Sir, I can do it!

After several days of heavy rain, the sky finally cleared.Everyone seems to be holding back for a long time, today's Shengjing City is more lively than ever.

Wei Zhao called the coachman to set up the car early in the morning, first went to Qingshui Street in the west of the city to find Chen Da, and learned that there was no abnormal movement in Huichun Hall in the past two days, so he frowned and asked the coachman to change the route to Nanfu.

Guanshi Meng is now being held in the Nanfu Prison. Since he is not directly involved in the Meiyuan case, he must wait for the criminal department to finish sorting out the case file, or he will be picked up from Nanfu in a few days.If Meng Guanshi went to the prison of the Criminal Ministry, he would not be under their control.

Wei Zhao babbled his analysis to Changsun Ke.

Changsun Ke lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, and said, "Guan Meng is being imprisoned by me in a private prison."

"Private prison?"

"Well, the Nanfu private prison, no one can pick someone up from there except me."

Wei Zhao was stunned for a while, then slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "You already knew that there was something wrong with Meng Guanshi!"

"I just suddenly thought that the real owner behind Huichun Hall is Lu Zhan."

Wei Zhaocai squirted all the tea in his mouth, his eyebrows trembled in shock, and he raised his voice with staring eyes, "Lu Zhan!"

"My son slipped under the Lu family's father and son. It's really exciting."

"Haven't you thought about Xiaoxishan?" Changsun Ke asked him.

"Xiao Xishan? What about my elder brother? The case has been searched and searched and there is no clue at all, but it is still exhausting. I don't know what the Lu family is fighting..."

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Boss Meng!"

"That's right. The murder of the Lu family's nursing home in Xiaoxishan, we know that it was not the work of Wei Shizi, and judging from the situation at the time, it was not the work of the Lu family. But it happened at such an appropriate time, which shows that behind the scenes The people of Lu family and Wei family have counted them in. It's just that they still missed a little bit."

"Based on the methods of the Lu family, it is not difficult to create some evidence to accuse Wei Shizi, but they let the case stand still. Because they are waiting. When Guanshi Meng is taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they will either fish him out , or get rid of people directly, then the secret of Huichun Hall will never be known."

Wei Zhao slapped the table: "When Guanshi Meng is out of our control, Lu Zhan will not be threatened, and their Lu family will be able to frame my elder brother with Xiaoxishan! In this way, the person behind the scheme is related to my Zhenguohoufu I have a grudge."

Changsun Ke lowered his eyes and said, "It may not be a good thing that Wei Shizi is at home at the moment."

"You mean, they will try another trick if it fails? Could it be the one in the palace?"

"will not."

Wei Zhao glanced at him: "Are you so sure? Do you know who it is?"

Changsun Ke stopped talking.

Wei Zhao was upset: "You have something to hide from me!"

"I'm just guessing, there's no solid evidence."

Wei Zhao said flatly, "Whatever you say makes sense."

Changsun Ke handed him a candied fruit.Wei Zhao bit down with a groan, his teeth scraped his palms, and Chang Sun Ke felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.Seeing Wei Zhao wanting to swallow him and sipping on the candied fruit viciously, he couldn't help laughing again.

Wei Zhao was stunned for a moment, compared his hands at the corners of his mouth, and exaggeratedly said, "Have you noticed that you like to smile a lot recently?"

Changsun Ke pressed the corner of his mouth: "What about smiling, so what if you don't?"

"You look good when you smile, and you look good when you don't."

Changsun Ke nodded seriously: "I know."

Wei Zhao was stunned, he raised his finger and pointed: "You have changed..."

Zhan Yi poked his head outside the door, seeing the two of them chatting so harmoniously, he didn't know whether to go in or not.He couldn't figure out what his family's adults were thinking.

I still remember that when he came back from Zhen Guohou's Mansion, he specially told his lord that when he was recuperating in the Hou's Mansion, Miss Wei Er took care of him personally, and the lord should be rewarded.For example, Ms. Yueer enjoys flowers and swims in the lake.In the end, before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked out by the adults of his family, and he was also punished to be washed by the officials in the yamen!Clothes!Clothes!

But if it is said that the adults don't like Miss Wei Er, why are they so warm to the third son Wei, Zhan Yi scratched his not very bright head, and suddenly blessed his heart, could it be that his lord...

Changsun Ke obviously saw him, and shouted: "What are you doing sneakily, come in and say something."

Zhan Yi entered the room with a low eyebrow, and offered a bamboo tube with both hands: "My lord, Tongzhou Secret Letter."

Changsun Ke took out a note from the small bamboo tube, his eyes became sharp instantly.

"Beiyan's envoy team was robbed, and more than half of it was lost. The personal guards escorted Wan Yanzhen and Wan Yanhong to continue northward."

"Finally, I didn't lose my life." Wei Zhao felt that this was a blessing in misfortune.

Changsun Ke said: "It's raining in Qi State. The Beiyan envoys were blocked by the heavy rain and stayed in Tongzhou for many days. They were looted before halfway through the journey. I'm afraid the rest of the journey will not be safe."

Wei Zhao sneered: "That's right, as long as they have an accident in Qi State, the shameless Bei Yan will definitely settle the account on Qi State. From this point of view, we have to pray to God to bless them to return to Bei Yan safely and smoothly." What about Yan?"

Changsun Ke destroyed the note and ordered Zhan Yi: "Continue to investigate the situation of Beiyan's envoys. Also, arrange people in Tongzhou to find out who did it."

"Yes, my lord."

Li Huai also received news of the robbery of the envoy within three days. Without accident, he ordered Changsun Ke to investigate strictly.At this time, the team escorting Fuzhou officials also arrived in Shengjing City.

The courtiers felt that the knife hanging above their heads had dropped another inch, and the blade was against the skin, icy cold to the bone.

Today is Dong Yu's [-]-day memorial ceremony, so Mrs. Jiang told Wei Zhao that she would leave, and returned to Xiahe Village to pay homage to Dong Yu.Wei Zhao couldn't stay idle, and was thinking of going to the Xiaoxishan area to see if there was any suitable other garden, so he asked Mrs. Jiang to go with him.First send Mrs. Jiang to Xiahe Village, then take Huo Bao'er to Xiaoxishan.

There are not many other things in Shengjing City, but the rich and powerful are the most.The city is already full of land and gold, and it has expanded outside the city over the years.The price of land in Xiaoxishan has been soaring all the way, and it is hard to find a house, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

"Looking around, the location of the Lu family's villa is the best, and it occupies a large area. The Lu family is rich, and the decoration in the villa is exquisite, with countless strange stones and flowers."

"It's a pity that they don't sell it." Huo Bao'er stabbed it.

"The Bieyuan to the south is for sale, but the price is too high, and I'm not satisfied with it. The location is a little bit out of the way."

"A good position is also good for money." Huo Bo'er stabbed again.

"Hey, I said you did it on purpose, believe it or not, this young master will deduct your monthly money."

Huo Bao'er looked horrified: "No, young master, you are so insane that even Bao'er's monthly payment will be deducted!"

"Who made this young master poor?"

Huo Bao'er said: "Whoever is poor can't be poor for the young master, it's not just a Bieyuan, if the young master asks, the old matriarch and Lord Hou won't ignore it."

"How can I do that? I have to buy it with my own money to be sincere."

Huo Boer didn't say anything.

Wei Zhao had a festival with Lu's family, and it happened that Lu Zhan came out from the other garden, so Wei Zhao took Huo Bao'er to hide aside.It's not that he's afraid of the Lu family, it's just that he doesn't want to argue about that.Wei Zhao was still chattering about his plans, when Huo Bao'er's voice suddenly disappeared.He turned his head and saw Huo Bao'er drooping his head, unable to see clearly.

He yelled at Huo Bao'er: "Master, I'll just say it casually, my Bao'er is so cute, how can I deduct your monthly payment."

Huo Bao'er suddenly regained consciousness, the gloomy look on his face disappeared instantly, and he said aggrievedly: "Thank you so much, young master."

After wandering around for a long time, I didn't see any suitable ones, so I didn't waste any time and went back home.Because Mrs. Jiang wanted to stay at home for one night, the master and servant did not go to Xiahe Village, but went directly to the city via the official road.

I met a large number of refugees on the road.They fled from Weinan all the way, and when they arrived in the capital, they were already dressed in rags, their eyes were numb from hunger, and only when they saw food would they burst out with a terrible light.

Because there were too many refugees, the way into the city was blocked, and the gatekeepers were rushing to the city to report to the Gyeonggi Guards.Not long after, the Gyeonggi guards stopped the refugees with knives and drove them away.The refugees retreated from the city gate, and the people who were blocked outside the city entered the city.

Wei Zhao watched the excitement for a while, and suddenly sucked his lips: "Bao'er, have you noticed that there are old and young, men and women among the refugees, but young women are rarely seen."

Huo Baoer looked at it for a while, and it was true.He thought for a while, and said: "It is difficult for refugees to survive, maybe they sold the young woman halfway in order to change their stutter."

Wei Zhao said: "But there are still many strong young men among them. If we talk about buying people, young and strong men should be more popular."

Huo Bao'er scratched her head: "Maybe they just want to buy a girl."

Wei Zhaosheng lives in the prosperous Shengjing, although he can see beggars every day, but this is the first time he sees a large number of refugees.

Huo Bao'er asked him: "Master, how will the people of the Gyeonggi Army deal with these refugees?"

Wei Zhaodao: "They have no right to dispose of them, they can only drive them away. Before the order from the palace is issued, they can't make trouble for the refugees." He sighed: "It has been more than 20 days since the Fuling Weir burst, and there are still a large number of refugees. Resettlement. I want to know how terrible the situation in Weinan will be."

"However, in this year's exam, the emperor accepted a lot of children from the common clan. Now that Weinan officials are escorted to Beijing, there will be a bloody storm in the court. Those children from the common clan will definitely make some achievements to gain a foothold if they have the opportunity. The arrival of refugees in Beijing just gave them a chance."

Taking the exam this year, Li Huai suddenly added a palace exam, which caught the proud aristocratic family by surprise.However, among those who passed the grand examination and entered the palace examination, seven out of ten were born in noble families.So after the aristocratic family panicked, they quickly settled down.It's just that they didn't expect that Li Huai would rather not choose the son of a nobleman regardless of the face of the nobleman.In the end, the children of the common people who were selected into the court were equal to the children of the nobles.And there is a faint overwhelming trend.

Among those who failed the election, many were from Weinan nobles.If Li Huai hadn't pushed too hard, Fulingyan might still be able to survive this rainy season.

Although Wei Zhao didn't agree with Li Huai's method of eagerly forcing the nobles to submit, he even hated the nobles who took the lives of the common people to make up for their own interests.The cycle of cause and effect is clear.Such a noble family no longer deserves to exist.Weinan was a mess, and he suddenly wanted to see how Li Huai sorted out the mess.

The carriage drove into the city. Compared with the miserable refugees outside the city, the city was still prosperous.The disaster in Weinan did not affect the life in Beijing, and the peacefulness was still a scene of peace and prosperity through singing and dancing.

"Ah, isn't that Miss Er and Miss Qin?" Huo Bao'er pointed at the two girls who came out of Zhenbao Pavilion, her eyes were bright.Everyone in the family said that the Second Young Master's wedding is coming soon, and it seems to be true.

Wei Zhao poked his head over and saw that it was indeed Wei Shuhua and Qin Zheng. Seeing that they had a happy conversation, it seemed that they played together a lot in the past.

"Second Sister!" Wei Zhao waved at her.

Wei Shuhua's eyes lit up, and she dragged Qin Zheng to the front of Wei Zhao's car in three steps and two steps, stretched out her palm and said confidently: "Lend me some money."

Wei Zhao's smile froze for an instant, and he rolled his eyes at Wei Shuhua: "No money. Bao'er goes home!"

Wei Shuhua grabbed his sleeve: "Azhao, why are you so stingy? It's not that I won't pay you back."

Wei Zhao glanced at her, and hummed, "It's not impossible to borrow, you have to pay interest."

Wei Shuhua was stunned: "Azhao, it's only ten taels of silver, why don't you!"

Wei Zhao nodded fiercely: "I want to save money to support my family."

Wei Shuhua glanced at him suspiciously: "Could it be some girl you've fallen in love with?"

Wei Zhao said, "Anyway, you have to pay interest."

Wei Shuhua pursed her lips: "Then you write the IOU."

Wei Zhao slid back into the carriage, picked up a pen and wrote an IOU, and asked Wei Shuhua to sign it.Wei Shuhua was stunned when she saw that it said ten cash a day for interest.

"Azhao, you are poor and crazy!"

Wei Zhao squinted at her: "Do you want to borrow love?"

Wei Shuhua was ruthless: "I will pay it back as soon as possible!"

After getting the guarantee, Wei Zhao put away the IOU in satisfaction, and said, "Second Sister, send Miss Qin back as soon as possible after shopping, there are many refugees gathered outside the city, if any fish that slipped through the net enters the city, it would be bad to scare you all." gone."

"Refugees from Weinan?"

Wei Zhao nodded.

Wei Shuhua said: "I see, you should go back earlier, I will take Miss Qin back home after I buy something."

Qin Zheng looked away from the carriage that was going far away, and said with a smile: "It's quite interesting that your siblings get along."

Wei Shuhua was a little embarrassed and said: "Azhao was very generous in the past, and I don't know what kind of madness he has, but he dared to ask me for interest. I think he is itchy."

Wei Zhao, who had gone far away, couldn't help but tremble twice, always feeling that someone was plotting against him.
