Chapter XII
Xiao Yu walked into Chen Xinyu's courtyard and watched her and Xiao Ming sitting in the courtyard talking, seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood.
"What about your two brothers?" Xiao Yu walked over as he spoke, sat down, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite.
Chen Xinyu heard Xiao Yu's voice and wanted to turn around to give a salute, but was stopped by Xiao Yu: "You don't need to give a salute when you see me in the future." ”
Chen Xinyu nodded and said, "They accompanied me for a while, and then they were called by General Zhao, the eldest brother went to follow His Royal Highness the Prince, and the second brother went back to the barracks." ”
Xiao Yu chewed the osmanthus cake and nodded: "It's not as delicious as your mother's cooking." ”
Chen Xinyu smiled: "Lord Wang, I will also do it, do you want to taste what I made at night." ”
"Will you? All right. Xiao Yu took another bite and continued: "Do you want to go out with me and show you the world." ”
Chen Xinyu nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go, Xiao Ming, you are in the house, and Ning Shu will come with us." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he walked out with Chen Xinyu.
Walking to the courtyard, Xiao Yunli said, "Fifth uncle, where do you want to take Miss Chen?" After speaking, he looked at them with a smile.
Chen Xinyu, who asked, blushed for a while.
"Get out and about." Xiao Yu replied
"Can Lone go?" Xiao Yunli asked expectantly.
"Okay, let's go, call Wang Taishou." Xiao Yu said helplessly.
After a while, Wang Taishou came: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King Yan." ”
The prince helped Wang Taishou up and said, "Lord Wang, please get up, don't be polite." ”
After the princess stood up, she looked at Chen Xinyu beside Xiao Yu: "Weichen see the princess Niangniang." ”
Chen Xinyu was stunned and said: "Ah, I'm ......"
"Ahem, cough, cough" Xiao Yu coughed twice and said: "This is the daughter of Lord Chen, Chen Xinyu, her two elder brothers are under the command of General Zhao, she came to visit them, so she came with us." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Chen's daughter, Wechen was favored by Lord Chen when he was young, I saw Miss Chen when she was a child, I didn't expect to grow so big, become a big girl like a flower and jade, and stand with the prince to be a talented woman, so I misunderstood, what Wechen said just now, Miss Chen don't see me." Wang Taishou apologized to Chen Xinyu.
"Lord Wang doesn't need to be like this, those who don't know are not guilty, it's not a big deal, and I've heard my father mention you, and he said that you are a good official for the benefit of the people." Chen Xinyu said with a smile
Wang Taishou sighed and said: "Alas, if there is injustice today, Qingzhou is in chaos, it is really a shame for the court. ”
Xiao Yunli said: "Lord Wang, if it weren't for you, Qingzhou would have been a mess by now, and it is a blessing for the country to have a good official like you in my Daliang." ”
Xiao Yu and Chen Xinyu also smiled and nodded.
Wang Taishou was moved and knelt down and said, "Thank you for your Royal Highness's trust!" ”
Xiao Yunli helped him up.
Several people came to the inn where the Nanchen merchants who were doing business in Qingzhou were locked up.
"When it comes to meal time, they are concentrated on the first floor, and they can rest in the room at other times, except that they are not allowed to go out of the inn, and there is no restriction on them inside, and the meals are provided by the inn, and the cost of the daily meal will be reported by the soldiers to the Taishou Mansion, and will be reimbursed by the government." Wang Taishou said to Xiao Yunli and Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yunli thought for a while and said: "It's not a way to go on like this, the government can't bear it, first interrogate if there are any suspicious people, if not, let it go." ”
Xiao Yu also thought for a while and said: "There must be unidentified people in it, the Nanchen people who come to Daliang to do business have the brochures issued by the government, and some of these people definitely don't. ”
Xiao Yunli nodded, and the cousin agreed.
"Call them down and concentrate."
More than five hundred Nanchen merchants from Qingzhou were gathered.
They didn't know what was going to happen, and there was some panic on their faces.
At this time, Wang Taishou shouted: "Sitting in front of you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yan of my Great Liang. ”
After Wang Taishou finished speaking, the merchants panicked even more, thinking that they were going to finish.
Someone knelt down directly and shouted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we are all businessmen, not assassins, don't kill us!" ”
Chen Xinyu looked at them a little pitiful, but she also knew that some pity was pretended, there must be good people and bad people among these people.
Xiao Yunli stood up and said: "The two countries are broken, but the people are innocent, and I promise you that as long as you are honest businessmen, my Daliang will not hurt any of you, but!" If there is any suspicious person among you, you should check it carefully, and hand over the merchant book issued to you by the government, and you will bring a few people in the booklet, and after reading it, you will go to the right side and stand on the right, and those who do not have a book will stand on the left. ”
After a while, five hundred and thirteen merchants were divided into five hundred on the right and thirteen on the left.
Xiao Yunli discussed with Xiao Yu after reading it: "Fifth uncle, do you want to take all these thirteen people away?" ”
Xiao Yu thought about it and just about to start when Chen Xinyu said: "There must be suspicious people in these thirteen, but there must be some collusion among the five hundred people on the right, and the suspicious people in these thirteen people are not very important, so the names in the booklet are given to important people, so the thirteen people are taken away and taken to the official prison, and these five hundred people continue to be locked up here, and the important people in these five hundred people are afraid that these thirteen people will tell the truth and the matter will be lost, and they will definitely take action today." ”
Xiao Yu and his eldest nephew were shocked when they heard this.
"Yes, Aunt Five, you're so smart." Xiao Yunli said with a smile
Chen Xinyu blushed and said, "Ah, I'm not." ”
Xiao Yu coughed and said, "Just do what Xinyu said." ”
"Take all thirteen of them!"
