When Bian Yuanheng saw the yamen officer retreating due to difficulties, he knew that the upper-level officials in Wu County were not all the same, otherwise the yamen officer would not be afraid.
Thinking of this, I felt very comfortable. I came to the terrace on the second floor of the building, pressed my hand on the fence, and felt the evening breeze blowing in my face.
Brothers Ru Tong and Zhi Hai suddenly came to the platform. Ru Tong silently walked aside and looked at the river in trance.
Zhihai walked towards Bian Yuanheng.
"Brother, what do you call me?" he asked.
"I'm Bian Yuanheng."
Zhihai nodded, stood side by side with him, looked up at the river, and cursed with a smile: "It was so enjoyable just now, even more enjoyable than beating up that kid Lu Wanwan. Brother Bian, how do you know that the government officer won't arrest you?"<
/p>
Bian Yuanheng said slowly: "Some time ago, His Royal Highness the King of Chu held the imperial examination in Jiangdu. The current magistrate of Wu County is the second place in the imperial examination, Lu Yiming!"
Monk Zhihai was surprised and said: "So you know the county magistrate, so you are not afraid of the yamen servant?"
Bian Yuanheng smiled and said: "I only know him, but I don't know him. I have been staying in Wujiang Prefecture a while ago, and I know a little about the situation in the counties on Pingjiang Road. The Lu County Magistrate has managed Wu County well, so I believe
Him!"
Monk Zhihai said: "So that's it. Alas, it would be great if Jiangdu's army captured Hangzhou earlier!"
Bian Yuanheng glanced at him and said: "Master went to Jiangdu to join the army?"
Monk Zhihai laughed and said: "The Sa family is no longer interested in joining the army. It's more comfortable to be a monk. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore and let's go."
He waved his hand and left the terrace without looking for his senior brother.
Not long after the monk left, Cao Miaoqing's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"General Bian, can I have a few words with you?"
Bian Yuanheng turned around and said with a smile: "What's wrong with this?"
Cao Miaoqing's cheeks were slightly red, and she walked slowly to his side, but after a while, she didn't speak.
There are many people enjoying the breeze on the terrace. After Cao Miaoqing arrived, everyone looked over.
When everyone saw Cao Miaoqing and Bian Yuanheng standing side by side, their hearts were filled with surprise and envy.
Cao Miaoqing is a famous iceberg. When she was in Hangzhou, she always treated the wealthy and aristocratic people who came to visit her without any pretense, and even declared that she would never marry.
Now he is standing with Bian Yuanheng, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
The slight affection I had for Bian Yuanheng suddenly disappeared, and they all left the terrace.
There was a strong evening breeze, and Cao Miaoqing's hair on her temples fluttered in the wind.
She stretched out her hand to hold her hair, looking at the red sun that was about to set below the horizon, and suddenly whispered: "The city is full of sunset, why do you want to wear clothes?"
Bian Yuanheng was slightly stunned. This was a poem about separation. Cao Miaoqing seemed to be sad about the upcoming separation.
He was silent for a long time, then slowly chanted the next sentence.
"It's dusk when visitors migrate to Pengsong, and the road for tourists is long."
Cao Miaoqing turned to him and smiled.
Bian Yuanheng suddenly said: "I heard someone say that the girl once made a vow."
Cao Miaoqing pursed her lips slightly, but did not answer. Instead, she asked: "General, does he know who my daughter admires the most?"
If it were yesterday, Bian Yuanheng really wouldn't know. Fortunately, Bian Wenjun mentioned it this morning and said, "Is it Mrs. Zheng Yunduan?"
A bright light flashed in Cao Miaoqing's eyes.
"General, have you ever heard of Mrs. Zheng's story?"
Bian Yuanheng mused: "I have read the poems she wrote. She believes that women should not ruin their life's happiness for the sake of temporary glory and wealth!"
Cao Miaoqing nodded and said, "Does the general know who Mrs. Zheng's poem is written for?"
Bian Yuanheng was stunned and said: "I've never heard of that."
"She wrote this poem for her father. In fact, her father initially wanted to marry the Sun family, the first family in Wu County, but she didn't want to, so she wrote that poem!"
Bian Yuanheng was startled: "Is there such a thing?"
Cao Miao said quietly: "However, the young master of the Sun family refused to marry her, and also used the power of the family to force the Zheng family. In the end, Miss Zheng forced her to die, and finally forced the young master Sun to let go."
Bian Yuanheng sighed: "What a strong woman!"
Cao Miaoqing said: "The son of the Sun family is also a man of temperament. Because he could not bear the blow, he gave up his identity as the heir of the family and did not know where he went."
Bian Yuanheng sighed again: "I heard that a while ago, the descendants of the family resisted the division of land and secretly instigated the tenants to cause trouble, and the whole family was arrested. It is not a good thing that he left!"
Cao Miaoqing was stunned for a moment and said: "My little girl has often heard people talk about the division of land between your army and your army recently. People are saying that His Highness the King of Chu wants to take the world's land to himself so that he can exploit the people!"
Bian Yuanheng said coldly: "This is the intention of those big families to mislead everyone."
Cao Miaoqing smiled and said: "After seeing you, I guessed that things are not that simple. General, can you explain it to me?"
Bian Yuanheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty really wants to take all the land into public property. But at the same time, it is stipulated that every household can rent several acres of fertile land from the government for one penny for a period of one hundred years!"
Cao Miaoqing was stunned for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu can just allocate the fields to the common people. Why bother?"
"Your Majesty is thinking about the people. If they are distributed directly to the people, sooner or later these fields will be unable to be defended and will be annexed by big families! And if you rent them to them, no matter what methods those big families use, they will not be able to take away their fields!" p>
Cao Miaoqing was stunned for a long time and said softly: "This incident alone is enough to show that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a benevolent king!"
Bian Yuanheng smiled and said: "When I first met him, he was still a military advisor in a small village. However, now that he has become the leader of one of the three major rebel armies in the world, he has not changed much from before."
Cao Miaoqing asked curiously: "General, does he mean that he has not forgotten his original intention?"
Bian Yuanheng said: "Yes, from the time I met him, he had only one goal - to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty! Until now, he is still working hard for this goal!"
Cao Miaoqing said leisurely: "Perhaps only such a person can lead us to drive away the Mongols!"
Bian Yuanheng glanced at her and suddenly said: "You just said that Mrs. Zheng withstood the pressure of the Sun family and her parents. How is she now?"
Cao Miaoqing said: "She married the son of the Xue family whom she liked. The couple are very loving and respectful to each other. I don't know how many women are envious of her!"
Bian Yuanheng stared at her: "Do you also envy her?"
Cao Miaoqing lowered her head slightly: "Yes, Miaoqing admired her courage to pursue happiness, so she told others that she would never marry in order to find a good man!"
Hearing this, Bian Yuanheng still couldn't understand her thoughts. Just when he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a long sigh.
I saw Monk Rutong on the other side of the terrace turning around and leaving the terrace.
Bian Yuanheng and Cao Miaoqing were both stunned, and then they remembered that there was another person on the terrace.
The two looked at each other, as if they were holding back laughter, and then let out a "chi" sound. Cao Miaoqing laughed first, and Bian Yuanheng also laughed.
Cao Miaoqing smiled and said: "We must have disturbed Master Rutong from enjoying the scenery!"
Bian Yuanheng said: "It's not convenient to talk here. Do you want to go to my room to talk?"
Cao Miaoqing's eyes flashed, and she said: "It's better to go to my room... okay?"
How could Bian Yuanheng not agree?
After returning to his room, Bian Yuanheng couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of life.
Before yesterday, he had never even seen Cao Miaoqing, but just one day later, her figure was all in his mind.
Early the next morning, the passenger ship finally continued slowly towards Jiangdu.
Five days later, the passenger ship arrived in Zhenjiang, and another day later, it finally arrived in Jiangdu City.
