Chapter 131: Something Isn't Right
After separating from the people of the General's Mansion, Yunwei insisted on sending Cao Huanhuan home.
The servants around the Cao family originally disagreed. But Yunwei said: "It's getting late at the moment, and the curfew has already passed. In addition, there are refugees outside the city today, and the patrol in this city must be stricter than in the past. If I don't have the waist card of the government, I'm afraid that my sister will be a little inconvenient on the way back......"
The Cao family is just an ordinary civilian, and naturally there is no night-time pass waist card that only those powerful families have.
After Yun Wei finished speaking, she shook the sign of the East Palace in her hand, and the servant of the Cao family could only give up and let her send it off.
Cao Huanhuan was very happy, she has always called herself a chivalrous woman in the rivers and lakes, but now it is rare to meet a noble girl from the Houmen who is also such a deed, so she didn't say a word and got into Yunwei's carriage.
Along the way, the two talked and laughed, but they didn't know that their old bottom was completely wiped out by Yunwei.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion in the west of the city.
For the sake of calming the hearts of the servants of the Cao family, Yunwei had no intention of getting out of the car, so she only sent Cao Huanhuan off the car, and then ordered the coachman to go back.
It's just that before the carriage left, she faintly saw a tall man facing Cao Huanhuan.
Yun Wei subconsciously lifted the curtain of the car and looked back.
The man was not very old, although he was wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt and dressed as a scholar, Yunwei saw a touch of cold aura from his body.
It turned out to be him?
After seeing the man's face clearly, Yun Wei loosened the curtain of the car and smiled slowly.
This time, even God is helping her.
At the gate, Cao Jiu took his sister's hand and looked her up and down carefully, leaving her unscathed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"You girl, how many times have you told you not to meddle outside, but you don't listen......" Cao Jiu was afraid while counting his sister.
He can sit in the position of the leader of the Cao Gang at a young age, and he is naturally a ruthless master, but he can't take his own sister.
God knows, he received a flying pigeon from his subordinates before, saying that his sister, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, was involved in a major case of the imperial court in the Daxiangguo Temple because of nosy, what kind of turbulent waves did he set off in his heart!
The Cao Gang has been begging for a living on the water, and the Jianghuai River Basin is their base camp; And Cao Jiu, as the leader of the gang, knows better than anyone what this Lin'an incident means!
Behind this seemingly simple flood, it involves complex interests in the imperial court, and even more involves the whereabouts of the tens of millions of taels of water conservancy silver in the Ministry of Industry every year!
Such a big case, as people from the rivers and lakes, they really can't get involved at all.
Cao Jiuhou was afraid, but Cao Huanhuan didn't realize how serious this matter was.
She smiled and briefly told her brother what happened on the mountain, but the focus was on Yunwei. "Big brother, Sister Yun said that she has good medical skills......
"Which Sister Yun?" Cao Jiu frowned.
"It's the eldest girl in the Hou Mansion in the east, Sister Yunwei." Cao Huanhuan said again: "Big brother, you don't know how powerful Sister Yun is. At that time, her sister was held hostage......"
East of the Hou Mansion?
Yun Da girl?
Cao Jiu was slightly stunned, remembering a certain girl he met in the racetrack not long ago.
At that time, the girl only glanced at him, and then said that he had been poisoned by the cold......
Cao Jiu was very impressed by the girl, and later sent someone to inquire about the girl's details, and when he learned that the girl was a girl from the East Linhou Mansion, he laughed it off and gave up completely.
After all, the last thing people like them want to provoke are the people in the official government, not to mention, the other party is still a noble lady of the Houmen.
Therefore, knowing that the girl's medical skills were good, and it was even very likely that she could relieve the cold poison in his body, Cao Jiu did not make any moves.
Now, hearing his sister say this, Cao Jiu turned around and looked at the direction in which the carriage left, and there were ripples in his heart.
For the past few days, the girl's eyes have stayed in his mind......
"Big brother, although Sister Yun was born in Houmen, she is a very good person. Why don't we ask her to come over tomorrow? Cao Huanhuan saw that his brother was silent, and couldn't help but say, "Big brother, you are getting poisoned day by day." Even Uncle Cheng said that if you don't pull out the poison again......"
Uncle Cheng is the best doctor in their Cao Gang, and he has won Cao Jiu's trust.
But he couldn't cure the cold poison in Cao Jiu's body.
"Huanhuan!" Cao Jiu frowned, wanting to say something more, but he couldn't help coughing violently.
Cao Huanhuan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly helped him. "Big brother, are you okay? It's all my fault, if I hadn't been willful in the south, you wouldn't have been blackmailed......
"Huanhuan!" Cao Jiu interrupted his sister's words of self-reproach, "This matter has nothing to do with you. ”
"It doesn't matter!" Cao Huanhuan was so anxious that she was about to cry, "If I hadn't been willful at the beginning, how could you, eldest brother, be threatened by the people of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, so that you ......?"
"Huanhuan!" Cao Jiu snapped off his sister's words, "I said, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
He knew that his sister had been blaming herself ever since he was poisoned.
Even for this matter, Cao Huanhuan, who has never believed in Buddhism, went to Daxiangguo Temple to live for 7749 days and prayed for him to pray for Buddha......
But in the original incident, Huanhuan also fell into the trap of others.
Those people were originally coming for him.
What's more, although he was forced to be poisoned by cold in Beijing this time, it may not be a bad thing.
Cao Jiu's eyes sank a little.
On the side, Cao Huanhuan saw that he was coughing badly, and couldn't help but be more anxious.
"Big brother, just listen to me once, Sister Yun's medical skills are really clever. What's more, this time I went to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for God and worship Buddha, originally for you, big brother. Now, I have begged for 7749 days and worshiped for 7749 days, and the Buddha has indeed appeared, so that I can meet Sister Yun, who is skilled in medicine......"
"Big brother, can you say, isn't this the will of heaven!" Cao Huanhuan saw that his brother had not nodded, and he was in a hurry, and he actually pulled the matter onto the Buddha.
Cao Jiu suddenly smiled, thinking of that girl, his eyes suddenly brightened a little.
Perhaps, as Huanhuan said. This time, it was the Buddha who appeared, and even God was helping him......
After Zhou Yiting entered the palace, he went straight to the imperial study.
It has been several days since the flood in Lin'an City was flooded, and now although the flood has receded, the disaster in Lin'an City is getting more and more serious.
The matter is very big, and if it is not handled well, it may cause a riot of the victims; Officials who went to the disaster relief felt very troubled, and because they were worried about the riots of the victims and the spread of the epidemic, they sent back urgent reports for help.
In the imperial study, Emperor Yun Zhou was staring at the folds on the bookcase, pondering who to go to the disaster relief.
The signs of rioting among the victims are not terrible, but the terrible thing is that if those who are infected with the plague take advantage of the chaos to run out of Lin'an City and bring the plague outside, then it is really terrible!
At that time, it will not only be Lin'an City that will have problems.
Emperor Yun Zhou had a headache.
At this moment, the top priority is to appease the people's hearts and control the epidemic in Lin'an City.
Some ministers have suggested that if there are children of the royal family who go to comfort the victims on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it will undoubtedly play a good role in reassuring people's hearts.
Emperor Yun Zhou thought so, and after thinking about it, he decided to hand over this errand to the crown prince.
The crown prince was brought up by him, and Emperor Yun Zhou was very clear about this son's ability.
What's more, now that the court situation is in chaos, the prince's hand has already become the target of public criticism because of the account book of the Ministry of Works.
At this time, let him leave the capital, so that he can avoid the limelight. Second, if the matter of Lin'an can be solved, it will also be a great achievement.
This political achievement is enough to shut up those old guys in the court.
Emperor Yun Zhou poured all his efforts into Zhou Yiting's son, and naturally hoped that he would be able to sit firmly on this dragon chair in the future.
"Gao Hai, go and see if the prince has returned to the palace."
Before Emperor Yun Zhou's words fell, Zhou Yiting walked in by himself.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Zhou Yiting saluted respectfully.
No matter what he does in front of outsiders, in front of Emperor Yun Zhou, Zhou Yiting's son will always be a humble and polite gentleman, and a good son of filial piety.
Emperor Yun Zhou glanced at him and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you accompany the girl from the Mu family to the Daxiangguo Temple outside the city?" When did you come back? ”
Zhou Yiting smiled. "My son has just come back. Does my father know that refugees from the vicinity of Lin'an have come to the outskirts of Beijing? ”
It is impossible for Emperor Yunzhou not to know about such a major event as the siege of Daxiangguo Temple by thousands of refugees.
But at this moment, since he didn't take the initiative to mention it, Zhou Yiji, who is a filial son, can only be "filial" to him, the emperor, for one more time.
"Father, when my son just returned to Beijing, I took a look at it by the way, and those victims who came to Lin'an were afraid that something was wrong." As for what is inappropriate, although Zhou Yiting did not say it explicitly, he put the problem in front of Emperor Yun Zhou.
The corners of Emperor Yunzhou's mouth twitched, and he said, "I called you here just for this matter." ”
"It turns out that my father already knows." Zhou Yizhu looked up at Emperor Yun Zhou.
The father and son looked at each other tacitly.
This little (old) fox.
Emperor Yun Zhou coughed lightly: "Prince, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Zhou Yiting pretended not to know, and only made a blank look: "This matter ...... Father Emperor is wise, hasn't he already sent General Nanshan to lead the troops to disperse those victims? ”
Emperor Yun Zhou touched his chin and said slowly, "I'm talking about Lin'an City. ”
His son is really becoming more and more cunning.
Zhou Yiting didn't answer, and put on a posture of listening to his ears.
He knew that Emperor Yun Zhou valued himself very much. As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in the heavenly family.
In this palace, even if it is between close relatives such as father and son, there will inevitably be more calculations and suspicions.
He didn't want this, and Emperor Yun Zhou didn't want to.
