Seeing an old father who blamed himself so sadly in front of His Majesty, Qi Yunxiao, like many officials, showed unbearable expressions.
Then, like the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he looked at Hou Xucheng, the Minister of Civil Service, with disdain.
What can Hou Xucheng do?
He can only kneel down and cry out for injustice!
The new emperor's eyes flashed across Qi Yunxiao's face, and then he began to talk to Xini: "Let the Ministry of Punishment conduct an in-depth investigation and find Gao Aiqing's son within three days!"
Boy, the rest is up to you.
Qi Yunxiao received that look and lowered his head calmly.
After returning to Xinghua Hutong, Shen Qingyu asked about Qi Yunxiao's situation.
Qi Yunxiao explained in a low voice.
Shen Qingyu was a little worried: "Then what are you going to do?"
"I asked the dragon guards to investigate privately. Gao Yuanfeng was bullying women wantonly in the capital. He even killed married women and took away their husbands. It is not a pity for such a scum to die."
Seeing the indignation on Shen Qingyu's face, Qi Yunxiao patted her on the head: "Don't worry when I do my work. Just pretend you have never seen this person before."
"Okay."
Shen Qingyu really doesn’t care.
In the early morning of that day, Gao Yuanfeng, who had expired, was found in a secret room in a house owned by the Vice Minister's Mansion. There were signs of torture at the scene. Investigation showed that this was the first scene.
When he saw the corpse, Gao Shangshu fainted on the spot.
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao were originally going to leave the capital and go to Daxia to purchase the second batch of grain.
But the new emperor asked them to wait for two more days, lest people think that they had a guilty conscience and wanted to run away.
Just wait, wait.
But after waiting, Shen Qingyu realized that Qingpinghou had been paralyzed by a stroke for quite some time.
In today's Qingping Hou Mansion, nearly half of the servants have dispersed. Many courtyards are closed and locked. Only a few masters' courtyards still have people and doors left.
Because the Qingping Marquis Mansion was obviously in decline, no one wanted to play with a young man like Qi Yunheng who had no use value anymore.
He wanted to find someone else, but they resisted, so Mrs. Qingpinghou simply left him at home to take care of his father's illness.
Not to mention, in this way, the cost of communication has also been reduced, and the Qingping Hou Mansion has evened its balance of payments!
However, because of this, the Qingping Hou Mansion was completely ignored in the eyes of the wealthy families in the capital.
At this time, in the Qingpinghou Mansion, Mrs. Qingpinghou was wiping her tears at Qi Yunheng: "This ungrateful thing has been back in the capital for so long, and he didn't even bother to come back to take a look. He said he was severing ties, but after all, he was born to the Marquis!
Why are you so cold-hearted?!"
Qi Yunheng had a splitting headache: "Mom, please don't say this in front of my father. Otherwise, if my father gets angry again, our Marquis Mansion will have no income at all. You just point to the few remaining rooms in the house."
Live your life in the shop and on the farm!"
Mrs. Qingpinghou was choked and could not cry for a while.
Then Mrs. Qingpinghou muttered again: "Your Majesty, too, that evil beast has severed ties with our family. How come you, the heir apparent, refuse to issue an order to the death!"
Qi Yunheng almost jumped up: "Mom, do you know what you are talking about? Don't drag me with you if you want to die!"
Mrs. Qingpinghou almost fainted from anger: "I only think about you, why do you talk to me? I am your mother!"
Qi Yunheng sneered: "If I weren't your biological son, would I care whether you deceived the emperor or not? It has nothing to do with me if you kill everyone."
Mrs. Qingpinghou was completely choked and speechless.
Seeing her son being so "filial", Mrs. Qingping felt a little regretful: How could this son, who was so pampered by her, become like this?
……
Two days later, His Majesty issued an order to deprive Hou Xucheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, from his position as Minister of Civil Affairs and demote him to the county magistrate of a remote place. Suddenly, there were loud cries in the residence of Minister Hou, and the wife of the Minister, Liang, committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
As for whether Mrs. Liang really committed suicide, no one cares.
A niece of the Liang family was found in a ruined temple outside the city and was insulted to death.
The investigation results showed that Gao Yuanfeng did not want to help the tyrants, so he rejected the idea of people from the Liang family.
But the people in the Liang Mansion were worried that Gao Yuanfeng would tell the truth, so they imprisoned Gao Yuanfeng in a secret room in the house owned by the Vice Minister's Mansion, and eventually killed him and silenced him.
When the matter came to an end, the new emperor asked Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu to go to Daxia as envoys to purchase more food.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu took the order and left, leaving the turmoil in the capital behind.
In the prefectures affected by the disaster, the grain and oil shop under Zhao Yuzhu's name did not know where they got their grains. With their household registration books, the victims only needed ten cents per catty, and each household could buy up to ten kilograms of grains. p>
If you add wild vegetables to make porridge, these ten pounds of grains can last for several days!
As soon as the news was released, long queues formed in front of the grain and oil stores!
Naturally, the government also knew that this was a good thing, and sent clerks and clerks to help with statistical confirmation and maintain order.
These miscellaneous grains are naturally part of the piles in Shen Qingyu's spatial warehouse.
Shen Qingyu also gave the polished rice and white flour to the grain and oil shop under the name of Zhao Yuzhu.
In this way, in addition to leaving enough food for the people of Shenjia Village and Shenjiaxin Village, Shen Qingyu's space warehouse only has rice noodles containing spiritual energy grown in Space Lingtian.
This kind of rice and noodles were so good that Shen Qingyu felt bad for others to eat them, so he only ate them for his own family. Of course, he also left some for His Majesty the Emperor, telling him that this was the best rice and noodles purchased from Daxia... p>
After clearing the warehouse and taking enough gold from various grain and oil shops in the Weiguo Palace, Shen Qingyu set out lightly.
Go stock up!
The two people who were walking away had no idea that in the courtyard of Prince Cheng's Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, Prince Cheng, who was supposed to be in his fiefdom, was furious!
"Then Hou Xucheng is a waste! He can't control things in the back house well, wasting so many of my resources on training! What a waste!"
A man who looked like a manager stood quietly beside him, not daring to answer the question.
On the other side, a lazy voice sounded: "If you abolish him, wouldn't you get another minister of the Ministry of Etiquette? Calculating it this way, it's not a loss."
King Cheng's anger calmed down a little: "Huh! If Gao Rongxing hadn't insisted on it, he wouldn't have lost his position as Minister of Civil Affairs!"
"Then he doesn't know that the Minister of Civil Affairs is your person..."
"That's true. Tell me, what should we do next?" King Cheng's eyes fell on that person.
If Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao were here, they would definitely recognize them. Isn’t this Cheng Ping’s guy?
When did he get involved with King Cheng?
She seems to have become his confidant?!
When Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu returned to Tongxinfu City, the Double Ninth Festival had already passed. Seeing that it was getting colder day by day, Qi Yunxiao asked someone to buy some charcoal from Tongxinfu and put charcoal pots and other things in the car for later use. p>
Now that she's free, Shen Qingyu goes to see Yuqiao.
Yuqiao, who has a big belly, has gained a little weight, the skin on her face is rosy and tight, and she is full of smiles: "Cheng Ping is not at home, I don't know how comfortable I am alone!"
"You are so pregnant and he is not at home?"
"I heard that I was on an errand, but how could I understand?"
Yuqiao looked nonchalant as she ate the grapes Shen Qingyu gave her and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.
