A Timely Wife

It has been almost ten years since the sixteen countries in the south belonged to Dachu. Before Dachu moved its capital, Anhe was the governor of the three prefectures, and was in charge of the prefects of the three prefectures. The south moved into the territory of Dachu these years. There are more and more people, and the caravan from Dachu to the south has gradually formed a scale. Except for remote places or places with high mountains and dense forests, the three prefectural roads in the south are better than those in the north. Now the children in the south are asked When you are from where you are from, you will basically answer Dachu people. As for where your grandparents are from, they know but don’t care. The glory of the ancestors does not eat or wear clothes.

An He has worked hard for so many years, hoping that these people in the south can merge with the people of Dachu as soon as possible. As a self-proclaimed smart person, he can't see clearly the future of Dachu, let alone other people in the south. The magistrates of the entire prefecture were all selected from the heirs of the sixteen countries at the time, and they were all shrewd and capable, but they were too shrewd and capable, so they tried every means to make money from the treasury.

When Chengdong was in Nanjiang Prefecture, he paid great attention to infrastructure construction. No matter where he went, the first step was to build the road first. After the road was repaired, many things would be easy to handle. For this reason, the three prefectures in the south The roads were repaired very quickly and frequently. The three magistrates found that the money for road construction was allocated very quickly, and each time it was only a little more. Longing to be similar to the eunuchs who served in the court before, it may be that the most reliable thing is money. These few secretly deducted a little from the project funds at the beginning, and then blatantly embezzled the project funds. It took only three years. He took out several million taels of silver and put it into his own pocket.

An He is not completely unaware, but even if he is aware of it, there is nothing he can do about it. His lover and children are being controlled by others, and he himself has been given chronic poison. Several times, An He wanted to tell Li Ruosong or Cheng Dong Talking about this matter, but in the end, I couldn’t say it out, and I could only watch these people crazily amassing money, from project funds to Fucheng’s taxes, from caravans to common people, almost everything was scratched. Oily water down.

The common people who were able to escape basically moved out. Because the population of the three southern prefectures was decreasing year by year, the tax revenue was also decreasing year by year. However, even at this point, the Minister of the Household Department has never mentioned it, and he has not even set up a cover for the three southern prefectures to help them forge accounts , to deal with the court.

Chengdong is not proficient in finance, Li Ruosong only knows a little bit, Xiong Ruoshan is even worse, he only knows a little bit, and none of the three are proficient. It is no wonder that these people have been fooled for so long. After all, the following If there is a problem with the accounts, if the people above check it out, it’s okay to say that they can’t find it out, or even help to falsify it. Even if they have great skills, they can’t see the problem.

Cheng Dong and Li Ruosong stood beside An He's bed. The An He back then could be described as handsome and handsome, but no matter how they looked at the person in front of them, they couldn't see the shadow of An He. An He opened his eyes uselessly. , looked at it for a while, pulled the corner of his mouth, trying to give them both a smile, but didn't even have the strength to pull the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Cheng Dong nodded slightly to An He and said, "Don't worry."

An Hewei shook his head invisibly, and said with difficulty, "The three magistrates should be killed."

Li Ruosong narrowed his eyes and asked, "All?"

Although what Li Ruosong said was endless, An He understood and said, "Yes."

Li Ruosong replied thoughtfully: "You have a good rest and take care of your body."

An He smiled wryly and said, "My child, please."

When the child was mentioned, Li Ruosong had a serious expression and said solemnly, "Don't worry."

An He let out a long breath, as if he had let go of some heavy burden, and his face became even more gray. Both Cheng Dong and Li Ruosong couldn't bear it. Judging from this, An He probably only happened in a day or two.

Coming out of An He's room, Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong were a little silent. They never thought that the political field would be so cruel, even more terrifying than the battlefield. Fighting on the battlefield is limited to soldiers and soldiers. , the fighting in the political field does not see gunpowder, but it also sees blood. An He is dying, and his lover and children don't know where they are being held. Now it is An He, who will it be in the future? Okay, so I stretched out my hand to hold the two brothers, Li Cheng and Cheng Li, and prevented them from passing. Li Cheng and Cheng Li were obedient and did not move, but they were very worried. The two fathers were almost forty, and their mood fluctuated too The conference was not good for their health. Chengdong had caught the cold during this period, and he was on the road day and night. He took Chengdong's hand and said, "Anyway, now that we are here, we will definitely be able to solve it smoothly. Don't worry too much."

Cheng Dong shook his head and said: "Saving people is a professional job, no matter how worried I am, I can't help, I just think, how attractive is money, so that these people will not hesitate to kill to get it? Are they really not afraid of death or do they think they won't die?"

Li Ruosong was silent for a while, then said: "Fu Lang, sometimes, just because we don't care doesn't mean that others don't care, we don't think it's necessary, it might be what they need and want the most, just like they don't know We think the same, and we can't figure out what they think, after all, we are all different people, and we want everyone to think the same unless we all have the same brain."

Chengdong sighed, and said: "Actually, I understand the truth, but I just feel, feel, alas, let's not talk about it, I will leave the matter of saving lives to you, and I would like to do it with Li Cheng, Cheng Li, take your father's warrant and go to a nearby garrison, and send another 1000 people over here, and it will soon be very peaceful here."

Li Ruosong heard the words and asked, "What about you?"

Chengdong turned around and looked at the tightly closed door, and said, "I'll discuss it with Steward Zhang to see if there is any way to detoxify An He. It's a life, and I can't just watch it like this let him die."

Li Ruosong raised his hand, took Chengdong into his arms, and said softly: "Do your best to obey the destiny, didn't you also say that a doctor can cure a disease but a doctor can't save a life?"

Chengdong put his face on Li Ruosong's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Zhou Jinyan reluctantly pulled Li Cheng and Cheng Li to go outside. This couple is so real that people don't know what to say about them. It is obviously a very serious matter, but how did it turn into a public show of affection later on? People who are already married blush when they see it, let alone Li Cheng and Cheng Li who are not yet married. They have never seen them so sticky before. The older they get, the stickier they become. The friendship shown in the room often makes them, the bystanders, blush.

Compared to the blushing Zhou Jinyan, Li Cheng and Cheng Li are quite calm. They are used to the behavior of their two fathers sticking together without knowing it. Seeing that Da Xin is clear, the two of them had a lot of shame when they were young, and they would not be sticky in front of outsiders at will, but when the two of them were alone, they looked like they could grow on each other, it's just age The bigger the face, the thicker the skin, and that's why other people saw the small movements between them from time to time.

Of course, the good relationship between the two fathers is also a good thing for Li Cheng and Cheng Li. They have different understandings of the family and the future spouse. They hope that they can get along with the two fathers after finding a lover in the future. You la Hold me, I hold you, from young to old, from black-haired to gray-haired, to be able to have someone accompany me to the end, I think it is a very good thing when I think about it.

The progress of the investigation is very fast. The prefects of the three prefectures have very close ties with each other, and they are very tight-lipped. They understand very well that if the whereabouts of An and his family are not found, they will still have a life. Their family members were found, and their time of death was coming. The more money-greedy people were, the more they were afraid of death. This sentence was well reflected in the three magistrates.

Li Ruosong, who originally didn't want to call the torture department, was irritated by their behavior that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Day by day, seeing An He's dark eyes and increasingly dilapidated body, Li Ruosong decided to let the torture department People from the department came to interrogate the three prefects, and they must pry out the whereabouts of An and his family from the mouths of the three.

Before the people from the torture department came, Chengdong had already heard the news and rushed over. The three prefects have not explained anything, and the entire investigation has reached a deadlock. The three prefectures in the south have been in constant trouble recently. Today, a group of people gathered here, tomorrow A lot of weapons were found there, and it seemed that several prefectures were thinking of rebellion. Fortunately, the resident responded quickly. After receiving the news, they immediately activated the second-level combat readiness mechanism, which managed to stabilize the situation without letting the three Fucheng is really in chaos.

Chengdong knew that time was very important to them. How could they allow them to procrastinate like this when every second counts? One more day would be more dangerous. It would take three days at the earliest for the people from Li Ruosong's interrogation department to arrive. Chengdong decided to come by himself. For interrogation, before they came, Li Ruosong refused to agree at first, but he still couldn't hold Chengdong back, so he had to personally accompany the three prefects to the prison where the three prefects were detained.
