The soldier turned over and rolled off his horse, his face full of anxiety:
"My lord, Sir Zhang was escorting the disaster relief fund to Guangrou County. When passing through Du'anyan, he was kidnapped by bandits! It's a pity that the whole team, except for Mr. Zhang, didn't survive!"
Was the disaster relief money stolen by bandits?
Nan Baoyi was stunned.
"That's millions of taels of silver with snowflake patterns. It was allocated by the imperial court to the people affected by the disaster. What happened if it was robbed by bandits?" !
It¡¯s clear day and the sky is clear, those bandits are too courageous!
Before she could say anything, another horse came galloping towards her.
The young man sitting on the horse is wearing a sky-blue brocade robe and a fine gauze crown, and his face is as gentle as jade.
It¡¯s actually Cheng Deyu.
He reined in the reins and said condescendingly: "Jingxihou, my father was furious when he heard that the disaster relief money had been robbed. He wants you to find the disaster relief money within three days and hand it over to the government. Otherwise, he will report it to the court and punish you for doing things badly. crime!"
Nan Baoyi¡¯s brows furrowed slightly.
Cheng Hui is the prefect of Shu County, and it is his second brother who is responsible for receiving the imperial envoys. According to convention, he does have the right to ask his second brother to investigate the whereabouts of the disaster relief money.
"It's only three days, it's too harsh, it's clearly a revenge on the second brother!"
After all, a few months ago, Cheng Dejin was dragged to death by a carriage. Although the investigation revealed that Crazy Horse was responsible, the owner of the carriage was not found.
And in the entire Jinguan City, the only person who dared to kill Cheng Dejin and had murderous intentions towards Cheng Dejin was his second brother.
So Governor Cheng is using the disaster relief money to take revenge on his second brother!
She was dissatisfied: "There are many bandits in Du'anyan area, scattered in different villages. If they are really responsible, it will be impossible to destroy them and get back the disaster relief money in three days."
Cheng Deyu¡¯s eyes fell on her.
After not seeing him for several months, his former fianc¨¦e was as tall as a twiggy willow.
She wears her hair in a delicate bun and her face is fair and pink, making her very pretty.
His eyes moved slightly, "This is an important military camp, why is Jiaojiao here?"
Nan Baoyi couldn't hear him call her a small character.
She said sternly: "I'm not familiar with Mr. Cheng, so please don't call me by my small names at will. Listen carefully."
Cheng Deyu choked.
Immediately, he sneered: "Your sister is now my concubine, and I am also your brother-in-law. So what if I call you a petite name? Even if I share the same room with you, it is still allowed."
He did not dwell on this topic, and just stared at Xiao Yi coldly: "Jingxi Hou, you already know my father's order. I am now the chief clerk of the government office, and I will be responsible for monitoring your every move these three days. Make a move. Within three days, we must wipe out the bandits and get back the disaster relief money. Otherwise, the imperial court will send someone to hold you accountable, and Shu County can only blame you."
Nan Baoyi¡¯s face was full of worry.
"If millions of taels of disaster relief money are lost, the court will definitely hold local officials accountable."
Prefect Cheng and Governor Xue made it clear that they wanted to take advantage of their second brother
The worry on her face made Cheng Deyu very unhappy.
He said: "The Marquis of Jingxi has something to do, and if Jiaojiao is here, it will inevitably hinder him. A girl should behave like a girl. I will send someone to take you back to the house."
"Where am I, what does it have to do with you?" Nan Baoyi hated him so much, "Don't mind my business!"
She held Xiao Yi's hand affectionately, "Second brother, I will go to Du'anyan with you. I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"
She plans to send a letter to Yulouchun via Feige, asking Han Yanliang to help her investigate the whereabouts of the disaster relief funds.
In this way, it can be regarded as helping the second brother.
Xiao Yi touched her little face gently, "Jiaojiao likes it, then follow her."
Nan Baoyi can also ride a horse.
When walking to Du'anyan, she discovered that not only the powerful ministers brought their families, but also Cheng Deyu himself brought a carriage.
The car curtain swayed, revealing a smoky pink skirt.
Through the bamboo curtain, you can vaguely see the slender figure of the girl inside, with a charming profile.
She looked at it and gently opened the bamboo curtain with a tender hand.
The four eyes face each other.
Nan Yan held up the golden hairpin on her temples and smiled: "I haven't seen you for half a year. Jiaojiao is fine."
It¡¯s Nan Yan!
Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.
Looking at Nan Yan¡¯s appearance, he should be living a good life in the Cheng family.
She said warmly: "Sister, please come and be fine."
"Brother Cheng dotes on me very much. I live a very good life in the Cheng family, much better than when I was in the Nan family." Nan Yan carelessly stroked her skirt, "I couldn't afford this kind of silk material before. Yes, but now, I can cut as many pieces as I want, and I no longer have to look at other people¡¯s faces.¡±
Nan Baoyi tilted his head.
Being a concubine is worthy of her being so proud
It can be seen that things like vision are really important.
She smiled sweetly: "Congratulations to sister for getting what she wanted."
Nan Yan saw through her thoughts at a glance and raised the corner of his mouth: "I know you look down on me. But as far as I am concerned, I would rather be a concubine of an official than a wife of a poor family. Now Brother Cheng is practicing in the government office. Although he is a small clerk, But there are also many people who go through the back door and try to bribe him through me. I have received many expensive gifts, which is a benefit that marrying an ordinary family does not have."
Nan Baoyi chuckled.
Nan Yan is really despicable for taking bribes as a way to show off.
She didn¡¯t take it seriously and rode forward.
Nan Yan stared at her back, her smile becoming more proud.
Nan Baoyi must be envious and jealous, that's why he doesn't want to talk to her.
She shook her fan gently, feeling a little more proud and happy in her chest.
She stared at the scenery of the official road, her eyes filled with the joy of having endured all the hardships.
It took a lot of effort for her to gain a foothold in the Cheng family.
Mrs. Huang didn¡¯t like her, so she spent every day in the morning and dusk, cooking for Mr. Huang herself, and always served her carefully, even more attentively than a personal maid.
But these did not impress Mr. Huang.
So she bought poison and poisoned two concubines who were deeply loved by Governor Cheng to help the Huang family fight for favor. This made Huang treat her differently and treat her much better.
Cheng Deyu is a person who values ??his mother.
Because Huang was kind to her, he was also willing to be kind to her. He was much more generous to her and was willing to give her some hairpins, jewelry, and silks.
¡°Even this time I am willing to take her with me to Du¡¯anyan.
This is a sign of favor!
Nan Yan shook her fan and enjoyed the service of the maid serving tea and water.
During this trip to Du'anyan, she was determined to let Nan Baoyi see with his own eyes how wealthy and happy she was living now.
At dusk, the convoy arrived in Guan County.
Du'anyan is located in Guan County and is a majestic water conservancy project.
The place where Nan Baoyi and others rested was on Jade Street south of Baopingkou in Du'anyan.
It is said to be a street, but in fact it looks like a prosperous ancient town, famous on the Southwest Tea Horse Road.
The people here are very little affected by the drought, and the town's commercial trade in silk, Sichuan brocade, tea, horses, jade, etc. is very prosperous.
The most luxurious inn on Jade Street is called Qianqiuxue. It is run by the same owner as Qianqiuxue in Xiling Snow Mountain.
Nan Yan held the maid's hand, deliberately glanced at Nan Baoyi, and said softly: "Brother Cheng, let's get the best guest room, right? We are tired along the way and want to have a good rest." (Remember this site's website address: www .hlnovel.com
