Chapter 550
Eldest brother dealt with Mr. Ding, and third master and seventh master also inquired a lot of information from the people who stayed in the city.

"Third brother, let's send a letter to eldest brother, and then go to the nearby counties and counties." Qi Ye said.After all, Kaifeng is the seat of the government office, and there is no contact with the common people who are farming.As for what happened to the grain last year, we still have to start with the following states and counties.

The third master nodded and said, "I think so too. I'll sort out what we've collected in the past two days in a while."

They negotiated the contact method when they were divided into two groups.So after the third master finished writing, he gave it to the elder brother according to the agreed method, and then left Kaifeng with the seventh master.

It was also because they left in time. When the people sent by Master Ding arrived at the inn, they had already left.The waiter at the inn described the two of them as ordinary merchants passing by, so they didn't attract much attention.

After the elder brother received the letters from the third master and the seventh master, he also knew what to do, so he continued to keep Mr. Ding steady.

In the capital, just after the crown prince returned to Yuqing Palace, a slave came to report that Suo Xiang was looking for him.

Suo'etu often went in and out of Yuqing Palace, the prince nodded and motioned for him to come in.

"The old minister has seen His Highness the Crown Prince." Suo'etu saluted.

"Second uncle doesn't need to be too polite here. Sit down and talk." The prince said.

Xiao Zhongzi served Suo'etu some tea, then retreated, and closed the study door smoothly.Suo'etu usually consults with the prince about matters.

"Prince, I'm afraid something is not good." Suo'etu said.

The crown prince frowned, he didn't like to hear bad news, especially at this juncture.

"Speak." His tone was a little impatient.

"I'm afraid the governor of Henan can't handle it anymore." Suo'etu said.

"What's the relationship with Gu?" The prince was puzzled.

"The prince forgot, last year's batch of grain?" Suo'etu reminded.

"What happened to the food?" The prince still didn't understand.

Suo'etu had no choice but to say clearly: "Last year's batch of grain was intercepted from Henan. It filled the shortfall in Shandong the year before last."

"That's not what you told Gu at the time!" The prince frowned and said, "At that time, you only said that you thought of a way! And it was safe!"

"I didn't expect that there would be a severe drought here this year! Besides, I didn't expect him to be so courageous that he would dare to conceal the disaster. He really chose the most stupid way!" Suo'etu also looked depressed.

Now that things are getting out of hand, if there is a letter asking for help, he can't justify it if he ignores it.After all, at that time, he had solved a big problem for him. If he didn't make a statement now, his subordinates wouldn't dare to do things with him in the future.

"Don't you know that it's the elder brother who is in Henan?" the prince said with a sullen face.

The two of them are the heir and the elder.Since I was a child, I have always had a competitive mind.If you are praised for writing today, I will be praised for endorsing tomorrow.You have made meritorious service on the battlefield today, and today I will be able to relieve Huang Ama's worries in the court today.Now if Big Brother knows that the governor of Henan belongs to him, can he let him go easily?It would be nice not to drag him out!

"The old minister knows. But in the end, he will always be taken to the capital for interrogation, and there is still room for manipulation." Suo'etu said.

"It will kill you even if you get involved in this matter! You still want to protect him?" the prince said.

"At least save your life," Suo'etu said.

"Just treat his family well," the prince said.

This is the decision not to guarantee.Suo'etu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is this too unreasonable?"

"Second Uncle, it seems that the older you are, the less decisive you are in handling things!" The prince glanced at Suo'etu.

It's not easy for Suo'etu to continue talking.Now this person's temper is getting bigger and bigger, not as easy to talk as when he was a child.

"The old minister knows what to do."

"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again next time!" The prince said: "You have also seen that now Huang Ama has reused Gu's younger brothers. The influence of the fourth and eighth brothers in the court is getting stronger day by day. Get up. The fourth younger brother seems to be following Gu now, who knows what will happen to his mind in the future? As for the eighth younger brother, he has a lot of thoughts since he was a child! If Gu is not careful in his actions, this Yuqing Palace should change its owner! "

"His Royal Highness is serious!" Suo'etu hurriedly said: "You are different to the Lord Long Live. The old minister can still see this. The weight of the former empress in the Lord Long Live is different from that of other women. Although His Royal Highness is now married and has children, there is no way to make up for the pain of not having her mother."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." The prince narrowed his eyes.Soon it will be his birthday, the anniversary of his mother's death.Every year at this time, Kangxi would go to the Kunning Palace alone, and he would accompany Kangxi to eat together.This year, too, he should make a difference.

"His Royal Highness is smart, so there is no need for the old minister to remind him." Suo'etu laughed.

Mr. Ding still doesn't know that he has become an abandoned child. While waiting anxiously for the news from Jingli, he is still thinking about how to fool the elder brother.The person sent out also responded, saying that there was no suspicious person in the city, so he was only half at ease.

However, when the third master and the seventh master appeared at the gate of the governor's mansion, Mrs. Ding was completely panicked.

"These days, it's difficult for Mr. Ding to treat you well." The elder brother looked at Mr. Ding with a smile on his face.

But Mr. Ding's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The third master sneered, and said, "Lord Ding is not easy! You can cause such a big incident by yourself, and it really keeps us brothers busy!"

Qi Ye sat aside and didn't speak, but the half-smile on his face made Master Ding even more flustered.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan doesn't quite understand what the masters are talking about." He forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.

"Master Ding doesn't understand, so follow us back to Beijing and talk about it! You don't need to wear the governor's official uniform for the time being!" said the elder brother.

Master Ding collapsed and fell to the ground.Thinking about the news he just received from the capital yesterday, he settled down a little.As long as life can be saved, if you don't do it as an official, you won't do it.After this incident, the life of the whole family will not be treated badly for the rest of their lives.

The capital quickly received a report from the elder brother.Kangxi naturally lost his temper again in court.The prince lowered his eyes and listened to him angrily, his expression didn't change a bit.As long as the boss didn't find out the connection between the disaster relief food in Shandong the year before and this incident, the death of a few people would be worth it.

At the end of the day, everyone who came out of the Qianqing Palace looked ugly.The storm from more than a year ago is still fresh in my memory, and now it is coming for the second time.

 Today's first update.The next update should be later.
