Chapter 367: Prayer
Since returning to Luyang, Chen Xiaoting's life has been much easier.
He even had time to find Cai Hong and ask about the transfer envoy Yamen, who told him that he had not found any progress, and then he would not be able to do so.
Can't find out...... This is nothing unusual.
It's not that Jinyiwei's ability is not good, but many things are not black and white, and whether you want to check it more seriously depends on the meaning of the above.
In the following days, the people of the Thousand Households were fully engaged in fighting the White Lotus Sect, not expecting that a crisis was coming.
On August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Shen family wanted to go to the temple outside the city to pray for blessings.
However, when Shen Yue was really ready, a sedan chair came to the outside of Shen Mansion.
Cao Yunchun, the eunuch guarding Yongxi Town, looked up at the gate of the Shen family after getting out of the sedan chair.
At this time, Xu Xuan, who had already been taken under his command, said respectfully beside him: "Father-in-law, without further ado, we should go in!"
Xu Xuan had already taken out the driver's post, so at this time, the gate of the Shen family was still open, and Shen Yue himself also appeared at the door.
"Father-in-law Cao is here, Shen is not welcome, please come in!" Shen Yue said with a smile.
Although this Gonggong Cao was not as favored as Huang Ting, Shen Yuetou did not dare to snub him, because the identity of the eunuch alone was not inferior to him.
Now that Huang Ting has gone back to recuperate, Cao Yunchun can come to places like Yongxi to preside over the situation, and the energy behind it will never be small.
Although there was a major emergency, Cao Yunchun still said unhurriedly on his face: "Lord Shen is really happy, and now he is hiding in the mansion!"
Shen Yue smiled and replied, "How dare the lower officials be idle, and how can they be idle...... This is not the place to talk, father-in-law, please! ”
No matter how much he said at the door, it was nonsense, and after Shen Yue said please come in for the second time, Cao Yunchun also followed Shen Yue into the mansion.
The two of them go in and out together, I don't know how many pairs of eyes will be attracted to Yongxi, they are the barometer of the entire Yongxi civil and military officialdom.
After entering the living room, serving fragrant tea, and retreating left and right, Shen Yue asked, "My father-in-law is here, I don't know what happened?"
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, if it weren't for something important, Cao Yunchun would never come over at this time.
At this time, I heard Cao Yunchun say: "Lord Shen, there are riots and riots in various health offices, and there is a big mess!"
The army has always been supervised by the East Factory, so Jinyiwei will be slow to hear this news.
But after listening to Cao Yunchun's words, Shen Yue was not as anxious as him, but was thinking about the purpose of Cao Yunchun's trip.
But Shen Yue still took the initiative to ask: "Gonggong Cao, what happened, there were riots in the guards everywhere?"
After Cao Yunchun sighed, he said: "It's not because of the food, the latest news of our family, the food has been underpaid in the past two months, and the most has reached thousands of stones!"
Although half of the guards are self-sufficient, so there are many arrears in salaries, but the food is really not to be delayed.
Everyone has to eat, and if there is no food, let alone a riot, it is not impossible to start a rebellion.
"Two months? It's been so long? Shen Yue was surprised.
Cao Yunchun took a sip of the teacup and said, "The commander below tried his best to suppress the news, and concealed the ...... of the capital above."
"Our East Factory is understaffed and can't monitor all aspects, so we haven't found out until now!"
Having said this, Cao Yunchun couldn't help scolding: "These people in the guard are really damned!"
Shen Yue said: "The officials of the health center deserve to be damned for deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and the moths in the yamen are even more damned for being transferred!"
Hearing Shen Yue say this, Cao Yunchun regretted it greatly, he should have insisted on strictly inspecting the transfer envoy Yamen before.
At the beginning, in order to establish prestige, and then Sun Yaolin's death made Jinyi Wei check the transfer envoy Yamen, and later after achieving the goal, there was no follow-up.
Who would have thought that such a big problem would arise in this yamen.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yue said again: "Gonggong Cao, since it is because of the grain matter, you can let the people in the Yamen supply food as soon as possible!"
Cao Yunchun put down the teacup and said helplessly: "The problem is here, the transfer makes the yamen unable to transfer enough food, and there is a shortage of food!"
Shen Yue secretly said no wonder, and then asked, "Why did the father-in-law find Shen?" I don't have any food for my father-in-law! ”
This matter is a trouble, Shen Yue can't be contaminated, but he doesn't care about it.
I heard Cao Yunchun say: "What are you talking about, Lord Shen, our family is here to ask you for help!"
"Our family has sent people to surround the yamen, but these people are extremely cunning, and there is no capable person under our family, so I want you to send someone to investigate!"
Cao Yunchun said so much, this is his plan for this trip.
If he really wants to hand over the trouble to himself, Shen Yue will not easily agree.
This investigation is different from the last time, such a big case is likely to implicate a large number of people, and he, Shen Yue, is unwilling to help Dongchang as a shield.
So Shen Yue said, "Gonggong Cao, do you know...... Shen has been busy digging out the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves in recent days, but he has no heart! ”
Cao Yunchun expected that he would be hindered, but he said calmly: "Lord Shen, do you really want to ask for the secret decree that His Majesty gave to the old slave before you agreed?"
Cao Yunchun has a secret purpose? Shen Yue was shocked when he heard this, and then secretly scolded these eunuchs for being treated so well, and they still had a secret decree when they came out.
Do you want Cao Yunchun to show her will? This was a problem for Shen Yue, but it left no room for both sides.
While Shen Yue was thinking, Cao Yunchun also observed him, and there was already anger in his eyes.
If Shen Yue really doesn't cooperate, then this Liang Zi will take it today, and when he sends a letter to Dongchang, he can make the entire Shen family uneasy.
In the end, Shen Yue's eyes met Cao Yunchun, only to hear him speak: "Gonggong Cao, you don't need to take the secret decree, we are all running errands for the emperor, and we should help each other!"
Hearing this, Cao Yunchun smiled and said, "Lord Shen, that's right!"
Shen Yue nodded and said, "In this matter, Shen will gather his subordinates, and ask my father-in-law to cooperate more when the time comes!"
To achieve the goal, Cao Yunchun laughed and said, "That's nature!"
…………
In the backyard of the Shen family, Chen Xiaoting stood outside the door with a knife.
At this time, a small servant came to him and whispered: "My lord, the master said that he is not going, let the four ladies go by themselves!"
Chen Xiaoting nodded and waved his hand to let the little guy go down.
That's right, this time he was named again, responsible for the protection of this trip.
Since returning from Liangzhou, Chen Xiaoting's role has undergone subtle changes, mainly reflected in his tasks.
Similar to the opportunity to serve in the Shen Mansion, there are many more opportunities than before, which makes Chen Xiaoting have a feeling of turning from the first line to the second line.
Walking into the courtyard, Chen Xiaoting came to the outside of a room and said inside, "Madame, Miss...... My lord just came with the news, saying that he can't go to the temple today, so let the lowly escort Mrs. Miss over! ”
After a while, a voice from inside said, "Got it!"
Then Chen Xiaoting retreated and returned to the convoy outside, at which time Shen Yue's carriage had been withdrawn.
And in the inner room, Wang Siniang complained: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, what's so anxious, let your father not go!"
After Shen Yi helped Wang Siniang sort out the tiara, she said: "Mother, if my father has his business, we will do our business!"
Going to the temple to pray for blessings is the top priority for Shen Yi.
The memory of the sword and shadow of the last incident is still there, which makes Shen Yi feel uneasy all the time, and going to the temple to pray is the sustenance to appease her soul.
