Yangcheng

Tang Jianwei could not be found anywhere.

Classes have already ended, the people in the academy have almost left, and Tong Shaoxuan is still anxiously looking for her on the mountain.

The three of Ge Xunqing and the others also helped to find it, but when they searched around and returned to the gate of the academy, there was still no sign.

Seeing that Tong Shaoxuan was in a hurry, Ge Xunqing comforted her and said, "Sister-in-law is such a grown-up, and she has a lot of ideas. She probably didn't have time to tell you about something she was going to do. Will you go home first?"

Tong Shaoxuan's eyes were still searching the dark forest: "No, she will tell me when I go home first, and she won't leave without a word."

"Then did she say what to do?"

"Said to find someone." Tong Shaoxuan said anxiously, "But he didn't say who to find."

On a rainy day, Tang Jianwei could not be found, and Tong Shaoxuan felt as if his heart was on fire, worried and anxious.

Shi Ruzhuo drilled into the woods, quickly searched around and came out, but there was no sign of Tang Jianwei, she held a thick branch in her hand and said:

"Why don't we look at the back mountain? It's just over there."

Tong Shaoxuan's eyes were red, and he wiped away the tears while wiping the rain on his face:

"I'll go by myself, the back mountain is too dangerous."

Shi Ruzhuo refused: "No, we want to go together because of the danger."

Bai Erniang also said: "The back mountain is indeed not safe. What if you go to find Sister Tang and Sister Tang is not there? If you are in danger, if you go alone, no one will come out to ask for help. "

Ge Xunqing didn't give Tong Shaoxuan a chance to speak again, and pulled her: "If you want to go early, go quickly, and if you go late and wait until the sky is completely closed, and it rains harder, it will be even more difficult to find someone. .”

With the comfort and company of his friends, Tong Shaoxuan calmed down a lot.

The four of them headed to the back mountain with the determination to open up mountains and fill the sea, but they didn't expect to meet Tang Jianwei and Dong Chongling on the way.

The four were very surprised to see that these two were together.

Tong Shaoxuan immediately ran over, blocked Tang Jianwei behind him, and looked at Dong Chongling warily.

Seeing how nervous she was, Tang Jianwei also knew that it took a lot of time to wade through the water when he came out of the back mountain. He probably couldn't find anyone for the child, and he was in a hurry right now.

Tang Jianwei patted her waist lightly to indicate that he was fine, then touched her back to relieve her tightness.

Tong Shaoxuan looked back at Tang Jianwei, his eyes were red, and his aggrieved appearance was really painful.

Seeing the love and understanding between the two, Dong Chongling felt even more upset, so he "hummed" forcefully, left without saying anything.

Ge Xunqing and the others were all ready to "escort", but they didn't expect this difficult Mrs. Dong to leave so easily... It's really not like her crazy style in the past.

Tang Jianwei was Tang Jianwei, and he punished Dong Chongling as soon as he took action.

Ge Xunqing was very curious about what Tang Jianwei did, and wanted to go up and ask lively, but Tang Jianwei hugged Tong Shaoxuan, and softly comforted her in her ear, saying:

"It's okay, don't you think I'm fine?"

Tong Shaoxuan didn't say anything, just leaned on her shoulder, venting his anxiety silently.

……

When a group of people walked down the stone steps of the academy, the torrential rain subsided a little. Tang Jianwei held Tong Shaoxuan on his arm the whole time, and stayed with her every step of the way. He told everyone about Dong Chongling.

Ge Xunqing exclaimed: "Wonderful, in this way, then Dong Chongling really went to Boling to find true love? From now on, she will never harass Chang Si again!"

Tang Jian smiled and said nothing.

Tong Shaoxuan listened to the whole process, and whispered: "Why do I feel that Dong Chongling was tricked by you?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Tang Jianwei's rhetorical question did not have any doubts at all. It was obvious that he already had the answer in his heart, and he was just waiting for Tong Shaoxuan to expose her.

"It goes without saying that you pointed her to Boling on purpose. With Dong Chongling's straight-forward temperament, he can only walk sideways in Su County. When she arrives in Boling, her long-time chief Aye will not be able to protect her. If you walk around Boling with this foolish and reckless personality, I'm afraid you will be swallowed up by monsters like you."

Tang Jianwei was in a good mood and didn't mind Tong Shaoxuan's teasing at all:

"Yeah, there are monsters like me everywhere in Boling, but I don't know if anyone wants to swallow her. What's more, I pointed her to a clear path. If she stays in Angzhou, she may never I will never grow up, and I will never have what I want. If I go to a bigger place, even if I am beaten and suffer, maybe I will reap happiness in the end? I just gave a direction, the road She still decides which direction she wants to go, doesn't she?"

When Tang Jianwei was in a good mood, he said everything in the same tone, and there was an air of mastery in his relaxation, which made it even more difficult for Tong Shaoxuan to distinguish whether her words came from the heart or irony.

"I can't say no to you." Tong Shaoxuan automatically surrendered.

Tang Jianwei let out a "huh": "There are rare times when we are quick to admit defeat to Ah Nian."

"...What are you talking about, Ah Nian, who told you to call me random nicknames?"

"Praise you, don't you have a quick mouth?"

Tong Shaoxuan automatically thought wrongly, thinking of his performance when he and Tang Jianwei were intertwined, he could indeed praise him quickly.

Tang Jianwei was still waiting for her to continue to refute, and the two of them were arguing to the door of the house. Unexpectedly, Tong Shaoxuan accepted the title happily, and had no intention of continuing to refute at all.

Tang Jianwei: "?"

Unexpectedly, Dong Chongling was still a person who acted extremely quickly. On the second day, she heard that she was going to move out. On the third day, Ge Xunqing said that Dong Chongling had already gone to Boling.

Tong Shaoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and found a chance to tell Tang Jianwei about it during the shooting class in the afternoon.

Tang Jianwei: "I can't tell, he is a neat person."

Tong Shaoxuan put his hands behind his back and dangled in front of Tang Jianwei.

"What's wrong?" Tang Jianwei asked her, "Reluctance?"

If there were no classmates not far away, Tong Shaoxuan would definitely jump up and chew on Tang Jianwei:

"Which eye of yours can't bear to see me?! Is there anyone who wronged a good person like you?"

"Then what are you hanging around here for?"

"I……"

Tong Shaoxuan was a little embarrassed.

Facing Dong Chongling this time, her attitude was very firm, but this was the first time she encountered such a thing, she felt aggrieved for some reason, and wanted Tang Jianwei to appease her.

But the academy is full of classmates here, and she has already caused a lot of booing when she came to talk with Mr. Tang alone. If she is so blatant and coquettish, what's the point?

Conflicted in his heart, he walked around Tang Jianwei stopping and stopping, hesitant to speak.

Tang Jianwei knew what she was thinking a long time ago, but he just didn't give it to her, and he was very happy to see her stupid appearance.

"Huh?" Not only did Tang Jianwei not give it, but he continued to tease her with a smile.

Tong Shaoxuan lowered his head angrily, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going back..."

Just as she was about to leave, Tang Jianwei patted her head and said, "Our Ah Nian has performed very well this time, and we will not let go of our love for Madam in the face of temptation. We will continue to maintain it in the future."

Tong Shaoxuan immediately raised his head like a little rabbit, the face that was still covered with clouds just now was already sunny and shy.

Tong Shaoxuan took the opportunity to say: "Then, can I have a reward tonight?"

Tang Jian smiled charmingly: "Yes, yes, yes. What Ah Nian wants, Ah Shen will give."

Tong Shaoxuan's face turned red, and his mind was baptized by countless scenes that should not be watched by others. He didn't even dare to stay by Tang Jianwei's side anymore, and walked away with his head down.

Tang Jianwei watched her blend into the classmates, and couldn't help thinking about her expression just now.

It's so cute you want to bite right away.

This time Tong Shaoxuan's performance really made Tang Jianwei feel safe, A Nian was not someone who would be easily seduced.

But having said that, this Dong Chongling's methods are inferior, and he is not liked by others. He is completely incomparable with those women from aristocratic families who are familiar with Tang Jianwei in Boling.

When he arrives in Boling in the future, Tong Shaoxuan will only face more and stronger temptations. I only hope that she will always keep her heart...

Tang Jianwei looked tenderly at the laughing and happy faces of Tong Shaoxuan and his friends.

— Only love me.

In the evening, the sky was fine, and when the class was over, I walked to the gate of the academy, and found Hu Erlang and another yamen servant standing here waiting.

Seeing Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan, he walked straight towards them:

"Two, County Magistrate Ruan is here to invite you, please follow me to the county government office."

Tang Jianwei said in his heart, the one who should come always came, but it was much slower than expected. He thought that the county magistrate Ruan would pass on the two of them as soon as he came to Su County, but he didn't expect to wait for so many days to find him.

What Tang Jianwei and the others don't know is that Ge Gong has been hiding it for them these days.

At the beginning Tang Jianwei used the stolen money from the Zhongyi Temple to buy the golden rice from the Hu merchants. Although Ge Gong didn't know where the two of them got so much cash and didn't ask, he still took it to heart.

When the magistrate Ruan came to Su County, in addition to investigating She Yongming's death, he immediately visited the victims, counting the relief funds, grains and medicines, and naturally found this unusual golden rice.

This county magistrate Ruan was from Boling, and he was originally one of the three divisions under the Yushitai—the censor of the Taiyuan, a sixth-rank official.

The main functions of the Shi Yushi are to push the prison lawsuit, impeach the officials, the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and the chief judge of the internal chores, which can be described as the humerus of the court.

After reading the appointment letter of Ruan County Magistrate, Ge Gong was quite shocked.

To be able to directly transfer a censor from Yushitai to serve as the magistrate of Laisu County. It seems that the court attaches great importance to the death of She County Magistrate and vows to find out the truth.

County magistrate Ruan was ninety-nine in his thirties and had extensive knowledge. He immediately recognized that the rice for disaster relief was extremely expensive golden rice.

Ge Gong didn't talk about the origin of these golden rice, but only said that the granary in the county was opened. He thought it was ordinary grain storage, so he used it to help the victims. He also couldn't figure out why he put such expensive rice in the public warehouse.

County Magistrate Ruan asked tirelessly, but Ge Gong didn't say anything, so County Magistrate Ruan sent someone to inquire among the victims, and they found out about Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan.

When Ruan county magistrate heard these two names, he was thoughtful, and immediately asked Hu Erlang to call these two.

On the way Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan bumped their heads together and whispered all the way, Hu Erlang knew what these two clever ghosts were planning again, so he was a little relieved.

This new Mr. Ruan is really vigorous and resolute. He doesn't need to sleep all day to investigate cases, even with Hu Erlang and these yamen servants, he can't rest.

Hu Erlang was afraid that her two young ladies would suffer, so when he got off the carriage, he deliberately avoided his eyes and ears, and told them that the county magistrate Ruan should be asking about the rice for disaster relief.

The two of them saluted Hu Erlang with a smile. They seemed to have a well-thought-out plan and knew how to deal with it, so they entered the county government office without hesitation.

Walking into the courtyard where She County Magistrate used to live, I found that the former "Xianlaiju" has now changed its horizontal plaque, with three big characters "Suyezhai" written on it.

It is very likely that the county magistrate Ruan personally carried it. Looking at it, I feel like I have got up to work, very tired and sleepy...

The door of the room was open, and before they could knock on the door to signal, Magistrate Ruan walked out quickly by himself, almost bumping into the two of them.

"I said why I haven't been waiting for anyone for a long time! Come in!" County magistrate Ruan spoke urgently and quickly, and he seemed to be impatient.

Saying that he is nearly forty years old, it doesn't look obvious at all, but he is more in line with his appearance when he just arrived in his thirties.

County magistrate Ruan was tall, a head taller than Tong Shaoxuan.

As soon as he heard his voice full of vigor and steady feet, Tang Jianwei understood that this Ruan county magistrate should not be a simple civil servant, but should have a foundation in martial arts, but a very authentic image of a high-ranking Boling official, more in line with his Ruan family status.

"What the hell happened to the golden rice?"

Ruan County Magistrate didn't say any polite words, and he didn't even talk about the etiquette at first sight. After closing the door, none of the three sat down, so he couldn't wait to start asking.

Seeing that he is so aggressive and clearly wants to know, but he only came to Su County after so many days, presumably someone should have helped cover him before.

Who else but Ge Gong?

Tong Shaoxuan quickly figured this out, and saluted Ruan County Magistrate:

"Of course it is consistent with what Ge Gong said."

Magistrate Ruan waved his sleeves annoyedly: "Don't talk to me about these scenes! Who would put such an expensive thing in the public warehouse? Is there something wrong with my brain? Tell me, what's going on!"

County magistrate Ruan looked very fierce, he would probably be punched in the ground with a fist, but Tong Shaoxuan was not afraid of him at all.

Perhaps it was because his accent was very similar to Tang Jianwei's, which made Tong Shaoxuan feel a sense of intimacy.It is also possible that the county magistrate Ruan looks fierce, but in fact he is completely different from She Yongming, with an upright personality. It can be seen that he really came to Su County to do practical things.

Tong Shaoxuan smiled and said nothing, let's see how the county magistrate Ruan will start the situation again.

When Magistrate Ruan spoke again, it was when they had the upper hand.

Tang Jianwei stood aside, deliberately not speaking, just to see how Tong Shaoxuan handled this matter alone.

Up to now, Tong Shaoxuan has behaved very steadily, neither fearful nor impatient, and even handled the new county magistrate very well.

Although County Magistrate Ruan has become a little more irritable, it is impossible for him to be able to climb up to the position of servant censor in vain.

When he didn't get a response, his eyes flicked over the faces of Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei, and after carefully considering their expressions, he slowed down and said:

"She Yongming is the illegitimate son of She Zhiye, the servant of the Ministry of War. He entered the officialdom under the shadow of his family and was already 32 years old when he became an official. At the beginning when he came to Su County, there was no wind and no waves everywhere. It was four years later that the disaster in Suichuan broke out. Now that I think about it, the people behind the scenes have already planned, which can be said to be well thought out."

County magistrate Ruan was not in a hurry anymore, he sat on the Hu chair and drank the first tea of ​​the day.

The hot tea entered his throat, moistening his dry throat, and there was an indescribable comfort.

Tang Jianwei is very sensitive to the word "Suichuan".

It was the Suichuan military capital case that implicated her, Aye.It is said that her Aye's death was due to embezzlement of Suichuan's frontline military funds, killing many soldiers.

Tang Jianwei suppressed the urge to know the truth urgently and looked at County Magistrate Ruan.

Magistrate Ruan was also looking at them, and continued to drink tea while saying:

"The resume of She Yongming before he entered the official position was very simple. He only helped with odd jobs in the She family's property. For 32 years, he worked hard and never went to school. All his knowledge was taught by private tutors and staff. He never fought or fought. Who ever had a quarrel, never said they were relatives. However, there are still travel records. This person only went to Dongchun, which is the closest to Boling Mansion, at the farthest point, and traces of his contacts can be found in Dongchun. He didn't even make a home. He is really a good and loyal dog who only works for the She family. She Yongming was quickly transferred to Su County after he became an official, and it took five years in a flash."

Listening to what he said, Tong Shaoxuan seemed to have grasped the suspiciousness of She Yongming:

"Magistrate Ruan is suspecting that She Yongming's past resume is not true?"

Ruan county magistrate heard her words, raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and murmured:

"The little lady is indeed smart. It seems that the eldest princess has not misjudged her."

Hearing the words "Eldest Princess", Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei were thrilled!

The Ruan family is naturally close to the royal family's Wei family, but they have no power in Su County. Even though they are backed by the Changsun family, they are involved in a huge conspiracy, so they should act carefully.So even if this person's surname is Ruan, they didn't tell him what they knew immediately.

Even at this moment, the two of them still held their breath and didn't speak immediately, still looking like "I don't know what you are talking about".

County magistrate Ruan was also convinced, and he was still heavily guarded at this point, and was almost blocked by the two of them.

"No wonder Luzhen said that you will not believe it easily."

When Tang Jianwei heard the name "Lüzhen", wasn't it just the little character of the eldest princess?The person who can call her like that must be someone close to her.

County Magistrate Ruan looked at Tang Jianwei and asked her, "Lüzhen asked me to ask you, when will she be able to eat that sip of Eight Immortals soup again?"

Tang Jianwei's eyes brightened when he heard the name "Eight Immortals Soup"!

This is the name the eldest princess gave her Luan stew. When it was named, there were only her and the eldest princess.

To know this name, it was naturally told by the eldest princess herself!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: It's all right, it's our own.

(a fiery look)

Tong Shaoxuan: There are many secrets between you and the eldest princess.

Tang Jianwei: ...
