Chapter 53: Inquiry

Five days later, the first convoy arrived at the port of Qiongzhou, and with them came a large number of glazed-eyed, helpless-looking civilians, no one knowing what awaited them, for Qiongzhou was traditionally a place of exile, and the reason for this was of course related to what they saw when they disembarked.

In fact, not only those of them who had just arrived in Qiongzhou, but even Jiang Cai, who had not been away from Qionghai for more than a month, was a little surprised, just like people who were accustomed to a slow-paced life in later generations, they suddenly came to a big city and found that everything there was different from what they imagined, which is almost the same feeling.

On the one hand, the Ye family settled the complaint, and on the other hand, the war in Quanzhou was tight, and it was not good to suspend him from his post at this time, so he sent a letter to let him be questioned, and the candidate was of course Huang Yong, who had arrived in Qiongzhou.

"Senator Chen, why do you come to greet you in person?"

Before getting off the boat and taking a look at the changes under the rule, Chen Yunping greeted him, the two were not affiliated with each other, and they were not acquaintances, Jiang was a little surprised. However, the former was a little anxious on his face, and dragged him to the side, and he was stunned for a long time, as if there was something unspeakable.

"But the yellow squire has arrived?" Jiang Cai asked tentatively, he couldn't think of anything that Chen Yunping would say badly.

"Now that you know, then so-and-so said, Huang Qizhi has been here for a few days, and there is some temptation in and out of his words, he asked about the field, and is still inquiring about the origin of Huang Erniang, is there an incident in the east window?"

Jiang Cai was a little grateful for Chen Yunping's concern, he understood what the other party was worried about, if something happened to him, he would not be so concerned about it. It is the norm of officialdom for people to go to politics, and in that case, the development of Qiongzhou will be interrupted or even regressed, which Chen Yunping does not want to see.

"The senator can rest assured, he has received an order from Beijing, and he is looking for this Huang Shilang when he comes back, and he can explain anything clearly, and he has not yet reached that step."

Jiang Cai's words reassured Chen Yunping a lot, he knew that this type of questioning was actually a horse, after all, there would be much more room for maneuver in private, and when the time came, it would be enough to hand over a passable argument, and no Xiang Guild would send someone down for the second.

Because the conditions on the Lingao side are too poor, Huang Yong has always lived in Qiongzhou City, and he will only take a look at it every once in a while, anyway, there are others to do the specific things, he just needs to wait for the project to be completed.

Seeing that there was a thriving scene everywhere, and most of the things he confessed before leaving became a reality, Jiang Cai's mood was very happy, and he listened to Chen Yunping's introduction while walking, the latter was indeed attentive and completely regarded as his own career, which made Jiang Cai's favor even worse.

"Shangguan Rongyu, the slave was only fifteen years old when he escaped, where did he recognize Jiang Zhaofu, after arriving here, he had no plan to live, and he relied on Yiren to take him in, so he survived, except for Shangguan, the slave never talked to anyone, how could he get Jiang Zhaofu's head?"

"You mean, Jiang Zhaofu doesn't know your identity?"

Before they entered the lobby of the Zhaofu Division, the two heard a conversation in the hall, and a female voice was Huang Erniang, and the man who asked the question knew that it must be Huang Yong without thinking about it. Jiang Cai didn't wait for Erniang to answer, stepped forward quickly, and rushed in at once, but pulled Chen Yunping behind.

"Jiang knows about this, so let's let me answer the waiter's words."

The sudden voice surprised the two people in the hall, Erniang saw him with a happy face, Huang Yong also showed a smile, stood up and walked over, there was no one else in the hall except them, and it didn't look like a public interrogation, but like a family affair.

"Jiang Zhaofu, don't come unharmed."

"The squire is well."

Jiang Cai laughed, the two had actually met, it was after the Jiankang War, Huang Yong went to check the military exploits as a Xuanwei envoy, and some changes occurred in the middle, but there was generally no conflict, and he recognized Jiang Cai's military exploits.

"It was not the intention to take the liberty of coming to the door, but the court made a decree, and I had to ask according to the routine, if there is something abrupt, you are not surprised."

"Wherever the squire says, it's all for business, there's nothing abrupt or abrupt, not to mention that we will have to work together in the future, so we should be more close. When the port was opened over there, there would be little trouble, and the waiter came to the door in person, and Jiang Cai was really welcome. ”

The three men sat down in the hall with a polite look, Huang Erniang consciously acted as a maid, serving tea and water for them, Huang Yong saw that she did not shy away from suspicion, and secretly surprised in his heart, this is very different from the Jiangnan women he saw, it is estimated that this is exactly what suits Jiang Cai's old and rough taste, as for the appearance, it is too simple, he thought for a long time before finding such an adjective.

"Erniang's matter, there is another report in Beijing, this is what Jiang just received before he came, the waiter may wish to take a look."

After that, Jiang Cai handed him the edict sent by the cardinal's office, which made it very clear that the case of the fugitive had already been clarified. Theoretically, she is now a member of the Ye family, and the Ye family put a maid in Qiongzhou to prepare for the arrival of the second son in the house, and the so-called fugitives are all rumors.

Of course, Huang Yong knew that this was nonsense, and the owner of the family had just confessed to her, but the facts were there, even if it was forged, the former owner's family had no longer pursued it, so why should irrelevant people care? It's really a good means, the Buddha of Yefu is enough to cover him, solve this main contradiction, and the others are still problems.

"Erniang, congratulations."

Huang Yong didn't dwell on it any longer, and handed her the paperwork in his hand, and after a few days of contact, he knew that the other party was literate. Sure enough, after Huang Erniang saw it, she first couldn't believe it, and then cried with joy, after more than ten years of being a fugitive, now she finally has a saying that she is finally no longer a black household, this qiē is like a dream.

"The matter of the field, Jiang is strong." Jiang Cai waited for a while, and then said: "But there is no inside story, the landlord Wang family is suspected of being a bandit, and these properties should have been directly confiscated. ”

Since Jiang Cai confessed so frankly, Huang Yong also estimated that the case was not complicated, just to let the bandits not harm their property outside the city, the Wang family agreed to some of their conditions, sent some property, and so on. This is a common practice, can it be regarded or not, Jiang Cai's disposal, there is nothing inappropriate, let alone forcible occupation, Huang Yong nodded, and put the file on a few points.

"In this way, the matter will be clear, tonight will write a recital, and Fu Fu will also prepare a defense, and send it out together tomorrow, I expect that the princes will no longer do any more calculations, and they can do something with peace of mind."

After the scene, Huang Yong also felt a lot more relaxed, this is not a pleasant thing after all, if it is not good, it will affect the relationship between each other, he has no foundation here, everything has to rely on Jiang Cai, the chief official, it is better not to offend him, although he is high, he is not a pedantic person.

"I wonder what the squire thinks of Qiongzhou?"

"It's an eye-opener, but with so many projects rushing together, it seems that there is not enough manpower."

Huang Yong immediately saw the key point, the local population of Qiongzhou is too small, in fact, it cannot support such a large infrastructure project. But Liu Yu has no choice, the trade wind is approaching, there are more and more merchants, but there is very little time left for him, so he has to build a lot of construction, otherwise he won't even build a shed at that time, why should people believe you?

"Manpower, there are already eyebrows, this time I came back with a lot, and there will be many more in the future, waiter and rest assured."

"Oh, but Quanzhou"

Although Jiang Cai pretended to be mysterious, Huang Yong knew where he came from, and since this was the case, the source of the manpower was self-evident. Quanzhou is a wangzhou, with a population of more than 500,000, even if only one-fifth is sent, it is 100,000 people. Regarding his guess, Jiang Cai did not answer, and took the tea and saluted from afar, Huang Yong replied with a salute, and every qiē was silent.
