"Okay."

Qi Yuan nodded, after so long, he has never been in contact with Lao Qi, and he doesn't know how he is now.

"Take Little Nineteen with you."

Yin Qingqi shook her head, "I inadvertently let her hear it that day, and she had to go with me noisily." ”

"You...... How can you let Little Nineteen know about this? ”

Qi Yuan sighed, that little nineteen is still young, innocent and lively, and his mouth is not solid, maybe one day he will spread the matter.

"Why can't I know?" Xiao Nineteen put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, entered the room and looked around left and right, and then sat on the bed.

"Big brother, what you said is not authentic."

Qi Yuan looked at her a little helplessly.

Xiao Nineteen became more and more watery, and a pair of big eyes looked at him smartly.

Qi Yuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly called Xiao Nineteen to his side.

"Come, Nineteen, come here, I'll ask you something."

"In a few days, your sister-in-law and I will go out for a few days, you stay in the palace for a long time, if something really happens, go to supervise the imperial history, do you hear clearly?"

"Overseeing the Imperial History?" Little Nineteen pursed his lips, "Who?" ”

"Lin Anmin."

Qi Yuan really couldn't laugh or cry at Xiao Nineteen's energy, and there was nothing he could do about her.

"Little Nineteen, you take these words to heart."

Yin Qingqi pulled Xiao Nineteen to his side.

"I'll tell you, this is not a joke, besides, there have been many strange things in the capital recently, you have to be careful to let the monster eat your nose."

As he spoke, Yin Qingqi reached out and wiped Xiao Nineteen's nose.

"Imperial sister-in-law."

Xiao Nineteen's face was helpless, "You and I are still a child, tell me these ghost stories, no matter how I say that I am also an adult, I can help my eldest brother govern the government." ”

"Nonsense."

Yin Qingqi frowned, "You are a girl, what are you doing with those things." ”

"But I really want to help my eldest brother." As he spoke, he glanced in Qi Yuan's direction.

Qi Yuan just shook his head, looking helpless.

If he had a choice, Qi Yuan would rather be born in an ordinary people's family than in the inner courtyard of this deep palace.

Therefore, like Yin Qingqi, Qi Yuan didn't want Xiao Nineteen to get involved in these things, so as not to be targeted by the sixth elder brother in the end.

"I promise you to take you to see your seventh brother."

Yin Qing

Qi whispered, "However, you must listen to your eldest brother, during the time of our absence, stay in the palace and don't go anywhere." ”

"Where are you going?" Xiao Nineteen asked curiously.

Yin Qingqi and Qi Yuan glanced at each other, and saw Qi Yuan nodding helplessly.

"Nanzhao Kingdom." Qi Yuan knew that if she didn't tell this little girl, she would not give up no matter what.

"Nanzhao? Is it fun there? ”

Xiao Nineteen's age and experience, naturally he has never heard of this kind of place.

"It's not fun, it's dangerous."

Thinking of this, Yin Qingqi was also a little worried, "It's just that your brother and I are going to do a big thing, and when we come back, we will bring you a gift, okay?" ”

"Okay."

Little Nineteen nodded repeatedly.

When Yin Qingqi finished grooming and changed into an ordinary one, he followed Qi Yuan and Xiao Nineteen out of the palace.

walked all the way to Yin Hou's Mansion, talking and laughing, not for the time being.

Yangzhou City.

"Did you ask anything?"

Xue Tan looked at Chen Dongshan with a sad face.

"Well, it's all useless nonsense." Chen Dongshan shook his head.

"I think these two people are also being used, they don't seem to have seen Concubine Shu, but a person who claims to be Concubine Shu came to report the news, and asked her to quietly report to Governor Lu when you and Chang Lei arrive in Yangzhou, and Governor Lu will naturally deal with it."

"Gave her a large sum of silver?"

Xue Tan knew that for people like the old bustard, silver was more important than everything.

"Hmm."

Chen Dongshan nodded, "What was found in the back seat of the carriage was a full thousand taels of snowflake silver. ”

"Heh, it looks like you've made a lot of money." Xue Tan's face was cold, he didn't expect this person to give so much money in order to deal with himself.

"Since it wasn't made by Concubine Niangniang, it seems that it is the sixth elder brother." Chang Lei interjected on the side, picking up a piece of silver and looking it up and down.

"These six elder brothers' family backgrounds are deep enough, and I have never seen so much money in my life for the sake of the two of us."

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to take care of the prince's reward." Chen Dongshan quipped.

"But then again, how do you spend that money?"

"Use it for military expenses and disaster relief."

Xue Tan also made a decision just now.

"The people have suffered heavy losses in this war, and with such a prefect coming again, I'm afraid it won't

How much silver taels will be used for reconstruction, this money will be distributed by yourself. ”

Chen Dongshan nodded and agreed to his idea.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door. Chen Dongshan frowned, who was so bold as to break into the General's Mansion privately, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates over to ask what was the matter. After inquiring, I learned that the prefect of Nalu led a group of people to ask Chen Dongshan for someone.

"Someone?"

Chen Dongshan only felt very funny at this time, "I think that Governor Lu is afraid that he is crazy and dares to come to me?" ”

"Let's go, go out and have a look."

Xue Tan and Chang Lei glanced at each other, got up and went out. Chen Dongshan followed.

"Oh, two criminals." From the first glance of seeing the two, Lu Jing's mouth was not clean.

"You two criminals, think you'll be fine if you hide in the General's Mansion? General Chen, at this time, the evidence is conclusive, what crime should you be guilty of harboring the suspect? ”

"What's the crime?" Chen Dongshan sneered, "Do you know who the two of them are?" ”

"One, it's the celebrity next to the prince, and the other is the general who suppressed Dong Zhe at the beginning, Xue Tan."

Hearing this, Governor Lu's face changed.

"Xue Tan? Is it the Xue Tan in the capital? ”

"What, you know me?" Xue Tan walked up to Lu Jingyi with a smile on his face.

"That's not what you said yesterday, I'll ask you again, where are Dong Zhe and Ji, you say it quickly, maybe I will spare you from dying."

"In ...... Locked up in a dungeon. Lu Jingyi was so frightened that his hands trembled at this time.

For the name of Xue Tan, it is also spread in Yangzhou, almost to the point that women and children know it.

"Governor Lu, Governor Lu." Chang Lei circled around Lu Jingyi a few times, "You said that you are an official and an official, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

The previous county order was made through Du Jiang's i-official, and it seems that this kind of thing is not uncommon.

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty." Before Chang Lei could open his mouth to ask, Governor Lu slapped his face fiercely.

"When Concubine Niangniang sought this position, she was also greedy for a while, please ask General Xue Tan to forgive his sins, and always take care of his sins, the small ones should die, and the small ones should die."

Seeing Governor Lu kneeling on the ground, the officers and soldiers he brought also looked at each other, glanced at each other, and knelt on the ground with a "poof".

"Take him down."

Now that he has confessed his guilt, Xue Tan doesn't want to waste time on him.

"It's better to report this matter to Qi Yuan as soon as possible."
