Chapter 272

At night, Prime Minister Rong drove away all outsiders who were guarding the spirit.

Also staying in the mourning hall was Rong Yi's grandmother, who was the Queen Mother's concubine Su Wei.

Retired grandfather, general admiral Rong Lian.

Eldest brother Rong Cheng is at the border, so he won't be able to make it in a while.

The second elder brother Rong Jue, who was in business with Rong Yi, also rushed back in the evening, and everyone couldn't accept the fact that Rong Yi was dead.

There was a dead silence in the mourning hall, and everyone's faces were listless.

Prime Minister Rong: "Mother, the emperor sent someone over during the day to bury Yi'er tonight."

Su Wei patted the table, "It's too much, didn't you promise to wait for Cheng'er to come back during the day before burying him?"

Rong Xian: "Cheng'er is already on his way back. The emperor said that Qin Tian has calculated it. Tonight is the best time. Disrespect means disobedience."

Su Wei: "Bullshit, the dog emperor is obviously worried that Yi'er's death will cause public anger."

Su Hua was right, but the Rong family had to follow suit.

After Li Jiaren returned to the palace, worried that rumors would spread, he decided to bury Rong Yi overnight.

After all, on the way back to the palace, he heard someone gossiping, saying that it was because he wanted to steal the wealth of the Rong family that he forced the third son Rong to commit suicide.

The people are the foundation of a country, and Li Jiaren didn't want people to point their noses at them and scold them.

The Rong family had no choice, after some discussion, the funeral was still on time at Zishi.

It was the time of the curfew in the imperial city, no music was allowed, no crying was allowed.

Rong Yi was buried quietly like this.

Li Jiaren, who said he was heartbroken, didn't take a look at it from the beginning to the end.

The prime minister's mansion was shrouded in sadness, Rong Xian was devastated and no longer went to court.

three days later.

The palace, the imperial study.

Li Jiaren looked at the kneeling man in black with scorching eyes, "How is it?"

"Returning to the emperor, my subordinates have dug up the grave. It is indeed the third son Rong. The weather is getting hotter, and the corpse has a rotten smell."

Li Jiaren squinted his eyes, he still felt that Rong Yi's death was too absurd.

Li Jiaren: "Have you settled the matter?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, your subordinates have already restored the tomb to its original state, and no one will find that the tomb has been dug up."

Li Jiaren: "That's good, step back."

In this way, he can rest assured that no matter how Rong Yi died, as long as it doesn't arouse public anger.

After the man in black retreated, Li Jiaren called Xing Jinsen again.

Xing Jinsen focused on his two panda eyes: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

In the middle of the night, people were not allowed to sleep.

Li Jiaren: "Get ready. The general's salary will be sent to the barracks tomorrow morning, and distributed. Be sure to ensure the supply of food and grass."

Xing Jinsen: "Yes."

At dawn the next day, Xing Jinsen took the silver he got from the Rong family and dozens of carts of gold, silver and jewels and set out on the road.

The 80 army set out for more than a month, and the progress was very slow, and it was divided into several directions.

Xing Jinsen had to distribute this batch of silver taels to the garrison camp in the next city of Qingyuan Town, and then transport them to various directions for military supplies.

For some reason, the closer he got to Qingyuan Town, the more disturbed Xing Jinsen felt.

Looking back at the long line, it wasn't just the property of the Rong family.

There are still more than half of the treasury's silver here.

Li Jiaren vowed to kill Luo Weiyi and others, and he still needed the prestige of 80 troops to suppress the rebel army.

Therefore, there must be no problems with this batch of silver taels, and there are as many as ten thousand guards escorting them.

"The Jialin Canyon is ahead. Everyone, be careful and be vigilant. If there is an accident with the military salary, none of us will survive."
