Chapter 167: A Closer Look
Xiao Zheng glanced at Liang Qin and praised her for being thoughtful.
Liang Zhi took out a fold from his cuff and handed it to the emperor. Seeing that everyone admired their sister, they couldn't help but feel proud, and gently spit out eight words: "The weather is dry and dry, and it is damaged by fire." ”
When the emperor heard this, he read the fold roughly, and slammed the fold on the table in a fit of anger: "Bold!"
Qin Yuan glanced at Pei Gu, and they all knew that the reason for such a perfunctory was just to be fooled in the booklet.
Liang Qin asked again: "The number of people who have lost a year has been recorded in thousands, and it is just a matter of two families, with such a large number of people, don't their families be suspicious at all?"
The emperor bowed his head and asked Liang Zhi: "I also have this question. ”
"I just said that the current goes east in spring and summer, and north in autumn and winter. To the east is the Wa Kingdom, to the north is the Hebei Mansion, Hebei Mansion can occasionally send letters back, and there are really people who drift to the Wa Kingdom, and people who can escape back by all means, and the female dependents think to each other that their men can drift to a safe place with the current" Liang Zhi was meticulous and serious, and these details were naturally investigated.
Qin Weien, who had been listening carefully, suddenly spoke: "The Sailor Governor Yu Haoying is in charge of the Sailor Yamen, but everyone knows that he has a discordant relationship with Liu Yunqing, Liu Yunqing's wife and the queen are out of the Yuan family, but the Yuan family is not close to the Liu family, and it is clear that these two people are related to the prince, but Yu Haoying stayed in the Beishan camp for three years before being transferred to Jiangnan. ”
Beishan Daying, that is the place where the mother of Mu and the elder brother of the Li Concubine Yang family have been serving.
The emperor's brows twisted slightly, "Aside from the abnormality of the sailor, Liu Yunqing is really corrupt and perverted the law, dereliction of duty and greedy ink?"
Liang Zhi nodded heavily: "What was written clearly in my father's book last year is the truth. ”
Qin Weien said in a deep voice: "The greedy silver is no less than three million taels, which is more than the taxes paid by Jiangnan every year, one Liu Yunqing, one Liu family." Can't swallow so much. ”
The anger in the emperor's eyes gradually faded, and he became more and more clear.
That's right, that's a lot of silver, not a small amount......
"The important ministers of the capital are the ones who went south with the emperor this time. Minority. Shi Chuan is Liu Yunqing's minion, the emperor arrested him, Liu Yunqing will be cleaned up soon, and when the time comes, he will only quietly watch who can't hold back. Qin Weien said calmly, looking at the emperor's gradually clear eyes.
That's right.
three million taels of silver. Out of the Jiangnan officialdom, it was sent to the capital, and there are not many people in the capital who can afford to eat this silver.
Cabinet Elder, Crown Prince, or King Mu?
"King Xiao has been doing recently when he arrived in Jiangnan?"
Pei Gu opened his mouth, feeling that it was really embarrassing to say this: "His Royal Highness King Xiao is concerned about the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and he goes out all day long. Get out..."
"Let's go out and find something to eat! The emperor snorted coldly, these sons of his.
Although there is no one who asks him to worry, but in the bones, in the fourth child, in the end, he doesn't believe it, and he doesn't know how to care, people like Zhou Shufei and the Zhou family only teach a delicious prince.
"Tomorrow, ask him to check on Liu Yunqing in private. Except for the case of embezzlement of ink, all big and small things will be investigated! I don't believe it, Liang Qing can't check his Liu family. Sue the king of filial piety, if it is done well, I will reward him with five Jiangnan cooks and allow him to take them back to the capital. ”
The emperor's words were addressed to Pei Gu. Along the way, Pei Gu accompanied him, and he was also familiar with King Xiao, "You will go to check with King Xiao." ”
Pei Gu responded respectfully, Qin Yuan listened to the emperor's arrangement, and the corners of his mouth smiled lightly.
The emperor also gave Liang Qin a special advice: "The people in the palace, you carefully investigate." Concubine Li, Sun was very careful. ”
It was not early, and the crowd dispersed.
Pei Gu found King Xiao early and sent him a letter.
"Father asked me to check Liu Yunqing?" King Xiao held the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes looked at the xiaolong soup dumplings sent by Pei Gu in the morning, but he didn't have the heart to move the chopsticks.
"That's what the emperor said. Pei Gu smiled indifferently.
"But did you say anything else?" King Xiao wondered.
"The emperor asked you to check Liu Yunqing carefully, and after checking it, he rewarded you with five famous chefs in Jiangnan and allowed you to take them back to the palace in the capital. Pei Gu visibly held back a smile.
King Xiao's expression deepened, "Liu Yunqing is the prince's person?"
"I don't know, Liu Yunqing's wife Yuan is from the same family as the queen's mother, but Liu Yunqing ignored Yuan's love, and once almost made a move to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, but after all, he is still an in-law with the Yuan family, and he doesn't know what the relationship is in private. Pei Gu shook his head.
When the two of them were talking, the little guy at the door reported that Qin Yuan had arrived.
King Xiao frowned, "It's really strange today, they all came to me." ”
Qin Yuan saw that Pei Gu was also there, and he didn't see outside, his eyes lit up, and he only said to King Xiao: "Tomorrow after noon, Your Highness will go to Liufu to meet Liu Yunqing for a while, okay?"
King Xiao looked at his expression and couldn't help but smile lightly: "But what's the show?"
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up, he knew that the children of the royal family, how could they really be like that? Qin Yuan sat down and nodded, "The cook in the Liu Mansion, a dish of West Lake vinegar fish is very good, His Royal Highness was in great interest temporarily, and he arrived at the Liu Mansion without paying a prayer in advance, and Mrs. Yuan will naturally take His Royal Highness to look for Liu Yunqing." ”
King Xiao's eyes lit up: "Isn't it Liu Yunqing-"
Qin Yuan smiled mysteriously: "Don't say it, don't say it, it's better to ask His Royal Highness King Xiao to see it tomorrow and find out for himself." ”
King Xiao nodded with a smile and asked Pei Gu, "Do you want to go to the show with me?"
Pei Gu looked at Qin Yuan's mysterious appearance, he was curious, and then nodded: "Since Your Highness has spoken, then I will also go and take a look." ”
Qin Yuan smiled to himself and didn't speak, King Xiao looked at him, didn't ask much, took chopsticks and sent a small soup dumpling to his mouth, praised it for being delicious, and beckoned Pei Gu and Qin Yuan to eat together.
At lunch the next day, Xiaowang Yuwenyi and Pei Gu really changed their clothes and took their little servants to wander around the street.
"I'm tired, can I find a place where I can cook well and have a good meal?" Yu Wenyi took the fan in her hand, dressed in Hangzhou silk and a jade plaque hanging from her waist, and at first glance she looked like a rich and noble son.
Pei Gu nodded, and the two of them found a restaurant that looked very prosperous and went to a private room.
Yu Wenyi beckoned Xiao Er and asked, "All the specialty dishes in your store will come up." ”
Xiao Er saw that the two of them had an extraordinary bearing, and they were serving good tea and snacks, but in a quarter of an hour or two, a table full of dishes was served.
Yu Wenyi pointed at one of them with chopsticks and asked the little two: "Is this the 'West Lake vinegar fish'?"
Xiao Er gave a thumbs up and said with a flattering smile: "This master has good eyesight, which is the signature dish of our store, West Lake vinegar fish." Select the best West Lake grass carp, first starve the fish in clear water, starve for two days, to remove its pollution, you have to be in charge of the chef for many years to do a good job. There is a poem in the past: 'Why bother looking for Zhang Han perch, the fish is beautiful and the flavor says West Lake, the loss of the gentleman has this reconciled hand, and I know that Song Sister-in-law did not have it back then. The reputation is that this West Lake vinegar fish is better than the delicious Songjiang sea bass. (To be continued.) )
