Empress snatches dried fish

Under the leadership of several bandits, Geng Bai'an and his party were not only safe and sound along the way.Although there are ten hidden guards around him, it is better to avoid danger.Don't worry, they spent an afternoon completely surveying the situation of the two places.After learning from the bandits that rolling stones often fell on the mountain in one of the places when it was raining, Geng Bai'an took out the investigation report without hesitation.

So Geng Bai'an simply showed them the addresses of the remaining six investigation reports. In the end, there were only five of the eight locations left. After deducting the one that he visited today, there were only four that needed to be investigated, which saved a lot of trouble.

After bidding farewell to a group of enthusiastic bandits, Geng Bai'an led a few people to the palace.When he walked to the gate of the south palace, when he was about to return to the palace, he saw a few teenagers kneeling there in ragged clothes, their frail bodies crumbling.The ground is covered with snow, although it is not thick, but I am afraid that kneeling here in this first month will freeze and cause accidents.

The teenagers were close to each other, raising their hands and rubbing their arms from time to time. The exposed skin was a little purple from the cold. I don't know how long they have been kneeling here, which makes people feel distressed.Geng Bai'an left the palace through the north gate, so he didn't see these teenagers early in the morning.

The matter of Geng Bai'an leaving the palace was approved by Shu Yonghe, so even if he was dressed as a man, the guards guarding the palace gate knew that this was the empress, so when they saw Geng Bai'an, they knelt down on one knee to greet her: "Welcome the empress to the palace .”

In a blink of an eye, I saw Yu Gan running over from the gate of the palace, a lot of snow fell on the thick cloak, Geng Bai'an reached out and touched her cloak, and found that the shoulders were already wet, he must have been waiting here for a long time.Geng Bai'an gave her a distressed look and stroked her head, but now he couldn't reach out to hug her in public.

Seeing the guards bowing to Geng Bai'an, the boy's dull eyes suddenly shone brightly. He quickly moved his legs and climbed up in front of Geng Bai'an, bent down and kowtowed to her: "Madam Queen, please make decisions for us! Madam Queen, please make decisions for us! "

Startled by the young man who suddenly stepped forward, Geng Bai'an subconsciously took her hand to protect her behind him.On the contrary, Lu Jiangli probably did this when others were seeking medical treatment. She quickly judged that the other party was not malicious, so she didn't take any action at all.

Feeling the warmth in his hand, Yu Gan saw Geng Bai'an covering his body with his own body, lowered his head and smiled, and put his other hand on the back of Geng Bai'an's.Stealthily took half a step forward, sticking himself behind Geng Bai'an, it happened that she was a little shorter than Geng Bai'an, lowering his head just enough to secretly kiss her shoulder.

Although separated by a thick cloak and clothes, Yu Gan still showed a little joy after stealing the kiss.Sensing her small movements, Geng Bai'an silently stretched out his left hand around in front of his body, slightly turned sideways to touch Yu Gan's side face, and then retracted it.

All this happened very quickly, except for the two of them, no one cared, because Ji Yinian and the three palace servants who were originally following behind the two rushed to the front of Geng Bai'an, Yu Gan and Lu Jiangli.Suqin and Cuixin were in the mindset of protecting the master, Jianrui was protecting Lu Jiangli under Ji Yinian's order, and Ji Yinian rushed to the front relying on his own martial arts, and he had already quietly touched the other side. The dagger on his waist was just waiting to be unsheathed.

"Bold!" Seeing that they had bumped into Geng Bai'an and Yu Gan, the guards immediately stepped forward to drag them away, but Geng Bai'an stopped them.

"You go down, I see that they don't look like villains, it's fine." Geng Bai'an waved his hand at the guards, stepped forward and patted Ji Yinian's shoulder to let her get out of the way, and helped one of the teenagers himself: " It's too cold on the ground, let's all get up and talk."

The teenagers must have knelt here for a long time, and they were used to being ignored, but suddenly not only ignored them, but also helped them up with their own hands, and they were also empresses, so they were a little confused for a while.After reacting, they all thanked Geng Bai'an, if Geng Bai'an hadn't stopped in time, they might have to kneel down again.

Geng Bai'an has some headaches, but this is the characteristic of this era. As a superior, one has to get used to others kneeling before speaking or kneeling while talking.

"What are you looking for in this Palace?"

I saw the young man in the lead speak, his voice was full of sorrow: "Empress Empress, we are here to sue the Imperial Court."

Afterwards, Geng Bai'an and his group stood at the gate of the palace and listened to the young man briefly explain what had happened.

Probably these teenagers came from Liu County, which is far away from Chongjing, and they are all cousins ​​in the same family, surnamed Liu.The Liu family has lived in Liucheng for generations since their ancestors. As the common surname of Liucheng, they have watched Liu County develop from Liujia Village to Liu County from generation to generation.But since Xinzhi County took office a year ago, he has been eyeing the fat of the Liu family. From the very beginning of reaching out to grab it later, he did everything he could.

First, they framed their eldest brother to kill, then framed one of their fathers to bribe the court officials, and finally even planned to find someone to insult the female family members at home. Fortunately, the family members found out and rescued them desperately, so that no catastrophe occurred.Knowing that two generations of the Liu family had not yet been born, they slowly started a business. The county magistrate not only looked at the business of the Liu family, but also at the wealth of the Liu family. Sister, so that my sister almost hanged herself.

As a county magistrate, the county magistrate held some military power in his hands, which made the Liu family feel unresponsive every day, and the land was ineffective.Until more than a month ago, the Liu family couldn't resist the county magistrate's means, and all the family property was robbed.Fortunately, he didn't really set his eyes on the female relatives at home, so he was able to preserve his innocence, but the old man was so angry that he fell ill and passed away within ten days.

The Liu family was angry, but these youngsters represented the entire Liu family and secretly went to Chongjing to sue the imperial court.They hurried on the road for more than a month, and their little money was quickly used up during the period, and they even begged all the way to Chongjing.Originally, he didn't hold out too much hope, thinking that if he knelt for a month and was ignored, he would have to accept his fate and go back. Unexpectedly, it was only the third day, and he saw Geng Bai'an.

The young man who took the lead was probably the oldest among these few, and he was a little stronger with a few younger brothers.As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, and he could hear the sound of gnashing his teeth when he said something hateful.And the few behind him, when they heard the leading boy talk about what happened in the family this year, their eyes turned red, and the shortest one was still secretly wiping away tears.

The body was not clean at all, and after wiping it a few times, it turned into a small face.

After hearing about the situation of several teenagers, Ji Yinian reacted the most, he almost rushed to Liu County with his sword in his hand and chopped down Nazhi County directly.Thinking back when his father was framed by the dog officer and died in prison, he felt very empathetic now, and the eyes he looked at the young men softened a lot.

Geng Bai'an patted Ji Yinian's shoulder: "Suqin, Jianrui."

"exist."

"You two take these youngsters to find an inn to settle down, and buy two warm clothes, so as not to get sick." After finishing speaking, Geng Bai'an looked at the extremely young man again, and said softly: "Don't worry, tonight Take a good rest and tidy up first, after the court tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick you up to meet the emperor, and then you will report the situation to the emperor in detail."

The young men expressed their gratitude to Geng Bai'an again, and Geng Bai'an asked two more guards to accompany them, besides protecting the safety of these people, he also asked them to identify their way so that they could be brought here tomorrow.

After entering the palace, Geng Bai'an let go of Yu Gan's hand, and said to the three of them: "This matter is big or small, I'll report it to the Emperor, you all worked hard today, go back and rest earlier."

After finishing speaking, Geng Bai'an turned around and walked in the direction of Dunyi Hall.

"Let's go back." Seeing Geng Bai'an leaving, Lu Jiangli found that Yu Gan was still staring at Geng Bai'an's back, and said with a smile: "Madam Yu Gan and Bai'an's relationship is really good. After Jiangli entered the palace, he discovered the folk rumors Not necessarily, it's not that the empress and every concubine are fighting to the death, but there is true sisterhood!"

After Lu Jiangli finished speaking, Yu Gan and Ji Yinian smiled awkwardly together, feeling a little guilty inside.The four of them knew each other well in their hearts, but they never revealed it. Topics like this were avoided as much as possible.Lu Jiangli, who didn't know anything about it, would always inadvertently poke their little thoughts, which was embarrassing enough.

If Geng Bai'an was here, he would definitely shout - yes, sisterhood!Or Socialist Sisterhood!

In this month, Yu Gan has chosen a good day to move from Feiqiong Hall to Tonglan Hall next to Yong'an Hall.The layout of Tonglan Hall is very different from that of Feiqiong Hall, and the space is much larger. The decorations that filled the whole room in Feiqiong Hall only took up one-third of the space in Tonglan Hall.However, the place Yu Gan lived in seemed less crowded because of this, and on the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.

After Lu Jiangli entered the palace, he originally lived in the bedroom of Wang Leshui and Ji Yinian, but since Yu Gan lived in Tonglan Palace, he moved to the side hall of Tonglan Palace.Not only because it is close to Yong'an Hall, but also because she and Yu Gan are responsible for compiling textbooks together. If they live together, if they find any problems or have any good ideas, they can communicate immediately.

It's just that, the time that Geng Bai'an and Yu Gan spent alone together was compressed to nothing.In this way, every time Yu Gan who stays with Geng Bai'an, will be so reluctant to part when it is time to separate.Just being held by Geng Bai'an's initiative can make her feel satisfied, even if it's just worrying about her being hurt.

But Yu Gan also understands that now is the time to get down to business, and the change he is participating in is likely to change the fate of women in Chongguo from now on. This is something that cannot be missed, so everyone works extra hard.As a participant, Yu Gan is also honored.Know that now is not the time to pay attention to the personal relationship of children.

Not only Yu Gan, almost everyone involved in this matter thought so.

If Geng Bai'an knew their thoughts, he would definitely sigh that people in this era are really selfless.She wanted to implement this reform just to complain for women. She came from the 21st century and couldn't see the current social status at all.She can integrate the experience of countless predecessors to set up the most effective plan with the least loss, and these people really follow her to go all out.

At this time, Lu Jiangli and Yu Gan were walking back arm in arm, chatting and laughing, probably because they never thought that they would become sisters-in-law with her in the future, right?

……

When Geng Bai'an came to Dunyi Hall, before he had time to talk about Liu's family, he was dragged into the study by Shu Yonghe, and pushed back the others, so he started talking.

"What the hell is he going to do?"

"I'm afraid because I don't know." Shu Yonghe wrinkled his facial features aggrievedly: "After inexplicably barging in, he said a few innocuous words, and then left with a face full of meaning."

Geng Bai'an thought for a long time before he came up with a possibility: "It's not because you haven't seen him for a while, so he misses you and gets angry again, right?"

Shu Yonghe heard the words, with a look of eating shit.

Geng Bai'an ignored him, and continued: "According to this logic, he is [-]% the leader of the man in black who kicked me that day, and what he said about becoming a queen should also be true. Although the truth is cruel, I think the book Hong Yu, he... really has his eyes on you. Otherwise, think about it, he has always been a happy prince who travels around the mountains and rivers. Why has he stayed here since your wedding? Not only intervening in the government to help you , and even more... By the way, he once wanted to use my hand to get rid of the woman who was close to you."

As she was talking, she thought of the woman she saw in the Imperial Garden back then. Although she had no brains and would offend others if she entered the palace, Shu Hongyu deliberately explained to herself that she didn't miss her between the lines. Entering the palace but it's not easy to say something like that.

Isn't that just urging yourself to do it yourself!

And soy milk just appeared there at that time...

Geng Bai'an couldn't help feeling that Shu Hongyu was thinking deeply.If I didn't have such a relationship with Soy Milk, if I was urged to come forward to severely punish that woman that day, or even find an excuse to punish her for a felony and drive her away, then the emperor who happened to come over would have seen it, and planted a "Queen" in the emperor's heart. In fact, it is the seed of being jealous and cruel", which in turn affects the relationship between husband and wife.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Fortunately, I am much more humane than the superiors of this era, and I am a fake couple with Soy Milk, otherwise I would have stepped into the trap set by him!

Geng Bai'an raised his hand and touched Shu Yonghe's head distressedly: "Poor child, you must hold on, and you must keep your penis. Don't turn your back on him when you have nothing to do, and don't take a shower." pick up soap……"

"What the hell is this! What the hell is soap in this era!" Shu Yonghe slapped Geng Bai'an's hand off angrily, and the veins on his forehead burst out of anger: "I just want to find a good girl to live a good life with Is it that difficult? I finally met someone I liked, but it turned out to be a natural one, and I still like you. Somehow, an uncle has strange thoughts about his nephew, and he wants to kill everyone around me every minute. Woman, what is my fate..."

Shu Yonghe laid his feet up on the couch where he usually rested, as if he was about to swing his limbs and play tricks in the next second, seeing Geng Bai'an feeling guilty, he stepped forward to pat his stomach: "Okay, get up. "

"Oh." Shu Yonghe said with a bitter face: "But anyway, I'm only twenty, so it's okay to find a wife later, but this Shu Hongyu is really scary. When I face him, I make mistakes. Frightened. He looks good when he is gentle, but you have never seen him angry, and his eyes can eat you up."

"It's okay if it's just like this. I'm most afraid that he will turn black when the time comes. Not only the woman next to you, but even you will be killed altogether. It won't be fun." Geng Bai'an also propped his chin with his hands and looked distressed: "It's up to now We don't want to act rashly, our minds are probably not half as big as his, so we can only send people to watch his actions, and avoid them if we can."

Shu Yonghe let out a long sigh: "That's the only way to go. To be honest, if I don't let him give up, I really don't dare to find a wife, otherwise the wife I finally found will be killed by him, isn't it useless!"

The two sat side by side on the couch, and sighed to each other for a while, then Geng Bai'an remembered his original purpose of coming here, so he pulled Shu Yonghe and talked about what happened to those Liu family youths he met at the gate of the palace just now: "Aren't you still worried about this?" How do we deal with those corrupt officials? Right now is a good opportunity. If what those teenagers said is true, then this is not a small matter, and we can just use this as a breakthrough to show off our strengths."

If the Liu family is really a well-known family in Liu County as they said, then the money-greedy county magistrate probably has a lot of money, and the magistrate can be severely punished.Shu Yonghe was able to fly into a rage through this incident, and smoothly find an excuse to start punishing corrupt officials across the country.When the time comes, there will be more but not fewer people who will take the opportunity to sue for impeachment, so that they will be targeted, and you will know whether it is true or not.

Those who are clean can stay or get promoted, and those who are greedy can be dealt with directly, which can save a lot of trouble.

Even if there were some corrupt officials in the court who were investigated, under the current situation that the heads of civil and military officials, Prime Minister Tang and General Geng, were all on Shu Yonghe's side, they could only be admitted.Not only would they not try to catch people, but they would try their best to keep their relationship clear, otherwise they would be implicated and lose their official positions if they were not careful, and they might even be imprisoned.

Shu Yonghe was very angry when he heard about the Liu family's affairs, but he also immediately understood Geng Bai'an's thoughts, and couldn't help admiring him.People say that men are more rational and women are more emotional, but An An is different since she was a child.Although she usually does things according to her own temperament, but when something really happens, she is the most rational.

Just like this time, when hearing about the Liu family, the first reaction of normal people is to feel angry and want to help the Liu family get justice.But Geng Bai'an's first thought was to find out whether this matter is true or not, but he can use this matter while helping others to maximize its effect.

Since Geng Bai'an helped him think of all aspects, Shu Yonghe didn't need to make any more plans.

"Okay, then I will send someone to investigate now, and let someone bring them into the palace on time tomorrow. If the situation is true, we will do what you want."

"Yeah." Geng Bai'an smiled and patted Shu Yonghe's shoulder with the back of his hand: "This time, just to copy the houses of those corrupt officials, it is estimated that there will be a large sum of money, and the tension in the national treasury can be slightly relieved. But no matter how much , the quantity is also limited. After this cleanup, it is estimated that there will be no corrupt officials for you to copy, so whether it is for the national treasury, military supplies, or the development of national education, we should also put money on the agenda. .”

Shu Yonghe's head grew dizzy when he heard this, and he held his head, showing a painful expression: "Don't you think we just want to reform? Why do we have to do so many things? I feel like I'm too busy coming."

"It's because you don't have a few people who can be completely trusted. Geng Yi and Geng Baiping are military generals. They belong to the frontier, let alone, and Tang Shuo just reached a strategic cooperation with us. Wait a minute. , When new blood is injected into the next scientific expedition, you can start training your own people."

Shu Yonghe licked his chapped lower lip with a serious expression, with a melancholy expression on his face: "Yes, we can only rely on ourselves for the time being."

……

When Geng Baian dragged his tired body back to Yong'an Palace as usual, it was already dark, and Suqin had already settled the youngsters back to the palace.At this moment, He Suqi was setting dinner for Geng Bai'an on the table, and the wine was still hot at the warming table, seeing Geng Bai'an finally came back from Dunyi Hall, he immediately greeted him with a towel.One took off Geng Bai'an's cloak, and the other wiped off the water stains from falling snow on Geng Bai'an's body.

"Niang Niang, it's getting late, I haven't eaten anything all day, it's time to eat now."

"Ah."

After tidying up, Geng Bai'an sat at the warming table with a sleepy look.I don't know if it's because I'm overtired, but I don't feel hungry at all. Instead, I feel tired and refreshed.Raising his hand to rub his dry eyes, he drank a cup of warm wine and gradually gained some appetite.

After eating and drinking enough, Geng Bai'an originally wanted to continue working, but he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms.Recently, my mind has been a bit overloaded, and I went out for a day today, and after I came back, I discussed my future plans with Shu Yonghe, and I was exhausted physically and mentally.But her brain seemed to be used to such consumption, so although she was tired, she couldn't fall asleep when she closed her eyes.

So Geng Bai'an turned over, lying on the couch with his back facing the sky, called Suqin and Suqi to come over and massage his body, maybe she would fall asleep if the massage was comfortable.

Suqin and Suqi also saw Geng Baian's busyness during this time, and felt very sorry for this master who grew up with her.In the past, when I was in the General's Mansion, besides managing the family's finances, Miss usually spent more time playing the piano and painting. Who would have thought that it would be like this after marrying into the palace?Everyone said that the queen was noble, but they didn't know that such nobility was earned through such hard work.

They don't know how to describe it, they only know that Geng Bai'an's life now is much more tiring than when Master Geng Baiping was caught practicing martial arts every day by the master.
