I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

Unbeknownst to Jun Huailang, the urgent letter from Dongchang had already been delivered to Xue Yan's desk yesterday.

The letter stated that Emperor Qingping had received the memorial submitted by Duke Yongning to Beijing, and had already begun to summon his ministers to discuss matters.

Jinling was hit by a disaster, so money, food and supplies were naturally sent. This is understandable, and there is no need to discuss it.What Emperor Qingping summoned his ministers to discuss was which official to send as the official in charge of the disaster to escort the supplies to the south.

Although Yongning Gong has a high status and outstanding ability, even if he is appointed on the spot, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, Duke Yongning had hereditary meritorious deeds. Now that Jinling was hit by a disaster, he handled the disaster and reported it in a timely manner.

At that time, he would not be able to justify in court whether he wanted to give the high-ranking officials of Duke Yongning a generous salary.

But if he is given a high official and generous salary, who knows if people's hearts will change?He is a descendant of meritorious deeds. If he has made great achievements, if he cultivates his own power and has a different heart, he will be much more difficult to deal with than those officials who have no foundation.

In order not to cause this trouble for himself, Emperor Qingping summoned his ministers as if he didn't know that Mr. Yongning was in Jinling, and discussed the arrangements for the officials who went south to be in charge of disaster relief in a serious manner.

As before, this time, in order to keep the old friends of Duke Yongning from knowing, Emperor Qingping still only found officials from the aristocratic family. Among the officials present, except for the neutral faction who was wise and safe, they were all members of the Xu family.

Everyone tacitly kept silent about the matter of Duke Yongning in Jinling, discussed for half a day, and elected a young official who had only risen in the court in the past few years.

Sure enough, it was from the Xu family.

When the candidate was finalized and the imperial decree was issued, Emperor Qingping allocated money and food, and asked the official to lead people to set off immediately to go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief.

The disaster relief team will start from Chang'an, head west all the way, and after entering Shandong, board a boat from the Yellow River, and transport grain and grass to Jinling along the canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

The waterway is smooth and fast, and there is no need to pass through various cities, states and counties, so it can save a lot of trouble, and it is difficult to do some secret deeds.

Therefore, as soon as Xue Yan thought about it, he knew that if they wanted to do something with the supplies, they would definitely do so before going to the waterway.

And the most convenient place is in Shandong, where cargo is unloaded and loaded.

Their mission was urgent, and when loading and unloading grain and grass, they were most likely to be in a hurry, and it was also best to use hands and feet.In addition, the new magistrate of Shandong is a member of the Xu family. After they transfer the money and grain of greedy ink, they can immediately deposit it in the treasury of Shandong, and then hand over the rest to Guo Rongwen. Sleep.

Those food, grass and silver can also disappear during the transportation process. When Jinling asks for money and food, they have thousands of ways to blame Yongning Gong and Shen Zhifu.

Xue Yan sat beside Jun Huailang, looked at his sleeping state, and thought for a moment.

He knew that these people had to preserve evidence and wait for the opportunity for the trivial things that these people did.However, if they take the risk and do such a life-and-death event...they need to catch the current situation and convict them on the spot.

After all, there is no name written on the silver and grain.If they waited until they sent the money and grain from the embezzlement to the Shandong treasury and mixed it with the original inventory in Shandong, it would be difficult to find evidence even if they wanted it.

What's more, what they did was to push Duke Yongning into a desperate situation.If he still stood still at this time, and the money and food could not be delivered to Jinling, then the urgent need would not be resolved, and Jinling would also be in great trouble.

From the beginning when they destroyed the dams and killed the scholars, and now they seized money and food, what they wanted was to cause chaos in Jinling, so that the officials of the Jiang family who came from civilians would be shaken.

Now those who come to Jiangnan have changed from officials of the Jiang family to Lord Yongning, so their arrangement is to kill Lord Yongning.

Xue Yan couldn't let their plans succeed.

Therefore, after receiving the imperial decree, he had to leave immediately for reasons of impatience, go to Shandong to meet him, and personally escort back the money and food allocated by Chang'an.

In this way, let alone ten days, he will not be in Jinling.

Although there are Jun Huailang's father and a large number of officials in Jinling City, Xue Yan is still worried.

The night was quite clear, with a bright moon hanging quietly in the sky.Xue Yan raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and thought about it.

In addition to the troops needed to rush into Shandong, he can also set aside a part of Jinyiwei to stay in Jinling to protect Jun Huailang's safety.Duan Shishi also wants to stay, Shandong alone is enough, there is nothing that Duan Shishi has to do...

As for Jin Bao, he would be more appropriate on weekdays, or he would stay there and take care of watching Jun Huailang's three meals a day and taking a nap...

At this moment, Xue Yan felt a slight movement on his shoulder.

He lowered his head, and saw Jun Huailang raised his hand, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"...How come I fell asleep." Jun Huailang's voice was a little hoarse, with the softness of not waking up, coupled with his cold voice, it sounded very seductive.

Xue Yan's stomach tensed involuntarily, causing him to pinch the soft flesh under his arm, and then he suppressed the sudden impulse.

He lowered his head and said, "Are you awake?"

Jun Huailang sat up and yawned before barely waking up.

"Perhaps I have been busy for too long in the afternoon." He said, and he was about to stand up and look under the embankment. "How? Have you finished finishing today?"

Even though the current river regulation and embankment projects are carried out step by step according to his arrangement, there will always be some mistakes in the process.Therefore, Jun Huailang stays here every day, always checking the progress and situation, and if there is a problem, he has to rush to solve it immediately.

Seeing that he went to take care of the embankment repairs as soon as he opened his eyes, Xue Yan was a little unhappy, and raised his hand to pull him back when he was half up.

"I'll look it up for you," he said. "It has been repaired, and the work has been closed, so I can go back now."

Jun Huailang responded, not doubting him, and sat back with peace of mind.

He looked up at the moon in the sky, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice: "It's hard work for you, too, spending so late here with me every day."

Xue Yan turned his eyes away with a cold face.

"I'm happy, it's not hard at all." He muttered softly.

The surrounding area was quiet, and there was no wind, only the lights on the construction site by the embankment were shining brightly.

These words easily fell into Jun Huailang's ears.

The child was so angry that Jun Huailang subconsciously wanted to laugh.But when he looked at Xue Yan, the smile was still on his face, but he couldn't turn his eyes away.

This person sat quietly by his side, not talking much, but the breath of sandalwood was lingering around his side.

Jun Huailang looked at him quietly for a while.

Xue Yan's appearance is particularly outstanding, and his whole body has a strong and sinister aura, which Jun Huailang knew from the first time he saw him in his previous life.

However, he never thought that such a person would quietly be by his side during this most difficult time.

Fate is too magical.

Xue Yan was staring at the lights under the embankment and pondering at the moment, when he felt Jun Huailang's gaze, he turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jun Huailang paused, then shook his head.

Xue Yan looked at him and said, "I'm leaving for a few days."

Jun Huailang was taken aback, then asked: "Where are you going?"

Xue Yan said: "The capital has already sent relief supplies, and Xu Xianghui will do it, so I have to go there myself."

After a pause, Jun Huailang understood everything.

"You mean, they will detain the supplies elsewhere?" Jun Huailang frowned. "The amount of money and food is fixed in the imperial decree. Why do they have the guts?"

So, in the previous life, until after his father's death, he didn't know where the greedy money and food were hidden. It turned out that it was because, long before the money and food came into his hands, others had already stolen them, and blamed him for unwarranted crimes. Father.

Xue Yan said: "It is indeed bold. However, the Xu family and the Jiang family have been fighting for too long, and their interests have been touched by Mr. Yongning, so they made this risky move."

When Jun Huailang heard this, he pondered for a moment.

After a while, he looked up at the sky and laughed at himself.

"Yes," he said. "If these actions of theirs are not discovered by you, it is indeed a risky but extremely careful plan."

After all, they belonged all the way from Chang'an to Jinling.They have the ability to cover the sky with one hand, even if they take precautions in advance, how can they resist it?

He lived a new life, and for more than a year, he has been cautious, trying to find clues from his father.However, there was a big net that engulfed them in early on. Even the founding fathers with empty names had no power in their hands, so what ability did they have to resist.

On the contrary, it was Xue Yan... Without Xue Yan, it would be hard for Jun Huailang to imagine what kind of consequences they would face in this life.

Hearing Jun Huailang's words, Xue Yan frowned involuntarily.

He could hear that Jun Huailang's tone was not quite right, seeing his expression at the moment made him flustered a little.

It made him want to hug him involuntarily and wrap him in his arms.

But he raised his hand a few times, but he didn't drop it after all. He just waited quietly by the side without saying a word.

After a while, he met Jun Huailang's gaze.

"... Xue Yan." He said suddenly.

Xue Yan quickly responded, "Huh?"

Jun Huailang opened his mouth, but made no sound.

He never knew that people could really accumulate so many feelings on one person.

Old enmity, love, and kindness, all of his current and heaviest feelings are all on Xue Yan alone.

There will be no second Xue Yan in the world.He wanted to run and hide, but he couldn't move at all, couldn't walk away.

His heart violated reason and conscience, and was pulling him, pulling him towards Xue Yan's side.

Jun Huailang couldn't make a sound, but Xue Yan was a little panicked.

"Don't think too much about it," he said. "I have arranged everything. You just wait for the news in Jinling. Didn't I say that? You don't have to do anything, just watch how those people die, that's enough."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jun Huailang.

Immediately, he and Jun Huailang's watery eyes collided.

For a moment, Xue Yan immediately understood the turbulent emotion in Jun Huailang's eyes, as if he had glanced into his heart.

Xue Yan's voice also paused.

Under the moonlight, the two looked at each other for a moment, and neither of them spoke for a while.

After a long time, just as Jun Huailang was running away, trying to look away and get up first, Xue Yan raised his hand, gently but firmly pressed the back of his head, forcing him to look back.

His tone was solemn and determined.

"Jun Huailang, you know that I like you, and you are the only one in my heart, I wish I could give you my whole life, that's enough."

"I don't force you to respond to me, I am always waiting for you." He said. "Don't be afraid."
