Chapter 307: The Incident Spreads to Beijing

The night passed, and the next morning, the first thing that reached Yi Yu's ears was not the news that the city's commercial banks had opened a large warehouse to sell grain, but the news of Dai Liang's death.

"What? He committed suicide by taking poison? ”

Yi Yu sat up straight, waiting for Deng Wenying, who came to the door early in the morning, to give him an explanation.

Deng Wenying sighed and said:

"Alas, yesterday Dai Liang fainted in the public court, and the lower officials temporarily detained him in a prison waiting for interrogation.

"Can you have the guy examine the body and make sure he was poisoned?" Yi Yu intuitively felt that something was wrong, and Dai Liang should not be as simple as committing suicide in fear of sin.

In a confrontation in court yesterday, she could see that Dai Liang, who fought with her to the end, was not a person who would compromise easily, in other words, the charge of rebellion had not yet been decided, why did he rush to seek death?

Or is it that someone doesn't want him to live longer?

Deng Wenying was still hesitant to tell Yiyu about the filthy things of these dead people, but when he saw that she looked like she was inquiring to the end, he replied aloud:

"The corpse has been checked, and it is indeed poisoned and died, probably late yesterday night, the jailers all rested, and there were few patrols, so they could not be found in time."

"Did anyone visit him in prison yesterday?"

Deng Wenying shook his head very surely, "This subordinate has already been examined in detail, and the detention of such a felony as him is arranged in a separate cell, and someone must enter to visit, and it is necessary to have the handprint of the subordinate official." ”

Hearing this, Yu Yu doubted his speculation again, could it be that this Dai Liang really committed suicide, and was not killed by anyone?

"In this case, Lord Deng will take me to the mortuary to have a look now."

Deng Wenying's eyes lit up, he had heard about the deeds of this princess of Wei from his wife more than once, in April last year, a strange case of 28 people was killed in the big book building of Chang'an City, and even the criminal department was helpless, but it was broken in the hands of this princess.

He would come over to see him so early, just because he felt that Dai Liang's death had a side cause, and he wanted to come and hear her high opinion.

"Master," Ping Hui interrupted Yu impatiently, her face full of disapproval, "your body is heavy right now, how can you go to such an unclean place." ”

Yi Yu hesitated for a moment, touched her stomach, Ping Hui was afraid that she would be confused, so she couldn't care about much, so she directly moved the Lu family out:

"If you are like this, the slaves and maids can go to the old lady, and if you have any problems, the slaves and maids should not live."

"Okay, then I won't go," Yu Yu didn't have a choice, Xiaoxiao still gave up the urge to find out, after all, nothing is more important than the child in her belly at the moment, although she doesn't believe in evil, but it is indeed unlucky to deal with dead people while pregnant.

Deng Wenying was secretly glared at by Ping Hui, and while secretly saying that the maids in the Wei Palace's mansion were all other powerful, he used coughing to hide the disappointment on his face:

"Cough, don't worry, princess, although Dai Liang is dead, but several other people have already pleaded guilty, and when the next official collects all the evidence, within two days, this case will be closed, and those guilty will be punished, so as to comfort the souls of those innocent victims in heaven."

"The deceased is gone, and the priority is to settle the living."

Seeing the retribution of the bad guys, Yu Yu did not feel happy, on the contrary, he felt a little lonely in his heart, those dead homeless people were just ordinary people, and the culprits who killed them were all from the Shi clan, according to the law, no matter how heavy the punishment was, it was impossible to pay for the lives of the dead.

But on the bright side, with this lesson, those helpless homeless people can finally start their lives again, and they no longer have to live a life of hiding.

Thinking of this, Yu Yu regained his strength, and discussed with Deng Wenying how to settle those who had been detained and enslaved.

Anyang City was a wave of subsidence, but an official document was sent from the county government, quickly passed to the capital, and was presented to the Son of Heaven, and there were waves again in the early dynasty that day.

There are victims every year, this year the north has suffered a major drought, and the south has encountered waterlogging, the imperial court is not without opening a warehouse to help the people, but this grain is transported from Guanzhong to the north and south, passing through several checkpoints, I don't know that it has been privately swallowed by the power of various places, and it has been reduced to a few percent.

The lack of food supply has caused a large number of hungry people to leave their homes to survive, and the number of displaced people in various places has increased dramatically for a while.

The case of buying and selling victims in Anyang City was exposed, which can be said to have set off a thousand waves in Beijing.

Whether it is forcibly enslaving the victims, killing innocents indiscriminately, making profits from them, or using the homeless people to make weapons privately, which one is enough to make Long Yan angry.

As soon as the emperor lost his temper, more than a dozen tokens were sent down, check!

Check whose pockets the food and cloth he sent out for disaster relief, check which of the silver that rhymed out of Beijing for disaster relief was boldly withheld, and check that there are a few bastards who harbor evil intentions outside of Anyang City!

So the next morning, several of them were sent to a distant land, along with several edicts.

At the end of February, after the case was settled, with the cooperation of the wealthy families in the city, Yiyu successfully resettled more than half of the victims in a group of huts built overnight in the south of the city.

Sun Lei clearly conveyed the meaning of the jade to these escaped victims - do it yourself, have enough food and clothing.

Because of the hunger and cold, Xu was cold-eyed, and finally had a place to rest, and none of the victims who were temporarily sheltered raised any objections.

After a full meal and a good night's sleep, under the leadership of the craftsmen sent by the Governor's Office, you pick stones, I cut wood, you build walls, I reclaim land, move bricks and tiles, and devote ourselves to the labor of rebuilding homes in full swing.

Yi Yu once quietly took a car to the wasteland in the south of the city to see, parked far away on the side of the road, opened the curtains, and could hear the hearty laughter and the unique trumpet singing of the northern villagers across half of the grove.

Looking at the children running in the fields in the distance, the glow of the sky dyed red, curling with smoke, warmed people's hearts.

"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the cold people in the world are happy, and the wind and rain do not move... An Rushan. ”

She should be grateful, she may not have the same heart as the poet who wrote this poem, so she hesitated at first, but fortunately she chose to do it in the end, rather than leaving regrets and regrets, like the "poor man" who died guarding a huge fortune in that short little story.

"Master, there's a letter from the capital!"

Ping Hui jumped into the house, stuck out her tongue at Ping Tong, who was grinding ink for the relics, and in the warning gaze of her eldest sister, she restrained her step, walked over in a proper manner, and put the letter in her hand on the table.

Pingtong had just a head injury, and lay on the bed for half a month, with the approval of Imperial Doctor Li, he resumed his work, and as soon as he took up his post, he took care of the big and small affairs around Yuyu, including the maids who made mistakes in the past few days of her recuperation, and they should also be punished, and they should be taught a lesson, and the discipline was re-disciplined.

Yi Yu was happy when he saw the signature on the envelope, opened it and read it, and patted the table with a smile, and said yes again and again.

"Master, what kind of happy event is it?"

The letter was sent by Feng Yating, not a post station, but a special trip to find a skilled guard to ride a horse to Anyang, and properly handed it over to Yu Yu.

"It's a good thing, and there are two things," Yi Yu pointed two fingers at the maids, and when he saw their faces full of curiosity, he picked out one thing that could be said and told them:

"Xiaofeng, she gave birth safely last month, and she is a son."

Qi Zheng is not young, he had a son just a year after he got married, and everyone who is happy must be stupid.

"Yikes! Really, Mrs. Qi gave birth to a son! A few maids chattered.

"What is written in the letter can still be fake," Yi Yu smiled on his face, and he couldn't get down.

In addition to this good thing, the other one is not bad, at the beginning of the year, Qinwenge held a simple sale, and the calligraphy and paintings of various grades sorted out were sold for a total of more than 7,000 yuan.

This time she made a lot of money, and Yu Yu sent a letter to Shi Lian half a month ago, asking her to divide the money into two parts, one red for the sisters in the society, and the rest in the name of the Moying Literary Society, sent to Huainan and the northern disaster areas in batches.

Feng Yating's reply to the letter told her that the matter had been done, not only that, but the lady in the society heard that she was going to take a share of the money to go out to help the victims, so she spontaneously refused this time to pay dividends, and sent all the money, or exchanged for rice, grain, and silk, to the disaster area.

This thoughtfulness and kindness made Yi Yu very happy, although she originally planned to let go of this income, but she was afraid that Mo Ying was not a word, so she compromised and took half of it, but they didn't expect them to take it themselves.

Feng Yating also joked in the letter that this time the sisters in the society were complacent, saying that they had done a chivalrous deed of "robbing the rich and helping the poor".

When Yu Yu thought about it, she felt that they were so clever in making money from the rich to help the poor, wasn't it just robbing the rich to help the poor.

Hearing that Cheng Xiaofeng gave birth to a big fat boy, Yi Yu happily asked people to invite the Lu family to talk, and the person sent there ran away and brought the little maid in the Lu family's yard to talk.

As soon as Yi Yu asked, she heard that the Lu family went out to visit the flower market in the morning, and then she remembered that her mother said yesterday that she was going out today, and she didn't plan to study it in detail, but the little girl had one more sentence:

"Don't worry, the princess, the old lady is going with her uncle."

Lu Shi came back from outside, just after dinner, he lowered his head and entered the door, and walked slowly to the door of the bedroom.

"Mother, are you back, have you eaten?"

Lu Shi turned his head in a trance, and saw his daughter smiling at her, his face somehow became hot, and he answered her vaguely:

"Well, I've eaten it outside."

There were not a few lights and candles in the room, and Yi Yu saw Lu Shi's discomfort with sharp eyes, as well as a blush on his face, and he could probably guess a little bit with a turn of his brain.

She didn't resist any progress in the relationship between the Lu family and Han Li, as long as Han Li could coax her mother to live happily.

Yi Yu snickered in her heart, but there was only a filial look on her face, "It's good to eat, my mother has been shopping for a day, she should be tired, I won't bother you, you can rest early." ”
