Chapter 247

"It doesn't matter." Liu Ruyan smiled gently, but he also noticed that there was something wrong with the girl, so he nuzui toward the girl's original seat and said, "go back to dinner."

The girl bit her lower lip and nodded. There was a flash of pure light in her eyes. She held her head and shook it. She looked that she had drunk too much and leaned on the table.

Liu Ruyan coughed and didn't ask anyone to help the girl back. He just watched the girl go by herself.

The girl leaned against the table for a long time and saw that no one would take care of her, so she put down the hand holding her head and turned back to her seat. When she passed Lian Chengming, her body shook. If she couldn't stand, she would fall into Lian Chengming's arms.

Unfortunately, Lian Chengming is a martial artist, and his reaction is naturally much faster than that of ordinary people. When the girl was about to fall, Lian Chengming subconsciously turned back, stretched out his hand and held the girl's shoulder.

The next second, Lian Chengming got up, left his seat, loosened his hand and let the girl fall on the table. The girl fell off guard and didn't control her strength, so she fell down and maybe touched her forehead.

Liu Ruyan didn't really look at it. He just watched the girl touch the table, and then fell to the ground. Lian Chengming looked down at the girl sitting on the ground, his face as if frozen.

"It hurts..." the girl groaned, but the guards around looked at each other. They only looked at Lian Chengming's bad complexion, but no one dared to help her.

Sitting on the ground for a long time, she rubbed her hands. When the girl saw that no one cared about her, she had to stand up by herself. Her body was still a little shaky. When she stopped, the girl's face was red and her eyes were red. Unexpectedly, she burst into tears.

Looking at it, he turned around and ran away. He didn't eat lunch. He trotted upstairs and went back to his room.

Liu Ruyan looked confused. How old was the girl, but she was a teenager, so mature? Quietly eating the meal, Liu Ruyan looked up at the direction the girl left, with deep meaning in her eyes.

Lian Chengming looked cold and displeased. He patted his robe and sat down.

Liu Ruyan was also served with vegetables. Lian Chengming ordered him to finish all these. This is a dish specially prepared for Liu Ruyan after asking the imperial doctor. Liu Ruyan's body needs to be recuperated. First, he needs to work hard on the meal.

Otherwise, even Chengming wouldn't agree with the magistrate to hold this banquet. After all, even Chengming doesn't like trouble. He doesn't know the magistrate's caution.

Fifteen saw the girl's every move, put the chopsticks on the table, and angrily wanted to go up to find the girl to argue. Chen miner grabbed it: "princess, you'd better calm down and have dinner first. The mother hasn't said anything yet. Don't add trouble."

This means that acting rashly at this time is likely to add trouble to Liu Ruyan. Although he is angry at the 15th, he also understands the truth. He only heard Chen miner say, "you must believe that your mother will handle it well. Don't worry."

"You know empress huifei." fifteen turned his mouth and began to eat silently. He looked as if he was a little jealous.

Chen min'er couldn't help laughing. No wonder the princess is so loved. Who wouldn't hurt such a strange little princess.

When eating, Liu Ruyan looked at Lian Chengming's face and asked, "is there something wrong?"

Seeing Lian Chengming nodding, Liu Ruyan immediately knew: "the magistrate has something to deal with. You eat first."

With that, Lian Chengming put down his chopsticks and went upstairs. Qin Jiayan said a few words to the magistrate behind him. He saw that the magistrate's face changed slightly. He hesitated to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and left the table in the direction of Lian Chengming.

In the study, Lian Chengming heard a knock on the door, raised his eyes and saw the magistrate come in with some uneasiness. The magistrate folded his hands and saluted and said, "Your Majesty is still satisfied with your meal recently. I don't know. What's the matter?"

"It's natural that I have something to do with you." Lian Chengming quietly looked up at the magistrate, took a memorial in his hand and threw it in front of the magistrate: "I don't know what the magistrate will explain."

At this time, the magistrate had a cold sweat on his forehead. With some trembling hands, he picked up the memorial on the ground, opened it and looked at it for a while, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty, you are wronged. This is all the nonsense of those trickster people!"

"Wei Chen has been diligent and hard-working since he governed Jiangnan for so many years. There has never been anything more serious. Please check it clearly!"

Lian Chengming suddenly lost his voice. After hearing the magistrate's words, he just hummed coldly and didn't respond. The air in the room was very quiet. There was no sound except the sound of Chengming turning and playing the chapter. The quiet magistrate could hear his own heartbeat.

"Gudu" swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The magistrate raised his head and secretly looked at Lian Chengming's face. He had thought of 10000 Countermeasures in his heart.

Whether to admit it or not, this memorial is a memorial written by the people in private, accusing the magistrate of forcibly recruiting people for free.

There is always a need to hire people for such a big thing in the south of the Yangtze River, but who is willing to do such a hard job, the magistrate, who is an official, and who is unwilling to pay a lot of money to hire people, can only look at those old, weak, sick and disabled and forcibly expropriate them on the basis of taxes.

But I didn't think about it. When I was repairing the river that day, I was just met by Lian Chengming. Although Lian Chengming didn't say anything at that time, he secretly collected evidence.

The magistrate raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He was already thinking about whether to take the initiative to plead guilty.

"I want an explanation, not an excuse. If the magistrate can't explain this matter, in my opinion, you don't have to do it anymore." Lian Chengming's cold voice sounded without a trace of temperature, but with an obvious warning.

The magistrate was so depressed that he immediately bent down and knelt on the ground and kowtowed one by one: "Weichen... Weichen just wants to better manage the Jiangnan. The old people and the old people are also idle at home. It's better to do something for the North..."

"I have paid you a lot of silver!"

Seeing that the magistrate was still trying to explain, Lian Chengming stood up, stared at the magistrate kneeling on the ground without blinking, and coldly opened his mouth and ordered, "I'll give you three days to deal with all the things you forced people to do hard work for free, otherwise after three days, it will be the time for you to lose your black hat."
