Chapter 410: Suspicious Appearance
Lan Jing'an lowered her eyes sullenly and said nothing. How did she not know that it was the best choice for Guo Ziqing not to show up for the time being, but when she heard the news yesterday, she immediately took control, and with Feng Shen's ability, she would definitely not let the news that Guo Ziqing was still alive flow back to Yangzhou. Besides, if you really want to pass on the news, in addition to Si Li, there is Jingzhou in the middle, and it is impossible for Sun Wei to let people go.
She finally got Guo Ziqing's letter of approval, if she let him fool him again this time, who knows if that kid will change his mind and be as disobedient as before? It is important to punish beetles, but if Guo Ziqing has not yet made a qualification, in the long run, it will also be unfavorable to the country.
Guo Ziqing only listened to Emperor Qiyun's instructions to him: "During this time, you can recuperate in the Prime Minister's Mansion with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about it for the time being." When the injury is healed, I will go to the court. If you want to enter the palace, let Feng Shen pick you up. Guo Ziqing honestly agreed, knowing that his injury was estimated to have to be recuperated for at least a month.
Xiao Qingyun took a few people to discuss how to deal with the affairs of Yangzhou, especially how to solve Han Jinming without blood. It wasn't until a few people got up that Xiao Qingyun said: "In addition to what is known so far, don't alarm others for the time being, and still treat it as a water treatment." He specially instructed Bai Qingfeng: "Especially over there in Shaofu, let Gu Qishun be careful and don't show your feet." Bai Qingfeng nodded and agreed.
The beginning of the matter in Yangzhou still depends on Gu Qishun, who is the secretary of the young government. In March, Gu Qishun passed by the weaving room, and happened to hear the palace people complaining to the little steward of the weaving room that the quality of Suya was not good this year, and even more angrily said that he wanted to make a jacket with arrowroot.
After Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an entered the Xingle Palace, they ordered nearly half of the palace to be closed and many palace people were dismissed, so that they could save some money and improve the quality of life below. Even so, the silk cloth distributed by the palace people is not enough to make a whole dress, and the bottom still has to wear a cloth skirt. However, a silk coat has become the best weapon to gather the hearts of the palace people, and the palace people are all grateful to Dade, and they are proud to be able to wear the silk robe, no matter inside or outside the palace, even if it is the day of annual leave, they always volunteer to wear the palace clothes.
Now they even say that they would rather leave Su Aya and use kudzu cloth instead, how is this possible?! Gu Qishun sensed that something was wrong at that time. He didn't alarm the weaving room order, first found his henchmen to find the palace people who got this batch of Su Aya, and secretly exchanged a few Su Aya back. As a result, the quality of the batch of Suya was really poor, not only the color was not correct, the texture was messy, but also the tenacity was insufficient, and it was broken when it was torn, which was far from the level of Suya in previous years.
Gu Qishun turned his head to investigate the other fabrics, and found that the problem was limited to this batch of plain silk, and the other kudzu silk satin, even the yellow silk and green silk in the silk cloth were fine. The silk cloth on the palace people is distributed according to rank, and only the lowest palace people will wear plain silk, and there has never been anyone in front of him who wears plain silk. Gu Qishun suddenly realized, no wonder he hadn't been able to hear the slightest rumor.
Gu Qishun personally checked the account book and saw that the price of silk cloth was exactly the same as in previous years. He carefully traced the origin of Lingbu and found that the origin has not changed, and it is still from Yangzhou. He was a little confused about the situation, he didn't know if it was the problem of the weaving room order, or if there was something involved in Yangzhou, so he went to Dingwangfu that night.
Dingwang Bai Qingfeng is not only Gu Qishun's uncle-in-law, but also leads the position of Dasi Nong, in charge of the entire country's taxes and money. So even the accounts of Shaofu's side need to be reported to him. After listening to Gu Qishun's report, Bai Qingfeng thought of Yangzhou always crying poor in the past two years, and there was nothing wrong with the neighboring Jingzhou and Xuzhou. Even if it is handed over to the state after the collection, the tax is paid sufficiently. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that something was wrong.
Bai Qingfeng and Gu Qishun secretly investigated for a few days, and then vaguely aimed the finger at Yangzhou. The two quickly stabbed the matter to Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an, which led to Guo Ziqing's trip to Yangzhou. After months of dedication and life-saving investigation, Guo Ziqing once again proved his ability. Xiao Qingyun was thinking about waiting for the dust to settle in Yangzhou, and then compensate a few people, especially to take the opportunity to promote Guo Ziqing.
Because Guo Ziqing was injured, Lan Jingan asked Feng Shen to send him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first. Several others went to the Changxin Hall again to discuss the matter of dealing with the Xiongnu.
At that time, several people in the Changxin Hall were discussing hotly, and in the secluded bamboo office in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Guo Ziqing sent his servants, and only one person sat in front of the desk, staring at the words on the paper and thinking carefully. I saw that on the paper in front of him, the words "Gu", "Feng" and "He" had been crossed out, and only the words "Xiao", "Liu" and "Chen" remained.
Guo Ziqing thought about it again and again, and then crossed out the word "Xiao" from the paper, and only used his fingers to move between the surnames "Liu" and "Chen". a civil servant, a military general; One is a relative, but only three daughters; is the most favored eldest daughter, but not her own. Guo Ziqing half-narrowed his eyes and pondered.
Before Guo Ziqing could think clearly, a little girl in a pink coat had already broken in despite the obstruction of her servants, and shouted as she ran: "Little uncle, you are back!" Guo Ziqing heard the movement, quickly crumpled the paper in his hand and hid it in his sleeve, and then got up to greet the bouncing little dot.
The little girl was only five or six years old, and when she was cute, she pounced on Guo Ziqing's leg and refused to let go, raised a smiling face, and said in a chatter: "Does the little uncle miss Xiaoxing?" Xiaoxing thinks about his little uncle every day. ”
Guo Ziqing was already injured, and it was even more difficult to be pounced by her. Before he could say anything to let the little girl go, he heard an angry voice coming from behind: "Zhang Nanxing, you come out for me!" Don't think that hiding here, I can't do anything about you! ”
The little girl named Zhang Nanxing, when she heard this voice, was so frightened that she immediately let go, quickly looked left and right, and hid it in Guo Ziqing's bookcase. Bian Zang didn't forget to gesture to Guo Ziqing and asked him to cover it up for himself. Chasing the little girl was a young woman who was not in time, she was angry again, and when she saw Guo Ziqing, she still didn't forget to salute the rules: "My niece has seen Uncle Shi." Xiaoxing is rude, I'm afraid that I'm going to make trouble for Uncle Shi again. The niece took her back. ”
Guo Ziqing saw the stained ink on her clothes at a glance, and he didn't have to think about it, it must have been Nanxing who went to Nanman to make trouble again, so he would be chased after Manxiangfu, and even hid in him to avoid trouble.
Guo Ziqing showed a hint of a smile, pointed to the bookcase, and Zhang Nanman knew. Zhang Nanxing was hiding unsteadily, when she saw that the bookcase suddenly opened, and Zhang Nanman, who had a black face, had appeared in front of her, and stretched out his hand to pull her out. Zhang Nanxing shouted and complained to Guo Ziqing: "Uncle is not kind, I will never play with you again in the future." ”
Zhang Nanman was busy holding down the little girl's dishonest hands and feet, and at the same time taught her with a tense face: "How many times have I taught you, can you call the little uncle?" I want to call Uncle Shi. I'll take you to your mother and see what she has to say. ”
As soon as Zhang Nanxing heard this, he immediately relented: "Good eighth sister, it's all Xiaoxing's fault, you can spare me this time." I promise I won't go to your room again. Zhang Nanman turned a deaf ear, and pulled Zhang Nanxing, who was still shouting "little uncle help", out of the hidden bamboo place.
Guo Ziqing looked at the pair of distant sisters and shook his head helplessly, and sat back in front of the case. If only Nanman's upright temperament could be neutralized with Nanxing's excessive naughtiness, such a gentle and lively woman... Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then silently pushed the red bean cake in front of him farther.
