Xiong Wei picked up Xia Yun, Xia Yun's face was flushed, and she fainted in Xiong Wei's arms.

Xiaoyaozi also hurriedly ran over, checked Xia Yun's pulse, looked at Xia Yun's complexion again, and calculated the time when Xia Yun came and went.

It was almost 2,000 miles from Yangzhou to Beijing, and Xia Yun estimated that it took a day and night journey to rush back.

After such a long time of running around and tiring, even Xiaoyaozi himself could not bear it, let alone a girl.

"Yun'er, quick, get some water. Xiong Wei shouted anxiously and fed Xia Yun some water.

"Xiong Wei, hurry! Something happened, hurry!" Xia Yun kept calling Xiong Wei in a daze.

"Yun'er!Yun'er!" Xiong Wei fed Xia Yun some more water, "said slowly." ”

Xia Yun finally opened her eyes, grabbed Xiong Wei and said, "Something happened." Wang Dong is here, he wants to kill you!"

The first thing Xia Yun said when she opened her eyes was that Wang Dong wanted to kill him. Xia Yun kept going, thinking about this matter all the time.

Xiong Wei stroked Xia Yun's back, looked at Xia Yun's fatigue left by day and night, and said distressedly: "Yun'er, don't worry. The soldiers will block, and the water will flood. ”

Xiong Wei hugged Xia Yun to the bed, looked at Ouyang Ying and said, "Ying'er, pour another glass of water." ”

He put Xia Yun on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Xia Yun jumped up all of a sudden, her head had a headache, and she fell down again after holding it for less than a second.

"Yun'er, don't worry, I already know that Wang Dong is here. Xiong Wei said unhurriedly, "Isn't my head still growing on my head?" Who's afraid of him!"

"What?" Xia Yun still wanted to sit up, but she didn't have any strength. She was amazed at how Xiong Wei could know.

"Sister Yun, you can drink a glass of water first!" Xiong Wei took Ouyang Ying's water, helped Xia Yun up, and carefully gave her water.

"Yun'er, you drink some water and speak slowly. Since Xiong Wei heard that Wang Dong appeared in Yangzhou, he felt that this matter was not so simple. As soon as Xia Yun came in, he said this, and he began to think about how to deal with this matter.

Xia Yun drank all the water in one gulp, and her face was much better. He continued, "Ying'er, pour me another glass." ”

"Yun'er, what did you say about the emperor first?" Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun.

Xia Yun leaned on Xiong Wei's arms, she looked at Xiong Wei sideways and said, "I not only saw the emperor, but also met an unexpected person. ”

"Oh?" Xiaoyaozi guessed that this person must be a hidden dragon, but the identity of the hidden dragon should not be said much, there must be a stone jade there, he interrupted Xia Yun's words. Ask: "You don't have to say who this person is." Talk about the main points and what happened. ”

Xiong Wei looked at Xiaoyaozi, since he didn't let Xia Yun say it, he also guessed that this person was a hidden dragon. What is the identity of this hidden dragon, he is becoming more and more curious about this question.

Xia Yun traveled day and night, rushing to Beijing non-stop. Although she can enter and leave the palace freely, it is not so easy to meet the emperor. She waited outside the dormitory for several hours without seeing the emperor.

She didn't know what to do, the emperor's bedroom was extraordinary, if it was somewhere else, she would definitely fight for her life to meet people. However, this is the emperor. Besides, even if you want to fight hard, you can't fight it. The emperor was not only surrounded by eunuchs.

She wandered outside, hesitating, not knowing what to do.

When Xia Yun didn't know what to do, the emperor sent her away, saying that he couldn't see her.

Xia Yunzheng was very curious that the emperor didn't know what he had to ask him, so why he refused himself and didn't summon him.

Even if the emperor rests on weekdays and ignores the government affairs, but if someone is waiting outside like this. Especially her and Xiong Wei, the emperor will definitely summon him.

What's even more strange about her is that the emperor usually doesn't summon ministers, it must be at Concubine Zheng Guifei's. However, the emperor was not with Concubine Zheng this time.

The emperor's personal eunuch told himself very clearly that the emperor was in the study.

She'd never seen anything like that before.

Xia Yun was full of doubts and had just left the palace gate. A dart grazed past her and hit the tree next to her.

She squinted at the dart, which she knew very well. She walked over, and it read: Three o'clock in the hour, the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Xia Yun looked around again, but there was no one. However, he was sure that the dart was for himself.

At three o'clock, Xia Yun disguised herself as a man and entered the palace by herself in disguise. Sure enough, the emperor was indeed waiting for him in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. The mysterious man was there, too.

As soon as Xia Yun came, the emperor gave Xia Yun what he had prepared a long time ago. One is the gold medal given by the emperor to Xiong Wei with a sword guard, and the other is the gold medal given by the emperor. In addition, there is a secret decree.

Xia Yun said and looked at everyone again, and said, "You guys go out first, the place where I put this secret decree is relatively hidden." ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at it, and he probably guessed that this secret order was to let the salt tax be checked. He shrugged his eyebrows, looked at Ouyang Ying and said, "Let's go, Ying'er, call Miss Shangshi, let's go out for a walk." ”

Xiaoyaozi walked out with them.

Xia Yun looked at Xiong Wei again and said, "You go out too." ”

"I, what am I going out for, this will be for me. Xiong Wei wondered what he was doing out.

Xia Yun blushed for a while, and said shyly: "Then you also turn around, and when I get it done, you turn around again." ”

Xiong Wei frowned and looked at Xia Yun, wondering in his heart: where did Xia Yun put the secret purpose. Why is it so mysterious?

"Turn around!" Xia Yun emphasized again.

"Good, good!" Xiong said helplessly, turning away.

Xia Yun saw Xiong Wei turn around, she unbuttoned her clothes, and Xia Yun wrapped this holy decree tightly in her clothes.

"Okay?" Xiong Wei waited a little impatiently, and when he turned around, he happened to see Xia Yun getting dressed.

"What are you doing! I haven't even told you to turn around. Xia Yun's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly covered herself with her coat.

"How did you hide the decree so well. Xiong Wei turned around and felt itchy in his heart.

"This matter is very important, and it is not as simple as checking the salt tax. I certainly can't take it lightly. Xia Yun got dressed and taught Xiong Wei the holy decree.

Xiong Wei opened the holy decree and looked at it, he was indeed startled, and sighed: "The emperor really didn't expect this move. He's not going to be easy to do!"

"Your Majesty, this is killing two birds with one stone. Xia Yun also sighed, "By the way, the emperor also said that only the four of us know about this matter, except for the four of us, who can't say it." ”

"Ahh Now I don't even have anyone to talk to. Your Majesty, this is too difficult for me. Xiong Wei said in surprise.

"Am I not human?" said Xia Yun unconvinced.

"You're human, I'm not human. Xiong Wei said helplessly.

"You!" Xia Yun couldn't find anything to say, and coughed twice, "The emperor and Qianlong have a special explanation, and Xiaoyaozi can't know about it." ”

Xiong Wei thought about things before, although it was in line with the emperor's wishes, but it was not as deep as the emperor's thoughts. What I didn't expect was what happened to the master? Is the emperor Lao Tzu confused?

He knew that the emperor's intention to check the salt tax was not only to track down the salt tax that had been stolen by profiteers. More important is another layer of meaning. But what does this matter have to do with Master? Master was asked by Qianlong to come to Jiangnan to investigate the case!

It seems that although the plan has not changed much, it should be more thoughtful and re-arranged.

Xiong Wei heard Xia Yun cough twice, and hurriedly asked, "How are you?" ”

"I don't have anything, I'm just too tired. She took a deep breath, "The emperor uses you to deal with this matter, which is also a risky move." It is estimated that before I went, the emperor had already discussed it with Qianlong. ”

"How?"

Xia Yun continued: "Xiong Wei, think about it, there are definitely many people in the court who are older than you, smarter than you, and more familiar with officialdom than you, but why did you do it?"

Xia Yun didn't say it's okay, but as soon as she said it, Xiong Wei began to wonder again. He looked at Xia Yun with a puzzled face.

Xia Yun continued to express her opinion.

The Jianghuai salt tax is one of the important tax sources of the state treasury, and over the years, the tax silver handed over to the state treasury has become less and less, where has the silver gone?

Can a salt gang, a salt merchant, and a salt road yamen do such a big thing?

Those who eat the salt tax may involve governors and governors in the local area, and in the imperial court, they may involve princes and ministers, and relatives of the emperor.

That's why the emperor asked you to borrow the salt tax to suppress the forces of the other side.

Xiong Wei's mind was originally blindfolded, but now it is clear. The emperor borrowed a knife to kill people and used his own hands to hit others.

"Yun'er, this is not just killing two birds with one stone, this is clearly killing people with a knife!"

Xia Yun continued: "You are a clean person from the roots. It has nothing to do with anyone in the court. The emperor uses you because you have no network. No messages will be missed. ”

Xiong Wei nodded and sighed, "Yes, even Master can't say this, who else can I tell?"

Xia Yun continued to say seriously: "This matter is very important, once the news leaks, the consequences are unimaginable." The emperor did this, just to be unprepared. By the time the matter is settled, it will be too late for them. ”

That being said, but things are not so easy. By the way, you just said that Wang Dong was going to kill me? ”

Xia Yun came out of the Qianqing Palace, and it was almost dawn. When Xia Yun was about to leave the palace gate, she happened to see Wang Dong entering the palace in a hurry.

Xia Yun was curious for a moment, so she followed.

Who knew that the queen summoned Wang Dong to find out how Xiong Wei would go to Yangzhou and how he would investigate the salt tax. The queen said that according to the report: Xiong Wei also found out what evidence. The queen asked Wang Dong to go to Yangzhou immediately to find out what was going on.

If Xiong Wei really finds out something, he will kill Xiong Wei directly if necessary.

"Ah, the queen, this old witch, is really ruthless. Xiong Wei pondered for a while, he was now more and more confused about the affairs of the imperial court.

However, another doubt popped up in his heart. "It's true that the emperor doesn't like the queen, but when the emperor overthrew Zhang Juzheng, didn't he also rely on the queen?"

"This time and that time, officialdom, officialdom. Xia Yun sighed again, "A companion is like a tiger!"

"But what should we do about this matter in front of us?" Xiong Wei was puzzled again.

Xia Yun said: "When I came, the hidden dragon had already told me. And he said two words. ”
