Chapter 181: Up the Mountain
Jiang Lingran looked at her with an anxious expression, frowned, and said, "But what happened?" Why did the princess suddenly want to go out of the city? Did the queen agree? ”
Yan Liangyi said with a bitter face: "My father punished my brother for grounding, he must be in a bad mood now, I want to go and see him." ”
Saying that, he sighed: "My queen mother naturally disagrees. ”
"However, let's just say that we went to your Zhuangzi to take a turn, and the queen mother will not find out."
Jiang Lingran didn't think the queen was so easy to deceive.
I even think that Yan Liangyi's idea is not very good.
But at this time, she couldn't think of a better way, because her mind was full of Yan Liangyi's sentence: Yan Qi was punished and grounded!
frowned: "Has the matter been investigated?" ”
Could it really be that Yan Qi forced the workers to go into the mountains to quarry in the rainstorm in order to rush to work?
Yan Liangyi shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I don't know about the affairs of the Qinzheng Palace, I only know that the fourth emperor brother and the imperial brother went to see my father one after another. It is said that the two of them went to intercede, and the father should have been gracious outside the law, but he still punished the elder brother. ”
said that he remembered something, and his expression became even more lonely: "Two years ago, my brother's business house caught fire, and the shopkeeper was burned to death in order to save the account book, and my brother blamed himself for a long time. ”
"Now that four of them have been stoned to death, my brother may not be so sad."
Yan Gu also went to intercede? Is he that kind? Jiang Lingran thought in his heart.
Seeing Yan Liangyi's worried appearance, she smiled lightly and said, "The princess is too underestimated to be the prince of Qi, he is the head of the Qi family's business house, and he bears the livelihood of tens of thousands of people on his shoulders, so he will not be crushed so easily." ”
Thinking of his smiling face and resolute eyebrows, her voice unconsciously lowered: "He will be sad, but he will not be sad." ”
Yan Liangyi looked at Jiang Lingran with big flickering eyes.
Jiang Lingran's throat tightened at her gaze, thinking back to what he had just said, could it be that he had said something wrong?
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, being looked at like this by Yan Liangyi, Jiang Lingran felt uneasy, and was about to open his mouth to make up for it, Yan Liangyi smiled and said, "What you said is very reasonable." ”
"My brother is the head of the Qi family's trading house, and he will not be easily defeated after many winds and waves."
Jiang Lingran nodded in agreement.
Yan Liangyi said: "But I still can't rest assured, I can't hear from my brother in the palace." ”
Jiang Lingran didn't dare to agree to her request to go out of the city.
After thinking about it, he said, "Let's go back first, I'll send someone to Baoshan to ask how the situation is?" ”
Yan Liangyi nodded: "That's it." ”
The group diverted home.
Jiang Lingran wanted to invite Uncle Wen to go, but Jiang Ji volunteered: "I'll go." ”
No matter what, Yan Qi helped Jiang Lingran a lot, there is no doubt about it.
Now that he's in trouble and grounded, maybe there's something he can do to help.
Jiang Lingran knew that Jiang Ji hated Yan Qi, and he didn't understand why he was willing to go.
Sent him to the porch, and wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Ji turned his head to see her frowning, his face was speechless, and he smiled lightly: "Don't worry." Glancing at Yan Liangyi sitting in the hall, he lowered his voice: "I still dare to beat him?" The surname is Yan. ”
Jiang Lingran was dumbfounded for a while, lowered his eyes in panic, and said angrily: "What did my brother say, I'm worried about the mud on the road, and you can't ride a horse." ”
Jiang Ji smiled and didn't speak, rubbed her head, and turned to leave.
On Baoshan, there are five people walking on a sheep intestine path.
The branches and leaves covered the mountain road, and the two guards walked in front to open the way.
Yan Qi and Sui Feng followed.
Behind the Hall of Hundred Spices.
After the rain, the mountain roads are slippery and there are many mosquitoes.
Yan Qi held a wooden stick in his hand, and walked up with one foot and one mud, but also to prevent insects from falling on his body.
Sui Feng's forehead, the wings of his nose were covered with sweat, and the more he walked, the heavier his feet became, he looked down at his shoes that had been completely wrapped in wet mud, and held on to the trunk of the tree on the side and panted: "I caught this strange person, I strangled him." ”
Baixiang was quite relaxed, seeing that Sui Feng was standing, he also stood still, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, hand over the person to me, where can you do it." ”
Sui Feng saw that Yan Qi was still walking, and raised his hand to beckon: "My master, don't go, I'm going to be tired to death." ”
Yan Qi turned around when he heard the sound, looked at Sui Feng's face was pale, and said, "Let's go later." ”
The two guards who walked in front nodded and stopped, shook their sore arms, and looked up: "This road doesn't look like someone has walked on it." ”
Yan Qi didn't speak, and looked sideways at the traces of the big stone rolling down and crushing not far away.
The four people who were stoned to death were not assigned to quarry.
Without permission, they secretly entered the mountain during heavy rains.
The highest place where the mountain rocks roll down is more than ten zhang, the trees that roll down are luxuriant, although it is not stout, but it can finally resist the speed of some mountain rocks rolling down, no matter how bad, such a loud noise is enough to tell the people under the mountain that there are falling rocks, and they need to escape as soon as possible.
And the rolling stones are not massive, and the people below the mountain have enough time and open space to escape for their lives.
Why did they just stone to death?
Still all dead in a pit?
Think about it with your heels, you know that there is a cat.
Moreover, the direction of the wind in the middle of the court is also really intriguing.
Who is going to be stabbed in him?
Sui Feng saw that Yan Qi was silent, took two steps closer to him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still angry that the emperor punished you for grounding?" ”
Yan Qi looked at the depths of the dense forest, and said without emotion: "What's so angry, it's not the first time I've been punished." ”
Sui Feng was somewhat aggrieved and resentful when he heard this.
"The emperor punished you for grounding at this time, in the final analysis, he still doesn't worry about you and treats you as a child. I'm afraid that you can't handle this matter well, and ruin the hard work of the old family master and the Qi family for generations, so I plan to help you deal with it. ”
How could Yan Qi not understand?
He wanted to tell the emperor that he was capable enough to deal with this kind of thing, but the emperor didn't even give him a chance, and directly ordered him to be grounded.
The mist condensed on the leaves accumulated into droplets, fell down, and landed on his arm, he looked at it, and said, "After I go back, tell the trading house that in the past month, all freight will not be allowed to go by water." ”
"Ahh Sui Feng was shocked: "You're not kidding, are you?" ”
Yan Qi asked expressionlessly: "Do you think I'm joking again?" ”
Sui Feng felt that Yan Qi's order was inexplicable, and said incredulously: "No, why?" Waterways are more convenient, faster, and cheaper, so why would you want to go by land? ”
Yan Qi looked up at the gray sky, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and said, "Some masters said that I recently had a collision with the water criminal!" ”
Sui Feng couldn't laugh or cry.
I want to say that it's just a few rains, and besides, whether the truth of this stoned person was an accident or a man-made person hasn't been found out, why did he rush with the water criminal?
Yan Qi looked at Sui Feng's disapproving expression, and added very seriously: "Remember, for a month, whoever dares to disobey will be severely punished!" As he spoke, he turned and continued to walk up.
Sui Feng saw Yan Qi like this, and knew that he had made up his mind, and he couldn't persuade him, so he saved his tongue and said, "I understand." ”
Although he felt that Yan Qi was making a fuss in his heart, a month was not a long time, and he said that if there were masters who took advantage of it, it must be true.
The land route is the land route, which can make him feel at ease, but what about the time and money.
