Su Ling's magnanimity gave Yu Zhi enough face, and also exposed the gesture of Su Rongsheng's father and son.

"Good, good." Yu Zhi clapped his hands and praised, "The second room of the Su family is really courageous. ”

Su Ling took the opportunity to say: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. It was supposed to be something I was supposed to do. ”

Su Rongsheng hurriedly said: "Lord Yu, we are also willing to contribute to the imperial court. ”

Yu Zhi glanced at the father and son, and said disdainfully: "You still send the one thousand taels of silver that you have promised." The money donated by the various families in Sioux City will be recorded and reported to Kyoto. When the people settle down, I believe that Your Majesty will have a reward. ”

Yu Zhi no longer paid attention to Su Rongsheng's father and son, and then said to Su Ling: "Master Su, next is the Xiangcheng County Order Zhang Zhongmin Zhang to be responsible for this matter, and he will come to Su Mansion to find you at that time." ”

Su Ling didn't understand why this matter was handed over to Zhang Zhongmin, and still said, "I understand." ”

Because of Su Ling's generosity, Yu Zhi didn't have to go door-to-door to ask for silver.

Yu Zhi knew that this silver was not Su Ling's willingness. But Su Ling knew that if he didn't give this silver, he was afraid that the Su family's business would become more and more difficult.

Over the years, the Su family's business has been prosperous and thriving, and many business dealings have some gray.

But big or small things naturally cost money to eliminate disasters.

The days passed day by day, and soon the ten days passed.

Wuhua had already come to Sioux City, and every day she helped the people build houses. When a monk enters the red dust, every step is a practice, and every little thing is also a practice.

Yu Zhi lived in a post house and lived leisurely.

There is no need to hide traces during this time. Yu Zhi wanted to let the officials of Sioux County know his whereabouts, so as not to cause chaos.

In ten days, Yu Zhi began to practice the meridians of the right arm, and after penetrating the meridians of the left arm recorded in the villain's diagram, Yu Zhi obviously felt that the power of the left arm far exceeded that of the right arm.

The thirteenth meridian flows true qi again and again.

It was only half an hour, and Yu Zhi's face was covered with sweat.

The cultivation of "Villain Diagram" is the most consuming true qi, and after the true qi is emptied, the speed of true qi recovery gradually increases.

After a long time, Yu Zhi also noticed these small changes.

After Zhang Zhongmin took over the resettlement of the people, he would report the progress to Yu Zhi every once in a while.

The villages near Sioux City have soon returned to their original appearance, and the villages in the six counties under its jurisdiction are still slower and are gradually being rebuilt, and everything is developing in a good direction.

But today Su Ji brought bad news.

"The child is missing?" Yu Zhi frowned, just listening to Su Ji's narration already felt unusual.

Su Ji said ashamedly: "The soldiers of the Su Cheng Army guard the temporary residences of the people. But in recent days, several children have been lost in a row. At first, the soldiers thought it was children playing with them, and the children did not come home for a long time. The soldiers searched the vicinity but did not find it. ”

Li Jun was also standing aside, not daring to look directly at Yu Zhi. Since Su Jiguan was reinstated, Li Jun had a faint sense of threat in his heart.

He knew that in terms of military merit and prestige in the army, he was not as good as Su Ji. If you want to fight for this position as coach, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Li Jun took over the conversation and said, "The last general guesses that this is not a simple child getting lost, I'm afraid someone is hindering it. ”

Yu Zhi thought about it carefully, and after a moment, he said, "Take me to see the situation." Maybe you can find something. ”

Yu Zhi brought back two or three hundred children from the city in the mountains, some of whom found their parents, or some of whom had family members alive. But many days have passed, and there are still more than 30 children left here, and there are no relatives left.

The 30-odd children were orphaned and left in temporary shelters.

Walking into the courtyard, Su Ji said: "There were originally thirty-four children here, but six have been lost in the past few days, and there are still twenty-eight children in the yard. After the incident, I asked the soldiers to step up patrols. At the moment, no clues have been found. ”

Yu Zhi glanced at the courtyard and said, "Could it be that it was taken away by human traffickers?" ”

Su Ji shook his head and said, "Unlikely. If it were human traffickers, we wouldn't be without a clue. ”

Yu Zhi ran true qi, his eyes were full of wind, and he wanted to see something from it. And it's a pity that Yu Zhi didn't see anything, and these investigations will be handed over to the government after all.

"What about Zu Anbang? Where did the others go? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zu Anbang appeared in front of Yu Zhi's eyes.

"Lord Yu, the next official is here." Zu Anbang rushed in.

Without taking a few breaths, Zu Anbang just hurriedly said: "Xiaguan... As soon as he heard about this, he said that the Qinglou and the gambling house were sealed, and the Caoyun Wharf and the city gate were also ordered to be strictly reviewed. If it was really the traffickers, they would not be able to escape the net."

Yu Zhi smiled faintly: "You are in time." ”

Zu Anbang was annoyed in his heart, if this happened on weekdays, it would be calm. A few orphans are lost, and they are lost, what is the pity.

But these things happened during the inspection of the imperial history, is this someone trying to mess with me?

Zu Anbang is most worried that he will not be able to keep his official position.

Zu Anbang swore and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Yu, the lower official will personally supervise this matter and catch the culprit behind the scenes." ”

Yu Zhi glanced at Zu Anbang and didn't say much.

Walking on the streets of Sioux City, Yu Zhi had thoughts and doubts in his eyes.

There are children being trafficked in the mountain city, but could the same people who are missing now?

If they are really traffickers, where will these children be sold?

Where are these traffickers hiding?

Yu Zhi originally planned to leave Sioux City County after the end of the trouble, and went to the sword house to ask for a sword.

But now it looks like it will have to be delayed a little longer.

Investigating cases is not Yu Zhi's strong point, but conspiracy is Yu Zhi's forte.

Yu Zhi returned to the small courtyard, and he wanted to hide himself again. Maybe the upright figure is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao, so he will not go into the darkness to punish the evil and eliminate the evil.

.......

In Kyoto, the Jomeiden Hall in the early morning is full of all kinds of quarrels.

This may be the most "lively" early dynasty since Xiao Yuande ascended the throne.

Xiao Yuande looked indifferently at the quarrel of the ministers in the hall, but he showed a little smile in his heart. As the emperor, what Xiao Yuande is most afraid of is the harmony and tranquility above the court.

The serenity of the court also means concealing the superiors and deceiving the subordinates.

At that time, it may be the beginning of the fall of the country.

Fight, fight. It's fun to make a fuss...... The old god Xiao Yuande is here, and he has not stopped these courtiers from attacking each other.

The so-called verbal sword is exactly what it looks like.

Li Xiuyuan and other important ministers of the court are also old gods standing on the side to "watch the battle", so far it is not the time for them to speak.

"Your Majesty, that Yu Zhi is doing mischief in Sioux City, and openly wants the officials of Sioux County to accept silver taels. There is no king's law! Please Your Majesty punish this person to revive the dynasty! ”

"Lord Bai, this is a bad word. Lord Yu went to Sioux City, and in just a few days, the bandits were quelled, and You Yuanju also found out that He Yuanju colluded with the mountain bandits. As far as I know, Lord Yu used all 30,000 taels of silver for the resettlement of the people. ”

"But he also openly visited the Qinglou, dignified and royal history, and behaved so wildly, it was really a loss of national body. Please Your Majesty sanction Yu Zhi to stop this obscenity. ”

"Yo, Lord Bai is pure-hearted and has few desires. I heard that a few days ago, Lord Bai spent a lot of money in Yihong Mansion, and there were three servants waiting for him at the moment of the Spring Festival. ”

"Slander is pure slander."

"Slander? Your Majesty, the ministers in the Chengming Palace did not dare to talk nonsense, and many people saw it that night. Could it be that Lord Bai really called the three girls to talk all night? That can be said to be Weichen's slander of Lord Bai. ”

For a while, a burst of irrepressible laughter filled the Chengming Palace.

There is also a lot of lightness in the main hall, which has always been serious.

Xiao Yuande, who was on top, couldn't help but smile. Speaking of which, Xiao Yuande knew that he should speak up to stop this farce.

Although Yu Zhi's actions are unusual, they are also reasonable. In addition to some misbehavior, the important thing is that in just a few days, Yu Zhi quelled the bandits and settled the displaced people. This is the purpose for which I sent Yu Zhi to the Nanzhou Capital. ”

"What you say is a reminder of me. Yu Zhi accepted 30,000 taels from a county official, how did these officials come up with the 30,000 taels, don't you know in your hearts? ”

Xiao Yuande's question made the atmosphere of the entire Chengming Hall a little colder.

"Jiang Qing!"

Jiang Qing immediately stood up and responded, "The minister is here." ”

"Is this how the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises hundreds of officials for me?"

"The minister is guilty." Jiang Qing knelt down and said.

"It seems that I asked Yu Zhi to patrol Nanzhou, and I really found the right person. Nanzhou is rich, and the officials in Nanzhou are so rich. Let Yu Zhi check these rich officials for me. ”

"Weichen takes the order!"

After Xiao Yuande finished "teaching" Jiang Qing, he looked at Han Ying again. There are many things happening in the court, and Xiao Yuande has to worry about big and small.

But the thing that worries Xiao Yuande the most can't be discussed in the Chengming Palace.

In the imperial study after the early dynasty, the strong autumn wind waited here early. After Yu Zhuyue's treatment, Qiu Jinfeng's spirit was much better than before.

Only Qiu Jinfeng knows that no medicine can compete with the years.

Xiao Yuande opened his mouth and said: "Yu Zhi's words have found traces of night ghosts in the mountain city, and the king of Chu even colluded with night ghosts. Do you think it's true or not? ”

The matter of the night ghost in the city in the mountains was reported by Yu Zhi separately, and only Xiao Yuande and Qiu Jinfeng knew.

Qiu Jinfeng said: "Your Majesty is afraid that Yu Zhi will lie, and he insists on linking the King of Chu with the Night Ghost, intending to let His Majesty send troops?" ”

Speculating that the emperor's heart is a taboo as a courtier, but it is nothing here in the autumn wind.

Xiao Yuande sighed, remembered what Yu Zhi had done in Su City, and suddenly smiled helplessly.

"I really didn't expect Yu Zhi to quell the bandits so quickly. Yu Zhi's ability is obvious to all. But he knew his background, and if he was in a hurry to take revenge, he would inevitably use me as a knife. And although Xiang Ji is greedy for power and ambitious, he will not collude with the night ghost. ”

Qiu Jinfeng groaned: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”
