After receiving the exact news from Song Qinghui, Mrs. Song felt much lighter.
Song Huiyue said softly: "Auntie, let's go back to Kyoto, and we will stay in Kyoto from now on, closer to Qinghui."
Mrs. Song pondered for a moment: "Is the King of Jin also going back to Beijing?"
"Yes." Song Huiyue nodded.
Mrs. Song thought for a while, although Song Huiyue had always had great ideas in her heart, her ideas about marriage were very bad. She seemed to have not yet understood the relationship between men and women, so she swallowed some words.
The King of Jin has a huge rainbow in his heart, and he has a bright future ahead of him. The small Song family is leaning on grass and trees. If the prince is in need, he will naturally go through fire and water without hesitation.
It's just that if the King of Jin wants to settle the tripod, a marriage that can help is essential...
"My lord, if you need help with something..."
Song Huiyue smiled and said: "We have too much time to take care of ourselves, how can we help the prince."
"That's true."
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Hou Er, who was lighter than an ape, led his five brothers, plus Du Lan, who came shamelessly, and suddenly arrived at Zhuxi Zhai.
When Grandma Yun opened the door, Hou Er asked the others to wait outside and entered the door himself. Just as he was about to ask the eldest lady if she was there, he saw a small bench placed on the bluestone board, and Song Huiyue sat firmly on the small bench.
.
She held the bamboo tube steady with her left hand and held a machete in her right hand. She first cut a gap on the top of the bamboo tube with the machete. After the blade got stuck in the machete, she raised the bamboo tube with the knife and knocked it hard on the ground. With a "click" sound, the bamboo tube fell.
Split neatly into two halves.
When she heard the noise, she let go of the bamboo tube and looked up at Hou Er.
Hou Er hurriedly bowed forward and said in a low voice: "Madam, do you still remember me? I work under Brother You Song and I am the prince's disciple."
Song Huiyue said: "Remember, your ability to fly over eaves and walls is very rare."
Hou Er smiled shyly: "Thank you very much, Madam, for the compliment."
Du Lan was anxious waiting outside and urged weakly: "Second brother, you are serious, I still have to talk to the eldest lady."
Hou Er turned around and scolded him: "You're itchy again, aren't you?"
Du Lan was not afraid of him at all: "If you don't tell me, I will."
When Song Huiyue heard Du Lan's voice, although she was out of breath, she finally saved her life, so she asked Grandma Yun to invite him in to talk.
Du Lan refused to come in: "I have a dove-shaped face, and I can't bear to see people. Madam, it's not good for me to guard Zhang Xutang, and my family has suffered a lot. Madam..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but choke up.
Song Huiyue said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's Zhang Xutang's fault."
"I'll be satisfied if the eldest lady doesn't blame me. I'll beg the eldest lady for a glass of wine another day... some tea, second brother. I've finished my words. You can get down to business."
Hou Er had no choice but to turn around and whisper to Song Huiyue: "Madam, Your Majesty asked me to come because I have something important to ask for your help."
He explained the matter in detail.
It turned out that Pei Yuzhang was ordered by the emperor, so he traveled day and night, sailed by boat and horseback to Jinghu North Road, took over the power of the garrison, and borrowed 10,000 troops from Yanshi to defeat the thieves.
He was a famous general on the water in the past, and his actions were effective and he captured a group of river thieves.
Under severe torture, these thieves revealed the place where the tax money was hidden, but most of the money had been transported away, and not even ten thousand taels were left behind.
Originally, the only thing left to do was to track down the whereabouts of the tax money and hold Jiang Thief accountable for his death penalty. Unexpectedly, under the joint trial of the four divisions, Jiang Thief told a shocking truth.
After the more than 200,000 taels of silver were melted, only 60% of the pure silver remained, 40% of which was doped with copper, and the outside was painted with a layer of tin powder to make it look white.
The real silver is only on the top layer.
Pei Yuzhang ordered people to carry out the collected tax money on the spot, and invited four bank storekeepers to wipe the pure silver and official silver with "eating silver tigers".
The pure silver of Yinlou is gray-white, with more white and less gray.
The official silver is dark yellow and turns green, showing that it contains a small amount of brass.
Seeing this situation, all the officials present were stunned.
This is official silver, it is to be collected into the national treasury, it is the foundation of the country, and it is also the face of the court. If the official bank is fake, how can the common people dare to trust the court again in the future.
Pei Yuzhang took the initiative and issued a sea arrest document on the spot, arresting the person responsible for the Sihai Bank. He also sent an urgent document to Beijing to state the matter, and asked the superior to check the national treasury to see if the tax bank deposited in the treasury in previous years was also false, not only in Guangdong and Guangxi.
road, and the tax money left on other roads must also be checked.
If Prime Minister Zhang had pleaded with the guilty officials from the beginning and had reservations, and had not asked Pei Yuzhang to come forward to clean up the Zhang family, he, the Prime Minister, would not be able to escape the wrath of the emperor no matter what.
Today, there is an order to order all roads to pass on the matter of tax collection and taxation. The general commander will conduct an investigation, work with the magistrate, and call the criminal department.
"Madam, the prince's monthly salary and material money are also allocated from the treasury, so we have to check here too. The prince asks you to guard the entrance to the palace during his absence."
Song Huiyue put down the machete: "Where has the prince gone?"
Hou Er replied: "The prince, the transshipment envoy and others all have to go to the Ezhou Program Office to help check the tax money there. However, there is not enough manpower and they cannot check themselves, so they can only cross-check. Xie Changshi also followed.
"
When the King of Jin went out, Huang Ting had to follow him. Xie Changshi was cautious and meticulous by nature, so he stayed here and overused his talents. Xie Zhou was still sitting on the bench.
These disciples below need someone to mobilize them.
Song Huiyue got up and walked to the pile of bamboos, rummaging through them and asking, "To what extent do you want to do it?"
Hou Er thought about what King Jin said: "If someone with ulterior motives comes to visit, the bigger the fuss, the better."
Song Huiyue took back her hand, took out the driest bamboo tube, and put it back on the bench: "The person with the most ulterior motives is Zhang Xutang."
Then she raised the knife, raised the knife with her hand, and split the bamboo into two halves: "Has the day been set for the silver inspection?"
"It's decided that on the tenth day of the lunar month, the transfer envoy from Jinghu South Road will come to check." Hou Er remembered another thing, "The prince also asked me to tell the eldest lady that it is no big deal if it is haunted."
As soon as she heard about the haunting, Song Huiyue thought of Qi Yu.
After Qi Yu's exaggeration, the palace of the King of Jin was not only haunted, but also a gathering of ghosts. Hundreds of ghosts were unleashed, occupying the courtyard in broad daylight and creating mischief inside.
These words first passed through Qi Yu's mouth, and their power had been amplified dozens of times. Then, after being spread by enthusiastic and unscrupulous people, they became even more unstoppable. Even if the heavenly master descended to earth, he could not save King Jin.
No wonder the King of Jin has kept the door of his palace closed for many years and has not married a wife. It turns out that it is all secretive.
There are also those wandering Taoist priests and monks who ran outside the Prince Jin's palace and said they saw the black air shrouding the palace. As long as the Prince Jin is sincere in exorcising ghosts, they will surely be able to capture him.
Hou Er took care of the haunting, but he only knew that it was to scare these little ladies, and he didn't know what the importance was at the moment.
He scratched his head and looked at Song Huiyue: "Madam, I didn't understand what the prince said, so I had to pass it on to you like this."
"I understand." Song Huiyue cut the pair of bamboo tubes in half again.
This time I didn't chop it well, it was split crookedly.
She put down the machete and shook her hand. It looked like her hand was unsteady, but in fact she knew that she had just been distracted.
When did she and Prince Jin have a good connection?
