The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1926

[Chapter 1926 Qiyou Fanwai (1)]

In the second year of Taichang, the censor of Jiangnan Province, Zeng Xinde, folded his bullet to impeach Bai Zhenghu, the prefect of Yangzhou, for colluding with salt merchants to make huge profits.

Qi Xuan looked at the excerpt, and after thinking about it, he decided to let Qi Xuan investigate the case.

Unfortunately, Qiyou didn’t want to do this errand: “Brother, you can hand over such a case to anyone, why do you have to let me go?”

Qihao said with a smile: “You don’t often say that the food in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is delicious, but now I just want you to eat it again.”

He was eager to go to Hangzhou to play, but he had no interest in going to work on a case. Qiyou said bitterly, “Brother, can I not go?”

Qi Hao shook his head.

Qiyou knew that this matter could not be changed: “Old Zengtou impeached Bai Zhenghu for colluding with the salt merchant, but what evidence is there?”

Qi Hao shook his head and said, “There is a witness, but this witness has died violently.”

It means that there is no evidence at all, and it is up to him to investigate. Qiyou said with a bitter face: “Brother, you should send Yuan Bilin to investigate this case!” Yuan Bilin is a master investigator, so he will definitely solve the case quickly.

Qi Hao shook his head and said, “Yuan Bilin is very good at cracking the case, but he may not be able to find out all of this.” This is a case of official salt smuggling, and he can’t hold it down without any weight.

This means that he is more powerful than Yuan Bilin, and Qiyou is still very happy to be praised: “Brother, do you believe me like that?”

Qi Hao sighed: “I believe you will be able to find out about this matter.” Of the three younger brothers, Qi You has the most heart. It’s not that easy to deceive him.

Having said that, Qiyou no longer shied away: “When will you set off?”

“ASAP.”

Qiyou snorted and said, “I’ll go home and leave after seeing Brother Xu.”

When Huang Siling heard that Qiyou was on a business trip, he asked, “What’s so urgent, you have to leave now?”

“It was said that the prefect of Yangzhou colluded with the salt merchant, and my eldest brother sent me to investigate the matter.” Seeing Huang Siling’s worried face, Qiyou said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I will be back soon.”

Huang Siling thought for a while, but still said: “A strong dragon can’t overwhelm the local snakes, my lord, be careful.”

Hearing this, Qiyou smiled and reassured: “Don’t worry, I will return safely. If you encounter something difficult to solve during this time, you should go and tell your sister-in-law.”

Huang Siling nodded and said, “Okay. My lord, Brother Xu and I are at home waiting for you to come back.”

When Qiyou went to Jiangnan, unless he brought two officials, all the others were Qiyou’s own people. It’s not that Qi Hao doesn’t give it to others, but the people in the palace use it more easily.

To go to Jiangnan, the waterway is the fastest. Not long after a group of people got on the boat, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. After a while, it started pouring rain.

Qiyou stood in the cabin, watching the pea-sized raindrops falling on the deck outside, and said softly, “I’m afraid this errand will be a little tricky.”

The personal attendant, Zhao Qian, said with a smile: “If the prince comes out, no matter how difficult the case is, we can investigate it clearly.”

This flattery, well done. Qiyou said with a smile, “Of course, if we can’t find out about this case, wouldn’t we betray the trust of my parents’ cultivator.”

Speaking of Yunqing and Yuxi, Qiyou said, “I don’t know where my parents are now? If I’m in Jiangnan, I can go and play with them after I’ve investigated the case.”

Zhao Qian reminded: “Your Highness, if the case is cleared up, Your Highness, you have to return to Beijing to recover your life.” My Lord, never forgets to eat, drink, and have fun.

“The case has been investigated. Chang Yongnian and Pan Shengyuan can return to Beijing to recover their lives. It doesn’t matter if I go back or not.” Chang Yongnian and Pan Shengyuan are the two officials who followed Qiyou to Yangzhou.

Zhao Qian disagreed: “When the time comes, let them return to Beijing to resume their lives, and then they will have to rob them of the credit.”

Qiyou rolled his eyes inelegantly and said, “I can’t bear to say that your beautiful girl wants to go back to Beijing sooner, why would you say such stupid things.” He is not a petty official who has no power or power to be bullied. Unless very Yongnian and Pan Shengyuan have had their brains flooded, they would never dare to take credit for him.

Zhao Qian didn’t feel embarrassed when he saw that little Jiujiu in his heart was exposed, but he smiled and said, “I can’t hide anything from you, my lord.” Zhao Qian only got married last year, and after getting married, he sticks to his pretty daughter-in-law as long as there is nothing.

Qi You laughed and scolded: “Look at your greatness.”

The heavy rain stopped for more than half an hour, and Qiyou walked out of the cabin as soon as the rain stopped.

A rainbow hangs in the air. So beautiful, you can’t take your eyes off it.

Zhao Qian said: “My lord, after the wind and rain comes a rainbow. This errand will surely be completed smoothly.”

Qiyou laughed loudly: “That’s a good word, there is progress.” In fact, he just said that casually. No matter how difficult it is, this matter has to be investigated.

This evening, the boat docked on the shore for the night. Unless there was an emergency, it would drive overnight. Generally, it will dock after dark, which is safer. After dinner, Qiyou was so bored that he asked the boatman for a fishing rod and caught a fish.

Chang Yongnian looked at Qixuan’s leisurely appearance, and said to Pan Shengyuan worriedly: “You prince is like this, it’s not like he is going to the office, but he is coming to play.” Chang Yongnian was the second place in the 12th year of Zhiyuan. The first three years have been staying in the Hanlin Academy. Last year, that is, the year that Qihao ascended the throne, he was transferred to the Ministry of Housing and served as the head of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, which is the sixth-grade official of the Ministry of Housing.

Chang Yongnian was actually worried about Qiyou, and always felt that he was not doing his right job.

Since Qiyou served as the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, he often arrives late and leaves early. The time he spends on business is not as long as he has to manage his own shop. Few officials in the capital did not know about this matter. It is precisely because of this that many people have an illusion that Qiyou became the left servant of the Punishment Department because of the convenience of his status.

Pan Shengyuan was a member of the Ministry of Punishment and was good at torture. Because he was an official in the Ministry of Punishment, he knew that he would be able to complete the tasks entrusted to Qiyou quickly and without error. Not everyone can have this kind of ability. Therefore, Pan Shengyuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with Qixuan being late and leaving early.

Of course, if ordinary people were so dry, the black gauze hat would be gone. But this person is King You, and even if there is a criticism, he will murmur a few words in private. No one would go to the emperor without a wink to complain, even those censors turned a blind eye.

Hearing this dissatisfied tone, Pan Shengyuan said with a smile: “Lord Chang, you don’t need to be nervous yet if you haven’t arrived in Yangzhou yet.” A person like Chang Yongnian would not believe his words unless he saw it with his own eyes. If he talks a lot, he will think he is flattering King You. Therefore, he did not want to say more.

Chang Yongnian didn’t say more and returned to the cabin to rest.

Qiyou’s fishing skills are still good, and he caught a lot of fish today. There are big and small, the small one is as big as two fingers, and the big one weighs a pound.

Zhao Qian took the bucket and asked, “My lord, is this fish steamed or boiled?”

“The big ones will cook the fish soup tomorrow morning, and the small ones will be roasted and eaten.”

Pan Shengyuan smelled the fragrance and came out of the cabin, saw the fish on the grill and said with a smile: “My lord, it seems that Xiaguan has a good time today.”

Qiyou didn’t lift his head, and turned over the small fish that was strung up in his hand.

Pan Shengyuan said with a bitter face: “My lord, the lower officials can’t make it!” This grilled fish is very delicious when it is done well. If you don’t get it right, you’ll die if it’s unpalatable. At his level, he still won’t challenge this high difficulty.

Qiyou then looked up, looked at Pan Shengyuan and said, “Do you mean to let this king bake it for you?”

Pan Shengyuan didn’t have the guts to say, “My lord, let the boat lady come!” Normally, the boat lady on the boat cooks more delicious food.

Qiyou is not so patient: “If you want to eat, do it yourself, or go back to the cabin to sleep.”

Pan Shengyuan could only bake himself bitterly. Then, a bunch of small fish was roasted into black pieces by him.

As for Chang Yongnian, he never left the house at all. However, as long as he didn’t chatter, Qiyou wouldn’t pay attention to him.

After walking for ten days, the group arrived in Yangzhou. Arrived at the pier at dusk, so after disembarking they found an inn to stay.

Chang Yongnian’s expression changed slightly when he heard Zhao Qian and the shopkeeper say that all of them had to be in an upper class room. It is understandable that Qiyou lives in a first-class room, after all, he is a nobleman of Tianhuang. However, Zhao Qian also lived in the upper-class room with the guards, which was too expensive. They go on business and the expenses are public.

Chang Yongnian said to Qiyou, “My lord, there is a fixed cost for business trips. If you live in a first-class room, you will definitely exceed the cost.”

Qiyou hates Momo Haw people the most. If he knew beforehand that Chang Yongnian was such a person, he wouldn’t agree to let this person come with him: “If you want to live in a common room, just tell the shopkeeper.” , went upstairs.

Zhao Qian and the guard ignored Chang Yongnian and followed Qiyou upstairs.

Pan Shengyuan kindly reminded Chang Yongnian and said, “Your Highness will not do anything to slander others.” How could a rich and powerful lord like King Yiyou think about taking advantage of the public’s family. This time, the expenses that exceed the quota must be paid for by himself.

Even the entourage and the guards cook in the first-class room. If he lives in the lower-class room, it will be too much. In the end, Chang Yongnian still lived in a first-class room.

All the dinners were delivered to their respective rooms by Xiao Er, and they did not get together to eat.

Zhao Qian waited for Qiyou to finish his dinner, and said, “Your Highness, this surnamed Chang is too ignorant.”

Those who can follow Qiyou are not ordinary people. Zhao Qian had long disliked Chang Yongnian. If it wasn’t for the business trip, he would definitely look good in the capital.

Qi You smiled and said, “Business matters.” Qi You had already seen through Chang Yongnian’s thoughts. However, he was too lazy to deal with it. There are many people who dislike him, not less than one Chang Yongnian. But if Chang Yongnian doesn’t listen to him and do things, then he won’t be polite.

Zhao Qian nodded and said nothing.

After dinner, Qiyou called Chang Yongnian and Pan Shengyuan over and said, “The night view of Hangzhou is very beautiful. Would you like to watch it with me?”

Pan Shengyuan replied without thinking: “Okay.” I have long heard that there is heaven in the sky and Suzhou and Hangzhou in the bottom. This time, I naturally want to have a good experience of the prosperous and prosperous Yangzhou.

Chang Yongnian shook his head and said, “I’m a little tired, I want to rest early.”

This temperament is so unpleasant. Pan Shengyuan did not know how Chang Yongnian could gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Household.

Qiyou waved his hand and said, “Then you should rest early!” Next time you go out to play, there is no need to call this guy again.
