Chapter 8: The Place of Death
Ye Jingchuan still has a lot of doubts, for example, why did Song Chuyi let him open a private room here early, did he already realize that there would be such a thing as Han Zhi today? Or is she actually not trying to prevent Han Zhi, but there are other people? This guess was quickly confirmed, and after a while, Qingtao, who had just used the excuse of going downstairs to fetch water, knocked on the door and came in, and reported softly to Song Chuyi: "Sure enough, someone is following us, and now they are still downstairs." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info has already instructed Ma Changjiang and Ma Wangkun to keep an eye on them. ”
A pair of jade bracelets in Song Chuyi's hands made a jingle sound, she pushed open the window and looked at the red horn singing below, and then moved her gaze to Zhang Run's room opposite, slowly lowered her eyes, and instructed Qingtao: "Tell Ma Wangkun to be careful, Han Zhi doesn't need him to follow him, call Ma Changjiang or Sun Ergou to go." Everyone else is staring at the people who are following us. ”
I'm afraid of being silent, but now that I know that someone is following, Song Chuyi's heart has calmed down a bit----- at least it shows that the black hand behind the scenes is also very wary of her, or very cautious, so cautious that she doesn't even let go of a noble girl in the boudoir.
Song Chuyi was a little glad that she had notified Ye Jingchuan and the others here in advance in order to be sure, but now she had accidentally hidden Han Zhi's eyes, and by the way, she cleared the suspicion for Zhang Run----- Han Zhi had always known that she had a good relationship with Ye Jingchuan, and it was not a fuss to come out to watch the play with Ye Jingchuan.
Ye Jingchuan waited for a long time and didn't wait for Song Chuyi to speak, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, he felt more and more that he couldn't figure out Song Chuyi: "Didn't the first few **** ask me to help ask Uncle Guo Shi about your cousin?" Is something wrong, otherwise why are you in such a hurry? ”
Song Chuyi's heart moved, remembering that Mrs. Cui said that Ye Jingkuan was not in the capital recently, so she turned her head to look at Ye Jingchuan and asked, "Do you know where your brother went out of Beijing this time?" ”
Ye Jingchuan vaguely felt that he seemed to have caught something important, and the question that had been pondering in his heart for a long time involuntarily blurted out: "Is your family involved with the line outside the Guan? !" ”
The line outside the Guan, after so many years, no one said what kind of line it was, only knew that it was a line that turned stones into gold, and only knew that Duanwang and the Li family, the former Pingyang Marquis Mansion and the British Mansion were involved.
She lowered her eyes and sat on the round stool, looked at Ye Jingchuan and nodded: "Even if it is not involved, I am afraid that at this moment, there are people who want us to be involved." Do you know something? If so, can you tell me about it? I'm like a headless fly now, confused. ”
Ye Jingchuan sat opposite her with a serious expression and hesitated for a while, and then lowered his voice after a while: "My father and eldest brother didn't talk to me about this matter in detail, I only know that my brother only left Beijing after receiving the order, and as for the specific whereabouts, whether it is Datong or Xuanfu, I don't know very well." I heard that there were people selling war horses outside the customs, resulting in no horses available in the army...... My eldest brother is probably going to find out about this......."
Yes, here's the trick!
Yang Xuan, who was in charge of the war horse, happened to be Cui Shaoting's direct subordinate, and Cui Shaoting was promoted by Cui Shaoting in the first year of the trilateral general system and Emperor Jianzhang.
But even if the sale of war horses is related to Yang Xuan, Cui Shaoting is at most a sin of unclear understanding and negligence...... Could it be that there is a doorway here that she can't understand? For example, the beauty given to Cui Shaoting by the Yangzhou prefect, what role should she play?
She didn't dare to delay, and immediately set off to go back to Bofu, and went straight to Song Chengwei's study.
Cui Yingshu and Song Jue were both there, and Song Chengwei was asking them: "Mutual market?" Who came up with the idea that the cabinet received the excerpt? ”
Song Chuyi chuckled in her heart, the dark cloud that was still shrouded in her heart before suddenly dispersed, her mind seemed to explode a firework, and she jumped out of her thoughts for a while, and it took a while to find her voice: "Mutual market? Reopening the mutual market with Tatar? Who's on the excerpt? ”
The Great Zhou Dynasty also opened a mutual market with the Tatars, but later the horses sold by the Tatars were shoddy, and the Tatars used more robbery and stealing, which caused the border to complain, and the imperial court closed the mutual market.
Now there are people who want to renew the Tatar market....... In the case that Ye Jingkuan and Lai Chenglong, the governor of Jinyi Wei, have already gone to investigate the smuggling of war horses in the northwest?!
Cui Yingshu glanced at her and replied in a deep voice: "It's Yang Xuan's excerpt, and now it's still pressed on my teacher, and the cabinet hasn't passed it yet." ”
All doubts were solved.
This is a dead game that has been arranged a long time ago, just waiting for Cui Shaoting to enter the urn.
Song Chuyi gasped, took a look at Song Chengwei and Cui Yingshu and Song Jue who were looking at her, and hooked the corners of her mouth gloomily: "Grandfather, uncle, you said that if your cousin and uncle wrote a letter to agree with the mutual market...... What will happen? ”
Now that the situation in the north is tense and Tatar is eyeing each other, if the mutual market is re-promoted, the exchanges between the two sides can be strengthened, and perhaps the situation can be eased and the pressure on the northwest side can be reduced, Cui Shaoting may indeed agree.
"The teacher said that it was also a good idea. After all, now that the south has just fought the Japanese invaders, the treasury has spent a lot of ......." Cui Yingshu heard that Song Chuyi had something to say, and hesitated to say such a sentence, but was interrupted by Song Chuyi before he could finish speaking.
Song Chuyi shook his head and bit his lip to look at them: "This is not to please the saint, this is to give a talisman to himself, and even to the Cui family and the Song family." ”
The three of them were taken aback by her gloomy tone, and then reacted.
Song Chuyi's voice was very low, but in their ears, it was still tantamount to thunder on the ground, which frightened them so much that they almost couldn't stand.
"I heard that there are no horses available in the army in the northwest, and someone is smuggling war horses to the Tatars......" Song Chuyi stopped, his face was white for a while, and there was no difference between a dead man, and his flat tone was infinitely cold: "The Holy Lord has already sent Lai Chenglong and Ye Jingkuan out of Beijing to investigate." ”
Song Chengwei and Cui Yingshu both felt a cold sweat on their backs.
If this is the case, then Cui Shaoting, who wrote in favor of the mutual market, in the eyes of Emperor Jianzhang, will be Yang Xuan's accomplice and the culprit of smuggling war horses, and the beauty who was born outside the customs next to him will also be dug up by those who have been prepared for a long time, and even through the beauty sent by the former Yangzhou prefect, they may dig more, for example, Cui Shaoting has an affair with the Tatars and has many contacts with the Tatars, so it is necessary to promote the mutual market......
Good morning, it's raining here, and I don't feel like I can wake up at all today. In addition, thank you Wei Fengniang for the peace charm of the flower on the other side~~~ Everyone is happy today. (To be continued.) )
