The eight thousand prisoners of war in Fuzhou are now being kept in Hengxiang. During these days, they were dispersed and veteran general Xia Chuan was put in charge to supervise their work.
Xia Zhaoyi counted the time and didn't quite believe that Chen Xihua and the others could collect nearly one hundred thousand taels of cash so quickly in the era of war and chaos without telling Jiao Jinhu and the political opponents in the DPRK.
Choosing this node should be based on intercession and bargaining.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "This is Qi Yong, their military advisor?"
"Well, that person calls himself Qi Yong."
"Senior sister, you also captured the prisoners of war in Fuzhou?" Zhili asked.
"Yeah, but I don't want to pay it back for the time being," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "To be precise, I don't want to pay it back within two years."
Not only was he torn apart, Dai Yu was also stunned: "Ah Li, with more than 8,000 mouths to eat, this can't be enough for us..."
Xia Zhaoyi's smile became brighter: "Chen Xihua and his counselor named Qi Yong would never dare to let Jiao Jinhu know about the captured soldiers. They would tell all lies in front of him. One lie needs another to round it off. I don't know if they
What will be said in the end, but we can occasionally cooperate here, so that it will not be a problem for them to hide the truth. The final situation is that we and them cooperate with each other. Hengxiang goes south to Zhenzhou, Linzhou and Kuozhou, and Chen Xihua and Qi Yong
He will be more nervous than us and keep us safe."
Zhili and Dai Yu were stunned when they heard this.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and picked off a leaf and gently turned the petiole: "In this way, Hengxiang and Zhenzhou, Zaozhou and Kuozhou are both prosperous and destructive, and they are independent from them and can contain them at any time.
Moreover, these eight thousand soldiers and horses are working on their own."
Zhili stared blankly at the leaf turning gently on her fingertips as tender as green onions. Why did she feel that it was not a leaf, but Jiao Jinhu, no, it was the world.
"Yes..." Dai Yu said softly, "Qi Yong is a strategist and can speak well in front of Jiao Jinhu. As long as we cooperate well here, if we encounter danger in the future, Qi Yong may be able to use and coordinate Jiao Jinhu.
The other troops are here to protect Hengxiang. No, to protect his and Chen Xihua's lives."
Speaking of this, Dai Yu's eyes changed when he looked at the girl.
He had always known that she was powerful. Ever since she was young, Dai Yu had regarded her as a god-like person.
But now, with just a few words in her chat and laughter, the threat of Heng Xiang's march to the south has been eliminated, and hundreds of thousands of people can live in peace without losing a single soldier or fighting.
It is said that she strategized and used soldiers like a god, but the soldiers she used were not her own soldiers, but the captured soldiers she snatched!
She turns her enemies into her own puppets!
Dai Yu was glad for the first time that the young master and her were not rivals, but close friends and close friends. It would be terrible to meet such an enemy.
Xia Zhaoyi blinked at this time and turned to look at Guo Yunzhe.
Guo Yunzhe sat on the stone bench and kept looking at her, his eyes flickering.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Xia Zhaoyi asked, her voice softening unconsciously.
Guo Yunzhe didn't respond, but his eyes were still shining.
Zhili looked at him and said: "It's strange. When I talk to him, he never pays attention to me and rarely looks at me. But why does he immediately look at you as soon as the little senior sister speaks?"
"Yes," Dai Yu said, "I am the same way. There is no reaction at all when I talk to him. It seems that I can't hear him at all."
"Could it be that..." Zhili looked towards Xia Zhaoyi, "Sister, is it because of your pleasant voice that he was attracted to it?"
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "I don't know."
Thinking about it, Xia Zhaoyi looked away.
Guo Yunzhe's matter has a long way to go. She still has many things to be busy with today, and it's already getting late.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Zhili. Dai Yu said just now that he was injured, but judging from his appearance and spirit, the injury should not be serious.
He didn't want to say anything, so he would ask more questions after he came back.
"Brother Dai, I'll go to the yamen first," Xia Zhaoyi said to Dai Yu, "You don't need to worry about those people in Fuzhou for now. Gao Zhou will come over in two hours, just hand it over to Gao Zhou."
"Well," Dai Yu nodded, "Ah Li, you need to take care of yourself and don't be too tired."
"Not tired." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
But when she turned to leave, she turned back: "Where is Shen Lie? Is he still in Guangzhiyuan?"
"No, the young master left the city again early in the morning, and it was the Chen family ancestral hall. He sent people to go there again that day, and today he went to find them."
Xia Zhaoyi frowned and nodded: "Oh..."
Zhili over there coughed lightly.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.
"Brother Shen, you came back last night with your little senior sister in your arms." Zhe Li said meaningfully.
"..."
When Dai Yu heard this, he quietly observed the girl's features.
Unfortunately, nothing can be seen.
"I'll go to the Yamen first." Xia Zhaoyi said calmly, turned and left.
Since the people from Naozhou were at the main entrance, Xia Zhaoyi didn't want to cause trouble, so he went around the backyard pond and took the northeastern back entrance.
On the way, I saw that all the servants in the mansion were in groups, rarely alone, and everyone was busy and in a hurry. From the fragments of words they mentioned, it was known that Zhu Chang would be cremated tomorrow.
Seeing that they were so busy, Xia Zhaoyi tried his best to go to a remote area and not disturb them.
Suddenly a "meow~" was heard in the air, and Xia Zhaoyi raised her head. The little black cat, which had been missing for a few days, was sitting on the treetop, looking at her lazily.
It seems that the conditions in the house are good, as it has gained a lot of weight.
Just as Xia Zhaoyi was about to look away, the little black cat suddenly jumped from the treetop to the eaves, and ran nimbly to the other side.
The branches swayed and swayed, and the branches of the tree were full of shadows, disturbing the sight.
Among these chaotic images, Xia Zhaoyi saw a bloody rag.
It was hung slightly lower, but it was close to the eaves, so she didn't notice it just now.
The little black cat may have been attracted by the smell.
Xia Zhaoyi stepped on the fallen Taihu stone-carved lamp holder and flipped it up lightly.
The rags were plucked from the tree. They were the clothes of the servants in the backyard of Qingyue Pavilion. The blood on them was thick and black, and the cloth was not new, but it was still clean.
There was a heavy rain yesterday, so a piece of cloth placed on a tree should not be so clean. It can be seen that it was cut from the branches after the rain and even the treetops were slightly dry.
Xia Zhaoyi turned her head and looked towards the eaves. With her keen observation, she immediately focused on an invisible footprint.
Xia Zhaoyi crossed the main ridge, walked towards another eaves, and followed the footprints forward.
Finally, she stopped in front of a miscellaneous room.
"Come out." Xia Zhaoyi said directly.
Qingyue Pavilion has been heavily guarded these days, making it difficult to get in and out, like a copper wall or an iron wall.
Those who want to commit trouble can only be people who have been in the house for a long time.
If you want to get out, unless there is an unknown secret passage, it is impossible to climb over the wall and the various gates.
There was no movement in the miscellaneous room.
Just as Xia Zhaoyi was about to step forward and push the door open, the door to the miscellaneous room suddenly opened, and a man with a stooped back quickly rushed out and came towards her.
