Helian Bingshuang lifted the sedan curtain and said displeasedly: "Mother Chang, don't make a fuss. If my uncle has something to do, just let him do his work!"
As Helian Bingshuang said this, he stepped off the carriage on the stool that the coachman had arranged. He then ordered Chang's mother to hand a bag of things to Shi Shi, and said softly: "Since you are also going to the county seat, please give me this bag."
I brought the things to Mr. Shangguan, but he left in a hurry and didn’t bring a change of clothes. Also, he has been coughing a bit these days, so remember to tell him to drink more water!"
Fifteen quickly responded.
As they were talking, Shangguan Yu's entourage led the horses out of the town. Ying Qian and Shi Shi quickly got on their horses and headed towards the capital.
Helian Bingshuang stood at the gate of the town and stared for a long time before turning around and getting on the carriage.
It was about a hundred miles from Wuming Town to the county seat. Chu Yiqing followed Guan Yu without delaying for a moment, and finally arrived at the county seat at dawn.
Outside the county seat, on the road leading from the county seat to Yuncheng, people from Shangguanyu and people from Chu Yiqing built dozens of thatched sheds on the roadside. There were more than a dozen large pots supported outside the thatched sheds. Now that it was getting bright, some people had already started to cook.
Make a fire and cook.
"Sir!" Shangguan Yu's follower Han Wu came out of the hut and saw Shangguan Yu as soon as he received the news.
"Miss Chu!" Zhang Yang, who has been following Shan Xiong, also came to see her.
"You two come in with us!" Shangguan Yu ordered in a cold voice. The two of them quickly responded and followed Chu Yiqing and Shangguan Yu into the hay shed.
"Miss Chu, you must save Brother Shan!" Zhang Yang begged in a low voice as soon as he entered the hay shed.
Chu Yiqing frowned and asked coldly: "What is going on? Didn't I tell you before I left that you must not provoke people from the Yamen? How could you hurt the people from the Yamen?"
Zhang Yang shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
Shangguan Yu looked at Hanwu and said coldly: "Hanwu, tell me!"
Hanwu clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Sir, it's like this. Shan Xiong didn't know that he was from the county government. Those people didn't wear official clothes and didn't explain their identities. They transported a large amount of grain and vegetables.
Shan Xiong thought they were members of the five major families and refused to let them pass. As a result, they started fighting. After injuring the people, they found out that the leader was Jiang Xiong Yun's brother-in-law! According to his subordinates' speculation, Xiong Yun should also be running a business secretly.
, maybe he didn’t have time to notify his people when we closed the road this time, which resulted in such a misunderstanding!”
Chu Yiqing and Shangguan Yu looked at each other. It would be terrible if this was really the case. Not only did Shan Xiong accidentally collide with Xiong Yun, he also ruined Xiong Yun's good deeds, and Xiong Yun was afraid that the matter would be exposed and he might kill someone!
"As soon as it's clear, I think we should go to the county office as soon as possible!" Shangguan Yu said in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing nodded, and the two of them hurried on their way.
In the backyard of the county government office, Xiong Yun walked around anxiously, while You Tiao, who was hanging by one arm, gasped in pain and complained: "Brother-in-law, please stop walking around. Now
Things are already like this. In my opinion, we should kill those people first, then nothing will happen!"
"Shut up. Do you know who their master is? It's Chu Yiqing! Let's not talk about her origins in the Prince Chu's palace, but let's talk about her current relationship with the fifth prince. Not to mention me, even the prince doesn't dare to touch her.
She has a finger!" Xiong Yun shouted angrily, "I sent someone to send you a letter a long time ago, asking you to suspend your business first, but you refused to listen. What should I do now? They must have guessed that those goods are mine.
, do you know that the court is now conducting strict investigations, and once it is found out, you can be executed on the spot!"
"When I received your letter, the goods were already on the way. Brother-in-law, we traveled thousands of miles to transport them. Don't you want to watch thousands of taels of silver rotting on the road? I thought I might be able to get through by chance, but who knows?
You idiot is so serious, you must pursue and investigate carefully, I have no choice but to take action!" You Tiao couldn't help but complain, pointed to the injured arm and said, "Brother-in-law, I sacrificed my arm for you!
"
Xiong Yun sighed and had to calm down and said: "If we don't do anything now, we can only kill people and silence them, but we must do it cleanly. Didn't the plague break out last time in the county government and killed a child? So now ten more people will die.
It’s normal to have a few prisoners!”
Upon hearing this, You Tiao immediately said happily: "Okay, brother-in-law, let's do it like this, but we have to do it quickly, otherwise we won't be able to take action when Shangguan Yu and Chu Yiqing arrive!"
Xiong Yun nodded immediately.
While the two were discussing, the official came in and reported, "Master, Mr. Shangguan and Miss Chu are outside asking to see you!"
You Tiao was startled and quickly stood up and said: "Brother-in-law, we must stop them first, I will go and do something right away!"
Xiong Yun could only wave his hand. No matter what, he must delay time for You Tiao to take action.
Chu Yiqing and Shangguan Yu were invited into the back hall. The master of the Yamen stepped forward with a mournful expression on his face and said: "Sir, Mr. Shangguan, Miss Chu, it's really unlucky for you to come. Our lord's brother-in-law is too seriously injured, so lord has gone to take care of him.
I'm not in the Yamen for the moment, but I've sent someone to invite you, please wait a moment!"
Shangguan Yu quickly said: "Then there is Mr. Lao!"
The Yamen Master even said that he didn't dare to take it, so he withdrew.
Time passed by, Chu Yiqing and Shangguan Yu had been waiting in the Yamen for two hours, and it was already lunch time. They had not eaten breakfast because they had traveled all night, and now they felt even more uncomfortable.
Feeling extremely hungry.
"Master!" Shangguan Yu was really impatient and stood up and called.
"Yes, Mr. Shangguan!" The Yamen master hurriedly came in and asked respectfully: "What are your orders, Mr. Shangguan?"
"Why don't you adults come back?" Shangguan Yu said coldly. Now after waiting all morning, he already understood that Xiong Yun was avoiding him on purpose!
"Sir, Mr. Shangguan, you have just sent someone to deliver the news. It is said that Mr. You's injury has worsened and he is in critical condition. You cannot leave. In this case, it is already late anyway. It is better for Mr. Shangguan and Miss Chu to have lunch here.
, maybe your Excellency will be back soon!" Master Yamen said quickly.
Chu Yiqing stepped forward slowly and said: "Master, it's my subordinate's fault that Young Master You is injured. How about this? You tell us where the You Mansion is, and I and Young Master Shangguan will go visit it in person! It's also a good idea to give Young Master You a favor by the way.
apologize!"
The master of the Yamen hurriedly said: "To be honest with Miss Chu, I have already given the order, saying that I am afraid that Mr. You's family will be excited when they see Miss Chu. If I hurt Miss Chu, it will be a sin. Miss Chu should wait here."
!”
"Then can we meet Shan Xiong and the others first?" Chu Yiqing was concerned about Shan Xiong's safety and asked.
The Yamen Master immediately made a troubled expression and said: "Miss Chu, as you know, the Lord is not in the mansion, how can I, a small Yamen Master, do such a big thing? Miss Chu should wait for the Lord to come back.
!”
After the Yamen master finished speaking, he left. After a while, someone brought the table in and laid out the dishes.
When the people serving the dishes went out, Chu Yiqing whispered to Shangguan Yu: "It seems that Xiong Yun is deliberately dragging us. If he doesn't come back, we won't be able to ask to see Shan Xiong at all!"
Shangguan Yu also sensed that something was wrong, but now that both of them were at the Yamen and Xiong Yun could not be found, the matter was really difficult to solve.
Chu Yiqing thought for a while and suddenly said: "Boss Shangguan, why don't we go back and think of a solution first?"
Shangguan Yu nodded and called the Yamen Master in together with Chu Yiqing.
"Master, since you won't come back, we won't bother you. Miss Chu and I are temporarily staying at the Longxing Inn on the street. If you come back, please send someone to notify us!" Shangguan Yu said with clasped fists.
"In this case, I won't keep Mr. Shangguan and Miss Chu. Don't worry, you two. As soon as you come back, I will definitely send someone to inform you two!" The Yamen Master said as he sent the two people out.
Outside the yamen, Yingqian and Shiwu had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw the two coming out, they quickly stepped forward and asked: "Miss, Boss Shangguan, has the matter been resolved?"
Chu Yiqing shook his head. It was not convenient to say some things here, so he took Yingqian and Shishi to Longxing Inn.
Longxing Inn is Shangguan Yu's property, and Liu Er has already prepared several guest rooms.
As soon as he arrived at the inn, Hanwu came quickly and whispered something into Shangguanyu's ear. Shangguanyu's expression changed and he left without even entering the door of Longxing Inn.
Chu Yiqing took Yingqian and Shishi into the inn and ate something casually. The sky gradually became dark. No one from the Yamen came to notify them yet, so Chu Yiqing asked Shishi to ask again.
"Miss, the master still said that the master has not come back!" Fifteen came back quickly and said anxiously, wiping the sweat on his face.
"Miss, from what I see, Xiong Yun must be doing something behind his back. The worst thing now is that Boss Shangguan doesn't know what he is busy with. Shan Xiong and the others have been imprisoned for two days. I don't know if they will.
What's going on! And the person was so injured that he didn't even know what the situation was like!" Ying Qian was a little anxious.
Chu Yiqing was very calm and ordered Shi Shi to go out and keep watch. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he put on his night clothes and quietly went out through the back door of Longxing Inn.
Outside the high wall of the county government office, Chu Yiqing rolled over and entered the back office. Following the route he secretly memorized during the day, he quickly found Xiong Yun's study. At this time, the lights were still on in the study, faintly
The sound of voices came out.
After looking around, Chu Yiqing turned over and hooked his feet on the beam. He hung his body upside down and pressed it against the window. Then he poked a small hole with his hand and looked inside.
In the study, Xiong Yun sat on the Taishi chair, with You Tiao sitting in front of him. The two of them seemed to be waiting anxiously for something.
"You Tiao, why are you so slow? It's been a whole day!" Xiong Yun said anxiously, "If my prediction is right, Shangguan Yu and Chu Yiqing will come tomorrow. If those people are still alive, then our affairs
It’s been exposed!”
You Tiao was also anxious, "Brother-in-law, it was you who told me not to let them see the flaw, so naturally I should be slower. Don't worry, I have already caught hundreds of rats and put them in the prison. Those rats are all hungry."
One day later, people smeared leftover rice on more than a dozen of them. It would be strange if the rats didn’t bite them to death!"
When Chu Yiqing heard this, his eyes turned cold. He didn't expect that Xiong Yun was so vicious and wanted to kill people and silence them. In this case, she didn't have to come openly!
Taking out a shining knife from his waist, Chu Yiqing swung it in through the small hole he had poked earlier. With a scream from inside, Chu Yiqing had broken through the window and entered with another one in his hand.
A dagger was already pointed at Xiong Yun's neck.
You Tiao's other good hand was pinned to the back of the chair and he couldn't move. He screamed in pain, but when Chu Yiqing broke through the window and entered, he was too frightened to speak.
"Hero, spare your life! Hero, please spare your life!" Xiong Yun shouted while sliding his body under the chair.
He took out a sweat towel from his arms and stuffed their mouths. Chu Yiqing tied the two of them to the chair with white silk. He looked around, walked straight to the desk and searched for it. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
Since Xiong Yun secretly escorted goods and did business, he must have an account book. Since the important things he discussed with You Tiao were in the study room, the account book must be in the study room.
Xiong Yun turned pale with fright when he saw the man in black searching for him in front of the desk. When Chu Yiqing saw his expression, he knew that his guess was correct, so he searched carefully from the beginning again and finally found it under the desk.
He found a secret compartment and opened it to find a ledger. After opening the ledger and briefly scanning it twice, Chu Yiqing knew that this was what he needed. He immediately shook the ledger in front of Xiong Yun and then pulled his face.
The scarf on the man smiled faintly, turned around, and flew out of the study.
When the official arrived, Xiong Yun and You Tiao were so frightened that they could not speak. They just stared at the wide open window and gasped.
Chu Yiqing returned to the inn, changed his clothes and went to sleep. After sleeping until the next morning, Yingqian knocked on the door and came in. She said happily: "Miss, Shan Xiong and the others are back, and they are having breakfast downstairs now!"
Chu Yiqing calmly stood up and went to the dressing table, picked up a comb, gently combed her black hair and said with a smile, "Really? Are they the only ones?"
Yingqian smiled and said: "Miss, you are really good at predicting things. There is also Master Xiong, who has been waiting below with Shan Xiong and the others early in the morning. Master Xiong has dark circles under his eyes and seems to have not slept all night!"
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly: "Of course he can't sleep well. How can someone who has done something wrong sleep well?"
Although Yingqian didn't know what Chu Yiqing meant, she also knew that Chu Yiqing went out last night and slept peacefully until dawn after coming back. It seemed that the matter had been resolved.
"Yingqian, help me comb my hair and change my clothes. Don't let Master Xiong wait too long!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
"Yes, Miss!" Yingqian hurriedly stepped forward to work.
Xiong Yun raised his eyes and looked at the woman's beautiful and cold face. When he thought of the shocking scene last night, his whole body shivered with fear. If it was before, Chu Yiqing was just a prisoner exiled to Chu Han, he would have sent someone long ago.
If we come to arrest her, we will definitely not let the account books leak out. But now that Chu Yiqing is deeply favored by the emperor and has resumed his status as the eldest lady of the Chu mansion, how can he dare to touch Chu with just a small seventh-grade sesame official?
Clear!
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly: "Master Xiong, what, is your brother-in-law's injury healed? Why do you have time to visit in person today?"
Xiong Yun quickly smiled and said: "Miss Chu, let's not talk secretly. I have let your people go, and the account book..."
"Ledger? What ledger?" Chu Yiqing deliberately pretended to be surprised, his eyes widened, and motioned for Yingqian to serve tea.
Yingqian quickly served a cup of tea respectfully.
When Xiong Yun heard that Chu Yiqing did not admit it, he immediately said with a serious face: "Miss Chu, I have done what you want me to do, so you should also return the account book to Zhao intact. Don't worry, I will handle your affairs in the future."
I won’t interfere again!”
Chu Yiqing sipped the tea lightly and said with a smile: "Since Master Xiong has promised, let this matter go. I just can't give you the account book. If Master Xiong goes back on his promise in the future, I can also have someone take the account book to warn Master Xiong."
one time!"
When Xiong Yun heard this, his face turned pale. He wanted to have an attack but couldn't. He just whispered: "Miss Chu, do you have any other instructions?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "As for the last time Tong Sheng bribed test questions and cheated, I think it would be better for Mr. Xiong to find out more, so as not to unjustly accuse a good person!"
Xiong Yun's face was already pale. Someone had indeed taken care of him last time. At first, he pretended to have received the news and imprisoned a group of children, and then took the opportunity to make money. If he was rich and powerful, he would be a convenient person.
Favors freed people who had no money or power, so he took the opportunity to cancel the exam qualifications. In this way, many people were not qualified, and his son had a greater chance of being admitted to the high school! When Chu Yiqing said this, he
Knowing that his matter was exposed, he nodded quickly and said: "The official will definitely investigate thoroughly. Please rest assured, Miss Chu. I just don't know if Miss Chu has any special care?"
Chu Yiqing sneered: "No, but remember, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. If I know that you have wronged a good person, Master Xiong, this account book will be sent to the capital in five days. Do you believe it?"
Now that Chu Yiqing is making a fortune, Xiong Yun naturally believes it and quickly nods in response: "Don't worry, Miss Chu, I will never wrong anyone!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said with a smile: "Then I won't give it to Master Xiong. From now on, my brother will still need Master Xiong to take care of him in this area!"
Xiong Yun couldn't express his pain, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything more, so he retreated dejectedly.
After closing the door, Ying Qian said happily: "Miss, you are really majestic this time. You solved the problem in one go and made Xiong Yun available to us!"
Chu Yiqing smiled helplessly: "I originally wanted to be an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that I would have to use such methods in the end! Okay, follow me down to see Shan Xiong and the others!"
Yingqian nodded quickly and followed Chu Yiqing downstairs.
In the lobby of the inn, Shan Xiong and a dozen other people were all disheveled, with a stench emitting from their bodies, and they were desperately grabbing food. Although the innkeeper disliked it, he dared not speak out because of Shangguan Yu's order.
Chu Yiqing stood on the stairs and looked at the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but frown. He gave Yingqian ten taels of silver and whispered: "Go and change clothes for each of them, take a bath, and then go
Meet me upstairs!"
Yingqian responded quickly.
An hour later, Shan Xiong and his dozen brothers stood neatly outside Chu Yiqing's door.
As soon as Yingqian opened the door, Shan Xiong quickly took the lead and knelt down: "Young ladies will never forget Miss Chu's life-saving grace. This time, you guys did something wrong and caused Miss Chu trouble!"
Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows coldly and asked Shan Xiong to come in. Shan Xiong quickly entered.
"Shan Xiong, I have told you before that your hot-tempered and impulsive personality will definitely cause trouble. How about it, do you believe it now?" Chu Yiqing said coldly.
Shan Xiong knew that he was wrong, but he just lowered his face and did not dare to refute.
"Okay, now that we are out, brothers, if you are injured, please ask the doctor for treatment quickly. Here are fifty taels of silver, just use it as your brothers' medical expenses!" After Chu Yiqing finished speaking, Yingqian immediately brought one over.
There are five silver ingots worth ten taels in the tray.
"Miss Chu, little one..." Shan Xiong looked at the money and lowered his eyes in shame.
"Okay, get up. I just hope you will pay more attention in the future!" After Chu Yiqing finished speaking, he looked at Yingqian. Yingqian nodded and coughed slightly, and saw Liu Fu coming out of the room next door and also entering.
I went to see Chu Yiqing.
"Shan Xiong, this is Liu Fu. He used to be a green forest hero, brave and resourceful. You should learn more from him in the future!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
Shan Xiong was stunned and understood that his position as the leader was about to be given up to someone else. In the past, he would have been dissatisfied, but now he made mistakes again and again, and Chu Yiqing saved him several times, and he immediately
He could only be convinced, and quickly turned around to greet Liu Fu, "Brother Liu, my younger brother Shan Xiong is so polite!"
Liu Fu quickly clasped his fists and returned the gift: "Brother Shan, you are so polite. From now on we will be brothers. Everything will be discussed and discussed. Brothers will work together for Miss Chu!"
Shan Xiong nodded quickly.
When Chu Yiqing saw that Shan Xiong didn't have too many complaints, he immediately felt relieved, and after giving them a few more words, he let them go back, and those who were injured could recuperate, while those who were not injured could continue to protect Chu Han.
Xiong Yun's face turned blue after he came out of the inn. As soon as he went out, You Tiao greeted him, "Brother-in-law, how are you? Are the account books coming back?"
Xiong Yun shook his head and whispered: "I'm afraid this matter is troublesome. Chu Yiqing deliberately let us know that it was her, just to use the account book to blackmail us into doing things for her! Now she wants to ask me to reiterate the case of Tong Sheng buying test questions.
It seems that this time there will be more misfortune!"
Upon hearing this, You Tiao quickly said: "What should we do? Brother-in-law, are we going to have to be controlled by her in the future?"
"Her father is the King of Chu, and now he is favored by the emperor. And most importantly, she has a close relationship with the fifth prince. You just came from the capital. Didn't you also say that the capital is going to change and the prince will be replaced? We still have
How dare you offend her? All you can do now is do things for her, and maybe in the future, for the sake of our loyalty, you can give us some benefits!" Xiong Yun became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and hurriedly pulled You Tiao into the car and left.
In the afternoon, Shangguan Yu came back. When he heard that the matter was resolved, he was a little surprised. He hurried to find Chu Yiqing. After hearing Chu Yiqing explain the cause and effect, he nodded: "It's time for you to win over some of your own people.
, the capital city is about to change!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yiqing asked: "You didn't come back all night yesterday, but what happened?"
Shangguan Yu nodded and whispered: "There is news from the capital. Some people are secretly rumoring that the fifth prince is not the emperor's biological child. Someone did something during the blood test back then, and now that person has been caught!"
