Wu Yu

Zhou Xiao tilted his head and looked at him worriedly, and carefully took Xie Lingyu's hand hanging by his side.

Xie Lingyu looked away as if nothing had happened, and held her little hand reassuringly, signaling that he was fine.

Only then did the little girl rest assured in his arms, and yawned slowly.

Knowing their wishes, Xie Lingyu waited patiently for the refugees to finish speaking, and then said, "Leave the rest to us, that... well, the previous son has already prepared, you don't have to Worry."

As he spoke, he handed the sleeping Zhou Xiao to her mother, and then he bowed his hands to everyone, and everyone got up.

"Everyone, I'm leaving in a few days. I can't see you rebuilding your home. Everyone live a good life. We will see you later."

The refugees got up to see him off, and were grateful to kneel down for him. Xie Lingyu couldn't stop so many people, so he had to get them up with a blushing face.

The refugees said that there is no repayment for the kindness of saving lives, and if there is anything they can help the two young masters in the future, they will never hesitate.

When leaving the tent, Xie Lingyu's heart was full and he went back to He's mansion and went straight to his room.

He pushed open the door and shouted, "Qingzhai."

"Hmm." A deep voice came from the side.

Xie Lingyu looked sideways and found that he was not wearing a mask today either. He was looking at the scenery with his chin resting on one hand, while the other hand was tapping rhythmically on the window sill.

Just as he was about to walk in, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he hesitated: "Is Xiao Hei here today?"

Qingqiu Jue finally gave him a look, full of sarcasm: "I went back to recuperate, I was frightened by you."

Xie Lingyu resentfully poured a glass of water to cover up his embarrassment: "I didn't mean that... Cough, as you expected, they are going to rebuild Qingcheng, and they don't want to separate."

"Well... I also asked me to tell you that there is no repayment for saving your life, just ask anyone who can help you in the future."

Qingqiu Jue lowered his eyes and shook his head, walked over and snatched the water Xie Lingyu poured for him, and drank it all in one gulp: "Leaving tomorrow?"

Xie Lingyu was slightly stunned, and the fingers that had lost the cup curled up unconsciously, and a bit of reluctance that he couldn't explain suddenly welled up in his heart.

He opened his mouth: "Yes... I will leave tomorrow."

As he said that, Xie Lingyu couldn't help asking: "How can I contact you after that, and what will I do next?"

After he finished speaking, he knew that he was quick to talk. Why did he act as if he was actively trying to get in touch with the son who poisoned him?

Qingqiu Jue took the time to return the cup to him: "Then Fox Mian or Hawk Eye will tell you what to do."

Xie Lingyu paused, lowered his head and touched his nose, as if nothing had happened: "What about you?"

Qingqiu Jue moved closer and stared at him: "Reluctant to part with me?"

Xie Lingyu had an absurd expression on his face: "I'm afraid no one will give me an antidote if something happens to you."

Qingqiu Jue sneered, stood up straight and walked out: "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."

"In many capacities."

Xie Lingyu looked at his back as he left, thoughtful.

From this point of view, the capital city is not as stable as it looks on the surface, and other forces may have been silently implanted in it, but the master ridiculously thinks that he has everything under control.

Xie Lingyu also stood up and went to the government.

Military officer He was there with a donkey face, sitting on a chair and supervising them to check the accounts and order food.

Zhang Sui had changed his handkerchief several times, and was sweating non-stop. When he saw Xie Lingyu approaching from afar, his knees softened.

The people next to him quickly supported him, and they all talked about their concern: "My lord! Are you all right, my lord..."

Zhang Sui waved them away sadly: "Oh! Get out of the way!"

Turning to Xie Lingyu with a flattering smile: "My lord is here, please sit down quickly."

As he spoke, he glared at the person next to him, and said viciously: "What are you doing in a daze, prepare tea!"

The man responded again and again, Zhang Sui changed his face as if he was singing a Beijing opera, and he brought a chair to him with a smile.

Xie Lingyu thanked him, and he was not polite. He sat down and the first sentence he opened made Zhang Sui almost cry: "Is the bill checked?"

Zhang Sui's lips trembled and turned pale.

At this time, Military Officer He came over and sneered: "Master Zhang, are you going to ask the superiors to clean up the mess for you?"

Zhang Sui knelt down for them with a "plop", tears streaming down his face.

Xie Lingyu looked at Military Officer He: "How much is the difference?"

Military Officer He's voice was so loud that half the courtyard could hear clearly: "The imperial court has distributed the silver taels long ago, Mr. Zhang has swallowed most of it privately, and the same is true for the food, almost discrediting the imperial court, bah!"

As he spoke, he even spat at Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui's crying stopped instantly, and he raised his head pale, with a look of bewilderment and panic: "No, it's impossible!"

He is greedy, but he is even more afraid of death. What he is greedy for is petty gains, and the imperial court has not allocated funds at all!

Military Officer He looked at him gloomily, with a cryptic warning in his eyes, Zhang Sui was dumb, and lowered his head decadently, he knew clearly in his heart that he was going to take the blame for himself, and this old life might still be possible. Can't keep it.

Xie Lingyu calmly took the hot tea handed over by the officials, took a panoramic view of their expressions, and the corner of his mouth raised a mocking arc that looked like Qingqiu Jue.

It's really a good plan.

Xie Lingyu cleared his throat, Military Officer He looked away as if nothing had happened, just wanted to remind this stunned young man not to make matters worse, otherwise the court's reputation will be damaged, and His Majesty will not be able to explain it.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingyu was very upright this time, and said in a bewitching tone: "Surely Mr. Zhang doesn't want to make things big, either?"

Zhang Sui raised his head, hope flashed in his small eyes: "My lord, give the young one a chance to make up for his mistakes, the old ones..."

Xie Lingyu smiled and didn't let him continue: "I don't want to embarrass you either. Make up the allocation and do more good deeds. This matter is over, how about it?"

Zhang Sui burst into tears of gratitude, and said again and again: "Don't worry, my lord! I promise you, I will make up the debt and do more good deeds!"

Xie Lingyu nodded in satisfaction.

While military officer He was a little surprised, he felt that Xie Lingyu was special this time, which saved him a lot of trouble, and he planned to say something nice when he reported to His Majesty later, because he looked like a stunned young man after all.

What's more, under his nose every day, can he really conspire with others?

Xie Lingyu completed the task and told Military Officer He to "deter" Zhang Sui, not to spread remarks that smeared the court, which made Military Officer He more sure that he was one of his own, and assured him that it was his own.

Xie Lingyu walked away in a relaxed state of mind and body. The moment he stepped out of the official residence, he let out a foul breath.

The corrupt officials in Qingcheng asked to be executed within a few days, and the imperial court allocated funds to allow the refugees to survive, and Zhang Sui was greedy for petty gains to pay off his debts.

On the whole, things went very well.

Back at the He Mansion, Xie Lingyu saw Meng Yi and He Wei sitting carelessly on the threshold, with wine in hand, and waved at him.

He walked over and carried them back to the mansion one by one in each hand.

When they walked to the front hall, He Wei lay down on the table listlessly, with a sad expression on his face: "Brother, you guys are leaving again."

Meng Yi also sighed, and looked at Xie Lingyu eagerly: "Yunlou..."

Xie Lingyu looked at the two and felt that he really seemed to be a father. He suppressed a sigh: "The emperor's order is hard to break. Your Majesty said that we will leave immediately."

Seeing He Wei's mouth deflated, Xie Lingyu hurriedly said: "However, I have something to ask you. After the matter is completed, you can come to the capital for a short stay, how about it?"

He Wei reacted extremely quickly, surprised: "You mean..."

Xie Lingyu nodded: "Bring me half of your collection of black and white Wenyu chess, isn't that justifiable?"

Meng Yi pouted, dissatisfied: "Hey, what charades are you two playing?"

He Wei looked at Xie Lingyu, saw that Xie Lingyu didn't stop him, so he leaned over and explained to him.
