Chen Zhiyi didn't sleep all night. When Murong Jin entered the palace, she and Xie Ran ran ran out to inquire about the news, and heard that it was a black market explosion, and the people suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.

The lives of successive emperors will be recorded in the history books, and the same is true for the current emperors. For the sake of his reputation in the history books and the opinions of future generations, he had to find out about this matter and give an explanation to the people of the capital and the world of Nanyu.

But who will be the one to investigate the matter thoroughly?

The emperor did not say.

Xie Enran went back to accompany Prime Minister Xie, Chen Zhiyan didn't find Murong Jin today, and wanted to go into the palace to find Xie Fanghua, but the emperor issued an order not to let there be any contact between inside and outside the palace.

So Chen Zhiyi wanted to go to the black to have a look.

When she went, Yu Shangshu had already beckoned people to remove most of the injured people, and she heard that the people had been removed and taken to the eastern suburbs of the forest, where tents were set up to give porridge. Yu Shangshu not only took money from the treasury from the Ministry of Industry, but also donated money from his own small treasury, of course, where he came from the small treasury, it is unknown.

In the palace, Concubine Yu was half-leaning on the chaise longue, her expression was in a trance, and her face was a little pale.

In the past few days, there have been no more deaths in Yongqing Palace, but Concubine Yu was frightened, and her proposal to move the palace to Queen Xia was also rejected.

Now it's good, and now there is news of the explosion of the black market. How did Concubine Yu not know what her father Yu Shangshu was doing in black? Even if it had nothing to do with the explosion, since the emperor said that he would investigate thoroughly, how could he not find out that someone in the black was selling salt in large quantities?

"Niangniang," the palace maid Biyue walked over and took a stand for Concubine Yu, "Are you worried about the black explosion?" Your Majesty asked Lord Shangshu to appease the people, that is a trust in him, don't worry, Niangniang, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body......"

Biyue didn't know what Concubine Yu was thinking, but Concubine Gui's face was full of worry, and Biyue still wanted to comfort her.

Not only that, Biyue felt that the concubine was still worried about the affairs of Yongqing Palace. Even if no little palace maid committed suicide now, she knew that the concubine had been awakened by nightmares for the past few nights, otherwise she would not have been sick because of the fright.

Concubine Yu didn't look up at her, and asked softly, "Biyue, who do you think Your Majesty will send to thoroughly investigate the black market?" ”

When Biyue heard this, she quickly knelt down, and said in a panic: "Concubine Niangniang, the affairs of the court, the slave and maid dare not speak falsely." ”

"Well, get up." Concubine Yu coughed a few times and waved her hand weakly. She actually didn't expect Biyue to say a few words, if she could, she really wanted to tell the emperor to let Yu Shangshu investigate this matter thoroughly, but now, Yu Guifei was powerless and couldn't help Yu Shangshu.

After Biyue got up, she glanced at Concubine Yu Guifei, who was drooping her head and eyes blankly, and said with some hesitation: "Niangniang, forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, the slave and maid think that General Murong may be a candidate for the investigation of this matter." ”

Biyue told her that last night the emperor only called three ministers to discuss the matter of the black market, one of them was Murong Jin, why did the emperor call a military general to discuss? Perhaps in his heart, Murong Jin is the best person to investigate the black market.

When Concubine Yu heard this, her eyelashes trembled, and she muttered, "General Murong? Xie Fanghua ......"

Speaking of Xie Fanghua, she is now sitting in the courtyard of Jinhua Hall and painting!

It is a painting of flowers and birds, painting peacocks and peonies, there are two peacocks with an unopened screen, one stands on a high place, with sharp eyes, looking into the distance, and the other sits on the ground, with its tail feathers hanging down, opening its mouth to comb its feathers.

Needless to say, Xie Fanghua's best flower is peony. The peony under her hand can be elegant, but graceful.

After hooking the stamen of the peony flower, Xie Fanghua put down the pen and pinched his right hand, which was a little sore, "Qingzhi, Your Majesty sent Murong to secretly investigate the explosion of the black market, are you sure?" ”

Xie Fanghua had already asked Qingzhi to secretly inquire about the news.

Qingzhi nodded, "Hui Niangniang, that's what Father-in-law Sheng Zong said." ”

"Sheng Zong......" Xie Fanghua read this person's name again, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an unpredictable smile, "Is Yu Wu ready?" ”

Xie Fanghua asked, and at the same time, he adjusted the * and yellow pigments, ready to sprinkle them on the flowers.

"The few people rescued by Yu Wu, the slaves and maids were all arranged on Buyun Street, and there was a human witness. Yu Wu told the slave maid that he would get the physical evidence when Yu Shangshu traveled to appease the people, as for the silver mine...... He said there would be a few more days of delay. Qingzhi said.

"You tell Yu Wu that he doesn't need to worry," Xie Fanghua sprinkled*, and his hands were stained with some paint, "Yu family...... Naturally, you have to deal with it slowly. By the way, is the concubine on her birthday in February? ”

"Hui Niangniang, yes."

Xie Fanghua dipped his ink and was ready to withdraw money, and after listening to Qingzhi's words, he smiled lightly again.

Chen Zhiyu went to the eastern suburbs to take a look, the people there were very pitiful, all the traces of fire burns on their bodies, Chen Zhiyu also saw Murong Jin, he was also giving porridge to the people.

The people lined up, Murong Jin personally took a bowl of porridge and handed it to the people, when Chen Zhiyi went over to look, Murong Jin was handing a bowl of white porridge to a thin and short person, and gave him a big white flour steamed bun, "Take it over there and eat!" ”

"Thank you, General Murong, thank you, General Murong." The thin and short man struggled to hold the bowl, looked at Murong Jin gratefully, and thanked him. Chen Zhiyi noticed that the man's hand was still trembling, and he must have been too excited and happy.

"Brother Jin," Chen Zhiyi walked up to Murong Jin, took another big spoon and smiled at him, "I'll help you." ”

Murong Jin had already guessed that Chen Zhiyi would come here, so he was not surprised by her arrival, "Okay." ”

When two people do things together, it will naturally be faster, but there are too many people suffering, Chen Zhiyi feels that there are some beggars on the street, they are not injured, but when they encounter such a good thing as soup porridge in the imperial court, how can they not come and mingle?

Fortunately, Murong Jin only automatically offered to help, and Yu Shangshu also set up a porridge shed, and also called the people from Yu's mansion to give porridge.

Seeing Murong Jin and Chen Zhiyi's busy appearance, Yu Shangshu, who was standing not far away with his hands behind his back, frowned.

Behind him stood Liying.

"The old man asked you to follow Yu Wu last night, and he didn't make any moves?" Yu Shangshu finally got free time, of course, he had to ask about yesterday's events clearly.

If the black market explosion has nothing to do with Yu Wu, then Yu Shangshu can trust him, and the silver mine will be slowly transferred to Yu Wu, but if it is related to Yu Wu, Yu Shangshu cannot guarantee whether Yu Wu is dead or alive.

Although he only has this one son, doesn't the Yu family have other collaterals?

Liying thought for a while, "Lord Shangshu, the second young master went to the Yuxiang Building for dinner last night, and then walked around the street and didn't do anything. The subordinates can guarantee that the explosion of the black market has nothing to do with the second young master. ”

Liying naturally couldn't tell Yu Shangshu that he and Yu Wu were still shopping together, but what he said was the truth.

Of course, there was one thing that Yu Shangshu was hidden from - when Yu Wu was eating in the Yuxiang Building, Liying did not go in, but waited for him outside the Yuxiang Building.

Yu Shangshu took a deep breath and glanced at Murong Jin meaningfully, "Who do you think Your Majesty will send to secretly investigate?" ”

Liying paid attention to Yu Shangshu's gaze, and also looked at Murong Jin, the porridge had been beaten, and Murong Jin and Chen Zhiyi were cleaning up the table and preparing to go back.

"Lord Shangshu already has the answer in his heart, doesn't he?"

"Yes...... Yu Shangshu did have an answer, but he never imagined that His Majesty would let Murong Jin investigate secretly.

Who is Murong Jin? A general, he may be good at marching and fighting, but investigating this kind of thing is a big trouble for him.

What's more, hasn't the emperor always disliked Xie Zhaoyi? In this case, as Xie Zhaoyi's so-called "elder brother", it stands to reason that His Majesty should not let him deal with this matter......

The more Yu Shangshu thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, and he even remembered his daughter in the palace.

Concubine Yu is sick, and she has been taking medicine for the past few days, is it better now?

This is his only daughter, who has been spoiled by him since she was a child, but now she has suffered the most unhappy thing in her life. Yu Shangshu heard that His Majesty went to see Concubine Yu a few times, but he didn't stay for long, and he left after a while.

By the way, there is also a concubine Wang Shu who is pregnant with a dragon in the palace, and His Majesty is probably very nervous about Concubine Wang Shu now.

Yu Shangshu thought, his brows twisted into a ball, looking like a "Sichuan" character.

"Zhiyi," Murong Jin called someone from the Chen Mansion to carry things, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and remembered that he still had a task to do, "I still have something to deal with in a while, so I won't go back, you tell the master not to worry." ”

"Brother Jin, aren't you hungry?" Chen Zhiyi had a busy day and only ate a bowl of porridge with pickles. The pickles are real pickles, too idle, but they have a taste, and they are eaten with tasteless white porridge, and they don't need to be chewed, just swallow them.

Chen Zhiyi didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Murong Jin realized that he had only drunk half a bowl of porridge, and now he was indeed hungry, and he coughed lightly, "Then go back to eat." ”

"Let's go to Yuxiang House to eat, shall we? When I went with Xie Eran that day, I had a new dish, which was a big crab from Dongting Lake, which was cold and cold, dipped in vinegar and eaten, and it was very delicious. Chen Zhiyi remembered that he met Yu Wu that day. As for the big crab in Yuxianglou, she also ate two of them, and then her stomach was uncomfortable, and she fell asleep late when she went home.

Hearing Chen Zhiyi say this, Murong Jin couldn't help but knock her on the head, "The weather is getting colder, and Ran is still taking you to eat something cold?" ”

In fact, Xie Lenran didn't let her eat it, but could he stop Chen Zhiyi? Unstoppable.

Chen Zhiyi touched the back of his head and smirked, but he thought that he would eat two crabs later, not too big, so as not to be unable to sleep tonight.
