Qingzhou is a town adjacent to Suzhou, and it is also the place where the losses were the most serious in this flood.This place has been plagued by bandits all year round, and the people are in dire straits. Since the young general Liu Cheng was tired of serving as the governor of Suzhou and came to Jiangnan to suppress the bandits, it has improved a lot.

However, in this flood, none of the official money allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief was distributed. The victims could not receive assistance. | Chaos.

Although Ruan Mingyu was trapped in Yangcheng for a few days, she finally arrived in Qingzhou two days before the crown prince.

Hundreds of people protested against handing over Liu Chengyan to the Qingzhou government office for a leak.Ruan Mingyu walked out calmly with a tired face amidst the scolding of the dog officials, stood in front of the government office and comforted the common people, then pushed through the crowd and entered the government office.

As early as a few days ago, the minister of the Ministry of War had led the soldiers of the Suzhou government to rectify Qingzhou, but the people's grievances still persisted, and the chief culprit, Liu Chengyan, had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Qingzhou government for several days.

"Master Ruan."

The two servants of the Ministry of War finally waited for the person in charge to arrive, saluted hastily, and hurriedly told Ruan Mingyu what had happened.Before Ruan Mingyu had time to sit on the hot stool, he slapped the table angrily again, "Liu Cheng hates to confess? What does he mean? Has the court ordered him to eat or drink? Have you never seen silver?"

Chen Shilang looked bewildered, Master Ruan, what does this mean?It's not like he was filled with righteous indignation in front of the court that day, but he looks like he hates iron for being weak.

Ruan Mingyu bit her lower lip, and after a while, said, "Where is he locked up? I'll go and have a look."

In the messy but firm prison cell, that heroic and extraordinary man sat by the dim wall. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't notice when someone came. He knew that the jailer had unlocked the prison door and bowed his waist to invite the adult to come in.

"Master Ruan, please."

Liu Chengyan paused for a moment, still lowered his head, but his movements became obviously stiff.The snow-white hem was in sight, but Liu Chengyan couldn't raise his head to look at it.

Ruan Mingyu's complexion was as frosty, and the formula was cold and hard, "Liu Chengyan, on the fifth day of May, the imperial court sent 50 official silver to relieve the disaster, but the people have not seen a penny, and the food order is not near. I ask you, the official bank Where did it go?"

Liu Chengyan opened his mouth, he hadn't washed it for a few days, new stubble had grown on his lips and chin, he looked a little bit old, he lowered his head, and replied dryly: "I'm the one who corrupted, I've admitted it a long time ago, no need Ask again."

Ruan Mingyu asked again, and paused every word: "I'm asking where is the official bank?"

Liu Chengyan raised his head slowly, facing that familiar face that was so indifferent to unfamiliar, his eyes rolled, he turned his eyes sideways and whispered: "I used it."

Ruan Mingyu raised the corners of her lips, and said with a sneer, "It's only been a month since the incident happened, and you haven't gone anywhere except disaster relief. Where can you use that official money?"

Liu Chengyan lowered his head and remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on the hem of the man's white and spotless clothes.

Ruan Mingyu suddenly became angry, and pinched Liu Chengyan's chin to force him to look up. Furong's face was full of anger, and her eyes were full of anger and resentment, "Liu Chengyan, it's not the first day I know you, when will you tell the truth? When you tell a lie, I know exactly what kind of expression you will have! Do you dare to look me in the eyes and say it again, you have violated your own heart and engaged in such despicable activities as corruption? You should remember , do you have a younger brother? Do you want him to see his elder brother, the hero in his eyes is actually such a person?"

Liu Cheng frowned and looked at Ruan Mingyu, sarcastically, "How do you know my true heart? I did this. I do it alone, and it has nothing to do with other people."

Ruan Mingyu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me..." Ruan Mingyu clenched her fists tightly as she let go of Liu Chengyan, and laughed at herself: "You are you, and you are still the same, you never care about others when you do things. view."

Liu Chengyan pursed his lips and remained silent, his face was not very good-looking.Ruan Mingyu brushed off her sleeves, and her tone returned to calm, "I also said that as long as you make a mistake one day, I will not care about the old friendship, and will personally come to collect debts from you."

Liu Cheng's eyes widened in disgust, but he didn't dare to look at Ruan Mingyu.

Ruan Mingyu turned and went out, and ordered: "I see that Mr. Liu seems to be very anxious to protect someone. Since he is unwilling to tell the truth, let Mr. Liu calm down for a few more days."

He called Liu Chengyan Master Liu, which represented his attitude, and the people below should not neglect Liu Chengyan.After Ruan Mingyu finished speaking, she walked away without looking at him again.

There was a thunderstorm overnight, the sky was dark, and there was a rumbling sound, which was very scary.

Xiao Qing and his party had no choice but to rest overnight in the ruined temple in the mountains. As the crown prince, this was the first time they lived in such a crappy place. Xiao Ling looked at it complainingly, and followed Mo Xin to eat all the tofu in the name of protecting him. .Mo Xin was so annoyed that she wanted to hide beside Tang Tang, but found that Tang Tang had already fallen asleep leaning on Xiao Qing's shoulder, so she had to hang her head and sulk.

A loud thunder exploded, and Tang Tang woke up suddenly. The flames were blown by the wind and turned on and off. In front of him was an Arhat with a broken arm. His ferocious face was particularly frightening. Tang Tang shivered.Being patted on the back gently, Tang Tang looked up, Xiao Qing thought he was having a nightmare, and was hugging him to comfort him.

Xiao Qing's clear eyes reflected the light of the fire, flickering like a pool of deep water, with stars floating in them, but there was only one person in his eyes.

Tang Tang's heart was warm, and he was about to say something when suddenly his face turned pale, he wrinkled his face tightly, and pushed Xiao Qing away with his chest.

Xiao Qing tightened his arms and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Tang Tang didn't know what was going on, just a sudden colic in his chest, but it disappeared quickly, he took a breath, and said: "It's okay, just a little bored." After speaking, he fell back into Xiao Qing's arms weakly, leaning on his shoulder He squinted his eyes halfway, and said softly, "I may be too tired these two days..."

I don't know if it was because the fire was too dim, but Tang Tang actually saw two blushes on Xiao Qing's face, staring at him intently, Xiao Qing coughed twice, hugged Tang Tang's shoulders tightly, "If you are tired, sleep for a while."

Tang Tang couldn't help but chuckle, Prince, are you shy?But he lost his sleepiness, and struggled to get up, "I'm not sleepy anymore, and I slept in the carriage for a long time."

Xiao Qing pulled him up and sat up a little bit, but he didn't intend to let go. His hands gradually moved down, holding the slender waist, and rubbing it gently.Tang Tang didn't know the joyful expression on his face that he couldn't hide. He just felt that there seemed to be something different after the night before, but he couldn't tell.

The sore waist was relieved a little, Tang Tang squinted his eyes to enjoy it for a while, and then remembered the business, pushed Xiao Qing's hand, telling him not to press it any more. "Your Highness, why are you rushing to Qingzhou in such a hurry?"

After waiting for a while for the prince to answer, Tang Tang was a little disappointed, maybe the prince didn't trust him enough.

At this moment, Xiao Qing said, "A month ago, Liu Chengyan wrote me a secret letter. When he was suppressing bandits in Qingzhou, he found a secret letter from the palace."

Tang Tang opened his eyes wide when he heard the words, curiously waiting for Xiao Qing to continue.

Xiao Qing looked around, except for a few guards who were on duty outside the door, Xiao Ling and Mo Xin were cuddling each other and sleeping soundly, and then continued: "The secret note vaguely mentioned the big exchange of blood among the court officials two months ago. , ordinary people don't talk about these things."

"That Qingfengzhai may be just a contact station for transmitting information, and the person behind the scenes at the other end is most likely the eldest brother. He thought it was strange, so he went to investigate further. However, before the conclusion came, he was exposed Charged with corruption. I think it's different."

That's why Xiao Qing came here in person, not only for his friends who grew up together, but also to find out who the mysterious person in the palace who communicated with the gangsters in Qingzhou was.It also involved the eldest prince Xianwang, Xiao Qing's elder brother.

Although King Xian was cut off from the possibility of ascending the throne, he must have resentment and wanted revenge.Then the person in the palace who helped to communicate with him should be a high-ranking person. Who is that person?

If it is said that Liu Chengyan's corruption was exposed because he discovered the secret letter between King Xian and the mysterious person, then Xiao Qing's accusation of lax supervision and ineffective handling of affairs may also be part of the other party's plan.

The more he thought about it, the more frightening he became. Tang Tang's scalp became numb and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

At first, I thought that Xiao Che was going to use the right time and place to mess with Xiao Qing, but I didn't expect to pull out a king Xian and a mysterious person in the palace. Then every step they take now may be in the plan of the other party, even Danger!

Xiao Qing knew what Tang Tang was thinking without looking at it, touched his head, pressed it on his shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, this matter is too complicated, I will find out."

Seeing that Tang Tang was still going to speak, Xiao Qing said decisively: "Don't persuade me, if someone in the palace really intends to misbehave, I can't ignore the safety of my father. If someone dares to bring this matter to the court and sue me, Rong Hua can't keep me either. I left the palace and diverted their attention, not only can I find out who is behind the scenes, but I can also save Liu Chengyan."

Tang Tang thought for a while, then said in surprise: "Then Ruan Mingyu... He went to Qingzhou, Liu Chenggan will be fine, right?" In a hurry, he almost said Xiao Che, but luckily he reacted quickly enough.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qing smiled lightly, making Tang Tang dazed, "Don't worry, with Ruan Mingyu here, Liu Chengyan will be safe."

Could it be that Ruan Mingyu is also from Xiao Qing?No, it was Ruan Mingyu who sued Liu Chengyan and Xiao Qing that day.

Curiosity is curiosity, Tang Tang also believes that Xiao Qing's words are credible.The chest was still a little stuffy, Tang Tang obediently leaned on Xiao Qing's shoulder, and sighed: "Your Highness trusts me so much, I also want to share His worries."

Xiao Qing took Tang Tang's hand and said with a smile: "No, you're fine now."

Tang Tang felt drowsy, and looked at Xiao Qing's rare smile with his eyelids open, as if he had left the palace, this was the third time he saw Xiao Qing smile.Unable to hold on anymore, Tang Tang nestled on Xiao Qing's shoulder and fell asleep again.

Xiao Qing shook his head and laughed, scratched the tip of Tang Tang's delicate nose, and hugged him tightly.

Suddenly, Mo Xin scolded and slapped Xiao Ling. Mo Xin woke up from a dream and found that Xiao Ling was too close. When she got angry, she slapped her, "Stinky rascal, take advantage of me!" ,Go to hell!"

Xiaoling woke up with a dazed face, clutching her red and swollen cheek, wanting to cry without tears, "Obviously you came here by yourself, blame me..."
