Chapter 473 Rare Treasures
"Master Wei, Miss Zhou is here."
Wei Zhongming glanced at the guest house again and said to the people outside the yard: "You all stay here and guard. If there is any movement inside, you go in and rescue people."
"yes."
After Wei Zhongming finished giving his instructions, he went to the study.
Xiao Jin slept until the evening before waking up quietly.
The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to tighten his hands to make sure the person in his arms was still there.
Su Ying hadn't slept the whole time. She just lay quietly in his arms. She looked at him and opened his eyes before she spoke, "Awake?"
Xiao Jin felt that the most beautiful voice in the world must be Su Ying's voice.
"Awake." He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had slept like this.
"Feeling better?"
"kindness."
"Hurry up, there are still many things to deal with."
Su Ying patted him. She wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible, see the children, and ask Uncle He to prepare lots of food and feed Xiao Jin to make him fatter. He was really too thin now.
Xiao Jin didn't want to think about it. He wished time could stop at this moment so that he could be with Su Ying forever.
But Su Ying said she was hungry, so he had no choice but to get up.
As soon as she sat up, the cloth on Su Ying's body slipped off, revealing her spring scenery.
Su Ying felt a chill in her chest and when she raised her eyes she met Xiao Jin's increasingly dark eyes.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, and she just remembered that she was not wearing any clothes when she came out just now.
She wanted to get up to get her dress, but Xiao Jin pulled her back forcefully and approached her.
The kiss fell lightly and carefully as if he was appreciating a rare treasure, completely different from his previous crazy and domineering manner.
The warmth in Su Ying's heart seemed to be broken in an instant, and she hugged him back to enjoy the intimacy of this moment.
At the moment of interweaving, she realized that all the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart burst out, and she only wanted to merge into his body at this moment.
The wind and rain lasted for a long time before they stopped. Xiao Jin kissed her back lovingly, wanting to leave his mark all over her body.
"I'll get the clothes."
He stood up and walked to the bathroom to get out a clean dress.
Su Ying wanted to reach out and take it, but he dodged her.
"I'll do it."
After such a strenuous exercise, Su Ying was also tired, so she just let him do it.
Xiao Jin lowered his eyebrows and his movements were gentle and skillful. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
"Are the kids all right?"
"kindness."
Su Ying was a little worried. After all, she didn't expect Xiao Jin to become like this.
When she hugged him just now, she felt that he was too thin.
"Did you eat well?"
"kindness."
"Let's go back as soon as possible."
"good."
After the two of them put on their clothes and Xiao Jin put on his mask again, they walked out of the guest house.
Just now, Su Ying had learned from Xiao Jin about the circumstances of his coming here. It would be better not to reveal his identity to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The guard standing outside the door thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that the two would walk hand in hand in peace.
Didn’t we agree to go in and capture the fake queen?
The housekeeper who stayed behind was also confused. He kept looking at Xiao Jin, eagerly hoping that he could give him some hints with his eyes, but Xiao Jin just looked at them with cold eyes and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You don't even kneel down to pay respects to the queen when you see her."
These words directly confirmed Su Ying's identity.
Everyone outside the courtyard was stunned. Su Ying was actually the real queen?
The housekeeper felt that the officials from the capital would definitely not lie. They were all stunned and knelt down in fear.
"Greetings to the Queen, greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Su Ying glanced at them all, "Where's Wei Zhongming?"
"Reply, reply to the queen, sir, the sir has gone to the study."
Su Ying didn't waste any time and walked straight towards the study.
The housekeeper stood up trembling, wondering which shortcut to take to inform Wei Zhongming!
But Su Ying and Xiao Jin's pace was so fast that I couldn't outrun them even if I ran. What should I do?
In the study, Wei Zhongming was still asking Zhou Xiangrong how he treated the epidemic. The more he listened, the more he felt that Zhou Xiangrong was his salvation!
Just as he was about to praise Zhou Xiangrong, the study door was suddenly pushed open and Su Ying walked in.
Seeing Su Ying, Wei Zhongming instinctively shrank for a moment, but he soon realized that Su Ying was an imposter and he didn't need to be afraid at all. He straightened his chest and said, "You are so bold and presumptuous to pretend to be the queen. Come on, what are you still standing there for? Arrest her for me."
"Lord Wei has such great authority, how can you question the Queen!" Xiao Jin walked into the room after Su Ying. His dark eyes could make Wei Zhongming die on the spot!
Wei Zhongming was shocked and his brain short-circuited. It took him a while to understand what Xiao Jin meant.
His body reacted faster than his brain, and he knelt down directly in front of Su Ying.
"You are the real Queen."
Su Ying sneered, "You have always thought I was a fake, but you are still willing to follow my orders? Lord Wei, you are not stupid. Of course you are not stupid. If you were stupid, how could you let a fire burn down the granary and then let all the grain in the granary go into your pocket!"
Wei Zhongming’s face turned pale. Su Ying actually knew that!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This, this is my explanation. The fire... I have already..." Wei Zhongming was frightened and spoke incoherently. The matter of the granary was kept secret, and he really didn't expect that Su Ying would even find out about it.
"Shut up! Wei Zhongming, you deserve to die a hundred times for your crime, but I am merciful and will give you a chance to live."
Wei Zhongming was trembling. He was really afraid that all his efforts over the years would go to waste, but he was also afraid that his head would be torn apart. "Please, please give me some advice, Madam."
"There is drought in Luo City every year. In order to reduce the burden on Luo City, the imperial court reduces the taxes in Luo City every year, but it can't solve the fundamental problem. A few days ago, the imperial palace went into the mountains and found that Luo City is not far from Nanjiang, but there is no drought in Nanjiang."
Although there is water in Nanjiang, the banks of the Nanjiang River near Luocheng are not suitable for living. This is why even if there is a drought in Luocheng, very few people migrate there.
If people don't want to live there, then we can find a way to bring water from the Nanjiang River here.
Su Ying looked at Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin nodded slightly at her, motioning her to continue.
Su Ying asked Wei Zhongming to bring the topographic map around Luocheng and told him her plan.
From my field investigation, I learned that there is a cave on the bank of the Nanjiang River. The cave is full of water, and the location of the cave happens to be the section where the Nanjiang River floods during the flood season. In other words, as long as they can use this cave as a suction point to divert the water that overflows from the Nanjiang River during the flood season to Luocheng for storage, it will not only alleviate the pressure on the Nanjiang River during the flood season, but also store water for Luocheng for irrigation of the farmers.
Wei Zhongming shook his head and said, "No, Madam."
