Chapter 114: A sad past
From that day on, when Yan Jiu wanted to ask Mingyue about this matter again, Mingyue would always change the topic without a trace, Yan Jiu asked a few more times, and seeing that Mingyue didn't seem to want to say, he didn't force it, and put all his energy on tracking down the grain case.
Mingyue put all her thoughts on the laboratory, and worked with Lin Xiao to study the method of detoxifying Li Yun, even Lin Xiao, such a precious donkey, followed Mingyue into the laboratory, and the time to take care of his donkey became less.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the grain case pursued by Yan Jiu and Yan 13 also has some eyebrows, as Mingyue expected, it is related to the Hongji granary, and they traced it all the way, but found that the Hongji granary has a deep background, and there is no tangible evidence, so they can't move at all.
At this time, news came from Shangjing that Yan Jiu needed to return to Beijing as soon as possible, so he had to leave first, leaving Yan Shisan alone at the border to check the evidence.
When Yan Jiu left, he took the two Zhang Shan brothers and Xiao Zhou away, leaving only Xiao Wei and a few guards under the mountain who Mingyue didn't know.
As soon as Yan Jiu left, Yan Shisan not only did not stop, but also seemed to be busier, rarely had time to stay on this mountain, only occasionally came back, this Xiao Wei also left from time to time, and the mountain was quiet again, eating and living and other things, and Mingyue started to pick it up.
So Mingyue became even busier, fortunately, this Lin Xiao is not a young master who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, and he will help Mingyue do any heavy work, Mingyue is not polite, but it makes Mingyue a lot easier.
Seeing that the time for the autumn harvest has arrived, the hot weather is gradually cooling.
In the evening of this day, Mingyue was cooking dinner, and saw Yan Shisan coming back with Xiao Wei, Yan Shisan still had a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, and came to Mingyue's side, "What do you do delicious?" ”
Mingyue pushed Yan Thirteen away in disgust, and continued to work in her hands, but her mouth answered the opposite of the question to Yan Thirteen, "Look at your face, the smile bloomed, and you picked up money on the way?" ”
Yan Shisan glanced at Mingyue disdainfully, "As far as your little bit of interest, is the master a person who is short of money?" It also needs to be picked up. ”
Then he came to Li Yun's side, and before Yan Shisan could speak, Li Yun said coldly, "If you have something, just say it." ”
Dare to ridicule Mingyue, how could Li Yun give Yan Shisan any good face.
However, Yan Shisan's face was thick enough, and he didn't mind Li Yun's cold face at all, so he continued to come to Li Yun's side, sat down on the small bench in front of the stove when he was preparing for the fire, and said proudly to Li Yun on the side, "Those grain merchants finally let me hold it, and after interrogation, they finally confessed that Hongji Granary was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the grain he took back was returned to Hongji Granary, no wonder we couldn't find that grain no matter how we looked for it." ”
Listening to Yan Shisan's words, Mingyue asked curiously, "Oh? Why has there been no news for so long, and suddenly you have been caught? ”
Yan Shisan sneered, "Hmph, this Hongji granary is also a little bolder, the lord is still sitting on this border, they actually dare to reach out and take advantage of the autumn to collect grain, the grain merchants on this border are scared, and there are a few people who dare to do the grain business, as soon as the lord heard that there are still grain merchants who dare to collect grain, he feels that there is a problem. ”
Hearing Yan Thirteen's words, Li Yun asked lightly, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Yan Shisan said with a smile, "Of course, I brought everyone back to Yanjing, with these witnesses, I don't believe it, and I can't deal with this Hongji granary." ”
When Yan Jiu found out the person behind the Hongji granary, Mingyue asked Li Yun what kind of ability the person behind this was, so that Yan Jiu didn't dare to move them at will, Li Yun didn't hide Mingyue, anyway, Mingyue already knew the identity of Yan Jiu and the others, so he told Mingyue that it was Lord Guozhang.
And this lord of the country is not an ordinary lord of the country, since the beginning of the Dayan Dynasty, it has always been, and the reason for this, after Mingyue heard it, she felt a little speechless.
The original hereditary surname of the king of the country was Qi, when the founding of the Great Yan was the most supportive of the family of the king of Yan, which is equivalent to having the merit of the dragon, the founding king of Yan married the woman of the Qi family as the queen in order to express his gratitude, and the later generations of the king of Yan have also followed suit, and there is this hereditary king.
Today's Lord Guozhang is the prime minister who holds real power in the court, so when Yan Jiu and Yan 13 found out the background of the Hongji granary, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing Yan Shisan's smug face, Mingyue had to remind, "Don't be complacent yet, let's bring your group of witnesses back to Yanjing safely." ”
Yan Shisan looked at Mingyue puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
Mingyue looked at Yan Shisan like an idiot, and slandered in her heart, with Yan Shisan's brain, how could she grow so big alive? Yan Shisan's mouth was puzzled, "Since you can find out the background of the Hongji granary, the Hongji granary can also find out your identity and purpose, do you think that the Hongji granary will let you take their people to Yanjing?" I don't look at those people well, and I still run here to scream. ”
As soon as Mingyue finished speaking, Yan Shisan didn't even have time to greet the two, and hurriedly left with someone, afraid that he also understood what Mingyue meant.
Since Yan Shisan came back and left, Li Yun frowned a little absentmindedly, Mingyue finally couldn't resist her curiosity, and when she was alone with Li Yun at night, she asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
Knowing that Mingyue is a smart person, there are some things that Li Yun can't hide if he wants to, so Li Yun generally has anything, and he won't hide it from Mingyue, since Mingyue got sick, the relationship between the two is even better, listening to Mingyue asked, Li Yun didn't hide it, "I always feel that this matter is not simple." ”
Mingyue lightly, "Huh?" After a while, he motioned for Li Yun to continue, and Li Yun continued, "This Hongji granary suddenly made such a smash at the border, which has already attracted the attention of the imperial court, and sent Yan Jiu and them down to investigate, it should have stopped, how could these thirteen have not left yet, and they came out again?" ”
Listening to Li Yun's words, Mingyue thought for a while, "I always feel that this Hongji granary is trying to find ways to store grain, could it be that Lord Guozhang also thinks that Xianbei will make some moves, so he is fully prepared for the border war?" ”
Listening to Mingyue's words, Li Yun was taken aback, shook his head and said, "Impossible, this Qi family is the prime minister of Great Yan on the surface, and he is also the lord of the country, in fact, he has already had a disagreement with King Yan, but this Qi family has too deep roots, too much power, and does not have enough handles, and now King Yan is helpless against them." ”
With Li Yun's words, an idea suddenly popped up in Mingyue's mind and asked, "Does this queen have an heir?" ”
Li Yun shook his head, "King Yan has long been jealous of the Qi family, how could he let the queen have an heir?" ”
"Which royal heir does the Qi family support behind it?"
Li Yun continued to shake his head, "No." But his brow was furrowed more and more.
Mingyue saw Li Yun's expression and knew that Li Yun might have thought of going with her, so Mingyue continued to ask, "Does the Qi family have the power to control the army?" ”
Li Yundao, "King Yan has long been afraid of the Qi family, and over the years, he has successively grasped the military power of the Qi family, and the military power in the hands of the Qi family is only two out of ten at most. ”
Listening to Li Yun's words, Mingyue responded, "If you come to the inside and outside, twenty percent is enough, this Qi family suddenly began to store grain at this time, and at the same time chose to store grain at this border, I am afraid that it has already caught up with Xianbei." ”
Li Yun said lightly, "It seems that we have to let Thirteen go back as soon as possible and remind Yan Jiu." ”
Mingyue looked at Li Yun a little strangely, "Don't you want to take revenge?" ”
Mingyue suddenly came out with such a sentence, which made Li Yun a little unconscious, "What? ”
Mingyue continued to ask, "Your life experience should be related to the destroyed Qin State, right?" ”
Li Yun looked at the bright moon in front of him, who was obviously asking himself, but there was a positive bright moon in his eyes, and sighed lightly, how could such a transparent woman hide it as long as she had the slightest clue?
So Li Yun no longer covered it up, and sighed and said, "The demise of the Qin State is inevitable, even if there is no Yan family, there will be other people to replace it, at that time, the Qin State was already at the end of the strong crossbow, even if this is the case, how can you say revenge?" ”
Mingyue still knew something about how the Yan family would treat the descendants of the Qin State in the future, and Mingyue continued, "But the Yan family has always wanted to exterminate the Qin family. ”
Li Yun continued, "Because the Qin family has never been settled, this Yan family is afraid that the Qin family will make a comeback, of course they will find a way to kill them all, and now the Qin family has completely ceased to exist, you remember, my surname is Li, and my name is Li Yun." ”
Listening to Li Yun's words, Mingyue couldn't help but sigh that Li Yun, who seemed to be cold and cold, actually had such a broad mind.
Seeing that Mingyue was quiet, Li Yun said softly, "Aren't you tired after a busy day?" Go to bed early. ”
Mingyue shook her head, "Don't be tired, tell me, why did you and your mother end up in the Li family in this Dalu Village?" ”
Seeing Mingyue's bright eyes staring at him without blinking, Li Yun couldn't bear to refuse, sighed lightly, and had to tell the story, "Back then, my mother was still a young lady of the Zhou family in Yanjing, and accidentally rescued a man, named Qin Ping, who was my biological father, my mother was taken away by Qin Ping, Qin Ping and the remnants of the Qin State occupied the mountain as the king on this border, planning their great cause of recovering the country, and my mother was taken captive to this border. ”
Li Yun paused for a moment before continuing, "The Qin Ping that my mother rescued was when he was lurking in Yanjing to inquire about the news, and he was found chasing and injured, and fled to my mother's courtyard. My mother was imprisoned, Qin Ping forced my mother to marry him, gave birth to me, and my mother accepted her fate, but Qin Ping took me as a threat, and asked my mother to persuade my grandfather to take refuge in him, my mother would not agree, so she took me to escape, fortunately my father, that is, Li Hu, sacrificed his life to save him, but because he was injured at the time, he injured his lungs and fell into a stubborn disease, after that, you should know. ”
