Seeing that the little apprentice was about to turn his back on him, Shen Qingzhuo smoothed things over with a smile: "I'm a gentleman, so it's not wrong to say that I'm a generation behind."

Ying Ting's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and Xiao Shen asked eccentrically, "Sir, do you want to be my elder?"

"Where do you dare?" Shen Qingzhuo suddenly realized something was wrong, and changed the topic, "Calling your brother Baobao means that you look young, right Baobao?"

Baobao nodded half-understood, and shouted crisply: "Brother!"

Shen Qingzhuo walked up to the little apprentice with the baby girl in his arms, and asked tentatively, "Xiao Qi, do you want to hug her?"

Thin lips opened and closed, and ruthlessly spit out a word: "No."

However, in the next moment, Xiao Shen suddenly changed his mind again, stretched out his hands with no smile on his face, and hugged him full from his arms.

The young man was tall and burly, and the little girl who was a little bit older seemed smaller in his arms. He had a handsome face again, and his limbs were very stiff. There was an indescribable contrast and cuteness in his appearance.

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help laughing out loud, "I'm very good at hugging."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Shen quickly bent down and put Baobao on the ground as if he had picked up a piece of hot potato.

It's just that the movements of the hands can be called cautious.

"Sir." He turned to grab Mr.'s hand, "Let's go in."

Shen Qingzhuo let him hold her, and said with a smile: "Satisfied, you can go and play with Uncle Xiang Chen."

"Okay!" There was a loud and full response.

Xue Shihang, who was watching from the sidelines, saw the Holy Majesty holding hands with Lord Shen so naturally, he couldn't help feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

King and minister?teachers and students?It doesn't look like...

But Xiao Shen didn't care about other people's eyes, and pulled Mr. into the room against the door panel, firmly encircled him with his firm arms and chest, didn't speak, and stared at Mr. without blinking his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand and pushed him, jokingly said, "Could it be because you're full of jealousy?"

"Yeah." Xiao Shen answered simply, "I'm jealous."

Warm breath sprayed on the face, and Shen Qingzhuo rubbed the back of his head against the door panel, "Why are you so narrow-minded, little girls eat vinegar?"

The dark eyes became darker, but the deep voice became aggrieved, "Sir, he didn't even kiss me on his own initiative."

Shen Qingzhuo was taken aback, "Ah..."

Xiao Shen looked at him eagerly, and his tone was full of hints: "Sir, it's okay to make it up now."

"But you've grown up so much." Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help laughing, "If you turn back into Xiaotuanzi again, sir, I'll consider—"

With a sound of "Bo", the ending sound came to an abrupt end.

Fortunately, it was just a simple kiss, Xiao Shen withdrew after kissing, nose to nose, he smiled lowly and said: "This time it is not Mr. initiative, I will wait slowly."

When the husband is willing to take the initiative to kiss him, he is willing to take the initiative to love him.

Shen Qingzhuo felt that his little heart was out of control again, and lowered his eyelashes as if to cover up, "The three chapters of the agreement..."

"What three chapters?" Xiao Shen pretended to be stupid on purpose, leaning back his tall nose, and rubbed the back of his sensitive ears affectionately, "Speaking of which, didn't I make my husband feel comfortable..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Lord Shen!"

Shen Qingzhuo regained consciousness suddenly, pushed away the sticky little apprentice, and opened the door with a blushing face, "What's the matter?"

Xue Shihang handed over the secret report, "Mr. Li sent it back."

Shen Qingzhuo took the letter and unfolded it, quickly glanced at it, "The situation is not good, we have to speed up the progress."

Xiao Shen frowned, and said in a bad tone: "A group of bandits and bandits, Li Xinwu is too useless in this battle."

"According to my understanding, the leaders of this group of rebels are very intelligent, and they are not ordinary bandits." Shen Qingzhuo shook his head, "Most of the rebels are the people of Suzhou, and it is better to outsmart them than to attack."

Xiao Shen raised his eyes, "Mr. means..."

Shen Qingzhuo nodded slightly, "Sign up."

***

Two days later, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Shen Qingzhuo followed the official who escorted the rice and grain to the destination of the transaction on the grounds of personal supervision.

The amount of relief food allocated by the imperial court was not small, and one or two rich merchants could not eat it. Luo Zhizhou found four buyers respectively, and secretly traded it in the dark.

Mr. Shen was dressed in a green robe, and watched the officials indifferently open the rich merchant's private warehouse. Even though he was fully prepared, he secretly took a deep breath when he saw the grain piled up in the warehouse.

There was a severe drought in Suzhou, and the people were hungry enough to eat people, but the granaries of the rich merchants were full, and the food was almost overflowing.

How many lives were supposed to be saved by these grains?

"Master Shen, all the silver is here, please take a look." Master Chen opened the box with a smile, and the bright silver was arranged neatly.

Shen Qingzhuo let go of his unconsciously clenched fist, and smiled: "Master Chen, you're being polite."

When Luo Zhizhou saw the silver, his eyes immediately shone with a faint green light, and he couldn't wait to order someone to put the box away and rush to the next house.

In one night, Shen Qingzhuo saw the granaries of four powerful families, and the grain added up was enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

The last wealthy businessman was Tian Yuanwai, the in-law of Suzhou Tongpan.

When Luo Zhizhou held the silver and laughed from ear to ear, Shen Qingzhuo clapped his hands lightly.

Immediately, Xiang Chen grabbed Luo Zhizhou's neck with lightning speed.

"Ah!" Luo Zhizhou was frightened and howled, "Come here! Help!"

The officials of the yamen immediately drew their knives.

But the next moment, the soldiers ambushing in the darkness came out through the wind and surrounded the granary.

Tian Yuanwai's expression also changed, and he backed away in panic, "Master Shen, what do you mean?"

"Steal and sell official food, and everyone will get all the stolen goods." Master Shen's light voice drifted in the night wind, "Come here, take it back."

Zhizhou Yamen.

Luo Cheng knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Master Shen! I'm just being confused for a while! Lord Shen, please forgive me!"

Shen Qingzhuo sat in front of the hall, casually sipping a sip of hot tea, "Forgive me? Why should my lord be kind?"

Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Mr. Shen was asking for benefits, he quickly said: "I am willing to use the 1 taels of silver that I have accumulated to honor my lord!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were cold.

But Mr. Shen didn't make a sound, he only lowered his eyes to skim off the foam in the teacup.

"2 taels!" Luo Cheng became anxious, and took another two steps forward, "No! 5 taels!"

With a loud "bang", Xiao Shen kicked the dead fat pig over.

Luo Cheng fell to the ground and wailed: "Forgive me, my lord, please forgive me... 10 taels! I am willing to give away all my belongings..."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Shen sneered, flicking his sleeves, "A little magistrate of Suzhou can easily come up with 10 taels of silver. I finally understand that all the money in the treasury has gone into the pockets of you gang of greedy thieves." inside!"

Luo Cheng, the magistrate of Suzhou, obeyed the law, and the confession was several pages long, explaining everything clearly, including the list of corrupt and bribery officials headed by Qi Hongjun, the chief envoy.

The Holy Majesty immediately ordered that Qi Hongjun who was in Chenzhou be arrested and brought to justice, and he ordered a thorough investigation of the corruption cases in the three states of North China.

At the same time, the private warehouses of the four major wealthy businessmen in Suzhou were confiscated and confiscated in a legitimate name. Although the tyrants were bleeding when they saw the piles of grain, they could only dare not speak out in order to save their lives.

But when the victims received the food, they were stunned for a long time, and tears welled up in their eyes unconsciously.

"It's food..." The old woman who was over fifty years old had trembling hands, tears streaming down her shriveled cheeks, "It's really food! There is food to eat!"

This cry made the rest of the victims react, and there was a continuous cry of joy. The whole family clutched their grain bags and cried, as if they wanted to cry out all the suffering they had endured these days.

If you are still alive, you can still cry. If you have food, you still have hope.

Shen Qingzhuo looked at the wailing victims, and his eyes were slightly moist.

After all, he came late, he could have saved more people...

"Sir." As if aware of his emotions, Xiao Shen put his arms around his thin shoulders, "Mr. saved them, Mr. did his best."

Shen Qingzhuo reluctantly bent the corners of his lips, "Mister knows."

Xue Shihang asked: "Master Shen, how do you arrange the rest of the granaries?"

The private warehouses of the four wealthy merchants were too full, and the official warehouses could not be piled up at all, so they simply opened warehouses on the spot to release food for disaster relief.

Shen Qingzhuo leaned over to hold a handful of rice grains, "After the granary is finished, it will be sold at a low price, and the grain price will be set at [-] yuan per bucket of rice. It won't be long before the price of the grain market in Suzhou will come down."

Xue Shihang hesitated for a moment, "Suzhou's mountains and rivers are exhausted, even if it costs [-] cents a bucket, some people may not be able to afford it..."

"Relief with work." Shen Qingzhuo let go of the full grains in his palm, "Let them repair the isolated and living houses, and let them contribute to the post-disaster reconstruction of Suzhou."

"My lord, you also know that there are very few young and middle-aged laborers left in the city." Xue Shihang was puzzled, "How can the old, weak, sick and disabled repair houses?"

Shen Qingzhuo glanced at him, and a smile finally appeared between his brows and eyes, "Who said there is no labor force for young and middle-aged people? Don't worry, there will be soon."

***

On the carriage, Xiao Shen reached out dishonestly to touch Mr.'s hand.

"Cough cough cough..." Shen Qingzhuo patted the back of his hand away and gave him a sideways glance, "Be honest."

Little did they know, Xiao Shen was so crippled by this look that he couldn't help but hugged his husband onto his lap.

"Ah!" Shen Qingzhuo whispered, "Okay, why are you crazy?"

"Mr. Fa is crazy." Xiao Shen answered fluently, adjusted his posture to make him sit more comfortably, and leaned over shamelessly, "This carriage seat is too hard, I'm afraid it will bump you up, can you make me a human cushion? "

Shen Qingzhuo thumped him, and said dissatisfiedly, "How can you be so delicate, Mister?"

Xiao Shen restrained Mr. with his arms, and honestly did not dare to move his hands, and replied solemnly: "Yes, Mister is the most delicate in the world."

Really unable to resist him, Shen Qingzhuo had no choice but to give up struggling, and stayed still against the hot and solid chest.

"One million taels was found in the home of a Zhizhou alone, and more will be found on Qi Hongjun. After this corruption case is cleared, the holes in the treasury will be filled a lot." Xiao Shen pressed his chin against the top of his husband's hair. , "All of this is due to Mr.

"That's enough for you?" Shen Qingzhuo chuckled, "It's still early."

Xiao Shen thought he was calm, kissed Mr. on the temples, and admired from the bottom of his heart: "Why is Mr. so powerful?"

Shen Qingzhuo raised his face sensitively, "Speak as you speak, don't move."

"You are wronged, sir!" Xiao Shen cried out with an innocent and handsome face, "I kept my hands and feet neatly."

When the words fell to the ground, the carriage bumped suddenly, and as soon as he lowered his head, he kissed his slightly parted red lips fiercely.

"Xiao Xiaoqi!" Mr. Shen got angry and struggled in his arms.

"Don't, don't move..." Xiao Shen quickly hugged Mr. tightly, his muscles tensed up, and his voice suddenly became hoarse.

After Shen Qingzhuo realized something was wrong, he immediately froze.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Zongbing's voice came from outside the carriage: "Master Shen!"

As if waking up from a dream, Shen Qingzhuo pushed the little apprentice away and moved off his lap.

"Mr. Li." Master Shen lifted his robe and got off the carriage, cupped his hands in a bow, "Your Excellency has worked hard for many days of hard work."

"Where is that, I am ashamed!" Master Li cupped his hands in return, only to find that the Holy Majesty was coming down from the carriage, holding his robe with one hand, and his posture was a bit unnatural.

"Your Majesty." After kneeling down and prostrating, Li Xinwu couldn't help but asked with concern, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, is there any discomfort?"

Xiao Shen's face turned blue and white, cleared his throat and replied, "No problem."

Shen Qingzhuo, who was walking in front, looked back and caught a glimpse of his awkward posture, and couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Mr.'s bright and charming smile, Xiao Shen secretly ground his molars, and replied silently: "Mr., please wait for me..."

The author has something to say:

Today's Mr.: I'm waiting!

Mr. Tomorrow: Mr. is wrong, woo woo woo...

The husband has been comfortable several times, but the wolf cub has never been, so we can't blame him for being angry hahaha!
