Chapter 170 Imperial Envoy (4)

Yuxi originally wanted to start classes in October, but after weighing it for a long time, this time the imperial envoy is coming, who knows what will happen, so Yuxi simply moved the time to November. However, there is one thing to be happy about. The house of the Salesian Home has been built.

After getting the news, Yu Xi said to Yun Qing: "Take the time tomorrow afternoon to accompany me to see the house of the Salesian."

Yun Qing nodded in agreement, and said: "I got the news, the food will arrive in Yucheng in a few days." But they have no money to pay.

Yuxi said: "Isn't there still more than 20 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in Xinping City? When the time comes, I will convert those things into silver and give them to Wu Kuo."

Yun Qing glanced at Yu Xi, and said: "The imperial envoys have arrived in Yucheng almost at this time, how could they let us take these properties for money."

Yu Xi smiled, and said: "The imperial envoys won't let those jewels be used to repay the debt. It just so happens that they will pay the debts for buying grain, grass, bedding and underwear."

Yun Qing opened his mouth, and said after a while: "It's not appropriate!" Originally offending the Song family and Prime Minister Yu, the money was tightly locked up, and it won't work after repeated attempts. If I offend the prince again, I really don't know if I can get the money at that time. If you can't get the money, you won't have the money to pay the army at that time. How can the soldiers live without the army salary and how can Yucheng guard.

Yuxi glanced at Yunqing, stood up and said: "He Rui, you are guarding Yucheng for the Zhou family, not for yourself."

Yun Qing froze for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

There was a sneering smile at the corner of Yuxi's mouth: "The prince and the court don't allocate money, it's just right to let the soldiers know whether it's worthwhile for them to sacrifice their lives for the court."

Yun Qing said: "Yuxi, Yucheng cannot be demolished. It's not for the Zhou family and the court, but for the people in the border town. Once Yucheng is demolished, it will be an opportunity for the captives, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the border town will be killed." We’re going to suffer.” Border towns don’t just refer to Yucheng, but include several surrounding cities and counties such as Xinping City.

Yu Xi pretended to be helpless and said: "What are you talking about? I mean to let the imperial envoys know the hardships of the soldiers and the people in the border towns, and let the soldiers and the people in the border towns know that you, the chief general, are not easy."

For Yuxi, there must be rewards for giving, and she will not do things without rewards. Just like Marshal Qin, she admires Marshal Qin very much, but she is not worth it. Marshal Qin has done so much for the people and soldiers of Yucheng, so it's fine if he doesn't get any benefits, and he still has the risk of being ruined at any time. If it were her, she would never do such a thankless thing. Yuxi does not deny that she is a selfish person, she is not as broad-minded as Marshal Qin. She doesn't have any grand plans, she just wants her family to live in peace and stability in this world. Therefore, she did not allow Yun Qing to follow Marshal Qin's old path. It's just that Yuxi is very clear that these words cannot be said to Yunqing. If you tell Yun Qing, there will definitely be a quarrel. Yuxi is not worried about quarreling, but she is worried that Yunqing will create a estrangement with her. Once there is an indelible gap between husband and wife, the relationship will definitely be affected. After a long time, they may become strangers.

After hearing this, Yun Qing said, "It doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances, I just hope to improve the lives of soldiers."

Yuxi said: "It's better to count on the imperial court than to find a way to solve it by yourself." The imperial court has long been unreliable. Otherwise, she would not have thought of letting Yunqing gather a hundred thousand troops in her palm. In the peaceful and prosperous age, if you have such thoughts, once you are discovered, you will definitely die without a place to bury you. But in today's world, if you don't have more selfishness and plan more for yourself, you won't know how you will die by then.

After talking about it, we went back to the origin again. Yun Qing doesn't want to talk about this topic now: "Have you prepared all the winter clothes for the children in the Salesian Home?" Yun Qing is completely out of words.

Yuxi smiled and said: "The cotton was bought at the beginning of the month,

Already doing it now! "Yuxi originally wanted to buy it from Jiangnan, and the cotton in Jiangnan is cheaper. It's just that the child's size is not well grasped, and if it doesn't fit well, it won't be warm. This child's clothes are different from adults. They are originally small and difficult to change. Yuxi finally decided to buy cotton and ask someone to make it according to the child's size.

The couple talked again and fell asleep.

The next morning, as soon as Yunqing left, Tan Tuo's letter arrived. After reading the letter, Yu Xi went into the study. After a while, Yu Xi stood up and said to herself: "How could I have forgotten her." The she Yu Xi said was referring to Xu's. Fortunately, Tan Tuo reminded me, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

Yuxi immediately called Xu Wu and said, "Hurry up and call the general back, he should still be on the way, not at the military headquarters." A few minutes of time were missed before and after this.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yun Qing came back.

Yuxi said: "Tan Zhifu said that the imperial envoys came here to check the accounts, but they were actually the property of the Xu family. If I hadn't guessed, these people came for the money of the Xu family out of ten. The Xu family has huge wealth. It is very likely that the imperial court has heard about the payment.” The evidence of collusion with the enemy and treason is solid, and the Xu family is just a merchant and not a meritorious official, so there is no need to send imperial envoys to investigate. Therefore, the only possibility is that the court learned that the Xu family had a huge sum of money. Now that the national treasury is empty, the crown prince knows that the Xu family has a huge sum of money, so how could he let it go.

Yun Qing was not worried about this, and said: "There is nothing to worry about, the people who participated that day will not let the news go." Those who participated in the digging room that day were all confidantes.

But Yu Xi shook her head, and said: "The gold and silver boxes are not one box or two boxes, but nearly forty boxes, and they are all so heavy. It is impossible if you don't want to leak the news." Yu Xi is not worried For the soldiers who went with Yunqing, what she was worried about was that those gold and silver had already been seen by those who cared.

Yun Qing really didn't think about this question, and said: "Then what should I do?" He really didn't expect that the imperial envoy was not here to investigate the Xu family's case, but to find the Xu family's money.

Yuxi said: "It doesn't matter if the news leaks, the most important thing is to hide the gold and silver well. As long as the things are in good condition and these imperial envoys are not allowed to find them, then don't worry." Speaking of this, Yuxi asked: "Store those gold and silver. Who knows where?" If the imperial envoy finds the money, the consequences will be unimaginable, at worst, he will be dismissed from office and taken back to the capital for questioning, at least, he will lose the morale of the army.

Yun Qing said: "That place is very secret, no one else knows about it except me and Mr. Xia." Seeing Yu Xi looking at him suspiciously, Yun Qing said: "Before, gold and silver were directly deposited into the warehouse. But I did errands There is a secret passage in the house leading directly to the warehouse. I stayed at the military headquarters before you came back, and moved the gold and silver to another secret place at night."

Yu Xi said: "How did you know about such a secret place?" If she guessed right, it should be Mr. Xia who said it.

Sure enough, Yun Qing said: "Mr. Xia told me. Except for Marshal Qin, only Mr. Xia knows about the secret way." Now, he knows more.

After hearing this, Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's okay. Speaking of which, why does Marshal Qin trust Mr. Xia so much, and Qin Zhao didn't even tell those secrets, but told him?"

Yun Qing said: "Mr. Xia's life was saved by the marshal, and he is loyal to the marshal." It is also because of this loyalty that Marshal Qin trusts him very much and never hides anything from him.

Yuxi said: "You are not Marshal Qin, some things are better kept one or two."

In front of Yuxi, Yunqing would not hide and pinch, and asked: "Yuxi, do you doubt Mr. Xia?" Otherwise, why do you always tell him not to tell Mr. Xia everything, obviously not I believe Mr. Xia.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "I don't doubt Mr. Xia, I just think that he is loyal to Marshal Qin and not you. Therefore, it is better to reserve everything. When I say reservation, I mean those confidential matters." Nothing yet Confidential things, but there is no guarantee that there will be no future.

Seeing that Yunqing was silent, Yuxi held Yunqing's hand and said: "Herui, we are one family, Mr. Xia, he is just an outsider." These words got to the bottom of it. In Yuxi's eyes, Mr. Xia has always been an outsider, not one of his own. Since he is an outsider, he naturally has to reserve many things.

After hearing this, Yun Qing smiled and said: "I'm not a three-year-old child, so I won't tell others casually about confidential matters." Except for Yuxi, only Uncle Huo can let him have no reservations.

Yuxi thinks that Yunqing is really careless, so she is better than the child: "After the imperial envoys come over, you will not see them on the grounds that you are busy with military affairs. As long as they have no evidence, they can't do anything to you, so you don't have to give them face."

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It is definitely necessary to see each other." The imperial envoy represents the prince's face, and as the chief general of Yucheng, it would be unreasonable if he never met.

Yuxi thought for a while, and said: "Then Cao De is a very thoughtful person, when you see him, try to speak as little as possible, so as to avoid his way."

After hearing this, Yun Qing was a little curious, and couldn't help asking: "From what you said, it seems that you know the imperial envoy very well?"

Yu Xi said: "That man has a bad character. When you see him, you just need to be more wary of him." Just because the Yue family fell, she murdered her pregnant wife. Such a man is shameless to the extreme. This shows how bad such a character is. But Yuxi didn't plan to tell Yunqing about these things, she was afraid that Yunqing would despise him if he knew Cao De's true nature. It's not that Yuxi underestimated Yunqing, it's that Yunqing is too good at hiding her emotions. Although Yunqing often has a cold face, it is not easy for people to see nothing, but his eyes can also reveal emotions.

After hearing what Yu Xi said, Yun Qing no longer took it lightly, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will be careful when I see him."
