Compared with the original Shuangxi Town, Jiangzhou City was obviously still affected by the flood.Not to mention the faint traces of flooding left on the buildings on both sides of the street, the atmosphere in the city is a little more tense than before, and there are few pedestrians on the street.The few shops that were open were also deserted, except for the shopkeeper who was drowsy at the counter, there were not even any customers.

Of course, no matter how depressed Jiangzhou City is, it is much better than the gathering of refugees outside the city.

Wen Fei wandered around the street seemingly aimlessly, and noticed that apart from a few normal pedestrians, there were always a few figures hiding in the streets and alleys.Wearing commoner clothes and carrying their burdens, they looked a bit embarrassed, but they didn't look like beggars.

With just one glance, Wen Fei guessed that these people should be the refugees who sneaked in from the tower.They may have some small money, and they can bribe the guards of the tower to find a way out for themselves.But it is not considered rich enough, the money I brought only bought the qualifications to enter the city, but when I really entered the city, I didn't even have the money to stay and live on the streets.

Wen Fei had no idea about this matter itself, but just took advantage of the loopholes in the rules, and such things like this kind of people are inevitable in any dynasty.But at this time, it is actually a risk to let these people wander around the city.

Keeping this matter in mind for now, Wen Fei didn't do anything right away.

She observed all the way, and at the same time walked in the direction of the government office according to the path the concierge said.The distance is not too far, only one street away, and you can arrive there even if you walk a quarter of an hour slower.

Jiangzhou was originally considered a prosperous place, so the government office was set up in the center of the city - above the open dark gate, the plaque of "Jiangzhou Government Office" hung high, Dengwen drum stood beside the door, and there were guards outside the door. Several government servants in soap clothes.But maybe it has been nothing for a long time, or maybe there are not many pedestrians on the street, these yamen servants are listless and look very lazy guarding the gate.

It wasn't until Wen Fei walked up the stone steps in front of the mansion that a yamen servant came to his senses, stepped forward and stopped her and said, "The mansion is a heavy place, the idlers stay away." He asked again, "What's the matter with you?"

Wen Fei glanced into the open gate of the government office: "I'm here to find Chu."

The yamen servant had already seen the Chu family mark on Wen Fei's new clothes, so he had no doubts about her coming to look for Chu Min, and his attitude was even a little more respectful than before: "Then I'll go in and pass it on, I don't know Lang. What's your name?"

Wen Fei was not impatient, he just said: "My name is Wen Fei, you can just say goodbye to Chu in private."

If it was in Chang'an, the name of the little general would naturally be well-known, like a thunderbolt.But here is Jiangnan, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Even if the news of the imperial court's victory over the Northern Man comes back, others will only know her official position and title.Not to mention that the south of the Yangtze River is rich and comfortable, and it is far enough away from the battlefield in the north. It may be said that not many people care about this war.

The yamen servant really didn't notice anything when he heard the words, he probably hadn't even heard of the name Wen Fei, so he went in to report after a promise.After finding Chu Min, he didn't make it public, and indeed he told him about it in private.

Chu Min knew that Wen Fei was coming, and the servant who brought him food had already told him about it: "Then you bring him in, directly to my room, and I'll be back in a while."

The yamen servant agreed and went out, and soon brought Wen Fei into the yamen, brought him to Chu Min's valet, and left again.

Wen Fei wandered around in the empty room, and found that except for the official seal on the desk, the layout of the duty room was no different from that of the study room——Chu Min was obviously a particular person, no matter the official seal on the desk Pen, ink and paper, or bonsai orchids for decoration are the best.And these are all brought by him from his own home, and the arrangement is not only elegant, but also very comfortable.

Chu Min came back rather quickly. Wen Fei finished looking at the value house, and he came back with two clerks.Seeing Wen Fei, his brows relaxed a little, and his attitude was much better than yesterday: "Please wait a moment, I will explain a few words to my subordinates first."

Wen Fei naturally didn't mind waiting for a short while, and raised his hand to signal him to do whatever he wanted.

Chu Min nodded, then spoke a few more words with the clerk, and then he walked over Wen Fei to the table, as if he wanted to pick up a document.It's just that at the moment when he passed by Wen Fei, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and then he quickly turned around and looked at Wen Fei with sharp eyes.

Wen Fei was looked at inexplicably, with obvious confusion on his face: "What's wrong?"

Chu Min pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, but seeing his suddenly darkened face and the corners of his mouth tightened, it was obvious that he was enduring something.It took him a long while to look away angrily, turned around and walked back to the desk, "crashed" to find a document, and then picked up the official seal next to it without looking at it and stamped it with a "bang".

That posture, if the official seal was not made of copper, it is really doubtful that he would have smashed it.

The two scribes were startled by the movement, but they looked at each other and saw the same bewilderment as themselves in each other's eyes.Fortunately, they also understood Chu Min's temper, which was anxious and violent, but they would not implicate the innocent.So the last two scribes didn't ask any more questions, just took the sealed document and left without knowing why.

After everyone left, Chu Min went to close the door again, and then walked back to Wen Fei and asked with a dark face: "Say, before you came, did you go to provoke my little sister again?!"

Wen Fei blinked in the face of the questioning, a little guilty, although Chu Xi ignored her at all this morning.

************************************************** ***********************

Of course Chu Min was not a prophet, nor did he have clairvoyance to see what happened in the mansion this morning.He just had a keen sense of smell, and when he passed by Wen Fei, he happened to smell a faint scent of powder, and it was the kind of powder commonly used in his house.

Coincidentally, Wen Fei has a good status, last night Xu arranged for her the best guest room in the house.The affairs in the room are also the best, including the makeup in the dressing table, which is also a high-quality item commonly used by the female family members in the mansion.How did Chu Min know that Wen Fei, a military general, would put on makeup, and the smell of makeup on her body was not heavy, so he just thought she was rubbing against Chu Xi.

Being a brother is very angry.Not to mention that their marriage is likely to fail, even if they are a sure-fire unmarried couple, there is no reason for them to be so ignorant before they got married—even wearing makeup and fragrance. If you want to say how polite they are, Chu Min Of course not.

It's a pity that some things are hard to say clearly, and it would hurt his sister's reputation if she said it, so Chu Min had to grit his teeth in anger.

After drinking two cups of herbal tea, and saying "You can't beat her" several times in his heart, Chu Min barely suppressed the anger in his heart.He was holding an empty teacup and didn't even bother to look at Wen Fei, so he asked coldly, "Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"

Although Wen Fei was a little confused by Chu Min's startled attitude, he still became serious when he got down to business: "I came here to ask, have you discussed how to deal with the refugees outside the city? As for my subordinates, even though they were dispersed when the Shang River was flooded, they knew that I was coming to Jiangzhou, so they would probably gather here, and they may also be stopped outside the city now."

It was getting late when they arrived in Jiangzhou last night. Although Wen Fei and Chu Xi went to visit the refugees, they were limited in the end.Thinking about it now, maybe Wen Fei's personal guards had rushed to Jiangzhou long ago, but they were all locked out of the city by that city gate, and they happened to miss them last night.Taking a step back, Chen Ping, who was sent by her to redeem the jade in Shuangxi Town, should catch up in these two days.

They were all serious things, Chu Min put his mind away anyway, but his frown did not loosen at all: "There are too many refugees outside the city, and the manpower of the government office is only a hundred, so it is really difficult to rectify it."

Wen Fei was startled when he heard this, and he didn't mention his personal guards anymore, and asked as a matter of course: "Then what about the local garrison?"

Chu Min didn't speak when he heard the words, but the expression on his face was a little subtle, as if he was about to speak.

When Wen Fei saw this, his thoughts quickly became clear - the ancient soldiers were no better than modern ones, "soldier bandit" and "soldier ruffian" are not good words.Although they are supported by the court, they do not have the consciousness of serving the people, and the generals have led an army for a long time, and they may even be suspected of treating them as their own private soldiers.That is to say, the border garrisons are still fighting against foreign enemies, and the troops in other places are really hard to describe.

Coincidentally, the emperor sent Wen Fei south this time under the banner of inspecting military affairs.Although it was originally planned to start from the south of the Yangtze River, Jiangzhou can be regarded as the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, and now half of the south of the south of the Yangtze River is flooded, so it's okay to start nearby.

Thinking of this, Wen Fei subconsciously touched the golden seal in his arms, and asked Chu Min about the local garrison generals.

Of course Chu Min knew Wen Fei's identity and why she went south, the previous behavior was just for her to see.Seeing that Feiguo really wanted to intervene now, he suddenly became energetic and told everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

In fact, it's nothing unusual, the Jiangzhou garrison general is nothing but a fool who treats the garrison as his own soldier.He didn't want to let his soldiers get hurt. At first, the prefect of Jiangzhou ordered the city gate to be closed. Now that he heard that there might be a disease outside the city, he naturally didn't want to open the city gate and let his soldiers take risks.

The military and government are originally two systems, and the prefect of Jiangzhou has nothing to do with him in this case.However, Wen Fei pondered for a moment after hearing this, but felt that the problem was not serious, so he said: "Leave this to me, but let's take my personal guards into the city first."

Seeing that she agreed readily, Chu Min's face finally showed two points of joy, and his brows relaxed: "It's easy to say, I will send people out of the city tonight. If Wu Weihou's personal guards rush out of the city, they will be able to Find it and bring it back to the city."

The two discussed a few more words, and someone knocked on the door outside, apparently looking for Chu Min on something.

Wen Fei didn't intend to reveal his identity now, let alone disturb Chu Min's work, so he planned to leave immediately.She got up and walked to the door. Before opening the door, she turned her head and told Chu Min about the refugees who had sneaked into the city. At the end, she said: "Brother Chu, you should hurry up to find people. When my personal guards enter the city, you will find them." At this time, make an appointment with General Qiu..."

Chu Min agreed, and happily sent Wen Fei away, only to look back and remember that he was still angry before.

The author has something to say: Chu Min (indignantly): The fragrance of makeup powder does not necessarily belong to my sister...it is not my sister's, could it be my daughter-in-law's? !

Wen Fei (...): It is wrong.
