Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 186

Shuanglin entered the palace anxiously, but finally came out again in a daze.

The sky was gray and began to rain lightly. Shuanglin didn't take a carriage, just walked on the street, and the attendants not far away followed behind with anxious faces.

The rain was not heavy, but it was still very conspicuous when it fell on the official uniform.

But Shuanglin didn't care about these things. His mind was full of what Emperor Jing said: the common people don't care!

Those are all human lives!In the eyes of Emperor Jing, he was worthless.

Unspeakable disappointment and sadness filled his whole heart.

"Master Shuang!" A shout interrupted his thoughts.

Shuanglin looked up, only to find a carriage parked beside it, and a young man in Tsing Yi was beside him.

"you are?"

The servant quickly saluted and said, "Master Shuang, my lord sees you walking alone, and would like to treat you to a glass of wine."

Shuanglin wondered, "Who is your lord?"

"Your Excellency will know when you go!"

Shuanglin hesitated for a while and followed him.

As soon as the door of the private room of the restaurant was pushed open, Shuanglin saw Yu Shi Wang Zizhen sitting inside with a strange man.

As soon as Wang Zizhen saw the person coming, he said with a smile: "I accidentally saw the two adults alone in the rain, so I asked the attendants to invite the adults to have a glass of water and wine. It's a bit abrupt, my lord."

Shuanglin smiled, he had been in the officialdom for a long time, so he had heard Wang Zizhen's name before.He who treats everyone coldly invites himself, of course he wants to give this face.

He raised his hand in return and said: "Master Zhang is too worried, it is my honor to have a drink with Master Zhang. Please!"

"Please!"

After several people were seated, Shuang Lin glanced at the strange man and asked, "I don't know who this is?"

Wang Zizhen smiled and said: "This is a descendant of my elder brother, surnamed Su."

This man is Su Xiangqing!

Su Xiangqing smiled and said first: "Master Shuang, you are polite!"

Several people exchanged some pleasantries.

After Shuanglin sat down, he drank several glasses of wine before putting down his glass and stopping.

Su Xiangqing and Zhang Zizhen looked at each other in dismay, with deep meaning on their faces.

It was just a coincidence that they invited Shuanglin today. They didn't know about the refugees, so they didn't know what happened to Shuanglin.

Seeing that Shuanglin raised his wine glass again, Zhang Zizhen hurriedly reached out to stop it, and said, "What's the matter, Master Shuang? But why worry about it? You might as well speak up. If there is anything that can be used, you can speak up." .”

Shuanglin thanked him gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness! I'm just worried about the issue of food and grass."

"forage?"

Su Xiangqing on the side smiled and said: "If it's just a matter of grain and grass, I can introduce some big grain merchants to you."

"Oh! Really!" Shuang Lin's eyes lit up, sweeping away the previous worries.

"I do know a few big grain merchants, but I don't know how much grain the two adults plan to ask for?" Su Xiangqing said with a smile.

"Of course, the more the better!" Shuanglin almost blurted out.

A flash of light flashed in Su Xiangqing's eyes, as if he had discovered something. After thinking for a while, he said: "This is a big deal, and I have to discuss it in person. Just one thing to remind my lord, the current situation is getting higher and higher every day. Food is probably not cheap!"

Shuanglin, who was originally ecstatic, gradually dimmed.

Food was originally a tight commodity.I'm afraid it's even more expensive now, and the emperor has such an attitude towards refugees, so why would he spend so much money to relieve refugees!

Shuanglin sat down heavily, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Su Xiangqing hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't mean to take advantage of the fire. I just draw a thread from it, and there is absolutely no other meaning."

Shuanglin raised his head and looked at Su Xiangqing, waved his hands and said, "I know Mr. Su's intentions are good, please don't think too much about it."

Su Xiangqing frowned and said, "Then what is this, my lord?"

Shuanglin sighed and looked at the two in front of him, hesitated for a while before saying: "The two of you are not outsiders, so let's just talk about it. Now the people outside the city are gathering more and more, but the food is getting less and less." .”

"To tell you the truth, I just came out of the palace. Alas! I wanted to ask the emperor for mercy and try to save those victims. Unexpectedly, alas! The emperor refused."

"Why is this? There are so many people displaced at the foot of the imperial city, how can the emperor ignore it!" Zhang Zizhen was furious.

"Master Zhang, be careful!" Su Xiangqing said without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Zhang Zizhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I believe Master Shuang won't harm me!"

Shuanglin was also shocked by Zhang Zizhen's words, and at the same time he also felt that he was not alone in his own way, and the resentment in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Master Zhang, don't worry! What happened today will never fall into the ears of the fourth person!" Shuang Lin said hurriedly.

Several people smiled at the same time, knowing clearly.

I only heard Shuang Lin say again: "To tell the truth, Mr. Zhang, I am very angry. The emperor said today that the common people don't need to care! This is what a monarch should say!"

"Oh!"

Wang Zizhen slammed his fist on the table and made a loud noise.

"The people can carry a boat or overturn it. The mere people? How can a monarch be without the people! How can he be a king if he doesn't care about the life and death of the people."

But Su Xiangqing said leisurely from the side: "It's not the first day that our emperor is ungrateful and ungrateful. You don't have to be so angry, Mr. Wang."

"Oh! I don't know, it's just that Dajing is in danger now, and my Dajing emperor is so miserable, I'm really worried!" Zhang Zizhen sighed.

"Why not! The future of my Dajing is worrying. Dajing needs a wise king at this time!" Shuanglin also sighed.

A thoughtful light flashed in Zhang Zizhen's eyes.Immediately he said: "Master Shuang, I don't know if you are free tomorrow. I want to visit Old Prince Xuan, can I go together?"

"Xuan, old prince Xuan?" Shuanglin's voice trembled with excitement.

Su Xiangqing looked at the two excitedly and twitched her lips.

When he recalled this scene in the future, he regretted it endlessly. In vain, he let Xiao Muyun have an extra right-hand man to help him deal with those trivial matters, so that he had time to run with him.This is all for later.

Shuanglin readily agreed, sweeping away the previous cloud.

Until a few people dispersed in Shuanglin, they didn't tell the story of the refugees from all over the country coming to the capital.

This is undoubtedly worse for the current situation, and he cannot afford this responsibility.

Although he told Emperor Jing, it was a pity that he didn't take it to heart.

……

In a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, Xue Qing glared at the person in front of him, his face was covered with clouds, and his whole body exuded a cold air.

"Why can't you find anyone?"

The man in black knelt on the ground, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Return to master, according to the investigation of the subordinates, Yuan Yunxi, the daughter of Marquis Jingbian, disappeared half a month ago."

Xue Qing frowned, "Half a month ago?"

"Yes! Yuan Yunxi seemed to be there when the accident happened in Lin'an. She disappeared at that time."

"Will there be fraud in it?" Xue Qing asked in a deep voice.

The man in black thought for a while before saying: "Probably not. According to the investigation of my subordinates, in Lin'an that day, several people around Yuan Yunxi were on the verge of death several times looking for her. It is said that the injuries were very serious. If the rescue was not timely, those few people It will be in Lin'an."

"The bastards in Lin'an can't handle such a small matter! Fortunately, those weapons have already been produced, and there is no major damage, otherwise I will smash their corpses into thousands of pieces!"

The man in black hurriedly said respectfully: "Master, calm down!"

Xue Qing ignored him, and said coldly: "Find out who took the first step as soon as possible. The refugees should also act quickly! I want to see how they will deal with it!"

Just as the man in black stepped back, there was another knock on the door.

"Master, Your Royal Highness welcomes you!"

Xue Qing's face turned cold instantly.
