It was the night and the moon was in the sky, Ye Cizhun thought that he would be able to live with Su Yuming soon, and he was very happy, and he drank several glasses without waiting for Xue Chunyue's persuasion. After a while, he remembered that he was Chunyue and Qinyu Tianjiu, who knew that when he stood up, he felt dizzy and his limbs were heavy, he helped him to calm down, and suddenly understood, and exclaimed to Xue Chunyue, "You are-"

Seeing that Ye Cizhun was about to fall, Xue Chunyue hurriedly got up and held him up, and Ye Cizhun fainted in an instant.

Ye Qinyu looked at Ye Cizhun who was unconscious, and was also very flustered, "Chunyue, is this the only way?" ”

"Song Yaozhi is old, he can't control Taifu Temple, if King Xi wants to control Taifu Temple, he must use such a talent, as long as he walks out of our house, he will be tied back to King Xi's Mansion immediately, in order to give Zhun his current personality, I am afraid that he will not be willing to be used by him, then King Xi will naturally not let him go." Xue Chunyue said and asked someone to help Ye Cizhun back to the room, turned his head to Ye Qinyu and said, "I will go to Lingyun Peak immediately and ask the Pure Source Dao Master, you are optimistic about him." ”

Ye Qinyu nodded, watching Xue Chunyue disappear into the night.

Early the next morning, Ye Cizhun woke up in a hazy haze, Ye Qinyu hurriedly helped him up and brought a bowl of medicine to him, "Uncle Jung, you finally woke up, I didn't expect that your alcohol was so bad, and you were drunk in a few glasses." Come, drink this bowl of decanting soup. ”

Ye Cizhun took the decoction in a daze, and drank it obediently, but he felt that the taste was strange, and asked with a twisted eyebrow, "I have drunk the sobering soup dozens of times, why can't I drink this taste, what kind of medicine is this?" ”

Ye Qinyu took the empty bowl and asked Xinyan to take it before turning around and saying, "This is the decoction prepared by the Pure Source Daoist himself, which is beneficial to your old wounds." ”

"Pure Source Dao Chief? Oh, by the way, I'm going to leave for Luo'an, why haven't I gotten up until now, don't talk about it, I have to pack up quickly, set off now, hurry up, and I should be able to get to Luo'an tomorrow night. Ye Cizhun was about to struggle to get up as he spoke, but the dizziness on his head suddenly became strong again, and he fell down before he could get up.

Ye Qinyu hurriedly helped him down, tucked the corner of the quilt and said, "You haven't drunk yet, how can you have the spirit to hurry?" Rest for a while, it's not too late to set off later, Yu Ming has a large group of people from Tai Xiangxing to take care of in Luo'an, and the old department of Xiangwangfu under Yi'an, it will be fine, obedient. ”

The feeling of drowsiness on his head became more and more serious, and it was not Ye Cizhun's turn to be disobedient, and he soon fell asleep groggily. Ye Qinyu saw that he was breathing evenly and was already asleep, so he walked out.

Xue Chunyue calmed down when he heard Ye Cizhun fall asleep again outside the door, but he was a little worried, turned to Jingyuan and asked, "Dare to ask Dao Chief, will adding the medicine of lethargy to the healing medicine really not affect his body?" ”

"Master Xue and Master Ye, don't worry, this Ning Shen San is developed with ordinary herbs, which is harmless to people, and will not affect the efficacy of the healing medicine, nor will it harm the human body. But...... Ye Shizhu's old injury has been delayed for a long time, if he could have been treated with acupuncture and medicine, he would have recovered in less than a month, and now he is ...... Why does it take two or three months to break the roots, Poor Dao is only afraid that he will not be able to hide it for so long. ”

"If you can't hide it, you have to hide it, and if it's a big deal, lock him in this household servant's mansion! It's just that the chief of the road is going to stay in the lower mansion for a while. I have sent someone to clean up the Woyun Pavilion in the backyard, it is quiet and quiet, no one will disturb the Taoist, the Taoist will stay and thank you first. Xue Chunyue gave up his hand, and then sent someone to send Jingyuan over.

Before Jingyuan left, a small servant came to report, saying that Jingyang Hou had visited, and Xue Chunyue had to go out to greet him.

As soon as the Marquis of Jingyang saw Xue Chunyue, he went straight to the point, "Lord Xue, after the accident with Xiao'er, it is not the first time we have met to discuss matters, and now I will get straight to the point." ”

Xue Chunyue bowed, "Lord Cao, please take a seat, but it's okay to speak." ”

"After Xiao'er and Mrs. Ye fell into the water, we searched along the main stream and tributaries of the Beijiang River for several days, but we found nothing. Cao has taken leave from His Majesty and wants to rush to Binzhou in person to find out, and he will always see people in life and corpses in death. I came to your mansion this time to ask Lord Xue for an accurate word, in case my son has three longs and two shorts, will the Xue family bear this responsibility? ! ”

"This matter started because of my brother, and the Xue family is duty-bound. If Cao Shizi really had a case, he would definitely go back to Haizhou in person to ask his father, and he would definitely give an explanation to the Marquis of Jingyang. ”

"In this way, Cao will leave first." When the Marquis of Jingyang saw Xue Chunyue getting up to send, he stopped his pace, "Lord Xue stays." ”

Xue Chunyue couldn't, so he had to stay where he was and say goodbye. Seeing Jingyang Hou walking away, a trace of worry flashed on Xue Chunyue's face, Su Yuming was missing, how could he not be worried? Moreover, if Su Yuming really had three longs and two shorts, he would not be able to explain to Ye Cizhun and Master Su, but now in order to stabilize Ye Cizhun, he and Ye Qinyu had to pretend to be casual, and they were also very tormented.

Ye Cizhun slept for ten days and a half months, during which he didn't know anything about the outside world except for being awakened by Ye Qinyu to drink medicine. Fortunately, Su Yuming is very talented, and he has studied Hongqin's golden needle manuscript very thoroughly, and Ye Cizhun has been better for most of the time after acupuncture, and now Jingyuan is also handy with the method of pill medicine. Xue Chunyue and Ye Qinyu saw that the number and extent of Ye Cizhun's old illness were decreasing day by day, and they were finally a little relieved.

But the changes of the world, it seems that another cycle has passed, at the turn of this spring and summer, Wei Ying moved to the Duke of Qi, was appointed as the secretary of the order, in charge of decision-making, when the head of the hundred officials of the dynasty, the household temporarily by the deputy governor of the household department Xue Chunyue on behalf of the ministry. Taifu Temple was under the control of Li Jingfeng and Zhuang Kang, and Song Yaozhi, an old and indecisive leader, was almost all overturned.

Find Su Yuming and use Su Yuming to blackmail Ye Cizhun.

Xue Huijin's stupid thing in Beijiang made King Xi very annoyed, although Cao Yingze and Su Yuming jumped down the river by themselves, they couldn't count Xue Huijin's head, and Xue Huijin and the others withdrew quickly, and they didn't attract much attention, so this matter couldn't become a burden to King Xi for a while, but if Su Yuming really died, then what bargaining chips could he have to blackmail Ye Cizhun? For this reason, King Xi ordered Binzhou Dingtaihui to search for the traces of Su and Cao, and be sure to find people before Xue Chunyue.

The Marquis of Jingyang knew that he could not confront King Xi with his own strength, so he had no choice but to swallow this grievance and personally take people to Binzhou to find people. Xiao Tingxiu, the prince of Chu State, was not injured in the incident, so the Duke of Chu did not want to get involved, and originally wanted to bring Xiao Tingxiu back to Luo'an, but Xiao Tingxiu vowed not to go back until he found Cao Yingze, Xiao Hongming was worried that he would provoke a dispute with King Xi with his will, so he had to send Xiao Tingchu south to assist him in finding someone, and at the same time keep an eye on him to avoid trouble.

All of a sudden, Binzhou magnates gathered, and Shen Yue was busy with the war in Jingnan Province, and he had no time to serve these high-ranking nobles of Changxing and Luo'an, so he assigned Zheng Yiheng, the assassin of Binzhou, to receive everyone. Zheng Yiheng was originally a household division, belonging to the camp of King Xu, Wei Yingshi became the head of the household department and set up his power, after the fall of King Xu, Zheng Yiheng had no one to shelter, Wei Yingshi took advantage of the former Binzhou assassin Wang Yu was convicted and was dismissed to find a reason to demote him to Binzhou.

Zheng Yiheng and Xue Huijin are also old acquaintances, they hooked up with each other before the Haizhou nest case, and Xue Huijin also relied on the new Binzhou assassin history that Zheng Yiheng dared to set up such a situation against Su Yuming and others on the Beijiang River. Zheng Yiheng also wanted to use Xue Huijin as an intermediary to show favor to King Xi, so after Su Yuming and Cao Yingze disappeared, they had been lazy to deal with it, but now in a small Binzhou place, there are actually four factions of people such as King Xi, Chu Guogong, Jingyang Hou, and Xue Chunyue, the household servant, no matter which faction he offends, he can't eat and walk around, Zheng Yiheng can't help but sweat for himself.

The Beijiang River is the largest river in Jingnan Province, there are twenty or thirty tributaries that can be named, and there are many more that cannot be named, and Jingnan Province is located in the hilly land of Lingnan, the mountains are dense and dense, and the tributaries turn back and forth in the winding mountains, and it is impossible to search the whole territory of the main stream in a short time by manpower alone.

In the blink of an eye, it was ten and a half days, and Xue Chunyue almost swept up the first quarter of Jingnan Province and Haidong Province, and finally collected the three million taels of silver that Emperor Hongyuan wanted, of which 2 million were used to support the military expenses of Guanzhou, and 1 million taels were allocated to Xingbei Province, the Ministry of Industry, the Dushui Supervisor, Sinong Temple and other departments and yamen to deal with the spring drought in Xingbei Province.

Fortunately, Li Jingfeng and Zhuang Kang have properly dotted the various franchises, and the salt, iron and copper franchises have all lost and equalized the tribute taxes in kind, so the emperor's treasury silver will be continued, otherwise the imperial court will not even be able to issue the money of hundreds of officials in the world.

Li Jingfeng and Zhuang Kang's talents are vividly displayed at this critical juncture, among which Li Jingfeng was born in Luo'an's scholar family, and he was favored by Emperor Hongyuan, and intended to promote him to the new head of the Taifu Temple, so that the current Taifu Temple Secretary Song Yaozhi became a stumbling block, and Emperor Hongyuan wanted to remove him several times, but he was repeatedly blocked by Song Huifei's soft words, so he relented.

But the elderly Song Yaozhi has no achievements in this position, and he has no achievements, he can't suppress Li Jingfeng and Zhuang Kang at all, if you want to keep the vested interests of Taifu Temple and prevent Li Jingfeng and Zhuang Kang from encroaching on the power of Taifu Temple, you must quickly find a person who can replace Song Yaozhi to stabilize the country, King Xi thinks about it, and now except for Ye Cizhun, he can't find a second person. He wanted to use Su Yuming to coerce him, but Su Yuming was still like a stone sinking into the sea and had no news, so he had no choice but to rob him.
