The sick and charming prince is also acting affectionately today

Su Ziyu, the son of Xiguanhou's military division, was 20 years old, not much older than Qin Yu, and five years ago he was injured by a stray arrow in his lungs. Although he survived, he was left with a cough, which was especially uncomfortable in winter.

Su Ziyu coughed badly, blood rushing to her face, her pale face turned rosy, making her look like a living person.

He was very good-looking, even if he was already skinny, he still had a good-looking appearance, with regular facial features and delicate eyebrows and eyes.

His body is fragile and his complexion is pale, but he still has a clean and bookish look.

Vulnerable, yet unyielding.

It's not that Wang Jingzhi is like a mortal, but a real breeze in the world, unhurried, kind and resourceful, and has his own strength of character.

It was also because of his existence that Qin Wei didn't hate literati so much.

It is not the scholars who are wrong, but those who read books but are greedy and blind.

Qin Hua is not a gentle person, but she is familiar with Su Ziyu, and knows that he is not under force, and the slaps are measured, with internal force in her palms, and by the way, she can sort out his meridians and relieve his pain.

Su Ziyu immediately felt better, and smiled slightly: "You have been away to Shendu for three years, and I thought I would never see you again before I died. Fortunately..."

Qin Hua interrupted him: "Don't keep talking about these unlucky things. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune. This is just an injury, not a terminal illness. Just don't worry about yourself."

Qin Hua and Su Ziyu were also close friends, but they didn't care too much about what they said.

Su Ziyu wasn't sick, it was a hidden disease left by the wound. She didn't take care of it in the first place, and she loved to worry about it, so she made herself weak.

"Ahem." Su Ziyu smiled lightly, like a lake in winter, illuminated by the sun, with a gentle breeze: "Why don't you say that the disaster will last for a thousand years?"

Qin Hua sneered: "Who can you harm?"

It's not that she looks down on him, but that disasters require skill. To grow up like a prince, to be like a prince, is the real disaster.

In comparison, Su Ziyu is as clean and fragile as Bai Fuqu in the lake.

Su Ziyu was not annoyed by Qin Hua's blatant contempt, just looked at her with a smile, and poured tea for her with his own hands.

"It's been three years since I went to Shendu, but I still get used to it?"

Habit?Thinking of her past three years, Qin Hua pursed her lips, feeling too sad and helpless, and could only sigh: "It's okay not to mention it."

Su Ziyu's eyes were dark. He had actually asked her for the past three years. It wasn't particularly bad, but it couldn't be called good either.

The eagle soaring in the sky is trapped in a cage, and there is no need to fight and hunt desperately, but the feeling must be suffering, and life is better than death.

"Come back this time... how long will you stay?" Are you going to leave?I can't ask what I really want to ask, because knowing is impossible.

"I don't know, it depends on the situation, but I should be able to stay for a while."

Although he hasn't seen his family yet, seeing his friends still puts Qin Wei in a good mood, and he's reminiscing about the old days, but he's not in a hurry to get down to business.

After drinking two cups of tea, Su Ziyu mentioned the purpose of this time: "Then Chen Xu is a bit capable, and he has found some clues. When the young master knew that you were coming, he specially sent me to have a round with you. This time The Marquis of Xiguan cannot be involved."

Chen Xu is the name of the Nanzhou County King, and Xiao Hou Ye is Yan Lei, the grandson of Xiguan Hou Yan's family.

Yan Lei and Qin Hua have killed the enemy together, they can be regarded as life-and-death friends, and that's why they dare to do things with Qin Hua.

Qin Hua nodded: "I understand, let him kill the person who should be killed, now is not the time to be soft-hearted, I will take over the rest."

Su Ziyu handed over a piece of paper full of words: "This is all the previous arrangements."

After Qin Hao read it carefully and threw the paper into the brazier, he continued: "It has not been a year or two since Li Lin and Chen Xu have colluded to collect money, and the amount of money embezzled is huge, but there is no way to know where so much money went. Can't find it."

Li Lin was the governor of Nanzhou who had been dead for a long time before being discovered.

"Over the Ministry of Household Affairs, Nanzhou reported disasters, and less than [-]% of the tax revenue was sent. Instead, the imperial court ordered the allocation of funds for various reasons every year. Behind the Duke of Zhou County, there should be a bigger backer in collusion."

"The money is the blood and sweat of the people and the life money of the soldiers. It can't just be left alone, but it can't be known by the court. Otherwise, it's just jumping from one pocket to another. It's a waste of work." gone."

Qin Hua nodded: "That's the reason."

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about corruption in the DPRK and China. They can't make such a big fuss, and the money ends up in other people's pockets.

Don't talk about others, just say that if Emperor Xuan knew that there was such a large sum of money, he would have to pull it into his arms with jealousy.

But the money was bought by the common people and soldiers with their lives, even Emperor Xuan didn't deserve it.

"Look, there are traces of geese and ants, so much money can't just disappear out of thin air."

No matter who eats it, she has to spit it out.

"Cough cough cough..."

Su Ziyu coughed again, it didn't seem like the kind of heart-piercing cough that would cough out her lungs, but it was also heart-wrenching.

Qin Hao frowned: "The weather is very cold now, so you don't go out and walk around less. Since Chen Xu has doubts, you don't want to stay here in Nanzhou."

Su Ziyu wiped away the tears overflowing from the violent cough with a handkerchief, and waved his hands: "Don't worry, I won't die, besides, I have nowhere to go right now."

"You should have also received the news that this year's cotton clothes are of poor quality, weapons are not forged enough, and medicinal materials are not supplied. The Chirong, Hu, and Owl clans have already fought four or five games. This year's soldier casualties are the same as in previous years. times."

"The hateful thing is that they didn't die because they were inferior to others or not brave enough. Most of them were defeated because of poor quality weapons, and because the cotton clothes were not good enough, they froze to death. "

"Although Nanzhou is dangerous, it is better than watching them die in pain and wailing."

Qin Hua couldn't empathize with the grief and anger in Su Ziyu's eyes.

In the past years, because the old Hou Ye was in Shendu, the Yan family's military pay and food were not greatly deducted, but now they are so greedy that even the Yan family will not let it go.

"Find those silver coins as soon as possible, and end this situation this morning."

That's why Qin Hua didn't sympathize with those common people.

The people would starve to death if they had nothing to eat, but the soldiers would starve to death if they had nothing to eat, and the mountains and rivers would fall. At that time, the people would face the enemy's butcher knife, and they would not even have a chance to cry.

Obviously, wars in the Northwest became more and more frequent, and the number of casualties increased tens of thousands of times every year, but the eyes of the people in the imperial court seemed to be covered with feces.

She doesn't know if it's for the country, but enriching one's own pockets has fattened many corrupt officials.

Every time at this time, Qin Hua had to thank Mr. Jin. If he hadn't met Jin Yan by accident, the Qin family's situation would be even worse than that of the Yan family.

Qin Hua finished her tea and got up: "It's getting late, I have to go back, you should be careful, it's inconvenient for me, don't contact me, if there is anything, I will send you a letter."

"Okay." Su Ziyu looked at her, and the suppressed emotion in his eyes slowly overflowed: "Qin Xiao, congratulations on your return."

Qin Hua looked at him, smiled, and left gracefully.

Looking at her disappearing back, Su Ziyu slowly stained his face with a smile: "That's great..."

There is finally a tinge of warmth in this icy northwestern desert.
