I Became the Heroine of Abusive Novel and Her Elder Brother - Chapter 96

    Unknown to Jun Huailang, the urgent letter from the East Factory had already been delivered to Xue Yan’s table yesterday.

    The letter said that the Qing Ping Emperor had received the memorial that Yongning Gong reported to Beijing, and he had begun to call all ministers to discuss matters.

    Jinling was hit by the disaster, so money, grain and supplies were naturally sent. This is understandable and need not be discussed. And what the Qing Ping Emperor summoned the ministers to discuss was which official to send as the official in charge of the disaster to **** the supplies south.

    Although Yongning Gong has a high status and outstanding ability, even if he is appointed on the spot, there is nothing wrong.

      , but it got bigger.

    But if he was given a high official and rich salary, who knows if people’s hearts would change? He is a descendant of meritorious deeds. If he wins again, if he cultivates his own power and develops dissent, he will be much harder to deal with than those officials who have no foundation.

    In order not to cause this trouble for himself, Emperor Qingping summoned all the ministers as if he did not know that Duke Yongning was in Jinling, and discussed the arrangement of the officials responsible for disaster relief in the south.

      people.

    Everyone tacitly kept silent about the matter of Duke Yongning in Jinling, discussed it for a long time, and elected a young official who has only risen to prominence in the court in the past few years.

    As expected, it is from the Xu family.

    The disaster relief team will start from Chang’an, go west all the way, enter Shandong, board the boat from the Yellow River, and transport food and grass to Jinling along the canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

    The waterway is smooth, the walk is fast, and there is no need to pass through various cities, states and counties, so it can save a lot of trouble, and it is difficult to do some secret activities.

    So, Xue Yan knew as soon as he thought about it that if they wanted to do anything with the supplies, they would definitely be before the waterway.

    The most convenient place is in Shandong where the cargo is unloaded and loaded.

    The task of their trip is urgent. When loading and unloading food and grass, it is easy to be in a hurry, and it is best to do it. In addition, the newly appointed prefect of Shandong belongs to the Xu family. After they transfer the money and grain greedy for ink, they can immediately deposit it in the treasury of Shandong, and then hand over the rest to Guo Rongwen. Sleep.

    Those grain and silver can also be lost in the process of transportation. When Jinling asks for money and grain, they have thousands of ways to put the blame on Yongning Gong and Shen Zhifu. .

    Xue Yan sat beside Jun Huailang, looked at his sleeping appearance, and pondered for a moment.

    He knew that for the trivial things that these people did, they had to keep evidence and wait for the opportunity. However, if they take the risk and do such a life-and-death matter… they need to arrest and convict on the spot.

    After all, silver and grain do not have names written on them. If they waited until they sent the money and grain from the greedy ink into the Shandong government treasury and mixed it with the original inventory in Shandong, even if they wanted evidence, it would be difficult to find.

    What’s more, their move is to push Yongning Gong into a desperate situation. If he still does not move at this time, and the money and grain cannot be sent to Jinling, then he will be puzzled, and Jinling will be in great trouble.

    From the very beginning, they destroyed dykes, killed scholars, and now seized money and grain.

    Now, those who come to Jiangnan have changed from Jiang family officials to Yongning Gong, so their arrangements are to kill Yong Ning Gong.

    Xue Yan could not let these plans succeed.

    Therefore, after receiving the imperial decree, he needs to leave immediately, go to Shandong to receive him, and personally **** back the money allocated by Chang’an.

    In this way, let’s say ten days, he is not in Jinling.

    Although there is Jun Huailang’s father and a large number of officials in Jinling City, Xue Yan is still worried.

    It was a clear night with a bright moon hanging in the sky. Xue Yan raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and thought.

    In addition to the troops that need to rush into Shandong, he can also set aside some Jinyiwei to stay in Jinling to protect Jun Huailang’s safety. Duan Shishi also wants to stay, it is enough for Shandong to have oneself, there is nothing that Duan Shishi must do…

    As for Jinbao, he would be appropriate on weekdays, or he would stay and watch Jun Huailang’s three meals a day and take a nap…

    At this moment, Xue Yan felt a slight movement on his shoulders.

    He lowered his head, saw Jun Huailang raise his hand, and rubbed his eyes.

    “…How come I fell asleep.” Jun Huailang’s voice was a little hoarse, with the softness of not waking up, with his cold voice, it sounded tight .

    He lowered his head and said, “Awake?”

    Jun Huailang sat up, yawned, and barely woke up.

    “Maybe I’ve been busy for too long in the afternoon.” He said, and was about to stand up and look under the dam. “How? Can the finishing touches for today be done?”

    Even though the project of managing the river and repairing the embankment is carried out step by step according to his arrangement, there will always be some mistakes in the process. Therefore, Jun Huailang stayed here every day, always watching the progress and situation. If there was a problem, he had to rush to solve it immediately.

    Seeing that as soon as he opened his eyes, he went to take care of the repair of the embankment again, Xue Yan was a little unhappy, raised his hand and dragged him back when he was half up.

    “I saw it for you,” he said. “It has been repaired, and the work has been completed, and it will be back soon.”

    Jun Huailang responded, no doubt he was there, and sat back in peace.

    He looked up at the moon in the sky, and couldn’t help but chuckle in a low voice: “It’s hard work for you, too, spend so much time here with me every day.”

    Xue Yan turned his eyes away coldly.

    “I’m happy, it’s not hard at all.” He muttered softly.

    The surroundings were quiet and there was no wind, only the lights on the construction site beside the dam were shining.

    These words easily fell into Jun Huailang’s ears.

    The child was so angry that Jun Huailang wanted to laugh subconsciously. But when he looked at Xue Yan, the smile was still on his face, but he couldn’t turn his eyes away.

    The man sat quietly beside him, not much to say, but the scent of sandalwood lingered around him.

    Jun Huailang watched him quietly for a while.

    However, he never thought that such a person would quietly stay by his side during these most difficult times.

    Fate is too magical.

    Xue Yan was staring at the lights under the dam in deep thought, feeling Jun Huailang’s gaze, he turned his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

    Jun Huailong paused, then shook his head.

    Xue Yan looked at him and said, “I’m leaving for a few days.”

    Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Where are you going?”

    Xue Yan said: “Beijing has dispatched relief materials, Xu Xiang will do it, I have to go personally.”

    Jun Huailang took a moment to understand everything.

    “You mean, they will detain the supplies elsewhere?” Jun Huailang frowned. “The amount of money and grain is fixed in the imperial edict. How can they have such courage?”

    So, in the previous life, his father did not know where the money was hidden until after his death. It turned out to be because, long before the money and food, he was greedy by others, and he put it away. The trumped-up charges were placed on his father.

    Xue Yan said: “It’s really daring. However, the Xu family and the Jiang family have been fighting for too long, and Duke Yongning has touched their interests, so they made this dangerous move.”

     Jun Huailang pondered for a moment when he heard this.

    After a while, he looked up at the sky and laughed at himself.

    “Yes,” he said. “If their actions are not discovered by you, it is indeed a risky, but extremely well-planned plan.”

    After all, from Chang’an to Jinling, they were all their people. They have the ability to cover the sky with one hand. Even if they take precautions in advance, how can they resist it?

    He lived a new life. For more than a year, he has been cautious, trying to find clues from his father. However, there was a big net that shrouded them in early, even if the founding fathers with empty names had no power in their hands, what ability would they have to contend with.

    On the contrary, Xue Yan… Without Xue Yan, Jun Huailang could hardly imagine what consequences they would face in this life.

    Hearing Jun Huailang’s words, Xue Yan frowned involuntarily.

    He could hear that Jun Huailang’s tone was not right, and seeing his expression at the moment made him a little flustered.

    Let him involuntarily want to hug him and put him in his arms.

    After a while, he met Jun Huailang’s gaze.

    “…Xue Yan.” He said suddenly.

    Xue Yan responded quickly: “Huh?”

    Jun Huailang opened his mouth, but said nothing.

    He never knew that people can really accumulate so many feelings in one person.

    Old hatred, love, and kindness, the heaviest feelings he has now are all on Xue Yan alone.

    There will be no second Xue Yan in the world. He wanted to run and hide, but he couldn’t move at all, couldn’t walk away.

    His heart went against reason and conscience, pulling him and dragging him to Xue Yan’s side.

    Jun Huailang was speechless, but Xue Yan was a little panicked.

    “Don’t think about it,” he said. “I’ve arranged everything, you just wait for news in Jinling. Didn’t I say it? You don’t have to do anything, just watch how those people died, that’s enough.”

    He turned to look at Jun Huailang.

    Immediately, he and Jun Huailang met with watery eyes.

    For a time, Xue Yan immediately understood the emotions in Jun Huailang’s eyes, as if he saw it in his heart at a glance.

    Xue Yan’s voice also stopped.

    Under the moonlight, the two looked at each other for a moment, but for a while, neither of them spoke.

    After a long time, just as Jun Huailang fled away, he wanted to stagger his eyes and get up to go first, Xue Yan raised his hand, gently and firmly pressed the back of his head, forcing him to turn back look.

    His tone was solemn and determined.

    “Jun Huailang, you know that I like you, and you are the only one in my heart. I wish I could give you my whole life, that’s enough.”

    “I’m not forcing you to respond to me, I’m always waiting for you,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”
