Chapter 123 Peeping the Heart

Han Qian spread a copy of Wang Yu's memorials on the desk. Zhao Ting'er yawned and asked her to rest first so as not to be exhausted.

Zhao Ting'er glanced at Madam Xi with some worry. Although Han Qianhun didn't care and left Madam Xi by his side, Zhao Ting'er never dared to relax and always stood behind Madam Xi, watching her every move.

Now she was afraid that she would go back to the house to sleep. The young master slacked off a little and asked Mrs. Xi to get the sword in the house and use it to hurt someone. She had no place to cry and thought about whether to let the guards in the yard arrive.

Mrs. Xi was stared at in the room.

Han Qian was still wary of Mrs. Xi before and didn't know how to deal with this hot potato, but after knowing her life experience, many things became simple to him.

He went into the back room to sleep early in the morning and asked her to stay in the hall outside to help Zhao Ting'er draw, just to further shake her will.

Han Qian asked Zhao Ting'er to go back to the house to catch up on some sleep, and sat in front of the desk to read the memorial copy page by page.

Wang Yu, together with Liyang Marquis Yang En and others, interceded for the Yue King Dong Chang's people, which angered Emperor Tianyou, so he was demoted to Xuzhou to serve. However, when he first arrived in Xuzhou, he still wanted to stay in Jinling and wrote a letter.

Zhuo mostly talked about state affairs, and in his words he still hoped that Emperor Tianyou would transfer him back to Jinling and appoint him.

Although Wang Yu's desire to be transferred back to Jinling did not change after that, he wrote more about the situation in Xuzhou in his essays, about Xuzhou's backwardness in Jianghuai and too much agricultural production, as well as the customs of closed native surnames that were detrimental to the imperial government's governance of border counties and counties.

The people are living in poverty but there is fierce competition between locals and foreigners, which makes them deeply worried.

There are also many descriptions of Tanzhou in memorials, which undoubtedly reminded Emperor Tianyou to pay attention to Tanzhou's dormant mentality and not to be lax and gullible.

Although Wang Yu was unwilling to be demoted to Xuzhou, he still actively did many things after taking office.

In addition to repeatedly trying to build river embankments and reclaim silted land, Wang Yu had also implemented more advanced farming methods in the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers in Xuzhou, teaching the people of the state to retting fertilizers, dividing ridges for farming, etc., actively increasing agricultural production, and once wanted to abolish it.

The custom of keeping slaves still existed in Xuzhou at this time.

Wang Yu mentioned in his memorial that Feng Changyu destroyed the Xi family in the sixth year of Tianyou's reign, and sold most of the Xi family's children to other surnames, and even sold them to local powerful people outside the state to serve as village slaves. At that time, Xuzhou was already in the name of

If the emperor surrendered to Da Chu, the court should not condone such a thing. Even if the situation changed, it should severely reprimand and correct the matter.

From the copies of these memorials and official letters, Han Qian also saw that Wang Yu founded the Institute of Engineers under Gongcao. At this time, the two craftsmen who helped him build goniometers were recruited by Wang Yu and built in large quantities.

Farming equipment such as water tank trucks and curved shaft plows will be promoted.

In the copies of these official memorials, Wang Yu also mentioned that the people in Jianghuai River and Huaihe River had salt that was sold by officials, and the price of salt was tolerable. However, the salt and iron envoys felt that Xuzhou was far away, so they started selling it through commercial operations, which led to the loss of salt in Xuzhou.

The price was so high that nearly 10,000 yuan per stone made it difficult for salt criminals to be exterminated after repeated bans. They wrote a letter suggesting that all the salt in Xuzhou should be transported and sold by officials in order to equalize the price of salt...

From these memorials and official letters, it is not difficult for Han Qian to imagine the image of an official who was unwilling to be relegated to foreign countries but cared about his country and his country, and he also wanted to do something local to save the people from the fire.

From the detailed presentation of various suggestions, it is not difficult for Han Qian to see that Wang Yu is a talented and pragmatic hard-working official. However, he has lost power and been demoted abroad. He is isolated in the capital and in the local area, so that he seems to be in Xuzhou.

He was so inactive that in the end it was necessary for the official Zhou Yourui to step forward and spread the wealth, so that he could return home in a coffin.

After reading these copies of the memorial, I realized that the sky had already dimmed, and the candles illuminated Han Qian's face with a gloomy look.

Han Qian was in a bad mood.

He even thought that without intervention, his father's ending in Xuzhou would not be better than that of Wang Yu. After all, neither of them had learned how to protect themselves wisely, or rather they did not bother to learn how to protect themselves wisely.

"As Gao Long, the daughter of the Gao Xi family, you must be able to understand the official memorials written by Wang Yu to the Ministry of Personnel and other academic officials."

Han Qian threw the last copy of the memorial to the desk with a "snap", stared at Mrs. Xi and said,

"There is such an official who cares about the local area and is expected to become a famous minister. Feng Changyu and other thieves will not tolerate him and just poison him to death. You two brothers and sisters are working as an accomplice. Do you really want your descendants of the Xi family to be like this for thousands of years?"

A slave to his surname?"

"The governor, Wang Wei, died of miasma. Who poisoned him?" Xi Rong did not think that her life experience could be hidden from Han Qian, but seeing Han Qian's expression so gloomy, she couldn't help but defend herself.

"One mouthful and one miasma. If you hadn't colluded and insisted on the same story, I might still have doubts, but you were instigated by Ji Kun to assassinate you. You should know that the third prince has to lead the Dragon Bird Army. It is my father and son who help the third prince."

The prince recruited tens of thousands of hungry people who were seriously infected with the disease. There were also six prisoners in the state prison who were infected with the miasma and were cured by my father. Do you really think when will the miasma occur? What are the symptoms when it occurs? I

Father and son are not clear in their minds?" Han Qian said with a cold smile.

"..." Xi Rong was speechless and wanted to argue a few more words that she didn't know about this, but then she thought about what she was talking nonsense to her brother-killer, so she kept silent.

"Do you still have the intention to kill me?" Han Qian asked, staring at Xi Rong.

"..." Xi Rong turned away, thinking to herself, what nonsense was he asking?

"If I can help you avenge your father's death and mother's humiliation, help your Xi family's children escape from slavery, and help your Xi family reestablish their clan, do you still want to kill me?" Han Qian asked.

Xi Rong wanted to say that Han Qian was just lying to a three-year-old, but she was speechless.

"You were instigated by Ji Kun to assassinate me. Are you really just avenging your brother's death? Are you thinking that if I die in Jingyun Village, my father will definitely send troops to kill Jingyun Village and bleed it into a river?" Han Qian stared at Xi.

With quick eyes, he asked, "Aside from Feng Changyu's humiliation of your mother and daughter, your father was killed by Ma Yuanheng. Did Feng Changyu really not do anything about it?"

Xi Rong was stunned, she couldn't figure out why Han Qian suddenly understood everything, as if she had been stripped naked in front of him and could no longer hide any secrets.

"Don't look confused. I'm not familiar with you, but I've been dealing with Ji Kun for more than two months. I still have some idea of ​​what kind of person he is. It's just a brother-death feud.

It's not enough to make Ji Kun believe that he can successfully convince you to assassinate me. He is such a cautious person and will not take action easily. If he is not 89% sure of something, how can he go and instigate someone to take risks?"

Han Qian took a breath and said.

Xi Rong understood why Han Qian could see through everything about her, but she didn't understand how deep a person's mind must be to understand everything in such a short period of time.

Han Qian continued: "...I have kept you by my side for the past two days. In fact, I have been wondering about this. I originally thought that I would wait for you to relax before I can trick you. However, someone told me your life story today. I

The doubts in my heart were dispelled by the wind. When you assassinated me in the village, you just thought that if I died, my father would send troops to attack Jingyun Village. You are not a person who is not afraid of death. You wanted to assassinate me.

Finally, Ji Kun will save your life, otherwise you won’t have to sacrifice your life to serve that bad old man Feng Changyu all these years. During the wedding night, when he is in bliss, there should be many opportunities for you to stab him to death with a sword.

Bar!"

"You..." Seeing that Han Qian spoke so unfavorably of herself, Xi Rong bit her tongue angrily, but found that she had no way to defend herself.

"Of course, your father was killed by Ma Yuanheng. I haven't found out whether Feng Changyu had any involvement in it. But if you don't tell me, it won't be difficult for me to find out." Han Qian held down the desk.

, stood up and said, "However, this matter has nothing to do with me. I will put you in the women's prison tomorrow. When the situation in Xuzhou truly stabilizes, I will release you. This is how I will deal with you.

, I guess you can’t blame me for not caring about flowers and cherishing jade, right?”

"When my grandfather was alive, he only had one daughter, my mother, and no other brothers and sisters. Feng Changyu had long wanted to marry my mother in order to annex the Xi family. When my mother married my father, Feng Changyu was Ma Yuanheng's assistant historian.

." Xi Rong lowered her head and said.

When Gao Shao asked Feng Xuan to inquire about Xi Rong's life experience, Feng Xuan did not make it clear that Gao Xi was the only daughter of the Xi family's new chieftain. Of course, this was not something Feng Xuan deliberately concealed, but he thought it was unimportant.

, or maybe Gao Shao didn't care about this.

However, Gao Xi is the only daughter of the previous chieftain of the Xi family. After Xi Cheng died, Xi Rong was the only daughter of the Gao Xi family. In theory, Xi Rong is the only heir of the Xi family; if the Xi family still exists

.

"If you put down your intention to kill me and your hatred for your brother's death, I can secretly help you redeem the children of the Xi family..." Han Qian stared at Xi Yin and said.

"Why are you helping me?" Xi Rong had seen Han Qian's cruel methods and would not believe that he had any good intentions.

"Within ten years, the children of the Xi family must be loyal to me, live for me, and die for me," Han Qian set out the conditions. "After ten years, I will give you your freedom and allow the Xi family to regain a foothold in this mountainous area.

! Then you don’t have to worry about Feng Changyu, Feng Jin and his son, they should have been wiped out long ago without even the bones and dregs left!"

"Is this true?" Xi Rong asked.

"What do you have that is worth deceiving me?" Han Qian smiled and said, "However, in order to make this happen, I can't let you stay with me without any reservations for no reason. I will ask someone to keep you by my side tomorrow.

Change the shackles on your feet to silver bells. From now on, when you are by my side, you must walk in front of me, not behind me. Let outsiders see that I am coveting your beauty, but at the same time, I am on guard.

You might kill me!"

Xi Rong's heart was in chaos. It had only been four or five days since she was captured by mistake, but what happened to Han Qian, or the many things that Han Qian deliberately let her see, had an impact on her heart.

How big it is, she herself doesn't know very well at this time...
