Qin Shuihan rushed to Shanyang with Lin Yi.
"Shui Han, the New Year is approaching, do you really have time to accompany me to Hangzhou? I don't have to go."
Lin Yi was a little surprised. They had already arrived in Shanyang. Qin Shuihan, who was busy with official duties, didn't have to rush back to the capital?
"I have enough time, I have a little surprise for you."
While she was sleeping, Qin Shuihan had already ordered his men to go to Hangzhou to buy a house.
Since Lin Yi is from Hangzhou, of course he will give her a place to live in Hangzhou.
He had long heard that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River were beautiful and beautiful.
On this trip south, he found that the scenery along the way was really different from the capital city.
Qin Shuihan opened a small lamp in front of him and looked at a ball of white flowery dishes. He was very surprised and had no idea what it was.
Lin Yi was wondering what kind of surprise there was, but since it was a surprise, he would save it for the announcement in Hangzhou.
She happily opened the small cup that the waiter had just brought over. Seeing Qin Shuihan frowning and unable to guess what it was, she immediately took a spoonful and tasted it. Sure enough, it tasted good.
"This is Wensi Tofu."
Lin Yi didn't expect this dish to have such a long history.
"Try it quickly. Although it's just ordinary tofu, it will test the chef's knife skills."
Qin Shuihan also took a spoonful and put it in his mouth. It was indeed tofu, soft, tender and mellow, and melted in his mouth.
Really good.
Seeing Lin Yi eating so deliciously, Qin Shuihan couldn't help but sigh. She is indeed a woman from Jiangnan, and she can tell the cuisine here at a glance.
"We will take the official ship to Hangzhou later. We can arrive there in one day."
Lin Yi stopped holding the spoon in his hand and suddenly remembered the figure he had seen on the boat.
"Shuihan, did you come from Shanyang on an official ship?"
Qin Shuihan nodded and replied: "In order to pursue you, I ordered to go to Shanyang as quickly as possible, taking the Longyuan official ship, which has the fastest waterway."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I think I saw you. When the official ship passes by, all civilian ships must give way."
Qin Shuihan was slightly startled. It turned out that they were once so close to each other, but unfortunately they passed by each other again. If he hadn't asked the boatman's wife in person, he would have missed her again.
He didn't dare to think anymore and just stared at Lin Yi silently.
Seeing her devouring a table full of food, he felt distressed again.
How long has it been since you had a good meal?
"Eat slowly."
Qin Shuihan put down his chopsticks and looked at her quietly, eating with nostalgia.
Lin Yi raised her head and glanced at him. She had just stuffed a small steamed bun into her mouth.
Different from the meat stuffing in Beijing, the xiaolongbao here is filled with crab roe, which is very delicious.
While chewing, she whined: "I was short of money along the way, ugh, I haven't eaten anything good."
Qin Shuihan sighed slightly and would make it up to her from now on.
After the two of them finished their meal, they saw Bo Jingchang, the magistrate of Shanyang, waiting respectfully at the door of the restaurant as soon as they went out.
There was a middle-aged man standing next to him.
Judging from the official uniform, his official position is slightly higher than that of Bo Jingchang.
"Meet King Han."
The man performed an official salute.
"The humble minister He Yushu, the governor of Suzhou, pays homage to King Han."
"No gift."
Qin Shuihan's attitude was a bit indifferent. He just went south incognito and did not want to summon any officials.
Lin Yi glanced at the two people and realized that these were local officials. They looked different from what they had seen on TV.
The two of them also glanced at Lin Yi.
Bo Jingchang could tell at a glance that she was the woman Qin Shuihan had been looking for, but her cloth clothes were really puzzling.
But the appearance is really amazing.
Bao Jingchang made a small calculation in his mind. If his three daughters were only 28 years old, if they could catch the eye of King Han, he could continue to work steadily as a county magistrate.
"King Han, the officials in Suzhou heard that King Han was going south, and specially sent Wei Chen as their representative to beg King Han to come to Suzhou to inspect the people's sentiments and give some advice to us local officials."
After saying this, He Yushu took out an invitation from his sleeve and presented it in his hand.
Qin Shuihan hesitated for a moment and accepted the invitation.
The content is very sincere. I invite myself to attend a local gathering attended by several officials in Suzhou.
Qin Shuihan glanced at Bao Jingchang and asked, "Bo Zhi County, do you understand the people's sentiments in Suzhou?"
Bo Jingchang was slightly stunned, not knowing the purpose of Qin Shuihan's question.
"Wei Chen is focused on Shanyang affairs and doesn't know much about the people's sentiments in Suzhou."
Qin Shuihan nodded, and then said to He Yushu: "Prince He, I have important matters to go to Hangzhou, so I will bother Magistrate Bo to make a trip to Suzhou. Then I will compare the public sentiments in Suzhou and Shanyang, and organize them. Complete the file and give it to me. I will report it to my father."
Immediately, Bo Jingchang greeted He Yushu's family in his heart and got himself involved!
"Wei Chen takes orders."
He Yushu sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being King Han, and he did everything flawlessly.
He also nodded.
Qin Shuihan pulled Lin Yi towards the official ship.
As soon as they got on the boat, Bao Jingchang ran a few steps to catch up.
"King Han, please stay. I have one more thing to do."
Qin Shuihan paused and looked at him.
Bo Jingchang glanced at Lin Yi, obviously wanting to talk to Qin Shuihan alone.
Qin Shuihan glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.
Is this an opinion against Yiyi?
Regardless of who she is, is the woman who can stand beside him an ordinary person?
But this outfit is indeed too shabby.
Qin Shuihan frowned. Zhu Tianhua, who was sent to buy clothes, hadn't come back yet. The efficiency was too slow.
"Bozhi County, come to the cabin."
As soon as he got on the boat, Qin Shuihan directly pulled Lin Yi to sit down next to him.
"Bo Zhi County, but it doesn't matter."
Although Bao Jingchang was curious about Lin Yi's identity, he could see something from the fact that King Han was always with him.
It's not an ordinary favor anyway.
In desperation, he immediately reported: "For the information to King Han, Yan Bin and his men have all been taken to prison. But Yan's father was very angry. As one of the top escort agencies in Jiangnan, he said how could King Han chop his son's body indiscriminately? hand…"
"Bozhi County, what do you want me to do?"
Bo Jingchang carefully tried to figure out Qin Shuihan's thoughts. Seeing that his tone was calm and his expression was calm, he boldly said, "I am ignorant, so why not reduce the Yan family's taxes for one year as a sign of appeasement."
"Okay. Just follow what Magistrate Bo said."
Bo Jingchang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that King Han would be easy to talk to.
Lin Yi blinked, feeling that Qin Shuihan's reaction was a bit abnormal.
"Thank you, King Han."
"Bozhi County."
There was a hint of uplift in Qin Shuihan's voice.
Lin Yi pricked up her ears.
"Selling illicit salt is a serious crime that can lead to beheading, and Bozhi County must be very aware of it."
Qin Shuihan stared at Bao Jingchang with a smile but not a smile. Although he had not found out Yan Bin's family background and did not understand the distribution of power in Shanyang, he had already sent people to find out the details of Shanyang's county magistrate and city envoy. .
And that Jiangnan Yan family, the so-called master of the Feng Shui Hall, is engaged in the escort business.
In less than a day, Fengying Pavilion had discovered that the Yan family was selling illegal salt.
There must be collusion with the government behind this, and Bo Jingchang in front of him was the first to bear the brunt.
Bo Jingchang heard Qin Shuihan's mysterious voice and was so shocked that he was sweating profusely.
Fortunately, he didn't look like he wanted to pursue it.
He glanced at Qin Shuihan carefully, and he looked like he was untouchable at all, just as the rumors said.
"Yes, I understand."
Lin Yi was very surprised. Shui Han had just arrived in Shanyang. Could it be that he had already mastered everything here?
After Bo Jingchang left, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask: "Shui Han, you know the government affairs of Shanyang very well? Selling private salt, do you mean that Bo County magistrate colluded with the Yan family?"
Qin Shuihan smiled slightly, and Yiyi's reaction was quick, and he heard the key to it in just one sentence.
But he didn't explain much, just patted her little head.
"You, don't worry about these trivial things. Please change out of these unisex clothes first. I'll buy you new ones when we get to Hangzhou."
Qin Shuihan signaled Zhu Tianhua, who had just returned to the boat, to bring up the clothes in his hand.
"Get ready to set off. The second room on the bow is for you to use."
Lin Yi took the clothes and ran to the cabin happily.
Looking at the clothes Lin Yi took over, Qin Shuihan sighed helplessly.
He asked Zhu Tianhua to buy yellow, but ended up buying something in such a rustic color.
However, Zhu Tianhua went to countless clothing stores in order to buy a yellow ready-made garment.
Yellow is more popular in the south of the Yangtze River than in the capital, and it needs to be customized. It was difficult to find a khaki ready-made garment. Although Zhu Tianhua also felt that it was rustic, this was the only yellow ready-made garment he could find.
Zhu Tianhua also sighed helplessly, no matter what, it looked better than Miss Yi's clothes.
There are five compartments in the ship, the second one is the most luxurious.
Lin Yi walked in and found two birdcages on the table, one empty and one with a homing pigeon inside.
She approached the pigeon and saw that it was not nervous at all, it just kept cooing.
Lin Yi picked up the corn kernels on the side and threw a handful in.
Seeing the pigeons eating deliciously, she smiled with satisfaction.
Lin Yi changed out of his men's clothes. This new set of clothes was indeed much warmer than the clothes on his body. Although the color was a bit weird, the embroidery on the clothes was really beautiful.
Moreover, this kind of embroidery seems not to be embroidered later, but the color matching is adjusted during weaving.
Lin Yi shook her sleeves. Sure enough, the texture was thick and very warm.
She looked at the cabin again, it was really luxurious.
There is a bronze incense burner placed in the corner, and the elegant agarwood fragrance fills the cabin.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that no wonder Shui Han had a faint scent of agarwood.
Looking at the neat pile of letters on the desk, she frowned. Shui Han really took time out of his busy schedule to accompany her to Hangzhou. Was it because that was her hometown?
She pouted, feeling a little guilty.
The pigeon finished pecking the corn kernels and started cooing again.
Lin Yi walked to the cage, grabbed a handful of corn kernels, and fed them one by one.
Don't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will become too fat to fly!
Qin Shuihan opened the door.
Lin Yi, who was playing with the pigeons, turned to look at him and smiled.
Looking back at Bai Meisheng with a smile.
It turns out that nothing in this world is worth her smile.
Looking at Lin Yi in front of him, Qin Shuihan suddenly felt a little unreal. The rustic yellow color also made her charming, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged her.
"Don't leave me, don't leave me in this life!"
Lin Yi was slightly startled, what's going on?
At this time, she was holding corn kernels in one hand and didn't know where to put them.
The pigeons seemed to notice the bait in her hand and kept cooing.
She gently rubbed Qin Shuihan's back.
"Shuihan, what's wrong?"
“I don’t dare think back on how I got here over the past six months.”
Lin Yi sighed.
These days, I think that Qin Shuihan is just heartbroken. At least I can't hold it in anymore and I can still take a look at him secretly.
And he thought that he was missing the deceased, and the feeling of never being able to see each other again was truly heartbreaking.
"I'm sorry, I will protect myself next time. I won't let you worry."
Recalling that Chu Xinyi stabbed her in the heart with a knife, Lin Yi was still frightened.
Thinking of that ghostly look staring at him still makes him shudder.
How could a woman be so vicious.
Lin Yi closed her eyes and nuzzled into Qin Shuihan's arms again.
The taste of death is not good, especially at the moment of death, frames of pictures appear in front of my eyes, all of which are full of reluctance to let go of Qin Shuihan.
It's just that she can be reborn once more and be her true self. Lin Yi doesn't know whether to thank her or hate her...
"Shui Han, Chu Xinyi...how are you doing now?"
Qin Shuihan was silent. It was the first time that he personally killed a woman. The method was so cruel that Qin Yi was scared to death.
At that time, I might really be like a devil, but who could understand my heartache.
"died."
Qin Shuihan hugged Lin Yi tightly again. He would never allow this to happen again.
Bi Yue's bodyguard was not enough, so he planned to arrange another personal bodyguard.
Lin Yi frowned and simply said "dead"?
What does it mean?
She was hugged so hard that she couldn't breathe.
But it didn't sound like he was dead, but like he was killed.
Lin Yi believed that he would definitely take revenge on her, but she would not have thought of using such a cruel method.
"Look, the pigeons are cooing with hunger. Let's feed the pigeons together."
Lin Yi didn't want him to think about those unhappy things anymore, so he immediately changed the topic.
Only then did Qin Shuihan notice that the pigeon was staring sideways at the corn kernels in Lin Yi's hand.
He immediately smiled and said: "This is the pigeon trained by Zhu Tianhua. If there is any important matter in the capital, Xiao Qi and Li Shang will fly pigeons to send me messages."
Lin Yi also laughed. It would be great if there was a mobile phone. One phone call could solve the problem.
