Daimei Yuyan Xiaoxiang soul

Last time, it was mentioned that Shui Rong took Yun Ao out to investigate, and came to a teahouse, and happened to hear that the lotus boy had arrested the old man Li's grandson, so Shui Rong asked Yun Ao to go and have a look, but he didn't want to, it was also at this moment, Let Shuirong find out that the 50 pension that he let Shuimeng pay hadn't been paid to the relatives of those soldiers. How could this not make Shuirong not angry, so Shuirong decided to investigate this matter carefully.You must know that what Shui Rong hates the most is that there are people who practice favoritism, embezzle and accept bribes.I don't want anyone to tell him such information.

After hearing this, Shui Rong was furious, and said: "Why didn't you go to the higher-level government to talk about this matter?" Without the county government, the government government and even higher-level ones, Shui Rong didn't understand why They didn't even talk about it.

Many people in this teahouse didn't even shake their heads when they heard this. The man surnamed Zhang came over and only said to Shui Rong, "Brother, it seems that you don't know that in our Shandong, the so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away. Corruption is already good, and it is simply impossible for them to speak for the people."

Hearing this, Shui Rong's heart sank, it seemed that the water in this jar in Shandong was really turbid, Shui Rong didn't say much, he just said: "I heard that these seven provinces seem to pass through Shandong, why are you If you don’t go to him, he can always punish the Shandong officials.”

The one surnamed Zhang said with a wry smile: "How is that possible? Now everyone knows that the inspectors of the seven provinces are the guests of the Shandong government office. That's all." There seemed to be a bit of regret in the words.

After hearing this, Shui Rong pondered for a while, he still trusted Wei Ruolan, so he decided to meet with Wei Ruolan first, so he smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more, then sat for a while, Shui Rong also Then she left, and when she returned to the courtyard, Daiyu had already got up, saw Shui Rong and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Brother Rong, he seems to be in a bad mood, why are you so sad, who offended you." She looked left and right again After a moment, he said: "Where is Yun Ao, why is he gone? Didn't he go out with you?"

Shui Rong smiled slightly, and then said to Daiyu: "You have so many questions, where do you want me to start?"

Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "Then you can answer one by one." Then she made another grimace.

Shui Rong sighed, and then said: "I'm in a bad mood, because I found out that the officials in Shandong are guarding each other. I'm afraid the water inside is very mixed. No wonder the emperor wants us to deal with all the things in Shandong before going back. He already got the news."

Daiyu frowned slightly after hearing this, "Then where do we start?"

Shui Rong smiled slightly and said, "I want to meet Wei Ruolan at night."

Daiyu nodded: "Alright, where is Wei Ruolan now?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "It is said that he has become a guest of the Shandong government office, so I plan to pay a secret visit."

Daiyu pursed her lips and laughed: "It seems that this Wei Ruolan is quite interesting." Daiyu still trusts Wei Ruolan's character, and she doesn't think Wei Ruolan will join forces, so she said this.

After hearing this, Shui Rong was dissatisfied and said, "Whether he is interested or not, you are not allowed to say what he means." There was a bit of bitterness in his words.

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Jiu Tanzi, my casual words made you say that, I'm really jealous."

Daiyu's words not only did not embarrass Shui Rong, but said with a smile: "If you are jealous, be jealous."

Daiyu shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, since you plan to go out at night, you should go and rest for a while."

Shui Rong nodded, then didn't say anything, didn't say anything more, just went to rest in the cleaned up room.

After two or three quarters like this, Shui Rong went out with light clothes. During the day, he had already learned about the situation of the Shandong government office, so he entered very lightly. The prince unexpectedly entered like a young man, not knowing what people would say.

Shui Rong already knew Wei Ruolan's room, so he found Wei Ruolan skillfully, knocked lightly on the window, and then jumped in from the window.

Wei Ruolan, who was in the room, was not asleep, and when she saw Shui Rong, she smiled and saluted: "I have seen the prince." It seemed that it was not surprising that Shui Rong would come.

Shui Rong glared at him: "You are so comfortable, you actually became a guest here."

Wei Ruolan smiled, and then said: "My lord, I can't do anything about it. If I don't become this guest, how can I find out that list."

Shui Rong glanced at Wei Ruolan, then sat down on the chair in the room: "Tell me, what is going on here."

Wei Ruolan nodded: "I came to Shandong as the governor of the seven provinces according to the imperial decree of the emperor, but I accidentally discovered that all the local officials from the provincial government in Shandong are protecting each other and cheating on privacy, among other things As far as the pension you asked the emperor to release this time, my lord, in fact, at least 13 taels arrived in Shandong, but the family members of each soldier got 50 taels of silver. But Fa Yan, there is really a lot of trouble here, and many of the spearheads are directed at King Zhongshun and the four major families in Jinling."

Shui Rong frowned slightly: "The four major families are also involved?" It seems that he has to re-evaluate the four major families.

Wei Ruolan nodded: "That's right, the foundation of the four major families is very deep. Although all the students and deputy generals who were the princes of the two prefectures have died over the years, there are many descendants, and many of them are from Shandong Province. Yes, some powers and official positions were hereditary, that’s why the Shandong power appeared, according to my investigation, most of the embezzled money was given to those two governments, and some of it was given to King Zhongshun.”

Shui Rong nodded: "Which officials are there?"

Wei Ruolan smiled slightly, then took out a small scroll from her waist, handed it to Shui Rong, and said, "This is a list I got recently."

Shui Rong took it, opened it, looked at it, and said to Wei Ruolan, "Since you already got the list, why are you still here? Isn't it a blessing?" The last sentence was a joke.

Wei Ruolan smiled and said, "I'm looking for a map now, so I can't leave."

"Map?" Shui Rong looked at Wei Ruolan in surprise, "What map?"

Wei Ruolan said sternly: "My lord doesn't know, this Shandong is a place where crouching tigers hide dragons, not to mention the four major families, King Zhongshun and officials from all over Shandong have formed a line and established their own barracks. Members of the royal family are also making plans here in Shandong."

Shui Rong was taken aback for a moment, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Are you talking about Shuiji or Shuisi?"

Wei Ruolan laughed and said, "How did the lord know that it's Prince An and Prince Yuan?"

Shui Rong said indifferently: "Before I left Beijing, the emperor told me about this matter, so I know a little bit." The words were very light, but the source of the news was revealed.

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "I'll tell you the truth, it's not only these two princes, but also Prince Luo."

Shui Rong frowned slightly: "This water tea is also a part, you know something in detail, let's talk about it." It seems that the water tea in the sky prison is not particularly safe.

Wei Ruolan nodded: "I also found out by accident that these three princes actually built separate courtyards in Shandong, but I didn't know what was in these courtyards at first, but now I found out after many investigations. , These three princes are worthy of being three brothers, they actually set up an underground palace in their respective courtyards, and, I heard that even the dragon robes are ready."

After hearing this, Shui Rong couldn't help laughing and said, "They don't think that we are all vain, so we can let them mess around."

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "I don't know what they are thinking, but the emperor's thinking is very obvious, so I plan to get the blueprints of these underground palaces no matter what, so I can't leave for the time being."

Shui Rong nodded after hearing this: "Alright, you can consider this matter yourself, I won't say much, I live in a small courtyard now." He gave the address to Wei Ruolan, and then said : "If you have anything to do, or if you have finished the matter, you can come to me directly there. What I want to do now is to eradicate that lotus boy who endangers other people's children first." Shui Rong has always felt that keeping that lotus boy is a disaster after all. .

Wei Ruolan listened and said: "I have also heard about this lotus boy. I originally wanted to get rid of it first, but I found out that the origin of this lotus boy is very mysterious. It seems that no one knows his origin so far, and he has not yet People have seen his true face, only know that he has been wearing a mask."

Shui Rong nodded: "I've heard about this too, so I wondered, who is this guy named Lianhua Boy?"

Wei Ruolan also said: "So if the prince wants to deal with this lotus boy, he must first know who he is."

Shui Rong pondered for a while, and then said: "I will pay attention to this." He believed that Yun Ao would bring him some useful news.

Then Shui Rong said again: "You have to be careful here alone, should you send someone to help you?"

Wei Ruolan thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I suspect that some evidence is hidden in the hands of this Fuya lady, but there is no way to get it, so it would be great if the prince could send a woman to approach that Fuya lady."

Shui Rong nodded slightly: "Does Madam Fuya have any special hobbies?"

Wei Ruolan thought for a while, and then said: "This lady of Fu Ya seems to like being young very much, as long as she says that eating can make her a few years younger, she will try it, even if they cheat money." Wei Ruolan said with a smile: "Probably because this lord of the government office is so flirtatious. There are already nine aunts alone. It's no wonder this lady has such thoughts."

Shui Rong laughed after hearing this: "This is an opportunity. Tomorrow you go out on purpose, and then you meet Qing Chen, and you just say that Qing Chen is your cousin, and then talk about it, and stay with you. Anyway, how to manipulate this matter, You can figure it out for yourself, Qing Chen's purpose is to get close to the lady of the government office and get that piece of evidence, and your purpose is to find the maps of the palaces below under the cover of Qing Chen."

Wei Ruolan nodded: "It's the prince, I understand."

Shui Rong nodded again, then sighed and said, "It's an extraordinary time, sometimes it's okay to use some extraordinary measures, but you still have to be careful when you're alone in the wolf den."

Wei Ruolan glanced at Shui Rong gratefully: "Don't worry, my lord, I will pay attention to this." Shui Rong nodded, and then gave a few more instructions before leaving.

When Shui Rong returned to the small courtyard, it was already a bit dark, so he just took a break to see Daiyu before going in. Daiyu had already washed up and was waiting for Shui Rong to have breakfast together. Seeing Shui Rong, he said with a smile: "Brother Rong , Let's have breakfast together."

Shui Rong nodded, and then sat down. Because Daiyu has always been picky eaters, this breakfast is also very delicate. There will be at least five or six kinds of breakfast on a table. There is indeed a lot of breakfast.

Daiyu drank a small bowl of millet porridge and ate two crystal vegetable buns, while Shui Rong drank two bowls of white porridge and then ate five vegetable buns.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother Rong's appetite is so good today, did he gain a lot last night?"

Shui Rong nodded: "It's a great harvest." After eating and rinsing his mouth, he took Daiyu to the yard for a walk.

While walking, he told Daiyu one by one the news he got from Wei Ruolan at night.

After hearing this, Daiyu frowned slightly, and then said: "It seems that Shandong is a place that all princes want to own. If so, brother Rong, why don't we join in too."

Shui Rong was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Daiyu: "Why do you say that?"

Daiyu said: "Brother Rong, why are you messing around? Think about it, since all the princes are gathered here, why didn't they find out the news inside, at least this thing that Wei Ruolan can find out, they naturally It is also possible to inquire clearly, but why they can coexist here, and there is no incident of conflict with each other. In terms of people, whether it is Shuiji, Shuiji, Shuisi or the loyal king Shuiwoxin, they are all different in size. Fox, why are they able to tolerate each other? Do you not realize that there is something involved? I always feel that there seems to be an invisible rope connecting these four people together, and then adding the four major families. If we can find the end of the rope, I think it will lead a lot of people."

Shui Rong nodded: "You are right, it seems that what we are looking for is a source, but where is this source?" Shui Rong was also troubled.

Daiyu smiled and said: "Why worry too much, let us find out, we will find out, you don't need to be too anxious." Then she paused and said: "But why don't we make a source by ourselves. "

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu curiously: "Tell me about it."

Daiyu smiled slightly, and then expressed her thoughts to Shui Rong. Shui Rong nodded, but still sighed and said: "It seems that this is the only way to do it now." Then she thought for a while and said: "Yes. Now, Dai'er, I want to borrow Qingchen for a while, and I want her to cooperate with Wei Ruolan to find evidence from the lady of the Fuya."

Daiyu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, just tell her yourself later."

Shui Rong nodded, and then walked for about a quarter of an hour before returning to the house, and then someone called Qing Chen, and told her about the matter: "Qing Chen, what do you think, can you go?"

Qing Chen smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, of course you can go."

Shui Rong nodded: "According to Wei Ruolan, what the lady of the Fuya wants most is to retain her youth. Therefore, I think you are a medical student, and you can come here if you want to."

Qing Chen understood what Shui Rong meant, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do."

Shui Rong smiled slightly, and then said: "Very well, when you go to the street later, Wei Ruolan will come out, and then you pretend to be cousins ​​and meet unexpectedly."

Qing Chen nodded: "Yes, my lord, I understand." Shui Rong gave Qing Chen some instructions before letting her go out.

After making arrangements for Qing Chen, Shui Rong said: "Has this Yun Ao come back?"

Ri Chi shook his head: "No."

Shui Rong frowned slightly: "Nothing will happen to Yunao, right? It's already been a night?"

Richi smiled and said: "It will be nothing, Heavenly Emperor, don't worry, it seems that he was delayed by other things."

Shui Rong nodded: "Can you contact him?"

Richi smiled and said: "Of course, we five gods and beasts have their own echoes in their hearts. Does the Emperor of Heaven want to call him?"

Shui Rong nodded and said, "Ask him, what happened to the Lotus Boy?"

Richi nodded, then closed his eyes, and after a while, Richi looked up at Shui Rong and said, "Yun Ao said that old man Li's son of a bitch has been rescued, and now he wants to find out who that lotus boy is." People, because he found that the lotus boy has the breath of a demon, and also has the breath of a royal king, so he may be a member of the royal family."

Shui Rong nodded after hearing this: "Then you tell him to be careful."

Ri Chi nodded, then closed his eyes again, opened them after a while and said, "He said he knew, and Yun Ao asked me to tell the Emperor of Heaven, please rest assured that you and the master, he will be fine, As long as we find out the devilish energy in that lotus boy, he will come back."

Shui Rong nodded, and Daiyu said aside: "If that's the case, Brother Rong, what shall we do? Wei Ruolan doesn't need our help, and Yun Ao doesn't need our help either. Are we just messing around here?" .”

Shui Rong laughed and said: "Stop talking nonsense, didn't Shandong suffer from a drought a while ago, why don't we go out and have a look, no matter what the sufferings of the people are, we still need to understand, what's more, we can also collect some information about corrupt officials. Evidence can also be used as preparations for dealing with corrupt officials in the future."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll change into going out clothes, let's go out."

Shui Rong nodded, and Daiyu entered the room with a smile to change her clothes. She quickly changed into a water-blue daisy-patterned long-sleeved beige, and Shui Rong put a cap on Daiyu herself, so she let out her anger.

Shandong is no better than Jiangnan, the weather seems a bit difficult for people to adapt to, Shui Rong looked at Daiyu worriedly: "Dai'er, can you adapt?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "I can't get used to it. Although the wind and sand are a little bit more, I have Weimao, so I'm not afraid. Just don't give me the big pancakes and green onions from Shandong."

Shui Rong laughed, then pulled Daiyu and said, "In this case, let's go to the teahouse to drink tea."

Daiyu nodded with a smile, and walked into the teahouse beside Shui Rong together. In fact, this teahouse was the teahouse that Shui Rong visited last time, but this time because Daiyu was there, Shui Rong found a private room, and it was upstairs. Therefore, it is also very hidden.

But after all, it is a tea house, and the so-called private rooms are only separated by screens, so the conversation downstairs and next to it can be heard clearly.

"I heard no, old man Li's grandson, Gou Wazi, was rescued." It was the man surnamed Zhang whom Shui Rong met last time who spoke.

"Really, this servant boy can still be released, isn't this Lianhua boy the kind of compassionate person?" someone said.

"What do you know?" The person surnamed Zhang said with a smile, "I heard that there was a sudden gust of wind, and then the son of a bitch was swept away, and after one roll, he was swept back to Old Man Li's house, so it was regarded as being rescued." gone."

"Is there such a strange thing?" The people on the side became curious.

The one surnamed Zhang said with a smile: "Can I lie to you about this kind of thing? I went to see that son of a bitch this morning, and his sanity is also very good. I guess I have not been harmed by that boy of the lotus flower." When I got here, I didn't realize it and said: "I hope that the strange wind will be better a few times, and it will save you trouble."

"That's right." Some people echoed in this way: "Since the appearance of the lotus boy, this Shandong has never had a peaceful life."

"It's not." Someone else echoed.

"Guest officers, please keep your voice down, and be careful not to have ears on the wall." Xiaoer came over and reminded.

The person surnamed Zhang said: "What are you afraid of? At worst, we will die. Now that we are living in such a useless way, it doesn't make much sense." The person surnamed Zhang seemed to be a little too enthusiastic. Daiyu frowned slightly, and then said softly: "Brother Rong, I think this Zhang is a bit strange."

Shui Rong smiled slightly and said: "That's right, the fact that the bastard came home was not publicized everywhere, how did he know about it, and, if you listen to what he said, it seems to be fighting against injustice at first, but more seems to be fanning the flames .”

Daiyu nodded: "I thought so too, so why don't Brother Rong ask someone to investigate him."

Shui Rong smiled, and then said: "I'll ask Comfort to investigate him later, no matter what, this kind of people with ulterior motives exist, it seems that we didn't come to the teahouse in vain." After speaking, he took another sip Tea.

Daiyu smiled, picked up the tea in her hand, gently lifted the veil of Weimao, drank it, and put it back on the table: "The Longjing tea at home is always better."

Shui Rong smiled slightly and said nothing, this Daiyu's mouth has always been very tricky, the Longjing in that family is Yuqian Longjing, there is not much in a year, but she likes to drink, now she is used to it, no wonder she would say such a thing.
