Chapter 97, the autumn wind and the pleasant night

Yuan Qian immediately smiled like a flower and patted her chest, "Sister Zhaoyi, please rest assured! I'll leave this place to me, and I'll have my own plans!"

Then, her gaze narrowed slightly, "However, I also have a matter, I want to ask Uncle Yun and Sister Zhaoyi."

Yun Wei was slightly surprised and looked at her in confusion.

His eyes moved to Lu Zhaoyi, but he saw her laughing to herself, "Qian'er, do you want to ask me to help find someone?"

"How do you know...... a hint of surprise appeared on Yuan Qian's face, "That's true, I have a close friend Lin Xianglan, she came to Luojing since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then disappeared for a long time, I haven't been able to find her until I received her letter the day before yesterday, but I still can't find her whereabouts."

Speaking of this, she frowned again, "I want to ask you to help me find her, I'm afraid that something will happen to her......

"Okay, I promise to help you, and I'll do my best to find it."

Lu Zhaoyi agreed, her brows furrowed slightly, "You can give me the letter she wrote to you, maybe you can find a clue."

"Thank you, Sister Zhaoyi." Yuan Qian smiled, took out a letter from her cuff and handed it over, "Look, this is what she wrote to me."

Taking the letter, she stared at the envelope and fiddled back and forth, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and she groaned, "I'll order someone to help you find out tomorrow."

Yun Wei on the side seemed to notice the change in her face, and hurriedly spoke, "Okay, Mrs. Yuan, the restaurant is open today to welcome guests, and the front yard must be extremely busy, you go take care of it first!"

Hearing this, Yuan Qian smiled and agreed, "Yes, Uncle Yun, Sister Zhaoyi, you use it slowly, Qian'er will leave first!"

After Yuan Qian left, Yun Wei spoke, "Did the Seventh Lady find something? Is there a problem with this letterhead?"

"Hmm." She bowed her head and said indifferently, "Mr. Yun Wei doesn't know, the paper of this letterhead is indeed the letterhead used by the students of Xiangyang Zhuang School, look at this paper, it is made of shrubs unique to Jingzhou, and there is also the mark of "Qingyuan Zhai" on it, but it is ......

At this point, her gaze paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and added, "This letter should have been deliberately processed by someone."

"So, there's something wrong with this letter?"

Yun Wei frowned, and his eyes flashed with a little imperceptible surprise, "This thing, shouldn't it appear in Luojing City?"

"Perhaps...... Someone deliberately led the clues to Jingzhou......" Lu Zhaoyi stroked the letterhead, his eyes deep in thought.

As he spoke, the flower beds in the backyard were stained with raindrops, Yun Zhi's eyes darkened, and his face was solemn, "What does the seventh lady mean...... Someone wants to use our hands to disturb the troubled waters of Beijingzhou, and they will benefit from the fisherman?"

"Of course," she curled, "I'm afraid, much more than that."

After a moment, her thoughts drifted away, until her eyes fell on the distant flowerbed, and her eyes flickered, as if she were calculating something.

"I also asked Mr. Yun Value, if you can go to Qiu Zhongcheng's Mansion with me tomorrow, there are a few things that I want to confirm in his mouth."

A few days ago, on the day of the court meeting, Lu Zhaoyi stayed in the house and did not go to the court, but learned through Yuan Qi's mouth that Qiu Quzi returned to Xia Pei in the court about Nanyang.

One is the harvest of Nanyang County this year, indeed because of the influx of many farmers this year, this year's harvest is much higher than in previous years, plus the local farmer Du Wei Shi Zuoden, and Xinye tried mulberry field irrigation, improving the harvest of a lot of grains.

This matter reached the emperor's ears, and it made Xia Pei smile from ear to ear.

However, when the government came to collect the grain tax, they found that the tax they collected was not much different from that of previous years.

The land tax was deducted, which also annoyed the emperor, and he issued an edict ordering the officials of Nanyang County to self-examine and give an explanation.

This matter involves a wide range of things, and even Jingzhou Thorn Shi You Jijing was involved, which can be described as a catastrophe from heaven, not only did he not punish the culprit, but he was punished by the emperor, and he was punished with him.

The situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to take care of everything, so Lu Zhaoyi considered finding a breakthrough from the counties of Northern Jingzhou first.

Now, the letter in her hand is extremely rich

It could be an opportunity for her to wait for many days.

"Seven Ladies, don't be in a hurry?" Yun Value's eyes flickered, "The chaos in Northern Jingzhou, so many people are staring, how can we handle it well?"

"Not bad!"

Her eyes lit up, "Let's find Lin Xianglan first!" I have a hunch that if we really find her, we may be able to unravel the connection between Beijingzhou and Guanzhong."

"We must find out about this matter!"

After speaking, she got up, raised her steps, and bowed to the other party to give a blessing, "Mr. Yunzhi, Shu Qi Niang takes the first step."

"Lu Niangzi is at her own convenience."

Yun Wei also got up and asked himself to leave, just because it was also the time for him to give a lecture in the front yard.

After all, this Yun Zhi, who had followed Wu Gong and served as a strategist, had a very high reputation in Luojing City, and countless people who studied were not far away just to hear his lectures, and many celebrities would also come to him.

Today, a lecture hall has been set up in the restaurant for them to listen.

Lu Zhaoyi was not interested in all this, and she didn't want to participate, but she explained some matters to the secret pile of Piaoxue Building, and went straight to the back door.

The back door of the wind full building leads directly to the Lifang door, as soon as you go out, you don't go far to the south, and after passing the back door of Henan Yin and the side door of the East Palace, you will return to her Lu Zhaoyi's Shilang Mansion. z.br>

Because the back door of the restaurant is separated from the door of the house by a distance, and it is sparsely populated, there are basically few people in sight.

In the same way, this place was also bought by her, and when she entered and exited the back door of the Fengmanlou, she only needed to dress up in disguise, and she could go back and forth unnoticed, avoiding being recognized by people who were familiar with her, and it was not easy to expose her identity.

"Seven Ladies, you're finally back!"

Seeing the figure of the comer, the secret guards of the Drifting Snow Building came up one after another.

"How's it going?" Lu Zhaoyi knew these people, and they were all arranged by her to go out to investigate the news, and now that she saw them coming back, she raised her eyebrows and asked.

"It's all done." One of them gave up his hand, "Please rest assured, I waited in the city and found out Yu Hong's whereabouts."

"Moreover, it's not just Yu Hong, the original Jingzhao Yin Yu Chao is also there." Another added.

Her eyes lit up, revealing a surprised expression, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Yu Chao is also in Luojing?"

If you want to say that Feng Yi's Yu family, the industry is also all over Guanzhong, Longxi, and the whole territory of Liangzhou, and now Yu Chao has been dismissed, and all private property has been confiscated and sealed by the emperor.

In this way, the father and son are indeed desperate to live in the noisy and dusty place of the big city.

"Yes, my subordinates have seen it with their own eyes, and it's true."

Lu Zhaoyi nodded, in a good mood, "Very good, you guys have worked hard, let's all go down and rest!"

Several people bowed their hands in unison, turned around and entered the house, and disappeared into the courtyard.

All this was expected by Lu Zhaoyi, except for Yu Chao's accident, the others were still under her control.

Lu Zhaoyi did not hesitate, and quickly went back to the house to freshen up and change clothes.

When she changed her clothes and was about to sit in the study at the end of the corridor, it was already the willow tops on the moon and the sky was full of stars. As soon as she reached the door, a gust of wind blew, and she only felt a slight pain in her shoulder, as if she had been hit by something.

Looking up, she was standing in purple under the moonlight, and the contours of her face were staggered, which made her look a little dazed.

The pace under her feet faltered, and then, she took a few steps back, glared indifferently, and roared in a low voice, "What is the reason why the king of a country secretly invades the mansion of his courtiers?"

The man in purple is Xia Pei.

At this time, he was counted, and he couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look up.

"I ...... It's not a secret break, but an open and honest entry through the main entrance." Xia Pei's voice was slightly dry, and his tone was a little low, as if there was a hint of embarrassment.

"......" Lu Zhaoyi choked, maybe she was a little long when she changed her clothes, so she didn't know the movement outside.

After a while, she regained her strength, "Your Majesty, you don't have to run out of the palace for anything, you can just order the chamberlain to summon the ministers."

「…… You weren't in good health a few days ago, so I didn't summon you......

"Your Majesty, if you just want to talk to your ministers, then, Your Majesty, please go back!" Lu Zhaoyi interrupted him coldly, and then turned around to leave.

Xia Pei grabbed her arm and refused to let go, "I do have something to discuss with you!"

Listening to this tone, it seemed to be for the sake of business, but such disregard for the defense of men and women also gave Lu Zhaoyi a headache, and he struggled twice, but he couldn't break free, so he had to give up.

"Then Your Majesty, please speak!"

As if seeing her gloomy face, Xia Pei let go of her and raised his eyes to look at her, with a touch of complicated feelings in his eyes, as if he was struggling with how to speak.

Lu Zhaoyi frowned, a little impatient in his heart.

"Your Majesty will say it if you want to, if you don't open your mouth again, then you have to ask Your Majesty to leave!"

"I said!" Xia Pei hurriedly explained, "I quarreled with Da Hongluqing today, and the source was the temple number and the name of the ancestor king. Qi Ran felt that I should not enter the Taimiao with the first king......

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoyi immediately opened his mouth to refute, "Qi Honglu is right, Your Majesty, you are the founder of the country, and the first king is just a minister of the previous dynasty, if you put the temple for the spiritual seat of the first king, with the ancestral hall, then to the first king under the nine springs, why?"

"I, I never thought about it, only from the practice of previous dynasties, every dynasty and every generation, it is normal to posthumously crown the first emperor, why can't I come here?"

There was a dispute about this matter before the opening of the dynasty, and when the new dynasty opened, the imperial court must not be able to avoid this topic.

A few months ago, Xia Pei also asked Yuan Fang to ask, but at that time, she wrote a note as a military advisor and was forwarded by Yuan Qi, I don't know if Xia Pei has seen it or not.

And now, Xia Pei mentioned this matter, she didn't have to guess to know, and she still couldn't avoid it, but she was not a martial prince, and she couldn't confess her dying words, but more, she could only admonish as a courtier.

"Until the last moment, the first king never thought of usurping the throne, he was just the king of Yuan, and he never had the idea of becoming the emperor, can Your Majesty consider the wishes of the first king's spirit in the sky?"

Her gaze looked directly at him, and her tone was firm and determined, "Please give the former king a good reputation in the history books of future generations, right?"

After that, she didn't wait for Xia Pei to respond, and continued: "If Your Majesty insists on sealing the Taimiao, then the minister can't say anything, it's just that the military master Gou Chen really lived up to Duke Wu's last wish."

When Xia Pei heard this, his face changed suddenly.

"Do you know your father's wishes?"
