Lin Yan felt as if he was in a dream and scratched his head: "Are you really the emperor's master?"
Li Yunxiao ignored it and kept writing about Yang Mingwan's charges.
Lin Yan seemed to be disappointed and walked out the door muttering to himself.
"The emperor's master is really amazing in appearance. He doesn't look old at all. Could it be that he is a monster? Bah bah bah, could he be a god?"
Jiangchen smiled lightly: "There are many ways to maintain appearance in the world. Does Sun Simiao, the miracle doctor, know that? Doesn't he also have the appearance of a youth?"
After saying that, she pointed to the room again: "Do you know who he is now? I went in?"
Lin Yan nodded quickly and bowed: "Please, please..."
After the words fell, Lin Yan coughed lightly: "Come on, come on, everyone has dispersed. My lord has said that the Thief Saint will definitely not dare to come again. Let's all go back and rest."
"Oh my god, I can finally rest."
"Yes, it's really hard to be here in the cold wind in the middle of the night."
"It's all that thief's fault, why don't you just kill him..."
"Shh~~~ You are desperate for your life! Keep your voice down!"
In the following ten days, Li Yunxiao was in the courtyard, asking Lin Yan to supervise the distribution of grain.
Officers and soldiers were also sent to work with the victims to rebuild houses in the disaster area. At the same time, some money was distributed to the officers and soldiers who worked hard, including the food and salary that had been deducted by corrupt officials in the past six months.
This operation was all handled by Lin Yan, which made everyone wonder, how could this greedy adult in his family be so kind?
Could it be that the stolen saint was frightened and didn't dare to do it again?
After that, Wen Zhangyuan returned with the flag of a bad guy. He was now appointed by Yuan Tiangang as Tianjiexing to supervise and collect various intelligence in this area.
And he also brought a new county magistrate, who was also a bad person, but he was not a school captain, but a school captain's replacement.
When Yang Mingwan was paraded through the streets, all the people came out to point their noses and curse!
Although his time as an official was short, even the common people who were not oppressed came out to criticize him.
This kind of thing is very common, because many people rely on reputation, for example, someone is a bad person. If it is spread too much, he is a bad person.
Especially when officials are punished, they like to get involved.
With the matter here resolved, Li Yunxiao and Jiang Chen continued their journey.
Passing by here, he picked up a bad person and solved a corrupt official. In his opinion, it was a great harvest.
What concerned him even more was that this bad guy might be related to the future Tianjiexing, which would be even more interesting.
Jiangchen said calmly: "Where are you going this time?"
"Of course it's up to you wherever you go."
"Then you won't go to one place to pick up a bad person, right?"
"Oh, do you think bad people are picked up casually? It all depends on fate and character."
"Okay, let's go, drive!"
....
at the same time.
The Chang'an court was also changing.
The biggest change is that Li Dan is slowly weakening the places where nobles gather, because the famous families in many places have more or less their own soldiers, but the court does not know about it and does not report it to the court.
Although the process was slow, Li Dan was not afraid at all. With Li Yunxiao, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, holding his financial lifeline to give him the full details, what could he not do?
Moreover, there were Yuan Tiangang and Wu Meiniang behind the scenes, so Li Dan would be quick to use his hands and feet, and of course, it would be painful.
If he neglects himself a little, he can just stay for a few days and go out for a walk occasionally. However, after a long time, he will be stared at by Yuan Tiangang.
This gaze was like substance, making his back feel cold and he couldn't even think about doing it properly.
Hard work pays off, he is much better than Li Xian, at least he is obedient, and has a lively and cheerful personality. This also means that although he is not too idle, he is not as tired as his elder brother.
It's settled here, and Wu Meiniang is ready to return to Luoyang. After all, she still prefers to be at ease in Luoyang and doesn't have to see Yuan Tiangang here.
In her heart, she still looks forward to immortality, but what she wants is the kind of immortality without side effects.
For example, the Weeping Blood Record should not be stained with blood. She did not want to learn it. The elixir of immortality was no longer available. Even if it was available, what she admired most was her beauty and intelligence, both of which were indispensable.
This also caused her to be very entangled, and she was easily tempted to think about Yuan Tiangang when she saw him.
But before leaving, she had one thing to do, and it had to be finished before she went back.
That is to let Taiping remarry!
Xue Shao has demoted concubines to slaves. As a mother, she knows what peace will look like.
Among the children she had with Li Zhi, apart from the exiled Li Xian and the imprisoned Li Xian, there was only one left, the emperor Li Dan, and her daughter Taiping. She would not let Taiping alone no matter what she said. After all, there was another way. It’s a win-win situation!
On this day, she withdrew all the servants and maids including Gao Lishi, and called Princess Taiping alone.
Seeing Princess Taiping's expression gloomy and not looking at her mother-in-law since she came in, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but shake her head.
"It's been nearly three years now, and you haven't come to the palace to see me for so long. Over the years, my mother has been busy with government affairs and has not been able to talk to you. How have you been lately?"
Princess Taiping snorted softly, raised her head, looked away, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Standing alone in an empty room, the days are like years, what else can I do?"
"But it's okay. At least he's still alive. I have to thank you, boss, for your mercy."
There was sarcasm in these words, and Wu Meiniang could naturally hear it.
But Wu Meiniang did not get angry, but said calmly: "How are the children? How are the women and children of the Xue family?"
Princess Taiping chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry about them all the time. They are doing well. They have everything. They just cry when they think of their father. It's all a trivial matter."
"As for the women and children of the Xue family, what can they do? What can they dare to do?"
Wu Meiniang nodded: "Mom is going back, what are you going to do in the future? You can't just stay alone in an empty room, right?"
Princess Taiping was slightly startled: "What do you mean by always? Do you want me to remarry? Xue Shao is not dead yet!"
After saying this, Princess Taiping regretted it. She is not dead now, but Wu Meiniang has many ways to make him die!
Wu Meiniang sighed: "My mother has watched you grow up. Although your affairs are kept very confidential, my mother is not blind."
Princess Taiping once sent people to select men to 'take care of' the courtyard behind Xue Shao's back, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was not taking care of the courtyard, but clearly taking care of herself.
After all, Xue Shao is away from home all the year round, and her personality is relatively unrestrained. She dares to do many things. If she comes and goes, the so-called three obediences and four virtues don't matter to her.
But she didn't know that her mother knew about this matter.
"Are you always threatening me?"
Wu Meiniang snorted softly and walked slowly to the pavilion.
"Okay, Mom won't go around in circles with you. The Xue family will definitely not want you. As for you, Mom will choose a person who is well-matched to your family. Everyone can make it clear."
"From now on, I won't ask much about your personal affairs, just live a good life."
"The most important thing is that your children cannot live without their father. Now that it has been a few years, they should find someone to rely on."
Princess Taiping walked forward calmly and said sarcastically: "It seems that you have already chosen a good person for me. Nothing I say can make it happen, right?"
Wu Meiniang nodded and said in a serious tone:
"Wu Chengsi has not married for so many years since he entered the court. He is now the prime minister. Mom thinks it is appropriate for you two to get married. What do you think?"
Wu Chengsi, who was lying in his mansion basking in the sun, sneezed for no reason. He looked around, rubbed his nose and lay down again.
