I heard Mr. Ye is a good dragon?

Chapter 49 Old Acquaintances

"you sure?"

Bai Long frowned slightly, suspecting that Ye Heng didn't believe that he had the ability to make up a good speech, but Ye Heng turned his back to him, didn't notice his subtle emotions, and just continued:

"Although I haven't supervised the porridge distribution before, I have given porridge to the capital during snow disasters in previous years. I remember that it was not that difficult at that time. It was basically a matter of finding a Taoist temple - the place is large and the manpower is readily available. , as long as the rice is transported over, everyone will give the money in place. It is the name of the chamber of commerce, and those who donate the big money will take turns to show their faces, and it will be done."

After Ye Heng finished speaking, he looked up and saw someone coming to remove the pot and bowl, so he put down his pen and explained to them how to paint the characters and leaves, and then said: "I'm going to Gaofu, I won't go It's time to eat, if you are still hungry, you can go to my house to have a meal in turn, and ask the cook to share the dishes prepared for me."

Seeing Gao Jiayi, before Ye Heng opened his mouth, the other party said solemnly: "I heard about your matter. The inspection department just disclosed the news to me in the morning, saying that the rainwater wiped out all the evidence left on the body. It’s almost time to rush, but what is certain is that those people were all drowned, and the wounds on their bodies were hit right after they died.”

Ye Heng came to a sudden: "In other words, those injuries were caused by them to blame me!"

"That's right, but..." Gao Jiayi showed a trace of regret, "There are too few people patrolling at night, and I'm afraid it will be hard to find the real culprit. This will become an unsolved case. The effect will be greatly reduced.”

Ye Heng had expected this to be the case, and waved his hands and said: "... Forget it, someone will always pour dirty water, and I can hide if I can't provoke it. I came today to tell you about the porridge shed that opened first ,I intend to……"

He told Gao Jiayi of his decision, and finally apologized: "I demolished it without telling you first. I'm also very sorry. After the rain stops, I will definitely make it up to you."

Gao Jiayi shook his head and said: "Where, you have suffered such a crime, and it is normal to close the porridge shed." He said angrily, "Don't worry about that thief! I have sent someone to watch him secretly, Yu I will be able to find out his faults before I stop, and if he has the courage and opportunity to retire next spring, I have plenty of ways to deal with him."

Ye Heng nodded first, and then reacted: "Why, did he also refer to it this year?"

"Yes, I heard from another young master who took part in the literary examination."

Upon hearing this, Ye Heng cupped his hands and said, "There were so many things before, I forgot about this, so Brother Gao is already on the list, right? Congratulations!"

"According to the situation during the exam, I must be on the list. However, due to the heavy rain this year, it may be due to the inconvenience of people traveling, so the list has not been released yet. It is still unknown who is on the list." Gao Jiayi sighed "Otherwise, my father wouldn't let me hide at home so cautiously."

"Why is this called shrunken?" Seeing that he was a little frustrated, Ye Heng reached out and grabbed a large pear on the fruit plate in front of him, took a bite, and jokingly said, "You and sister-in-law have nothing to do every day." Staying in the mansion carefree, I'm envious before it's too late!"

Gao Jiayi blushed immediately: "What carefree, Miao Miao..."

"What's wrong with me!"

The door of the room suddenly opened wide with a "boom", and when Ye Heng turned around, he saw the aggressive woman from last time—presumably the "Miao Miao" Gao Jiayi said.

Ye Heng put down the pear and was about to say hello when she saw Miao Miao walking towards Gao Jiayi aggressively: "I knew you were going to speak ill of me today, so I caught you!"

"Where am I going to say bad things!" Gao Jiayi preemptively went up and hugged Miao Miao, "Besides, how can you listen to the wall?"

Miaomiao was agile, she broke free from his restraint with a swing of her waist, and gave him another slap: "You don't make me suspicious by being sneaky, why should I come to listen to your wall?"

Gao Jiayi dodged sideways and grabbed her arm: "Brother Ye and I are talking about important events, so of course we can't make a big fuss!"

The two of them exchanged words one by one, and Ye Heng couldn't leave before he finished speaking, so he simply closed the door and leaned against the corner by himself, eating pears while gaining insight into the situation, trying to interject at the right time ease the conflict between the two.

Probably because he thought it was too embarrassing to fight in front of Ye Heng, and Gao Jiayi's moves were also very fierce, but every time he really caught someone, he didn't really use his hands very hard, because he didn't want to confront his unmarried wife, but to show I didn't do anything shady, and I didn't suffer from Miaomiao's dirty water.

Miaomiao gradually understood what he meant, so she gave up temporarily, but squeezed together on the seat holding Gao Jiayi's arms: "I will listen to what you have to say."

Gao Jiayi reluctantly hugged her onto his lap and sat down: "Okay, okay, listen."

Ye Heng came out from the corner, put down the pear core, wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Gao and sister-in-law are so close."

Only then did Miaomiao look at him seriously, and asked, "Where are my tall siblings?"

Before Ye Heng could answer, Gao Jiayi squeezed her hand lightly first, then turned to Ye Heng and said, "My dear brother, don't be surprised, Miao Miao is a Miao girl who doesn't understand the red tape of communication between Beijing and China. Sometimes I can't speak fluently."

"No, no, I haven't read any books myself." Ye Heng said to Miaomiao, "You are talking about Jiang Xun, right! I was afraid that you might have some misunderstandings when you saw him, so I asked him to wait for me on the boat gone."

"You can let him in," Miaomiao seemed to think that he was very good, and told him very generously, "I'll be fine if I look at him."

Ye Heng has always liked straightforward people, and he didn't feel offended at all, but found her interesting: "Then I'll let him in next time! Forget it this time, I'll rush to the west of the city if I say anything else."

Seeing this, Miaomiao stopped talking, grabbed Gao Jiayi's hand, and began to pinch his fingers to play, and Ye Heng didn't waste any more time, and said bluntly to Gao Jiayi: "Brother Gao, can your hands be replaced again?" Lend me for a while? I'm going to find another place to give porridge."

"No problem, I planned to borrow those people to the end." Gao Jiayi followed Miaomiao to talk about himself, and only looked at Ye Heng intently, "Where do you plan to build the porridge shed this time?" Woolen cloth?"

Ye Heng shook his head: "The location hasn't been fully decided yet, but this time I don't plan to build a shed, it's too time-consuming, I plan to requisition the existing temples directly, those places are far away from the downtown area, and I will occasionally take in some people to place orders Staying overnight, taking this opportunity, I can also give some of the food to the masters in the temple, so that they can also eat."

"Is this appropriate? Didn't the superiors not allow people to make big offerings in the temple?"

Ye Heng said disapprovingly: "It's okay. If these monks agree to help maintain order and participate in the porridge, then it will be considered as my hiring them, and this will not be counted as offering."

After thinking about it, Gao Jiayi felt that it made sense: "That's good."

"By the way! I have one more question to ask." From the corner of his eyes, Ye Heng saw Miaomiao pinching a lock of Gao Jiayi's hair and braiding it into a small braid. She endured the pain with a smile, and her speech speed became faster. Is there an order to open a position?"

"Yes, there is porridge at the city gate in the northwest, but the time is not long, and the capital has been sealed off. Except for some officials, there are charcoal carts and vegetable carts, and everyone else has to go through extremely strict inquiries when entering and leaving." Gao Chiayi didn't change his face, as if he was used to Miaomiao's actions, "It's difficult for the Holy Majesty to do it this time. It's raining in several nearby state capitals, and the palace has allocated funds to rescue the water. Now the bank of the moat is about to be raised into a building. The wall is broken, but the rain hasn't stopped. If this continues, giving porridge will become more and more important and difficult. If you are not careful, let alone you and me, even the reputation of the Holy Majesty will be dragged down."

After talking, Ye Heng was in a heavy mood, until he reached the gate of the Gao Mansion, he settled down, put away his expression, and stepped out of the door as if nothing had happened—not to hide it from Bai Long, but to hide it from Bai Long. He didn't want others to share his displeasure.

But when he walked to the front of the boat, he found that the boat was empty.

"Bailong?" He called out in surprise, but not loudly, because it was inconvenient to make a noise in front of his friend's house, "Bailong?"

He yelled four or five times but got no response, turned around and wanted to ask the gatekeeper of the Gao Mansion, but just as he took a step, a voice sounded behind him: "Here."

Ye Heng turned around quickly, saw Bailong leaping behind him from a tree at the corner of the street, and asked, "What are you doing there?"

"...You haven't come out for a long time, I'm worried about you, so I went up to take a look." Bai Long said, his gaze slipped from his eyes to his hands, "Why did you bring out a bowl of fruit?"

"Oh! This," Ye Heng handed the bowl of fruit to him, "Miao Miao gave it."

Bailong looked suspicious: "Who is Miaomiao?"

"It's the little lady who carried Brother Gao away last time, the one who was betrothed to him," Ye Heng said as he walked onto the boat, and began to unsteadily pull the rope on the bollard. "It's my sister-in-law. Bar."

Bailong boarded the boat with melons and fruits in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Then why do you call her Miaomiao?"

"I don't know her boudoir name. Brother Gao called her that, so I followed...eh?" Ye Heng suddenly reacted, turned to look at his calm face, and immediately laughed, "Why do you still eat like a little girl? Vinegar? Everyone asked me to bring it for you to eat."

Bailong sat on the boat tent holding the basin, half of his face disappeared in the shadow: "I don't like sweets, this is what you like."

Ye Heng laughed and tore off the rope, and walked briskly into the canopy with him: "Understood, then I will call you Xun Xun from now on, okay? I will call you Xun Xun in front of everyone, how is this treatment?" Sample?"

Bailong snorted, and stuffed the melon and fruit back into Ye Heng's arms: "Go to the porridge shed?"

"Well... No, let's go home first, I need to find someone."

Bailong steered the boat to the middle of the street: "Who are you looking for?"

"Well..." Ye Heng put down the fruit, turned around and hugged his arm, and said with a smile, "It's an old acquaintance, you can put down the coercion when you see it, okay?"
