Wuxia has many small problems, but she never makes big mistakes.Those who can be reused by Liu Yueying must be very loyal people.

With her perfect tongue, Sha Yu got Wu Xia to agree to make special spices for him.

"Can you do me a favor?" After thinking carefully, he asked Sha Yu.

"Huh?" Lao Gao raised Sha Yu's eyebrows, as if he was surprised that I asked her to help.

"...I wrote it on a note."

She took the note and looked at it carefully for a while, looked up at me with thoughtful eyes, and shrugged her eyebrows again.

"Do you want to help?"

"Help, I just didn't expect that an idiot who didn't understand would do these things." Sha Yu rubbed the note in his hand, and the note instantly turned into powder and sprinkled on the ground, "Destroy the corpse for you , so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Hey, you promised so readily, why are you willing to help me? Just because of Master?" I really need her, but I still have a feeling of seeking skin from a tiger.

Sha Yu showed a bright smile, and laughed loudly: "I will help you, it has nothing to do with your master, it's just..."

Her hanging eyebrows stretched out: "It's just that you are worthy of my help. You gave me a good idea to take revenge on that barbarian, and this favor will be considered as a favor to you."

He took a deep look at her, hesitated to speak.

Sha Yu stayed for two days, but disappeared after getting the spices. I continued to handle official business in Qingzhou Mansion, and often went to the canal line to see the construction situation.

The first-line canal goes south from the middle of the Beitong River, just at the junction of Qingzhou and Cangzhou. This section of the road is flat, and it is not very strenuous to follow the mountain.

The construction of the canal has slowed down a lot, but the places that should be dug have all been formed, and the soil on both sides is dug out a little every day, and piled up inch by inch.

Looking at the mounds that are getting longer and higher, the first-line canal will be completed in less than a month.

However, these days, something is wrong.

I didn't go to the canal for field survey today. I stayed in Qingzhou Mansion to see things. When I had lunch, I always felt that the atmosphere was not right.Although those servants hid it well, they more or less revealed some strange feelings.

Where did it come from? Is it the eyes, or hesitating to speak, or keeping secrets?

Lunch was very slow today and I wanted to verify something.

After such a long time, I have accumulated a lot of experience, and my perception of danger has become more sensitive, although there is a little solemnity in the air-only one point, I also discovered it.

After lunch, instead of going to the West Wing to continue reading documents, he went to the main courtyard of Qingzhou Mansion.If there is no accident, the prefect of Qingzhou will definitely stay there.

Sure enough, she was seen talking with a group of staff in the main courtyard from afar, the voice was relatively loud and quite intense.

Even across a pond and three corridors, the voices of those arguments could faintly reach the ears.

I heard my name in the fierce voice.Those aides dared to call the prime minister by his first name.

"Prefect, this is a signal from the capital, we must respond!"

"Yes, there are some things that are not convenient to say in the capital, but flies don't bite eggs without cracks. Since this rumor has been spread, there must be a reason for it." What's the reason?I've always hated this sentence the most, it's so preposterous.

"It's better for us to lock up Yang Li, the criminal, and drag it on for fear of accidents."

Sure enough, my feeling was right.He walked forward with big strides, wanting to see what they were starting to do again.

"Prime Minister Yang, why are you here?" The prefect of Qingzhou saw me and came out to greet me with a smile on his face, "But I'm not used to living there, tell me, I'll let my servants change it!"

She has a different point of view from those of her staff, otherwise she wouldn't have been arguing for so long without a decision.

So he nodded slightly to her: "I thought of something, I came here and wanted to ask the prefect."

"What's the matter?" I walked into the main courtyard with her, and the atmosphere that was originally boiling over filled the sky instantly dropped to freezing point, as if being poured cold water over my head.

"I'm going to say it straight, it's what your staff, the prefect, said."

"Uh..." She was stuffed by me and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.I'm afraid I didn't expect that I would come to the main courtyard suddenly, and I don't know what I heard.

"Prime Minister Yang, since you know what's going on, you'd better take care of it yourself and don't make it difficult for us prefects." One of the staff in yellow-brown clothes had a bad tone.

"Shut up!" The prefect yelled at him with an uneasy expression. I was not angry, but wanted to ask the cause and effect clearly.

"Tell me, how can I do it myself?"

"Don't go to survey the Grand Canal anymore, stay in the prefect's mansion, it's best not to even leave the west wing room." The aide said confidently.

"Why did I do this, did the emperor condemn me?"

"Prime Minister, don't take them seriously..." The prefect smiled awkwardly.

Another staff member in a light blue robe stepped forward and spoke.

"Prefect, you'd better put her under house arrest, otherwise it will be difficult to explain in the future." The man turned his head to me, with the unique elegance of a scholar, but his words were not so pleasant: "Look at the prefect of my house. In terms of face, I still respect you as the prime minister; but you should know what you have done."

"That's right," another person said, "everyone knows about your relationship with the Nanman Guoshi; there were rumors in the early days that you colluded with the Northern Qiang to do the Hulukou incident. Many people don't believe it, because the emperor himself turned the story for you at that time. But now, there is another evidence from the capital."

"Last spring, the emperor fainted after coming down to court, and he was in a coma for five whole days. It was spread throughout the streets and alleys of Daxing that it was caused by Northern Qiang spies sneaking into the palace and drugging the emperor. Those who are not in the capital can only worry."

"Prime Minister Yang, the capital is now saying that you are the spy of the Northern Qiang plot."

He let out a long breath, hey, I thought it was a powerful method, is it still at this level?

Liu Yueying told me the truth about this incident clearly at the time, but now people have dug up the old accounts one after another and poured all the dirty water on my head. The intention is so obvious.

Hu Zhongli, ah, Hu Zhongli, you really understand the principle of three people becoming a tiger, but if you keep using this trick, you may be at your wit's end.

"Yang Li, you have colluded with the Northern Qiang and the Southern Man, what are your intentions? Are you worthy of being the prime minister of Daxing? You really failed the emperor's favor for you!" The yellow-clothed staff member was very excited. His gaze was all glued to me.

"You also said that these are all rumors. Anyone can fabricate these words without evidence." After understanding the logic, he said slowly, "The most important thing now is, is there any imperial decree from the emperor? Am I colluding with the Northern Qiang and the Southern Man?"

She is not by my side, so I should solve some problems by myself, otherwise what I, the prime minister, will do is too ugly.

Hearing this, the staff in light blue robes clearly showed hesitation in their eyes, and then said: "So until the truth is found out, it is best for Prime Minister Yang to stay in the West Wing."

"I see, it's more or less the same, the imperial decree will arrive soon." The aide in the yellow-brown robe answered angrily.

He has such a bad attitude and doesn't take people seriously. Although I am angry, I am sensible.The staff in yellow-brown robes were a bit extreme, but they had good intentions.The premise of his harsh words to me is that he believed that I had done something that betrayed the country and deceived the king, so he was so angry.

Such a person is utterly loyal, black and white, although stubborn, but easy to use.If it is handled properly and his political views are turned to one side, he will be a good voice in the court in the future.I need just such a person.

"What's your name?" He asked with a smile.

Seeing that I wasn't angry, he was surprised for a moment, but he straightened his back and replied: "If you don't change your surname, you don't change your name, that's true for Xiao Xiang."

Surname Xiao? "I remember that the champion Wu who was admitted to the imperial examination last year was also surnamed Xiao."

"That's right, I am his cousin. Brother is different from you. He fought against the Qiang people on the front line and killed the enemy bravely!"

Ignoring the second half of his sentence, he nodded.Was it the cousin of Wu Zhuangyuan who actually worked as an aide in Qingzhou?

is available.

The previous atmosphere was too tense, and I wanted to know about the weird atmosphere recently. Listening to the staff talking to each other, the Qingzhou prefect didn't interrupt.Now that all the words have been pointed out, the scene is cold.

The prefect looked at me with embarrassment, and tried to smooth things over: "Prime Minister, since the emperor didn't come over with an imperial edict, all these rumors don't matter; these staff members of mine are doing their best, and they are thinking of me. Don't..."

"It's okay, I know, I won't embarrass you." She gave me face like this, and she couldn't take away her kindness.

"The first-line canal will be open to navigation for more than a month. I'm not in a hurry. I just have nothing to do recently. It's good to just stay in the west wing to cultivate my body and mind. I need to trouble the prefect to pay more attention to the canal supervisor."

"Is that so, very good, very good." The prefect finally showed a comfortable smile.

The rumors outside seem to be spreading.Doing so is easy for everyone.

Hu Zhongli really took great pains to trample me to death, and brought up the old things from the past one after another.Even if I survived without losing my life, I must be notorious, and there will be no more reputation.

Noble literati and elegant guests often regard reputation as more important than life, and he seems to understand it quite well.

Unfortunately, he doesn't understand me.

I'm not a noble literati, so reputation is not too important to me—it's not as important as Liu Yueying's trust.

He is one of the most powerful and prestige in the capital, Liu Yueying can't speak for me for the time being, I understand it in my heart.

This front line project of the canal was ill-fated, and it eventually had to be suspended.The reason is simple-the Northern Qiang and the Southern Man attacked Daxing at the same time.

The past two days have been chaotic outside, no matter how you look at it, it seems that someone secretly planned it.

Qingzhou is the closest to the four towns in the north, and it bears the brunt of sending many people to the front line, either joining the army as a team, or transporting grain and cooking food in the rear.

The battle situation is urgent, and there are still manpower and supplies for the construction of the upper canal. Even if it can be repaired soon, it can only be stopped now.

I have nothing to intervene now, and the emperor has no news, so I can only stay in the West Wing and do nothing.

After being busy and tense for a long time, I suddenly relaxed and felt very bored.

The prefect knew that I like playing flute, so he specially sent me a good flute.When I held it in my hand, I realized that I hadn't touched it for four years, and my hand was raw.

In the past four years, he has been busy all day long, and even if he has a little spare time, he has spent it all with Liu Yueying, and there is no extra time to brag about it.

When I have nothing to do, I start to miss her.Missing is really a mysterious thing.

[I see, without Liu Yueying, there would be no comments, I know who everyone likes.Yang Ling: I am not worthy T_T]
