Chapter 217: Jiangnan Supervision Envoy
Fang Yiai entered the house, then sat on the chair and drank water, Li Chengqian didn't understand what was going on with Fang Yiai for a long time, and he looked for him to transfer people in the middle of the night, but nothing happened. Li Chengqian frowned, sat on another chair and opened his mouth to ask, "Fang Jun, didn't you say that you were going to act secretly, why did you come here again?" ”
"Brother Prince, I don't think I need to hide anymore, I've already been recognized!" After speaking, he recounted the matter of the one million gambling money, and after listening to Fang Yiai's narration, Li Chengqian didn't understand what was wrong, he held the teacup and said with some pity, "Fang Jun, can't you really remember when the identity was leaked?" ”
"I've thought of it, but I'm not sure yet!" The only thing Fang Yiai could think of was Qu County, because he was doing well in Suzhou City, and after returning from Qu County, the situation was different. Fang Yiai touched his forehead and asked a little depressedly, "Brother Prince, if I don't have identity cover, how can I investigate the affairs of Jiangnan?" ”
"Hehe, I've been ready for you a long time ago!" Saying that, Li Chengqian took out a scroll from the brocade box, Fang Yiai looked at the scroll, and couldn't help muttering, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to still have a holy decree hidden in his hand, Li Chengqian squinted at Fang Yiai and smiled flatly, "Look at it yourself!" ”
"Huh?" Fang Yiai rolled his eyes, his heart was indeed very comfortable, if Li Chengqian asked him to do a big gift or something, it would be so awkward. Fang Yiai took the holy decree and looked at it, this holy decree is very simple, it is estimated that Li Shimin also knows what kind of temper Fang Yiai has, so he didn't even waste a little ink, after reading the holy decree, Fang Yiai made trouble and raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Brother Prince, how many officials is this Jiangnan Provincial Supervision Envoy?" ”
"Eight pins!"
"What? Eight pins? I said Brother Prince, are you not mistaken, just give me an old eight-grade official? "Fang Yiai is very speechless, no matter how you say that you are a fourth-grade general, why did you give an eight-rank inspector?
"What? Suspicious of small officials? I said Fang Jun, do you know what this envoy is for? Li Chengqian didn't have any thoughts about his quasi-brother-in-law, he had to explain, "Fang Jun, can you take a good look, it's the Jiangnan Provincial Supervision Envoy who gives you the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and has the right to cut first and then play, what else are you dissatisfied with?" ”
"Wouldn't that be the same as owning a Shang Fang sword?" Fang Yiai only now understands what a cow is, the official rank is all floating clouds, and the power is the most important, no wonder the eight governors of later generations are so powerful, and the dare is also a tiger with sheepskin.
"Fang Jun, you said you, why did Changle fall in love with you?"
"Brother Prince, don't look down on people, Fang is still very strong in other aspects!" Fang Yiai didn't care about Li Chengqian's sarcasm, he chatted with Li Chengqian for a while before he cheered up and asked, "Brother Prince, has Li Mu come to look for you?" ”
"Li Mu? No, I haven't seen him since I came to Suzhou, hasn't he been with you all the time, why did you ask about me? Li Chengqian felt very inexplicable.
"Haven't been?" Now Fang Yiai feels that something is wrong, according to the normal situation, Li Mu should have done the matter, even if there is an accident, he should send someone to send a message back, but until now Fang Yiai has not received news from Li Mu, and it is because of this that he will ask so.
"Fang Jun, what's going on? Li Mu didn't follow you? Li Chengqian saw that Fang Yiai's face was abnormal, and it didn't look like a joke, so he couldn't help but mention it.
"Brother Prince, it seems that something has happened, Li Mu should be in trouble!" Fang Yiai can't think of any other reason, Li Mu's person has always been very steady, if he hasn't leaked the news until now, it must be in big trouble.
"Fang Jun, do you want me to send an order to the Suzhou Governor's Mansion and ask them to help find Li Mu's whereabouts?"
"No, Brother Prince, the matter of looking for Li Mu can only come secretly. Think about it, if Li Mu is alive, why didn't he come to see us? ”
"Are you saying that Li Mu doesn't want to reveal his whereabouts?" Li Chengqian's heart couldn't help but sink when he said this, he knew what it meant. Li Chengqian's heart was angry, because he didn't expect the officials in Jiangnan to be so arrogant that they didn't even pay attention to him, the prince, "These people are really bold!" ”
"Brother Prince, bear with me, we should be able to think of the situation today when we come to Jiangnan, if I guess correctly, it will not rain hundreds of people around your palace, you said that if you were Li Mu, what would you do?"
"If it were me, I'd hide it first, and then wait for the opportunity!"
"Brother Prince, if Li Mu is in trouble, it proves that Jiangnan officialdom has begun to operate, so we must find out Song Boxuan's case as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Fang Yiai felt that his head was as big as a fight now, so many things had happened, but he couldn't connect all the things together, and he always felt that there was a link missing in the middle.
"It's so easy to say, now that your identity has been exposed, it's impossible to investigate secretly!" Li Chengqian originally hoped that Fang Yiai's side could make some progress, but who would have thought that his identity would be recognized.
"So now I can only come openly, Brother Prince, whether I can check it or not, it's up to you!"
Li Chengqian's brows furrowed tightly, he nodded and said, "You are worried that those officials in Suzhou will make you stumble, don't worry, I will solve this problem for you." ”
Fang Yiai also nodded with satisfaction, he thought for a while and continued, "Brother Prince, this prince inspects Jiangnan, and the officials in Jiangnan should come to visit according to the rules, right?" ”
"Fang Jun, do you want me to help you drag the officials in Jiangnan?" After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengqian somewhat understood what Fang Yiai wanted to do, and he smiled a little bitterly, "Fang Jun, I can only fight for you for half a month at most, and if it is longer, I am not sure!" ””
"Brother Prince, do your best!" After discussing some things, it was also past the end of the day, and at this time, there was also a trace of sleepiness on Fang Yiai's body, he yawned and said, "Brother Prince, just do what we discussed, I'll go back and rest first!" ”
"Okay, aren't you resting here?" Li Chengqian stood up and asked.
"Forget it, I'd better go back, living in your palace always feels like staying in a cage!"
Li Chengqian was very annoyed in his heart, how did this Fang Jun speak, if this palace was a cage, wouldn't he Li Chengqian become an animal in a cage?
"Fang Jun, pay attention to yourself, how did the woman you rescued in Qu County arrange?"
Hearing Li Chengqian's question, Fang Yi's love became uncomfortable, he turned around and frowned and said, "Brother Prince, are you a little lenient?" ”
"Fang Jun, don't be long-winded with me, in short, before you and Changle get married, don't make anything wrong, I hope you can understand that my father won't let Changle suffer the slightest grievance!" Li Chengqian didn't want to say this, because he felt that it would really affect his relationship with Fang Yiai on this kind of issue, but this time he had to say what kind of person Tian Menghan was, if it sounded good, she was a woman, and if it was ugly, she was a 'criminal girl' with no identity.
"Brother Prince, thank you for your kindness, I know what to do!" Fang Yiai turned around and waved his hand and walked out of the room, he had a lot of things in his heart, he had to admit that what Li Chengqian said was right, in this Tang Dynasty, identity will always be an uncrossable ravine, no matter how strong you are, no matter how unconventional you are, you can't escape this shackle. But what can he do if he leaves his love, does he tell Tian Menghan that there is no future? Hehe, thinking about Tian Menghan's surname, Fang Yiai vetoed this idea, he didn't want to stage a Tang version of the Legend of the White-haired Witch.
When he returned to the house, the lights in the backyard were still on, Fang Yiai looked at the candlelight in the house and shook his head with a wry smile, and after he said hello to Cheng Ling'er, he pushed open his door. At this time, Tian Menghan was sitting on the couch chatting with Begonia about something, Fang Yiai coughed and asked with a smile, "You two are so late, why don't you sleep?" ”
"Second son, you're back, what's wrong?" As soon as Haitang saw Fang Yiai, her mood relaxed, she didn't care too much about whether the matter was resolved, as long as the second son didn't have an accident.
"Hehe, it's not a big deal, Haitang, you go and rest first, Ming said that I will have to leave Suzhou!"
"Second son, are you in such a hurry, you just came to Suzhou and are leaving?"
"Well, who wants to?" Fang Yiai shrugged helplessly, there were some things he didn't want to say too clearly, for Begonia, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. Just like Song Boxuan, if he really didn't know anything, he wouldn't have died.
"Well, the son of a maid stepped back first!" Haitang said and glanced at Fang Yiai, and gently exited the room, and did not forget to close the door for Fang Yiai when she left.
Tian Menghan looked at Fang Yiai's eyes, she always felt that Fang Yiai seemed to have something to hide from her, she hesitated for a moment or frowned and asked, "Fang Jun, do you have something to say?" ”
"Huh? Where? I'm just worried about the tax money! He smiled and covered the quilt for Tian Meng, stood up and said, "Menghan, don't think about it, let's go to bed first, it's not too early, I'll go find a place to rest!" Tian Menghan wanted to shout about the house love, but before the words came out, the house love had already slipped out of the room.
Second, when the Suzhou officials came to the palace, Li Chengqian took the opportunity to read out the holy decree, and Fang Yiai stood up openly and became the supervisor of Jiangnan Province.
