Chapter 127: Strange
There were only two chairs in the room, and Yan Yue beckoned the two to sit down, poured two glasses of water for them, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sorry, there's only this cool water in the house......"
Yan Yue put her hands on the edge of the bed and smiled apologetically at the two.
Meals and hot water have to be delivered by others, and it seems that she is really confined to this room and cannot go out of this room at will.
"Sister Yan, you've lost a lot of weight......"
"Lost weight?" Yan Yue touched her face, smiled and said to Zhong Lisu: "I haven't looked in the mirror for a while, this is a good thing, recently, the city is thin and beautiful." ”
"Sister Yan, no matter what, you should still eat on time, things will always turn around......"
"I'm worried about my child, I was a little out of appetite some time ago, but I've been better these days, and I've had dinner on time."
Yan Yue smiled lightly again, and said something that reassured Zhong Li, and after saying that, the two looked at each other for a moment, Yan Yue lowered her head again, and the room fell silent.
"Miss Yan, we are here to ask you about these things that have happened in Yanfu recently, we don't mean to offend, but as friends, we still hope to do our best to help a little ......"
It is certainly not good to ask about these unpleasant things when other people's families are in the middle of the road, but now that the Yan family is in an extremely difficult situation, and the people in the family cannot communicate with the outside world, Situ Xi and they can still help somewhat.
"Matters at home...... Presumably it has spread outside, what is it said outside? ”
"Some people are rumored that there are a lot of treasures of unknown origin in the mansion, and it is also said that the old man Yan colluded with some thieves......" Situ Xi said bluntly, Zhong Li was stunned and didn't say anything, "But there are also many people who know Yan Lao said that this matter is a rumor, and they say that the old man Yan is a noble person, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing." ”
"Grandpa will not be in the same league as the thieves......" Yan Yue said, "but the treasure is true, there is no solution to this matter, the forbidden army has found a lot of gold and silver from the house, I have seen it with my own eyes, grandpa has almost acquiesced, this is how it is, this is not a rumor." ”
"And grandpa, father and uncles have now been taken away by His Majesty, and the younger brother has never returned after going out the day before the accident at home, and Grandpa thought he was lost at that time, but now it seems that he must have been taken away by His Majesty."
"Su'er, I haven't talked to a friend for a long time, I am already very happy that you can come to see me today, but I am not suitable to have much contact with you in the current situation of the house, even if Your Majesty allows it, but there will be some rumors, which will be unfavorable to Huaiming Gong, you better leave as soon as possible." Yan Yue said and spoke, and suddenly stood up, she didn't want to set Situ Xi and them on fire, so she said that she wanted to ask them to leave early, and try not to interfere in this matter of her family.
After listening to Yan Yue's words, Situ Xi also knew that the forbidden army had indeed found a huge amount of money from Yanfu, and the money was said to be from an unknown source, which implied that they came from an improper source.
Since Yan Yue saw it with her own eyes, there should be no falsehood in this matter, her words are sincere, and there is no need to hide anything in this matter.
"Miss Yan is the most familiar with Yan Laoying, do you think this matter is really his doing?"
"How can it be, grandpa is the most economical, I said that the beginning of the ancestral training is the word 'simple and cheap', and the people in the family have restrictions on the cost of food and clothing on weekdays, and they dare not exceed it slightly. On the other hand, although my father and grandfather do not have much, they are enough to run the house, and Your Majesty has had many rewards before, although my family cannot be called rich, but there is no shortage of money, and there is no urgent need for money recently. And grandpa's loyalty to His Majesty...... Even if it is said that he is 'foolish', he has no possibility of corruption...... I thought it was like this. ”
When Yan Yue said this, her emotions suddenly became quite excited, but when she said the last sentence, her voice was much quieter.
I thought it was ...... In other words, she doesn't feel that way now.
"I asked my grandfather before he was taken away, but he only said nothing, and then I felt that the sky was falling......" Yan Yue smiled bitterly, and there was some sadness in her voice.
"Sister Yan......" Zhong Lixuan walked up to her and gently took her arm.
If this is the case, then the matter of the old man Yan is really unsolvable, and he can only wait to see how Emperor Chu wants to deal with this matter.
But if it comes at the end of the day, the worst-case scenario...... Looking at Zhong Lishu, who was comforting Yan Yue in front of him, Situ Xi still planned to find a way to save Yan Yue, at least to make his life worry-free.
In fact, there is still something strange about this matter, judging from the information on Hua Yaoying's side, Emperor Chu has checked many officials some time ago, and the Yan family is only one of them, and most of the officials who were taken away at the same time have been dealt with.
If you really want to talk about it, the amount of money on the Yan family's side is more than theirs, but the old man has only been brought into the palace so far, restricting his movements, and there is no follow-up to this day, and the family members in the Yan Mansion are only under house arrest, His Majesty has not given an ultimatum to this matter for a long time, Situ Xi believes that he is naturally not simply thinking about the old love and delaying time.
It seems that there is some insider work in it.
"Miss Yan, what strange things have happened in your mansion during this time? For example, is there any unusual movement or a stranger is visiting? ”
"No, grandpa hasn't entertained guests for a long time, he only entertains guests at home, he doesn't go to restaurants, I don't go out often, if he wants to feast, I will know."
"It's business as usual these days, until that night when the forbidden army arrives...... Speaking of which, the only strange place is the gold and silver, which are almost all gold ingots and cash, all piled up in the treasury, if it is really money from unknown sources, grandpa should not be put in the treasury like this, I have been to the treasury once before, when it was empty, but when the forbidden army came that day and night, they found this money, they appeared as if out of thin air, I can think of the explanation is that there are secret rooms or secret passages in the treasury, but the forbidden army has taken a closer look, since they did not find it that day, I don't think so, I really don't know where the gold and silver are hidden. ”
"Oh?" Situ Xi pondered for a moment, this is key information, a huge amount of cash is placed in the treasury?
Although Emperor Chu asked the forbidden army to investigate the officials in the city relatively suddenly, Old Man Yan may not know this news.
But if these silver coins were really greedy for ink or "gifted" by others, he probably wouldn't store them in a place like the treasury on weekdays, according to Yan Yue, those silver coins suddenly appeared in the treasury within a few days, which is very strange......
"Miss Yan, this matter has not yet been concluded, maybe there will be some turnaround, please don't be too pessimistic, we will also help investigate one or two, maybe we can really help...... As for the rumors, Miss Yan doesn't care, if someone really wants to spread some gossip, then they should have already prepared the draft from the moment we entered the Yan Mansion. ”
