The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 66 Bad luck
Gao Chengying stayed up all night and wrote a memorial and presented it to the emperor.

The memorial describes Qin Ruizhi's journey from Puzhou to Kyoto in great detail.

From how Qin Ruizhi helped Zheng Pin defeat the powerful enemy, to how Qin Ruizhi escorted Zheng Pin back to Beijing, fought with the powerful enemy in Chongzhou Post House, and mentioned the light shuttle sword silently.

When the emperor read the memorial, Long Yan was furious and slapped the memorial on the table: "Gao Chengying, an old fox, dared to use a light shuttle sword to absolve himself of guilt."

Eunuch Hu, who was waiting beside him, stiffened almost unnoticeably. After a moment, he relaxed slightly, and his waist arched even more.

"That's all, I'm telling you to let the Qin family brother and sister go."

Eunuch Hu responded respectfully: "Yes."

The emperor added: "Those guards beat him with forty sticks and drove him out of the capital. Zheng Pin did not do his job well. He was charged with dereliction of duty and his official position was removed."

Eunuch Hu didn't understand and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, will this case not be investigated?"

"General Chai, do you have any documents to hand back to Kyoto today?"

The emperor avoided answering and instead asked about Chai Longyu, which made Eunuch Hu's heart tremble.

There is a money-making furnace hidden in a coin-making workshop as big as Xiangzhou. It is unknown how many years it has been hidden, how much money was built, and where the money went.

Such a large amount of money could be used to support King Xiang's rebellion, and it was enough to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If you think about it more seriously, it might subvert the imperial power.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he took the chaos in the middle palace as a warning and feared that the vassal kings and military generals would support themselves with troops, so he began to confiscate military power. Four of the five military talismans were collected, and the only one was in Zhenguan Yong, General Chai In the hands of Long Yu.

With the military talisman in hand, he immediately ordered the 30 troops in Beiting.

But it happened that the owner of the money making workshop, Tong Liting, was once a subordinate of Chai Longyu, and Chai Longyu was the father of Concubine Chai and the grandfather of the sixth prince, Prince Liang Xiao Pei.

With such inextricable connections, it is difficult for people to believe that General Chai has nothing to do with the Xiangzhou Money Casting Workshop.

Eunuch Hu's attitude became even more humble. He hurriedly pulled out Chai Longyu's memorial from a pile of memorials and handed it to the emperor with both hands: "General Chai's memorial arrived in Kyoto half a month ago. It is still a common topic of discussion."

"We are asking for military pay again." The emperor glanced hastily, closed the folder, and threw it aside. "It has just entered early summer, and we are busy asking for winter food and pay. 30 people are stationed in Beiting. There are so many mouths to eat. I Even if they build a few more coin-making furnaces, they won't be able to withstand their expenses. In my opinion, it is better to let him return to the capital and take my position, and I will guard the Beiting for him."

Eunuch Hu was frightened, his legs went weak, and he knelt down towards the emperor, shouting in fear: "Your Majesty."

This operation actually made the emperor laugh. He touched the beard on his chin and laughed loudly: "I was just telling a joke to scare you."

Eunuch Hu lay on the ground shivering.

The emperor suddenly suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "Get up and prepare a decree for me, and order Ban Wenguo to be the march supervisor and bring food and grass to inspect the Beiting for me. I want to see what I give him every year. Is there enough food and grass?”

"Yes."

Eunuch Hu stood up tremblingly, his heart still hanging, and his hands that were polishing the ink were trembling.

The emperor asked again: "Where has Prince Liang been recently?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that I was visiting Yongzhou and couldn't bear to leave."

Eunuch Hu shrank his head and answered.The emperor's face fell again, and there was a dark cloud on his head. Even just one look could make people freeze, "This treacherous son! He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. I asked him to go to the Taishi Museum to write books, but he dared to abandon his official position and run away. . Among the princes, he is the least worried, but because of the favor of the imperial concubine and General Chai, he dares to be confident. Send an order and order him to return to the capital immediately. If he dares to delay for a moment and a half, I will break his legs. "

At noon, Zheng's waterside pavilion.

Zheng Tongen was wearing a thin shirt, sitting in a waterside pavilion, holding a fishing rod, but there was no bait on the rod, it was just empty.

Zheng Pin sat aside, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, but he still didn't take it.

"Good medicine tastes bitter, so drink it morning and night."

Zheng Tongen looked at the fishing rod, grabbed some fish food and scattered it in the waterside pavilion.

Instantly, there was a rush of fish in the pond, so Zheng Tongen immediately put down the fishing rod. By chance, an unlucky fish bit the hook and caught one.

This fish hanging on the hook and struggling to get off is just like Zheng Pin at this moment.

Someone else was spreading bait to feed the fish, and he caught him by chance.The rebellion in Xiangzhou subsided, and there were so many officials, but he was asked to assist Yuan Qinian in the trial of Tongli Court.

Just bad luck.

"Dad, how will your Majesty handle this matter?" Zheng Pin was still worried. He had been uneasy since he returned home.

Zheng Tongen took off the fish from the hook and threw it into the waterside pavilion. Then he put down the hook and turned to look at his son, "Pin'er, dad asked you, do you have anything to say about the Xiangzhou Money Casting Workshop?" Has anyone else mentioned it?"

Zheng Pin was stunned when he heard this, and when he met his father's stern gaze, he felt guilty. In order to cover up his gaffe, Zheng Pin raised his head and drank the medicine he had been holding for a long time, and took another mouthful of candied fruit to suppress the pain in his mouth.

"Dad, I swear on the name of the ancestors of the Zheng family that I will never mention this matter to a third person. Among the Qin brothers and sisters, Qin Qingyue is a gambler, addicted to gambling, and owes Yang Mengzhang a large sum of money. Naturally, I don't dare to let him know about it. Qin Ruizhi once sacrificed his life to save me. My father taught me to repay the kindness. I didn't mention repaying the kindness of saving my life, and I didn't dare to drag her into danger. "

Zheng Pin said swornly, of course he didn't say that Qin Ruizhi would be out of his control when he saw it.

In Chongzhou Post House, Qin Ruizhi picked up the gauze from the wound with a sword and fell into the fire together with Tong Liting's confession. Maybe she didn't know that Tong Liting's confession was wrapped in the gauze.

"You haven't mentioned it to anyone else. The assassins who were chasing you all died in Chongzhou Post House. Since there is no evidence of their deaths, there is no way to investigate. In my opinion, the most you can charge with dereliction of duty is nothing more than a two or three-year prison sentence." Year."

Zheng Pin's face turned green, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably: "Dad, do you mean I want to go to jail?"

"It's better to go to jail than to lose your life. You will gain wisdom after every experience, and don't act recklessly in the future."

Zheng Tong'en hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel. There were so many officials in Xiangzhou, and others stayed far away. He was the only one who had a reckless young temper and dared to rush forward.

Being chased by assassins along the way, it would be great if he could return to Kyoto alive and be charged with dereliction of duty and save his life.

As soon as he finished scolding his son, he couldn't bear his sadness and comforted him: "What's more, no one in Kyoto dares to treat you harshly. As long as your father is here, no one dares to bully you. You can rest in peace and recover, and wait for the news. "

While he was talking, the steward came to report: "The imperial edict has arrived."
