old friends return

"What do you mean by that? Who came up with the idea in the first place? And who agreed in the first place?" The supervisor was also angry, "You and I are in the same boat now, and neither of us can survive if the boat capsizes!"

The county magistrate flicked his sleeves, "Think about it, when the whole thing is revealed, neither of us can save the other!"

"Why don't you," the prison magistrate leaned close to the county magistrate's ear mysteriously, "shall we invite that lord to discuss it?"

"It's okay, there's such a big mistake, and the matter is beyond our ability to solve." The county magistrate had no objection to this proposal.

The two walked out while talking, but the county magistrate still sighed, "What an unfortunate thing! I expected the two living Buddhas to leave after delivering the money, but they are still here!"

"Isn't that right! It's been like this for a long time, it would be better if those assassins succeeded in the assassination last night!"

"Shut up! You still think that death is not transparent enough!"

The voices of the two gradually faded away. Qiao Nan and Qiao An glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.

Ever since Qiao Nan knew that Qiao Bei had cooked for him last night, his mood has been floating in the air, watching the two people quarreling in front of him like watching a good show, "Hey, hey, dog eats dog, this is it."

"Isn't it?" Joan replied, "I said, can you restrain yourself? I know that you will have a unique meal when you go back, so don't be so embarrassing!"

"Hey." Qiao Nan smirked.

Let's not mention it here, but talk about Cheng Muzhi and Liu Qingyan who went to the Cangzhou River with Liu Zhifu on the other side.

The money for disaster relief has been distributed by them in person a few days ago, except for a part that was used on the people, most of it was used to build dams.

It's just that the scene in front of me is not optimistic.

Those who carried the sand baskets, those who carried the stones up and down, and those who piled up the surrounding timber, only a small number of yamen servants were young and middle-aged, and the rest were all younger women.

Cheng Muzhi frowned slightly, looked at the magistrate at the side, "Does Master Liu have anything to say?"

The magistrate silently pointed to the relatively calm Cangzhou River in the distance, and turned his gaze back to the people who were busy building the embankment, "What I want to say is already in front of His Highness. These scenes are all This is the living conditions of the people in Cangzhou for a month."

"That's why you came to Shengjing on purpose to let us come over?"

"Your Highness is wise, the power of the lower official alone will definitely not be able to solve the matter here, not to mention that His Highness has also seen the situation of the lower official in the past few days, and it is still difficult to protect himself."

"Okay, very good." Cheng Muzhi patted him on the shoulder, "Do what you can, be resourceful, and serve the people wholeheartedly. This is the kind of official I should have in Da Zhou."

"I want to ask you, for your great achievement, you will definitely be rewarded a lot when you return to Shengjing, but what do you want?" Cheng Muzhi looked at the calm river in front of him, and the burden in his heart finally eased a little.

"Your Highness," Prefect Liu saluted him, bowing slightly, "I don't have much desire for an official, as an official, it is the duty of an official to seek the peace of the people, and it is also my own pursuit."

"When His Highness seeks justice for the people, the subordinates will have no regrets. If you want to talk about rewards, Your Highness will let the subordinates stay in Cangzhou and be the parents of Cangzhou."

"Since you ask so, I will naturally agree." Cheng Muzhi nodded, "Now, tell me everything you know."

"Yes."

Liu Qingyan stood not far behind Cheng Muzhi, looking at Cheng Muzhi's clothes fluttering slightly with the river wind, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This young man who grew up with him has now completely become a man who can protect him behind him, and the emperor's appearance on his body is becoming more and more difficult to conceal.

He stands here, and this world, is the peerless scenery.

Liu Qingyan's thoughts were a little far away, he remembered the divination made by a half-blind man to Cheng Muzhi when he was about to leave three years ago.

"Dragon fights in the wild..."

Since then, he has never dared to tell Cheng Muzhi's fortune. After all, he has already made plans to change his name...

Liu Qingyan was taken aback by Qiao Nan's sudden appearance in front of her eyes, and her thoughts stopped abruptly.

"Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Qiao Nan looked at him strangely, "Why don't you stand with the master? It's strange to see you from behind. The master's back is very majestic, but he is alone, so lonely."

"Uh..." Liu Qingyan was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

"Forget it, I'm not going to tell you this, I'm here to talk about something serious!" Qiao Nan was a little happy, and when he jumped to Cheng Muzhi's side, he returned to normal, and whispered something in his ear What.

Liu Qingyan saw Cheng Muzhi's face turned from surprise to seriousness, and finally nodded, indicating that he knew.

"Since the matter is pretty much understood by me, Prefect Liu might as well go back first. For the two small towns you mentioned just now, I will ask the casual imperial physician to check them out."

"The lower official thanked His Highness on behalf of the people of Cangzhou."

"This is also a matter of my palace." Cheng Muzhi nodded to Qiao Nan who was next to him, "Qiao Nan, send Master Liu back."

"Yes!" Qiao Nan replied sharply.

Liu Qingyan stepped forward at this time, "Your Highness, what did Qiao Nan tell you?"

"Heh," Cheng Muzhi smiled slyly, "Ah Yan, there's a big fish about to take the bait!"

"Ah? Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"Those two idiots ran to discuss things with the Japanese pirates." Cheng Muzhi held his chin and smiled, "Qiao Nan followed them to find a place."

"Tut tsk tsk," Cheng Muzhi was very excited, "A Yan, are you sleepy?"

"What?" Liu Qingyan was a little puzzled, but replied honestly, "I'm not sleepy, I slept until noon today."

"Then let's visit the enemy's lair tonight, shall we?"

"Uh...Okay." Liu Qingyan hesitated for a rare moment.

"Lin Anyou and Gao Xuan really thought that they came to Cangzhou to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and they haven't seen anyone for two days." Cheng Muzhi said in a gloomy way, his eyes flickering with an unknown meaning.

"Your Highness," Liu Qingyan felt a little helpless, feeling that the back of the person in front of him was far from the one he had just seen, and wanted to tease him for a moment.

Immediately, he had a small face of grievance, "Your Highness said that you came to Cangzhou to take the minister to eat delicious food? The minister has been here for three days, and he has not eaten His Highness's meal."

Cheng Muzhi looked at Liu Qingyan in front of him, and was hit in the chest by his cute and coquettish appearance, "Okay, okay, you can eat whatever you want! Let's go, let's go now!"

"Hey!" Liu Qingyan was a little shocked, it's really easy to learn and sell now...

While slandering in his heart, he was happily dragged away by Cheng Muzhi.

When will he also learn to be drunk today when he has wine?
