After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Shen Yichao spoke in a low voice, not knowing what he said, which made Han Yanliang giggle.

Shen Yijue ate the beef noodles in silence. The chili pepper entered his throat but he didn't seem to feel the spiciness.

Nan Jiaojiao and the girl from the Yin family didn't eat either. They just stretched their little necks to watch the excitement, with a sense of urgency before the war.

Xiao Yi's expression was ugly.

He knocked on the table: "What are you doing?"

Everyone came to their senses.

Shen Yichao said warmly: "Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"

Xiao Yi sarcastically said: "You were ordered to come to Luoyang to investigate the flood. The flood was not found, so you are more interested in chasing women."

Shen Yichao was not upset and personally served him a bowl of oily noodles: "The problem with the dam is simply because someone embezzled the money to repair the embankment. The in-law relationship in the Luoyang family is intricate, and officials protect each other. We, outsiders, want to investigate the corrupt officials. It’s extremely difficult.”

He behaved calmly and calmly, and his eyes were full of confidence and indifference.

It was as if the young man from Jinguan City was back again.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows: "In your opinion, what should it be?"

Shen Yichao smiled: "Luoshui and Laojun Mountain are not far apart. In my opinion, it is better to go and inspect it in person. You can not only see the dam, but also peek at the bandits, why not?"

He sandwiched two more pieces of dragon beard cake for Han Yanliang: "And I heard that the leading robber in Laojun Mountain is a strange man. When his men were fighting with the officers and soldiers on the Luoshui River, he could sit calmly on the reed bank. Play the huqin. Your Highness and Brother should be very interested in such an opponent."

Xiao Yi looked at the map.

He has no interest in big thieves, he is only interested in the power game in Luoyang City.

Nowadays, Luoyang City is divided into three parties: the bandits, the local aristocratic families, and he and Shen Yijue.

It would be beneficial for him to get in touch with the bandits and understand what they and Prefect Yin were planning.

He closed the map and made a decision: "After dinner, go to Laojun Mountain."

Since we only planned to wander around Luoshui and not get close to the bandits' den, there was no danger in this trip. Nan Baoyi and the other three girls also wanted to go and have a look, so Xiao Yi took them with him.

The carriage drove out of Luoyang City and headed towards Luoshui.

Nan Baoyi opened the curtains and saw the Shen brothers riding horses.

Shen Yichao was smiling and talking about something, while Shen Yijue had a calm expression.

She turned to look at Han Yanliang, and finally asked the question she had been depressed about all morning: "You clearly promised me not to associate with Shen Yichao, why did you break your promise? How can you deserve someone like him -"

"G."

Han Yan coolly curled his lips, his smile full of carelessness.

Turning over a page of Luoyang geography with her slender jade fingers, she suddenly said: "Nan Jiaojiao, the geography says that there are many Buddhist temples outside Luoyang City, and there are also many giant Buddhas carved along the mountain walls. It is very spectacular to think about it. Let's talk about it later It’s a must-see.”

Xingzi's slightly raised eyes were full of yearning.

She was so focused that she didn't seem to care about Shen Yichao at all.

Nan Baoyi bit her lip.

Yin Sui leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Jiaojiao,

I feel like Miss Han was hurt by someone. At first, when I was bullied by my two cousins, I also gave up on myself like this. "

Giving up on yourself?

Nan Baoyi was stunned.

She was awakened.

The night she and her second brother went to Pingdong Temple, something must have happened in Bieyuan.

In the past, Shen Yijue always paid special attention to Boss Yihan, but this morning, the two of them were like strangers.

Shen Yi will never change like this. Is it because of Shen Yichao?

Yes, the young man of the Shen family is selfish and cunning. He must have forced his brother to give up Boss Han so that he could take advantage of the situation!

She was anxious and decided to persuade Shen Yijue after getting off the car.

The carriage stopped by Luoshui River.

Nan Baoyi was about to jump out of the car, but was stopped by Xiao Yi.

She stood in the car and looked around in confusion.

The weather is bad today. Thick leaden gray clouds are gradually gathering, blocking the sun.

Luoshui is vast and Mang Mountain is green.

The houses and fertile fields in the distance were all washed away by floods. It was spring, but the fertile fields were barren and overgrown with reeds, and not a single wheat seedling was visible.

Groups of refugees were camped by the river, all with sallow faces and skinny bodies. The babies were crying in their mother's arms, the women were weeping secretly because they had no milk, and the old people who were about to starve to death smiled and refused the last ration, just to give them food. A chance for my grandson to live.

The scene here is in sharp contrast to the prosperity in Luoyang City.

She was stunned: "How could this happen?"

Xiao Yi: "When I was in the prefect's mansion, I ordered Tianshu to check the local accounts. In addition to the court tax, Yin Sinian also privately added city tax, city tax, house tax, field tax and other miscellaneous items. Calculation When it comes down, the tax amount is as high as 50% to 60%.”

Nan Baoyi was shocked.

This means that people must hand over half or even more than half of their total annual income to the local government.

So what are they left with?

This is really too oppressive!

At this moment, several children noticed their group.

Seeing that they were dressed in extraordinary clothes, they rushed over with small bowls in their hands, stretched out their dirty little hands, and shouted pitifully: "Give me something to eat, noble man, please give me something to eat!"

Yin Sui saw how pitiful they were and couldn't help but blush: "Jiaojiao, there are two boxes of flower cakes in the carriage, can you give them to them?"

Nan Baoyi cruelly brushed away a child's hand: "I can't give it."

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at them.

Once food is given away, more refugees will come around.

People who are extremely hungry are no different from wild beasts. In the end, they will not only riot, but when they are anxious, they will even eat the horses pulling their carts and rob their clothes.

Xiao Yi mounted the horse and said, "Let's go."

A group of people walked along Luoshui.

The front gradually approached Laojun Mountain, where the local army camped and held a stalemate with the bandits, preventing their forces from approaching Luoyang City.

At this time, there were several ships parked on the water, and the officers and soldiers were practicing water battles.

Officials had long heard of Xiao Yi and Shen Yijue's names and admired their talents, so they diligently asked them for their experience in leading armies in battle.

Nan Baoyi jumped out of the carriage and stood by the water, curiously looking at the mountain scenery in the distance.

There are undulating green hills and peaks, and huge Buddha statues are carved on the mountain walls. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources were spent.

The Buddha statue is reflected in the water, and as the water ripples, his compassionate and dignified appearance appears a little distorted.

It's raining……

Nan Baoyi looked at the gloomy sky and raised his sleeves to wipe the raindrops from his cheeks.

She was about to return to the carriage when she saw more and more ripples on the water.

Countless small reed tubes come closer from far away, gradually approaching the shore.

Realizing something, she suddenly turned around and shouted: "Drum!"

Beating drums means fighting against the enemy.

But the officials only gathered around Xiao Yi and Shen Yijue to ask for advice. The soldiers nearby looked at each other, wondering why she suddenly called for drum beat.

The water is vast and the bandits haven’t come over yet!

In their confusion, one hand reached out of the water and suddenly grabbed Nan Baoyi's ankle!

Reed tubes used for breathing underwater were discarded.

Countless bandits climbed onto the water bank, drew their sabers, shouted arrogantly and attacked the helpless officers and soldiers.
