Chapter 52: Asking for Nothing (2)

Now that Su Qi has been pardoned and is free, if he really has an accident, he should be able to arrange for Su Qi's father and son to send her away in advance, the world is so big, there is always a safe place to stay, even if the great cause can't hide, according to Su Qi's ability, why is it difficult to move to Silla at home!

Moreover, Ye Qinyu's words also woke him up, instead of worrying about the future, it is better to cherish the present, what Chunyue can figure out, why has he been drilling the horns of the bull all the time, it is really ridiculous to think about himself.

Between the walks, the three of them came to the Lingyun Peak River Valley, Ye Cizhun was still hesitating, Ye Qinyu and Xinyan had already stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a long time but didn't see the door, Ye Qinyu was puzzled, and Xinyan suddenly found that the door was hidden, so he pushed it open and walked in.

"Second lady, you see that this garden is barren, I'm afraid that no one has lived in it for a long time."

When Ye Cizhun heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to check, and sure enough, the water tank in the courtyard had dried up, the stove had been covered with dust, and it had been uninhabited for at least ten days and a half.

Ye Qinyu looked at Ye Cizhun anxiously, "Uncle Jung, does anyone else know here?" Does Xue Huijin know? ”

"Impossible......"

Ye Cizhun was a little flustered, and walked into the thatched hut in three or two steps, only to see that the furnishings in the house were as old, clean and tidy, and there was no trace of struggle.

He hurriedly opened it, and Su Yu Mingjuanxiu's handwriting came into view, it was actually a farewell letter, and she had already left......

It's not Jingyang, it's not Haizhou, it's not an outlying island, Su Yuming only said in her heart where she wouldn't go, but she didn't tell him where she was going! When he saw the last sentence "I hope you cherish it, don't read it", Ye Cizhun lost control of his emotions and twisted the letterhead in his hand into a ball.

She actually said goodbye!

Ye Cizhun's face was pale, and his hands were white and trembling with his fists.

Ye Qinyu dug out the book from her hand and read it carefully, "She doesn't go to these places...... Where else can she, a weak woman, go......"

It was he who was negligent and devoted himself to the matter of Goguryeo, and even let her slip away from under his nose!

After Ye Cizhun left Lingyun Peak, he was about to find Jing Zhaoyin to borrow someone to investigate, and he didn't want to be intercepted by King Xi's people as soon as he came down the mountain, so he forced himself to calm down, and first sent Ye Qinyu back to the Hubu Shilang Mansion, and then calmly went to the appointment.

King Xi was waiting for him in the annex on the outskirts of the city, and when Ye Cizhun arrived, he was leisurely feeding the koi in the pond, and after a while, he patted the remaining fish food in his hand, and looked at Ye Cizhun who was kneeling on the ground faintly, "Lord Ye, please get up, in the past year, you have done a good job in Taifu Temple, and you are strong." ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty and the prince, the errand went well."

"Smooth is smooth, but I don't see how smooth the people of this king are in Taifu Temple." King Xi stared, and his tone suddenly turned sharp.

"Taifu Temple is the affairs of the Ministry of Households, and all personnel scheduling must be transferred to the hands of Lord Wei, the head of the Ministry of Households, Lord Wei has always been rigorous, and I don't want to show it too obviously, so as not to avoid the suspicion of Lord Wei. However, I have persuaded Xue Chunyue to move Xihexing to Jingyang Mansion in Jingnan Province according to your intentions, and rely on Jingnan Province to make Lord Song continue to operate and expand. ”

"Oh, yes, my grandfather told the king about it. However, Xi Hexing's funds have not become the backing of this king's expansion of power, I want to ask, where did all the money earned by Xi and Xing go? ”

"Xihexing has always been competing with Dingtaihe, and it is not easy to cannibalize Dingtai and such an industry leader, and there is almost no money left over these years. Moreover, Xi Hexing is still Xue Chunyue's in the final analysis, and the business situation and capital flow in it cannot be fully controlled by the minister. ”

King Xi was noncommittal, Xue Chunyue was a member of the Xue family in Haizhou after all, and it was understandable that it was difficult to get in touch, so he no longer dwelled on this issue, and instead asked about the new candidate for land and water transfer.

"The lower officials are bold, the water and land transfer makes this black veil, I'm afraid it will not be easy to wear now."

"What do you mean?"

"When the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows, this is the principle of nature. The biggest effect of equalizing losses is that it can gather a large amount of assets in a short period of time, but in the long run, it hurts the accumulation of private wealth, and it is an act of the imperial court borrowing power in its hands to compete with the people for wealth, which will inevitably cause problems. Transferring back makes this position difficult to sit. ”

After listening to Ye Cizhun's analysis, King Xi finally nodded.

"Therefore, it is inconvenient for the minister to recommend the prince in front of His Majesty, so as not to hurt the reputation of the prince."

"But no matter what, this position must not fall into the hands of King Xu."

"That's nature."

Seeing that Ye Cizhun was calm and answered, he didn't look like a person with different intentions, so King Xi put away his doubts about him and let him go home.

In order to preserve his strength, King Xi ignored Ye Cizhun during the three years he was demoted from the island, and even knew that King Xu intended to harm him and did not come to the rescue, which had already made Ye Cizhun feel cold, and now that he has returned to the dynasty, it is difficult for the relationship between the two to return to the beginning.

Ye Ci bid farewell to Queen Xie Xi, and hurried all the way to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion to discuss the search for Yu Ming.

For more than ten days, there was no trace of Yu Ming, and she seemed to have evaporated from the world. Ye Cizhun gradually lost his patience, almost stumbled, and was grabbed by King Xu.

The matter of the horse stumbling on the front hoof still happens in the matter of losing evenly. The significance of losing evenly lies in transferring a certain kind of tribute tax from a place where the material is abundant and cheap to a place where the material is sold at a high price in order to obtain a huge profit. Both Gangnam and Jingnan provinces produce grain, tea, and cloth, and those of high quality are shipped to places with high prices for sale, or exported directly at ports, even if the transportation costs are high, but they can also make huge profits.

The poor quality of the tribute tax is not suitable for transportation to prosperous places with long distances, because the transportation cost is high and the profit is low, so it is generally transported to the adjacent provincial government where there is a shortage of materials to meet the rigid needs.

Located in the east of Guannan Province and west of Jiangnan and Jingnan provinces, Yidi Detention Prefecture has become a centralized sales place for grain, tea and cloth of medium and low quality in the above three provinces.

Although the ethnic minorities here have occasional conflicts with Daye, they have long maintained friendly relations with Daye, and their lords are also called Thorn Shi or county orders, but they are not subordinate to each other, and their lordship is given by the emperor of Daye State, which can be hereditary, and Daye State has the obligation to protect the inheritance rights and property rights of its orthodox heirs.

However, the equalization officials of the imperial court were involved in a battle for inheritance rights in one of the areas of the prefecture, and the orthodox heir of the canonization of the Great Cause State went to Changxing to cry to Emperor Hongyuan, pointing out that the equalization agency set up by the imperial court in Jingnan Province colluded with the rebel forces in his clan and became the main source of funds and materials for the rebels, in an attempt to usurp the throne.

The territory of the ministry is not large, but it involves the majesty of the imperial court, as well as the people's hearts in the state, Emperor Hongyuan still attaches great importance to it, so he quickly filled the vacancy of the Taifu Temple Shaoqing and the water and land transfer envoy, and fully cooperated with the Dali Temple to investigate the matter.

The new Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, unexpectedly, is actually the son of Wei Yingshi, Wei Shaoqing, who has been promoted to the rank of the military department.

Everyone said that Wei Shaoqing was able to hold this position, which was completely due to the favorable time, place and people.

The Wei family has been working in Guannan Province for a long time, and has been in contact with the departments of Guannan Province adjacent to Guannan Province, so they are very familiar with related affairs. Although this case is from the Equalization Division, it is still a tribal infighting in essence, so the fundamental solution to the problem is diplomatic coordination, not fiscal and tax adjustment.

Ye Cizhun and Xue Chunyue, as the chief and deputy governors of Taifu Temple at the time of the incident, naturally could not stay out of the matter and became the primary targets of King Xu's camp. In order to appease the anger of the public, Emperor Hongyuan suspended the powers of Ye Cizhun and Xue Chunyue for the crime of lax supervision, and made a decision after the investigation results of Dali Temple.

Yuan Su, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Xue Peiqi, the young secretary of Dali Temple, suddenly became the focus of attention of the court.

Wei Shaoqing was about to leave far away, and he came to the Household Servant Mansion to say goodbye to Ye Qinyu.

Xue Chunyue was generous in this regard, but instead of interfering, he gave up the study room of himself and the political hall to the two of them, and retreated to the side hall to wait.

Wei Shaoqing is here, in fact, there is one more thing. Yuan Su, the secretary of Dali Temple who had just arrived, was the general who rescued Ye Qinyu on the outskirts of Luo'an more than ten years ago. Yuan Su was released as an official for a long time, and he was transferred to the Hui Dynasty when Emperor Hongyuan rectified the household department, the criminal department, and the party atmosphere of Taifu Temple and Dali Temple, which was not much different from the time when Wei Ying returned to the court. Wei Shaoqing was transferred to Dali Temple as his deputy, so he came to visit, the two talked about the robbery of the village more than ten years ago, Yuan Su told him some details, Wei Shaoqing felt different, and came to discuss with Ye Qinyu.

"I was young at the time, so I don't remember many details. We all thought that the guards of the Jingwang Mansion accidentally revealed your identity, and the thief opened his mouth and asked for a price. But according to Lord Yuan, he learned from a captured small boss that they seemed to know your identity and itinerary early on, so they set up an ambush and captured you alive. But it's a pity that all the thieves in the cottage died in the battle, and in the end, there was no evidence, so they could only take the confession of the guards, so they couldn't do it. ”

Ye Qinyu was shocked, "I came from Haizhou, and I didn't make any publicity all the way, how did they know my identity, and they also learned about the itinerary and set up an ambush?!" Did Lord Yuan remember wrongly? ”

"That little boss was captured by Lord Yuan's personal soldiers, and when he was captured, he knew everything for his life, and Lord Yuan heard it with his own ears, so there should be no mistake. It's just that those who were captured alive later all died in stray arrows or scuffles, and they couldn't confront each other. ”

Ye Qinyu felt a chill in his heart, and he was distracted for a while before he said, "Brother Wei, I suddenly have a strong feeling that that amnesia may have saved my life......

"What do you mean......"

"Didn't I tell you that since I was rescued and woke up, I forgot about what happened in Haizhou? Since that catastrophe was deliberately done by someone, that is, someone wanted to take my life in order to cover up some things I saw or heard in Haizhou, but I only stopped when I saw that I had amnesia, and I was sheltered by the Jingwang Mansion, and there was nowhere to start......"

Ye Qinyu suddenly shuddered in his heart, what was there in the forgotten memory that made some people so jealous......
