Chapter 139 Arrangements for Jiaorui
Yan Hong asked curiously:
"The general was in the army for more than ten years as a man, but no one saw through it. How did you know she was a woman?"

Jiaorui pursed her lips, showing a slightly mocking smile:

"Actually, it's nothing. The women in our brothel have undergone special training, and I'm more sensitive than ordinary people in this area, so I can distinguish between men and women. As for other people, I'm afraid they can't."

It was so!
Now, it's hard for Yan Hong to ask any more questions.

However, Jiaorui is also very curious about Yan Hong, seeing that General Qu seems to be treating her well, does General Qu not mind at all?
"Are you really King Chu's concubine?"

Yan Hong asked back: "Do you think I look like me?"

Jiaorui smiled awkwardly.

Looking at Jiaorui's adorable appearance, Yan Hong said:

"I am not the concubine of the King of Chu.

I was originally from Mantuo Mountain Villa. Our owner and the general are like sisters. She saw that there was no one serving the general, so she asked me to follow the general. "

Jiaorui didn't know what Mantuo Villa was like, so she didn't answer the question.

Seeing that Jiaorui didn't answer, Yanhong misunderstood.

"I will never serve the King of Chu, and the general will not let me serve him. I suggest you don't think about staying with the King of Chu, the King of Chu will not agree."

Jiaorui knew that Yanhong had misunderstood her, so she quickly expressed her loyalty:

"I've never thought about it like this.

How noble is the status of the King of Chu, how can a lowly person like me be able to climb high.I just want to change my identity and live well. "

Seeing what Jiaorui said, Yan Hong stopped talking.

……

After dealing with the previous matter with Ning Youbei, Qu Chu met Jiaorui.

"This time the matter can be successfully completed. You have made a lot of contributions. I can do everything I promised you. Tell me what you think."

Jiaorui didn't say her request first, but said: "I heard Yan Hong said that you are General Qu?"

Qu Chu nodded, "Yes."

"Can I see your real face?"

"Okay, you wait."

Now that you already know your identity, there is nothing wrong with it.

Qu Chu asked Yan Hong to bring the potion and remove the mask.

Jiaorui stared carefully for a while, remembering Qu Chu's appearance in her heart.

Although General Qu sought her for a purpose, but General Qu did not look down on her, nor did he just use her. General Qu gave her the power to choose.

It was she herself who wanted to start a new life.

"General, I still have the same idea as before, just change my identity for me."

"Do you still have relatives?"

Jiaorui shook her head.

"I have no relatives for a long time. Chunxiao does have an older brother, but she is willing to follow me all the time."

That's it!
Qu Chu asked again: "Then is there any place you want to go?"

Jiaorui still shook her head.

"Besides Jianghuai, I haven't been to other places, so I haven't decided where I want to live in the future. However, I definitely can't stay in the Jianghuai area."

Qu Chu thought for a while, even if they changed their identities, it would be rare for these two weak girls to survive in this world.

"If you believe me, why don't you follow me to Yudu first? Stay in my Grand General's Mansion first, and talk about it later when you have a place you want to go."

At this moment, Jiaorui is grateful.

Qu Chu was not the first person to express kindness to her, but he was the one who moved her the most.

However, Jiaorui rejected Qu Chu's kindness.

"General, I know you have good intentions, but if we go to the General's Mansion, it will not be so easy to change our identities in the future."

Only then did Qu Chu realize that he had not handled it properly.

If Jiaorui showed her face in the General's Mansion, she would naturally fall into the eyes of interested people, and it would not be so easy for Jiaorui to get out of the way.

She apologized to Jiaorui: "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully."

Yan Hong looked at Qu Chu in a dilemma, and interjected, "General, I have an idea."

"You said."

"The folk customs in Yudu, Haiqing, and Ganzhou are simple and simple, and they are far away from Huaicheng, and the rules are not as good as in the Jianghuai area. Girls can go out at will, but Miss Jiaorui might as well live there.

And there, it was easy for the general to take care of Miss Jiaorui if he wanted someone to take care of him. "

Yan Hong didn't speak very clearly, but Qu Chu understood.

In Yudu, Haiqing, and Ganzhou, the tribes close to the west, the relationship between men and women is much more casual than that in Yudu, Jianghuai and other places, and they don't pay much attention to women's chastity.

After Jiaorui went there, it was easy to find someone to marry.

Furthermore, it was far away from Jianghuai, so it was even more difficult for Jiaorui to be recognized.

Yanhong's idea is good, but the environment in these places is far less good than Jianghuai, and it is not as prosperous as Jianghuai. I don't know if Jiaorui can get used to it?

Qu Chu looked at Jiaorui, waiting for her to make up her mind.

Jiaorui also understood Yan Hong's words, and she had actually thought about this issue in her heart.

Jiaorui thought for a while:
"General, otherwise, let's go with your convoy first. If we encounter places we like on the way, we will stop. If not, we will go to Yudu, Haiqing, and Ganzhou to take a look."

Seeing that Jiaorui had figured it out, Qu Chu stopped persuading her.

……

The lord of Yuezhou City came back, but he failed to capture Governor Jianghuai.

"My lord, when the officials left, the governor of Jianghuai had already fled, leaving only his wife and children. The officials brought back his wives, concubines and children."

Ning Youbei secretly thought:
Previously, the city lords of Huai City said that they followed the orders of the governor of Jianghuai, and the clue provided by Jiaorui was that the governor of Jianghuai asked Fang Haichang for money on behalf of a certain prince. It seems that the governor of Jianghuai is an important person.

It's just that he escaped, and I don't know whether to be sheltered by his master or kill to silence him.

……

Ning Youbei decided to escort the offender back to Yudu for the emperor to interrogate in person. As for their relatives, they will be detained in Huai City first, and they will be dealt with after the final verdict comes out.

He said to Lin Jianshen:

"Lord Lin, there are many vacant officials in Jianghuai and Jianghuai this time. You have been the city lord of Yuezhou City for many years, and you are familiar with the people of Jianghuai. Why don't you temporarily take the post of governor of Jianghuai? The emperor will say more.

As for the officials below, you recommend candidates from several important departments, and they can be appointed now. "

Ning Youbei handed over several blank appointment letters from the Ministry of Officials to Lin Jianshen.

Lin Jianshen hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, my lord!"

According to the rules of the Dayu Dynasty:

Officials of the fourth rank and below can be directly appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Officials, but officials of the third rank and above must be appointed by the emperor himself.

Although in the past, the Ministry of Officials recommended candidates to the emperor, who then appointed them, but the procedure always had to go through.

Therefore, the governor of Jianghuai, the city lord of Jianghuai, the city lord of Huaicheng, and the salt transport envoys of Jianghuai must be appointed by the emperor himself. The blank appointment letters from the Ministry of Officials in Ning Youbei's hands can only appoint and remove other officials of the fourth rank or below.

Lin Jianshen naturally knew this truth, but with the recommendation of the king of Chu, the position of governor of Jianghuai must be inseparable.
