After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

The pawn turned over and rolled off his horse, with an anxious expression on his face:

"Lord Hou, Zhang Shilang escorted the disaster relief money to Guangrou County, and was hijacked by mountain bandits when passing through Du'anyan! Poor team, except for Zhang Shilang, none of them survived!"

The disaster relief money was robbed by bandits?

Nan Baoyi was stunned.

That was millions of taels of snow-patterned silver, allocated by the imperial court to the people affected by the disaster, but it was robbed by mountain bandits, so what happened? !

The sun is shining, those bandits are too courageous!

Before she could say anything, another fast horse came galloping.

The boy sitting on the horseback was wearing a sky-blue brocade robe and a spun gauze crown, and his complexion was as gentle as jade.

It was Cheng De.

He reined in the reins and said condescendingly: "Jingxi Hou, my father was furious when he heard that the relief money was robbed. He wants you to find the relief money within three days and hand it over to the government. Otherwise, it will be reported to the imperial court and you will be disadvantaged in doing things." sin!"

Nan Baoyi frowned lightly.

Cheng Hui was the prefect of Shu County, and his second elder brother was in charge of receiving the imperial envoys. According to the usual practice, he did have the right to ask his second elder brother to investigate the whereabouts of the relief money.

It's only three days, it's too harsh, it's clearly taking revenge on the second brother!

After all, a few months ago, Cheng Dejin was dragged to death by a carriage. Although it was found out that Crazy Horse did it, the owner of the carriage did not find out.

In the entire Jinguan City, the only person who dared to kill Cheng Dejin and had the intention to kill Cheng Dejin was the second elder brother.

So Prefect Cheng, this is taking revenge on his second brother with the relief money!

She was displeased: "There are many bandits in the Du'anyan area, scattered in different villages. If they really did it, it would be impossible to wipe them out and get back the relief money in three days."

Cheng De's eyes fell on her.

Not seeing him for several months, his former fiancée, whose figure is like a tender willow, has grown taller.

Her hair was combed in a delicate bun, and her small face was white, tender and pink, very delicate and beautiful.

His eyes moved slightly, "This is an important military camp, why is Jiaojiao here?"

Nan Baoyi couldn't hear him calling her small characters.

She said seriously: "I am not familiar with Mr. Cheng,

Also, please don't call me by my small characters casually, just listen to me. "

Cheng De choked.

Immediately, he sneered: "Your sister is now my concubine, and I'm also your brother-in-law. So what if I call you small characters? Even if I share the same room with you, that's why."

He didn't dwell on this topic, but just stared at Xiao Yi coldly: "Jingxi Hou, you already know my father's order. I am now the chief bookkeeper in the official office, and I will be responsible for monitoring your every move for the past three days." Make a move. Within three days, we must wipe out the mountain bandits and get back the relief money. Otherwise, the imperial court will send someone to hold you accountable, and Shu County can only take you as the scapegoat."

Nan Baoyi was full of worry.

For the loss of millions of taels of disaster relief money, the imperial court will definitely hold the local officials accountable.

Cheng Taishou and Xue Dudu made it clear that they wanted to take the second elder brother as the top bag...

The worry on her face displeased Cheng De very much.

He said: "The Marquis of Jingxi has something to do, and Jiaojiao's presence will definitely hinder him. A girl should look like a girl's family. I will send someone to take you back to your residence."

"Where am I, what does it have to do with you?" Nan Baoyi hated him very much, "You don't mind my business!"

She took Xiao Yi's hand affectionately, "Second Brother, I will go to Du'anyan with you. I promise, I won't cause you any trouble!"

She planned to send Feige a letter to Yulouchun, and asked Hanyanliang to help her investigate the whereabouts of the relief money.

In this way, it can be regarded as helping the second brother.

Xiao Yi gently touched her little face, "Jiaojiao likes it, then follow her."

Nan Baoyi can also ride a horse.

When she was walking towards Du'anyan, she realized that not only the powerful ministers brought their family members, but Cheng De also brought a carriage with him.

The car curtain swayed, revealing a smoky pink skirt.

Through the bamboo curtain, one can vaguely see the slender figure of the girl inside, with a charming and alluring profile.

She looked at it, and gently opened the bamboo curtain with a tender hand.

The four eyes are facing each other.

Nan Yan helped the golden hairpin on her temples, and smiled: "I haven't seen you in half a year, Jiaojiao is fine."

It's Nan Yan!

Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows, feeling excited.

Judging by Nan Yan's appearance, she should be doing well in the Cheng family.

She said softly, "Sister, please come here and be safe."

"Brother Cheng dotes on me very much. I have a very good life in Cheng's house, much better than when I was in Nan's house." Nan Yan casually caressed Fu Ruqun, "I couldn't afford to wear this kind of silk fabric before. But now, I can cut as many pieces as I want, and I don’t have to look at other people’s faces anymore.”

Nan Baoyi tilted his head.

Being a noble concubine deserves her pride...

It can be seen that things like vision are really important.

She smiled sweetly: "Congratulations to my sister for getting what she wanted."

Nan Yan saw through her thoughts with a glance, and the corner of her mouth raised: "I know you look down on me. But as far as I am concerned, I would rather be an official concubine than a poor wife. Now brother Cheng is practicing in the official office. Although he is a small master, But there are also many people who go through the back door and try to bribe him through me. I have received many expensive gifts, which are the benefits that marrying an ordinary family does not have."

Nan Baoyi chuckled.

Taking bribes as capital to show off, Nan Yan is really despised.

She didn't care, and rode straight forward.

Nan Yan watched her back with a more smug smile.

Nan Baoyi must be jealous, that's why she doesn't want to talk to her.

She shook the round fan lightly, feeling a little more elated and happy in her chest.

She gazed at the scenery of the official road, and her eyes were full of satisfaction after suffering.

It took a lot of effort for her to gain a firm foothold in the Cheng family.

Mrs. Huang didn't like her, so she made up her mind every morning and evening, cooked for Mrs. Huang herself, and served her carefully all the time, more thoughtful than a personal maid.

But these did not impress Huang.

So she bought poison, poisoned to death two concubines who were deeply loved by Cheng Taishou, and helped the Huang family to fight for favor, which made the Huang family treat her differently and treated her much better.

Cheng De is a person who values ​​his mother.

Because Mrs. Huang was kind to her, he was also willing to be kind to her, and he was much more generous to her, willing to give her some jewellery, silk and satin.

Even this trip to Du'anyan, he is willing to take her with him.

This is a favored performance!

Nan Yan waved the round fan, enjoying the service of the maid serving tea and water.

This trip to Du'anyan, she must let Nan Baoyi see with her own eyes how rich and happy she is living now.

At dusk, the convoy arrived in Guan County.

Located in Guan County, Du'anyan is a majestic and grand water conservancy project.

The place where Nan Baoyi and others rested was Yushi Street, south of Baopingkou in Du'anyan.

It is said to be a street, but it actually looks like a bustling ancient town, famous on the Southwest Tea Horse Road.

The people here were not affected by the drought, and the commercial trade in silk, Shu brocade, tea, horses, jade, etc. in the town was very prosperous.

The most luxurious inn on Yushi Street is called Qianqiuxue, which is run by the same owner as Qianqiuxue in Xiling Snow Mountain.

Nan Yan supported the maid's hand, glanced at Nan Baoyi intentionally, and said softly, "Brother Cheng, shall we want the best room? I'm tired along the way and want to have a good rest."
