After chatting for a while about the county reform, when the freshness wore off, Yin Jianghong left.
Now that the list is in hand, the last piece of the puzzle to rectify Fengzhou has been completed. As for whether those people on the list will be killed or retained, Jiang Beiran doesn't care at all.
'Is it finally coming to an end...'
Starting from the Hidden Moon Sect incident, the turmoil caused by the previous emperor is finally about to subside, and Fengzhou will also usher in a new situation. Everything will still be the same, but it will become different.
'That silly head was delivered on time.'
Jiang Beiran looked at the starry sky and sighed.
It was originally on the schedule to cause some trouble for the Liang Kingdom, but due to the sudden arrival of a certain fool, the forces in the Liang Kingdom should have thought that the Sheng Kingdom court was once again being used by them, and there is a high probability that they will not bother them again in the short term.
.
Inside the palace.
"Ah~ it hurts, senior sister, please be gentler, it hurts! It's really going to burst!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Senior Sister, what did I do wrong? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Senior sister, what did I do wrong? Your Majesty, help me!"
"You still have the nerve to call yourself the emperor! Let's see how I deal with you today!"
…
With a "bang", the door of the royal study room was pushed open. Looking at Mu Yao who kept tearing at Kong Qianqian's mouth, Jiang Beiran frowned.
Seeing the emperor's unhappy look, Mu Yao immediately let go of Kong Qianqian and saluted: "Your Majesty."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu haven’t you come, senior sister..." Kong Qianqian shouted as she ran towards Jiang Beiran aggrievedly.
"It's getting more and more unruly. Get fifty bucks." Jiang Beiran looked at Kong Qianqian and shouted.
"It's not me...it's Senior Sister, she..."
"Do you want me to say it a second time?" Jiang Beiran stared at Kong Qianqian and asked.
"Ugh... this slave accepts the order." After saying this, Kong Qianqian lowered her head and went out.
After Kong Qianqian left, Jiang Beiran closed the door and looked at Mu Yao and said, "Have you told Qianqian?"
Mu Yao immediately shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, I didn't tell him that I already knew."
"If you do this suddenly, doesn't it mean you are telling her that you already know?"
After hearing this, Mu Yao shook her head again and explained: "Your Majesty, don't worry. With Qianqian's brain, you will never think of it."
'That's true...'
He agreed with Mu Yao's statement in his heart, but Jiang Beiran still frowned and said: "Then you have to be more careful. If I find out that you can't keep a secret, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes... I obey the order." Mu Yao lowered her head and said.
But when Jiang Beiran turned his back, he immediately made a face.
"You also get a hundred boards." Jiang Beiran sat on the dragon table and said.
"I..." Although she wanted to protest, as soon as she felt the emperor's aura, Mu Yao obeyed and went away.
"Shougui." Jiang Beiran raised his head and shouted.
"My servant is here." Wang Shougui, who was waiting at the door, immediately came in and saluted.
"Go and call Deng Xianghan."
"I obey~" Wang Shougui said and immediately went to the Yihua Hall next door.
After a while, Deng Xianghan was led to the imperial study by Wang Shougui. Jiang Beiran nodded and waved to Wang Shougui: "Go down."
"I obey." After Wang Shougui saluted, he immediately walked out backwards.
When the door to the imperial study room was closed, Jiang Beiran said directly: "Your father will never come back."
Deng Xianghan's mouth opened slightly, and her expression froze at first, then she held her face and began to sob softly, getting louder and louder.
Although she knew that her father would probably not come back, she always had a sense of luck in her heart. Now her last hope was shattered, and the string that had been supporting her strength was finally completely broken.
But Deng Xianghan's catharsis only lasted for a short while. Soon she wiped away her tears and knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I couldn't save your father, so what's the point of thanking you?"
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your willingness to help me."
Looking at Deng Xianghan kneeling in front of the case, Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and said, "But I can keep you mother and daughter safe. From now on, you can live in the palace with peace of mind."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Deng Xianghan knocked his head on the ground and shouted.
Hearing another burst of sobs, Jiang Beiran didn't say anything. He picked up a copy of "The Biography of Lu Ye" and started reading it, letting Deng Xianghan digest it slowly.
After a while of burning incense, Deng Xianghan, who had cried until he had no energy left, shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, can I tell my mother and sisters about this matter?"
"Well, go ahead." Jiang Beiran waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After saying this, Deng Xianghan was about to get up, but found that his legs were a little numb, so he had to limp back outside.
Deng Xianghan, who opened the door and walked out, happened to meet the duo who had just returned.
After nodding his greetings to Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian, Deng Xianghan continued to limp out of the Jingxin Hall.
When Deng Xianghan walked away, Kong Qianqian gloated to Mu Yao in a low voice: "Senior sister, senior sister, do you think she also got beaten up? She pretends to be more serious than us."
Seeing Deng Xianghan with red eyes and a limp walking out of the royal study, Mu Yao always felt weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird. She felt like she had seen this kind of situation before in the church.
After thinking for a long time, Mu Yao looked away, raised her hand and knocked on the door twice.
Hearing "come in", Mu Yao opened the door and walked in with Kong Qianqian.
Looking at Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian limping in, Jiang Beiran waved and said: "Mu Yao, come here."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yao immediately walked up quickly, not even bothering to pretend to be lame, because she knew it must be a memorial.
"I have read all the memorials you revised, why are there so many blanks?"
Mu Yao quickly replied: "Because of those memorials, I was a little undecided. I was planning to ask the Emperor just now."
"It's prudent, so I'll tell you."
Jiang Beiran said, taking out a memorial that Mu Yao had not corrected and explaining it to her.
Memorials can be said to be one of the representative measures of centralization. Local political, economic, military, and cultural daily and emergency affairs and incidents need to be reported.
After the emperor sees the content of these reports, he will give a reply. If it is a more routine report, he will stamp it with a seal, or approve it as having been read. If he is in a good mood, he can also write "good".
And if it is an emergency or an incident, or something that requires instructions, you should give your views, opinions and methods on the incident. If you feel that the person who drafted the memorial is a talented person, you can also invite him to the palace to discuss it.
of.
Of course, because Jiang Beiran can fly, when he sees an interesting memorial, he will sit directly in Xiangyun and go there to meet the official who wrote the memorial.
While Jiang Beiran was teaching Mu Yao how to correct memorials, in Guixin Sect and Shuijing Hall, Liu Zijin and his party, who had just finished taking a medicinal bath, came to the hall of Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and thanked the hall master. The five of them looked around quietly.
After a while, I hope to see my senior brother come out suddenly like last time.
"Stop looking for it, go back and rest quickly, we have to practice new moves tomorrow." Yu Manwen glared at them and shouted.
"Yes!" The five people responded in unison, bowed their hands toward the protector and the hall master, and stepped back.
As soon as the five golden flowers left, Shi Fenglan, who was sitting upright, instantly "collapsed" and pouted as if she had shrunk: "Why didn't Xiao Beiran come today? You obviously promised to play with me for a few more days last time.
,big liar!"
"He has a lot of things to be busy with right now. I see that the sect leader recalled Bai Shan and Zuo Xiang a few days ago, probably just for Jiang Beiran. You know, if it's not a big deal, the sect leader usually won't call them back together.
"
"Ugh~" Shi Fenglan held her chin with her hands and sighed: "What big thing could it be..."
After saying that, Shi Fenglan's eyes suddenly lit up and she said to Manwen, "I'm going out for a trip. I'll come back tomorrow. Manwen, please help me keep an eye on it."
"Why!"
Seeing Shi Fenglan disappearing from sight like the wind, Yu Manwen looked confused.
'Why did I learn the same thing as that person, one after another.'
On the way to the accommodation area, Liu Zijin stretched and said, "Do you feel that you feel more comfortable after taking medicinal baths in the past few days, and your skills seem to have improved more than before."
The three Yu family sisters immediately nodded in unison.
"I've always wanted to say that! In the past few days, after taking a bath, my whole body feels numb, as if the medicine has penetrated into my body."
"I felt like I was about to break through after taking a bath yesterday. During the medicinal bath, the spiritual energy kept flowing into my body."
"Me too, me too!"
Looking at the three people who agreed very much, Fang Qiuyao also nodded in agreement, but soon said strangely: "Why is the difference in effect so big? I have seen that the medicinal materials in the bathtub have not changed at all, the only difference is...
…It’s all put into a bag.”
After hearing this, the three sisters of the Yu family exclaimed at the same time: "Wow, Sister Qiu Yao, you are so attentive, you have discovered all this."
"Fortunately, I just wanted to understand the ingredients of the medicinal materials so that I could understand that I owe the hall master a lot of favors."
"Oh~" The three sisters nodded at the same time, "So that's it, we never thought about this at all."
After sighing, three identical faces approached Fang Qiuyao at the same time and said with wide eyes: "So, why do you think the medicinal bath is more effective?"
Looking at the three pairs of big shining eyes, Fang Qiuyao fell into deep thought.
At this time, Liu Zijin on the side said: "I have a guess..."
"What, what!?" The three Yu family sisters approached Liu Zijin at the same time and asked curiously.
"My personal feeling is... since I saw senior brother in Tinglan Waterside Pavilion that day, when I took a medicinal bath the next day, the medicinal materials were put into the bag. Do you think it could be..."
"Wow~oh~" The three sisters of the Yu family turned their heads in an exaggerated manner: "Sister Zijin, you are more attentive. When you say that, it seems that this is really the case."
Fang Qiuyao also nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, the medicinal materials in the medicinal bath changed after meeting senior brother."
After Fang Qiuyao finished speaking, she remembered the "Senior Brother's Brand" Qingxin Pill that she had always kept in her arms, and was sure that her senior brother definitely had such an ability.
For a moment, the five people suddenly felt a little excited.
The three sisters of the Yu family jumped and said.
"It turns out that senior brother is secretly caring about us!"
"Yes! I suddenly feel so motivated! I will practice for an extra hour tomorrow!"
"I want it too, I want it too!"
Seeing the three people's excitement, Liu Zijin smiled and said: "It's just a guess, it may not be true."
But the three sisters of the Yu family believed that this was the truth and walked around in circles hand in hand, feeling inexplicably excited.
Looking at Fang Qiuyao again, she was smiling foolishly with one hand in her arms. It was obvious that she had accepted her guess as the truth.
"Alas~"
Sighing and shaking his head, Liu Zijin's mood became more complicated.
Ever since she was little, there have been as many people as crucian carp crossing the river who have asked her about her welfare, but this is the first time that she has cared about her secretly without telling her.
'Senior brother, does he care about us or not...'
For a moment, Liu Zijin fell into a tangle. She hoped that her senior brother would care about them, but at the same time, she hoped that her senior brother could dislike her a little more. It would be better if he could reprimand her a few more words.
'It's so hard to choose...'
After a while, the three sisters of the Yu family who had finished celebrating stretched out their hands and folded them together to encourage each other: "Since senior brother is helping us like this, it means that he is also looking forward to the day when we defeat senior brother Wu!"
"Yes! Defeat Senior Brother Wu!"
"Defeat Senior Brother Wu, oh!!!"
At this time, Fang Qiuyao also pressed her hand on Yu Guimiao's hand, waved her fist and said, "Defeat Senior Brother Wu!"
After speaking, four pairs of eyes looked at Liu Zijin at the same time.
Liu Zijin laughed first, then put his hand on Fang Qiuyao's and shouted: "Defeat Senior Brother Wu!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh!!!"
The five people cheered and continued walking back confidently.
"By the way, my dad is coming to town in two days, and I have to visit his old man, so I have to take leave that day." When they were about to reach the accommodation area, Fang Qiuyao suddenly said.
"Huh?" Liu Zijin was surprised, "My father is coming to town in two days, and I wanted to tell you tomorrow."
"Hey!?"*3
The three sisters of the Yu family also exclaimed at the same time, "Is it such a coincidence? Our father also came to town in two days."
"Huh?" The five people looked at each other, feeling that something was a little strange.
After a while, Liu Zijin asked first: "What did your father come to town for this time?"
Fang Qiuyao answered first: "Dad said he came to see me and do some things."
"Our father said so too." The three sisters of the Yu family said at the same time.
Liu Zijin: "My father is too..."
After saying that, the five of them shook their heads together and sighed in their hearts, men have to talk and lie, even dad.
'That's why senior brother is different!'
At this moment, the five of them all knew that their father must be here to do something important, and it was just a way to visit them.
"Don't you know what's going on?" Liu Zijin asked.
"Well, dad didn't say that in the letter." The three sisters of the Yu family nodded at the same time.
"It's strange...what brings our father to come to town together?" Fang Qiuyao frowned and thought.
"I'll find out if I ask then."
"That's right. Let's go down the mountain together in two days."
"Yeah."
"Then let's go and ask for leave from Protector Yu tomorrow. Maybe we can ask what happened."
"It makes sense. Protector Yu always knows a lot of things. If you ask her, you will definitely know the reason."
