Married to the sick queen after rebirth

Chapter 58 Arriving in Jiangnan, Corrupt Officials

Shen Yi really followed Qin Su's way, seeing Qin Su's appearance, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Is Zixun tired? I'll massage Zixun's head. Sometimes I have a headache after reading for a long time. Just pressing like this can relieve one or two."

With that said, Shen Yi was about to stand up, but Qin Su stretched out his hand to grab him.

"Anping is not going to be busy, just sit down and have a rest, just talk to me, you don't have to be tired."

Seeing that Shen Yi was busy preparing for his own meal, Qin Su was not willing to ask Shen Yi to massage his head again. With Shen Yi's body, she would feel uncomfortable even if she was even a little tired.

Shen Yi had no choice but to sit down and eat a little bit with Qin Su.

"Anping," Qin Su said after thinking about it, "Tomorrow I will leave Beijing and go to the south of the Yangtze River. It will take about a month."

"I heard from my father that Zixun must be careful all the way and take care."

Shen Yi knew about this, but when he remembered that he hadn't seen Qin Su for more than a month, he felt a little depressed, but he could only smile and told Qin Su to do something.

"I will. I will write to you when I arrive in Jiangnan."

Qin Su responded, and didn't tell Shen Yi what was unnecessary. He said that it was just to make Shen Yi worry about himself, "If there is a chance next time, I will definitely go to see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan with Anping."

Qin Su's words made Shen Yi feel better, "Actually, although I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, I haven't really visited the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, I just heard people talk about it."

"Wouldn't that be better? There are fresh scenes everywhere, so it would be more interesting, wouldn't it?"

Qin Su knew that it was because of Shen Yi's body, so he gently held Shen Yi's hand to comfort him, "I have some good news, do you want Anping to hear it?"

"What good news?"

This time Shen Yi didn't withdraw his hand, but his face was slightly red, and he lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Qin Su.

"The good news is that Huaxi once told me that Anping's fate can only be solved through marriage, but Anping doesn't need to marry those idiots again. It's also feasible for you and me to get married. Tell me, Anping, is this a good idea? Good news?"

Qin Su was serious and outspoken, and said the matter all at once, which made Shen Yi blush, quickly withdrew his hand, and turned his back.

"I already know about this matter," Shen Yi said in a very low voice, pulling his head down and pulling the handkerchief in his hand, "It's too early to say about the marriage."

After all, Shen Yi has a delicate mind and a thin skin, unlike Qin Su who is careless when it comes to marriage. After all, since ancient times, this matter has always been the order of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker have never been talked about by himself.

Seeing Shen Yi's shy look, Qin Su also remembered something about getting married, and lowered his head to drink porridge to hide his red ears.

"An... Anping," Qin Su looked at Shen Yi again after taking a sip of porridge, "I'm going to Jiangnan, and there will be no one to take care of me in Beijing, so you need to be careful yourself. A mad dog may not be able to secretly make some harmful moves, you need to be vigilant."

Having already suffered from Jin Lie's loss last time, Qin Su specifically told him, "Besides, the imperial examination in Beijing is approaching, and there are mixed fish and dragons. It is inevitable that it may not be peaceful. I will tell Jin Shaoyun in advance. If you have something to do, you can go to him. He Recently, it is more convenient to be responsible for the security of the capital. If anything happens, I will take care of it. In addition, you can also go to the second emperor brother Qin Miao. What's the matter, you can go to Jing'an Palace to find the imperial concubine and concubine of Jin Dynasty, and I will explain everything clearly."

Inside and outside, Qin Su explained everything to Shen Yi clearly, what happened last time can be regarded as scaring half of Qin Su's life, and he dare not make any mistakes.

Shen Yi's heart felt warm when he heard it, and he nodded in response.

"Also," Qin Su hadn't finished explaining, "I sent some people by your side last time, but I'm afraid it wasn't enough, so I brought over Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan is a female official, and she will follow you. It is also more convenient to be around, and if you go to the palace, Cheng Yan will understand better."

Qin Su planned to arrange Cheng Yan by Shen Yi's side before, but he didn't need it for a while, so he let Cheng Yan do other things first, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Knowing that Qin Su was worried about his own safety, Shen Yi couldn't help but agree, "Is there someone to take care of you?"

"Naturally, there are also Luyan and Ziyun. Come with me to the south of the Yangtze River. Don't worry about Anping."

Qin Su had already made arrangements and set off at dawn.

As the two of them talked like this, Qin Su was also full and drank some tea. Qin Su glanced at the late morning sky and said, "Anping, you should rest earlier, I should go back to the palace."

"So fast?"

Holding the teacup, Shen Yi blurted out, feeling uncomfortable, "It's getting late..."

Knowing that Shen Yi was also reluctant to part with himself, Qin Su, who was sitting on the chair, stood up, walked to Shen Yi who was sitting on the couch, and took out something from the purse that Shen Yi gave her.

"Anping, what do you think this is?"

Shen Yi looked up, and saw a small silver bell in Qin Su's hand.

"What is this?"

Qin Su shook the bell lightly, the sound was clear and sweet.

Asked by Shen Yi, Qin Su pursed his lips in embarrassment, "Seeing the exquisiteness of this bell, I thought of sending it to Anping, and I heard the custom of a place, saying that the person I miss is away from home, and the family members If you think about it, shake the bell, and when the bell rings, you can think about it, and when the person who misses you hears the bell, you will know what you miss at home, so you can come back earlier."

"When Anping misses me, you can also ring the bell. I will definitely come back soon to see Anping."

It was the first time for Qin Su to say such words with someone, and his voice could not help but softened, lingering in Shen Yi's ears, lingering, making Shen Yi's ears red.

Shen Yi reached out to take the bell, held it in his palm and looked at it carefully for a while, closed his hands, held the bell in his palm, raised his head to look at Qin Su in front of him, and nodded slightly, "Zixun keeps his word, but it will be sooner." Some come back."

"If you promise Anping, I will definitely keep it."

With Qin Su's words, Shen Yi felt his heart was full, and the parting now was nothing.

Comfort Shen Yi, it is time for Qin Su to return to the palace, the time is indeed too late, so Qin Su did not let Shen Yi see him off, and took people away by himself.

Sending Qin Su away, Shen Yi stood in front of the door, watching Qin Su's back, until he could no longer see him, then shook the bell in his hand lightly, as if he wanted to ring the bell when he disappeared for a while.

Qin Su, who came to the corridor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stopped and turned around. I don't know if it was her illusion. She seemed to hear a bell just now.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Cheng Yan looked around vigilantly, thinking that there was some danger.

"It's nothing." After listening carefully, it seemed that there was nothing left. Qin Su only thought he heard it wrong, "Cheng Yan, from today onwards, you will stay in the prime minister's mansion and protect Miss Shen personally. No matter what happens, everything will Miss Shen's safety is the most important thing, you are allowed to kill first and play later, all consequences will be borne by me when I come back from Jiangnan."

Continuing to walk out, Qin Su told Cheng Yan beside him while walking.

Cheng Yan is only responsible for following Qin Su's orders. Now that Qin Su has said so, she will definitely go all out to complete Qin Su's orders.

Walking all the way to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Su explained some trivial things to Cheng Yan, and finally felt relieved, "If something beyond your ability happens, go to the Second Prince."

"Yes, my subordinates, please take care, Your Highness."

Cheng Yan was still reticent as always, and sent Qin Su to the carriage.

Glancing at the people he had left in the prime minister's mansion on the carriage, Qin Su didn't say anything more, and the guard of honor set off back to the palace.

Even at this point, after Qin Su returned to the palace, he still couldn't go to bed comfortably. He went back to Zhengyang Palace, changed his clothes, and rested for a while. Qin Su supported his dizzy forehead after a whole day, Then went to Qin Miao's Xuanyin Palace.

Qin Miao had already fallen asleep, and Qin Su was not the kind of reckless person who didn't care about other people's feelings. He didn't ask the palace servants to wake Qin Miao up. Instead, he went into Qin Miao's bedroom and woke up Qin Miao himself.

Qin Su could clearly see that the moment Qin Miao opened her eyes, she seemed to see a familiar murderous aura coming towards her, which even made her feel dangerous instinctively.

"Qin Su, you'd better have something serious, or else one of us will die in Xuanyin Palace today."

Qin Miao has always been very angry when he gets up, and the whole palace knows that those who dare to try their own methods are basically three feet high on the grave.

Qin Su also heard a little bit about it, but it is better to see it than to hear it a hundred times. Looking at it now, the rumors are true.

"I really have something to do. Listen to me before you go to sleep." Qin Su sat on the chair next to him and watched Qin Miao slowly put on his clothes and lean on the head of the bed with his eyes closed. He was listening to himself. Continue to say, "Tomorrow morning, I will set off for Jiangnan, but the affairs in Beijing are also complicated, but I have explained clearly, but you need to worry more about the follow-up. I come tonight to explain to you clear."

"That's it?" Qin Miao obviously didn't think it was a big deal, and his tone was gloomy.

"Ah... To be precise, there are two things in total. One is the imperial examination. Something happened to a candidate, which is inextricably related to Wei Huiyuan. My people are investigating now, and I believe it will be resolved soon." When the result comes out, I will have someone come and explain the cause and effect to you directly."

Regarding Wei Zikang's matter, Qin Su always felt uneasy if he didn't explain to Qin Miao, as if there was someone else pushing behind this matter, but Qin Su didn't have time to investigate by himself now.

Qin Miao hummed inexplicably, but did not open his eyes.

"There is one more thing," Qin Su twitched a little, and said that the business is important, "that is... the matter of Anping. I am leaving Beijing this time, but Beijing is in troubled times, and many people are now staring at Anping. I am really worried, not to mention there are two palace banquets, etc., I want to ask you and the imperial concubine Jin to take care of Anping a little bit, is it possible?"

Qin Miao opened his eyes, and turned to Qin Su, "Are you worried? Why, should I call Miss Shen brother-in-law or younger brother?"

Qin Miao's acumen is also amazing, Qin Su smiled a little embarrassedly, straightened his sideburns, "It's fine, you can call me sister...sister, or sister-in-law, anyway, second brother, you can help, okay?"

"It's really a thousand-year-old iron tree blooming. I thought you were destined to be lonely, but I didn't expect that among the ten brothers and sisters, you were the first to solve the life-long event, and you are a lover like Miss Shen. You are really a lucky star. Call you Second Brother, I have to take care of Miss Shen, my own family, so don't worry."

Qin Miao scolded Qin Su with a smile, but he readily accepted the matter.

With Qin Miao's words, Qin Su was relieved, "Good second brother, by the way, help my sister think about how my life with Anping should be justified in the future, my sister will definitely thank you."

"You leaving my bedroom now is the best thanks to me."

Looking at Qin Su who was pushing his nose up, Qin Miao closed his eyes again, lay back under the blanket, and pretended to be dead to see off the guest.

Although Qin Miao was a playboy, Qin Su glared at Qin Miao for a while, and finally chose to give up. After all, during this period of time, Jingzhong and Shen Yi had to rely on Qin Miao to take care of him, so he couldn't afford to offend him.

After coming out of Xuanyin Palace, Qin Su finally let go of the big stone in his heart. Now that everything is safe, she only needs to prepare to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

A night without words.

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Qin Su got up, had breakfast, and went to join Li Yan with Luyan Ziyun and others from Zhengyang Palace.

Everything has been prepared. Apart from the officers and soldiers who were originally escorted and the guards and shadow guards around him, Qin Su also brought some extra people to make sure everything was safe.

"Master Li."

Dressed in red casual clothes, Qin Su greeted Li Yan and others who had been waiting here.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Everything is ready and you can set off immediately."

Li Yan has always been serious and old-fashioned, and when he saw Qin Su, he also had a sullen face, and he opened his mouth after bowing his hands and saluting.

"Then let's go."

Qin Su didn't take it to heart, and she was not a person who likes to dawdle, so she set off immediately.

The disaster relief team left the capital in a mighty way, followed the official road, and headed for the south of the Yangtze River, gradually disappearing in the dark distance.

Qin Su only walked forward and didn't look back, so he didn't see the two figures above and below the city wall.

Emperor Yong Le quietly drove out from the palace early in the morning, just to send Qin Su off. In the past, when Qin Su went to war, he would definitely come to see him off, but this time it was different. In order to set off as soon as possible, he did not arrange to see him off. , Emperor Yong Le could only secretly take a look by himself.

But by coincidence, in this pitch-black darkness, there are still people who have the same behavior as him.

"Is that the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Emperor Yong Le looked at Shen Yi who was standing under the city wall before Qin Su left.

"Your Majesty has good eyesight, that is Miss Shen."

Eunuch Li glanced back.

"She is a loving and righteous woman, no wonder she is on good terms with Xun'er."

Emperor Yong Le nodded, in this cold weather, he got up so early, and came here from Changning Street, just to silently send Qin Su a ride, but very few people can do it.

"Your Majesty is right. His Highness the Eldest Princess can't be mistaken. But do you want Miss Shen to come up and speak?"

It could be seen that Emperor Yong Le admired Shen Yi quite a bit, and Eunuch Li proposed beside him.

"No need, don't scare the little girl, go back to the palace, I have to go to court."

Emperor Yong Le didn't intend to disturb, what's more, it's almost time to go to court, he has to rush back to the palace as soon as possible.

This journey will take at least four or five days. Even if Qin Su wrote a letter, he would have to wait until Jiangnan. After returning home, Shen Yi felt empty in his heart, so he simply picked up his pen and wrote something casually.

Time flies, three days have passed, Qin Su and others have already stood at the border of Jiangnan.

Although most areas in the south of the Yangtze River were not affected, Qin Su did not feel that this was the most affluent place in the world when he walked all the way. There were people coming and going on the street, and it looked prosperous and busy, but the faces of the people were full of people. All are ashes.

Qin Su was wearing plain clothes and only brought a few people into the city. Li Yan took care of the relief funds and passed through the official road outside the city.

Walking on the street in Jiangnan, Qin Su bought some gadgets and chatted with the stall owner.

"Boss, your business is doing well."

Qin Su looked at the stall owner, who was similar to the rest of the people around him. Although the business was not bad, he still looked worried.

"Hey, to tell you the truth, Miss, it doesn't matter whether the business is good or not, anyway, I can't even fill my stomach in the end."

The stall owner looked disheveled, sighed and shook his head, completely lacking energy.

"How is this possible? The south of the Yangtze River is a rich place, how can you not even fill your stomach? The boss is joking."

With a smile on his face, Qin Su's eyes were cold.

"At first glance, the lady should not be a local, right? Jiangnan is rich, and those who are rich are not ordinary people. There are many taxes. It is said that His Royal Highness the eldest princess is going to go to war again. In order to show patriotism, every family collects extra military pay and taxes. Really squeezed out the flesh and blood of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, smashed the bones, and did not spare the bone marrow, just two years, the two years of savings, ah..."

While talking, the stall owner couldn't help but get red eyes, his tone was helpless, and he couldn't continue.

Qin Su suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to maintain a normal expression, "His Royal Highness the military pay for this expedition is all paid by His Highness privately. Why have you ever collected taxes from the common people? Boss, I'm afraid you are talking nonsense?"

"What?" The stall owner's eyes widened in shock, "This...in the past few years, the tax has been increased every year on the grounds of levying military pay. This is known to the people in the south of the Yangtze River. How...how could this be so? This Miss, don't talk nonsense."

"Every year? Every year, Her Royal Highness the Princess will collect taxes?"

Qin Su almost failed to maintain his apparent calm.

"Yes, Miss, you..."

Qin Su's tone startled the stall owner.

"nothing."

After taking the things, Qin Su paid the money and went to a few more shops. He basically said the same thing as the stall owner. It is not difficult to see that the people in the south of the Yangtze River have begun to have some complaints about His Royal Highness the Princess. The news of triumph can no longer make up for the pain caused by the increasingly heavy taxation, and now this pain is about to break through the final bottom line.

Enduring his anger, Qin Su stormed out of the city and caught up with Li Yan.

"Your Highness?"

Seeing Qin Su's expression, Li Yan was also taken aback. It means that something happened to go for a stroll in the city?

"Master Li, do you know that Jiangnan County has collected taxes in the name of my palace in the past few years?"

Qin Su and Li Yan drove side by side and asked about the affairs in the city.

"This..." Li Yan's expression was uncertain, and he frowned and glanced at Qin Su, "Isn't this what His Highness the Eldest Princess meant?"

"..." The swear words that were pressed down made Qin Su even more angry, "I have never heard of it at all! Every year, the army's food and grass are all allocated by the treasury, and the treasury has never increased any taxes because of it." , let alone targeting only one place in the south of the Yangtze River."

"This!"

Li Yan's slate-like face finally showed some shock, "How could this be?"

"You ask me, but I still want to ask you. It seems that the Jiangnan government's skin has been put on them for too long."

His own name was inexplicably used to collect taxes. Qin Su couldn't even imagine how much money Jiangnan had pocketed in his own name and how much blood and sweat of the people in Jiangnan had been squeezed out in the past few years.

Li Yan's gaze towards Qin Su changed a little, and he made up his mind after a while, got off his horse and knelt in front of Qin Su's horse, "On behalf of the people in Jiangnan, please Your Highness, give justice to the people in Jiangnan and give them a way to survive!"

Qin Su reined in his horse, dismounted himself and helped Li Yan up, "Your Excellency, you thought it was my palace who raided the people in the south of the Yangtze River and used the hands of the Jiangnan government to collect taxes and pocket their own money?"

"The minister has no eyes."

Li Yan thought so before, but because Qin Su was so active in helping the people in the south of the Yangtze River, he endured it all the time. After all, with Qin Su's status in front of Emperor Yongle, even if Qin Su was really pocketing his own money, he would definitely not He didn't want to be punished, but everyone thought so, which made the Jiangnan government take advantage of a big loophole.

"It's not your lord's fault. It's the daring of the Jiangnan government. The lesson learned from the past is still bloody on the ground of the Jiangnan government. They dare to do this. Don't worry about life and death. My lord, I will definitely give back to the people of Jiangnan on this day. justice."

Qin Su didn't blame Li Yan for having opinions about him before, and he could tell by looking at the attitudes of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Highness is righteous!"

Li Yan wanted to worship again, but was supported by Qin Su.

"Lord Li, don't delay. It's important to go to rescue the disaster first. When the spring flood is over, it will be time for liquidation. Please, Lord Li, help us!"

"Unshirkable!"

The two hit it off immediately, and Qin Su and Li Yan reached an agreement.

It was a coincidence that the two went back on the road, and after a while, they saw the Jiangnan County Sheriff and others waiting.

The governor of the Jiangnan county got the news early that it was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who delivered the disaster relief funds this time. Naturally, no one dared to slack off when the eldest princess came. Qin Su picked up the wind and washed away the dust.

Putting down their angry faces, Qin Su and Li Yan went to meet the Jiangnan governor.

"I've seen Your Highness the Eldest Princess! Your Highness is blessed and safe, and the governor of the south of the Yangtze River is here to welcome you!"

The governor of Jiangnan is a middle-aged man who is fat, white, and looks very kind. When he smiles, his teeth can't be seen, and he looks naive, but he looks like a honest and honest person.

"polite."

Qin Su was not a good person to get along with, and now he didn't even bother to look at the Jiangnan Sheriff, but no one thought it was wrong.

According to Qin Su's request, the governor of Jiangnan County arranged Qin Su and others in the post station of the Jinghe County Government Office. The worst spring flood this time was in the Jinghe River Basin, which also allowed Qin Su and others to investigate nearby. Flood situation.

This Jiangnan county guard is really a thoughtful person. They can't figure out Qin Su's temperament. In addition, there is Li Yan next to him, who once shocked all the officials. For the sake of safety, they arranged a residence It is extremely clear and simple.

As soon as he entered the door, Qin Su frowned, and stopped with disgust on his face, "Lord Sheriff, there is nothing good about this land in the south of the Yangtze River? Why is this inn so dilapidated? It's like that dilapidated temple, full of bad luck taste."

The governor of Jiangnan was refreshed when he heard this, it seemed that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was indeed as rumored, pampered and pampered, held in the hands of Emperor Yongle, provided with the best food and clothing, never seen suffering in the world.

What kind of God of War is nothing more than a teenage girl who is self-willed and domineering. It seems that it is not difficult to fool her, but this Li Yan is more troublesome.

Thinking about it this way, the fear of hearing Qin Su's arrival before was much better, and the Jiangnan County Guard immediately put on a smile, "His Royal Highness calm down, Your Highness calm down, it's not that the officials want to neglect His Highness, it's just that Jiangnan is now There is a catastrophe, there is no money in the treasury, and it is difficult to donate money, rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely find a way to find a good place for His Highness again."

Frowning and looking at the Jiangnan Sheriff, Qin Su turned and walked out impatiently, "Let's go to the Jing River now, settle this matter earlier, and return to Beijing earlier, I won't be able to stay here for a while. !"

Qin Su walked out, and everyone quickly followed. Jiangnan County Guard cast a sideways glance at Li Yan beside him, and saw that Li Yan's face was as black as iron, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of His Royal Highness, and he was secretly pleased.
