The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2270

[Chapter 2270 Yuxi Fanwai (19)]

As I get older, I not only sleep lightly, but also cannot sleep for long. Oak-hee only slept for half an hour before waking up.

After waking up, Yuxi asked Bingmei, “What’s going on outside now?”

Bingmei said, “Your Highness has arrested both the magistrate and the magistrate, and some of the scribes involved in the case and Jukuai have also been arrested.” Most of the officials in Gucheng County were arrested.

In the evening, the two brothers Qixuan Qiyou came back. Seeing the tired faces of the two of them, Oak Xi said, “The water has been prepared, you go and take a bath.”

The two nodded.

When he came out, he looked at a table of delicious dishes, and Qiyou’s exhaustion was swept away: “Mother, you actually asked the master to make braised pork and lion’s head?” He eats too greasy food. So this time, it was a real surprise.

Yuxi smiled and said, “I will reward you.” Qiyou moved in with them, and the food was relatively bland. There is a lot of resentment about this. I can’t stand it anymore, so I ran out of the palace to beat the teeth,

This dinner, Qiyou ate happily.

After eating, Qi Xuan said in front of Qi You, “Adi, I won’t go to the yamen tomorrow!” Helping Qi You handle things today made him exhausted.

Qiyou was not happy anymore: “Third brother, are you embarrassed to watch me suffer alone?” As I get older, my energy is not as good as before. I’ve only been busy for a long time today, and I feel tired.

“It’s hard work for those who can!”

Yuxi smiled and said, “Ahao will send someone down to take over the matter when he receives the letter. These days, both of you brothers are a little tired.”

The old lady has spoken, and Qi Xuan will not dare to shirk if he is not happy.

Oak-hee asked, “Has Dai Qisheng confessed?”

“This guy is so daring, he even bargained with me, saying that unless I promise to save his youngest son’s life, he won’t say a word.” After speaking, Qiyou shook his head and said, “But say When you get up, your bones are really hard. No matter how you use the torture, you just won’t let go.”

Yuxi said lightly, “If you want to keep incense for yourself, why don’t you know how to accumulate merit for yourself!”

Qiyou sneered and said, “He thought I would agree to this, but he thinks it’s beautiful.” Dai Qi was the first to dare to threaten him.

Dai Qisheng’s hard bones did not mean that other people were the same as him. The county magistrate and his minions couldn’t stand the torture, so they all confessed. According to the confession of Dai Qisheng’s henchmen, Qiyou found the account book hidden by Dai Yanwang. This ledger records what gifts were given to which officials over the years.

Qiyou said: “Mother, this county magistrate doesn’t care about business, but he spends a lot of silver taels. Dai Qisheng pays the expenses for his annual trips and holding poetry festivals. After a year, he will get at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver. As for the county magistrate , and he will also get three or four thousand silver from him every year.” The Dianshi forces have captured the heads of these, and everyone has taken advantage. It can be said that the Gucheng county and county government basically participated in the distribution of the spoils.

“Where are the officials from the prefect of Xiangyang and the prefecture?”

Qiyou sneered and said, “The prefect of Xiangyang and the prefecture have both received his filial piety.” Because of this, Dai Qisheng was able to do whatever he wanted in Gucheng County.

Yu Xi thought a little deeper: “I’m afraid not only Gucheng County, but also the government offices in other places are rotten. Qiyou, tomorrow you will bring Zhang Zhentao to Xiangyang, and control the prefect of Xiangyang, Zhizhou and others.”

Qiyou naturally had no objection, just asked: “Mother, who will handle the matter here when I go to Xiangyang?”

“Let Qixuan handle it!”

Ah, Qi Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Mother, I can’t handle it.” He had been idle for so many years and was not familiar with the affairs of the officialdom. Let him take care of things, it will be bad if something goes wrong.

Yuxi said: “It’s just some daily official duties, it’s not difficult. Don’t worry, you can tell me if you encounter a difficult choice.” Mother, there is no one else to use. Otherwise, there is no need for Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan said bravely: “Okay.” He couldn’t let the old lady work so hard for so many years, then he was really an unfilial son.

Xiangyang’s affairs should be sooner rather than later. Qiyou informed Qixuan of the few people he picked out who were unwilling to join forces with the county magistrate Dai Yan, saying that these people could be used. Then, he took Zhang Zhentao and three hundred soldiers to Xiangyang.

Qiyou’s letter arrived in the capital at the fastest speed, and got into Qihao’s hands.

“Crack…” Qi Hao slapped heavily on the Yushu case.

Hong Lang looked at Qi Hao with a pale face, and asked, “Imperial grandfather, what happened?”

“See for yourself!” After speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Hong Lang.

After reading the letter, Hong Lang’s expression was also very ugly: “Imperial grandfather, these people are too daring.” The officials guarded the common people and robbed the women of the common people, murdered them and set them on fire. If this letter hadn’t been written by Qiyou, he would have thought it was a fabrication!

Qi Hao said, “If it wasn’t for your grandmother, we wouldn’t know how many years we would be kept in the dark.”

He always felt that the world was well governed by him. Now the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As a result, reality gave him a slap in the face.

Hong Lang took the initiative to ask Ying: “Imperial grandfather, grandson wants to deal with Xiangyang’s affairs.” Not to mention that the great-grandmother is getting old, even the two uncles and grandfathers are not young, so they cannot be burdened.

Qihao nodded and said, “Then you rush to Xiangyang immediately.” Thinking of the situation in Xiangyang, Qihao ordered four officials to go to Xiangyang with him.

After Hong Lang set off, Qi Hao immediately summoned Zaifu Zhang Liguo and several ministers from the Ministry of Household to enter the palace. When such a big thing happened in Xiangyang, the officialdom must be cleaned up. The vacant positions must be filled.

Because the incident in Xiangyang was not deliberately concealed, it spread throughout the capital in less than three days. There are children in the family who are officials in Xiangyang, and they are a little flustered.

Over the years, Qi Hao has been gentler with age. Ordinary officials found out that corruption, as long as it is not serious, are basically dismissed and never hired, and will not be convicted. But Yuxi is different. You must know that when Yunqing and Yuxi were in power, they were dismissed from office for quarrels and quarrels. So at that time, the administration of officials was very clear.

When Xinyue heard that there was an accident in Xiangyang, she hurried back to Prince Kang’s mansion to find Zhou Shushen: “Mother concubine, do you know about Xiangyang?”

How could Zhou Shushen not know about such a big thing.

Xinyue hurriedly asked, “Mother, I remember that the eldest cousin was working in Xiangyang.” Although she and Zhou Min had learned and divorced, Zhou Mincai, the eldest cousin, was very kind to her. When she was a child, every time she came to Kang Wangfu, she would bring some gadgets for her to play with.

Zhou Shushen smiled and said, “Your eldest cousin was in Xiangyang when he was sent out, but he was transferred to Jinzhou five years ago.” The transfer to Jinzhou means Honglang.

Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good.” Xinyue didn’t want to be involved in such a nice person as his eldest cousin.

It is also because Zhou Min is not in Xiangyang that Zhou Shushen is so calm. If not, it’s time to get angry.

Seeing that Xinyue still cares about the people of the Zhou family, Zhou Shushen is very pleased: “You don’t have to worry, your eldest cousin has a pure temperament and will never do anything illegal to the common people.” Although Zhou Min’s ability is not outstanding, he is down-to-earth in his work. Therefore, Hong Lang has not hesitated to promote him over the years.

Zhou Shushen valued her family’s children and nephews, as long as they could serve well, Hong Lang wouldn’t mind reusing them.

After talking about Xiangyang, Zhou Shushen couldn’t help but talk about Xinyue’s life events: “Xinyue, what kind of family do you want to find again?” Xinyue is only twenty-four this year, so how could she not look for it at such a young age!

Xinyue said: “Mother, concubine, I won’t show filial piety until next year!” She planned to keep filial piety for twenty-seven months. Now, not a year has passed.

Zhou Shushen naturally also knew this principle: “Tell the mother-in-law first, and the mother-in-law also knows well.” After Xinyue and her departure, the market is still very good. After Yunqing was full for 100 days, someone came to Zhou Shushen to explore.

Xinyue was silent for a while and said, “Mother concubine, even if I remarry, I want to choose my own person.” Or, let Hong Lang help you choose. Anyway, just don’t choose Zhou Shushen. With Zhou Mincai ahead of her, she no longer believes in Zhou Shushen.

After hearing this, Zhou Shushen’s eyes turned red: “Xinyue, are you still complaining about your mother?”

Even if she remarries, Xinyue doesn’t want Zhou Shushen to interfere. So, seeing Zhou Shushen like this, she couldn’t bear it in her heart, but Xinyue still said: “Mother, Honglang didn’t agree with me marrying my second cousin back then, but you insisted on marrying me into the Zhou family.”

The reason for Hong Lang’s objection at the time was not only that the cousins and sisters were too close in blood, which might be disadvantageous for their children, but also that Zhou Min was a master of learning and being low-tempered and impetuous.

After a pause, Xinyue smiled wryly: “But it’s my fault. I didn’t have an opinion at the beginning.” At that time, she felt that Zhou Shushen was her own mother and would not harm her. But now I understand that the mother-in-law will not harm her, but she also has her own selfishness.

If Zhou Minxue is really talented, that’s fine, but this person is clearly a sleight of hand. After so many years of studying, I couldn’t even pass the exam. She is also stupid. I really believe that Zhou Min is talented but only has bad luck.

Zhou Shushen was a little disheartened: “I don’t care about your business in the future.”

In fact, saying these words made Xinyue feel uncomfortable. But she didn’t do it, Zhou Shushen still interfered in her affairs. She is no longer a three-year-old child, and she wants to make her own decisions.

On the way back, Xinyue lowered her head and thought about things. Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Xinyue opened the curtain and saw a group of people in front of her. In the faint, there was also the cry of a child.

Frowning her brows, Xinyue said, “Go and see what happened ahead?”

Soon, the entourage came back: “County Lord, a woman fainted on the street with her child in her arms. Everyone was watching, and no one dared to care.”

Xinyue heard the words and said, “Send it to the hospital!”

Soon after returning home, the entourage came back: “County Lord, the woman died before she was sent to the hospital. The little girl, the little one brought it back.”

Xinyue frowned and asked, “Do you know where this woman’s husband’s family is?”

The entourage shook his head: “She went without opening her eyes.”

Xinyue thought for a while and said, “Let the child be put in the house first, and let Mother Chen help take care of it for a few days. When her family finds it, let them take it back.”

“Master, what about this woman?”

Xinyue said: “Buy her a thin coffin and put it in Yizhuang first. When her family finds it, return it to her family.”

She didn’t sit still and let the people in the house find out the identity of this woman.

After two days, the big housekeeper told Xinyue that the woman came from Anhui. She brought her child to Beijing to join her family, but her relatives moved out two years ago. As for where to move, it’s unclear for the time being.

Xinyue asked, “What about her husband’s family?”

The big housekeeper said, “According to the shopkeeper she settled in, the woman’s husband died of illness. Her in-laws could not tolerate her, so she came to the capital to marry.”

“Send someone to bury that woman!”

The big housekeeper nodded, and then asked: “The county master, will this child stay in the mansion?”

Xinyue hesitated. She originally just wanted to do a good thing, but she never thought of raising this child.

Seeing this, the big housekeeper immediately said, “The county master, send this child to the Kindergarten!” The county master of his own family has to remarry when he is still young, so what’s the matter with raising a child in front of him. People without children want a son to pass on the incense. If you have children, whoever has enough to eat can adopt a little girl. Moreover, if the person who sent it is not good, it will actually cheat the child.

Xinyue thought about it for a while and felt that this idea was also a good idea: “Then you will send it to yourself.” The Kindergarten in Beijing is dedicated to adopting orphans and abandoned children. The environment there is good, and the children can eat and wear warmly.

After speaking, Xinyue shook her head and said, “Forget it, I’ll send it by myself!” It is better to have a beginning and an end in doing things.

Early the next morning, Xinyue sent the child to the Kindergarten. Talked to the manager for a long time and asked her to take good care of this child. Then, left a pile of food to go back.

Xinyue and the big housekeeper said, “From now on, I will buy some food to send to the Kindergarten every month.”

She thought that this was the end of the matter, but she didn’t want Chen Muqing, the wife of the Prince of You Wangfu, to come over in the afternoon.

Chen Muqing came here this time to discuss something with Xinyue.

Hearing Chen Muqing saying that she hoped she could manage the Kindergarten with her, Xinyue shook her head again and again: “No, sister-in-law, I can’t do it.”

Holding Xinyue’s hand, Chen Muqing said, “Xinyue, sister-in-law believes you can do it well.”

Xinyue still shook her head. With so many children in the Kindergarten, how could she manage it!

Chen Muqing said: “The girls’ school, the Kindergarten, and the girls’ almshouse are all the efforts of my great-grandmother. So since I took over from my mother, I have always taken care of my heart. It’s just that I have to take care of my two children, and I have to take care of the palace. I also need to take care of the sales of the Kindergarten. A few days ago, the imperial doctor said that my blood and qi are somewhat deficient, and I can no longer work hard and need to take good care of my body. After the body falls. So, I wanted to find someone to help me manage the Kindergarten together. That way, she doesn’t have to be so tired. But this candidate is not easy to find, not only has a high status, but also has love. Knowing that Xinyue Street rescued a mother and son, she came to the door.

Xinyue thought about Yuxi’s earnest teaching to her, and if she wanted to refuse, she couldn’t say it: “Sister-in-law, I’m afraid I can’t do it well.”

Seeing her loosen up, Chen Muqing said with a smile, “Xinyue, the affairs of the Kindergarten are just a bit cumbersome, not complicated. Besides, there’s me too!” She just asked Xinyue to help manage the Kindergarten together. It’s not like quitting.

Xinyue thought for a while and said, “Sister-in-law, let me think about it.” After all, this is not a trivial matter, and she did not dare to rashly agree. If it is not done well, it will be too embarrassing at that time.

Chen Muqing nodded and said, “I’ll wait for your news.”
