After a long journey of more than a month, Wang Wenqian returned with the imperial mission.

When you go to beat the gongs and drums, when you come back, the flags and drums die down, which becomes the most stark contrast.

When he returned to the capital, he went directly to Ling Mansion to see Ling Qingyue, hoping that he would mediate and not cause the monstrous anger of the Long Live Lord.

Wang Wenqian was meticulous in everything, and told Ling Qingyue what happened to the group in Beihu.

Ling Qingyue's face was gloomy, and she muttered: "That blind girl has become a fine work of Beihu and helps the Beihu people to give advice?" ”

Wang Wenqian nodded firmly.

Ling Qingyue didn't ask, but said, "What about the copper coins that Tu Xiuxiu asked you to get back?" ”

Wang Wenqian hurriedly presented it and explained: "Adult, the small one has been checked, and it is an ordinary copper coin. ”

Ling Qingyue ignored him, poured the copper coins on the table, and carefully counted ---- sixty-six coins.

Ling Qingyue pondered for a long time and said, "I see. ”

Ling Qingyue hurriedly called Jia Xiaoliu in and said, "Little Liu'er, bring over Tu Xiuxiu's box of copper coins, pour them out, and count them well, how many copper coins there are." ”

Jia Xiaoliu: "......"

Wang Wenqian: "......"

The two of them have the same goal, and what they think in their hearts is: My lord, even if you are the head of the household department, and you are worried about spending money all over the country and various departments, but you will not be such a miser, a copper plate and a copper plate, right?

The money was poured to the ground, and Jia Xiaoliu counted it with twelve or thirteen guards, and finally came to the conclusion that sixty-six pieces were missing.

and Tu Xiuxiu asked Wang Wenqian to get back the sixty-six pieces of one plus, which happened to be five hundred taels of silver given to her by Yu Tong.

The guards put the coins back into the chest.

One of the guards picked up a white Go chess piece from the ground and presented it to Ling Qingyue, "My lord, this is your chess piece, right?" ”

Ling Qingyue took the chess pieces in surprise and looked at them carefully.

The high-grade Yunzi is not from the Ling family, there is only one possibility, it is mixed in the copper plate.

The guards carried the copper coins away.

Ling Qingyue was thinking about things calmly, and Wang Wenqian was not easy to disturb, but he was tired all the way, and he came directly to Ling Qingyue, and his stomach was so hungry that he was close to his back.

I was hungry, and my nose instantly caught a fragrance -----hen soup!!

It's so fragrant!

Wang Wenqian took a deep breath of the aroma, feeling that all four feet were comfortable, except for his stomach, he was even more hungry except for ----his stomach.

The fragrance was getting closer and closer, the door was knocked, Xiangling pushed the door in, and Qiao'er was holding a large cup of old hen soup in her hand.

At first glance, he saw Ling Qingyue's work of forgetting to sleep and eat, and took the initiative to send soup.

Finding that Wang Wenqian was also in the house, Xiangling's eyes lit up and said, "Wang Siqing has come back from Beihu?" ”

Wang Wenqian hurriedly bowed and said, "Xiaguan just entered Beijing in the morning, so he came to visit the adults in a hurry and disturbed the adults' meals. ”

Xiangling said lightly: "It's okay, I'll let Qiao'er add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and the two of you will eat together in the study, and then talk about things after dinner." ”

Qiao'er went to the room to get dishes and chopsticks.

Wang Wenqian's heart was full of joy, and his mouth was so hungry that he was full of liquid.

Xiangling asked, "How is Beihu and his party?" ”

Wang Wenqian sighed and said, "It's not good, I only purchased less than a hundred donkey skins." ”

Ling Qingyue interjected: "You don't call it procurement, you call it 'empty gloves white wolf', you didn't spend a penny, and you exchanged it by hand......"

How did this sound like a boast, Wang Wenqian's face turned red as soon as he brushed it.

Xiangling was very supportive of Wang Wenqian and comforted: "Before your purchasing group went to Beihu, the information about the exchange of soybeans for donkey skins had already spread, and the Beihu people had already taken precautions, so it was a miracle that you could buy them smoothly." ”

Wang Wenqian said with a look of annoyance: "It's all to blame for that Tu Xiuxiu, if she hadn't been a hindrance, we would have no problem getting back more than 1,000 donkey skins." ”

Xiangling was surprised: "Tu Xiuxiu? Has she arrived in Beihu? Still blocking your movements? ”

Wang Wenqian nodded and said: "Her eyes are cured, she was accepted by Yu Tong as a concubine, and she is pregnant, under her obstruction, we have been blocked from buying donkey skins again and again, and everyone in the imperial mission is injured, she is a sinner of Daqi!" ”

Xiangling was a little dumbfounded, in only two months, Tu Xiuxiu completed several major events in her life together, treason, treatment, marriage, pregnancy, and it was really not ambiguous at all.

Ling Qingyue shook her head and said: "You are only afraid of mistaking Tu Xiuxiu, she is a good woman of our Daqi and a heroic female of our country, when the truth can be announced to the world, I must suggest to the Lord of Long Live to set up a monument for her and her family." ”

Wang Wenqian and Xiangling were both confused by Ling Qingyue.

Ling Qingyue's eyes contained a layer of mist, picked up the purse that Tu Xiuxiu had brought back to Wang Wenqian, poured out sixty-six copper plates from it, and explained:

"Sixty-six copper coins, the number six is the separation hexagram, the separation is the fire, the fire is the heart, Tu Xiuxiu wants to tell you that she is in Beihu and her heart is in Daqi. It's a pity that her delicate heart was mistakenly paid to the pig, and the chicken and duck talked about it, you didn't understand what she meant. ”

Wang Wenqian: "......"

Wang Wenqian's forehead was sweating, and he was annoyed by his stupidity.

Fortunately, he didn't throw away the copper coin, picked it up one by one, and handed it over to someone who could read it, so that Tu Xiuxiu's patriotism did not go down the drain.

Wang Wenqian's eyes were also red, and he said with a puzzled expression: "Who will this Zhanxiuxiu be?" ”

As a weak woman, but she went deep into Beihu alone, she must have a strong hatred with Beihu as a support, otherwise she would not be able to endure so many humiliations, be blind, dedicate herself to the enemy, and even become pregnant......

Ling Qingyue spread out the palm of her hand, revealing the pure black chess piece inside and said, "Tu Xiuxiu's copper coin was taken from the copper plate that Yu Tong gave her, it should be to remind us that she left a clue in the copper plate, and it is it." ”

Wang Wenqian continued: "This is the Yunzi produced in Zhanwang County, Yunhe County, it is the purest and best Yunzi in Daqi, and I also have a pair of Yunzi in my family, is her family engaged in business and produces Yunzi?" ”

Ling Qingyue shook her head and said: "Zhanwang County was originally not called Zhanwang County, but Yunwang County, and later a famous family came out, and the emperor personally issued an edict the year before last to change its name to Zhanwang County. ”

Wang Wenqian said in a trembling voice: "Are you talking about a loyal and martyr exhibitor? ”

Ling Qingyue nodded and said: "The four generations of loyal martyrs of the Zhan family, the last son, is the deputy vanguard of Yang Zhongguo, when Yu Da led the Beihu people into the hinterland to fight, the Zhan pioneer was killed by Yu Da, and the Zhan family has been extinct since then, and there is no son, even the Long Live Lord can't help but be moved." Looking at her age, Tu Xiuxiu should be the granddaughter of the Zhan family, and her real name should be Zhan Xiuxiu. ”

It turned out to be so.

Wang Wenqian and Xiangling's eyes were sour, especially Xiangling, tears couldn't be stopped, what a great belief this is, loyal to the country, sacrificing one's life and forgetting death.

Ling Qingyue continued to say to Wang Wenqian: "Your trip this time, buying donkey skins is a small matter, helping Zhan Xiuxiu to hand over the name certificate to Beihu is a big deal, it is much more important than us buying tens of thousands of donkey skins, you have made a meritorious contribution by mistake." ”

Wang Wenqian couldn't help but be stunned.

The purpose of his coming to Ling Qingyue was to avoid arousing the thunderous wrath of the Long Live Lord and condemning him and his twenty men.

Now that the style of painting has changed, from a sinner to a hero, this feeling is quite poignant.

Ling Qingyue hurriedly splashed Wang Wenqian with cold water and said: "For the safety of Zhan Xiuxiu, Long Live Lord will definitely punish you and your subordinates on the surface, but it will definitely not be punished heavily, at most it will be fined, and I will help you get the reward back in private and make up for it." There is only one request, strictly keep secrets, and show off the show, which is limited to the three of us, plus Long Live Lord knows, understand? ”

Wang Wenqian and Xiangling nodded at the same time.

The sad mood finally diluted a little, Wang Wenqian's stomach "gurgled", and said to Ling Qingyue aggrievedly: "Ling Shangshu, can I drink chicken soup?" ”

Ling Qingyue personally filled the old hen soup, and kindly filled several pieces of chicken and handed it to Wang Wenqian.

Wang Wenqian didn't drink the soup and directly bit a large piece of chicken.

Ling Qingyue's eyes rolled, and she smiled slightly: "During your absence, Miss Zhou got married......

Wang Wenqian suddenly felt that the meat was not fragrant and choked.
