Chapter 221: The Theft of the Silver Vault

Yang Qiuchi immediately repaired a letter to Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue, telling him what had happened during this time and his thoughts, and then called Xia Ping in, handed her the letter, and instructed her to lead six female guards to Ningguo Mansion early the next morning, and together with the four female guards left, the old lady and his wife were brought to Wuchang, and after settling down, these ten female guards were left in Wuchang to protect the old lady and grandmother, and Xia Ping came to meet Yang Qiuchi by herself. Xia Ping took the order and left.

After a busy night, it was late at night, Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei's mother and daughter took the little maid Hui'er and Yang Qiuchi to say goodbye and go back to the room to rest.

Song Yun'er knew that the three of them had reunited after a long absence, and they had a lot to say, so they also went back to their rooms. In the living room, there are only two little maids, Yang Qiuchi, Qin Zhihui, Song Qing, Yuechan and Hongyan.

Yuechan turned out to be Qin Zhihui's personal maid, Qin Zhihui had already returned, and Yang Qiuchi also asked Yuechan to follow Qin Zhihui.

The three of them talked for a while, they were busy all night after a day's journey, they were all a little sleepy, Yang Qiuchi proposed to sleep, but Qin Zhihui and Song Qing didn't move, they just blushed and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

The two of them have been away from Yang Qiuchi for so long, of course, they all hope to sleep by their husband's side tonight, but they are embarrassed to say. Of course Yang Qiuchi knew, thought about it, and said: "That's it, let's still have the old rules, every five days, and when the menstrual event comes, it will be postponed." Good no good? ”

The second daughter nodded, and looked at Yang Qiuchi again, which of course meant to ask what to do tonight.

These two daughters, Yang Qiuchi, are very fond of each other, and immediately said: "Zhihui's advanced door, let's go first." Zhihui wheel first, okay? ”

Yang Qiuchi said this reason, although Song Qing was a little disappointed, she didn't have any objections, who told him to come later, there must always be a first to come. Fortunately, five days passed quickly, and I could still be with my husband during the day. She was a child's last name, so she nodded in agreement.

Yuechan was very happy and rushed back to Qin Zhihui's residence in the inner house to prepare.

Yang Qiuchi took Qin Zhihui's hand and then came to the room. Yuechan had already prepared hot water in the big wooden barrel for bathing, and Yang Qiuchi had to take Qin Zhihui to take a mandarin duck bath together. Qin Zhihui was originally surnamed Weak, and she obeyed shyly.

As for the detailed inside story of how the two took a mandarin duck bath and how they reunited in Wushan after a long absence, it is an A-level top secret, and I don't tell him about it, so I will skip it.

The next day, Qian Bu political envoy and others set up a banquet in the Yellow Crane Tower to Yang Qiuchi to suppress the shock and wash the dust, with the lesson of the last time, this time the inspection is particularly strict, almost even the tiles on the Yellow Crane Tower have been turned over and checked, the inner three layers and the outer three layers are arranged to guard, and then the gong is sounded to open the way and Yang Qiuchi is picked up with the official sedan chair.

Yang Qiuchi stood on the Yellow Crane Tower, remembering the scene when Liu Ruobing robbed herself, thinking of Liu Ruobing's sad and lonely eyes, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, not knowing where she went and when she would be able to meet her.

The two days of repairing passed quickly. Yang Qiuchi didn't have time to wait for Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue to come to Wuchang, because they rushed to Wuchang from Jingshi Ningguofu, coming and going, plus Ningguofu and Song Qing's mother still had to explain business, I am afraid it will take more than a month, and he can't wait so long, so after handing over to Qian Bu's political envoy and others to take care of him, he continued to set off for Yunnan.

It's just that the team that went to work this time has grown a lot stronger than before, not only with two more concubines, Qin Zhihui and Song Qing, but also with a beautiful red silk girl, seven pear garden women, and the newly sent Ouchi guards and brocade guards.

Now Yang Qiuchi's escort team has a total of 70 people, of which 40 are male guards and 30 female guards. Yang Qiuchi left ten female guards to protect Yang Mu and Feng Xiaoxue in Wuchang Mansion, so there were a total of sixty guards with him, including twenty female guards. These twenty female guards protected the two concubines of Qin Zhihui and Song Qing respectively.

Before leaving Wuchang, Yang Qiuchi and Master Jin had a total itinerary.

Originally, he went directly to Zhenyuanzhou through Huguang Changde Mansion to take up his post, and then went to Kunming, which was the closest journey, but Master Jin said that the new official should not be so hasty, there are many rules in it, and if he goes to the post first, according to the rules, the official government has no special affairs, and he cannot leave the jurisdiction. Therefore, once you take office, it is inconvenient to go to Yunnan again. It is best to make a detour from Guangxi to Yunnan first, and after arranging Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei, then return to Yuanzhou, Huguang Town.

Yang Qiuchi agreed at the moment, and the team entered Guangxi through Yueyang Mansion, Changsha Mansion, and Hengzhou Mansion, and then entered Yunnan through Guilin and Qingyuan, and came to Kunming.

After entering Yunnan, Xia Ping caught up with them and reported to Yang Qiuchi that the matter had been done, and Yang Mu and Feng Xiaoxue had received their new home in Wuchang Mansion, and everything had been arranged. Yang Qiuchi was relieved.

There were no words all the way, and the hardships finally arrived.

Kunming City is the seat of Yunnan Buzheng Division, or relatively prosperous, although it is not as good as Yingtianfu and Yangzhou, and it is almost the same as Ningguofu.

When he entered the city gate, he found that a group of officers and soldiers were strictly checking the pedestrians out of the city. Those who enter the city are all allowed to leave, but those who leave the city must be strictly checked, especially the luggage, all of which must be opened and searched one by one, and it is obvious that something important must have been lost.

Yang Qiuchi and they entered the city, and they didn't need to be checked, so they entered the city smoothly.

They found the Kunming post station to live, Yang Qiuchi asked Song Qing and Qin Zhihui to wait at the post station with the maids, and Xia Ping took twenty female guards to protect them. The concierge saw that Yang Qiuchi had a generous move, and happily went in to report.

Not long after, the porter ran out, politely introduced Yang Qiuchi and the others to the door, led the way sideways, and led Yang Qiuchi and them to the living room to sit down.

Yang Qiuchi and the others had just sat down, and a few people came out of the back hall of the hall, and the porter introduced: "Lord Yang, let's put the sentence on probation and make Master Kang come out." ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly got up and bowed: "Humble Yang Qiuchi, meet Master Kang." ”

Kang Huai is an old man of fifty or sixty years old, his face is full of red light, and he said with a smile: "Lord Yang doesn't need to be polite," raised the letter in his hand, "Gu Fuyin admires you very much in the letter, praising you for solving cases like a god, and a young man is promising." Gu Fuyin is the same age as me, and he is a young classmate, the person he recommended is definitely not wrong, since we are a family, there is no need to be polite, please sit down! ”

This Kang Huai seems to be also a lover with a surname, very straightforward, Yang Qiuchi is very happy.

After sitting down, after a few words of greeting, Yang Qiuchi briefly introduced Song Yun'er, Nangong Xiong and Master Jin who followed behind him, Kang Huai beckoned them to sit down too, and was a little surprised to hear that Song Yun'er was Yang Qiuchi's sister. But seeing that Song Yun'er looked at Yang Qiuchi very intimately, she had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart.

Yang Qiuchi instructed Master Jin to present the gift, and he now knows that this letter of recommendation is just a pathfinder, what is the future of this relationship, when the relationship is not yet familiar, money is the easiest way to get the relationship acquainted.

Sure enough, when Kang Huai saw this generous gift, although he shirked in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and after Yang Qiuchi sincerely expressed his respect, Kang Huai accepted it.

Yang Qiuchi felt a little strange, the kind of light he saw from Kang Huai's gaze just now was not greed, but the desire to send charcoal in the snow, but there was still worry between his eyebrows.

The purpose of Yang Qiuchi's trip Gu Fuyin had already said in the letter, and Kang Huai reassured Yang Qiuchi that he would arrange the flow of Madame Bai's mother and daughter close to Huguang, so that Yang Qiuchi could visit them from time to time.

The gift given by Yang Qiuchi was very heavy, and what Tuo Kanghuai did was a piece of cake, just a gesture, Kang Huai was a little embarrassed, and before Yang Qiuchi proposed to redeem it, he took the initiative to let Yang Qiuchi spend some money to redeem Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter from hard labor.

Kang Huai also proposed that the place where Yang Qiuchi was appointed was only a day's away from Mrs. Bai's exile, and that place belonged to the intersection of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Huguang provinces, so Yang Qiuchi could take her mother and daughter to the office, and the case would be eliminated at the end of the three-year period, and these things would be left to him, and at the same time it was decided to send a cronie to the prison and Yang Qiuchi to go to the exile to handle the redemption matters in detail.

Yang Qiuchi was really overjoyed, Bai Sumei and Mrs. Bai didn't have to live in Liusuo, they could go to Qingxi County, Zhenyuan Prefecture with him, which was a good thing he couldn't even think of. I couldn't help but be grateful.

This is just a trivial matter for Kang Huai, but it is a big thing for Yang Qiuchi, Yang Qiuchi was grateful in his heart, and remembered Kang Huai's thoughtful eyes just now, so he asked: "Lord Kang, take the liberty of asking, is there anything unsatisfactory about the adult?" ”

Kang Huai sighed and shook his head: "I'm going to leave office in a few months, but, hey~!" ”

Master Jin interjected: "Isn't it because the money and food are not clear, and it is difficult to deliver?" ”

Kang Huai looked at Master Jin and praised Yang Qiuchi: "Lord Yang's subordinates are all capable people." That's right, seeing that the resignation is approaching, but something happened at this time, alas~! Kang Huai sighed again, and after a while, he continued: "Half a month ago, my Yamen silver vault was stolen and a lot of silver taels were lost. ”

When the term of office of the officials of the Ming Dynasty expired, the old and new officials had to handle the handover, and if the old officials' accounts were not clear and the public funds were empty, they all had to be compensated, and those with a large number of officials had to be dismissed from their posts until their family property was confiscated. The theft of the treasury is not only regarded as a serious dereliction of duty, but the officials themselves must pay compensation before they can leave office, otherwise they will be held responsible.
