Chapter 1926

In the second year of Taichang, Zeng Xinde, the censor of Jiangnan Road, impeached Bai Zhenghu, the magistrate of Yangzhou, for colluding with salt merchants to make huge profits.

Qixuan looked at the fold, after thinking about it, decided to let Qixuan to investigate the case.

Unfortunately, Qiyou didn't want to do this job: "brother, you can give 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. Now it's time for you to eat again."

He was eager to go to Hangzhou, but he couldn't bring up any interest in handling the case. Qiyou said bitterly, "brother, can I not go?"

Kai Hao shook his head.

Qiyou knew this could not be changed: "Lao zengtou impeached Bai Zhenghu for colluding with the salt merchant, but what evidence is there?"

Kai Hao shook his head and said, "there is a witness, but this witness has died suddenly."

It means that there is no evidence at all now. It's up to him to check. Qiyou said bitterly, "elder brother, you'd better send yuan Bilin to investigate this case." Yuan Bilin is an expert in investigating cases. If you let him go, you will solve the case quickly.

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Yuan Bilin is very good at solving the case, but he may not be able to find out all about it." This is an official salt smuggling case. It can't be controlled without weight.

He was more powerful than yuan Bilin. He was very happy when he was praised: "brother, do you believe me so much?"

"I'm sure you'll be able to find out this," he said Among the three younger brothers, Qiyou has the most eyes. It's not so easy to deceive him.

The words all said this up, Qi you also no longer shirk: "then when to start?"

"As soon as possible."

Qiyou said, "I'll go home. I'll leave after seeing brother Xu."

When Huang Siling heard that Qiyou was leaving, he asked, "what's the matter? I have to leave now?" When I went to Yamen in the morning, I didn't hear that I wanted to go to other places for business.

"It's said that Yangzhou magistrate colluded with salt merchants. Elder brother sent me to investigate this." Seeing Huang Siling worried, Qiyou said with a smile, "don't worry. I'll be back soon."

Huang Siling thought about it and said, "the strong dragon can't beat the local snake. Wang Ye, be careful."

Hearing this, Qiyou said with a smile: "don't worry, I will come back safely. If you come across something difficult to solve during this period of time, you can tell your sister-in-law. "

Huang Siling nodded and said, "OK. Wang Ye, I'll wait for you at home with brother Xu. "

Except for two officials, all the others are Qiyou's own. It's not that Qihao doesn't give it to others, it's the people in the palace who use it more easily.

The fastest way to Jiangnan is by water. Not long after a group of people got on the boat, the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds. After a while, it began to rain cats and dogs.

Qi you stood in the cabin, watching the heavy rain falling on the deck, and said softly, "I'm afraid it's a bit tricky this time."

Zhao Qian, a close follower, said with a smile, "if you have a king, you can find out any difficult case."

It's a good flattery. Qiyou said with a smile: "naturally, if you can't find out the case, it's not to betray the trust of your parents."

Speaking of Yunqing and Yuxi, Qiyou said, "I don't know where my parents are now? If it's in Jiangnan, I can go and play with them after investigating the case. "

Zhao Qian reminded: "Master Wang, if the case is found out, Master Wang, you have to go back to Beijing." My Lord never forgets to eat, drink and have fun.

"The case is clear. Chang Yongnian and pan Shengyuan can go back to Beijing to reply. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not." Chang Yongyong and pan Shengyuan are the two officials who followed Qiyou to Yangzhou.

Zhao Qian did not agree: "when the time comes, let them return to Beijing, when the time comes, the credit will have to be robbed by them."

Qi you rolled his eyes and said, "I can't bear to say that if you want to go back to Beijing earlier, why do you say such stupid things?" He is not a small official who has no power or power to be bullied by others. He will not dare to take credit for him unless he and pan Shengyuan are out of their minds.

When Zhao Qian saw that little 99 was exposed in his heart, he didn't feel embarrassed. He just said with a smile, "I can't hide anything from you." Zhao Qian got married only last year. When he got married, he would stick to his pretty daughter-in-law as long as he had nothing to do.

Qiyou said with a smile: "look at your promise."

It took more than half an hour for the rain to stop, and Qiyou walked out of the cabin as soon as the rain stopped.

A rainbow, hanging in the air. It's so beautiful that people can't move their eyes.

Zhao Qian said: "Lord, after the storm, there is a rainbow. I'm sure I can finish this job smoothly. "

Qiyou laughs: "that's a good thing to say, and it has made progress." In fact, he just said that casually. No matter how hard it is, we have to find out.

This evening, the ship will stay on the shore for the night. Unless there is an emergency, it will be on its way overnight. Generally, it will dock after dark, so it is safer. After dinner, Qiyou was bored and asked the boatman for a fishing rod to catch the fish.

Looking at Qixuan's leisurely appearance, Chang Yongnian anxiously said to pan Shengyuan, "you wang is not like doing business, but like coming to play." Chang Yongnian was the leader in the 12th year of Zhiyuan, and he stayed in the Imperial Academy for the first three years. Last year, that is, the year when Qihao ascended the throne, he was transferred to the Ministry of household affairs and served as the head of Zhejiang Qing Li Si, who was the sixth grade official of the Ministry of household affairs.

Chang Yongnian is actually worried about Qiyou. He always feels that he is not doing his job properly.

Since he was appointed as the left servant of the Ministry of punishment, Qiyou was often late and left early. He doesn't spend as much time on business as he does in his own shop. Few officials in Beijing don't know about this. It is because of this that many people are under the illusion that Qiyou became the Minister of punishment because of the convenience of his identity.

Pan Shengyuan is a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, good at torture. Because he worked in the Ministry of punishment, he knew that he could finish all the tasks that were handed over to Qiyou quickly, and he would not make any mistakes. Not everyone can have this skill. Therefore, pan Shengyuan doesn't think there is any problem with Qixuan's being late and leaving early.

Of course, if ordinary people did this, the black hat would be gone. But this man is king you. Even if he has a complaint, he murmurs in private. No one would run to the emperor without a look to complain. Even the censors turned a blind eye.

Hearing this dissatisfied tone, pan Shengyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Chang, you don't need to be nervous now that you haven't arrived in Yangzhou." People like Chang Yongnian won't believe him unless he sees it with his own eyes. If you talk too much, you will think that he flatters you. Therefore, he is not willing to say more.

Chang Yongnian said nothing more and returned to the cabin to have a rest.

Qiyou's fishing technique is very good. He caught a lot of fish this day. There are big ones and small ones. The small ones are as big as the two fingers, and the big ones weigh more than one jin.

Zhao Qian took the bucket and asked, "Lord, is this fish steamed or boiled?"

"The big one will cook fish soup tomorrow morning, and the small one will roast it."

Pan Shengyuan came out of the cabin smelling the fragrance and saw the fish on the grill. He said with a smile: "Lord, it seems that I have a good mouth today."

Without raising his head, Qi you turned over the fish in his hand.

Pan Shengyuan said bitterly: "Lord, I can't do it!" This roast fish is very delicious. If you don't do it well, you're going to die. At his level, he still doesn't challenge the high difficulty.

Qiyou then looked up at Pan Shengyuan and said, "do you mean to let Wang roast it for you?"

Pan Shengyuan didn't have the courage to say, "Lord, let the boatman come!" Generally speaking, the food made by the boatman on board is delicious.

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

Pan Shengyuan can only bake himself bitterly. Then he baked a bunch of small fish into black pieces.

As for Chang Yongnian, he never came out of the house. But as long as he doesn't gabble, Qiyou won't talk to him.

After a ten day walk, the party arrived in Yangzhou. They arrived at the dock at dusk, so after they got off the ship, they found an inn to stay.

Chang Yongnian's face changed slightly when he heard that Zhao Qian told the shopkeeper that they all wanted to have a superior room. There is nothing wrong with Qiyou living in a superior room. After all, he is a nobleman. But it's too expensive for Zhao Qian to follow the escort to live in a superior room. Their expenses are public.

Chang Yongnian said to Qiyou, "Mr. Wang, there is a quota for the cost of the allowance. If you live in a superior room, you will definitely overspend. "

If he knew Chang Yongnian was such a person in advance, he would not agree to let this person follow him: "if you want to live in an ordinary house, just tell the shopkeeper." Then he went upstairs.

Zhao Qian and the guard also ignore Chang Yongnian and follow Qiyou upstairs.

Pan Shengyuan kindly reminded Chang Yongnian, said: "the Lord will not do things that fall people's talk." King Yiyou, who is rich and powerful, will not want to take advantage of the public. This time, he must have paid more than the quota.

Even the retinue and the guard are in the first-class room. If he lives in the second-class room, it would be too much. In the end, Chang Yongnian lived in a superior room.

Dinner was sent to their rooms by sophomores, and they didn't get together to eat.

Zhao Qian and other Qi you finished their dinner and said, "Lord, this man with the surname Chang is too ungrateful."

Those who can follow Qiyou are not ordinary people. Zhao Qian has long been dissatisfied with Chang Yongnian. If it wasn't for the tolerance, he would surely be good-looking in the capital.

Qiyou said with a smile, "business matters." Qi you has seen through Chang Yongnian's thoughts for a long time. However, he is too lazy to pay attention. There are many people who don't like him, such as Chang Yongnian. But if Chang Yongnian doesn't listen to him, he won't be polite.

Zhao Qian nodded his head and said nothing more.

After dinner, Qiyou called Chang Yongnian to come with Pan Shengyuan and said, "the night view of Hangzhou is very beautiful. Would you like to join me in watching it?"

Pan Shengyuan said, "OK." I've long heard that there is heaven on the earth and Suzhou and Hangzhou on the earth. Naturally, I want to have a good look at the prosperous and rich Yangzhou this time.

Chang Yongnian shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to have a rest earlier."

This disposition is too unpleasant. Pan Shengyuan does not know how Chang Yongnian can gain a firm foothold in Hubu.

Qi you waved his hand and said, "then have a rest early." Next time you go out, there's no need to call this guy.
