C349 349 Minta VS Visit

Everyone knew this in their hearts, but only because of the angle. At this time, other than Wang Xuan Ling, the only person who was looking at the person on the river bank was Liu Ruo Qing.

Yan Shuo's teasing caused Wang Xuan Ling's expression to stiffen, a trace of rejection flashing past his eyes.

"The emperor is joking."

Wang Xuan Ling did not know how to care about this matter, and was unwilling to think about it.

Moreover, that Shen Qin guy...

Although Yuan Er did not die in her hands, he did not believe that Shen Qin did not participate in that matter.

But now, with Yuan Er dead, and the Liu's already dead, even if he suspected, it would be useless.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the loathing and hatred that flashed past Wang Xuan Ling's eyes, and felt that Shen Qin was somewhat pitiful.

To fall in love with a man who suspected her, how difficult life would be in the future.

No wonder she was afraid of Wang Xuan Ling seeing her light come out at the same time.

If he had seen the lamp, he might have mocked her.

"Eh? Xuan Ling, who is this young lady that is secretly happy for you? She has already put out the lights, how can I be embarrassed to let you know? "

Wang Xuan Ling's expression was a little strange, but because the one who asked the question was Yan Jue, he could not refute it.

"Aiya, eighth brother, I've discovered that you don't have a wangfei to manage you. Why do you always have to meddle in other people's affairs?"

Liu Ruo Qing hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and then looked sideways at Yan Shuo, and said: "Your Majesty, hurry up and find a suitable lady to give Eighth Brother a marriage, and find an eight royal sister-in-law to manage him."

Yan Jue felt that he was innocent to be glared at by Liu Ruo Qing.

Isn't it because he, the eighth prince was too easy to talk to? This girl actually dared to climb over his head several times, and even asked the Kaiser to give him a marriage!

"Cut it out, I don't want to be a wife or slave like you, Ol 'Nine!"

Yan Jue glanced at Yan Yuan snappily. When he thought about how he would become like Yan Yuan, who only cared for his wife and not his parents, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He even more so had the thought of getting married.

In his carefree and carefree days, not to mention how comfortable he was, he definitely had to find trouble with him.

Seeing Yan Jue bringing up the topic between him and Yan Yuan, the arrogance on Liu Ruo Qing's face lessened.

Yan Yuan was also not in a very good mood. Although there was talk and laughter inside the boat, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as it seemed.

Just then, Yan Shuo retracted his smile, and his expression suddenly became serious.

My two uncles and my older cousin, I have another matter to discuss with you when I ask you out this time.

Yan Shuo's serious tone caused everyone present to turn their gaze towards him at the same time.

"What is it?"

Yan Yuan spoke first.

"A few months ago, you still remember the snowstorm in Guangshun Mansion, right?"

"Of course I do."

Yan Jue put down the wine cup in his hand. Compared to his lazy and lazy look from before, he seemed to be more serious.

"The snow disaster that time was very serious. A large area of farmland was completely starved to death, and many commoners were starved to death. It could be said that they were starving everywhere. But, didn't the imperial government very soon pay them with food for the disaster?"

From Yan Shuo's serious expression, the few of them could sense that something was up.

"We received the secret report yesterday and paid the food that was sent to the Guangshun Mansion, but it was not given to the victims. Currently, the people of the Guangshun Mansion are seething with resentment, and there are already signs of a rise in the ranks of the people."

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes turned cold. Having watched so many corrupt officials' television dramas, she was extremely sensitive to this kind of thing.

In ancient times, the people ate like the sky, and the common people's demands were very simple. It was good as long as one was able to eat their fill and get warm, but if one was unable to even ensure their basic survival, then they would naturally rise up.

Since he would die anyway, he might as well take a gamble.

"Has the food been paid?"

Yan Yuan tightened his grip on his wine cup, "It's already been a few months since the food was paid, how could it not reach the hands of the commoners?"

The few of them had vaguely detected something, and heard Yan Shuo say: "So, we plan to send someone to Guangshun Mansion to investigate this matter, if the food rations were really taken away by someone, and the officials below did not have such guts, there must be some high ranking officials in the imperial court, or other border envoys who would secretly support us."

Saying that, Yan Shuo paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping past the people in front of him, "That's why, we do not want to alarm any of the officials in the court, and more importantly, we cannot let the two royal uncles personally investigate, in case we alert the enemy, so, we want to hear your opinion on who should be sent out."

After a short conversation, the few of them fell into a momentary silence.

After a while, he heard Wang Xuan Ling say: "Your majesty, although I am the son of the prime minister, I do not have any official position, furthermore, I have been travelling a lot in my early years, and some of the ministers in the imperial court are also aware of it, so, they told me to leave the capital to investigate secretly, and no one would suspect anything."

This matter was originally a security guarantee, and the court officials should not know about the matter of the relief food not being given out.

Furthermore, he would not think of where a young master of the Prime Minister's family with no official title might go. Wang Xuan Ling was indeed a good candidate.

Before he came here, Yan Shuo had already considered this point.

"We have also considered, if the Eighth Emperor's uncle or the Ninth Imperial Uncle were to suddenly leave the capital, some of the more considerate officials in the imperial court would definitely notice, and it would be easy for us to alert them if we want to investigate."

Yan Shuo frowned his beautiful eyebrows, and continued: "But cousin does not always interact with government officials, against these cunning government officials, we are worried that you might be discovered by them, so we must find a capable person to help you."

"Let me do it."

The finger Yan Yuan pressed on the wine cup gently loosened and a few cracks began to appear on the cup due to the fury that he had just suppressed.

Even if he didn't show it on his face, it was obvious how angry he was right now.

The few of them turned to look at Yan Yuan. Although Yan Shuo had explained the reason to not let them go with him to investigate, Yan Yuan had still said it himself.

"The matter of corrupting the food for disaster relief can't be avoided. The officials in the capital are unable to find competent officials to help Xuan Ling within a short period of time. We must personally investigate."

"But, Royal Uncle, I think you should know better than me how many people are watching your whereabouts in the capital." But, Royal Uncle, I believe you should know better than me how many people are watching your whereabouts in the capital.

Yan Yuan's face did not change, but he looked at Liu Ruo Qing with an uncomprehending gaze, "I have my ways."

He did not elaborate further. After drinking a mouthful of wine, he said, "Tomorrow, the Emperor only needs to assign an official to investigate this matter clearly within the Guangshun Mansion. Leave the matters of the secret investigation to me."

Seeing that Yan Yuan seemed to understand everything, Yan Shuo and the rest did not question him anymore.
