Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 29

"Master Dongfang's words are very true." Song Qingtong praised, his words just spoke to his heart.Beside him, Shangguan Lianyue said after careful consideration: "Although Li Palace is not the right way, but I have never done anything wrong with the people in Laiqiu. The arson this time is not at all like Xue Rulai's style."

Cheng Guan Gulu rolled his eyes and said: "It is said that he also practiced martial arts in the temple when he was a child, because he didn't like killing, so he used Buddhist beads as weapons, hence the name Xue Rulai." His tone could not conceal his admiration.

Song Qingtong was a little speechless, is he a fan of Xue Rulai?Does he have any sense of right and wrong?He also heard him say firmly: "This time the fire relief supplies were definitely not done by him!"

Leng Junxie stared angrily, "Whether he did it or not, this general will tear him to pieces!"

Cheng Guan shrinks his neck, he is so vicious!
Song Qingtong felt that it was a bit off topic. The most urgent thing now is not to discuss Xue Rulai, so he said: "All the materials transported to the neighboring counties have been burned. Other things are better. It is cold in the morning and evening, and most of the houses are damaged. Fortunately, we will pass by during the day. But there is no quilt to keep out the cold at night, so it is easy to catch wind and cold."

Ji Yunhe frowned and said: "Before, the quilts I collected were all in stock in the shops. Now there are no stocks in the shops everywhere. Not only that, but cotton is also in short supply now. You have to go to the Southern Dynasty to buy it. The round trip plus production Time, it won’t come down in half a month.”

Ji Yunhe's words hit Song Qingtong's head like a sap, and Song Qingtong's head was buzzing. Originally, she had planned for the worst and used the stolen money confiscated by Shangguan Lianyue to secretly purchase it. There is nowhere to buy money.

The dinner table was as quiet as dead, Song Qingtong used all her strength to keep herself from losing her composure, so now there was only one last way left, but, would they help her?Except for Leng Junxie and Dongfang Liang, she has no confidence at all about the others. At this time, she must not use the status of the emperor to order them. It is better to find out first, "I'm afraid it will be too late in half a month. What's your opinion?"

To Song Qingtong's surprise, Shangguan Lianyue was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I have a way, but..."

Song Qingtong's eyes were shining, and he secretly blessed what he said was what he thought in his heart, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shangguan Lianyue frowned: "I can raise some quilts for the emperor, but they are all old quilts left unused at home, if the emperor doesn't dislike it..."

Right on target!Seeing his embarrassment, Song Qingtong almost laughed. He thought that everyone was as obsessed with cleanliness as he was. Ordinary people would not be so particular about their lives. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it is new or old, as long as it can keep out the cold, Qing can How much did you raise?"

Shangguan Lianyue wanted to report [-] yuan, but seeing Song Qingtong's eyes burning like spring flowers, her pale face became bright and charming because of the surprise, her tongue trembled when she said the words, "[-] yuan." Braving the cold wind, I felt so regretful that I wanted to slap my mouth.

Song Qingtong was stunned. Originally, she thought it would be great if Shangguan Lianyue could raise [-], [-]!Did she hear correctly?His family doesn't run a chain hotel, does it?Otherwise, where can I get so many quilts?
Song Qingtong really guessed right, Shangguan Lianyue's family did run an inn, but he didn't open the inn to make money, mainly to collect valuable information. He was the leader of the Northern Qin Dynasty's martial arts alliance.

Inspired, Leng Junxie slapped the table and stood up: "Tong'er, let's go back to Beijing to raise funds together."

The corners of Song Qingtong's lips twitched a little. Judging by the way he folded his arms and rolled up his sleeves, he couldn't be trying to grab it, right?Thinking about it, he said, "We can't leave now. Don't let Xiangfu know about it. Are you sure that your subordinates will keep their mouths shut?" Once she leaves, rumors will spread here, so to be on the safe side, she will stay here for a few days.And if Chu Tianmo knew about it, he would definitely rush to deal with it for her, and it was never her style to ask others to clean up her own mess, so she didn't want him to know before this matter was resolved, and Chu Tianmo's connections Ji Guang, I don't know if there is any eyeliner for him in the army.

Although Leng Junxie has a fiery temper, he is not stupid at all. He immediately understood Song Qingtong's intentions, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Tonger, these thousand elite soldiers are my personal guards. I have sent an order to block the news. No one dares to disobey the order. At the same time, I will send people to detain the officials and court musicians who participated in the sacrifice to heaven, and bring them back together when they return to Beijing."

Only then did Song Qingtong feel relieved, and Dongfang Liang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister who was assassinated this time also made a mistake. I am willing to go back to Beijing to secretly raise some supplies." Out of Dongfang Liang's smooth and sophisticated personality, there will be no mistakes in entrusting this matter to him.

Ji Yunhe glanced at Song Qingtong with piercing eyes, and smiled handsomely: "Your Majesty, I also have a lot of unused quilts in my house, and I can collect some from relatives and friends' homes, and getting three to five thousand quilts will not be a problem."

Song Qingtong was very moved, "Then there will be Lao Yunhe. Besides, I will leave it to you to go to the Southern Dynasty to buy cotton, and the Yinliangzhen will order someone to send it to you."

Ji Yunhe's heart was beating violently, what did the empress call him?Yunhe!In this way, their relationship was one step closer, and he said firmly: "No, it is Yunhe's blessing to serve the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, the dinner table was unprecedentedly quiet, except for Song Qingtong and Cheng Guan, the men all understood Ji Yunhe's intentions.

Shui Jing was the last to speak. He went to collect the relatively scarce herbal medicines to treat diseases and typhoid fever, and Cheng Guan also asked to go with him.

Song Qingtong finally breathed a sigh of relief, it went smoothly unexpectedly, and said gratefully: "Everyone who has worked hard, I will reward you for your merits when you return to Beijing. I will give you three days to raise materials this time, no matter how much you raise. , bring them all back first.”

Shangguan Lianyue nodded: "Your Majesty, yesterday you asked me to draw up the decree, and I sent it to all states and counties early this morning. I ask the emperor to help you take care of Xin'an Mansion if you are not in these two days."

Song Qingtong nodded, he had all the county magistrates in Xin'an Mansion arrested by him, and the situation in other prefectures and counties was also the same. The successor has not yet been decided, and Shangguan Lianyue temporarily sent his cronies to watch over him.
