Chapter Seventy-Four: Discussion
Because the stakes are high, of course.
The mountain they had visited was not far from Kyoto, and it could be said that it was located at the foot of the Imperial City, but it was such a close place, and there were still people who secretly mined gold here, and mined it for more than half a year, or even longer, without anyone discovering it, isn't that a big enough problem!
The two people who were killed by lightning also said things like masters, too, if there was no one behind them, they would not have been able to do such a bold thing.
In order to resist the barbarian invasion, the soldiers at the border pass are always guarding the pass, and they cannot reunite with their relatives and friends during the New Year's holidays, but the imperial treasury is empty, and even the military salaries of those soldiers guarding the border pass are in arrears from time to time, and the armament is not complete, so that they are really fighting with their lives, how can people not admire!
"My little uncle once said that he was the companion of today's son, and his family has been a general for generations, all of them are guarding the frontier, but my little uncle is the only one who was left in Kyoto. He often told me about the border passes, and often said that the imperial court had insufficient money, and His Majesty even took out the money in the inner treasury as military salaries. Xie Huai'an could see at a glance that Ah Yu didn't take his words seriously, and he wasn't angry.
After all, the little girl's family is not politically sensitive enough, and it is understandable that they can't easily see the complex relationship behind this matter.
Isn't he explaining this to Ah Yu!
"The people who dig in the mountains must not be the people of the imperial court. You also heard what they said, even the officials of the court said that they would kill them, but you can imagine how vicious that group of people is, but there is a master behind them who doesn't know who it is! Since I plan to tell the court about the gold mine, I naturally don't worry about their retaliation. But you're different, you're a girl, and you shouldn't get involved in this troubled water. ”
But Ah Yu doesn't think so.
There are many things she doesn't say to outsiders, such as the water bandits on Lishui.
Xu is the group of water bandits on Lishui is not famous, even if they will be the murderers of Wen Huan and Xie Huai'an in four years, but now no matter how Ah Yu knocks on the side in front of his father and brother, he has never heard of their names.
Only this time, she got some clues from the mouths of those two.
Although I don't know if the bandits in their mouths are the same people as the people four years later, Ah Yu is unwilling to let go of this rare clue.
Even if he knew that there was a lot of danger behind this matter, Ah Yu never thought of backing down, the people hiding behind this matter, whether it was now or in the future, as long as they wanted to change their brother's life, they would always run into it.
That being the case, why can't she confront her in advance, so that her father and Ah Yu can be prepared in advance, instead of leaving her defenselessly like in a dream.
Ah Yu lowered his head and drank the warm ginger soup in the bowl, with a firm face that could not be refused.
"I know you're doing it for my good, but I also have my reasons," Ah Yu couldn't tell what was going on in his dream, so he had to find other reasons, "but what is the difference between you doing this and covering your ears and stealing the bell?" Those who know must know that I am on the same path as you, even if I say that I have no knowledge, will others believe me? I think for example, it was clear from the beginning, and it saved a lot of trouble! ”
I have to say that Ah Yu's words also have some truth.
But Xie Huai'an still didn't want to give up, he thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you want to ask me something before?" Otherwise, I will exchange this with you, we will both take a step back, and you can explain what happened to the people of the Wen family, but in front of outsiders, we still have to make a good confession. I didn't plan to go directly to the yamen to talk about the gold mine, and I wouldn't do that kind of thing. ”
Ah Yu thought for a while, her original intention was to let her father and brother be guarded, if she just hid in front of outsiders, it was not impossible.
It's just that she is still very curious about Xie Huai'an's method of reporting the gold mine to the imperial court.
She asked the same thing.
Xie Huai'an silently wiped Ah Yu's hair and said in a low voice: "My maternal grandfather's family except for my little uncle, everyone else is in the frontier, they want my little uncle to live a peaceful life in Kyoto, but what my little uncle wants is to go to the frontier to go to the battlefield. Originally, I wanted to tell my uncle about the gold mine, he is the companion of the Son of Heaven, and he can often be summoned by the Son of Heaven......"
If he let the little uncle say it, maybe he will be able to take this opportunity to realize his long-cherished wish to go to the battlefield!
Seeing that Ah Yu was silent, he said eagerly: "I don't want to erase your credit, in front of the saint, I must let my little uncle tell the truth, I ......"
Ah Yu sensed Xie Huai'an's anxiety, reached out and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and whispered: "I know you want to use your own credit for your little uncle's long-cherished wish to come true, but that's not what I'm thinking about!" Do you remember when we came out of the mountains and did not hide our tracks? Wouldn't it be bad if the people who were hiding in the mountains came out to look for those two people and happened to find the traces of our passing? ”
Xie Huai'an and Ah Yu glanced at each other, and both of them thought about how serious the consequences of bad things were.
It was Ah Yu who spoke first: "This place should not be far from the Wenfu Courtyard, and my grandfather lives in the Courtyard now, he is the emperor, he can directly enter the palace to meet the saint, why don't we let the fourth uncle take us to the Wenfu Courtyard now, and then the matter of the gold mine will be told to my grandfather." ”
Xie Huai'an added: "Even if you want to exchange the credit for the little uncle's long-cherished wish to come true, you have to take the credit first!" ”
After hearing this, Ah Yu nodded again and again.
Just as Xie Huai'an was about to go out, Ah Yu subconsciously stopped him: "Fourth Uncle has already sent someone to the other courtyard just now to inform my grandfather that he has found us, and when we come to the other courtyard, my father and they should also receive the news, so can I ask you for something?" ”
What is it that deserves to be so serious?
Xie Huai'an looked at Ah Yu, only to hear her say: "If, I mean, if there are people from the Duan Mansion among the people present at that time, can you please wait for them to leave before talking about things?" ”
That's weird!
Obviously, Ah Yu should be friendly with the Duan family, why would he ask him to avoid the people of the Duan family?
There will always be some little secrets between people, and sometimes too much without seeking to understand is the best attitude to intersect, Xie Huai'an is like this at the moment.
He didn't ask Ah Yu the reason, but agreed very seriously.
Compared with the Duan family, which he was not familiar with, he was of course closer to Ah Yu.
Wen Yu outside the house didn't expect Xie Huai'an to chat with Ah Yu for so long, he was already waiting extremely impatiently outside, if it wasn't for a Qi Zhang to stop him, he would definitely go to kick the door early in the morning.
Just when Qi Zhangdu was about to stop Wen Yu, the closed door finally opened.
