Return of the Swallow

Li Zhixian, like Gong You, had some misunderstandings about Pang Xiao's behavior due to the influence of his reputation outside.

But now after hearing this explanation, and then hearing that the Pang Xiao family, together with Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, were able to sell their property and donate it to the people in the disaster area to buy rice, and were also ordered not to make it public, Li Zhixian's eyes were filled with emotion.

No one who hangs around in the officialdom is a fool, and everyone has a strong sense in their heart. Pang Xiao donated money, but did not make it public, and had no intention of beating gongs and drums to tell the world.

Yang County is so close to the old capital. If Governor Gong didn't tell him, he wouldn't know about it, let alone the emperor who was far away in the capital?

Therefore, Pang Xiao was really just doing things for the people silently at this time. He did not want to show off his merits, and was willing to hide behind the scenes and pay silently.

This approach is much better than some people claiming to provide disaster relief in a big way, but no one comes, and no rice relief is delivered!

Who is willing to do this to the detriment of others? Everyone present knew the reason for giving silently.

Li Zhixian sniffed, and when he faced Pang Xiao and Qin Yining again, his expression became more solemn.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise you that every penny you spend will be used wisely to ensure that more people survive!"

Li Zhixian's voice was loud and thunderous. enough to express his determination.

Pang Xiao was infected by his emotions and was quite moved for a moment. He nodded and said, "I believe that if we work together, we will definitely be able to keep more people alive."

Magistrate Gong and Magistrate Li were excited, and they both nodded heavily in unison: "Definitely!"

It was getting dark, so everyone rested in the government office for the time being.

There were a lot of mosquitoes, and Pang Xiao was worried that Qin Yining would be bitten by poisonous mosquitoes again and have a fever. He didn't sleep much all night, and he had to get up from time to time to help Qin Yining ward off mosquitoes and fan him.

In the early morning of the next day, Pang Xiao still looked refreshed, and no one else could tell. After Qin Yining became more friendly with him, he got up and accompanied Pang Xiao on patrol outside.

The disaster in Yang County was slightly less serious than that in the old capital, perhaps because it was no longer the center of the Earth Dragon's comeback, and there were not many high-rise brick buildings, so the number of casualties was much smaller.

They patrolled the city and found several large households whose walls had been repaired.

One family even raised the wall a little higher.

This kind of approach really means that there is no 300 taels of silver in this place. It is not difficult to guess that there must be food in their house.

Magistrate Gong asked Magistrate Li: "Is the food of the Ding family and the Pei family still at the same price?"

Li Zhixian nodded sadly, "Not only did he refuse to lower the price, but after asking several times, he even wanted to raise the price."

Magistrate Gong gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "These are rich and heartless thieves! They used to exploit the people in Dayan like this, and now they dare to eat the flesh and blood of the people!"

"I think they just want to talk to the government lions and make a fortune from the national crisis! If the government can't come up with the money, they have reason to say that the emperor is reluctant to feed the people!" Pang Xiao's deep voice was full of contentment. He was angry, and it was easy to see his anger from the veins popping out on his forehead.

"The prince's analysis is that these people are rich and unkind, and they are not worthy of being human at all. We should teach them a lesson!" Li Zhixian is young and has a more impulsive temper.

Pang Xiao was domineering and cheerful. At this time, his thoughts coincided with those of Li Zhixian. Hearing this, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will talk to them when I get back."

He conquers the battlefield, and if he is really serious, he can scare people with just one sharp glance.

Upon seeing this, Magistrate Li and Magistrate Gong felt a little more confident. As long as Pang Xiao was willing to sincerely contribute, they believed that the people's food problem could always be solved.

For a moment, the two of them felt like they had a backbone after Pang Xiao arrived.

When Pang Xiao, Magistrate Gong, and Magistrate Li led Master Lu and others on patrol, Qin Yining also took the people around him to act alone, looking around the city for any signals that the Blue Sky Alliance might have left behind.

Since the Holy One said that the treasure might be in Yang County, if the treasure hadn't been swallowed up by a silver-faced spy, then the people from the Blue Sky Alliance would definitely handle it.

If the people of the Qingtian League completely betrayed her, and she didn't care about facing the crazy revenge of Qin Yining and Pang Xiao in the future, that would be another matter, otherwise the Qingtian League would definitely contact her.

Qin Yining and his party split up and finally found the clues left by the three Blue Sky Alliance.

"Madam, you see, the codes of these locations, when connected together, mean that they want you to go to the mountain in the north. It is the mountain we passed by when we came here yesterday."

Qin Yining nodded and said: "Destroy all the marks, as long as we know it in our hearts."

"Yes." Xiao Man immediately accepted the order and quietly destroyed all the marks.

Jiyun and Bingtang whispered: "Madam, do you plan to go?"

Bingtang anxiously advised: "Madam, it's best not to go. They changed their minds temporarily and didn't tell you where they took the things. Now they suddenly appear and want to lead you to such a broken mountain road with terrible road conditions. They have no good intentions at all!”

"Yes, madam, I feel suspicious too." Da Han also said, "You should be more careful and make a decision after discussing with the master. Don't go alone and be fooled."

Qin Yining knew about their good intentions, and she also felt that this matter was not something she could solve alone.

Therefore, after the inspection that day, Qin Yining returned to the government office and hid in the room with Pang Xiao to whisper.

Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining's waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Did you really find the mark?"

"Yeah, but I didn't dare to go alone." Qin Yining also raised his head and whispered in his ear: "I don't think things are that simple."

"Fortunately you didn't go. Today I got a secret report from the capital. Didn't I leave someone with my father-in-law? He was ordered to deliver this information by his father-in-law."

Pang Xiao's voice was lowered, and hot air was sprayed on Qin Yining's ears, "The Holy Lord has secretly come to Yang County. Our actions are all under surveillance. If we act rashly, I am afraid that sooner or later the Holy Lord will know. Then we can’t argue with each other.”

Qin Yining froze when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel scared.

Fortunately, she has now developed the habit of relying on Pang Xiao, and likes to discuss things with Pang Xiao when things happen. If she still makes her own decisions like before, I am afraid that this time she will really capsize in the gutter, bring Pang Xiao down, and may even endanger her. People from the Qingtian League were also exposed, including two families in the capital.

"Fortunately I didn't go." Qin Yining let out a long breath.

"Yes." Pang Xiao kissed her forehead and said: "From now on, we will only focus on disaster relief. Don't worry about the treasures and the contacts with the Blue Sky League and others. We can't reveal any flaws in our actions, otherwise our family will My family in Beijing will be in danger."

Qin Yining broke out in cold sweat on his back and nodded hurriedly.
