Chapter 1003: Two Birds with One Stone
Xie Yue bowed his head and said slowly: "Lord, princess, I think that if you want to investigate, you should focus on Danfu County. The people of Danfu County account for forty percent, and nearly half of the number of people has been solved in this place, and the people have the idea of conforming to the herd, Danfu County is the largest county among the counties, and the people of Danfu County will come to the rest of the county and learn more. β
"Exactly." Xu Weizhi also said, "The most important thing is that Master Cheng, the magistrate of Danfu County, has an extraordinary background, and the old man and Brother Xie deliberately checked it when they saw the list of people's husbands, and that Cheng Zhixian is the protΓ©gΓ© of Lu Ge's old protΓ©gΓ©." β
Lu Ge Lao is Lu Heng's grandfather, the previous head of the Lumen family.
Qin Yining's brows furrowed when he heard this, "As soon as I hear about the relationship between someone and something in the car of the Lumen family, I feel irritable in my heart. The delay of the people is obviously Cheng Zhixian's move. Bao Buqi is Uncle Lu's signal. β
Xiao Xiao smiled casually: "Don't worry, don't worry, haven't we encountered fewer difficult things?" It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth. β
Seeing that he was so free and easy, Qin Yining couldn't help but smile.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi's faces were originally tense, but they also relaxed when they saw this.
Xiao Zhengse said: "Now the first thing is to find out the reason why the people of Danfu County have not arrived, and then prescribe the right medicine." If Cheng Zhixian makes a move, I will have to show my identity to suppress people. But if the crux of the problem is on the people, things will not be easy. β
"Exactly." Qin Yining frowned and said, "Although it is the will of the imperial court to send the people to repair the emperor's mausoleum, but in the eyes of the people, the person in charge is you, and the people refuse to come. β
Xie Yue said, "What the princess said is true. And if the matter is not resolved well this time, and the construction of the imperial tomb is delayed to enter the city, it will also attract the blame of the saints. β
"Loyal and righteous uncles are calculating." Xu Weizhi sneered, "Such killing two birds with one stone can attract the idea of the prince, lead the prince to solve the affairs of the people, give him time to deal with the treasure on the pretext of investigating the stone, and take the opportunity to frame the prince, this person's cunning methods should not be underestimated." β
Xiao Xiao smiled: "Since you are standing on the opposite side, you can't do anything too much, and in order to win or lose, you can only rely on your own ability." β
"But what should I do about this investigation?" Qin Yining looked pensive and said slowly, "I'm afraid that I can't do it well, if I startle the snake, I'm afraid it will delay the big thing." I have a proposal. β
"Oh?" Xie Yue and Xu Weizhidu looked at Qin Yining expectantly, "The princess thought of a way so quickly?" β
Xiao Xiao looked at Qin Yining expectantly, "Let's talk about it." β
Qin Yining smiled, "Since Uncle Zhongyi may have deliberately made trouble for you, in order to support you, then we might as well follow his thoughts, leave him time, and leave Huichuan County generously, so that we don't have to be restrained and delay our serious work, and we can concentrate on solving the affairs of the people, so as not to let the Holy Lord cure your sin." β
"What the princess said is very true." Xie Yue also said, "Why don't you plan it, leave Huichuan County, and let Uncle Lu go to the treasure." β
Qin Yining nodded and said, "As for going to Danfu County to investigate the matter of the people, I suggest a two-pronged approach. β
Xu Weizhi stroked his long beard, nodded with a smile: "What the princess said is very true, and the old man also thinks this method is very good." β
When Qin Yining heard this, she knew that Xu Weizhi had been thinking about her all along, so she didn't continue to talk and handed over the opportunity to speak to the strategist.
Xu Weizhi said: "The old man thinks that it is best to have a bright and dark matter, the prince is naturally in the light, and the people do not come to Huichuan, this matter is not a secret, and it is natural for the prince to go to Danfu County to investigate." In this way, it will attract the attention of Cheng Zhixian, and it will be easier for another team of people to secretly go to Danfu County to investigate. β
"It's a very good law." Xie Yue nodded approvingly, "As for those who secretly go to Danfu County, they don't have to act sneakily, they can pretend to be businessmen, go to Danfu County to do business generously, contact with the people, and meet the three sects and nine streams, it will be easier to find out the news." β
He said, "This method is feasible. It's better for Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu to pretend to be businessmen......"
"Lord Wang."
Qin Yining interrupted Xiao Xiao's words and said seriously: "It's better for me to pretend to be a businessman and take them with you to stun them." β
Xiao Xiao frowned, and said disapprovingly: "You go?" That's too dangerous. β
"What's so dangerous about this?" Qin Yining said with a smile, "What happened in the past, which one doesn't have to be so dangerous?" This time, it's just pretending to be a merchant to do business, which is the simplest. Finding out the news is the housekeeping skill of the silver-faced secret agent, and it is enough for me to sting the four of them. β
Turning to Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, he explained, "The two gentlemen can naturally handle this matter, but you two are the advisors of the prince's side, and many people know it. Since the prince is going to leave Huichuan County with everyone, if there are two important strategists missing from his side, he may arouse suspicion. I'm a female dependent, I don't need to show my head on weekdays, and the four of them are not attention-grabbing people, and most people don't care that there is a small guy missing from the prince's side, and I pretend to be a businessman is the least noticeable, and it is the easiest to find out the news. β
Qin Yining said his thoughts in one breath, and then looked at Xiao Xiao inquiringly.
Xiao Xiao naturally knew that what Qin Yining said was right, but he really didn't want Qin Yining to leave his side. Like every time before, he always didn't want Qin Yining to take risks, and he was angry at his incompetence.
Xie Yue smiled, "Lord Wang, the old man thinks that the princess's method is feasible." If the princess goes, it will indeed be better than the two of us. β
"The words are so, but ......"
Qin Yining said with a smile, "Since you think so too, then it's done like this, aren't you still at ease when I do things?" β
Regarding Qin Yining's ability, Xiao Xiao was naturally relieved. But he was also really worried about Qin Yining's safety.
Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "Pretending to be a merchant to do business, there is really no risk. I set off with the prince, and when I got to the outside of the city, I took people first, and the prince could walk slowly with great fanfare, and when I found out the news, I came out to meet you, and then we entered the city together. β
Xiao Xiao thought about it silently for a long time, there was really no other more appropriate way at the moment, and after thinking about the situation carefully, he finally nodded.
Now that you have taken care of it, you need to prepare yourself and pretend to be a trader, at least the goods must be complete. Fortunately, the local Sitong number was there, and Qin Yining arranged for someone to come forward secretly, and it was easy to prepare two truckloads of goods.
Xiao Xiao personally went to the yamen.
Lu Heng greeted him with a smile and arched his hand: "The prince is here in person, and the lower officials are far away." β
"Loyal and righteous uncles don't need to be so polite." He returned the salute and sat down in the front hall with Lu Heng with a smile, Lu Wenru brought the tea and respectfully retreated.
Lu Heng saw that Xiao Xiao was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with dark flowers, and he thought inexplicably, maybe this is Qin Yining's needlework, right?
Qin Yi was willing to do needlework for Xiao Xiao, but he refused to look at him more.
He was even more panicked in his heart, and he didn't want to be entangled with Xiao Xiao more and more.
"The prince is coming, but what are your orders?" Lu Heng got straight to the point.
Xiao Xiao naturally didn't bother to spend time with Lu Heng, and Lu Heng had coveted his sister for more than a day or two. If he stayed for a long time, he was worried that he would not be able to resist strangling this guy.
"I can't talk about the order, it's just that the Holy Lord ordered the construction of the imperial mausoleum, but now there are some problems with the imperial mausoleum, and the people from all over the country have not arrived, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum is afraid that it will be delayed."
Lu Heng nodded solemnly, "What the prince said is that the lower officials also learned about it. At this point, I'm at a loss. β
Speaking of this, Lu Heng couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao's expression, and when he saw that he frowned and was silent, he couldn't help but say again: "It's just the will of the Holy Lord, and I ordered the lower officials to thoroughly investigate the materials of the imperial tomb. β
Lu Heng's face was full of worry and guilt, and asked, "How is the prince going to deal with this matter?" β
Xiao Xiao said sincerely: "The matter is indeed difficult to do, this king has investigated, this time the selection of people from this county and several surrounding counties, of which the people of Danfu County account for forty percent, this king is ready to personally investigate this matter." β
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Heng with probing and provocative eyes, "This king heard that Cheng Zhi County in Danfu County has some connections with your Lu family. β
Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he was a little relieved. Xiao Xiaoken questioned, that is, he was already angry, I am afraid that Cheng Zhixian's accounts will be counted on the Lu family. If Xiao Xiao didn't question or get angry about this matter at all, he would have to wonder if Xiao Xiao already knew something behind it.
Lu Heng said in a panic: "That Cheng Weimin is indeed the protΓ©gΓ© of a protΓ©gΓ© when his ancestor was alive. However, this relationship is both close and close, and far is indeed far away. At least this official and Cheng Weimin only have a nodding acquaintance. β
"Yes." The doubts in Xiao Xiao's eyes were still there, obviously distrusting Lu Heng.
"That's it, when it comes to whether the holy imperial tomb can be built smoothly, this king will go this time, and he must carefully investigate the reasons clearly, if there are really people behind his back to instigate the people to obstruct the construction of the imperial tomb into the city in order to achieve the goal, this king will never indulge. At that time, he will report to the Holy God according to the truth, so as to ask the Son of Heaven to judge. β
The obvious threat, even Lu Heng couldn't help but be shocked.
"The prince is loyal to the country, and the duke is selfless, which is admirable." He simply refused to pick up the stubble.
Xiao Xiao sneered, "The selfless loyalty to the monarch and the country is what you and I should do for the most basic." What does Uncle say? β
Lu Heng knew that this was a threat, and obviously counted all the affairs of Danfu County on Lu Heng's head.
"That's what the prince said."
Xiao Xiao stood up, snorted, and strode away.
Lu Hengcheng stepped forward in fear to send him off, and sent the person out of the mansion before slowly straightening his waist.
Seeing the carriage that Xiao Xiao was riding gradually moving away, the corners of Lu Heng's mouth rose, and he turned around with brisk steps, and strode towards the yamen.
