Zhu Lan is dead

"Last year, the imperial court allocated 200 million taels, and the disaster situation improved in the same year, and the prefectures and counties paid 97 taels of tax..."

"Wait." Looking at the scroll in the official's hand, he frowned, "Why not half of it."

"This..." The official hesitated, looked at the Shang Shu lord beside him hurriedly, rolled his eyes and said: "The lord of the Futai hasn't finished counting yet, no, it's not the annual tax..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a consistent sound of breathing in the hall that was clearly audible.

"Idiot!" Wang Lang lowered his head and cursed secretly, but Zhou Lixiao's gaze had already turned to him.

"Wang Lang!" A heavy and majestic voice almost knocked him down, "Tell me, how does this count?"

He raised the brim of his hat and stepped out, "Your Majesty, I, I don't know."

"do not know?"

"No, it was because of the flood in Qutian last year that half of the expansion of the waterway was allocated to build embankments... So, so..."

"Didn't I remember that I dialed last year? I even specially sent Zhang Lin to supervise the work." After saying that, Wang Lang felt a burst of cold air rushing up his back.

With sweat in his hands, he said in a trembling voice: "The flood in Qutian is a disaster, especially at the turn of spring and summer every year. Last year, the adults who surveyed the disaster personally counted that more than 3000 people were killed by the flood, excluding the waived corvees. Taxation, a total of more than 2000 funeral arrangements per household, a total of..."

"I'm asking about this year." Zhou Lixiao looked at him with a cold light in his eyes.

"This..." Wiped the sweat on the official uniform with his hand, and continued: "I see that this year's season is approaching, and I am worried that the flood will happen again, so I specially..."

"You have opened your eyes, and the floods will happen again this year?" Can't help but sneer, "Last year's appropriation was enough for you to build rivers and embankments, plus the continuous improvement every year. If something happens again, shouldn't I punish you?"

"..."

With his fingers, he overturned the memorial on the table and said, "Let me continue to check! If you can't find out, I will use your family wealth to fill the treasury!"

"Your Majesty, this..." An old official couldn't help but Zhou Lixiao glanced at him, "What? How did the governor report it in those years? Don't think I don't know what was reported!"

"You guys are doing such poor job now, but you are getting more and more unreliable in your work. I would raise you as a dog!"

After that burst of anger, there was no sound in the hall for an instant, but after a while, there was an urgent message from outside the hall, waiting to be passed on layer by layer, and when it reached his ear, his expression changed.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince, something happened to him..."

Empress Wei Ya had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, but Zhou Lixiao stood aside with a livid face, "How did the prince get out?"

Wei Ya said: "This concubine is thinking about Liandi coming back in the next few days, and the crown prince has also discussed with this concubine, so..."

"How long has he been out? Where is Yan Hui?"

Li Rongju on the side hastily stepped forward, "His Royal Highness left about three days ago, Commander Yan just returned yesterday, and he brought Du Langjun who was wounded all over..."

He clenched his fingers suddenly, and after a while another guard rushed in, "Your Majesty..."

"what's up?"

The little guard knelt down and took out a letter, "The general guarding the city just discovered this, it seems, it seems that the person who took His Highness away said that he wanted to return the hostages, called, called..."

"What's your name!" Zhou Lixiao slammed the table violently, furious.

"Call Yingru King to rescue..."

"..."

"His Majesty……"

The air was quiet for a while, Wei Ya stopped crying, and said cautiously, "The prince, as the heir, has a great status and responsibility, and he must not lose anything..."

"I know." After a long time, he rubbed his forehead tiredly, "I will send someone to save him."

After taking a comfortable bath, Guifuyan put on his robe for him, "After a few more days of recuperation, the pain will be reduced by more than half. Although the spine needle won't come out for a while, I will think about it." Method……"

"I know." Ye Fanji honestly let him get dressed, "I made you worry."

There was a pause in the movement of his hand, Gui Fuyan looked up at him, the astonishment in his expression quickly disappeared, he smiled, "You have a conscience."

Ye Fan leaned back with his hands behind his back, his hair was still dripping, and he said with a bit of arrogance: "No matter how I say it, I have a better conscience than that bastard, I'm not like him, who died for so many years without worrying about anything. "

His expression changed suddenly, and Guifuyan stood up, "It's fine, what are you talking about him for?"

A smile flashed across his eyes, and he continued to smile: "Why can't you mention it? He is comfortable walking alone, leaving us and Cijia..."

"No!" He raised his brows and smiled ironically, "The Ci family has long since died, and now only you and I are left..."

"Stop talking." Anger appeared in his eyes, "Do you still want to make me angry?"

Ye Fan grinned a few times, his eyes were quiet, "I don't want to."

After a while, he changed the subject, "I just hate him."

After putting away the dishes on the table, the figure who was about to go out suddenly paused. He turned his head slowly and glanced at Ye Fan, "Actually, you are the one who shouldn't hate him the most."

"..."

The fingers placed on the quilt were squeezed tightly, and the eyes that were closed for a moment slowly opened again. Unable to calm down, the mood was inexplicably restless, and he got up and climbed off the bed. Door.

This place is remote and remote, surrounded by mountains, and the environment is naturally good, but because of the good environment, there are no people here.

Without the hustle and bustle of the market, everything looks so different.

The horizon of the sky will also be swallowed by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the silence that belongs to the night will come. A person has been walking in the wasteland for a long time, and the long hair on his shoulders has been blown dry by the wind, so it is loosely draped over his shoulders. He looked like a madman.

At this time, a sound of horseshoes galloped over. It was unknown whether he had frightened others or others were frightened by him. The person on the horse saw such a dark figure walking towards him from afar, and almost jumped out of his horse in fright. down.

With a sweep of the whip, a sound exploded in the air, "Hey, don't get out of the way, don't get in the way!"

"Is this a letter from the capital?" Ye Fan asked holding the letter.

The person who delivered the letter was beaten up by him for disagreeing, and now he is holding his half-swollen face in misery, "Yes..."

As soon as the postman nodded, Ye Fan immediately opened the letter paper, ignored the postman's wailing, and read the contents of the letter paper word for word into his heart against the thin light from the sky.

The fingers pinching the paper suddenly tightened and then tightened, almost squeezing the entire letter into a ball.

There was a pain in the delivery of the letter, and before he had time to say a word, Ye Fan almost bypassed him and got on the horse.

"Hey, my horse..."

Ye Fan grabbed the rein and looked down at him, "I'm going to the capital now, so let me borrow your horse first."

"No, I can't go to this capital now..." The postman looked at him and said anxiously.

"What do you mean?"

Lying alone in the dark night for a long while, he opened his eyes with blurred vision.

"woke up?"

The voice was low, like a whisper, and suddenly hit his heart.

The whole person instantly looked like a frightened tailed carp in the water, sitting up straight and leaning to the side.

The candles were dim, and the man was just sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes were bright, and there was obvious banter.

"Why do you feel like seeing a ghost when you see me? If it weren't for this opportunity, I might never see you."

Zhou Keyin looked at him stunned and speechless, as if he hadn't realized the fact, the hand behind him couldn't help but a sharp pain, he raised his hand with a surprised expression, only to find that the place where his finger was scratched had been specially bandaged up.

"You..." He tried to speak, his voice was hoarse, "Shouldn't you be in Guo Rong?"

But Wo Xuan looked at him and said with a smile: "I said before, I will keep pestering you until I get you, and I will never die in this life..."

"..."

There was an unspeakable weirdness in that smile, Zhou Keyin twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to calm himself down, "Did you misunderstand something, how could it be possible between us..."

"So you want to reject me?" Wo Xuan cut him off bluntly, his eyes were quiet, but it seemed to hide infinite turmoil, "For you, I escaped from the returning team, and now I don't even care about the position of the crown prince. , Just to take a look at you, you treat me like this?"

"I……"

"And you?" He suddenly sneered, "Contradict me in the hall and ask me to marry the daughter of the clan who has nothing to do with me..." He suddenly clenched his fists, "Zhou Keyin, what do you think I am?" ?”

There was a bitterness in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak. With things now developing like this, he didn't know where this inexplicable feeling came from, but Wo Xuan looked at him and said word by word: "Now that you do this, I do the same." I admit it, but your current appearance is really disappointing..."

As he spoke, he suddenly sat up straight, raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his hand in front of him, smiled gently, "Come here."

"Calm down..."

"come over."

As if he couldn't hear what he said, he just repeated the two words in such a numb manner, until the people close to him were a little moved by what he said, but he suddenly stepped forward and pulled Zhou Keyin over.

"what are you doing……"

He subconsciously exclaimed, but Wo Xuan hugged him and refused to let go, he lowered his head and buried his head in his neck, his warm breath gently brushed against his skin, he was startled, let this man be so tight Hold him tight.

"Don't leave me, okay?"

But he lowered his eyelashes, "You should also understand that this kind of thing..."

Before he could speak, a sharp pain suddenly came from his lower abdomen, his body shook violently, he tried his best to push Wan Xuan away, but the latter grabbed his wrist and restrained him, unable to move, he watched helplessly. That cold blade was straight|inserted into the abdomen...

"You..." The pain came in bursts, and it seemed that even breathing became difficult, and his clenched fingers began to weaken, "Madman..."

Wo Xuan looked at his painful expression and smiled, and pulled out the blood-stained blade, and his clothes were soaked in blood in an instant, but he bent down and kissed him on the face, smiling softly, " Since I don't want to, I have no choice but to ask you to die..."
