Chapter 203: Secret Visit
Half a month later, after the great drought in the north, there were locust plagues one after another, countless fertile fields, no harvest, almost to the point of starvation all over the wilderness, and even in some places there was a situation of changing children and eating, and the local officials opened the granary and only coped with it for a few days, and then they were helpless and could only report to the imperial court.
Tens of thousands of people were affected by the disaster, and the emperor summoned the ministers of the court and the central government every day to discuss countermeasures, and transferred the grain stocks from the surrounding provinces to the emergency response, but it was only a drop in the bucket. During this period, there were traffickers who abducted and sold young girls who took advantage of the opportunity to be active, and there were many victims, and Long Yan was furious, and sent people to thoroughly investigate those who took advantage of the natural disaster to do wrongdoing, and it was necessary to bring the culprits to justice.
On the surface, a lot of people were sent out, and the special disaster relief ministers all arrived at the most severely affected places in batches, and in private, Long Wei was also ordered by the emperor to secretly investigate the leader of the abduction and trafficking of girls, Qi Ziyu received the order, did not dare to delay, and immediately arranged for people to prepare to set off, and this time with his experience of following the emperor for so many years, it is necessary to deal with it himself.
But this trip will definitely not come back in a short time, Qi Ziyu was packing his luggage, thinking about the departure route and the layout of the staff, and Yan Yiyun didn't notice it when he entered the house, until he heard her voice.
"Where are you going?"
"If you have a mission, I'll be back in a few days." Qi Ziyu didn't pause in his hand, he just looked up at her and said, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he could only tell the truth.
"Is this a tricky task? Need you to go? Yan Yiyun naturally understands Qi Ziyu's identity, but as the leader of Longwei, he has always been in charge of arranging arrangements, and it is rare to see him traveling, and now things need him to do it himself, which must be very difficult, and he can't help but worry a little when he thinks of this.
"It's not very tricky, it's just that the saint values this matter, so I thought that I might be able to go faster, and let them go maybe let the people behind the scenes run away." Qi Ziyu didn't dare to say what he really guessed. Just to calm her heart.
"Then I'll go with you." Yan Yiyun said categorically, without waiting for Qi Ziyu to stop her, she went to tell Biliu and Su Rui to help her pack her bags, and only briefly selected a few changes of clothes. No jewellery was carried, and silver coins were replaced with inconspicuous weights.
"No! Don't mess around, you'll be in danger if you follow. Qi Ziyu hurriedly stopped him when he heard this, but Yan Yiyun ignored him, and only gave careful instructions to Bi Liu, who started to move.
"Luo Jin. You can't go with me! If there is anything, I'm afraid ......" Qi Ziyu frowned, and pulled Yan Yiyun to say, this time he went north, he didn't have any positions and matters on the surface, so there were no guards in the regulations, only Long Wei was also investigating the case in secret, and he would not protect him, but only he had the power to protect himself. But if you add one, there are too many variables.
"What are you afraid of? Since you won't let me go, it proves that this task is tricky and dangerous, so you're afraid that I will be hurt, right? Don't lie to me! I'm not stupid and always know what I want to know! Yan Yiyun turned to look at Qi Ziyu and asked.
"Yes, I'm not sure who the other party is, whether it's dangerous or not, but I'm worried about you, if it's just me. I can protect myself in any situation, but with you, I have to worry all the time, you are my weakness. It's also my worries! ”
Qi Ziyu nodded helplessly, she never played cards according to common sense, if it was an ordinary woman, she would definitely ask endlessly, or cry and cry, but she used this method to force out her truth, but as she said. There was always a way for her to know.
"But I can protect myself! Don't underestimate me, since the last time I was injured, I haven't let go of my martial arts, I've been practicing hard, this time you let me go with you, maybe I can help you! Yan Yiyun didn't stop talking, and he didn't mean to dispel his thoughts at all.
"No! I now suspect that the people behind the scenes are colluding with people inside the court, if I am not there, you can still show up to quell the rumors, and even I have already thought of the reason, just say that my old injuries have recurred, and I am recuperating in the palace, but if we leave at the same time, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the other party. Qi Ziyu saw that it didn't make sense, so he changed to another method.
"Your old injury has recurred, naturally Qi Mansion is going to close the door, and I don't have to show up! You just take me there, I promise not to cause you trouble, and I can help you with advice, if you don't want to say, I'll just go out and stroll, don't ask you more about things, okay? Yan Yiyun continued to beg softly, and her backhand turned into her pulling Qi Ziyu's sleeve and not letting go.
"There is nothing left of the victims in that place! If you feel bored of staying in the capital, why don't you wait for me to come back and take you south to enjoy the scenery of the south? Qi Ziyu has always had no choice about her, but this time she was really afraid of any accidents, so she changed her mind and persuaded her.
"You must have been away for a long time, and when you come back, it's cold, and it's almost the end of the year, how can you go out to play! You're talking about going to the north, I've heard about the locust plague, maybe I can do something to prevent it! As long as you take me, I'll tell you! Ziyu, take me there! ”
"There is no way for the Manchu Dynasty to be civil and military, what can you do, there are disaster victims over there, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable to see it, I am investigating the case again, not traveling, what can you do!" Qi Ziyu sighed, she was actually very twisted in her bones, and she made up her mind to go all the way to the black, no matter how she persuaded her, she said helplessly.
"I can accompany you, you will be in a better mood when you come back from investigating the case every day, and if you are gone for so long, I will definitely miss you, and I will be worried, I can't sleep, I can't eat, and someone will take advantage of your absence to come to me to trouble, what should I do!" Yan Yiyun looked at Qi Ziyu with pitiful eyes, a pair of big eyes blinked and blinked, gradually reddening, Qi Ziyu suddenly softened, and when she heard her words again, she was even more confused, but she still said in a hard voice.
"The girl of the ghost elf! Who knew I wasn't there to come and trouble you! Besides, can you be bullied casually by the title of Mrs. Yipin? Don't try to make me soft-hearted, it's useless to pretend to be pathetic! ”
"If you don't let me go with you, I'll follow quietly, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to know where I am, so you might as well keep me by your side, right? The husband ...... "Yan Yiyun was unrelenting, and she flattered her in a soft voice, and finally even used the killer weapon."
"Call again." Qi Ziyu was instantly pleased by this title, and looked at her with sparkling eyes and said. (To be continued.) )
