Chapter 53 Don't You Know Her?

When Huo Rong arrived at Nankangwei, it happened that Cheng Xiao also arrived at the capital.

The escort imperial envoy sent by the imperial court was the commander-in-chief of Jin Linwei, the emperor's pro-military general, and the journey was very smooth.

Then the Ministry of Officials sent imperial envoys and successor officials to Taihu Lake to check on the magistrate He. He was dismissed and brought into the capital for interrogation.

Naturally, there are also some officials of the yamen, including Fang Tong's wife.

The recent wind in the palace was so tight that it was unnecessary to breathe, but the Gu family remained unmoved, showing a somewhat calm aura.

Feng Shaokang received the news from his younger brother that three days before Cheng Xiao entered Beijing, he was drinking tea in the back garden where the peonies were just blooming.

After seeing the letter, he couldn't help but glanced at the opposite side.

Sitting across from him was Ling Yuan. Holding the cup in his hand, he was clearly looking at Peony outside the fence, but it seemed that he also had eyes on the side to see him, and said slowly: "What did you say in the old five letter?"

Feng Shaokang smiled calmly, folded the letter and put it in his arms: "It is still cold in the northwest, let me bring him some thick clothes."

……

Ten days later, the reply letter that the prison was in charge was sent to Changying.

Changying received the letter and continued to eat.

Among the five brothers of the Feng family, the fifth Feng Shaoqing is the most violent, and the second Feng Shaokang is the calmest, but they all share the same sense of loyalty.

Although the letter was addressed to Shaoqing, it also mentioned a few political affairs in passing, which was naturally meant for Changying.

Ling Song had already entered the Ministry of Officials to watch the government, while Ling Shu had entered the camp. Apart from Cheng Xiao's case, which had been discussed fiercely, the Department of Water Transportation had also been nominated several times recently.

"Master Su next door came back from a party and was drunk again. Mrs. Su is arguing with him."

Yingbi reported the news in a low voice.

Recently, I don't know if it's because Su Xinrong has fulfilled her wish to work under Xu Lan's errand, and the next door has been quiet.

Of course, in fact, it was only Su Peirong who made a lot of noise. Although Su Xinrong was full of crooked thoughts, she didn't easily get angry.

Only Su Peirong, the mouse, can't hold three ounces of oil in its stomach, so it can't do tricks on the table at every turn.

"Who are you drinking with?" Changying sometimes needs to pay attention to the information around him.

"Isn't there a new magistrate, Mr. Qi? The guard is inviting Mr. Qi to dinner." Yingbi usually had a sweet mouth, and she often heard such news from neighbors.

Changying knew this "Master Qi".

In the previous life, even though Cheng Xiao's death had not been exposed to the world, He could not sit on the prefect of Huzhou for long.

The official who took over was Qi Ming, who was recommended by the prefect of Changsha as a Jinshi in the third year of Qinglong. In her previous life, Changying had already served as a policeman in Huzhou Prefecture at this moment, and she had worked under Qi Ming for nearly four years, so she naturally knew it.

This Su Huan actually has friendship with Qi Ming who just arrived?
"Have you finished eating yet?"

Shaoqing came in through the door, and they had to go to the pier in the next afternoon.

Changying immediately stopped Su Huan's thoughts, finished the soup in twos and twos, and then went out.

The Department of Supervision and Construction specially set up a courtyard with two entrances as the government office.

There are four ships to be built in the same batch this time, and there are ready-made shipyards and craftsmen at the docks. The planned start date is the third day of April, and the timber that has arrived is being sorted out in full swing these days.

Since governments at all levels are also responsible for coordinating water transportation, Xing Mu is in charge of affairs with the government, Lu Xin is in charge of the general ledger, Changying is in charge of materials, and Su Xinrong is in charge of transportation.The rest of the affairs are apportioned.

"The nanmu delivered by the Ministry of Industry has arrived at the warehouse. Today, there are fir and pine logs. There are nine ships in total. You, Changying, are in charge of counting the timber. You will go to the pier in the afternoon to take charge of the count.

"In addition, there are also ships transporting materials such as tung oil and lime. I am here. I happen to be going to the pier in the afternoon to select artisans."

After Xu Lan finished speaking, Changying had already found the list of timber in the pile of files.

Su Xinrong glanced at them and said, "Why don't I go and have a look too, I haven't been to the shipyard yet."

She is in charge of escorting materials, and only needs to follow from the warehouse to the shipyard. In fact, she has nothing to do with the dock.

Changying knew it well, so she didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so she picked up the file and went out first.

The wharf is more than ten miles away from the government office, and the shipyard is on the east side of the wharf.

"I'll just take a look, you guys are busy with your work."

As soon as he dismounted, he heard someone speaking slowly in front of him. There were seven or eight people standing on the wooden trestle bridge. The man in armor and holding a long sword was very familiar, and he was clearly Huo Rong.

The sound of footsteps obviously alarmed them, and the close follower named Tong Qi next to him looked over first, and glanced at her twice with a meaningful look.

"General Huo is here too." She greeted with a smile.

Huo Rong's eyes flicked across her face, his attention returned to their topic, and he motioned for the people around him to follow down the plank road.

Changying's eyeballs followed them all the way down the stone steps to the river, and then raised their eyebrows and retracted.

Huo Rong's arrival these days has successfully turned the topic from her, who has made great achievements again, to him, the newcomer. The guards are now talking about him, including the couple who made friends with Su Xinrong. There are two female generals inside.

In addition to his identity, there are more discussions about his facial features and figure. Although Changying's mind is full of meritorious service and promotion, he can't help but admit that Huo Rong, who has left his identity as a guard, is wearing armor. The appearance is indeed quite eye-catching.

In particular, his concentration and seriousness in official affairs can make people a little awed if he is not paying attention.

However, Changying privately thought that he had worked with him to some extent. Even if he couldn't disclose that the two had met in public, it would always make sense to say hello and say hello when they met in private—after all, judging from his past It doesn't look that unapproachable either.

But he looks like this...

In fact, it's not accidental, because even when we discussed things together sometimes, when he looked at her, the corners of his brows and eyes were always a little indifferent, as if he didn't know her.

She thought it was her illusion before, but now it seems that he is indeed a little different from Changxing.

Is it because he is a married man that it is inconvenient to have a relationship with her?

Or was it because he asked her fingerprints for an answer last time, but finally found out that she wasn't Shen Linlang at all?

Hey, a man's heart is really a needle in the sea.

She shrugged and turned around, only to find that she was blocked again.

Su Xinrong folded her arms and sneered sideways, she didn't know how long she had been looking here.

"Does it feel good to put a hot face on someone's cold butt?"

Changying narrowed her eyes, but she put down her hands, turned around with a friendly and gentle face, and said to Xu Lan who had brought several officers and soldiers over, "General Xu, I saw General Huo here just now."

Xu Lan nodded, and said to Changying: "It's still early, and General Huo is here to inspect the materials. He has a good understanding of water transportation affairs, so let's go and have a look together first."
