Guangming Palace, Chengde Palace.

When Zhao Yan only saw the thick roll of silk, his face was as dark as Xie Qing's that day.And when he heard that the item was delivered to him, under Xie Qing's instruction, it was a full ten days later than the original time, and he opened the case on the spot.

"Nonsense! What does he want to do!" Zhao Yanzhi's roar echoed in the hall, and everyone closed their eyes and kept silent, desperately lowering their sense of existence.

Zhao Yan just paced back and forth in the hall, feeling restless.But at that time, he was the one who told Xin Wan to "obey Xie Qing's arrangements" so that there was no reason for him to vent his anger.After a long while, he kicked over a pile of bamboo slips piled up in the corner—it was a pile of memorials full of praise and nonsense that had been accumulated since no one knows when. After that, he threw it aside and ignored it—angrily shouted: "What kind of stuff is written here! Call back and rewrite everything!"

Just like Xie Qing, Zhao Yan immediately suspected Zhou Jichuan after seeing the news sent back by Xin Wan.The Zhou family's stupid and domineering has already disgusted him to the core, and doing such outrageous things for his own self-interest is different from doing stupid things pretending to be smart, and it is absolutely unforgivable.

But he couldn't do it yet.

His elder brother is still eyeing Guangling; his father and brothers do not have a fuel-efficient lamp.Even though most of the princes and kings who are pampered and pampered are mobs, they can't stand them being instigated and join forces to join his army.

He knows Xie Qing too well.That person has been dragging on for ten days, maybe Zhou Jichuan's thousands of fertile fields will have been flooded into a lake by the rolling Yellow River.

Zhou Jichuan's inability to put this matter on the surface to reason, doesn't mean he can't take revenge in private; Xie Qing picked Zhao Yan only cleanly, probably because he was determined to take responsibility.Thinking of this, Zhao Yan felt like a knife was twisting his heart.He kept cutting off dissidents and grasping power. At the very beginning, he just wanted to protect that person to be happy and safe; however, he spent his whole life and couldn't get what he wanted.

"Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan", Zhao Yan has only swallowed his anger for these years, how can Xie Qing be willing to tell him to give up halfway; and the plains have been flooded for years, and thousands of innocent people have shouldered things that they should not have to bear, how can Xie Qing turn a blind eye?

Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations.A man stands between the sky and the earth, and what he wants in his life is nothing more than this.

After thinking about it, you can be wronged and sacrificed, but you are not the only one?

What's done is done, and it's hard to get overwhelmed.Zhao Yan could only force himself to calm down quickly, at least he had to think of a way to balance both sides.

Xin Wan's dead men were all guarding Xie Qing's side, presumably even if King Guangling or Marquis of Chengyang wanted to do something to Xie Qing, they would be able to protect him comprehensively.No matter how good the land in Pingyuan was, it was just a icing on the cake for the Zhou family, and they would never be able to live without it; what Zhou Jichuan wanted to fight for was nothing more than one breath.Then give him a smooth ride.

Find a reason to reward some property, right to appease; these are not important.But Xie Qing worked hard in the plains for a month or two, and when he came back, don't talk about the rewards, maybe even the words of praise can only be talked about privately by the two of them.Zhao Yanzhi's fists were clenched white under his wide sleeves, he thought bitterly, whether you lost his or I lost his, sooner or later I will get it back for him.

Zhao Yan only ate half of his lunch, and suddenly felt a panic in his heart, spilling soup all over his body, and he was so angry that fortunately he uncovered the second case of the day.For the next day, he was fidgeting, until two days later he received the news that Xin Wan's dead man came back from the plain non-stop.

Xie Qing stepped on the stone by the embankment, stabilized his figure with difficulty, and held an umbrella for Yu Changqing.The people on the dike were all watching intently as Yu Changqing commanded the soldiers to move here and there, solving the problem bit by bit.No one noticed that the rock under Xie Qing's feet was loosening a little bit.

Yu Changqing squatted next to Xie Qing. Seeing that the problem was finally solved, he let out a sigh of relief and prepared to stand up.Just as he stood up, the rock under Xie Qing's feet completely loosened. Xie Qing was unstable and slow to react, so he quickly fell towards the embankment.

Not to mention the roaring Yellow River flooding under his feet, if he falls, there will be no bones left; let alone such a high embankment, if a person falls, his life will be in danger.

With quick hands and quick eyes, Yu Changqing flew to the edge of the embankment, grabbed Xie Qing's sleeve, and slowed down his falling speed; he stretched out his other hand to grab Xie Qing's arm, but found that he was also sliding down , had no choice but to take back the hand that was stretched out.

Yu Changqing's five fingers formed into claws, and they dug deep into the mud.But the soil was too soft, even if Yu Changqing stretched half of his arm in, it just kept the two of them sliding down at a slow speed.

Xie Qing finally dared to open his tightly closed eyes, and then he saw the roaring Yellow River under his feet, and he was so frightened that he closed his eyes again.

When he was hanging on the dam with no support for life and death, and might fall into the raging Yellow River at any moment, the last thought that flashed through his mind was: What would A Yuan do if he didn't go back?

It is the time of eclipse.

Xin Wan's dead soldiers finally came in handy: at the critical moment, four well-dressed and masked men who didn't know where they were hiding appeared out of thin air.They rushed down the dam one by one, and landed precisely under Xie Qing; without seeing how he moved, Xie Qing was "flyed" up, and landed accurately in the arms of another dead man.The remaining two people threw out a rope in each hand, wrapped around the waist of the falling man under the embankment, and pulled him ashore.

The four placed Xie Qing in a safe place, and then disappeared again.

Yu Changqing pulled his arm out of the mud and patted the dust on his body habitually. Then he found that his whole body was covered with muddy water, and his hands were even more horrible. No matter how he patted it, it seemed like he was smearing mud on his body, so he had to give up.He walked up to Xie Qing quickly, looked at his terrified face, and was about to speak comforting words, but was interrupted.

"grown ups……"

"Xie Changshi..."

Xie Chengjun and Du Yu rushed to Xie Qing almost at the same time, the two looked much more frightened than Xie Qing, as if they were the ones who survived the catastrophe just now.

After something like this happened, Xie Qing couldn't supervise the work here.Fortunately, the problem has been solved, and it can go on without them.Yu Changqing escorted Xie Qing back to the post house, and Governor Xie and County Magistrate Du also accompanied them back.

Xin Wan obviously got the news, she was already waiting at the door before Xie Qing arrived.At this moment, Xin Wan was very envious of Yijun who was far away in Chang'an. Although the emperor was not a good master to serve, compared to this ancestor who never lost his temper, but was better than tossing half of his life at every turn, But it's too strong.

Yu Changqing half dragged and half hugged Xie Qing out of the car. As soon as he let go, Mr. Xie's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.Yu Changqing quickly picked him up, and accidentally touched Xie Qing's exposed skin, the tentacles were scalding hot in stark contrast to the cold wet clothes.

Yu Changqing was startled, and didn't care too much, he picked up Xie Qing and rushed into the post house.

Xin Wan thought inappropriately, how annoyed she would be if she saw what happened just now?

Xin Wan was so suffocated that she couldn't vent her anger, so she had no choice but to dismiss Xie Chengjun and Du Yu who were standing outside the door unceremoniously, in order to comfort her heart that might never return to her chest.Xie and Du were treated rudely by a little girl. Although they were slightly dissatisfied, they returned angrily because they couldn't figure out her identity.

The illness Xie Qing suffered from on the way to Pingyuan has never healed.He hadn't had a good rest in the past few days in the plain. He had been drenched in the rain for half a day just now, and he was frightened a little bit.

Ji Chengchu is too lazy to talk nonsense, but in fact he has nothing to talk nonsense with an insane person.He asked Xin Wan to feed Xie Qing the bitter medicine and the spicy ginger soup, until seeing Xie Qing frowning uncomfortably when he was unconscious, he finally calmed down a little. resentment.Only then did Miracle Doctor Ji give Xie Qing pills to calm the nerves and let him fall asleep peacefully.

After Xie Qing fell asleep, Xin Wan took the time to ask Yu Changqing the ins and outs of the incident; her people were still some distance away from the scene, and even if they were well-trained, they were far less clear than Yu Changqing who was right next to Xie Qing.

Yu Changqing picked up the most important things that happened today and said to Xin Wan: "... Then, he slipped and fell. There is nothing to say about the future, I believe you know better than me clear."

Xin Wan frowned, and asked him uncertainly, "Is it an accident?"

Yu Changqing sneered mysteriously, and said: "It's hard to say now. I think that [-]% of everything today was planned in advance by someone; what happened on the embankment earlier is really not natural. But it’s meaningless to talk about it now. The stone that Huaifang stepped on has long since fallen into the Yellow River. The marks on the embankment were washed away by the heavy rain, and nothing will be left. And I suspect that those who were touched The embankment has already been repaired by me. So what I say now is just one-sided words, just listen to it."

Xin Wan shook her head, with a murderous look on her face: "The judge needs evidence, but my concubine doesn't want it; it's enough for my concubine to just listen to the son's side story. It's about Mr. Xie, I believe I won't mind the details today. "
