Chapter 585: Shadows
Han Yuqi sighed, and Qi Qiran said: "The milk sent to the palace was found to have insects, and immediately a waiter carried the wooden barrel with insects to my house. ”
mentioned the scene at that time, Han Yuqi was still fighting in his heart, "The waiter scolded me sharply, saying that the queen mother was merciful and exempted my family from capital crimes, only canceled the qualification of the imperial businessman, confiscated the cattle farm at home, and fined 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Gu Yuqing couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she listened.
A fine of 10,000 taels of silver ...... No matter how rich the imperial merchant is, 10,000 taels is not a small amount, not to mention, he is just a milk-giver!
This 10,000 taels, I'm afraid it will hollow out his family!
was sighing, I heard Han Yuqi laugh bitterly, and continued: "Ten thousand taels, where can my family get so much silver, the queen mother has a time limit of three days, if you can't do it within three days, then everything is safe, and you don't care about years of affection." ”
"Helpless, I had to sell all the ancestral Shangtian maternity houses in a hurry, and the money I got will be enough, in addition to handing over 10,000 taels, the rest of my own house is only a few hundred. ”
"I originally thought that I would use these hundreds of silver taels to buy a thin field in the suburbs of Beijing and live with my family, but I didn't think that before I left the capital, someone would come to intercept and kill. ”
The more Han Yuqi spoke, the more depressed he became, and he was so defeated by him that he had done a good job of his ancestral business!
If he can't regain the position of the emperor and businessman, what kind of face will he take to meet the ancestors of the Han family under the nine springs in the future.
Although the fine of 10,000 taels of silver made Gu Yuqing dumbfounded, what made her heart turn even more was the cattle farm that was confiscated by the queen.
As the queen, of course, this cattle farm cannot be recorded in her name, so who will she hand it over?
Xiao Yi, a partner of the British Mansion?
If this matter has nothing to do with Miao Jiang, he and the two of them may be in charge of this cattle farm, but otherwise, I am afraid that the new owner of this cattle farm will not be a person from our dynasty.
The thoughts in his heart were tumbling, and seeing that Han Yuqi had nothing else to say, he was silent for a moment, and Gu Yuqing said: "You are now living in my mansion, without my permission, you are not allowed to enter and leave the mansion without permission, which is refreshing, if it leads to death, I don't care." ”
Han Yuqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Gu Yuqing said again: "As for your family, you can rest assured, as long as you don't have an accident, your family, I will keep them safe, but if you get into trouble, I won't care about their safety." ”
Hearing the threat in these words, Han Yuqi knew that he had no choice at this time, so he immediately agreed.
After Jixiang led Han Yuqi away, Gu Yuqing instructed Ruyi and Zhou Bingde: "If you two work hard for a few more days, be sure to stay near his cattle farm day and night, and inquire clearly who the new owner of this cattle farm is." ”
Zhou Bingde and Ruyi both took the order and left.
This time it was a surprising accident, and it didn't take half a day to go, and it was about to be twilight, so Ruyi hurried back.
Gu Yuqing was eating, and when she saw her coming back, she hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks to listen to her return.
"Miss, the slave maid and Brother Zhou have inquired clearly, the new owners of this cattle farm are two southerners, and Su Ri and the two live in the cattle farm. ”
Southerner...... Without Han Yuqi to check it out in person, Gu Yuqing could conclude that these two people must be the two southerners who found Han Yuqi's house earlier.
In other words, the queen initially wanted to use peaceful means to buy out the cattle farm in Han Yuqi's hands and his position as an imperial businessman, but Han Yuqi did not comply, so the queen chose the later method.
There is a huge difference between the north and the south, if it were not for a period of training and teaching, many southerners would not understand what the northerners could not understand, so not only the British government and Xiao Yi, but also the official eunuchs in Kyoto, the subordinate mansions used by the people were basically northerners.
Why did the queen choose two southerners to do things for her?
Was it the one she picked, or who picked it for her?
Who is the real owner of this cattle farm now?
Doubts surfaced in her heart, for the sake of insurance, Gu Yuqing still asked Ruyi to lead Han Yuqi to check it in person, but the results obtained were naturally determined by her, and the two of them were really the people who found him that day.
Things have developed to this point, and the next thing to do is to find out the details of these two people, and see whether it is a simple act of the queen to circle money or a trick by the descendants of Miao Jiang.
In the dead of night, the north wind is howling, and outside the candlelight reflection window, the branches swing violently, indicating that the wind outside is fierce.
This year's cold air came very early, and it was only a month after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it was so cold, according to this sudden drop in temperature, I am afraid that it will not take a few days for Kyoto to usher in the first snow of the year.
Kyoto is still like this, Liaodong, I don't know how to be a cold and snowy place!
I don't know if Li Deshun, who escorted the military supplies, has arrived at the battlefield safely, counting the days, it has been more than a month since he started on August 16, as long as there are no accidents along the way, it should be there!
Fortunately, Zhou Bingde found clues from Xiao Yi's groom, and his father installed Li Deshun in Fengning, and Xiao Yu's powerful secret ability to help, and drove out the cotton clothes of the whole army in a short time, otherwise, this winter, I am afraid that those poor soldiers will freeze to death!
The dragon in the house exuded a hot air, and had always been afraid of cold, Gu Yuqing shrunk himself in a thick quilt, leaned on a pine flower pillow behind him, staring at the reflection of the swaying dark branches on the window, and was stunned, and suddenly a sharp cry came from his ears.
"Mom, it's so cold! You're in the ice cellar! It's freezing this day, do you want to freeze me to death!"
Gu Yuqing's eyelids rolled and gave her a blank look at "Tianji", "Can you not make such a look of dying or alive every time you appear, such an ancient artifact, this cold can freeze you to death, and you are enough to embarrass your gods." Besides, I didn't have an earth dragon burning in this house, how could I freeze you to death!"
When the words fell, Gu Yuqing added slanderously: A stone is also shouting to be frozen to death, you are enough!
As a divine jade who can read Gu Yuqing's thoughts, of course, "Tianji" heard her silent belly slander clearly, and before Gu Yuqing could finish silently reciting it in her heart, "Tianji" shouted: "Stupid, how many times have I told you, I am an ancient artifact, not an ordinary stone, why don't you have a long memory!"
Gu Yuqing pursed her lips, "So, because you are an ancient artifact, you don't have ordinary stones to resist frost?"
"Heavenly Machine" ...... "When did you become so sharp-mouthed?"
Gu Yuqing sneered, didn't take it, but asked directly: "I haven't seen you come out for so long, what is the new task this time?"
"Tianji" wailed for a while, "The person who has been assigned to marry is different from what he says, can't we just say hello first and then talk about the task, you talk to a single jade like this, and you go straight to the point when you open your mouth, you don't care at all, have you considered the shadow in my heart?"
The corners of Gu Yuqing's mouth trembled......
Single Jade ...... Shadow in the heart...... What the heck!
