Shopkeeper Tang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his eye sockets were sunken, and he wiped his forehead with cold sweat, only to find that even his hair was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
How could such a thing happen... .
His heart was beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of his chest. It took him a long time to come to his senses. He sat down, holding his heart, and said in a daze, "Go! Prepare the car, I want to go to Wong Tai Sin Hutong!"
At this moment, Qi Yunxi, who had just returned from Tongzhou Villa, got off the carriage and heard the steward hurriedly come over to report: "Madam, the second master is here and is waiting for you in the study..."
Qi Yunxi exclaimed, then immediately frowned and said unhappily, "I waited for a few days at Tongzhou Wharf, but he actually followed the grain-carrying ship into Beijing without stopping!?"
The manager had no idea of this and just stood aside cautiously, smiling.
"Go and find Mr. Bai." Qi Yunxi lazily adjusted his cloak with the help of a maid, then turned around and was surrounded by servants to go to the backyard to change clothes.
There was a warm floor heater in the room. As soon as he entered the room, the coldness around him was swept away. Qi Yunxi was intoxicated by the heat, and even his eyebrows softened a little. He looked at the housekeeper's wife who was waiting in the room with a lukewarm look: "How is the Shen family?"
Before she left, the Shen family had been emptied and drained, and looked no different from a dying dog. The reason why she asked the question now was just because she was asking it casually.
The housekeeper's wife came up with a new hand warmer, and took a silver stick from the maid and brought it up together. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, who dares to neglect the things you have instructed? The Shen family has already returned home in a panic."
Knowing what she liked to hear, the housekeeper's wife also described it in detail: "It is said that on the day when the Shen family left, Miss Su didn't know yet. By the time she knew, they had already boarded the ship at Tongzhou Wharf. The whole family, big and small, sick and young, were gone. Only Mrs. Shen was the only woman to hold the scene. It was very miserable. Miss Su cried immediately at Tongzhou Wharf..."
cry
Thinking that the sharp-tongued and stubborn Su Yao would also have such a day, Qi Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and the frustration in his heart disappeared.
Young children are difficult to deal with because they don’t know fear.
However, young people will always pay the price for their arrogance. Look, isn't that day coming now
She smiled and raised her eyebrows, gathered her hair from the back of her neck, and had the maid comb her hair again before leading the people to the study.
Because she had finally made up for her previous anger, she was in a very good mood. When she entered the study, she smiled at Master Tong Er, who rarely did, "Second Uncle is here? I waited for you in Tongzhou for a while, but I didn't expect to miss you. How could it be such a coincidence?"
But Master Tong Er was not in such a good mood. When he saw her come in, his already purple face became even uglier. He said coldly, "Sister-in-law, you are joking. If I hadn't arrived in the capital so quickly, I wouldn't have known that you had caused such a big disaster!"
The smile on Qi Yunxi's face froze, and his face slowly sank: "What do you mean, Second Uncle?"
As she spoke, she walked into the door, sat down at her seat, and lazily drank a sip of tea: "Since your elder brother has entrusted me with all the affairs of the capital, it is because he trusts me. What's wrong? Is there something I haven't done?"
Master Tong Er's face was full of dark clouds, and his face suddenly darkened when he heard this: "Of course it was not done! Since you asked the Second Assistant to set a trap for the Emperor's eldest grandson, you should have put the rest of the things aside and kept a low profile! But you actually ordered Lei Yun to deal with a merchant, and now something big has happened!"
When Qi Yunxi heard about Lei Yun, his anger instantly subsided a lot. He was unable to react for a moment and turned his head to look at Mr. Bai, who lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.
She frowned and said, "Second Uncle, just say what you want to say. What happened to Lei Yun? What big deal could happen?"
It is a waste of talent for a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a third-rank official, to use him to deal with a merchant. What serious problem could possibly arise
She doesn't take it seriously.
"The reason I went straight to the capital was because I heard that the Ministry of Revenue was going to change people to prepare for the collection of grain for storage!" Master Tong Er was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "In previous years, Lei Yun has always been in charge of this matter!"
Although the Ministry of Revenue has left and right assistant ministers, Lei Yun has always been in charge of all the lucrative jobs because he has Lord Xu as his backer.
Naturally, he was the one who was in charge of collecting and checking the grain into storage. When he suddenly changed people, everyone knew that there was a problem.
Master Tong Er sneered, "As a result, I just entered the city and didn't have time to inquire about what happened. I just finished the delivery with the Ministry of Revenue, and then I heard that Lei Yun's mansion was surrounded and is now waiting for a search and seizure!"
Waiting for copying!
Qi Yunxi was a little bit unbelievable and immediately refuted: "It's impossible! Besides, how can the Shen family shake him?"
Even if Su Yao was behind this, it would be impossible to bring down the thundercloud so quickly.
She felt her heart pounding and she muttered to herself subconsciously: "Did Lei Yun do something else..."
But even so, it was troublesome. After all, Lei Yun was from the Ministry of Revenue. How much did he help them? If Lei Yun fell, many things would be ruined.
"No doubt about it!" Master Tong Er was furious. "I have already asked Lord Xu for the answer. Do you know why Lei Yun got into trouble? It was because his son went to Sanlihe with a group of young masters to have fun, and he actually took out a jade suit with gold threads!"
Gold thread jade burial suit
Qi Yunxi was knowledgeable and naturally knew what this golden jade burial suit was.
But even if this thing is precious, so what
In addition to emperors and generals, there are also many people with great connections who love this. They will use various means to collect it, or someone will present it to them. Is this worth using as a crime
Seeing that she was still a little confused, Master Tong Er simply made it clear: "Let sister-in-law know! This golden jade dress did not come from anywhere else, but from the former King Zhuang's treasury!"
Qi Yunxi was confused and felt dizzy for a moment. He raised his hand to signal Master Tong Er to be quiet, and then asked Mr. Bai: "What is going on?!"
Mr. Bai sighed slowly: "We still don't know what happened. We only know that Lei Yun secretly told Elder Xu that this thing was real and he got it from the Shen family."
It's about the Shen family... Qi Yunxi was stunned, and his chest started to ache sharply. Suddenly he realized something, and he gritted his teeth and uttered a name: "Su Yao?!"
