The flood in Chudi was affected, Ye Yiqing donated money and food, and also made a discount, willing to pay the annual savings of several generations of his family for disaster relief.

At that time, he was not the only one who donated money and food, some people thought of taking the opportunity to donate an official and take a loose official position back, which could be regarded as an official, Ye Yiqing was a mess behind him, and the saint was about to catch his mistakes, but he didn't expect him to jump out by himself.

Ye Yiqing's official fell again and again, down to the fifth grade, but the connections in his hands have not been broken, the old lady Song persuaded him several times, he only regarded it as the old lady Song, and no matter how enterprising he was, his days were still long, and following Yan Lianzhang was following the prince, and not only did the Yan family take these money, but half of it also flowed into the prince's pocket.

Thinking that this business will make a steady profit, it is to blow the wind on his head to loosen the soil, there is a sound of thunder, and then some rain will come down, the trees below will have deep roots, and the root of the injury will not be fundamental, the old lady Song will not take a hand, but the Yan family will have to take care of it for him, this system has been connected to the prince, there is such a backer, there has been nothing for more than ten years, and this time the bento will be fine.

Ye Yiqing has a large amount of salt in his hand, and he has a private salt mine at home, and a salt is a hundred catties of salt, and it is more than a hundred catties that come out of his hands.

He has been in Yangzhou for a long time, and he has known countless salt merchants, holding salt in his hand, sitting on the ground and raising the price, and the salt sold is better than the condition on the market, and there is nothing that can not make a fortune.

There is a saying in Yangzhou City that salt leads to a gold tael, a thin piece of paper is exchanged for money, and there are countless hands and feet done in private, and the family assets are donated in front of them, and then people walk around from house to house, three festivals, two birthdays and four festivals, he sent out melon and fruit cakes, and other gold and silver beads.

The Yan family already occupies the majority of the salt mine, and there is still shipping in their hands, and the new official has three fires in office, and his good financial road has been cut off by his son-in-law, not only his son-in-law, but also his wife and nephew, it is always not good-looking to make trouble, and if he misses this share, he will loot it from the Ye family.

The sage's will this time is written to investigate thoroughly, and the people involved in the case will be arrested and interrogated, and the will is issued, but how can the people who do things below not see the face of the crown prince?

The case is difficult to advance, and there are too many people involved, so they only treat the saint as a saint this time, who knows that the saint has changed three presiding officials in two months, this is to cut to the end, and he will not talk about the slightest affection.

Regardless of how the case was tried above, the female relatives of the Ye family were also escorted into Beijing, because the case was not judged, they were all imprisoned first, and as soon as the Ye family heard about it, they immediately picked up the warm quilt and sent it in.

There is no other way to do this, and there is only the old lady Song, how dare he dare to open his mouth, he has been clean all his life, seeing that the evening is difficult to protect, and now the presiding judge wants to discuss whether to mention Yan Lianzhang or not.

You can't plead in the case, but you can send things, and after seven or eight turns, it was easy to nod, and the explorer was locked up outside the city, and Ye's family couldn't go, so they packed up a cart of things, and the mother-in-law and grandmothers were afraid that they were not careful, so they went with Chunyan and Shi Gui.

If Shi Gui was not valued by Ye Wenxin, he would not accept the little disciple, Ye Wenxin occasionally wrote and asked, Ye was afraid of his nieces and nephews at that time, where did he pay attention to the side, but at this time he remembered that Shi Gui was going around the window when he was instructed, and Ye looked at her with a look of urgency: "Let her go too." ”

Clothes, bedding, food, everything, Chunyan sat in the car, escorted into the capital from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and more than two months have passed here, at the end of October, it has been falling fine snow in the sky, and the house is wrapped in a warm quilt and burning hot coals.

Ye's recitation of Buddhism, Shi Gui's recitation of Buddhism, she no longer expected that Ye Wenxin would be escorted back, Ye's courtyard did not dare to speak loudly for the first two months, Shi Gui kept asking Chunyan for news, but even Ye's news was not true, and they didn't know it when they were girls.

The carriage swayed all the way out of the city, Shi Gui couldn't help but look out of the window, his heart was as anxious as if he was frying soup, he hadn't seen Ye Wenxin for two years, and it would be like this to see her again.

Chunyan frowned tightly, if it weren't for this incident, she would have been released to get married, the Ye family set for her, set a villager, the family has a land and a house, or a good citizen, the choice of thousands of choices, the dowry is ready, it is her own family that pushes the marriage date, and she is willing to marry until the Ye family is settled and the Ye family is in better shape.

She glanced at Shi Gui and knew that she was really anxious, so she pursed her lips and said, "Wait a while, no matter what tragedy you see, you will have to comfort Mrs. Grande when you go back." ”

Shi Gui turned to look at her, and Chunyan sighed: "My wife's body is not good, but she is worried, and she has to take off three layers of skin when she walks through the yamen, and she ...... They are all female dependents, and they can't stand it, so let's say something else, I know that you and your cousin have a master-apprentice relationship, but there are some words that can't be missed in front of your wife. ”

"My province, Sister Chunyan doesn't have to command. "Holding a big burden in his arms, there are thick clothes and skirts, as well as quilts, clean muslin, in addition to these, there is also a box of medicine, Ye can prepare these, it is because he has thought about the situation inside very badly, Shi Gui's heart is pounding, Ye Wen's heart is too beautiful.

Outside the city, the prisoners were escorted in a righteous village, and the prison was full of people, and such female dependents were not repeat offenders, so they should not be placed in the prison of the Criminal Department, so they had to find some empty houses and install two fences to guard them.

The people at the door were still holding the brazier to bake the fire, seeing that the carriage had stopped, the two looked at each other, stood up with the door, and the car with the mother-in-law lifted the curtain and came down Shi Gui, Shi Gui has not yet grown up, and the eyes of these two are also staring, and when there is a spring swallow coming down inside, the fire is not baked, and he takes two steps forward: "Which one?" ”

Before the people walked in, they had already heard the howling and crying, Shi Gui had been plagued, and the fields were full of locusts, and the people in the village had never cried like this, she took a breath, followed Chunyan with her head stuffy, and didn't dare to look around, so she had to stare at the tips of her shoes.

The top has already been dotted, the king of Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, and then come and pretend not to know, the mother-in-law stretched out his hand is two pieces of broken silver, there are not enough people, and the jailer is just a yamen in the capital, seeing the silver into his sleeve, let go of the door, Chunyan Shi Gui went inside, and the two of them sighed behind him, and when Shi Gui turned around, he saw that both of them were crooked, and their eyes were staring at their waists.

If you go inside, you have to check the things, and turn the baggage open one by one to take a closer look, saying that you want to search for any sharp weapons in these quilts and clothes, but the quilts and pillows are all picked up on the ground.

The things in it are all linen and kudzu, and they don't dare to accept it thick, and if they really use silk and satin and new cotton, they can't fall into their hands at all, and when they walk on the front foot, these things are greedy for the back foot.

A few jailers didn't find anything, so their faces were a little unsightly, and they crushed the silver, and then they let go, and they couldn't stop chewing in their mouths: "I have scraped so many people's fat and people's ointment, and now I am poor." ”

There were women's clothes and shoes piled up in that room, and the clothes were trimmed with gold, and there were small sheepskin boots on the table.

Chunyan pulled Shi Gui: "Don't make trouble, let's go, it's those officials who suffer the loss." "It's not only the Ye family that is pressed, the fence is everywhere, there are those who are related early, those who are late, and those who are closed later look a little bit of color, and the clothes that are closed early are dirty, Chunyan can't bear to look at it, but Shi Gui saw a few people who were leaning against the wall, and they all looked up when they saw someone coming.

In the case of illegal salt, the radish has not been moved, but the mud is about to be turned out, and a string of them has been picked up from the household department to the salt transportation department, and the case has not yet been judged, and a batch of people who can't stand it have died first.

Shi Gui saw that some of those women still had hope in their eyes, and some of them were dumbfounded and didn't move, and after being locked up for a long time, there was no hope in their hearts, so it was better to sentence it earlier, whether they were alive or dead, they could get out of the cage.

The place where the Ye family's daughters were closed was against the wall, and because of the wall, a window was opened, Ye Wenxin sat by the window, looking at the sky outside in a daze, Chunyan called her cousin twice, and she came back to her senses.

She is getting thinner and thinner, she was just slender, but now she has become a handful of bones, her face is pale, her lips are dry, and there are many girls in a room, next to her to keep warm.

Shi Gui has never been a person who loves to cry, but when he saw it, he still couldn't hold back, his nose was sour, and half of the people sitting in it were acquaintances.

They were still wearing jackets, and the winter wind in Jinling City was blowing like bones, wet and cold, cold to the cracks of the bones, next to each other

It was still warmer, Shi Gui saw that Ye Wenxin was covered with jackets, and immediately took off the jacket on his body, stuffed the clothes in, and handed them in one after another, and passed the clothes to Ye Wenxin one by one.

Six out of the cry couldn't make a sound, one passed on to the other, Su Chen Yufu covered his mouth and cried, Shi Gui thought about it when he came, Ye Wenxin's clothes Ye Shi prepared, but these girls didn't, they wore two vests inside, and one more thick skirt.

But how can these things on her body be enough, Chunyan also untied her jacket when she saw this, and wiped out what she could wear and use, Ye Wenxin heard the crying gradually flourishing, so she spoke: "Don't cry." ”

As soon as she spoke, all the six out of the six were closed, Chunyan opened the food box and gave them something to eat, the soft cakes were paid for ten times, and they were separated after a while, Ye Wenxin pushed and looked at Shi Gui: "Wenlan is on the other side, send him some." ”

Which one can still say anything about this situation, Yu Yu bit the cake and still asked if there was salvation, Chunyan opened her mouth to persuade her, saying that her wife was thinking about it, people had hope, and her face looked good, only Ye Wenxin was still motionless, the fine snow floated in and fell on half of her hair, looking at a room full of people with happy faces, only she knew that this time her father must be a capital crime.
