Chapter 460

Judging from the move of the other party to deceive her into the secret room and the contradictory words, most of them are lying.

But she was still uneasy.

My grandfather was safe and sound before he left Beijing, but after he left Beijing? What if someone really got the emperor's advice and secretly moved his hands and feet?

"Count the days. The Duke should have just arrived in Dongyuan city. It was just the beginning of the war. The safety of the first army commander was related to the morale of the army and even the success or failure of the war -" Wu Tsui objectively analyzed: "even if the emperor wanted to do it, he should not choose it at this time."

Xu Mingyi nodded. She naturally understood these principles, but who told the dog emperor not to be a man? She really couldn't be at ease and treat it according to common sense.

Wu Tsui did not blindly persuade her to rest assured, and then said, "but in this war of the Li nationality, the Duke has a good chance of winning, and the Duke is not a belligerent. As long as the other party is willing to surrender, it may not take much time to end the war - but now in this situation, we really need to be more prepared. We can send credible and sharp people to Dongyuan as soon as possible to secretly inquire about the Duke's situation."

This is exactly what Xu Mingyi wants to hear.

Although she had repeatedly told uncle Qin to send a letter back to Beijing in time in case of any abnormal situation, she was afraid that uncle Qin could not detect something in time, or there was something wrong in the process of sending the letter.

Therefore, it's better to let someone see it.

"If it's really about my grandfather's health, or you need to ask a person who is proficient in medical skills to accompany him, you can really prevent accidents..." Xu Ming said.

Although there were accompanying military doctors, she preferred to trust the people she sent.

At such a juncture, there must be no carelessness or luck.

And an ordinary doctor may not be useful

Xu Mingyi couldn't help thinking of ah Kui.

Although ah Kui carries more pots for her on weekdays, the little girl is really eager to learn and make progress, and she has some foundation. Therefore, she has learned a lot of real skills with her this year.

Seeing that she seemed to have made a decision, Wu Tsui said, "this matter must not disturb the emperor's eyes and ears. You should hide people's eyes and ears all the way. Be careful again and again. Even when you are near Dongyuan City, you can't go directly to the military camp with great fanfare."

"Yes." Xu Ming nodded his head. He thought very carefully for a long time. Even if he was strict in governing the army, he did not dare to say that there was no emperor's eye liner.

In order to prevent being watched, it's better to do everything secretly, so that we can take the initiative.

"I'll write a letter to Uncle Qin first and ask him to make arrangements early."

"There's no need to be so troublesome. We should start as soon as possible, and the letter may not arrive before others." Wu Chiu said: "there are hidden piles of the Wu family in Dongyuan City, and there should be contact with the Duke secretly. I'll let Xiao Wu go with me, and he can arrange the management all the way, which can be more appropriate and smooth."

The Xu family is no doubt inferior to the Wu family in terms of the dark pile forces that originated in Daqing and their ways of doing things.

It would be great if Xiao Wu accompanied ah Kui.

At that moment, it was safe first. Xu Mingyi had no reason to refuse. He turned to him and said, "I'll trouble you again -"

When Wu Chiu heard that his feet were slightly slow, he also turned to look at her. When he was about to say something, suddenly there was a wind and rain.

He subconsciously took another step closer to her, half sideways in front of her, blocking all the wind and rain behind her.

Xu Mingyi looked at the tall and straight young man close at hand, thinking about everything that happened tonight. It's no big or small. He seems to have been standing in front of her all the time.

At this time, the rain was very heavy, and the strong wind made the rain dance disorderly, but it seemed that she was protected from the wind and rain by him.

Shelter from the wind and rain.

These four words have always been heard a lot, as if they give people a very common illusion, so there seems to be nothing worth thinking about. But at this moment, feeling his protection, the stability and touch in her heart are unspeakable.

When the wind stopped, Wu Tsugami held up his umbrella and continued to take her forward.

However, the next moment, suddenly a hand was held under his umbrella hand——

The girl's fingers were thin and cool, half holding the umbrella handle and half touching his hand. She used some strength to straighten the umbrella that was originally inclined to her, and the man was closer to him, so that both of them could be under the umbrella.

Although he is willing to protect her, she is not the one who just wants to be protected.

Aware of her intention, Wu Chiu was slightly stunned, and a smile could not help but appear between her eyebrows and eyes.

The rain and fog filled the air, and they gradually walked away.

……

There was nothing to do on a rainy night. At this time, most of the people in Beijing had rested.

Lord Ji in the Beijing yamen is not so comfortable. He is still handling official business in his study at this time.

Recently, it seems that there is little difference between Beijing and China. Everything is still in order. In fact, it has become more and more unstable.

Ji Dong, as the governor of Beijing government, knows this better than anyone else.

Not to mention anything else, he hasn't had a moment of leisure in the daytime recently. He is almost dealing with new cases every day.

Moreover, these cases are different from those common in the past, such as "Lao Wang's frustrated dog stole Lao Li's chicken", "vegetable sellers and tofu sellers quarreled over stalls, and even finally lay down in the street to report to the official, but they couldn't pull up", and so on——

Now the case level is gradually different

Many people often fight because of a few quarrels, theft is emerging one after another, and even several homicides.

In Ji Dong's view, this is not just a problem of public security, but a reflection of the people's shaking and dispersion, the reduction of trust in the imperial court and the loss of awe of law and discipline.

Thinking of these, Ji Dong sighed slightly. Not only the people were worried, but he himself was no exception. Now, when the salary day was approaching, he couldn't help but secretly watch the wind and grass, for fear that the court would default on the excuse.

Even I can't help thinking, if the imperial court really doesn't give salaries, will he continue to occupy his position first, or find a reason to resign? Which option is more cost-effective?

After all, he doesn't want to work for nothing.

With this Kung Fu, you can earn tens of Wen a day at the wharf.

But physical exertion is not a long-term solution. It's better to be a cashier.

Mr. Ji thought, and his thoughts began to drift away. In the pen of annotated official documents in his hand, he almost wrote a line of "100 ways to make money after resignation".

At this time, the door of the study was suddenly knocked from the outside, interrupting Lord Ji's thinking.

In came a yamen servant with rain on his body: "Sir, someone in the former yamen came to report to the official."

Again?

Ji Dong has a headache.

Does it not stop during the day and make people breathe at night? Is it not that rainy nights make people pessimistic and sad, and it is easier to cause things?

"Why did you come?"
