Chapter 169 Imperial Envoy (3)

Yunqing didn't rush to run an errand the next day, but left after having breakfast with Yuxi. When going out, Yuxi said: "He Rui, let Mr. Chen come over, I have something to tell him." Yuxi saw the official letter to Mr. Chen last night.

Yun Qing turned his head and asked, "Is there anything I can do with Mr. Chen?" Seeing the smile on Yu Xi's face, he thought it should be a good thing.

Yuxi said with a smile: "I'll tell you in the evening." Yuxi wanted to tell Mr. Chen about this happy event.

Yun Qing is not a person who seeks out the truth, seeing this, he said: "Well, tell me tonight." After finishing speaking, he went out.

Yuxi sent Yunqing away, and went for a walk in the vegetable garden next door with her jujube in her arms. Looking at the leaves falling from the tree, Yuxi said: "It's autumn again, and I have to store supplies for the winter." The only pity of copying Xu's family is that the food from several granaries of Xu's family was not moved to Yucheng, and they were all taken away. Tan Zhifu was transported to the government government's grain depot. It was too late to react, no matter how powerful Yunqing was, it would be impossible for him to transport grain to the Yamen's grain depot.

Zijin said: "Madam, it's almost time to make bacon and sausages." Not to mention the elders, even Zijin likes to eat smoked sausages and bacon.

Yu Xi said: "This year, I have prepared enough, and I should be able to marinate more, and then you will have something to eat." Last year, it was not prepared until the end of the year, and there were not enough ingredients, so there was not much smoked.

After the walk, Yuxi returned to the yard and handed the jujube to Mama Lan: "Take it to Uncle Huo!" Yuxi hoped that Huo Changqing would recover in the spring of next year, so that she could relax a bit.

Shi Liu walked in and said, "Ma'am, Mr. Chen is here!"

Mr. Chen walked in, saluted Yuxi, and asked, "I wonder why Madam asked me to come here?" Yuxi would not look for him even for small things.

Yuxi handed the official letter issued by the Fujian government to Mr. Chen, and said with a smile: "Open it and have a look." It is definitely a happy event for Mr. Chen to settle his grievances and release Mr. Chen from being a prisoner.

After reading it, Mr. Chen's hands trembled, and in the end tears also fell. For more than ten years, he thought about it day and night and wanted to wash away his grievances, and today finally came.

After regaining his composure, Mr. Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Yu Xi, saying: "Mrs. Chen Mian has nothing to repay Madam's great kindness."

Yuxi accepted Mr. Chen's three salutes calmly, and said: "Get up! Help the general with his errands well, and that's my repayment." The so-called do not expect repayment for kindness, that is a saint. She is not a saint, and she promised to help Mr. Chen to avenge his grievances that day, and she was rushing to pay back.

Mr. Chen said: "Madam, don't worry, I will do my best to assist the general." Because of his identity as a prisoner, Mr. Xia has been suppressing him. In fact, in terms of talent and learning, he is no worse than Mr. Xia, what is worse is experience and experience.

Yuxi said: "The only regret is that you can't restore your fame." When Mr. Chen was framed, his fame as a juren was deprived. Although Mr. Chen was vindicated this time, his fame was not restored.

Mr. Chen said: "It is enough to rehabilitate me."

Yuxi smiled and said: "Such a big happy event, you share it with your wife." Speaking of it, Mr. Chen is also lucky, he has a wife who will never leave him. Without the support and encouragement of his wife, Mr. Chen may not be able to support himself until now.

Mr. Chen also wanted to tell his wife the good news. His wife had lived with him in Yucheng for more than ten years and never complained. But she worried that because of his status as a prisoner, his children's marriage would be affected. Now that he's rehabilitated, there's nothing to worry about.

After Mr. Chen left, Yuxi turned her head and said to Zijin, "When November comes, I will hold your wedding with Yu Zhi." In November, there is nothing to do, and there is time to organize Zijin's wedding. Zijin was the same year as her,

Now that I'm eighteen, it's time to get married.

Zijin said very calmly: "Listen to Madam's arrangement."

Seeing this, Yuxi deliberately said: "We are married in November, and there is only one month left. Is your wedding dress embroidered?" Yuxi has all the silk and needlework ready, but the purple cordyce has not been touched.

Zijin didn't know that Yuxi was teasing her on purpose, and said, "Ma'am, it's not like she doesn't know that the embroidery needles turned into fishhooks in my hands." The embroidery needles were straight, but they were bent into bends by Zijin. .

Yu Xi laughed and said, "You, Yu Zhi is the only one who can bear you." Although Yu Zhi had no ambitions, he was really kind to Zi Jin, and she couldn't help being happy for Zi Jin after seeing it.

Zijin curled her lips and said, "What? It's his luck that I want to marry him, otherwise, who would like him like this!" Yu Zhi wants money but no money, talent but no talent, family background but no , and she has no ambitions, just thinking about her own little life, only her, who would want to marry other women!

Yuxi laughed straight away.

In mid-October, the imperial envoy arrived in Xinping City. Tan Tuo was taking care of things in the government office when he heard his butler report the news to him: "My lord, the imperial envoy will arrive at the gate of the city in half a day. Shall we go to meet him?"

Tan Tuo said, "Cao De is of the same rank as me, so what's the welcome?"

The chief steward, Tan Ming, persuaded him, "My lord, although Cao De is a fourth-rank official like you, but he is now an imperial envoy appointed by the crown prince, and he is here to investigate the Xu family's case, so it is better to go out and greet him." Tan Tuo and Cao De knew each other before the exam, because they share similar interests and have a good relationship. Later, the two passed the Jinshi examination together, and their relationship took a step further.

Tan Tuo said: "The evidence of the Xu family collaborating with the enemy and treason is solid, if you want to investigate, let them investigate."

In Tan Tuo's hands, not only did Yun Qing send evidence that Xu's family sold grain and grass outside the customs, but also evidence of Xu's family's murder, murder, and arson, colluding with the government to dump official food, and other evidence. Let alone Cao Delai, even the crown prince would not be able to help the Xu family reverse the case. What the Xu family did, the extermination of the clan made it easier for them.

Tan Ming said: "My lord, we still need to be cautious. Now Cao De is after all the celebrity in front of the prince. We don't please him, but we can't offend him." His lord sometimes acts too straightforwardly. It would be nice to be more rounded.

Tan Tuo said: "Don't say any more, I've made up my mind." The two were originally friends, but later Tan Tuo despised Cao De's behavior, so he alienated Cao De.

In order to climb up that day, Cao De married the niece of the Minister of the Household Department. As a result, as soon as the household department minister fell, he let his pregnant wife die of illness. The cruelty of the means is chilling. No matter how strong his ability is, what if his character is not good, not to mention that he disdains to associate with him, even others dare not use him. Who knows if he will be bitten back if he is used.

Seeing this, Tan Ming stopped persuading him.

This afternoon, Cao De led a group of people into Xinping City. Tan Tuo didn't go to meet Cao De, but he was waiting for everyone at the station.

When Cao De saw Tan Tuo, he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Jing Chun, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, brother Jing Chun is still handsome!" Tan Ming's name is Jing Chun.

Although Tan Tuo disdained Cao De's character, he would not let Cao De step down in front of his colleagues, so he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Cao De is too polite, I am so old that I am out of shape But Brother Cao De is still the same as before, his appearance has not changed at all."

Cao De had to sigh after hearing this, time can really change a person. I think Tan Tuo, who was tough back then, can now flatter people. But now this is more suitable for officialdom. Cao De smiled and introduced the two officials who followed Tan Tuo. One is Xu Chen from the Ministry of Punishment, and the other is Jiang Bin, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.

After meeting each other, Tan Tuo led everyone in with a smile, and said, "Prepare some thin wine, and please don't dislike it." The meal was not shabby. Although there are no delicacies from mountains and seas, it is also full of chicken, duck and fish.

As the host, Tan Tuo also drank a lot of wine. After drinking, Tan Tuo was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily, so he had to be supported by Tan Ming. After leaving the post station, Tan Ming helped Tan Tuo onto the sedan chair, and then pleaded guilty to Cao De, and then took Tan Tuo back.

Cao De's eyes flashed sternly as he looked at the sedan chair going away. He just drank with Xu Chen and the others, hoping to get Tan Tuo drunk, and then told Tan Tuo what he said. Because Tan Tuo has a shortcoming, that is, he can answer whatever others ask when he is drunk. But today, after getting drunk, Tan Tuo only looked uncomfortable, but didn't say a word. There can only be two reasons for this situation. The first one is that Tan Tuo is not drunk and is pretending, but it is also good to act like this; It was corrected. No matter what it is, it only shows one thing, Tan Tuo is not as easy to deal with as before.

It is the instinct of the body to ask and say something after drunk, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to control it. Therefore, Tan Tuo just pretended to be drunk this time.

As soon as he returned to his bedroom, Tan Tuo took a pen and paper and wrote a letter. After writing the letter, he said to Tan Ming, "Go and call Master Yu Congyu."

Yu Cong was in the magistrate's yamen, so he came very quickly.

Tan Tuo handed the written letter to Yu Cong, and said, "You send someone to send this letter to Yucheng now, and deliver it to Madam."

Yu Cong knew that Tan Tuo had gone to see the imperial envoy, and after hearing this, he asked, "My lord, is the imperial envoy going to harm my general and wife?" city.

Tan Tuo didn't answer this question, but said, "Your duty is to keep those gold and silver treasures." Tan Tuo is not confident whether he can keep these properties, and he doesn't know what Yunqing means, why he doesn't send These gold, silver and jewels were shipped to Yucheng.

Yu Cong was a little annoyed, but he also knew that since Tan Tuo was not going to tell him, he would not say anything no matter how many questions he asked, so he immediately said, "I'll have someone deliver the letter to Madam."

Tan Ming sent Yu Cong out, turned back, looked at Tan Tuo's tired face, and asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Tan Tuo said: "Cao De will definitely make a big move this time." From today's meal, when Cao De and Xu Chen were beckoning and trying to trick him, he felt that something was wrong. After he pretended to be drunk, he still tried Xìng asked a few words, but seeing that he should not answer, he did not continue to ask. However, this is enough to know that Cao De has bad intentions.

Tan Ming said: "My lord, General Yun and Mrs. Yun are not people who can be manipulated. If Cao De wants to stir up wind and rain, it depends on whether he has the ability."

Tan Tuo said, "I hope it's as you said." Although Yunqing is a general, but according to his contact with Yunqing, this general is really not someone who will play tricks. On the contrary, Mrs. Yun is brave and resourceful.

ps: I have to go out for something, the third update will be very late, everyone will watch it tomorrow! (to be continued)
