Reborn girl from poor family

The next day, before the time came, Qiu Naicheng had already stepped out of the back house and was preparing to go to the Yamen.

When passing by the outer courtyard, he stopped again outside the courtyard wall.

The courtyard was still quiet, probably for fear of disturbing Shen Huai's rest, and there was no sign of moving out at this time.

"My lord, are you ready to see him off?" Wu Yong, who was accompanying him, asked in a low voice.

Qiu Naicheng stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head, "Last night has already happened. Shen Huai is not a polite person. Besides, I probably have no time to be around today."

Having said that, what he was thinking about was the cup of stew that his daughter Qiu Nianyun secretly gave him yesterday.

Yesterday, I specially rushed back to ask my wife to take advantage of Qiu Nian Yunxiao. This was the result of Qiu Naicheng's repeated calculations. Unexpectedly, Shen Huai moved faster than them and was about to move out.

Shen Huai was asleep when he came last night. Shen Huai was still awake when he passed by this morning. Is this a coincidence?

If Shen Huai deliberately avoids meeting each other, he is indeed ill. He goes to bed early and wakes up late to clean up. But if it is said that Shen Huai is weak due to illness, so his work and rest are unusual, he suddenly drags his illness with him. Move out.

Qiu Naicheng turned around with a heavy look. If he said he was not embarrassed and disappointed, it would be a lie.

How could Wu Yong not know what was on his mind? Instead, he talked about today's important matters: "Eunuch Wu was furious at the Yamen yesterday. There was a follow-up. At night, he was accompanied by Jin Yiwei, who tortured the Luo gang members in the prison and even killed them. Killed more than ten lives."

"Did you confess anything?"

"But you can't find out about it. The Jinyi guards are guarding the cell door, so our people can't get close."

"Well, Li Zheng has been guarding Huai'an for three years, and he has always known how to please. His death this time has hurt the inner court's reputation. He will never let it go no matter what." Qiu Naicheng hummed: "The Superintendent of Ceremonies Of course, I sent Eunuch Wu here for more than just conveying the order."

He said and walked away, "Keep watching and look for opportunities to add fuel to the fire. It would be better if we could pull out all Cao Kaihe's people in the Cao Army."

Wu Yong nodded and followed, "However, it is not easy to put people in one pit after another. The person in charge sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs is Dr. Xie Youlin. He first arrived in Huai'an and met Hu Xing at night."

"Hu Xing?" Qiu Naicheng laughed, "Does he think that the account books he made up in Guanguan are perfect?" He pondered for a while and then said: "Throw Wang Jixian out first and explore Xie Youlin's truth."

"yes."

The figures of the two gradually disappeared in the darkness of dawn, and as they walked further away, a small head appeared on the wall of the outer courtyard.

Su Ya held her face sadly, leaned against the high eaves of the outer courtyard and sighed.

She dreamed over and over again that night. In the dream, Shen Huai was either like this or that. It was really torturous.

Yan asked in a daze a few times, then she simply got up and left the house, thinking about the coolness and refreshment, how could she wake up, but how could she have known that she would encounter this scene?

It was not the first time that she had seen the various schemes of Qiu Naicheng and his staff, but in the past, she had tried so hard to eavesdrop, but this was the first time that they were brought to her and told to her.

Sure enough, those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first!

In the house in front of the governor's house and behind the yamen, all the officials and gentry were coming in and out. Even the yamen servants who chatted in private often revealed news, which was much better informed than elsewhere.

But Shen Huai had to move out in a hurry to avoid suspicion.

In fact, if he really treated Qiu Nianyun with straight eyes and an iron heart, she wouldn't care too much... Well, she still felt uncomfortable.

Su Ya curled her lips and jumped off the wall. She had to admit that Shen Huai decisively expressed his stance through actions, which made her feel very happy.

Suddenly there were two coughs behind her. Su Ya turned her head and saw Xu Yuan walking out from behind the tree in the corner.

"Scared!" Su Ya said in shock: "How long have you been here?!"

"Soon, it's not even two hours." Xu Yuan said respectfully: "Miss Su is lost in thought, and I don't dare to disturb her."

Su Ya's face was feverish, and she suppressed a roll of her eyes. Xu Yuan and Gao Jun took turns guarding the outer courtyard every night, and they had never hidden this matter from her. She was so devastated just now that she actually neglected it.

She said dullly: "Don't tell Shen Huai!"

Xu Yuan suppressed a smile: "Which one is Miss Su referring to?"

Of course it was the one where she was sitting in the courtyard, lying on the wall, stepping on the eaves, grabbing the tender spring leaves, sighing, filled with righteous indignation, full of interest, beaming with joy...

"Have you heard what they said?" Su Ya changed the subject, "Did the Governor of Cao catch something against Hu Xing? How does this matter have anything to do with Xie Youlin, who is taking the exam for the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

After returning from the tidal flat adventure, Shen Huai agreed to Su Ya's request and kept the relevant information about the bombing and assassination from her. Later, when Shen Huai asked Xu Yuan Gaojun to search for people with scars on their arms, he also had instructions: Unless he specifically told her , otherwise there is no need to hide these things from Su Ya in the future.

Xu Yuan now regarded Su Ya as half his master. When she asked about it, he simply said: "Hu Xing and Cao Kaihe have been colluding for a long time, but he and Cao Kaihe also have their own plans, at least through water transportation Cao Kaihe doesn't know much about the smuggling into Beijing."

Seeing Su Ya frowning and thinking, he added: "Last month, the head of the criminal yamen opened, and the governor transferred Hu Xing away because of this."

Su Ya suddenly realized, "No wonder! So Governor Cao took advantage of the opportunity when the court sent people to investigate the case and test his merits, and planned to poach Hu Xing as well!"

She couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "High, really high!"

Xu Yuan lowered his eyelids and wondered what he was thinking of. He said with a sense of ridicule: "In the officialdom, there are always scheming people. How can there be people who are idle? Qiu Naicheng can hold the post of governor for three years, which is certainly not ordinary. figure."

Su Ya had been touring the city of Huai'an at night for a long time, and she was convinced of this. She sighed: "Hu Xing is full of intentions and thinks he is hiding deep enough. How could he know that he is seeking the skin of a tiger?"

Speaking of this, Su Ya suddenly had a thought and thought to herself: If Qiu Nianyun was half as scheming as her father, there is no guarantee that Shen Huai would be snatched away.

As soon as this thought came out, alarm bells rang in her heart: speaking of it, it was really not easy for Shen Huai to fall into her hands. If he hadn't thrown himself into his arms, she might not have been able to get such a big deal with her own ability. benefit.

Thinking of the various scenes in the dream, Su Ya's sense of crisis arose spontaneously——

No, you have to go and inspect the goods. At least you have to know what kind of home he wants, right?

Thinking that she would do it, Su Ya immediately walked to Shen Huai's room: "I'll go see him."

Xu Yuan blinked his eyes and remained silent. Even after Su Ya pushed the door open and entered, he dragged Gao Jun out, who was stunned outside.

Gao Jun watched Su Ya bypass the blue gauze cabinet and enter the inner room, and watched Xu Yuan gently pull the door from the outside. He asked dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what are you dragging me to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense and come out and clean up with me."

"Doesn't that mean we have to clean up in the house?"

"Do you want to disturb the master's good sleep?" Xu Yuan patted Gao Jun on the back, "First practice a set of mental techniques. The meridians will become more active and you can do things more efficiently!"

"But if Su Ya goes in," Gao Jun said blankly, "won't she disturb the master's good sleep?"

"Idiot! What an idiot!" Xu Yuan looked at Gao Jun and sighed, "The strange master likes me more."

"Xu Yuan, please speak clearly -" Gao Jun jumped up and protested: "When did the master like you more?"

"Shh!" Xu Yuan covered Gao Jun's mouth and dragged him neatly into the yard.

You know, I don’t have a constitution that can’t set a flag.
