The wheels of the four-wheeled carriage ran over the grass that was growing on the official road, and touched the cracks on the rocks on the road, making a giggle, and the sound of reeds between the carriage pivots, as cheerful as singing.

The road to the inner warehouse was full of joy. The birds flew quickly in the forest beside the paddy fields in the distance. The green seedlings showed their slender and shy figures. The weeds beside the paddy fields looked at them disdainfully. The convoys were endless on the road, and cargo ships were coming and going on the river, transporting the production of the inner warehouse through various channels and selling them to the world. It was a lively scene.

A convoy was led by officers and soldiers, and passed the innermost inspection line easily. Originally, the trucks on the official road did not dare to compete with the convoy, and subconsciously stopped. However, someone in the carriage looked at it, as if he had found that the shipment volume of the inner warehouse was too large and the traffic was a bit busy, so he ordered the convoy of his pedestrians to park on a grassy field on the side of the road, which was surprisingly letting the trucks go first.

Among the second-last carriage in the convoy, the black sash was just taken away yesterday. In addition to the official uniform, the poor officials of the inner treasury transport department were all the confidants of the eldest princess who were stationed in the inner treasury. Although they had thought that Fan Tisi would have a hard time after taking office, they did not expect that Fan Xian would not leave face to the official and the mother-in-law, so they simply arrested them to the extreme, and in the name... it was a matter of a tide... These officials knew at this time that they had fallen into Fan Xian's condom and were panicked.

However, Fan Xian did not start the trial immediately. These officials had their own relatives and friends. They knew in prison last night that Fan Xian was going to take him to Suzhou and hand him over to the Governor of Jiangnan, Mr. Xue Qing and Xue, in person. As soon as they heard the news, these officials were in a little better mood. As long as they did not face the tiger bench and pepper water of the Supervision Bureau, how could this case be settled like this? Even if the Supervision Bureau has mastered the confessions of the treasurers, as long as he refused to accept it after he arrived in Suzhou, Lord Xue Qing and Xue would always give the eldest princess a little face. As long as the pressure in Kyoto was delayed, Fan Xian would not care about himself anymore.

"Why should I go to Xue Qing for review?" Haitang leaned halfway against the car window and frowned slightly.

Fan Xian lowered his head and said, "I'm not suitable for this."

Haitang nodded softly and did not continue to say anything. Since the day of the tide of work, the atmosphere between the two became a little weird. The trust of each other in the past seemed to have weakened a little, and they were treated politely, but there was a little more unfamiliarity. Haitang thought about it later and understood why, and knew that it was a bit difficult for Fan Xian to make a comeback that day, but seeing that Fan Xian was always so deliberate and light in the next few days, she couldn't take the initiative to explain. After all, no matter what, Haitang was as a saint of Northern Qi, and Fan Xian's pride also touched her pride.

So the two of them are currently maintaining such awkward conversation.

"I want to confirm again. Has the money arrived?" Fan Xian asked frowned.

Haitang had a faint smile on his face, as if he was mocking Fan Xian's anxiety and worries, and said softly: "I said it last time in Suzhou, why worry so much? Could it be that you can't trust me now?"

Fan Xian suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little depressed. He whispered to Sisi beside him, then lifted the curtain and got out of the car. Sisi turned her head slightly and looked at Haitang curiously. I wonder how this famous girl offended the young master. These days she could see clearly that although the young master had no sexual intercourse with this Haitang girl, she initially acted like a close friend who had been with her for many years, but she was a little strange these days.

Haitang was a little confused by Sisi's view, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"

Sisi said angrily: "Just look at me if you like it, but I will look at you if you like it?"

Haitang smiled and shook her head, habitually put her hands to her waist... but found that she had a blank look. She had been wearing maid's clothes these days, instead of the floral jacket she used to wearing, and there were not those two big pockets in front of her.

She looked at Sisi and teased, "I see you. I want to see what the woman Fan Xian likes looks like."

This is true. Haitang, the girl, has always been a little confused. Her friend Si Lili is the most beautiful woman in the world. Why can Fan Xian remain calm in front of Lili and deliberately maintain a distance? Even after that night, she had no concern for Lili. Now, for dozens of days in Jiangnan, Fan Xian has never asked herself, such as Lili's recent experience.

Even if he is a heartless person, he will not be so indifferent to the peerless beauty who has had a one-night relationship and a blessing in the same car. So Haitang even began to doubt whether Fan Xian had some hidden illness, such as his Majesty...

But Fan Xian took Sisi into the room. Haitang walked along the way and knew that Sisi's eldest maid was Fan Xian's roommate, so she was a little strange. But after looking at these days, she couldn't see what strange things Sisi had. She looked dignified and elegant, far less than Si Lili's gentle and plump style.

When Miss Haitang said "the woman Fan Xian liked", Sisi's face suddenly turned red, and she responded in a mosquito-sized voice: "Young Master... how can you like me?"

Haitang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How could he accept you into the room if he doesn't like you? Although Fan Xian is a cold-blooded and ruthless person, I don't believe he will act like this."

Sisi suddenly raised her face, showing her pride and confidence: "The girl made a mistake. The young master is the most affectionate person in the world."

"Love?" Haitang savored these two words. When she remembered Sisi, she seemed to have grown up with a local man who had been serving Fan Xian since she was a child. She frowned for a moment and hesitated in her heart. A young powerful minister like Fan Xian who was cold-blooded and ruthless and enjoyed calculating others was really... a person who valued love?

She sighed, and because there was no big pocket on her clothes, she had to put her hands up with regret and asked, "Miss Sisi, why did you stare at me before?"

In fact, Sisi was a little resistant to the girl Haitang who was always inseparable from the young master a few days ago. After all, the other party was not a young grandmother, and he was a hostile Northern Qi. But later, he had contacted more, just like many people who had come into contact with Haitang. Sisi also easily fell in love with this girl who was gentle, bright in character, straightforward and not rude. Haitang is a noble person, and although her face seems to be sparse and not talk much, she treats people very sincerely. No matter what kind of identity, she will treat people equally, and respect and equality from the bottom of her bones - for example, Sisi, who is still a big maid now - this alone is beyond the world.

At this time, listening to the question from Miss Haitang, Sisi couldn't help but cover her lips and smiled, saying, "I think about it just like the girl, I also want to see what the young master likes."

The carriage quieted down. Haitang opened his big bright eyes and looked at Sisi like a cute little animal. After a while, he put his hands on his sleeves and shrugged. He said, "Will the Hu people not kill people?"

The Western Hu and Northern Barbarians have harmed many Central Atomic people for hundreds of years. The name of viciousness spread throughout the world. Sisi replied firmly: "Impossible!"

Haitang blinked slowly and said with a smile: "The same reason."

The breeze blew across Fan Xian's face, telling him that it was spring now. He closed his eyes, faced the light wind rushing towards him, and smelled the breath of life in the wind, which was very comfortable. The green leaves on the woods on the other side of the paddy field in front of him were rustling by the wind. Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly and heard a rustling sound from behind.

It’s not the wind blowing the forest, it’s not the street sweeping, it’s not the dice, it’s not the pencil writing, it’s not the spring silkworms feeding the mulberry leaves.

It was she walking and the village girl walking.

Fan Xian did not open his eyes and said slowly: "Why is it impossible?"

"Huh?" Haitang walked to him calmly and expressed his doubts in one word. The light part looked very similar to the blind man who was expressing his doubts to Chen Pingping many years ago.

Fan Xian's lips curled slightly and said, "Why do you think I can't fall in love with you? According to the local news in the court, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi has begun to worry about your marriage."

Haitang put his hands in his sleeves, stood beside him and looked at the plowing ox in the paddy field ahead. He smiled slightly, knowing that he had heard all the conversation with Sisi in the car. He spoke, "It seems that your true energy has recovered well."

Fan Xian opened his eyes, stared at a bird that fell on the back of a plowing ox, and asked with a smile: "What I asked is... why can't I like you."

Haitang turned his head and looked at him. He found that he was asking this question very seriously, and he couldn't help but respond helplessly: "I always like such a erotic person, but I can't really take advantage of it."

Fan Xian was silent, thinking of the conversation with Qiye yesterday, after he was reborn, there were many things that he could only do but could not say, but with Haitang... he seemed to be able to say that he could not do it. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm just curious why you are so sure."

Haitang smiled and said, "In Shangjing City, you once said that any man, or male animal, thinks with his lower body... But I think to myself, there is no such appearance that triggers your thoughts. After all, my identity is different. You are afraid and cannot get any benefits. How could you like me?"

Haitang is the saint of Northern Qi, and Fan Xian is a powerful minister of Nanqing. The two can get along with each other as friends, but if they really want to make a couple, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi and Emperor Nanqing will definitely not allow such things to happen. On the contrary, the plan of the two will bring some damage. But Fan Xian was not thinking about this and said mockingly: "Like this kind of thing has nothing to do with interests. I found that in just half a year, your nature is much different from the past."

When Fan Xian was in Hangzhou, he seemed to have said this to Haitang.

Haitang was silent for a while and slowly spoke, "The Heavenly Dao emphasizes the response of heaven and man, and is responsible for the world and pity the people below. I thought these things would be done naturally, but in the past six months, they were entangled in many plans, which was very different from our central method, and I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable."

Fan Xian nodded slightly and agreed, "This kind of intrigue is indeed only suitable for people like me. You should still be a promising profession of a village girl." He didn't know what he thought of and sighed, "It's my problem after all. If I don't pull you into the game when I went to Beijing, maybe you are still raising chickens and teasing donkeys in the garden."

He turned to Haitang and smiled and said, "Did I think I have led you into the devil's way?"

"What is the devil's way?" Haitang replied calmly: "It's just a devil in the heart. If you want something, you will lose something. Although what I want seems grand, you will still lose something. This is the so-called natural way."

Fan Xian asked, "Then do you still persist?"

"Of course." Haitang said softly: "An Zhi, you said something that is in line with my heart."

"What's the matter?"

"In this world, there has never been a good war or a bad peace." Haitang said with a smile: "So for this goal, I am willing to help you."

Fan Xian fell into silence again, staring at the scenery in front of him in a daze. He saw that the bird might not find any parasites to fill his stomach on the plowing ox covered with yellow mud, so he flew away with a cry.

"Actually, don't be too inferior." Fan Xian turned his head and looked at Haitang, and said seriously: "I always think you are very dignified."

Haitang was stunned and replied after a moment: "Dare you asking for advice? Are you appreciating Duoduo or mocking me?"

Fan Xian smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just for the reasons you said before. I can't like you because of the reason."

Haitang finally couldn't help but give him a blank look, like a little girl, extremely rare.

Fan Xian found that his eyebrows were itchy, so he stretched out his fingers and rubbed them. He said, "Don't compare with me. There are not many beauties in the women in this world compared with me." He said depressedly: "This is not my problem, this is my parents' problem."

No matter how light and self-control, Haitang is just a teenage girl's house. How can there be no girl's family not paying attention to appearance? Unless she is blind... She was so angry that she was so upset by Fan Xian's words as explicitly comforted and secretly making fun of her. She thought that this guy's mouth was indeed a bit suspicious, and gritted her teeth and said, "As a high-ranking official, it's better not to mess around with him."

Fan Xian seemed not to notice the other party's anger and explained seriously: "It's not a mess. You said I couldn't like you because you were not beautiful enough. And I wanted to explain to you that in my opinion, you are really good..."

Haitang was slightly stunned. Fan Xian's next sentence came very quickly: "After all, there was an example. My wife, people in Kyoto, said that she was just pretty, but in my opinion, Wan'er is the most beautiful woman in the world..." He shook his head and sighed: "My aesthetic is probably different from most people in this world."

This sentence finally poisoned the crabapple. She groaned, took out her hands from her sleeves, and brushed her sleeves away. When she brushed her sleeves, the grass chips flew around the grass, and the wind was moving, and the momentum was imposing. I think the supreme true energy that carries the sky in this brush was.

Fan Xian reached out to cover his eyes, and was very embarrassed in the grass clippings. He shook back and forth, as if he could fall to the ground at any time. In this way, his extremely happy laughter came from the grass clippings all over the sky.

The wind stopped the grass chips and the crabapple stood quietly, with a hint of ridicule on his face, looking at him and laughed: "Hunting me, can you get angry with me two days ago?"

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, sighed, and said with a smile: "Duoduo, are you still angry?" This is the first time he called Duoduo after the tide of work.

After being stunned, Haitang slowly turned around and walked towards the carriage. At this time, the six swordsmen in the carriage had already gotten out of the carriage to protect him, and the tiger guards led by Gundam stared at Haitang vigilantly. After all, the previous gust of grass-plotted wind, these Fan Xiandi's subordinates didn't know what had happened, and were afraid that Haitang would suddenly take action.

Fan Xian followed, smiled and said, "Don't rush to get in the car, accompany me for a walk." He waved his hand and asked Gao Da and others to retreat, and then explained a few more words, carrying crabapples side by side along the woodland next to the official road.

The two walked side by side, and had been a long distance from the convoy. The spring forest above us shone with sunshine, and splashed in a few lines, turning into various beautiful spots of light, shining on the two of them.

"I care a lot about the word trust." Fan Xian said calmly: "Maybe it is because it is difficult for me to find someone worth trust in this life, so I was a little disappointed if you were to leave the house that day."

Haitang lowered his head slightly, and did not explain anything, but said directly: "Duoduo is also a person who cares a lot about this matter. After all, you and I belong to two countries. If you do not have the word "trust", it will be really difficult to achieve anything."

Once the words are spoken, it is relatively simple. Just ask Haitang if she wants to peep in the workshop or if Fan Xian misunderstood the girl. It is no longer necessary. Since Fan Xian's sarcastic mouth has been restored to some extent, it will seem extremely stupid to mention the old things.

The two walked side by side, Haitang glanced at him with his eyes and frowned. His hands were still in his sleeves, which was not as comfortable as Fan Xian put in his big pocket. Fan Xian explained softly: "I asked Sisi to add two pockets in the official uniform of the Supervisory Office."

Haitang smiled slightly and sighed with regret.

In the woods beside the official road, rustling sounds reappeared. This couple, who had no selfishness between men and women, but were particularly demanding of each other's trust, was like in the imperial palace in Shangjing, Northern Qi, on the road by the Yuquan River half a year ago. They were dragging their heels and walking lazily.

There is a spring scenery in front of you and behind you, and the leaves on your head are green and tender and cute.

"How do you plan to deal with the Ming family?" Haitang asked softly.

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The inner warehousing opens the door and bids in total. In previous years, Cui Ming's family had to occupy 14 items. Now that the Cui family has collapsed, almost six places have been left. I have arranged someone to take over. After Sizhe collected the Cui family's disability in the north in the middle of the year, the two sides of the north and south will be connected again... As long as your guard commander don't mess around, there will be no problem with the inner warehousing to the north. As for how many private goods and land members can be used, it depends on how much I can master the inner warehousing. In addition, the manpower transferred to me by my father, I don't know how much land it can play."

This was the agreement between him and the little emperor of Northern Qi. Haitang went south, of course, to focus on this matter and that large sum of money.

After a moment of silence, Haitang said, "Even if you can grasp the entire warehouse in a short time, if you send the number of places to the north... According to the agreement, it will be more private goods sent by the eldest princess in previous years, how can you guarantee the quantity you handed to the Qing court? I am worried that you will not be able to explain to the Emperor of Qing. Before this time, Your Majesty also asked me to bring you a message. Now this year cannot meet the needs of the north. You can postpone it for two years. Wait until you stand firm, but this is a long-term solution."

Fan Xian was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Northern Qi thought about it so much. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It depends on the situation. As long as the production capacity of the inner warehouse this year has increased significantly compared with previous years, I will explain it to the court very well."

Haitang glanced at him and asked in confusion: "Where does this growth come from?"

Fan Xian responded calmly: "First, of course, the production of the workshops in the inner warehouse must increase. After the source is opened, how to make a account and smuggle the goods out, there are naturally old shopkeepers, Su Wenmao, and the old officials of the Ministry of Revenue sent by his father to tamper with the account. You also know that the supervision of the inner warehouse is myself, and it is not too difficult to smooth the traces; second, I plan to chew hard on the Ming family and dig out the wealth of this big clan and present it to Your Majesty with both hands. Your Majesty will definitely be very happy."

Back to the question that Haitang asked at the beginning, how did he plan to deal with the Ming family? Haitang heard his tone and seemed not to be ready to wipe the Ming family in a short time. He was surprised and asked, "Can you tolerate the Ming family?"

"I have to, at least within this year." Fan Xian laughed at himself: "The foundation of the Cui family is too floating and the front line is too far, so the Supervisory Office can succeed in a battle. However, the Ming family's century-old clan was a famous family in Jiangnan long before the Neiku. It has a very solid foundation. There are many big clans with tens of thousands of people in the court. If they use thunder means to deal with it, I am afraid that Jiangnan Road will be in chaos. The most important thing is..."

His face became solemn: "The Ming family has taken a lot of benefits from the Neiku in recent years, but for such a big business, they certainly cannot be monopolized by their family. There are certainly the shadow of the royal family behind this system. The eldest princess, the princess, and the second princes have shares in it. Maybe you don't believe it. Even my Fan family has a place in it. And they give important gifts to Kyoto every year. The various ministries and even the Privy Council have a very good impression of the Ming family. They have always been low-key. You have also met that young master Ming. He is very steady in doing things and does not have a bad reputation among the people... It is really difficult to touch them."

Haitang also began to feel that this matter was a bit complicated, but she found that although Fan Xian had a little worry, she still did not lose her confidence and asked: "What is your trump card?"
Chapter completed!
