Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

The days fly by.In the No. 13 days after Ding Xiangui's death, Yan Ci gradually sorted out Ding Xiangui's past evil deeds.After another two days at his desk, he sorted out all major cases and prepared to take them back to the capital.

On this day, Yan Ci and Du Zijin came down from the long embankment that was being built by the Yuxi River together. Yan Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "His Royal Highness made a move, it really is a clever plan. Before March, the embankment will be destroyed." It can be fixed."

Du Zijin walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, glanced at Yan Ci slightly sideways, and said with a smile, "It's the most normal thing for people to love their homes. The so-called no strong men can come out, one is that Ding Xiangui deliberately suppressed it, and the other is that The people are burdened with taxes, and with all their time and energy, they are naturally more willing to reclaim their two acres of wasteland in the city. If the long embankment outside the city is not repaired, and the abandoned fields are left unused, it is better to distribute it as a reward to the people who are willing to repair the embankment.

All the population of Yunzhou.As long as you are willing to build dikes, a certain amount of land will be distributed according to the level of labor. After this part of the land is reclaimed, only [-]% of the grain tax will be paid, and the rest will be exempted.

You only need to wait for the long embankment to be completed, and if no problems are found in the acceptance inspection, the common people can sign to distribute the land.

First, the land outside the city will not be abandoned, and second, the long embankment will be repaired.The land inside and outside the city will no longer suffer from waterlogging.

In less than a year, the people of Yunzhou can at least have a full meal.It's just that before that, they still have some suffering to suffer. "

Yan Ci and Yan Ci wore official boots of the same color, and they were both covered with a little wet mud at the moment, walking on the embankment with green grass, like children walking in the rain on a rainy day.Yan Ci smiled and said, "His Royal Highness has already done immeasurable merit. How can we strive for perfection in everything."

Du Zijin looked back at Yan Ci with a smile, only to feel that the man stood between the sky and the earth, his forehead and hair were wet with sweat, and he was still as beautiful as a painting.Du Zijin asked with his hands behind his back, "When will Lord Yan return to Beijing?"

Yan Ci thought for a while, and said, "Since the construction of the long embankment has started, and the matter of Ding Xiangui has been investigated, I think I will return to Beijing in the future."

Du Zijin was silent for a moment, and said, "Then what is Master Yan's plan for tomorrow?"

Yan Ci smiled shyly, and said, "When Xiaguan first entered Yunzhou, he met a woman from a brothel, but Hui Zhilanxin had a bad fate. A few days ago, because he wanted to check the atrocities committed by the nobles in the past, so I'm afraid she will be involved. Now that the crisis has been resolved, I want to rescue her."

Du Zijin asked suspiciously, "A brothel girl?"

Yan Ci nodded...

Du Zijin thought for a while, Yuan Jie did say that Yan Ci was once pulled into the Qianfang Pavilion by an old bustard, but unexpectedly, he actually had friendship with the girl inside.

But he continued, "Miss from the brothel, it may not be easy to get rid of your humble status. You have just entered the court and become an official, how much money do you have? Later, I will ask Ah Jiu to take my token, and you go directly to ask for it." People can."

Yan Ci smiled at Du Zijin, and said, "Your Highness has a heart. But Miss Yunni has already planned, she has already raised enough money to redeem herself, but Ding Xiangui suppressed her in the past, so she can't redeem herself .I just need to make it clear with the bustard when I go like this.”

Du Zijin was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Miss from the brothel, it's really not easy to have this talent, but she is a girl with high aspirations."

Yan Ci nodded slightly and smiled, "When will Your Highness return to Beijing?"

Du Zijin said, "The Seventh Emperor's younger brother and I are involved in the matter of the Baiyue Sect. I will go back as soon as the new Zhizhou sent by the imperial court to take over the affairs of Yunzhou arrives in the past two days."

Du Zijin paused as he spoke, and said, "Maybe we can go with Master Yan."

The two were standing under the green shade of a big willow tree at the moment, with cicadas singing in their ears, Yan Ci smiled and said, "If Your Highness is willing, of course Yan can."

Since the afternoon when the two of them talked thoroughly in the posthouse that day, Yan Ci was no longer so cold to Du Zijin.

Du Zijin was happy in his heart, but he was more cautious in his actions and words than in the past, fearing that something bad would make Yan Ci unhappy.

Early the next morning, Yan Ci went to Qianfang Pavilion.Although the old bustard didn't want to, but seeing that Yunni ordered enough money, Yan Ci came here with the government's release document.I had no choice but to nod with hatred.

That Yun Ni really had a somewhat arrogant temperament, she took off her hairpin and colorful clothes early, and only dressed as an ordinary peasant woman. She was wearing a Polygonum blue floral embroidered skirt, and her hair was like an ordinary woman. Use a square scarf of the same color as the clothes on your body to tie your hair in a bun.

Without powder, it looks more delicate and pleasant.That Yunni dressed up like a different person, this brothel Chu Pavilion is open for business, there are people who like all kinds of things, so beautiful, it can attract a lot of business.

The old bustard was very angry, but he had no choice but to watch the two leave with resentment.

Yan Ci brought Yun Ni to an inconspicuous small inn on the corner of the street, and asked Xiao Er to make two bowls of Yangchun noodles, and the aroma of chopped green onions rushed over their faces. Both of them had been busy all morning without a drop of water.

That Yunni was originally a prostitute, and her personality was quite informal.At this moment, he didn't care too much, just sat in the lobby of the inn with Yan Ci, and slowly began to eat noodles.

When both of them were full, Yunni said, "Your Excellency said, you are a Beijing official, when will your Excellency leave?"

Yan Ci took a sip of the noodle soup, put down the bowl, and said, "If nothing else, we should leave tomorrow. I don't know Miss Chen Si, but have you thought about where to go?"

That Yunni paused for a moment, Yanci called her Shen Si, how long had she heard of this name, and then said, "No." Yunni said, with a heartbroken expression, said, "The world is so big, there will always be a place for me, Shensi."

After that Yunni said this, she looked like she was about to cry. Seeing this, Yan Ci couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said, "If Miss Shen really has nowhere to hide, why don't you come to Beijing with me. Beijing is prosperous and prosperous, In some embroidery houses, there are skillful female workers, maybe you can give it a try."

At this moment, there are people coming and going in the inn, and seeing a handsome man and a beautiful woman talking softly, they can't help but sigh that they are a match made in heaven, such a good couple.

Yun Ni got up, knelt down respectfully in front of Yan Ci, and said, "My lord is so kind and virtuous, Shen Si never forgets. Please don't dislike her, and bring Shen Si back to Beijing."

Yan Ci hastily helped him up, and said, "Miss, please get up quickly. Girl, please get up quickly. If the girl has nothing else to pack, why don't you just rest in this inn for one night and leave tomorrow, and I will definitely come to pick up the girl Peer."

That Yunni blessed the body again and again, and said, "I would like to follow your lord's teachings, and Shen Si will definitely wait here." Yan Ci was very happy to see the prostitute behaved well, and after a few more instructions, he said goodbye and left.

As soon as Yan Ci passed the corner, Ah Jiu turned around and came out from the opposite alley.Yunni took two steps to go upstairs when a dagger blocked her eyes.

The bright light of the blade suddenly reflected in the eyes of Meishui Ling.Those eyes were unmoved at all, Yunni seemed to be smiling, and then showed her charming look in Qianfang Pavilion, and said softly, "My lord, what are you doing in broad daylight. But It frightened my family. It's really annoying." The ending sound was dragged by her, like a sweet love sentence.

Ah Jiu sneered, "The Seventh Prince has various means. Please also invite Miss Zhan Xing to accompany me."

The woman was taken aback for a moment, turned her head slightly to look at Ah Jiu, then smiled slightly, and said, "I am the one rescued by Master Yan."

The sun had already begun to shine in, and Ah Jiu glanced at Guanghua on the ground, and said with a smile, "What should we do? We are the ones who want to save Lord Yan."

Du Zijin sat in the private room of the inn's Tianzihao, looked at Yunni who was kneeling beside him, and said softly, "I heard that the seventh brother raised a group of girls. I didn't expect it to be so useful. 14 years old , understand the rhythm and poetry well. Use the dagger well. Am I right, Miss Xingzhan.”

The woman knelt on the ground and said, "His Royal Highness, Xingzhan has received great kindness from the Seventh Prince. Since His Highness saw through it today, Xingzhan has nothing to say."

That Yun Ni moved suddenly and wanted to bite his tongue to kill himself, but suddenly found that his tongue was too stiff to speak.Can't help looking at Du Zijin in shock.

Du Zijin parted his mouth slightly, and said with a smile, "It's Ice Soul Gu."

The woman on the ground suddenly widened her eyes, but her eyes were filled with shock, and she couldn't even open her eyes again.

Du Zijin continued, "It's not an ordinary Ice Soul Gu. It doesn't hurt, but I think you will be more obedient. You won't die either. Just bear with it a little bit, and you can walk back and forth after a while."

Sure enough, after less than a quarter of an hour, the woman was able to move her body slightly. Ice Soul Gu is the most domineering Gu poison among the Gu poisons. .The mind will be controlled bit by bit.

Ah Jiu has a strong sense of loyalty to Du Zijin, so the girl kneeling on the ground at this moment is constantly changing the way she looks at Du Zijin.

It was her instinctive consciousness fighting against Gu poison.Du Zijin seemed very relieved, just took a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

About an hour passed.The woman looked at Du Zijin with another expression.Said, "Your Highness, please give me instructions."

Du Zijin lightly threw the teacup on the table, then smiled with satisfaction.Said, "No need to do anything. Just stay by Yan Ci's side for me."

The woman kowtowed at Du Zijin's feet, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The villain will go back to the inn. Tomorrow, I will rush back to the capital with Master Yan."

Du Zijin nodded slightly, and then said, "Go ahead. If there is something to do, I will ask Ah Jiu to find you again."

The woman kowtowed again, and then said, "Yes, Your Highness."

After speaking, he got up and left.Ah Jiu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, why don't you go back to Beijing with Master Yan tomorrow?"

Du Zijin smiled and said, "If I die on the road tomorrow, then..."

Ah Jiu was taken aback.Said, "Your Highness is afraid that the Seventh Prince will set up an ambush?"

Du Zijin nodded slightly, and said, "If I were him, I would not let this opportunity go. I believe he will do the same."
