't I take Nian'er to sort him out?" How is he?"

Xiao Mobai has always doted on Gu Nian unconditionally, and Xiao Mobai is also used to acting according to her on matters that have nothing to do with her life and safety.

After hearing Xiao Mobai's suggestion, Gu Nian changed his worried look and sat up from the bed.

His big eyes were shining with excitement as he looked in Xiao Mobai's direction and asked, "Really?"

Because without Xiao Mobai's excellent martial arts, Gu Nian could only see Xiao Mobai's blurry figure, but could not see his expression clearly.

When Xiao Mobai saw Gu Nian getting up, he followed suit and said, "Of course it's true. When did I ever deceive Nian'er?"

"Then shall we go now?"

"Well, let's go now."

After getting a positive answer from Xiao Mobai, Gu Nian got off the bed excitedly, put on his clothes and was about to go out.

Fortunately, Xiao Mobai's quick eyes and quick hands pulled Gu Nian back when he was about to go out.

"Huh? Didn't you agree to go right away? Why are you dragging me along?"

Gu Nian felt Xiao Mobai pulling her back. She thought Xiao Mobai had changed his mind and refused to let her go, so she asked reluctantly.
