Chapter 830 Redemption (1)

The Black Widow is locked in a secret passage in the palace.

Meng Nian went down the secret path and walked outside a stone room. The guard said softly: "Master Meng, this man hasn't said a word since he was sent in, he's very quiet."

Entering the stone room, looking at the black widow meditating with her back against the wall, Meng Nian sneered and said, "I didn't expect the famous black widow to believe in Buddhism." Countless people have died at the hands of the black widow over the years, so How could such a person believe in Buddhism.

The black widow didn't seem to hear Meng Nian's words, and she sat there motionless like a stake.

Meng Nian said: "The emperor has sent a letter to Han Yuxi. As long as she is willing to pay one million taels of silver, the emperor will let you go back." On this condition, we will send you back to the northwest."

The black widow was already determined to die. No matter what Meng Nian said, she kept silent, treating herself as a mute.

After Meng Nian went out from the secret road, he went to see Yan Wushuang: "Your Majesty, I really want to send this person back." Seeing Yan Wushuang nodding, Meng Nian said, "Your Majesty, one million taels of silver will send the black widow back. , isn’t it too childish?”

Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "One million taels of silver can be exchanged for two million stones of grain." What Yan Wushuang wanted was not silver, but grain.

They got a lot of grain from Jiangnan last year, but after the Jiangnan purge last year, they couldn't get any more grain from Jiangnan. He thought it was a good deal to exchange a black widow for two million stones of grain.

Meng Nian didn't object when he heard this: "Your Majesty, what if Han Yuxi disagrees?"

Yan Wushuang is very confident about this: "Han Yuxi will agree." The black widow knows too much, as long as Han Yuxi is sure that she is not a traitor, she will redeem her.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Yan Wushuang went to Zhanghua Palace. Since Yuchen fell ill, Yan Wushuang would go to Zhanghua Palace every day.

Yuchen struggled to remember, but her whole body was limp and she had no strength at all: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to greet you."

Yan Wushuang stood by the bed and said: "These are just fake, do you feel better now?"

Yuchen nodded slightly and said, "It's much better." She had a heart disease, and no amount of medicine would help.

Yan Wushuang thought for a while and said, "I have already handled Zhou Yan's funeral with the Minister of Rites, so you don't have to worry about it."

Yuchen showed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The people in the Ministry of Rites are not as careful and considerate as she is. But Yan Wushuang disagreed, and she couldn't help it.

Eunuch Min walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Geng, Minister of the Household Department, please see me."

Yan Wushuang looked at Yuchen and said, "Take care of your body early, and don't let Achi and Abao worry about you anymore."

After seeing off Yan Wushuang, Nanny Gui went back to the palace and said to Yuchen, "Your Majesty, the Emperor still has you in his heart." Mrs. Xiang was ill, and the Emperor never visited her. My master is sick and comes here at least once a day. This is enough to see that his master's position in the emperor's mind is now.

Yuchen showed a bitter smile: "Nurse, as soon as these two girls close their eyes, they will see Yan'er lying in a pool of blood, calling for the queen mother."

Nanny Gui's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

Yuchen said: "Grandma, if I don't avenge Yan'er, my heart will be restless in my life." Rather than telling Nanny Gui, I would rather say it to herself.

Nanny Gui still said the same thing: "Madam, but once Han Yuxi is angered, the lives of the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince will be in danger."

Yuchen said: "Nurse, I've already made up my mind." After a pause, Yuchen's eyes flashed coldly: "I won't give her a chance to harm Achi and Abao."

Nanny Gui was silent for a while and said, "Madam,

Let's discuss this matter with the emperor! If not, the emperor will be annoyed when things come out. "

Yuchen shook his head: "You can't tell him. If you let him know Yan'er's revenge, you won't be able to avenge him." After finishing speaking, Yuchen looked at the top of the bed and said in a low voice: "This is the only thing I can do for Yan'er." She owed her son too much.

Four days later, Yuxi received a letter from Meng Nian. After reading the letter, Yu Xi fell into silence. After a long time, Yu Xi raised her head and said to Yu Zhi: "Meng Nian said in the letter that we should redeem the black widow with two million stones of grain."

Yu Zhi frowned and said, "Princess, is this a fraud?" When did Yan Wushuang become so talkative.

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "If we don't take food to redeem people, once Feng Ying knows that he is cold-hearted and goes to Yan Wushuang, it will be a heavy loss for us."

Yu Zhi said worriedly: "When we hand over the food, but Yan Wushuang refuses to let him go, then we will be in vain to fetch water from the bamboo basket."

Yu Xi said: "You pay with one hand, and you pay with the other." No matter how cunning Yan Wushuang is, Yu Xi believes that he will not lose his credibility in this matter.

Yu Zhi said: "Isn't two million shi grains too big?" Two million shi grains is not a small amount.

Yu Xi said lightly: "Feng Ying knows many things, I can't take this risk." The black widow knew Tie Kui's identity, once she confessed to Tie Kui, her life would be in danger. Don't say that Tie Kui is her own uncle, just talk about Tie Kui's identity. In the future, Tie Kui will be the internal response when attacking the capital, which is enough to be seen by thousands of troops, so she can't let Tie Kui make any mistakes. certainly. This condition is also within Yuxi's tolerance. If there is more, she will not agree.

Yan Wushuang was also sure of this point, so he proposed to ask for two million shi of grain instead of 34 million shi.

Yu Zhi was still not at ease, and said: "Princess, what if Feng Ying has already betrayed?" Then they really lost their wife and lost their army.

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "No." Seeing Yu Zhi's worried face, Yu Xi said: "Feng Ying stayed with me for a while before, she was a very resolute woman, torture will not let her confess Submit." If you want to rebel, you have rebelled long ago, and you won't wait until now.

Yu Zhi didn't say anything more.

Xu Wu said outside: "Princess, the prince has a letter to deliver."

Yunqing's letter is to report safety. At first, it was Yu Xi's request, and later she developed this habit.

After reading the letter, Yuxi talked to Xu Wu about the redemption: "After the black widow is redeemed, I want to put her in Zhuangzi." With Yan Wushuang's means, it is definitely impossible for the black widow to be completely beheaded. Come back full tail. However, the status of the black widow is too special to stay in the palace. It is most appropriate to send it to Guo Xun.

Xu Wu didn't quite understand: "Why did Yan Wushuang propose to replace people with food? Princess, could this be a trap set up by Yan Wushuang?" Two million shi of food is a lot, but the problem is the black widow's The value is more than that.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No. Shandong suffered from drought this year; the large yams planted in Liaodong were infested by insects."

Xu Wu suddenly realized that Yan Wushuang was in short supply of food: "The price is all over the sky, and the money is paid on the ground. He can't ask for two million shi of grain, and we will give that much." After Xu Wu handed over the intelligence work to Yu Zhi, there was no news of him. As smart as before.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Since Yan Wushuang proposed to ask for two million shi of grain, it can only be this amount, and there is no room for bargaining." It was a coincidence, otherwise, even if they were given double the grain, it would be impossible for them to let them go .

Xu Wu was a little distressed, so much food was enough to feed the army in front for more than two months, but now it was cheap for Yan Wushuang. But he also knows the importance of the Black Widow, and knows that this matter cannot be changed. It can only be said that Yan Wushuang is too cunning.

Yuxi deliberately told Xu Wu that there was a purpose: "We will send someone to verify the authenticity at that time." Don't give so much food in exchange for a fake product. Although this is unlikely to happen, it is still necessary to be prepared.

Xu Wu nodded and said another thing: "Princess, I'm going to send someone to Jiangnan to pick up Xin'er and return to Hao City." Xin'er is the son born to Aunt An, who was named by Huo Changqing.

Yuxi said: "The child is only three months old now, Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the city of Hao, the child may not be able to bear the bumps along the way."

Xu Wu said: "We've thought about this too. The weather is hot now, so it's definitely not suitable for the child to go on the road. I think I'll come back in September, and it should be about the same." By September, the child will be more than half a year old. The body is not bad, it should be fine.

It was because of Yunqing's face that Yuxi said these words, not because she cared about the child: "Have you discussed this matter with Uncle Huo?" Seeing Xu Wu nodding, Yuxi hummed Said: "Since that's the case, you can figure it out!"

Xu Wu hesitated for a while and said: "Princess, Guo Xun wants to send Dagui to the palace as an errand."

Yuxi thought for a while and said: "I remember that Dagui is one year younger than Zaozao, and he is twelve years old this year."

Xu Wu hummed and said, "It's one year younger than Princess Dagui." Zisu only gave birth to one child, Dagui, and never gave birth again.

Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Ah Hao is big, there should be more reliable people around him, let Da Gui follow Ah Hao!"

Xu Wu made a big gift and said, "I thank the princess for Guo Xun." Guo Xun wanted to send Guo Dagui to the palace because he wanted him to follow Brother Hao. Brother Hao is the eldest son, and his future will definitely not be bad after following him.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "Next year, I will choose a reading companion for brother Rui and the three brothers, and you will figure out which one to let Aze or the three brothers." This can be regarded as a kindness to Xu Wu.

Xu Wu hurriedly said: "The princess is in charge of this matter."

Yu Xi was not in a hurry to let Xu Wu make up his mind now, and said with a smile: "There is still more than half a year, which is enough for you and your husband to consider."

Seeing that Xu Wu was too busy to dare, Yu Xi smiled and waved Xu Wu to go down. The minds of these parents are the same, they all want to find a future for their children. So she believed that Xu Wu would seriously consider what she said.

Although Tie Kui helped to investigate Feng Ying because his own life was involved, Tie Kui still did not dare to act recklessly.

That night, Falcon appeared in Tiefu in the middle of the night. Tie Kui said: "I didn't find out where Feng Ying was imprisoned, but what is certain is that he was not in the sky prison or the prison department. It should be locked in a secret place."

In fact, Falcon already has some eyebrows, but there is no need to say it now. Falcon handed a letter to Tie Kui and said: "General Tie, this is a letter from the princess." Before Tie Kui read the letter, Falcon said: "General Tie, the princess said that she has prepared two million stones of grain Redeem Fengying." He came here this time to tell Tie Kui not to inquire about Fengying's whereabouts. Of course, he himself will not give up.

Tie Kui remembered something he had heard before: "I heard that the yams planted in Liaodong this year were plagued by insects, and the harvest this year was not optimistic. Now it seems that this news should be true." Today, half of the land in Liaodong is used to plant yams , but got pest infestation, and the loss is immeasurable.

Falcon nodded and said: "It's true." It's just that he didn't expect this to be an opportunity to save Fengying.

Tie Kui squeezed the letter back into his hand, frowned and said, "Can I not change it?" The two million shi grains can help Yan Wushuang solve many problems. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. If there is no food, I am afraid that Liaodong will be unstable. But this is a good thing for Yunqing and Yuxi.

Falcon said: "Fengying has worked for the lord since he was eighteen years old, and he knows too much." After a pause, Falcon looked at Tie Kui and said: "Furthermore, Fengying still knows your identity, so it is for this We must also redeem people."

Tie Kui looked at Falcon and said, "You guys are too careless." If Falcon and the others acted more cautiously, they wouldn't get Yuxi to use so much food to replace them.

Falcon said in a deep voice: "We will be more careful in the future, and please take care of yourself, General Tie."

After Falcon left, Tie Kui opened the letter. After reading the letter, Tie Kui said to himself: "I also hope to be able to get together soon." The reunion of him and Yu Xi means that this kind of worrying life is over, and they can live a peaceful life.

After saying this, Tie Kui burned the letter and called Zhong Shantong into the house.

Zhong Shantong said in a low voice: "Master, why is he here this time?" Zhong Shantong was guarding the door just now to prevent anyone from breaking into the study.

Tie Kui did not tell Zhong Shantong about Fengying, for fear of frightening him: "A few days ago, Yan Wushuang arrested a woman, and that woman was his most capable subordinate. These days I was helping him find out about her Whereabouts." I didn't say it before, and now the matter is almost resolved, let alone the need to say it.

Zhong Shantong changed his face and said, "Kuizi, does this woman know your identity?" If she knew Kuizi's identity, it would be dangerous.

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Falcon is the only one who knows my identity." In fact, Tie Kui's heart has been hanging in the past few days. Even now he is not completely relieved, but it is useless to worry about things that have already happened.

Zhong Shantong let out a mouthful and said, "That's good."

At this time, Tie Kui's confidant and long follower raised his voice outside and said: "Master, Aunt Lu's maid came and said that the eldest young master has a high fever, please go over and have a look."

Tie Kui narrowed his eyes, and asked Zhong Shantong: "Is the Lu family still safe during this time?" Because the Lu family was given by Yan Wushuang, he has been guarding against the Lu family all these years. Even though Lu gave birth to two sons for him, he didn't let him relax his vigilance.

Zhong Shantong said: "During this period, Aunt Lu did not do anything out of the ordinary. But today is the fifteenth day, and Aunt Lu went to Lingshan Temple to offer incense." Aunt Lu has a habit of going to Lingshan Temple to offer incense on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. .

After finishing speaking, Comrade Zhong Shan said: "Master, the young master's fever should be just a coincidence. No matter what, Mrs. Lu is the young master's biological mother, so she shouldn't make fun of the young master's body."

Tie Kui said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." This woman has her own child, so her thoughts are naturally biased. It's not that Tie Kui doesn't know this truth, but he's used to being cautious and doesn't dare to take the risk.

ps: I wish you all a happy new year, a smooth work in the new year, all wishes come true, O(∩_∩)O~ (to be continued)
