Chapter 488: Chin Cha (3)

Yunqing didn't rush to run an errand the next day, but accompanied Yuxi to have breakfast before leaving. When he went out, Yuxi said, "Herui, you let Mr. Chen come over, I have something to tell him." "The official letter to Mr. Chen to redress his grievances, Yuxi saw it last night.

Yun Qing turned his head and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Chen?" Seeing the smile on Yuxi's face, he felt that it should be a good thing.

Yuxi said with a smile: "I'll sue you later." "This happy event, Yuxi wants to tell Mr. Chen in person.

Yun Qing is not a person who is looking for the bottom of the matter, and when he saw this, he said: "Nacheng, you sue me at night." With that, he went out.

Yuxi sent Yunqing away, and took the jujube to the vegetable garden next door for a walk. Looking at the falling leaves from the trees, Yuxi said, "It's autumn again, and we have to store supplies for the winter." "The only pity that the Xu family is copied is that the grain from several granaries of the Xu family has not been moved to Yucheng, and all of them have been transported to the granary of the government by the Tan Governor's Mansion. By the time he reacted, it was too late, and no matter how powerful Yunqing was, it would be impossible for him to go to the Yamen's grain depot to transport grain.

Zi Jin said: "Madam, it's almost time to make bacon and sausages. "Not to mention those big men, even Zi Jin also likes to eat smoked sausages and bacon.

Yuxi said: "This year is well prepared, you should be able to marinate more, and you will have something to eat when the time comes." "Last year, it wasn't prepared until the end of the year, and there weren't enough ingredients, so I didn't smoke much.

After walking, Yuxi returned to the courtyard and handed the jujube to Mother Lan: "Take it to Uncle Huo!" Yuxi hopes that Huo Changqing's body will heal in the spring next year, so that she can be more relaxed.

Pomegranate walked in and said, "Madam, Mr. Chen is here!"

Mr. Chen walked in, saluted Yuxi, and asked, "I don't know what the matter is for Madame to come over?"

Yuxi handed the official letter from the Fujian government to Mr. Chen, and said with a smile: "Open it and take a look." "It is definitely a great joy for Mr. Chen to settle his grievances and release Mr. Chen as a prisoner.

After reading it, Mr. Chen's hands trembled, and tears fell in his eyes at the end. For more than ten years, he has been thinking about it day and night to clear his grievances, and today he finally waited.

After calming down, Mr. Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Yuxi, and said, "Madame's great kindness, Chen Mian can't repay it." ”

Yuxi calmly accepted Mr. Chen's three salutes and said, "Get up! Assist the general on an errand, even if you repay me." "The so-called kindness does not seek retribution, that is a saint. She is not a saint, she promised to help Mr. Chen redress her grievances that day, and she was rushing to reciprocate.

Mr. Chen said: "Madame, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to assist the general." "Because of his identity as a prisoner, he has been suppressed by Mr. Xia. In fact, in terms of talent and learning, he is not worse than Mr. Xia, but only his experience and experience.

Yuxi said: "The only regret is that you can't restore your fame." "When Mr. Chen was framed, he was stripped of his fame. Although Mr. Chen was rehabilitated this time, his fame was not restored.

Mr. Chen said: "It is enough to rehabilitate me. ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "Such a big happy event, you share it with your wife." Speaking of which, Mr. Chen is also lucky to have a wife who will never leave him. Without his wife's support and encouragement, Mr. Chan might not have been able to survive until now.

Mr. Chen also wanted to tell Mrs. SΓΉ the good news, and his wife followed him for more than ten years in Yucheng and suffered without complaining. But she is worried that because of his status as a prisoner, it will affect the marriage of her children. Now that he has been rehabilitated, there is no need to worry.

After Mr. Chen left, Yuxi turned to Zijin and said, "In November, the wedding between you and Yu Zhi will be held." "It's nothing to do in November, and I have time to organize Zijin's wedding. Zi Jin is the same year as her, and now she is eighteen, and it is time to get married.

Zi Jin said very calmly: "Listen to Madame's arrangement." ”

Seeing this, Yuxi deliberately said: "There is only one month left to get married in November, and your wedding dress can be embroidered?"

Zi Jin didn't know that Yuxi deliberately teased her, and said, "Madame doesn't know that the embroidery needle has become a fish hook in my hand." "The embroidery needles are straight, and they are bent by the violet shengsheng.

Yuxi smiled and said, "You, Yu Zhi can stand you." Although Yu Zhi has no big ambitions, he is really good to Zi Jin, so she can't help but be happy for Zi Jin when she sees it.

Zi Jin pouted and said: "What, it's his luck that I'm willing to marry him, otherwise who can look up to him like this!" Yu Zhi wants money or no money, no talent, no family background, and no ambition, just thinking about living his own small life, just her, who wants to marry other women!

Yuxi laughed.

In mid-October, the minister arrived in Tan Binh City. Tan Tuo was taking care of things in the mansion, and he heard his chief butler report the news to him: "My lord, the Qin mission will be at the city gate in half a day, are we going to greet him." ”

Tan Tuo said, "Cao De and I are of the same grade, what is there to welcome." ”

The chief butler Tan Ming persuaded him: "My lord, although Cao De is the same fourth-rank official as you, he is now the minister appointed by the prince, and he is here to investigate the case of the Xu family, so it is more appropriate to go out to meet him." "Tan Tuo and Cao De knew each other before the exam, because they have similar interests and have a very good relationship. Later, the two were admitted to the Jinshi together, and the relationship took a step further.

Tan Tuo said: "The evidence of the Xu family's collaboration with the enemy and treason is conclusive, and if you want to investigate, let them find out." ”

Tan Tuo not only has in his hands the evidence that the Xu family sent by Yunqing sold grain and grass to the outside of the customs, but also the evidence of the Xu family's disregard for human life, murder and arson, and collusion with the government to confiscate official food. Not to mention that it's just Cao Delai, even if the prince comes, he can't help the Xu family overturn the case. What the Xu family has done, they have been cheaper to exterminate the clan.

Tan Ming said: "My lord, you still need to be cautious, now Cao De is a celebrity in front of the prince after all." We don't please him, but we can't offend him either. "His family sometimes acts too straightforwardly, if only he could be more mellow.

Tan Tuo said: "Needless to say, I have made up my mind." The two were originally friends, but later Tan Tuo couldn't look down on Cao De's behavior, so he alienated Cao De.

In order to climb up that day, Cao De married the niece of Hubu Shangshu. As a result, as soon as Tobe Shangshu fell, he let his pregnant wife die of illness. The cruelty of the means makes people feel cold. No matter how strong his ability is, his character is not good, not to mention that he disdains to associate with him, even others dare not use him. Who knows if he will be bitten back when the time comes.

Seeing this, Tan Ming stopped persuading.

In the afternoon of this day, Cao De took a group of people into Xinping City. Tan Tuo didn't go to greet Cao De, but he was waiting for everyone at the post station.

When Cao De saw Tan Tuo, he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Jing Chun, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Brother Jing Chun's demeanor is still the same!" Tan Ming's character is called Jing Chun.

Although Tan Tuo disdains Cao De's personality, he will not let Cao De get off the stage in front of his colleagues, so he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Cao De's words are too polite, I am too old to be the same, but Brother Cao De is still the same as back then, and his appearance has not changed at all." ”

Cao De had to sigh when he heard this, time can really change a person. Tan Tuo, who wanted to be hard back then, will now also make a fool's ass. But now this is more suitable for officialdom. Cao De smiled and introduced the two officials who followed Tan Tuo. One is Xu Chen of the Criminal Department, and the other is Jiang Bin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

After greeting each other, Tan Tuo smiled and led everyone in, saying, "Prepare a little thin wine, and ask a few adults not to dislike it." "The meal wasn't shabby. Although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, there are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish.

As the host, Tan Tuo also drank a lot of wine. After drinking, Tan Tuo was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily, so he had to be supported by Tan Ming. Out of the post station, Tan Ming helped Tan Tuo into the sedan chair, and then sued Cao De, and then took Tan Tuo back.

Cao De looked at the sedan chair in the distance, his eyes flashed with a fierce color, he just poured wine with Xu Chen and a few people, just hoping to get Tan Tuo drunk, and then set Tan Tuo's words. Because Tan Tuo has a shortcoming, that is, when he is drunk, he will answer whatever others ask. But today, Tan Tuo only looked uncomfortable when he was drunk, but he didn't say a word. There can only be two reasons for this situation, the first is that Tan Tuo is not drunk and is pretending, but he is good at pretending to be so like this acting, and the other Tan Tuo realized his fatal flaw and corrected it. No matter what it is, it only shows one thing, Tan Tuo is not as easy to deal with as before.

What will be asked and said when drunk, this is the instinct of the body, and no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to control it. Therefore, Tan Tuo was just pretending to be drunk this time.

As soon as he returned to his bedroom, Tan Tuo took a pen and paper and wrote a letter, and after writing the letter, he said to Tan Ming: "Go and call Lord Yu Congyu." ”

Yu Cong was in the prefect's yamen, so he came quickly.

Tan Tuo handed the written letter to Yu Cong and said, "You will send someone to send this letter to Yucheng now, and you will hand it over to your wife." ”

Yu Cong knew that Tan Tuo had gone to see the minister, and when he heard this, he asked, "My lord, is the minister of the mission going to be unfavorable to my general and wife?"

Tan Tuo didn't answer this, and said, "Your duty is to guard those gold and silver treasures. Tan Tuo was not confident that he could keep these belongings now, and he didn't know what Yunqing meant, and why he didn't transport these gold, silver and jewelry to Yucheng.

Yu Cong was a little annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that since Tan Tuo was not going to sue him, he would not say anything no matter how much he asked, so he immediately said: "I will have someone send the letter to Madame." ”

Tan Ming sent Yu Cong out, turned back, looked at Tan Tuo's tired face, and asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Tan Tuo said: "Cao De will definitely make a big move this time. "From today's dinner when Cao De and Xu Chen knocked on his words to try to trick him, he felt wrong, and after he pretended to be drunk, he asked a few tentative questions, but he didn't continue to ask. However, it is enough to know from this point that Cao De has bad intentions.

Tan Ming said: "My lord, General Yun and Mrs. Yun are not people to be kneaded. Cao De wants to stir up the wind and rain, and it depends on whether he has the ability. ”

Tan Tuo said: "I hope it is as you say. "Although Yun Qing is a great general, according to his contact with Yun Qing, this general is really not a person who can play tricks. It's Mrs. Yun, who is brave and strategic.

ps: I have something to go out, and the third watch will be very late, so let's see it tomorrow!R1148
