Chapter 1145 A Bad Premonition

For a moment, the gate of the Ministry of Revenue was quiet, and everyone was looking at Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren took a step back, waved his sleeves and left without saying a word.

Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, Lord Zhou did not continue to ask questions.

Gu Ren also hurriedly put away his purse, sweat all over. He thought that his day was over!

Shi Qing lowered his voice. He felt that he understood Lord Zhou a little. "Don't be so reckless in the future. Fortunately, Lord Zhou didn't care."

Gu Ren breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can I still register today?"

He was still very nervous and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Shi Qing whispered, "It's okay, the adults are very busy and won't dwell on trivial matters."

Gu Ren's uneasiness disappeared. Yes, Zhou Shuren was very busy. He lowered his head and suppressed his emotions. Hearing that there would be a large-scale road construction this year, he whispered, "I heard that the Ministry of Industry is researching an item for road construction?"

Shi Qing was not clear, and her heart tightened, "I don't know, how do you know?"

There are still people who haven’t been cleared out!

Gu Ren regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself in the face. It turned out to be a secret. "Maybe I heard it wrongly. You know, many of our merchants disappear."

Shi Qing looked at Gu Ren deeply and smiled, "It's better to be careful with some words."

When Gu Ren heard this, he knew it was for his own good, and he felt relieved. The last bit of bad premonition disappeared.

Zhou Shuren never thought about paying attention to it after he went back, as he didn't want to get into trouble. He was very busy. He pressed his brows and looked at the memorial approved by the emperor to the Ministry of Works. He pursed his lips and said, "Building roads is a good thing, but the investment is also huge. Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times there are still many places without roads!"

Zhou Shuren felt distressed when he looked at the folded paper. It was also his fault. Last year, there were continuous heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River and the newly built dikes were abandoned again. It was like a vicious cycle. So when chatting with Lord Fang, he said that it would be great if there was something waterproof. In this way, there would be no need to allocate funds every year to build dikes.

I talked a lot, then forgot about it and continued to be busy.

Lord Fang kept it in mind and also found some traces in ancient books. Unexpectedly, it was developed not long after the Chinese New Year this year. Cement, although some proportions were not well controlled, he thought it was good when he saw it.

Zhou Shuren sighed, the national treasury was still weak.

In the palace, at night, the emperor had already obtained Gu Ren's registration information, and Shi Qing handed over everything he found to the emperor.

The emperor's eyes were cold, "No wonder we can't find them. There are so many merchants in the country. Keep investigating. I want to know where they are hiding."

Shi Qing accepted the order and said, "Yes."

The emperor looked at Shi Qing with a complicated expression. He had carefully looked at the portrait of Shi Qing's child. He didn't know if he had any guesses in his mind, so he felt that he looked a bit like his uncle. "You get up."

Shi Qing stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor asked casually, "Have you recovered from your illness?"

Shi Qing looked up in surprise. He didn't think the emperor knew he was poisoned, but was surprised that he heard his concern? Then he quickly woke up. The emperor must have just asked casually, "It will be difficult to have an heir after a long period of recuperation, but I don't care."

He thought that he was a knife. He already had a son, so he let it go. As long as his son was fine, that was all that mattered.

emperor,"."

He cares. If he had known earlier, this would be fate.

The next afternoon, Su Xuan came back from outside and brought some flowers to her mother-in-law. "My daughter-in-law looks good. Let's add some color to your place."

Zhulan instructed the maid, "Put it in the right place."

Su Xuan saw her mother-in-law cutting paper flowers and said, "Mom's craftsmanship is getting better and better. This looks real from a distance."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes and said, "These are the only things I like."

I have recently become fascinated with origami, paper flowers, and silk flowers.

Su Xuan had no intention of leaving. Her husband had been admitted to the Imperial Academy as an editor, and she was still the county lord's imperial edict. Her husband had been doing well in the imperial examinations and had a promising future. Her life was also going smoothly. She loved to laugh and looked happy. "I saw Shen Yile in the jewelry shop today. She had several layers of powder on her face."

It's obvious that she's not living a happy life, there's blue in her eyes, she looks much older, unlike her, who seems to be getting younger and younger, with a rosy face.

Zhu Lan raised her head, "It should be that Prince Yao is having trouble in the Ministry of War."

Zhou Shuren and Lord Li have a pretty good relationship, and sometimes you can hear them talking about something, but they rarely pay too much attention to Yao Hou Mansion.

Su Xuan really didn't know, but after thinking about it, she realized, "It should be."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Why are you hiding here when you come back? Why don't you go back to see Mingjia and Yuwen?"

Su Xuan felt a headache when she thought of her son. "You said that Changzhi and I are both nagging people, but why can't this child stop talking? He opens his mouth in the morning and never stops talking until he goes to bed at night."

Moreover, at this age, children especially like to ask why. They always ask why for everything and they are the type who want to get to the bottom of things. They are very difficult to pester.

Su Xuan looked at Ming Jing who was sleeping soundly on the small kang, with eyes full of envy, "The eldest wife's children are still obedient."

Zhulan smiled and said, "It's all good, it's all good. It's good for children to have their own personalities. Our family is not a family that follows strict rules."

Su Xuan reached out and touched Ming Jing's chubby little feet, her eyes full of smiles, "This child looks so much like my sister-in-law, I wonder where my sister-in-law has gone?"

Because the vacation was short, they simply packed up and left. Zhulan said, "I don't know either."

In the tavern, Yao Zheyu sat facing the street, drinking wine, feeling frustrated. There was no trace of the high spirits he had in his earlier years. The frown on his brows had never loosened. When his request was not granted this time, he saw the future.

Yao Zheyu was pouring wine. Everyone in the military department was busy, but he was marginalized. He looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street, and the patrolling officers and soldiers guarding the capital. He drank another glass of wine, and suddenly his eyes froze. He squinted and called the servant, "Follow the carriage, be careful."

The servant came back quickly, "I lost him."

Yao Zheyu looked deeply at the servant beside him and waved his hand, "Get out."

Yao Zhe also drank the rest of the wine and sneered. So that's how it is. He said how did he realize that the man was not caught? A servant who had been in his service for many years could not be trusted.

The Ministry of Revenue, Chang Yi stood at the door of the Ministry of Revenue. He was there to collect the second installment of silver. He cursed the officials from the Ministry of Rites in his heart, but he went in anyway because he still wanted the silver.

When Zhou Shuren saw his son, he pointed to the approved folded paper and said, "Take it and go get the money."

Chang Yi looked at the folded paper in front of his father's desk and felt a chill in his heart. There were also so many folded paper last time he came. "Dad, you should also balance work and rest."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Well, I'm busy here, you can go back too."

Half an hour later, Zhou Shuren saw the eunuch in the palace leading Ning Zhiqi in, "What is this?"
