Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 441 Rumors

After seeing off the old doctor, Yelunan stood at the door of the inn, lost his mind for a while, summoned his relatives, and sent him to deliver letters to the palace and the Qi residence.

According to past experience, after receiving the news, the Qi family couple who are eager to love their son will definitely come to the inn to check on their precious son's situation.As for his good Uncle Wang, Yelunan couldn't help but sneer. Being suspicious by nature, when he heard that Ah Feng was ill, his first reaction should be that Ah Feng was pretending. After all, he had just complained to him. It's too coincidental that he can't afford to get sick on his hind legs. It's too much of a trick. It's probably a person who has doubts in his heart, not to mention that Uncle Wang himself is a very suspicious person.

Feeling a little cold, Yelunan pushed open the door of the inn, walked in, and stood in front of the charcoal basin to warm up.In his opinion, Uncle Wang will definitely inquire about the situation carefully, not only will he ask his guards, but he will also call the old doctor who came to the palace just now, and maybe even send a personal servant over to call him the detective. The disease is actually an investigation.If it is really sick, then it is good, if it is pretending to be sick... I am afraid it will inevitably be reprimanded.

Thinking of this, the sneer on Yelunan's face deepened, and his heart was even colder. Those people with a cold nature, once they climbed to that position and held the supreme power in their hands, those closest relatives and loved ones would not let go. In my heart, only calculations are left.

Feeling warm from the heat, Yelunan was about to go back to guard Qi Zhifeng, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the shopkeeper with a worried face.

"Master, the situation of the young master..."

"It's nothing serious, it's just that he ate too much cold food and froze. In addition, he caught some wind and cold along the way, and he broke out all of a sudden. It's just that the illness is fierce and looks serious. Don't worry too much." Yelunan patted him on the shoulder, "I guess it won't be long before Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi come back, there is no need to report, just take them there."

"Okay, sir!" The shopkeeper took two quick steps and followed Yelunan's footsteps, "I haven't eaten anything all day? My subordinate asked the dining room to prepare some warm food, so I can take a bite anyway. Also, it's dinner time at night." Don't you want to stay here? Do you need to prepare a separate room?"

"Hmm..." Yelunan thought for a while, "There is no need to prepare a separate room. Isn't there a soft couch in Afeng's room? I can just sleep there, just prepare a few more quilts. And... food Ask them to prepare more things, just keep it simple, cook more noodle soup, put more meat, put more vegetables, and distribute them to the brothers. They have been busy until this point, and they are still hungry. There is also soup Put more ginger, it's too cold today, if you're not careful, you might get sick."

"Okay, I got it, I'll go and order now." The shopkeeper nodded, walked Yelunan to the door, saluted, turned and left.

Seeing the shopkeeper leave, Yelunan gently opened the door, and when he walked in, he saw that Mei Zhu had taken over Shen Cha's work, and then changed Qi Zhifeng's veil.Seeing him coming in, Wei Wei bowed her body.

"The old doctor is gone?" Jin Jing poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Yelunan, "Is this child not usually sick?"

"It is indeed relatively rare, especially in the past two years. Basically, it has not been so serious." Yelunan took a sip from the cup, walked to the edge of the bed, bent slightly, and reached out to touch his forehead. "It's still very hot." Yes, even the exhaled breath is hot!"

"Don't worry, it's not a good thing if you don't get sick very much. This time, if you have a complete burn, all the bad things accumulated in your body will burst out, which is very good for him."

"The general is right. The old doctor told me the same, so I don't have to worry about it. And..." Yelunan pulled a stool and sat next to Jin Jing, "I have already sent someone to the palace and the Qi mansion to deliver the letter. I guess It won't be long before someone should come."

"Young Master Qi is going to stay here for a few days. Master Qi and Mrs. Qi care about their son, and they will definitely come back to visit." Jin Jing stretched her waist, "Otherwise... let's all sit in the lobby. Plum and bamboo are just fine, if something happens, they can tell us in time."

"Okay!" Shen Cha stood up, "It's useless if so many of us stay here. There are too many people in the room, and it's not good for him."

Yelunan agreed with the two people, expressed his thanks to Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and left the room with Shen Cha and Jin Jing to the lobby.

Picking a table sheltered from the wind, the shopkeeper served them hot tea and several plates of dim sum for Yelunan to fill his belly. The chef was cooking noodles and it would take a while before they could be served.

"Actually, when the rumor first appeared, we had already started investigating." Yelunan took a piece of pastry and took a bite. "Although I'm very busy, this matter is bigger and we can't ignore it."

"Look at you, have you been found out?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "Who is so courageous to spread such words?"

"It came from the prison."

"In the prison?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other and shook their heads, "Is...impossible? How could there be such rumors in the prison? Even if it is possible, it won't spread outside! Ah Feng My younger brother told us that now not only the mansions of important ministers, but ordinary people are discussing this matter."

"It's like this. When the previous king died of illness and the new king succeeds, they all need amnesty. We do the same with Xia Guo. We will release some annoying people whose crimes are not particularly serious, such as petty theft and street fights. And so on, it will be dealt with according to the situation when the case is closed and their situation in the prison. Of course, they are not released for nothing, and they always have to pay a certain price. Usually, each prisoner is Those who want to hit thirty boards can do it if they don’t want to be beaten, and pay a certain fine. The amount of the fine depends on their own situation. The less is about one hundred taels of silver, and the more is no more than three thousand taels. "

"So, this rumor came from the mouths of those prisoners who were released?" Jin Jing shook her head, "They just came out, they are not good-natured, not careful, how could they dare to spread such gossip that will lose their heads? Do not die?"

"The military division doesn't know that the first batch of those who come out are those sons and sisters whose families don't lack this kind of fine. Even if they live in prison for three to five years, they will not restrain themselves. They still do their own way and say whatever they want. .They admit it themselves, and they are the ones who said those words."

"They admitted it?" Jin Jing chuckled, "These dudes never expected that they would be arrested by Mr. Nan again just a few days after they were released from prison."

"No, there is no need for torture at all, just a little scare, and they will all be recruited. They don't think there is anything wrong with them. When they are in prison, because their lives are so boring, they chat with each other when they have nothing to do. People outside, things outside."

"It's quite possible. When they are in prison, no matter what they say, they won't spread it out, but once they come out..." Jin Jing sneered, "If there is no gatekeeper in their mouth, let them It’s causing trouble. So, no one is behind the scenes? I don’t think so.”

"I think so too." Yelunan nodded, watched the shopkeeper come over with a large tray, shook his head slightly at the two people, waited for the shopkeeper to arrange his noodle soup and clear side dishes, and then continued to speak , "But it is not appropriate to go to war now, it is better to investigate quietly."

"However, it is expected that such rumors will appear." Shen Cha said in a low voice, "Mr. Lan has not been registered for a day, and such rumors will not disappear. This time, it will not disappear in a few days. It will come out, and it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause." He looked at Yelunan who was eating noodles while snoring, "Looking from the sidelines, that person didn't mean that."

"No, I don't know if I forgot it, or I really didn't, anyway..." Yelunan shrugged, picked up a piece of mutton in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, "He will not take the initiative to mention this matter, we I won't say it, so as not to arouse suspicion. Therefore, the general suggested that he go to the army for training, which is the best policy."

"How is Wanyanxi? Has he...had he asked to see the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Since the mission came, I lighted requiem incense for him every day, making him feel groggy, and he has no energy to do other things." Yelunan ate a large bowl of noodles. Jing, "I went to see him last night and slept very soundly."

"That's good. Requiem incense doesn't have any bad effects on people. A slightly larger dose is fine. These people told him to calm down and not come out to make trouble. As for the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, Mr. Nan doesn't have to feel troublesome." , as far as we are concerned, is a good excuse."

"Oh?" Yelunan's eyes lit up, "General Shen means..."

"A very good excuse to send troops, automatically delivered to the door by the Jinren."

　It's snowing again, and it's cold!

　　PS Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
