Chapter 168 Imperial Envoy (2)

Yuxi confirmed that the eighth girl of the Cai family was dead, and she felt a little bit crazy in her heart. Just as he calmed down, Yunqing came back.

Yu Xi said to Yun Qing: "He Rui, talk to your second brother, I'll go into the house to have a look at Zao Zao." She wanted to go into the house and think about it.

After entering the house, Yuxi sat on the bed in a daze. In fact, although she didn't have any evidence for the death of Qiao's family, she could roughly guess the cause and effect. Back then, Heshou somehow lured thieves to the Duke's Mansion, which caused heavy losses to the Duke's Mansion. Although Yuchen's face was calm, Yuxi knew very well that Yuchen kept this matter in mind. It was because she didn't show it at the time because she was not yet capable of revenge. Now that I have the ability to take revenge, I will naturally not bear it anymore. Therefore, Yuxi felt that the affairs of the Qiao family must have come from Yuchen. What Yuxi couldn't figure out was why Yuchen would kill Cai Baniang, Cai Baniang and Yuchen had nothing to do with each other.

After thinking for a while, Yuxi figured it out. With Heshou's personality, knowing that Cai Baniang has such a god-defying ability to make money, he must want to control her in the palm of his hand. It is estimated that He Shou didn't know that she was being watched by Yuchen all the time. It may be that He Shou paid too much attention to Cai Ba Niang, or it may be that Cai Ba Niang's abnormality disgusted Yuchen, so he killed her.

Up to this point, Yuxi had to be thankful that she had been careful since she started her new life. As it turned out, she was right to be cautious. At least until now she is still alive, and no one has doubted her. In fact, many of Yuxi's performances are a bit too much, such as embroidery, how can a normal person embroider double-sided embroidery at the age of eleven! It's just because Yuchen's light is too bright, Yuxi's excellence is covered by Yuchen. Otherwise, people will definitely be suspicious.

After figuring this out, Yu Xi felt a lot more relaxed. When the people really calmed down, Mu Di found a person standing beside him. Yu Xi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out, she looked at the man beside her and asked, "When did you come in? Why are you silent?" Yun Qing's footsteps were very heavy, and she didn't even enter the yard on weekdays. can hear.

Yunqing put his hand on Yuxi's head lightly, and his voice was very soft, and asked: "It's because you were too absorbed in thinking about things that you didn't notice me coming in. Yuxi, what were you thinking just now? So preoccupied?" When he came in just now, he found that Yu Xi was frowning tightly, shaking his head and nodding for a while. He knew that Yuxi was thinking about something, so he didn't make a sound, for fear of interrupting Yuxi's thinking.

Yuxi weighed it in her heart, and said: "I just heard from my second brother that all four members of Princess Qingyang's family are gone, and the Lord Heshou County has also been imprisoned." At this point, Yuxi hugged Yunqing's waist and said : "In order to kill my third sister and me, He Shou lured thieves to the Duke's mansion on the night of the former imperial concubine's womb change. That night, the Duke's mansion not only lost a large amount of property, but also killed nearly a hundred people. The loss was extremely heavy. "

Yun Qing asked: "Do you have any grudges?"

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "No, I was only eleven years old at the time and could have a deep hatred with her, and the Han family and the Qiao family have no enmity, so I don't understand why she would do such a murderous thing?" Yu Xi Naturally, he knew what was going on in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

Yun Qing said: "A lunatic, don't worry about it." Only a lunatic can do such a thing by going to someone's house to kill and set fire to someone without a grudge.

Yuxi also agrees with Yunqing's words, this and Shou are completely lunatics. Otherwise, she would be killed just because of a guess.

Han Gao ran into the inner courtyard and shouted outside: "General, ma'am, it's not good, the military headquarters is on fire. General, go and have a look!"

Hearing this, Yu Xi stood up abruptly. Yun Qing could hold his breath, lightly patted Yu Xi on the shoulder, and said: "The warehouse where the previous years' accounts were stored burned down, so don't worry."

Yu Xi was stunned, but looked at Yun Qing and said: "Your appearance will make people suspicious.

"If you hear that there is a fire and you can still keep calm, anyone who sees it will have to doubt it.

Yun Qing said: "No one will doubt it." It's like this at home, and Yun Qing always has a straight face when he goes out, don't try to see any clues from his face.

Han Jianye knew that there was a fire at the military headquarters, so he didn't care about rest, and insisted on going there with Yunqing. Yun Qing didn't stop him either, and let him follow.

But Yuxi called Han Yi into the inner courtyard and asked, "Did you encounter something on the way? Otherwise, why did you arrive in Yucheng so late?" The urgent letters sent by the elder brother all arrived a few days before Han Jianye, so Yuxi Xi expected that something happened in the middle, otherwise there would be a delay of nearly half a month.

Han Yi hesitated.

Seeing this, Yuxi confirmed the guess in her heart more and more: "Second brother is back, there is nothing else to say. Tell me, what happened?"

Han Yi knelt on the ground and said: "Second master won't let me speak, so I can speak out. If I dare to speak out, I will screw my head off."

Yuxi knew that this was definitely not a trivial matter: "I won't make it difficult for you, you just need to tell me, is there any trouble in this matter?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "The second master has settled the matter, and there will be no future troubles." In fact, Han Yi doesn't know whether there will be future troubles. It's just that he knew that if there were future troubles, Fourth Aunt's grandmother would definitely continue to interrogate her. Therefore, this matter has to be resolved by the second master himself.

Yu Xi frowned, but didn't continue to ask Han Yi: "Don't tell the second brother about this, you know?" Since Han Jianye didn't plan to tell her, he must be afraid that she would worry. That being the case, there is no need to let Han Jianye know.

Han Yi nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, fourth aunt, she is too young to say a word to the second master."

Zijin waited for Han Yi to go out, and said, "Madam, since the second master has returned safely, what do you have to worry about?" Even if he met bandits and robbers, the second master has returned to Yucheng intact, which is enough to prove that Those bandits and robbers also benefited.

Yuxi said: "I was just worried, so I called Han Yi over to ask." She was also worried, so she asked more.

Zijin pursed her lips and said, "Ma'am, you have too many worries. If you continue to worry like this, Mother Lan and Mother Xi will be very worried." The two mothers have been persuading Yuxi not to worry. So busy, Madam didn't listen to a word.

Yuxi really didn't take the persuasion of the two mothers to heart: "Didn't Doctor Bai come here every five days to ask for my peace of mind? Did the doctor say that my health is not good?" Doctor Bai, that is Han The doctor sent by Jianming.

Zijin said: "The doctor said that Ma'am, you are in good health, so I didn't say a word!" If the doctor said that Yu Xi's health was not good, she would definitely not let Yu Xi be so busy.

Yuxi said: "Actually, which lady is not busy." The wives of those big families in the capital have to take care of the housework, serve the old and take care of the young, have to beware of concubines and concubines, and have to socialize and inquire about news, so they are too busy very. As for her, she just dealt with outside affairs.

Zi Jin was the last one to argue with Yu Xi, because no matter how hard she argued, she couldn't argue. Zijin didn't look for abuse, and asked, "Madam, when do you think the imperial envoy will arrive?"

Yuxi said: "It shouldn't be long before I arrive at Xinping City." The imperial envoy this time is Cao De, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who belongs to the prince. In the letter, Han Jianming briefly talked about Cao De's temperament and a few things he did. All in all, this person is difficult to deal with. But Yuxi is not worried, no matter how difficult it is, Yucheng is not a place where he can run wild.

Yunqing and Han Jianye didn't come back until midnight. As soon as Han Jianye saw Yuxi, he said: "Yuxi, this time the fire started a bit strangely, and the fire burned the account books of previous years, and everything else is fine. Yuxi, I think this fire was set on purpose. "Han Jianye couldn't figure out the reason why the people behind him did this, so he wanted Yuxi to help him refer to it.

After hearing this, Yu Xi raised her eyebrows deliberately, and asked, "Second brother, what do you mean?" These people are really serious, they burn more things if they want to burn them, and they do it so obviously.

Han Jianye said: "The ledger will be burned if it is burned. Anyway, it has been for many years. I am worried that these people will not be good for you in the future." If you can set fire to the warehouse this time, who knows if you will run to Yunfu came to set fire.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Second Brother thinks right, Yun Mansion should strengthen its vigilance." In fact, Yu Xi doesn't feel afraid of murder and arson, but most afraid of those spies and killers hiding in the dark.

Han Jianye nodded and said: "It's getting late, I'm going to bed, you guys should go to bed early too!" After so many days of driving, he was also very tired when he ran to put out the fire.

Only the husband and wife were left in the room, so Yu Xi asked, "Why did you just burn the ledger? What else was there in the warehouse, so reluctant."

Yun Qing said: "There are still a lot of pens in the warehouse. I guess they are reluctant to burn them!" Paper is very expensive, and most of the paper in the warehouse costs a lot of money!

Yuxi couldn't say anything more, she could only lament in her heart that Yucheng was too poor, making these book offices reluctant to burn paper. Bypassing this topic, Yuxi asked, "What's the reaction from Du Wenshu?" Yun Qing didn't allow Du Wenshu to touch military matters such as recruit training and Yucheng's protection. Du Wenshu was also very annoyed, because in this way he was completely a display. However, Yun Qing's attitude was very firm, saying that he would only talk about military affairs on paper, and if he was allowed to intervene in military affairs, he would treat the lives of soldiers as a trifling matter. The so-called scholar meets soldiers, there is no reason to explain it, it is Yun Qing who controls the military power, no matter how angry Du Wenshu is, he can't help Yun Qing.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out." Yun Qing didn't dislike Du Wenshu either, because he wouldn't be like the previous supervisors who would sue him every now and then. However, even if he didn't hate it, he didn't allow Du Wenshu to get involved in military affairs. The previous military supervisors liked to command by Mrs. Hu, and I don't know how many soldiers' lives were wasted.

Yuxi said: "Herui, you must be on guard against others, and you can't take Du Wenshu lightly." Although Du Wenshu was honest during this time, Yuxi was not at ease with him. If he can find a chance to get Du Wenshu away, even someone who loves money and money will be much better than this Du Wenshu. At least that kind of person can handle it. As for Du Wenshu, he was a hidden danger in Yucheng.

Yun Qing felt that Du Wenshu was easy to get along with because he had no other thoughts. As for Yuxi, there are many things she wants to do, but Du Wenshu, as the eyes and ears of the prince, must hinder what she wants to do. This is also the reason why Yuxi wanted to take Du Wenshu away. (to be continued)
