Concubine

Chapter 223 Bank Theft Case

Yang Qiuchi immediately wrote a letter to Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue, telling her what happened during this period and her own thoughts, then called Xia Ping in, handed the letter to her, and ordered her to lead the six girls in the next morning. The guards went to Ningguo Mansion, together with the remaining four female guards, brought the old lady and wife to Wuchang. After they settled down, these ten female guards were left to protect the old lady and grandma in Wuchang. Come join Yang Qiuchi and the others.Xia Ping took the order and left.

After a busy night, it was already late at night, Mrs. Bai, Bai Sumei, mother and daughter took their little maid, Huier, and Yang Qiuchi to leave and go back to their room to rest.

Song Yuner knew that the three of them reunited after a long absence and had a lot to say, so she also went back to her room.Only Yang Qiuchi, Qin Zhihui, Song Qing, Yuechan and Hongling were left in the living room.

Yuechan turned out to be Qin Zhihui's personal maid. Qin Zhihui had already returned, and Yang Qiuchi asked Yuechan to follow Qin Zhihui.

The three of them talked for a while, after a day of driving and a busy night, they were all a little sleepy, Yang Qiuchi suggested to go to sleep, but Qin Zhihui and Song Qing didn't move, they just looked at Yang Qiuchi blushing.

The two of them had been away from Yang Qiuchi for so long, of course they both hoped to sleep by her husband's side tonight, but they were too embarrassed to say so.Of course Yang Qiuchi knew, thought for a while, and said: "Well, let's still follow the old rules, one cycle every five days, and the menstruation will be postponed. Okay?"

The second daughter nodded, and looked at Yang Qiuchi again, which of course meant asking what to do tonight.

The two daughters, Yang Qiuchi, loved each other very much, and immediately said: "Zhihui is the first door, let's go in order. Zhihui is the first, okay?"

When Yang Qiuchi gave this reason, Song Qing was a little disappointed, but she didn't have any objections. Who told her to come later, there must be someone who came first, first.Fortunately, five days passed quickly, and besides, I can still be with my husband during the day.She has a childish personality, so she nodded in agreement.

Yuechan was very happy, and rushed back to Qin Zhihui's residence in the inner house to prepare.

Yang Qiuchi took Qin Zhihui's hand and then came to the room.Yuechan had already prepared hot water in the big wooden barrel for bathing, Yang Qiuchi insisted on pulling Qin Zhihui to take the mandarin duck bath together.Qin Zhihui had a weak personality, so she obediently shyly.

As for how the two of them took the mandarin duck bath, and how they reunited with Yunyu in Wushan after a long absence, the details are classified as A-level top secret.

The next day, Qian Buzheng and others held a banquet at the Yellow Crane Tower to appease Yang Qiuchi. With the lessons learned from last time, this time the inspection was extremely strict, almost even the tiles on the Yellow Crane Tower were turned over for inspection. Once again, guards were set up on the inner, third and outer floors, and then the gong was sounded to clear the way and Yang Qiuchi was picked up in an official sedan chair.

Standing on the Yellow Crane Tower, Yang Qiuchi recalled the scene when Liu Ruobing kidnapped him, recalled Liu Ruobing's sad and lonely eyes, he couldn't help feeling sad, wondering where she went and when he would see her again.

Two days of trimming passed quickly.Yang Qiuchi didn't have time to wait for Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue to come to Wuchang, because they rushed to Wuchang from Ningguo Mansion in the capital, and they came and went, and Ningguo Mansion had to explain business with Song Qing's mother. After more than a month, he couldn't wait for so long, so after telling Minister Qian and others to take care of him on his behalf, he continued to set off for Yunnan.

It's just that the team that went to the post this time was much stronger than before. Not only did they have two more concubines, Qin Zhihui and Song Qing, but also a beautiful red silk girl, seven Liyuan girls, and the newly sent Ouchi guards. And Jin Yiwei guards.

Now Yang Qiuchi's guard team has a total of 70 people, including [-] male guards and [-] female guards.Yang Qiuchi left ten female guards in Wuchang Mansion to protect Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue, so a total of sixty guards went with him, including twenty female guards.These twenty female guards protected Qin Zhihui and Song Qing's two concubines respectively.

Before leaving Wuchang, Yang Qiuchi and Master Jin planned the itinerary together.

Originally, I went directly to Zhenyuan Prefecture via Changde Mansion in Huguang, and then went to Kunming. Without special affairs, you cannot leave the jurisdiction.Therefore, once he takes office, it will be inconvenient to go to Yunnan again.It is best to detour through Guangxi to Yunnan first, and then return to Yuanzhou, Huguang Town to take up the post after making arrangements for Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei.

Yang Qiuchi immediately agreed, and the team entered Guangxi via Yueyang Mansion, Changsha Mansion, and Hengzhou Mansion, then entered Yunnan through Guilin and Qingyuan, and arrived in Kunming.

On this journey, we traveled slowly, and after entering Yunnan, Xia Ping caught up with them and reported to Yang Qiuchi that the matter had been settled. Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue had received their new home in Wuchang Mansion, and everything had been arranged. appropriate.Only then did Yang Qiuchi feel relieved.

There was no words all the way, and the hard work finally arrived.

Kunming City is where the Chief Secretary of Yunnan is located, and it is relatively prosperous. Although it is not as good as Yingtian Mansion and Yangzhou, it is almost the same as Ningguo Mansion.

When entering the city gate, a team of officers and soldiers was found to be strictly checking out the city passers-by.Everyone entering the city will be allowed, but those leaving the city must be strictly checked, especially luggage, all of which must be opened and searched one by one. Obviously, something important must be missing.

Yang Qiuchi and the others entered the city without interrogation, so they entered the city very smoothly.

They found the Kunming station to stay. Yang Qiuchi asked Song Qing and Qin Zhihui to wait at the station with maidservants. Xia Ping led [-] female guards to protect them. Yang Qiuchi brought Song Yuner, Master Jin and Nan Gongxiong and other male guards with him. Carrying a generous gift prepared for Ti Xing's procurator, Mr. Kang, came to Ti Xing's yamen to pay homage to him, and sent in the letter of recommendation from Yin Tianfu's Gu Fu along with the prostration post, and rewarded the concierge with a tael of silver. .Seeing that Yang Qiuchi was generous, the concierge happily went in to report.

Not long after, the concierge ran out, politely led Yang Qiuchi and others into the gate, turned sideways to lead the way, and led Yang Qiuchi and the others to the living room to sit down.

Just as Yang Qiuchi and the others sat down, a few people came out from the back hall of the hall. The concierge introduced: "Master Yang, we have brought punishment and sent Mr. Kang out."

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Humble Yang Qiuchi, I pay my respects to Mr. Kang."

Kang Huai is an old man in his 60s and [-]s, with a red face, he said with a smile, "Your Majesty Yang, you don't need to be too polite." He raised the letter in Yang's hand, "In the letter, Mr. Gu respected you very much and praised you for solving cases like a god, young man You are promising. Gu Fu Yin is my same age and a young classmate, he can definitely recommend someone, since we are a family, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly!"

This Kang Huai seemed to be a man of temperament, very straightforward, and Yang Qiuchi was very happy.

After sitting down, he exchanged some pleasantries. Yang Qiuchi briefly introduced Song Yuner, Nan Gongxiong and Jin Shiye who were following behind him. Kang Huai greeted them to sit down too. Hearing that Song Yuner was Yang Qiuchi's younger sister, he was a little surprised .But seeing that Song Yuner looked at Yang Qiuchi very intimately, she already guessed seven or eight points in her heart.

Yang Qiuchi ordered Mr. Jin to present the gift. He already knew that the letter of recommendation was just a guide. What happened to the relationship? When the relationship is not yet familiar, money is the easiest way to get acquainted.

Sure enough, when Kang Huai saw this generous gift, although he refused with his mouth, his eyes lit up. After Yang Qiuchi expressed his respect sincerely, Kang Huai accepted it.

Yang Qiuchi felt a little strange, the light he saw in Kang Huai's eyes just now was not greed, but a desire to give charcoal in the face of need, but there was still worry between his brows.

The purpose of Yang Qiuchi's trip, Gu Fuyin, has already stated in the letter that Kang Huai reassured Yang Qiuchi that he would arrange the residence of Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter near Huguang, so that Yang Qiuchi could visit them from time to time.

The gift from Yang Qiuchi was very heavy, and what Tuo Kanghuai did was a piece of cake, just a piece of cake. Kanghuai was a little embarrassed, and before Yang Qiuchi offered to redeem, he offered to ask Yang Qiuchi to spend some money. The money was given to Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter to redeem them from hard labor.

Kang Huai also suggested that the place where Yang Qiuchi was an official was only a day's journey away from Mrs. Bai's residence, and that the place belonged to the confluence of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Huguang provinces, Yang Qiuchi could take her mother When the woman went to the office, she just had to settle the case at the end of the three-year period, and he could handle these matters. At the same time, it was decided to send a trusted prison officer and Yang Qiuchi to the prison to handle the redemption matters.

Yang Qiuchi was really overjoyed. Bai Sumei and Mrs. Bai could go to Qingxi County, Zhenyuan Prefecture with him instead of living in the exile. This was a good thing he couldn't even imagine.Can't help but keep expressing gratitude.

This is just a small matter for Kang Huai, but it is a big matter for Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi was grateful and remembered Kang Huai's eyes full of worries just now, so he asked: "Mr. What's wrong with it?"

Kang Huai sighed and shook his head: "I'm leaving in a few months, but, hey~!"

Master Jin interjected: "Is it possible that the money and food are unclear and difficult to deliver, my lord?"

Kang Huai looked at Master Jin, and praised Yang Qiuchi: "Master Yang has all capable people. Yes, seeing that the day of resignation is approaching, but something happened at this time, alas~!" Kang Huai sighed again After a long while, he continued: "Half a month ago, my yamen bank was stolen and a lot of money was lost. Although many methods were used to detect it, there was no result."

When the term of office of officials in the Ming Dynasty expired, the new and old officials had to go through handover. If the old officials had unclear accounts and were short of public funds, they would all be compensated.The theft of government treasury silver is not only considered a serious dereliction of duty, the official himself has to pay compensation before leaving office, otherwise he will be held accountable.
