Chapter 81: The Moonlit Night Project
Before Zifeng and Xuanshuang could speak, Xue Xue hurriedly said, "You also heard it just now, it was Yu Gongzi who sent a white rabbit over and asked me to hand it over to Ru Yan." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Yu Gongzi is in a hurry, let Yuan Gongzi return and tell me some things to pay attention to when raising rabbits! ā
"Very good, this explanation is exceptional!" , Purple Wind laughed and trembled.
"It's a bit far-fetched, though!" , Xuanshuang added.
Xue Xue knew that he couldn't grind with them anymore, otherwise it would just get darker and darker. The best way to do this is to change the topic quickly!
"Why did you get back?" , Xue Xue asked.
Sure enough, this trick worked, and Zifeng and Xuanshuang were no longer entangled in this topic.
"You ask her!" , Xuanshuang, pointed at the purple wind.
Zi Feng replied: "Cao Gui's stinky man is too cunning, you said that this little peach of Chunfeng Pavilion has been good friends with him for so many years, and he is stunned that he has no sense of trust in her." Every time I get down to business, I always avoid it. ā
"You showed a flaw that made Cao Gui aware of something, right?" , Xuanshuang asked.
"How is that possible! With my acting skills, how can anyone see it! It is clear that Cao Gui is too cautious by nature! Zifeng said very confidently.
"Why do I think you shout every day that you are so powerful, that you are amazing, but you have never succeeded once!" , Xuan Shuang said unceremoniously: "It's a shame that I've been secretly guarding you and protecting you for so many days, but I'm blind!" ā
"Oh, I finally understand now why Cao Gui hasn't taken the bait, the reason is not me, but you!" , Zi Feng pointed at Xuanshuang and said.
"What's wrong with me?" , Xuanshuang asked loudly.
"It must be that you didn't hide it well, and Cao Gui found out, so you pulled me out!" , Purple Wind replied.
"Alright, alright!" , Xue Xue knew that if he didn't stop them, maybe he would have to fight, "Where is the real little peach now, is it safe?" ā
Obviously, the safety mentioned by snowfall does not mean that the little peach deity is not safe, but that they can't escape, and it is not safe for them.
"Safety!" , Xuanshuang replied, "Now Min Shu is leading people to watch it personally, and I can't run away!" ā
"Hmmm! I can only wronged her! Xue Xue responded, "This matter has to be considered in the long run, call Ru Yan and Hazy Moon over at night!" ā
The moon at night is good, illuminating the scene in the courtyard, a piece of silver white, mother-in-law sassy, quite flavorful.
The five of them sat down around a stone table in the courtyard.
"So, Sister Zifeng, you basically don't have anything to gain over there, right?" , Hazy Moon asked.
"Who said I didn't have anything to gain, huh!" As he spoke, Zifeng took out a portrait of a young woman.
Hazy Moon took the portrait, looked at it, and said, "Isn't this the wife of the couple we met in Zhuxi Town who lost their money bags?" ā
Ru Yan took the portrait and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the woman.
Zi Feng nodded, and said mysteriously: "Guess, who is this woman?" ā
Everyone else looked at her, and everyone knew the number of Zifeng's paths, even if no one asked her and picked up her stubble, she would still announce the answer.
Zi Feng poked his head forward and whispered, "She is the concubine that Su Boyu redeemed in the Spring Breeze Pavilion!" ā
As soon as Xuan Shuang heard this, he sneered at Zifeng, "What other valuable clues do I have, it turns out that I went to explore people's privacy again, and I am interested in some peachy incidents!" ā
"Don't worry, I have big news! A few days ago, one of Liang Yu's subordinates was entertaining in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and after drinking some wine, he vomited out everything, it turned out that since Su Boyu's concubine ran away with his family's nursing home, Liang Yu has been secretly sending people to hunt down the two! Purple Wind continued.
"This is really strange, it is said that this is just a family affair of Su Boyu's family, according to Su Boyu's character, the family ugliness should not be publicized, why do you ask your subordinates to use the power of the government to hunt down, if Su Boyue is not afraid of the family ugliness, why let the officers and soldiers act in secret!" , the snowfall is incomprehensible.
"Listening to what the official meant, it seems that the two of them took something that Su Boyu shouldn't have taken except for money!" , Purple Wind replied.
"What?" , Ru Yan asked.
"This, even the official himself doesn't know, only knows that it's a brocade box!" , Purple Wind replied.
"It seems that the contents of this brocade box are very important to Su Boyu!" , snowfall trails.
"Xuanshuang, you have a lot of friends on the rivers and lakes, you ask them to check the whereabouts of the woman on this portrait and the courtyard, if we look for it, we will startle the snake!" , Then, Ru Yan sighed: "If even this Su Boyu is not clean, then how many ruins are hidden under the prosperous appearance of Yangzhou!" ā
"That's fine, it's on me! The matter of the land enclosure case can be asked by Min Shu to go to the yamen tomorrow to thoroughly investigate how much unlawful public land in Yangzhou has entered the private pocket! Xuanshuang said.
"I've flipped through it!" As she spoke, Ru Yan took out a map of Yangzhou and explained while drawing on it with her hand.
"In addition to the inner city, this piece was originally fertile land, according to the records of Yangzhou City Chronicles, twenty years ago, these fertile fields always died crops for no reason, the reason is unknown, so the government took this fertile land to the rear of the north of the city, where the land is naturally much barren, but finally the crops are not dead! Later, this land was used as a temple fair venue, and later, I felt inconvenient, the temple fair moved away, and it was used as a private residence for merchants, shops and workshops for business! ā
"However, I've listened to it for a long time, and this doesn't look like an official enclosing land privately, it sounds like the court itself is enclosing land!" , Zifeng replied.
Xue Xue replied: "This is just the ancestor of the enclosure, and it was indeed the imperial court that was enclosing the land at the beginning. But some officials, finding it profitable to change these lands, exacerbated the trend. Constantly divert the fertile land, houses, and public land that was originally cultivated by the people for private use and commercial use, so as to make profits! ā
"I see, where there is meat in the real place, the dog will come in whichever direction!" , Xuanshuang said.
Ru Yan continued: "At the beginning, although the imperial court knew that some officials could make profits from it, because their practices were ostensibly in line with the laws of the imperial court, the imperial court did not ask about it. However, as Yangzhou has become more and more prosperous in recent years, the price of land has also risen, so that the rich have sold land recklessly, and the poor have no land to live in. And this phenomenon is getting more and more intense, and the imperial court has made up its mind to rectify it! ā
"However, there is still one thing I don't understand!" , Ha Yue asked: "Why don't you directly investigate the matter of the enclosure, but instead investigate the corruption of officials related to Cao Gui?" ā
Xue Xue smiled, "Because the imperial court doesn't want us to check!" ā
"I don't understand this, didn't the court ask Ru Yan to investigate the enclosure case?" , Purple Wind Channel.
Ru Yan sighed and said: "The injuries are too big, and a thorough investigation will not be the result that the court and the emperor want!" The imperial court just wants us to get rid of a few representative ones and make an example of them! ā
"That's right! Xue Xue continued: "An upstart like Cao Gui must make friends with a famous official, so he will rise in such a short period of time!" So, we just need to follow the map! ā
"Hazy Moon, how have you been harvesting these days?" , Ru Yan turned to ask Hazy Yuedao.
"The document of the construction right of the comprehensive exchange was not signed by Liang Yu himself, but by Liang Yu's wife and brother, Yin Kuan, who stole Liang Yu's seal and signed it in imitation!" , Hazy Moon replied.
"Is there any actual evidence?" , Xue Xue asked.
Hazy Moon shook her head.
Ru Yan continued, "It doesn't matter if Yin Kuan is secretly printed or not, and it doesn't matter who signed this document. If at the price given by the imperial court, Cao Gui can make as much money, and Cao Gui is such a shrewd person, of course, he will not do a loss-making business. In this way, he is bound to start from the aspect of reducing costs. I heard that a few days ago, in order to reduce the cost of manpower for construction, Cao Gui also applied to the imperial court to let the prisoners in the prison do labor. As a result, there was also an incident where the cell boss was left unsupervised for a while, and the prisoners escaped from the construction site. Cao Gui has calculated so much, so in other aspects, he will definitely stretch out his black hand! ā
"Therefore, the most important thing now is to get evidence that Cao Gui cut corners and rushed well, which does not comply with the laws of the imperial court!" , added Snowfall.
Ru Yan nodded.
"But how do you get it? Cao Gui is so fine, even Sister Zifeng's number one work has failed, I'm afraid no one can do it, right? ", Hazy Moon said.
"Purple Wind didn't fail!" , Ru Yan said.
"Haven't failed yet? During this time, why did Cao Gui trust her? Xuanshuang asked.
Even Zifeng himself said: "Yes, he doesn't trust me at all, but he was rubbed a lot by that old pervert!" ā
"Cao Gui is airtight, but it doesn't mean that all the people around him are airtight!" , Ru Yan said.
Xue Xue looked at Ru Yan and smiled: "I understand what you mean!" ā
"What do you mean?" , Hazy Moon asked puzzled.
"Although I heard that this Cao Gui is amorous by nature and often looks for flowers and willows outside, he has great respect for his wife. A lot of things are taken care of by his wife! Ru Yan made an introduction.
The snowfall whispered a few words in Zifeng's ear.
"What? Pretending to be Cao Gui to deceive his wife? Zifeng was surprised: "However, the reason why I pretended to be Little Peach before was because we could lock up Little Peach secretly." But for Cao Gui, I'm afraid this trick won't work, if Cao Gui appears at the same time as me, wouldn't it be embarrassing? ā
"Leave this to us!" , Ru Yan replied, "I can definitely guarantee that Cao Gui will not appear at the same time as you, but you also have to hurry up!" ā
Zifeng nodded.
Ru Yan looked firmly into the distance and said, "It's time to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!" ā
"Liang Yu's brother-in-law Yin Kuan is a good breakthrough, let's try him first!" , added Snowfall.
Xuan Shuang looked at Zifeng: "Now everyone's actions are up to you!" ā
"Your premise is a serious matter, and it's best not to let Cao Gui find out that someone is pretending to be his wife when he is done!" , Zifeng said with a roll of his eyes. (To be continued.) )
