The Regent's Little Wolf Concubine

Chapter 36 Comfort him

One day later, Chu Nanxiao and the others finally arrived in Yuzhou, and the officers and soldiers who escorted the grain directly sent the grain truck to the Yamen of Yuzhou Prefecture. After completing the handover with the prefect of Yuzhou, they settled down at the post station in the city.

Although there is a famine here, the main city is still relatively prosperous, and the streets are also very lively with people coming and going. After entering the city, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, Chu Nanxiao deliberately put on a black cloak and covered the white wolf in her arms. stand up.

In this way, the local people will not be frightened because of her.

In fact, Wen Qian is still very wronged about this matter. It's not good for her to transmigrate into something, but it happened to be a wolf. Now she has to hide and hide, and can't even see people!
"Seed cakes~selling sesame cakes~"

"Selling flowers, this girl, let's buy a flower."

The street was full of people shouting and hawkers yelling everywhere, Chu Nanxiao led the horse through the street, and soon saw the sign of the post house, so he tied the horse to a nearby tree and took Wen Qian walked into the post house.

"Stop! This is not an inn, please show your token!"

As soon as Chu Nanxiao walked in, he was stopped by the gatekeeper, and immediately asked him to show his token.

Just at this time, a man in casual clothes came out, saw the movement here and came over and asked, "What happened?"

This person is the grain transport officer escorting the grain truck, Ye Huai!Seeing him coming over to ask, Chu Nanxiao's eyes changed slightly.

At this point, the officer who stopped him immediately explained to Ye Huai respectfully: "Master Ye, this person broke in suddenly, because I have never seen him before, so I am currently investigating."

Looking at the man in the cloak in front of him, Ye Huai always felt a little familiar. Hearing the official's answer, he was about to take a closer look at who it was, but the other party turned around on his own initiative.

After "Xiao" saw the other person's appearance clearly, Ye Huai was shocked immediately, and was about to salute him, but he was interrupted by his words first.

"My lord, I have bought the things you asked my subordinates to buy earlier, but I forgot to bring the token with me when I went." Chu Nanxiao pretended to be his subordinates at this time, and said to him with her head slightly lowered.

Seeing this, the officer couldn't help looking at Ye Huai who was beside him, and asked him, "Master Ye, is this one of yours too?"

Hearing this, Ye Huai came back to his senses, first glanced at Chu Nanxiao, and then almost bowed his head to the official: "Ah, yes!"

After that, he turned to look at Chu Nanxiao who was wearing a cloak, and continued: "You said you too, and you don't know how to wear a token! Don't do it again next time!"

Although he pretended to criticize him a few words, Ye Huai couldn't help but wiped the sweat from the bottom of his heart, and then secretly checked his words and expressions, and was slightly relieved to see that Prince Xiao looked normal.

"It turned out to be Master Ye's person, but I thought it was some kind of thief who wanted to sneak in and steal things! If that's the case, please go in." After getting Ye Huai's answer, the officer immediately let him go.

Afterwards, Chu Nanxiao followed Ye Huai and came to the post house smoothly. When he got to a place where no one was around, the person who led the way finally stopped, turned around and knelt on the ground.

"Your subordinates offended you just now, please forgive me, Lord Xiao!"

Chu Nanxiao glanced at him lightly, and didn't blame him: "You did a good job just now, I didn't want to disturb anyone when I came here this time, if you were respectful to me just now, it would definitely attract their attention. Suspect."

After finishing speaking, he looked at him again and said, "Get up."

At this point, the person kneeling on the ground first breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up from the ground, led Chu Nanxiao inside and asked, "Why did Prince Xiao come to Yuzhou in such a deceptive way?"

Hearing his question, Chu Nanxiao didn't answer his question, but asked instead: "You have already sent the disaster food to the government office of Yuzhou, so did the magistrate of Yuzhou say when will the food be sent to the disaster-stricken area?"

While he was asking, Wen Qian, who had been hiding in the cloak and didn't come out, felt that she was going to get bored staying here!
Originally wanted to expose her head to get some air, but when she heard that Chu Nanxiao was asking questions outside, she endured it temporarily, and quickly erected her ears again to listen carefully to the conversation between the two outside.

"Go back to the prince, the magistrate said that the food will be delivered tomorrow." Ye Huai replied truthfully.

"Tomorrow?" Chu Nanxiao suddenly stopped walking when she heard his reply and frowned slightly, then turned around to look at him, and said, "It's still early today, why wait until tomorrow?"

It was only in the morning at this time, since the letter said how severe the disaster in Putian County was, the grain trucks should be sent to the disaster area in the afternoon at the latest, why wait until tomorrow?

It seems that the magistrate of Yuzhou has selfish intentions, and the food delivery last time may have something to do with him.

"This subordinate doesn't understand very well either." Ye Huai lowered his head, unable to answer the question asked by the prince for a while.

When the magistrate of Yuzhou told him to deliver the food tomorrow, he didn't think there was any problem, but now that Lord Xiao asked such a question, he also felt a little strange.

At this time, Chu Nanxiao's eyes had sunk a bit, and after a moment of silence, she looked at him again and asked, "After you delivered the grain truck to the government office, did you leave anyone to guard it?"

When he asked this question, Ye Huai was startled again, hesitated for a while before answering: "At that time... at that time, my subordinates mentioned that two subordinates should be left to guard the grain truck."

"But Mr. Jiang said that he has already arranged everything, and he will order people to guard the grain cart every step of the way, so he asked me to come to the post first."

When he finished speaking, Lord Xiao looked at him with very dark eyes, which gave him a bad premonition, and then he was about to say something, but Lord Xiao said it directly in front of him.

"He said that, and you did it?"

Chu Nanxiao's tone of speech was still very calm, but Ye Huai felt a chill, and was wrapping him up little by little, and finally lowered his head bravely, but did not speak but acquiesced to what Prince Xiao asked.

At this point, a gleam of disappointment flashed in Chu Nanxiao's eyes, just for a moment, and then disappeared in an instant.

"You were ordered to escort the disaster food, but you are so careless! The words of the magistrate of Yuzhou, you put the food truck in the government office with confidence."

There was disappointment in his words, and Ye Huai's eyes darkened a little bit, until Prince Xiao said: "Ye Huai, you have been working in the barracks for so long, and you can still make such low-level mistakes. !"

As soon as the prince said this, Ye Huai immediately realized what mistake he had made, he knelt down immediately after a pause: "It's the negligence of the subordinate, please punish the prince."

"Hmph!" Chu Nanxiao's expression never softened, she looked at the person in front of her and gave a cold snort, she didn't say anything more to him, and walked straight ahead of him.

At this time, Wen Qian, who was hiding in his arms, finally couldn't hold back anymore, and quickly revealed her head from the cloak, and then took a deep breath of fresh air.

Huhu, it took so long just now to suffocate her to death!Hey, although the inside is also breathable, it will still be unbearable if it is stuffy for a long time!

Seeing the little thing in her arms sticking out her head, Chu Nanxiao remembered how long she had been stuffed in the cloak, and couldn't help touching her head with a bit of apology.

"I'm really sorry, I was only focused on talking just now, but I ignored you. I must have bored you out of boredom for so long, right?" As he spoke, he took off the cloak on his body.

Wen Qian looked up at him. Although he didn't say anything, she still felt his disappointment when he said those words to Ye Huai just now.

That Ye Huai seemed to respect Chu Nanxiao very much, and presumably he should be one of his subordinates, but now his people are so careless, yes, wrong, if he, the master, said he was not disappointed at all, it must be a lie!
Thinking this way in her heart, she finally rubbed her head against the palm of his hand lightly, as a comfort to him.

At the same time, Ye Huai was still kneeling behind, thinking about what the prince said just now, and finally figured it out, but when he recovered, he saw that the prince had gone far away.

So, he quickly stood up from the ground again and followed quickly.

Yuzhou government office
"Hahaha"

Jiang Nianfu, the magistrate of Yuzhou, looked rosy today, and seemed to be in a very good mood, and his laughter could be heard from a distance.

The magistrate's wife who was staying in the room heard the laughter, and immediately knew that her master was back, so she hurriedly greeted him, and seeing that the master was in a good mood, she went up and asked, "Master, what makes you so happy?" ?”

At this point, Jiang Nianfu glanced at his wife, and smiled as he walked: "Madam doesn't know, the disaster food sent by the capital has arrived at the government office today."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Jiang immediately understood why he was so happy, and couldn't help laughing: "Then I really want to congratulate the master, and I will reap another windfall."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Nianfu pretended to stare at her, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his face, and then said: "This disaster food will be sent to Putian County later, isn't it arousing suspicion by you? !"

"Yes, yes, it's my concubine who is talking too much." Mrs. Jiang quickly lowered her head and said no, but at this moment, a servant from the mansion hurried in.

"Sign up to my lord, Mr. Ye's mansion asks to see you."

The Master Ye mentioned by the servants is the main official who escorted the grain and grass this time, Ye Huai!
However, hasn't he just been placed in the station to rest?Why do you suddenly want to see me again now?Is there anything else that cannot be explained?

Jiang Nianfu felt that there was something wrong with this matter, so he immediately said to the servant: "Understood, I will go over immediately, please ask Mr. Ye to wait in the government office for a while."

"Yes."

The servants retreated in response, and then Jiang Nianfu tidied up a little and left the Jiang's mansion, heading straight for the mansion.
