Chapter 254: Threading
"Your Highness wants your courtiers to go to Jiangnan?"
In this quiet night, under this soft light, Zhou Yun has a smile on his face, and his demeanor is still the same as in the past, but it is a little different, Zhou Yun shows a different demeanor, Zhou Yun in front of him is no longer the little clever ghost Shen brother in the past, Zhou Yun has more confidence and calmness, a calm calmness, and the majesty of his young age looms.
Yutan didn't dare to bring out her sister's money like in the past, and her demeanor showed respect.
"The matter that the court wants to verify and its secrets, Ziqi is in charge of the dark cloud guard, and the officialdom in Jiangnan is guarding against him, so he poured sewage on him, the court can only punish him, and the edict will be sent tomorrow, Ziqi has some influence in Shilin, and there will be students who are upset for Ziqi, and the second sister will make good connections when she arrives in Jiangnan, and say inconvenient words for Ziqi."
Zhou Yun sighed and smiled, "This time I have to let the second brother be wronged, or I have to tarnish my reputation like this, Mrs. Fang has to help the second sister to make it clear, and the court will return her innocence sooner or later." β
Yutan listened attentively, "The prince wants me to socialize with the lady in the officialdom, and I, who is a sister-in-law, can help him fight grievances and say all the inconvenient words of the prince, but in this way, wouldn't it be a shame for the court." β
Yutan was a little suspicious in his heart, the emperor took great pains to summon him once, it was not so simple, if it was just Fang Ziqi who was wronged, the court would just appease her a few words, did these words tell her, the emperor made a start, and asked the prince to come out and talk to her, presumably there are some things that the emperor is not easy to say, and what she does is not so simple.
Zhou Yun smiled, "I know you're impatient to entertain those ladies. You just do it by the way, Fang Ziqi is a scholar in the end, and he is a high-ranking disciple of Mr. Song of Moquan Academy, Moquan Academy is fragrant, and the strings are endless, it is a pity that he can't take the imperial examination, but there are other opportunities in life. In the long run, Ziqi may not be able to leave his name in history. I hope Darkcloud will be reborn in his hands.
I have an idea that I haven't thought about it yet, and my father has agreed, so you can talk to Ziqi first. Let him help you with the details, use your identity, and use Ziqi's influence in Shilin to give clothes and medicine in Jiangnan. To help the poor people, you simply prepare to build the Royal Charity Hall. Take in orphans and do more good deeds, and let Ziqi send two people to help you do things. β
Zhou Yun smiled, "But I don't have any money for you, second sister, are you willing to do it." β
Yutan couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. Could this be the emperor's real purpose?
Yutan smiled and said, "Doing good deeds is also accumulating virtue, and the dowry of the courtiers can be taken out." Ziyi still has some savings, since it is the Royal Charity Hall. I have to do it a little more magnificently, I'm afraid it's not good if the scale is too small, the courtiers haven't done these things, I have to plan carefully, and I beg the prince to send a few more people to help me. β
The bright light injected a trace of warmth into his heart, Zhou Yun smiled, "How much money can you have for your dowry, since it is the Royal Charity Hall, there is no reason to only let you pay silver, I will help you calculate it, two hundred taels for a big mansion is enough, and it is not too good to have a good location, the servants are ready-made, a few thousand taels of silver are spread out first, all the ladies and ladies who donate, the court will give the title of a good person, what is the situation in Jiangnan or Ziqi is clear, let him help you, I will pay five thousand taels of silver first, and then see the situation later." β
Yutan couldn't help but laugh and said, "The courtier's dowry and silver can be dealt with, but the prince's silver is still collected first, and it is the same when the courtiers are not enough to ask the prince for it." β
Zhou Yun threw her a roll of the eyes, and she was flying off again in the old days.
The bright yellow clothes shone brightly under the light, reminding Yutan that she was facing the prince of the current dynasty.
"The prince's silver is all from the Li family, it is estimated that the marquis of Li will not dare to ask for it, it is better to hand it over to you to do good deeds, there are a few granges, shops, and two pieces of land in the south of the Yangtze River, and how much rent will not be confiscated if it is far away, I will give you the title deed, let Ziqi help check it, if the people are poor, it is okay, my properties are managed by the Zhang Shun family, you discuss with her, see how much you invest every year, and get a charter."
"Prince," Yutan felt excited in his heart, "The prince is merciful, and the blessing of all the people." β
"You're wrong, second sister." Zhou Yun snorted slightly, "What the prince wants to buy is reputation, what he spends is the Li family's silver, and what he is tired of is the Li family's aunt and grandmother, the prince is thick-skinned, and he wants to do the biggest thing with the least amount of blood, what I said is just foreshadowing, giving you a reason to stay in Jiangnan, and what really makes you do it is another thing." β
Zhou Yun's expression became stern, "My father and the emperor summoned you over tonight for this matter." β
Yutan's heart jumped, he glanced in the direction of the inner room, and leaned forward slightly, "The courtiers just obey the order." β
"The court wants you to help investigate the case, a while ago the Tang family shop burned, the Tang family shop is a den of gold write-off, the master who made the jewelry escaped together, the family members were wiped out, the three masters in the market, the three of them have twenty-six family members, the youngest is still a milk doll, a knife in the stomach died."
Yutan's mouth was half open, his heart was tightened, and when he heard such a heartbreaking thing, even his cold hair stood up.
Zhou Yun's expression was faint, "This bad account is counted on the head of Dark Yunwei, Dark Yunwei's small flag moves, this small flag is their person, and it is gone, I want to say that the master of the Tang family's workshop, the people behind the scenes are reluctant to let go of these craftsmen, they are all coerced, their skills will come out sooner or later, I want the second sister to pay attention to the newly created jewelry of the ladies, maybe I can find some clues." β
Yutan slowly recovered in shock, "I haven't bought gold jewelry at their house, and I don't have any success in my heart,"
"This is where they are cunning, the Tang family is not famous, their gold jewelry is facing a rich woman with some assets, such as the second sister looks down on their goods, I happen to have their gold jewelry in my hand, it was burned by the fire, this hairpin fell in the gap of the counter, and it was preserved."
Zhou Yun took out a golden hairpin from the brocade box and handed it over, after the destruction of fireworks, the hairpin head burned out of shape, Yutan took it and looked at the lamp, and sure enough, he saw the emblem of "Tang Ji" at the end of the golden hairpin.
Yutan looked at it carefully for a long time, "I have seen such gold jewelry, I have a few in my hand, it was my grandmother who gave me a box, and I wanted to rebuild it that year, Luo Ji's master said that the gold was not good, and I couldn't play the wire drawing process I wanted, and I still remember that Luo Ji's master seemed to know whose goods it was, and he looked down on him." β
Zhou Yun hurriedly asked, "Are those pieces of jewelry still there?" I remember that I had seen it too, and as soon as you said it, I remembered that the gold was a little black, presumably because it was impure. β
"The courtiers still take it, they look stupid, and it's not good to keep it for rewards."
Zhou Yun was overjoyed when she heard this, "You go back and find it out quickly, don't let your maid know, the Tang family is too related, if you can see something from the gold jewelry, it's good, you find it out and let your brother-in-law send it to me, we will discuss this matter in the long run, you wait for me to arrange it, I will send you back to rest first, and my brother-in-law is still waiting for you in the side hall." β
Zhou Yun hurriedly ended the topic, Yutan was slightly surprised, and then relieved.
Fang Ziyi was left in the palace tonight, he didn't know why, Zhou Yun took a team of little eunuchs and personally sent Yutan to the side hall and sent it to Fang Ziyi before coming back.
At this time, there was a half-curved moon hanging on the dark sky, the stars were hanging in the sky, and the shining stars were brighter than the light crescent moon, Zhou Yun felt that there was something rushing in his mind, and he wanted to grasp it, and the thoughts that had not yet formed in his mind were extremely chaotic.
Zhou Yun returned to the main hall, the emperor was still reading the chapter under the lamp, and looked up at the emperor and smiled, "Li Yutan has some guts, my father intimidated me, and those ministers in the court couldn't help it, Li Yutan is a big thing, but it's a pity that her daughter is gone, but Yun'er What did you think of?" Why don't you go on with her. β
Zhou Yun smiled when she heard it, "Yun'er suddenly had an idea, discuss it with her father first, Mo Ruo will also get the old lady of the Hou Mansion to Jiangnan, the old lady's temperament is hypocritical and greedy for money, she is dressed up in golden light, and she is full of great truth, she has to have people in the officialdom to give her gifts when she arrives in Jiangnan, and the charity hall will do more charity, and those imperial histories will also have more things to do." β
The Emperor laughed, "That's a bad idea. β
"This idea is not too rancid, Dark Yunwei collects things in the officialdom, there must be a lot of those who want to go through the old lady's door, she may be stronger than Li Yutan, after all, my second sister is a bit high-minded, and those who send Ah blocked things can't be put in her eyes."
Zhou Yun pondered and smiled, "I just said the old lady's jewelry, Yun'er suddenly remembered, those pieces of jewelry are old and bulky, just like the countrymen wear, the old lady was not favored in the early years, and there are a few kinds of jewelry that fill the faΓ§ade, and she likes fine, where will she choose the kind of coarse and stupid, if those gold jewelry are really made by the Tang family, it is a clue." β
The emperor's face was gloomy, "The Hou Mansion is still related to the people behind the scenes, Li Mingwei is really dishonest." β
"Maybe it's the old lady who got it through some channel, the foundation of her mother's family is in Changzhou, just not far from the Gude Temple, the Xuan family has long since declined, and it was also rich and noble in the early years, An Guogong continued to string, and found a Xuanjia woman from a concubine in Jiangnan, what is he trying to do."
The emperor put down Zhu Pi's imperial pen and became focused, "Yun'er, what do you want to say?" β
Zhou Yun smiled, "If I find a gold mine and don't have the ability to mine, I want to take refuge in a wealthy family, and drink some broth, the Tang family is backed by the Zhao family, the Lu family is involved, and the Liu family's companion room has found illegal gold ingots, the Lu family and the Liu family have declined, and they are all first-class rich and noble in the early years, and the children are not angry." β
Where exactly are the gold mines hidden? This is what the emperor has in mind. (To be continued) R640
