Chapter fifty-six each has a ghost

Liu Wenqing carefully raised his eyelids and looked at Lu Shiqing who was sitting on the top of the head. He thought for a moment and said, "I think Lord Lu looks bad. Is Lord Lu worried about how to resettle the group of refugees outside the city?"

Lu Shiqing was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Liu Wenqing could guess his thoughts without hesitation!

Yes, he has been thinking about how to resettle that group of refugees these days. Although with the help of Liu Wenqing, he has chosen an open space outside the city and built a simple wooden house to temporarily resettle them, this is not a long-term solution.

With such a huge number of refugees, the best way to resettle them is to return to their hometowns and rely on themselves. This requires a lot of money to help the victims rebuild their homes.

But the people in the Ministry of Revenue were all from the second prince, and the disaster relief funds he applied for were delayed and delayed. He is now in Yunan, and Wei Tianming is ill and bedridden, and no one in Kyoto will help him report to the emperor.

Although he knew that he would not dare to deduct the funds from the Ministry of Revenue for a hundred courageous reasons, they could still do it in the name of taking the procedure.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, even if the relief funds can be distributed on time, the time is very tight for them, let alone being dragged for a while. Not to mention that he is in a hurry to return to Beijing and can't afford to wait, even these refugees can't afford to wait.

Although the 100,000 taels of silver donated by Liu Wenqing can last for a while, it is a drop in the bucket. Some time ago, I spent a lot of money just by buying medicines. He conservatively estimated that the money could last at most five days. Although other merchants and gentry donated some money at his call, not everyone was as generous as Liu Wenqing, and they could only hold on for two more days if they had done everything they wanted.

Then what should I do in seven days?

By then, not only will the refugees outside the city not be well resettled, but the people in the affected areas will not be guaranteed. If the handling is not done well, the only one who will be convicted will be the cheap imperial envoy who came to Yunan to provide disaster relief.

This is what the second prince plans!

Could it be that he volunteered to come to Yu Nan to break the second prince's plan and made him jealous? If this is true, the second prince is indeed a veritable idiot!

Lu Shiqing held the lid on the teacup in his hand and turned it gently, making a few jingles of porcelain colliding. He lowered his eyes and smiled as if he was careless, "Boss Liu can guess my worries, but I wonder if there is a way to help me solve the problem?"

Liu Wenqing thoughts flashed through his mind. He came here today because he had received the master's order to deliberately reveal flaws to make Lu Shiqing suspect him, so that Lu Shiqing could follow the clues to find out the matter in Heihe Town.

Since this is the case, he will certainly not do extra things to alleviate Lu Shiqing's suspicion of him. So even if he knows that the supplies raised by his master in Jiangbei will be delivered to Lu Shiqing in less than five or six days, he will not leak the matter.

I should do what I should do.

Liu Wenqing looked at Lu Shiqing with regret and replied apologetically: "Master Lu, Caomin is naturally willing to share your worries, not to mention that these victims are all Caomin's hometown people. But he also knows that Caomin has limited abilities and really cannot help. I hope he will forgive me!"

Lu Shiqing's slender eyes flashed with cold light. He looked at Liu Wenqing deeply and said with regret: "I originally thought that Boss Liu has great magical powers and can help me. It seems that I am making things difficult for Boss Liu."

Liu Wenqing pretended to be stupid, "What are you talking about? How can the grass people bear the four words "the supernatural powers"? Adults respect villains too much."

Lu Shiqing looked at Liu Wenqing who was very abnormal today and felt extremely disappointed.

But Lu Shiqing was young and could get the eyes of the emperor and become a close minister of the emperor. Naturally, it was not comparable to those officials with a fat heart.

He suppressed the feeling of being betrayed in his heart, looked at Liu Wenqing gently and politely, and said heart-warming words, "Boss Liu, no matter what you said, Lu sees what you did for Lu and Yu Nan these days. Boss Liu is generous and generous, and Lu admires Boss Liu very much. No matter what, Lu hopes to make a friend like Boss Liu."

Liu Wenqing's eyelids twitched, thinking that the imperial envoy did not need to claim to be "the official" and wanted to make him a friend as Lu Shiqing. Is this the imperial envoy going to give him another chance to surrender?

To be honest, he has a bit of a favorable impression of this young and promising imperial envoy, but it's a pity...

"Mr. Lu was kidding. How could Caomin make friends with Lord Lu? Aren't you a traitor Caomin?"

When Lu Shiqing heard that Liu Wenqing refused him, he was completely disappointed. Liu Wenqing was not bad. He planned to give him another chance, but it was a pity that he didn't cherish it...

"That's a pity! I originally intended to make friends with you. Since Boss Liu doesn't want to, I won't force you!"

When Liu Wenqing heard this, he was about to make a polite explanation when he saw Lu Shiqing picking up the tea cup beside him and holding it up at Liu Wenqing, "Now the Japanese official will thank Boss Liu for his kindness in the past few days with tea instead of wine. Boss Liu, please." After that, he took a sip of tea.

When Liu Wenqing saw that Lu Shiqing was drawing a clear line with him, he felt relieved. The task assigned by his master was finally completed.

So he also picked up the teacup in fear and fear, raised it at Lu Shiqing, and drank a cup of tea together.

After the two of them had a sense of ritual after drinking tea inexplicably, Lu Shiqing said gently and elegantly: "Since Boss Liu is about to leave Yu Nan soon, I will ask County Magistrate Sun to order a banquet for me in Tianxianglou, and I will regard it as my official as I have practiced it for Boss Liu. I hope that Boss Liu will be able to appreciate his face in three days... as promised." Although he was a serious invitation to dinner, his tone was slight threatening.

But Liu Wenqing ignored the threat in Lu Shiqing's tone. He just lowered his eyes and was puzzled. Two days? Why did Lu Shiqing only leave him for three days?

Last night, he received a letter from his master from Jiangbei. In the letter, he only asked him to do one thing and say goodbye to Lu Shiqing as soon as possible, and made Lu Shiqing guess that he left because something happened to his business in Xunyang City.

When he first received the letter, he was puzzled and did not understand why his master gave such an order.

Until early this morning, the friend from Xunyang City heard news that a small accident occurred two days ago when Liu Xuting, a mine dug by Heihe Town, had been secretly injured. Although the two miners suffered some minor injuries, they had been covered by Liu Xuting.

Only then did he realize that the letter passed by his master was the next plan. The master wanted him to arouse Lu Shiqing's suspicion and let Lu Shiqing find Liu Xuting from him.

Judging from Lu Shiqing's attitude just now, Lu Shiqing was 100% suspicious of him.

But he was still puzzled. Judging from what he had done in Yu Nan these days, he thought Lu Shiqing should have some trust in him, and he could tell from Lu Shiqing's expression as soon as he entered the door.

But why did Lu Shiqing change his attitude towards him and doubt him just after he was anxious to return to Xunyang City?

Another three days. Logically speaking, if Lu Shiqing really suspects that he is, he should try every means to keep him in Yu Nan, but Lu Shiqing only forced him to stay here for two days.

It will take at least five days for Yunan County City to leave Xunyang City. Could it be that Lu Shiqing is not planning to check his details at all?

Only then did Liu Wenqing realize that he might not have really seen through this young imperial envoy who was in a high position.

However, even though he had too many questions, for example, he still didn't understand why his master in Jiangbei would interfere with Liu Xuting, who was digging an iron ore in Heihe Town, and he also tried his best to plan for it. But he understood that he was just a manager and it was enough to obey his master's orders to do his part.

He can't care about other things, nor should he care about them. Suspicion has always been a taboo. He has no extra life to violate the taboo of the master who is far away in Jiangbei.

Liu Wenqing figured out these things, so he stood up and folded his fists to Lu Shiqing and thanked him: "Since Lord Lu invited me warmly, how can the grass people refuse? In three days, the grass people will definitely come as promised. Please rest assured."

When Lu Shiqing heard this, his expression froze. He didn't expect Liu Wenqing to agree so simply, "It would be better for Boss Liu to agree."

After that, the two of them made another polite concession, and Liu Wenqing stood up and said goodbye and left.

After Liu Wenqing left, Lu Shiqing sat quietly in the seat for a long time, with a lonely expression. After a long time, Lu Shiqing shouted outside the house: "Zuo Quan!"

A moment later, a man with an officer-soldier looked like an officer and soldier walked into the house. When he walked to Lu Shiqing, he realized that it was the officer-soldier who came to Yunan County City with Lu Shiqing.

Zuo Quan saluted Lu Shiqing and asked, "I wonder what Minister Lu's orders?"

Lu Shiqing didn't beat around the bush, "The people sent to Xunyang City to investigate the news have returned to Yunan in the past two days?"

Zuo Quan was originally the secret son of the Seventh Prince in Kyoto. This time he came to Yu Nan to protect Lu Shiqing under the secret order of the Seventh Prince. Lu Shiqing secretly sent to Xunyang City to investigate the news. The Seventh Prince secretly sent to Yu Nan to investigate the situation before being injured. Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince was suddenly assassinated and injured, and these people were used by Lu Shiqing.

"Returning to Mr. Lu, Xunyang City is only four or five days away from Yu Nan's fast horse whip. They set out from Xunyang City three days ago and they should be here in the past two days."

"Well, but I'm still not relieved. You can arrange someone to welcome him on the way, and make sure they arrive at Yunan County City safely."

"Yes, the villain knows!"

Lu Shiqing waved his hand and asked Zuo Quan to retreat.

Only Lu Shiqing was left in the room. He swept over Liu Wenqing and drank the remaining teacup, his eyes shining coldly.

Everything will be clear in two days!
