"What did you say? Some refugees are already lingering at the back door?" Xiao Shaoyin's eyes flashed coldly as she inquired carefully, "Are those strong men?"
"That's right." Although the butler didn't know why the lady was so accurate, he still responded immediately and gave a more detailed description:
"It looks like they've been hungry for a while. Perhaps they came up with this idea after seeing people occasionally delivering rice and noodles to our house."
"Send more people to guard it, and secretly open the small door leading to the outside of the city. Now is the time to put it to use." Xiao Shaoyin had kept a trick when she bought this house earlier, and it seems to be still useful now.
Now they are just wandering around the back door. Once they have figured out the situation, they will definitely be ready to take action.
These homeless people behind them may have already prepared to fight to the death.
Even if the court sent someone over at that time, it would take half a month, so they had to leave as soon as possible.
Although he is a fox demon, he cannot kill people for no reason even after practicing for thousands of years. If he were to suffer a thunder disaster, it would be a loss.
Tang Yu finally came back, he must not ruin himself like this.
"Don't let Tang Yu know about this." At the end, Xiao Shaoyin seriously instructed the housekeeper.
But suddenly a clear male voice came from behind them——
"What can't I know?"
Tang Yu walked out slowly from behind them with a very natural expression on his face, as if he was just genuinely curious about this question.
Xiao Shaoyin's right eyelid twitched, and she waved her hand to signal the housekeeper to leave, then she softened her body and prepared to cling to Tang Yu.
Do you think he will fall for such a beauty trap?
Tang Yu solemnly helped Xiao Shaoyin to her feet and said righteously, "If you can't stand, let's go back to the pavilion and sit down and talk slowly."
Xiao Shaoyin, who was trying to temporarily confuse Tang Yu and make him forget about this matter: "..."
What a stubborn block of wood!
Xiao Shaoyin felt annoyed for no reason, but in the end she had to force a smile:
"Nothing, I just asked the butler to do a small thing."
Tang Yu looked at Xiao Shaoyin deeply, and sighed that this silly fox really could not lie.
Then Tang Yu said softly: "Actually, I heard everything."
Although Tang Yu only said this one sentence, Xiao Shaoyin quickly understood what Tang Yu meant. Tang Yu's quiet listening was telling her -
"Tell me, what's going on."
Xiao Shaoyin gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "I don't know what you mean."
"Oh?" Tang Yu asked in a subtle tone, "Don't you know about the refugees at the back door?"
Xiao Shaoyin: It seems that Tang Yu heard everything.
So now...why not knock Tang Yu out and take him away directly?
But Tang Yu had already prepared, and directly used a heavy blow -
He raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with complex and obscure emotions, and finally said with a sad face and a half-smile:
"You don't think I need to know this, do you?"
People who have fallen from the sky to the dust in one day are not qualified to know these things, right?
Because even if he knew, he couldn't change the outcome...
Xiao Shaoyin was stunned, then closed her eyes and firmly denied it word by word:
"No."
"Tang Yu, I've never thought of it this way."
After saying this, Xiao Shaoyin seemed to have made up her mind, and then she pulled Tang Yu all the way to the study. When they arrived at the door of the study, Xiao Shaoyin saw the lock hanging on the door, frowned, and then pulled the lock off with one hand.
Tang Yu: “…Wow.”
However, Xiao Shaoyin did not give Tang Yu time to react, but directly pulled Tang Yu into the study.
This place was chosen by Xiao Shaoyin for Tang Yu herself. It has clear light from the north and south. The rosewood-scented bookshelves are filled with Tang Yu's favorite books. In the middle is a desk piled with fine rice paper and even a lot of wolf-hair brushes.
Xiao Shaoyin has always been willing to spend money on Tang Yu.
However, the most eye-catching thing in the study is the calligraphy hanging on the wall. In fact, the calligraphy is not written by a great calligrapher, but every stroke reveals the determination of the writer.
"Plead for the people."
The neat characters are just like Tang Yu himself, so it is easy to tell that they were written by Tang Yu.
From that small, dark cabin to this place, this calligraphy has been hanging quietly on the wall. It will not change because of the change of environment, but will only keep its original intention as always.
Xiao Shaoyin let go of Tang Yu's hand and skillfully took out a document from the shelf.
"What's this?"
Tang Yu had never seen this in his memory.
"This is your appointment document. Although the county magistrate has reported your absence, the emperor's will cannot be disobeyed. As long as you produce this document, you can still do what you want."
"You are only one rank below the county magistrate, but you are still an official."
Tang Yu was initially shocked that Shao Yin knew more about this than he did, but after hearing what Shao Yin said, he secretly pondered in his heart:
"I don't think Shao Yin said that before..."
Perhaps Xiao Shaoyin also guessed what Tang Yu was thinking. He did not explain, but took Tang Yu's hand and said seriously:
"I know what you want to do, and I won't stop you. Because I believe—"
"You are a good officer."
Although Tang Yu had been highly valued by the emperor, he also possessed real talent and knowledge. Otherwise, he would not have won the title of third place in the imperial examination and his articles would have won the admiration of the staid prime minister.
It was just that Tang Yu had left some tricks behind because he climbed up the ladder too quickly, and he had also handled a lot of things in secret, so he was able to collect evidence of Tang Yu's contact with his colleagues so smoothly.
In fact, when it comes down to it, Tang Yu acted like this because he had helped him.
Tang Yu never did anything improper as an official.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Shaoyin's eyes were too passionate and trusting, Tang Yu's heart was suddenly warmed.
In fact, I am not as good as Shao Yin thinks.
What would he do if he didn't trigger the hidden task?
Will he ignore it or stay out of it?
Tang Yu didn't know, he only knew that at this moment his heart suddenly became more determined -
"I wish I was."
Tang Yu said this seriously after taking the document.
He hoped that he could live up to the four words written on the wall and be worthy of Shao Yin's complete trust.
After finishing this, Xiao Shaoyin smiled with a sense of relief. Not having to worry about those contradictions anymore naturally made her feel much more relaxed.
So no matter what Tang Yu wants to do, he will agree without hesitation.
Even if Tang Yu opened his mouth, he would still personally take action to solve the problems as he did before.
But why would you do that?
When this question suddenly appeared in Xiao Shaoyin's mind, the answer immediately emerged in her mind -
"Because I couldn't bear to see him frown."
