The emperor's daily online flirting

The leading yamen servant saw that the four people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, so he became vigilant and restrained his arrogance and fear just now, "Several, what's the matter?"

Hearing these words and this attitude, Si Ruihan knew that King Zhennan had entrusted him to do so long ago, which made them all vigilant, and they were very polite to outsiders.

"Forcibly arrested in broad daylight, I don't know what heinous crime this shopkeeper Zhao has committed to treat him like this." Xiao Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"As I said just now, disaster relief is a major event. What he committed was not only a capital crime, but also a felony crime of raiding the Mo family's family." The yamen servant said with a suppressed temper.

"But what he said is different from what you said. How can you be sure that what you say is true and what he says is false?" Si Ruihan asked.

"This..." The yamen servant narrowed his eyes, his tone slightly raised.

Si Ruihan's face turned cold, and his tone was serious, "You don't have enough evidence, that's why you became angry and ordered to be beaten. An official holds a sharp weapon, which is supposed to protect the weak, but now it's used to be fierce. It's lawful and humane."

"You..." The leading yamen servant was silenced by Si Ruihan's few words, and pointed at him angrily with his hands outstretched, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"□□, are you still planning to start a killing spree?" Xiao Jingyuan naturally saw the killing intent in the man's eyes, he gave Si Ruihan a hand, stared at him and said every word.

The faint coercion was mixed with killing intent, which made the yamen servant startled, and took a few steps back. Xiao Jingyuan looked at his embarrassed look, didn't say anything, and turned to look at the man who stood up beside him.

The man bent down and cupped his hands, "My servant, Zhao Zihe, thank you for your help, Young Master."

"I saved you just because I don't like their bullying, but I don't necessarily believe what you say." Xiao Jingyuan said.

Zhao Zihe pursed his lips, got up and stood upright, "Although our Zhao family is not as big as a big family, we still have our own backbone. My father taught me for many years, and I will definitely not do such inhumane and unrighteous things as defrauding the people."

Zhao Zihe clenched his fists and spoke firmly, his tone was straightforward and unwilling, Si Ruihan raised his eyebrows, this man has a straightforward personality, but he doesn't know if it's true or just pretending.

"Zihe, take your mother back." At this moment, Zhao Yuanyi, who was tied up, sighed and opened his mouth. Although his hair was disheveled and his appearance was a little ugly during the dragging, the light in his eyes was still clear.

Zhao Zihe raised his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Father... Dear..."

Zhao Yuanyi shook his head, and glanced at Xiao Jingyuan, "Thank you, young master, but this is Zhao's doom, and others should not be involved, young master, don't go into the muddy water."

Xiao Jingyuan was surprised for a moment, but he admired this middle-aged man a little more. He can still think about other people's safety at this time, but he is indeed an upright person.

The leading yamen servant snorted coldly, and raised the whip in his hand, "Take people away, if you dare to make trouble again, just go to the yamen with you."

Si Ruihan pulled Xiao Jingyuan out of the way, several people dragged Zhao Yuanyi away, the farce ended, the crowd dispersed, Zhao Zihe knelt down and helped his mother up.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard, "If you want to save your father, talk to us, how about it?"

Zhao Zihe turned his head to look at it, took a deep breath, it seemed that he was really struggling...

While he was thinking, Si Ruihan said, "You can't save your father by yourself, and you will even implicate your entire Zhao family. If the evidence is convincing, your entire Zhao family will be implicated in a short time."

Zhao Zihe gritted his teeth, "This is not a place to talk, you guys follow me to Zhao's house."

When the few people came to Zhao's house, they were slightly surprised. Since Zhao's house is a grain merchant in Qiyan Town, logically speaking, it should be a dignified family garden and groups of servant girls.

But in fact, the Zhao family is just a relatively large ordinary green brick and tile house, and there are only four or five attendants busy in the courtyard, and there are no famous utensils, calligraphy and paintings in the house, just some ordinary objects.

After settling down his mother, Zhao Zihe returned to the front hall from the backyard, "I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, how is your mother?" Si Ruihan asked.

"It's just a moment of urgency, and it will be fine after a few days of rest." Zhao Zihe said.

"Tell me about your father, is what the yamen servant said true or false?" Xiao Jingyuan asked.

Zhao Zihe took a deep breath, and tightly clenched his hands on his lap, "Our Zhao family has been selling grain in Qiyan Town for many years. In recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently, and there will be a grain disaster almost every year. Many small shops couldn't resist and closed their doors, and many foreign shops entrenched here, driving up food prices."

"The price of food in Qiyan Town has risen, and the people are already suffering, but now it's even worse. My father can't bear to do this, so he always keeps the price of food a little lower than that of other families. He would rather lose money than the people suffer." Zhao Zihe said calmly.

"But if that's the case, then what's being hollowed out is the foundation of the Zhao family. A family with a century-old foundation can't last long, let alone you, a small grain merchant who made a fortune by selling grain." Zhou Cixin said with narrowed eyes. .

His words pointed out the crux of the problem, and Zhao Zihe pursed his lips. Xiao Jingyuan stared at him for a while, "The yamen servant once said that your father had something to do with the Hanoi grain transport officer, is it true or not?"

Zhao Zihe took a deep breath, and shook his head dejectedly, "It's true, and that's why our Zhao family can't raise the price of grain."

"My father met Liang Qishan, the grain transport official in Hanoi in the early years. Mr. Liang also couldn't see the suffering of the people. The two discussed in private, embezzled part of the disaster relief funds allocated by the court, and used the money to buy them in places farther away. Relatively cheap The grain is sold to the common people, and the remaining money is used to buy grain, and this cycle repeats." Zhao Zihe closed his eyes after finishing speaking.

"In that case, it's really greedy for the imperial court's money." Si Ruihan said flatly.

Zhao Zihe sat on the chair with some dejection, "This matter has always been well hidden, no one has ever known about it, and now it is suddenly revealed, if Uncle Liang hadn't entrusted someone to send a letter, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see my father."

It was already evening when they left Zhao's house, the four of them found an inn to stay in, and Xiao Jingyuan shared a room with Si Ruihan.

"What do you think of today's events?" Xiao Jingyuan asked while making the bed.

Si Ruihan stood behind him with folded arms and watched, "Although it is a felony to be greedy for disaster relief funds, if they really did good deeds to benefit the world and the people, they would not be guilty of death."

"Indeed, even though he was corrupt and perverted the law, he did a righteous thing. He did it out of emotion and reason, so he won't be punished with death." Xiao Jingyuan said calmly.

"Today, the yamen guard's attitude towards us is obviously much more respectful. Presumably, he got the news and was on guard against people they don't know well in advance." Xiao Jingyuan continued.

"We got rid of the secret guards of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion on the way, and then we can speed up. The soldiers are divided into two groups. The Zhennan King can't know our specific whereabouts, so we have to notify us in advance, hoping to clear things up before we come. It's finalized." Si Ruihan said with narrowed eyes.

"What Zhao Yuanyi and Liang Qishan did did not happen once or twice. After so many years, all the places in the south are under the control of the Zhennan Palace, but he has kept it secret. Presumably, he has been waiting for the day when the court will investigate and deal with it. So that they can be used as shields." Si Ruihan said.

"King Zhennan must have been playing this game of chess for a long time. It's just that my trip to the south made him think ahead of time, but...his news was received so quickly, I'm afraid the palace is not without help." Xiao Jingyuan said Made the bed, sighed.

He turned around and looked at Si Ruihan, "No matter what they are planning, we both need to take a good rest. Working around all day is not good for your health."

Si Ruihan lowered his eyes, and Xiao Jingyuan took a few steps forward, "Don't think about today's matter, Zhennan King's matter, it's not too late to get up tomorrow and make plans."

Maybe it was really tired, Si Ruihan slept extraordinarily deeply that night, Xiao Jingyuan looked at the other person's sleeping face with his head supported on one hand, and recalled all kinds of things in his previous life.

Xiao Jingyuan raised his hand and groped Si Ruihan's loose hair, "I will definitely protect you this time, trust me."

Si Ruihan who was asleep naturally didn't know what Xiao Jingyuan was thinking. After a good night's sleep, when he opened his eyes in the morning, Si Ruihan saw Xiao Jingyuan's smiling eyes, looking straight at him in a daze.

He blinked, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, his slightly ignorant eyes became clear because he had just woken up, he silently looked away, got up and sat up, with his back to Xiao Jingyuan.

Xiao Jingyuan looked at Si Ruihan's back, stretched out a finger out of nowhere, and stroked it gently along his back. From bottom to top, he could clearly feel the tension on Si Ruihan's back, and he smiled slightly. .

Si Ruihan, who had his back to him, quietly held his hands, pursed his lips, Xiao Jingyuan's hand climbed onto his shoulder, and leaned against his shoulder with his strength, "Ruihan."

Si Ruihan's pupils shrank, and Xiao Jingyuan's regular breathing sounded in his ears. He moved slightly, but Xiao Jingyuan refused to leave, and put one hand around Si Ruihan's slender waist.

"Let me lie down for a while, can't you?" Xiao Jingyuan's soft tone made Si Ruihan's heart beat faster. He took a deep breath, but he didn't continue to move.

After a long pause, Xiao Jingyuan sighed contentedly, "You have a faint scent of ink on your body, which smells good."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jingyuan raised his head, and Si Ruihan raised his hands to gather his clothes, tilted his head slightly, and turned his eyebrows slightly, "I remember the previous life, but you said that you hated me the most when I pretended to be a noble family. The thick ink aura emanating from my body is the most..."

Before Si Ruihan could finish his words, he was blocked by the slight touch of the corner of his lips. Xiao Jingyuan tilted his head and planted a soft and tender kiss on his lips.

As soon as they were touched, Xiao Jingyuan stared at Si Ruihan's pink lips, suddenly grabbed his hand, and slapped himself in the face. Si Ruihan froze for a moment, and was about to open his mouth, but heard, "I What bastards did you say, tell me."
