Bai Yuhui gritted his teeth and said, "What did I lie to you for? It really hurts."

"You have lied to me a lot. How could you have been punished? Dali Temple doesn't have the means to beat you to death."

Bai Yuhui smiled bitterly and said, "Shangshu ordered the beating."

Jin Lingyue helped Bai Yuhui to climb onto the bed, and said: "You have a good relationship with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but he is willing to beat you? Hehe, it seems that you are just friends. It's not that I want to draw a clear line with you immediately."

"That's right, it's like this in the officialdom. You've only been here for a while, and you'll get used to it after a long time. Come on, I have medicine here, can you wipe it on for me?" Bai Yuhui tremblingly took out the medicine from his arms. The other bottles and jars were placed in Jin Lingyue's hands.

Jin Lingyue didn't say much, picked up the small medicine jar and looked it over carefully, it was indeed medicine to stop bleeding.

Looking at the increasingly red clothes, Jin Lingyue finally couldn't bear it, so she slowed down her voice and said, "If you're not at home to recover from your injuries, what are you doing running out? Don't you always pretend that you don't know me? Why don't you just pretend?" gone?"

Bai Yuhui buried his head in the quilt, and said, "I miss you so much, I can't do it if you don't come."

Jin Lingyue's fingers taking the ointment paused in the air, and then covered Bai Yuhui's lower back more gently.

"You... how have you been these few years?"

Bai Yuhui was so irritated by the icy cold feeling on his back that he gasped and trembled when he spoke.

"It's not bad, it's not bad, eat enough and dress warmly, but it's not as happy as when we were young."

Jin Lingyue wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Bai Yuhui's murmuring words.

"I ran out secretly. Someone in the mansion covered me, but it couldn't be covered for too long. I was afraid that people would find out my whereabouts along the way. I walked all the way, so I was fast, but tired. Brother, let me rest for a while. What? Don't even ask, I just want to rest here with you for a while. If you are angry that I abandoned you back then, and you want to kill or cut me, you can come to me at will. I am like this, and I can't pay back anything. The emperor asked me to check it myself After the death of the old Shangshu, I have to sneak back as soon as possible, so junior brother, if you don’t want to kill or fight, don’t ask, okay?”

Jin Lingyue agreed: "Okay, I'll talk about it later. Don't move, I'll give you the medicine first."

Brushing her hand over Bai Yuhui's back, Jin Lingyue couldn't help but lifted up her clothes, wanting to find out.

What kind of feel is that?When I touched it suddenly, it seemed that it was just a wound made by the board, but there seemed to be many hard things on the edge of the wound that my finger brushed against.

After Jin Lingyue saw those black and purple scars, she felt sick for a moment.

If it wasn't his senior brother lying on the bed, the senior brother he likes terribly, looking at these old and new scars now, he would definitely be able to spit them out on the spot.

"Isn't it ugly?" Bai Yuhui asked shyly.

As soon as Jin Lingyue lifted up his clothes, he regretted it a little.

He shouldn't have let Jin Lingyue see these disgusting scars.

"Well, it's ugly. Did you...have you been caught peeking at another young lady's bath and beaten up?" Jin Lingyue said jokingly, her hands applying the medicine became more gentle.

"You still know me, Junior Brother."

"I don't ask about your past, but about your present. Why are you being boarded?" Jin Lingyue finished wiping off the bleeding wound, and was going to wipe the old and new scars together.It doesn't matter if it works or not, but just watching and doing nothing, he feels very sorry.

"They suspect that I poisoned the old Shangshu. Hehe, they underestimate me."

"How are you going to investigate? Do you have any clues? Need me?"

"The poison is special. It's not a big problem to find the source of the poison and go down the vine. What about you? Are you going well here?"

The conversation between the two was getting better when there was a slight sound from the roof.

Although Bai Yuhui was a little drowsy, he didn't relax his vigilance and got up to investigate.

It was too late, and then it was too late, and following the sound of "My lord" in the room, Bai Yuhui was completely covered by the bed curtain that Jin Lingyue tore off.

Bai Yuhui was about to break free when he heard a few people outside the bed curtain talking.

"My lord, you asked me to come here quietly so that no one would notice me. After thinking about it, it's the best way to get in without anyone noticing."

"Well, that's good too. Is this your sister?"

"My brother said that you need to find a local agent to inquire about things. I know everything here, so you can just ask me. By the way, little brother, you look younger than my brother. You are really a big official. Are you better than him? " My brother just became a guard with swords in front of the imperial court, are you better than him?" The little girl's voice was clear and sweet, like a nightingale at night, making the dull night brighter.

"Don't be rude to adults."

Jin Lingyue said with a smile: "Your brother is too modest. Not everyone can do the job of guarding the imperial court with a sword."

The little girl was even happier when she heard it, and then she saw a human-like lump on the bed that was tightly wrapped by the bed curtain.

"Then... what is that?" The little girl asked in surprise.

Zhu Zhao obviously saw the world more than the little girl, so he hurriedly pulled the little girl's sleeves, and used himself to block her view of the bed: "Xiao Xianxian, don't look at evil, have you forgotten?"

The girl named Xiao Xianxian smiled and said: "Brother, when you climbed the roof just now, why didn't you think about seeing no evil. In case we came at the wrong time, this pretty little brother is having sex with the person on the bed..."

The more Zhu Zhao heard it, the more wrong it became, he quickly covered his sister's mouth with his hands, and scolded softly: "Little girl, what are you talking about. I'm not at home on weekdays, what have you learned?"

"Okay, I see." The little girl broke free and pouted, "Ask what you want to ask, I'll go back to sleep later."

Jin Lingyue glanced at Bai Yuhui who was pretending to be a dead body on the bed, and said to the siblings: "Let's go to the next door, there are people who want to ask some questions. You wait a moment, I'll go and get everyone outside."

As soon as Jin Lingyue left, the little girl became even more curious about the person on the bed, and every time she stretched her neck to look at it, her brother blocked her tightly.

"You two, come this way." Jinling Yue greeted from outside the house.

After the two brothers and sisters left the room, Jin Lingyue came in and cleared the bed curtain from Bai Yuhui's body, and said softly, "Take a break first, I'll go to the next door to ask about the Sun Moon Embankment. I have ordered, this room No one will come in the house, rest assured and wait for me."

Bai Yuhui was really sleepy from being covered by the bed curtain, he nodded in a daze and said, "Okay."

The door opened and closed, and the room became quiet again.

Bai Yuhui adjusted his posture and climbed onto Jin Lingyue's pillow.

After a few days of turbulence, I can finally rest well.Bai Yuhui fell asleep quickly, plunging into the pillow with the fragrance of Jinling Moon, like Bai Yuhui's tranquilizing medicine, which made him fall into a sweet dream all at once.

Here Bai Yuhui was sleeping soundly, while a few people in the next room were sitting around, listening to Xiao Xianxian talk about the people and things around Riyue mentioned in recent years.

Similar to what Jinling Yuebai Li inquired about, after taking office, Zhu and Xiaozhu began to make a big fuss with the Riyue Dike, either collecting tolls or raising funds to strengthen the Riyue Dike.

Xiao Zhu just deducted some appropriations from the imperial court and replaced the original materials with some defective products to earn a little difference.

Da Zhu went too far.

Knowing that this business is lucrative, I have raised funds several times during the period.

The argument to the people is that the surrounding neighboring countries have been eyeing our Shengjin Kingdom, and the surrounding areas have been fighting continuously. Most of the country's financial resources are used to support the front line, so there is no time to take care of things like reinforcing the river embankment.The country has no money to strengthen it, we can pay for it ourselves, which can be regarded as contributing to the country in disguise.

At first, this set of rhetoric was quite convincing, because it was true, and everyone knew that there were constant wars in the surrounding areas. Since Mr. Zhu said so, everyone would have the money to contribute money and forcefully.

Therefore, those inferior materials were all taken out of the pockets of ordinary people.

During the construction period, some people also questioned that this material does not look very strong, should we replace it with a strong one.

Master Zhu just smiled after hearing this, and said: "The financial resources are limited, if we raise more money in the future, we will naturally have to exchange for better ones."

The implication is that you think the material is inferior, okay, you pay more, and you call on everyone to pay more soon.

Gradually, everyone took it easy and acquiesced to Mr. Zhu's behavior.

With Master Zhu's blatant support, Master Zhu is even more unscrupulous.

Even the routine of releasing water to the downstream to fight drought every year can allow him to earn an extra sum of money for opening the gate.

If Mr. Zhu doesn't say these things, no one will know.

Master Da Zhu is not only greedy for money, but also lustful.

He has several concubines raised outside the mansion.

The concubines have nothing to do on weekdays, so they like to get together and compare who gets the most gifts and who gets the most pocket money.

That day, the two concubines quarreled on the street because they felt it was unfair.

The words rushed out, and all these horrific things were brought out in one brain.

Although Master Zhu immediately sent someone to stop the nonsense of the two concubines, the words that were said and the water that was thrown were still heard by the passers-by who were watching.

Xiao Xianxian was one of the onlookers.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry has been in office for decades, and he knows a little about the following deductions. As long as it is not too excessive, it is justified on the scene. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is impossible to personally intervene in everything.

But the officialdom here at Sun Moon Embankment has become so chaotic, he did not expect it.

Thinking of this, Minister of the Ministry of Industry suddenly had an idea, and asked: "Little girl, do you know how this Mr. Zhu became the county magistrate? And Mr. Zhu, you just said that he doesn't even know a single word." , but really? Literacy is the basic requirement for court officials."

Jin Lingyue was startled, is this going to make a big fuss?

He suddenly remembered the bruises on his back he saw just now.

There is also Bai Yuhui's sentence "It's like this in officialdom, just get used to it."

His senior brother, did he live in this kind of misfortune every day?

His dissatisfaction with his senior brother has been reduced by more than half.

At least in the days he didn't know, his senior brother didn't live as easily as the rumors outside.

Maybe it was because of this that he didn't find him in time.

It must be like this, Jin Lingyue comforted herself.
