What several people said was a burst of enthusiasm.
"Who in Heifengzhai wouldn't come to fight with us?" A stupefied young man stood up and asked.
Guan Dahu said with a smile, "Of course I won't tell them what we're going to do, just say that we'll steal a batch of court stones. Heifengzhai has also been in the business for many years, and naturally he's heard the name of the Qingtian Alliance, our Qingtian Alliance. What were you doing in the South?"
Liu Ban said: "Of course it's hard to get along with the dog emperor."
"Yes. That's why the group of reckless men in Heifengzhai also thinks that we just want to make it difficult for us to go up to this day, so we have to steal the stone that went up to repair the emperor's mausoleum to play prestige."
After all, stealing the stones for the construction of the imperial mausoleum was the biggest challenge to the imperial power.
Guan Dahu said: "They are all people from the rivers and lakes. Then, in the name of chivalry, I will give them more money. They did this for us by themselves, and they are afraid of being caught and beheaded. Naturally, they will not be stupid to themselves. Leaked out. Six of our brothers got the silver, just fly away, the world is so big, can the emperor still catch us?"
When several people heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little trendy. Since ancient times, they have sought wealth and risk, and they are only one step away from success. Now, as long as there is money to hire people from Heifengzhai, will it be possible to move things out
"Why don't we have another military attack?" Liu Ban made a gesture anxiously, his eyes stern.
Guan Dahu pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Let's think about it again."
The money they used when they went to the Lu family in Danzhou to buy officials was collected after the destruction of two big families. For this money, I don't know how much blood was on my hands.
Guan Dahu nodded, "There are still two big households here. Let's do the ritual first and then the soldiers. It's natural to get people who are willing to help us. If we can't get them, we can only use that method."
Liu Ban and the others nodded.
As Guan Dahu said, no one wants to kill unless it is a last resort. Murder is really not a good experience.
When Qin Yining and his party came to Huichuan County, it was the afternoon of the first day of May.
Although it had just arrived, the lead-grey cloud layer was pressing on the top of the head, and the wind was blowing, the car door was blown open, and fine raindrops went straight into the car.
"Princess, this is really... Fortunately, we are almost there."
"Yeah." Qin Yining's skirt was soaked by the rain.
"Halfway, the car started leaking water. The ten-day journey was even more torturous than when we went to Beijing." Bingtang hurriedly helped Qin Yining to cover the rain and couldn't help complaining.
Ji Yun smiled and said, "Okay, look at you, you have been nagging all the way, your mouth is pouting and you can hang an oil bottle. If the tiger sees it, won't he laugh at you?"
Bingtang's face flushed red, and she stabbed her neck and said, "Anyway, he's following the prince, but you, the big beauty has been drowned in soup, and the soup guard is watching the joke carefully."
"You, you bad girl!" Ji Yun also blushed with shame.
Qin Yining stroked his temples that were wet by the rain. Seeing the two girls blushing and joking with each other, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Tang Xiu, who was following closely outside the carriage, listened to the voices inside, and her face was so red that she was about to steam out a layer of white mist from the rain.
The group quickly crossed the road and introduced the city. Due to the short distance, they thought that they would be there soon, so they did not order people to take the lead. After everyone inquired, they went directly to the largest inn in the area and booked a side courtyard that no one had ever rented.
"Princess, the servant has already told the store to prepare hot water. Take a hot bath later. We have a small stove in our small yard to boil water. The servant will cook ginger soup later. Let's eat some." Candy Road.
Qin Yining nodded: "It's not too late to change into dry clothes first."
"Ai."
"Please prepare more. Mr. Xie is getting old, and the guards have been soaked in a lot of rain along the way. Everyone eats some."
"Understood." Bingtang nodded with a smile, and first helped Qin Yining change clothes with Ji Yun, and when Zi Yuan and Han Xiao returned after changing their clothes, they went out to clean up.
Qin Yining took the hot tea with a smile, and covered her hands with both hands. The May day was cold because of the rainy days.
Qin Yining walked to the window, propped up the lattice window and looked into the courtyard. In this yard with three main rooms and two wing rooms in a row, only the middle position is paved with a "cross"-shaped stone brick road, and the rest are dirt roads, which are now covered with mud.
Looking up, the weather was dark and dark, as if it would be pressed down at any time.
It has been raining for more than ten days from the capital to Huichuan County.
It is not known how many places were affected by the heavy rain. Qin Yining thought about going back to Xun Di Bao to have a look.
After the day was settled, Qin Yining asked Bingtang to check Xie Yue's pulse again, to make sure that the old man did not catch a cold.
Xie Yue is very grateful to Qin Yining for his meticulousness.
"Tang girl, go back and thank the princess for the old man."
"Yes." Bingtang smiled and put away the pulse pillow, and smiled again, "When the princess asked the servants to come, she told Mr. Xie that the rain has been falling, which is not normal. Nothing major happened."
"The princess and the old man thought of going somewhere. I'll go check out the news tomorrow morning."
"Well, that's Mr. Dorao."
"No matter what, no matter what, this is the duty of the old man."
Bingtang went back and told Qin Yining.
After a night of silence, Qin Yining saw Xie Yue the next day and had no intention of going out for the time being.
She always had to see the local situation before she could see the people from the Sitong number.
When Xie Yue came back, he brought back surprising news.
"Princess, things are not very good. This rain is not only on the road between Beijing and Huichuan County. There are different degrees of heavy rain everywhere, especially in the south, where the old capital of Dayan is the center, surrounded by It's raining a lot."
Qin Yining's brows furrowed.
"I am afraid that the current situation of the imperial court is no longer rich, and the world is not peaceful. Those who have fought in the east and west in these years, I am afraid that the old bottom of the northern Ji country has already been hollowed out. The emperor's tombs have been repaired and stopped. If there is a flood, the treasury will be even worse."
The treasury and treasury have been tense for a day or two, otherwise Li Qitian would not focus on the treasure of the Dayan Dynasty to solve the urgent need. If you want to increase income and reduce expenditure, you have to come up with a solution and have time to implement it.
If there is really a flood in the south, Qin Yining will really have a hard time imagining what the Great Zhou Dynasty will look like, and what kind of damage will Li Qitian come up with to solve the urgent need.
Xie Yue also fell into contemplation like Qin Yining.
"I'm afraid that the treasury cannot support the construction of the emperor's tomb. Will the sage put the crime on the head of the prince?"
Qin Yining also nodded worriedly, "That's what worries me too."
Li Qitian is now trying his best to weaken Pang Xiao, and he wants to impeach Pang Xiao when he seizes the opportunity. If Li Qitian really seizes the opportunity in this matter, he will definitely try his best to kill Pang Xiao.
The two were silent for a long time, before Qin Yining smiled and said, "The flood is not something you and I can control. We can only use soldiers to block the water and cover it up. Let's solve the current problem first."
Xie Yue smiled and nodded again and again, "Princess has a clear mind, it's so good." At first, he was worried that Qin Yining would use his anger and spend too much energy on things that they couldn't control at the moment, so it seemed that he was overhearted. . It seems that he also reversed the mistake of despising women, which cannot happen in the future.
Qin Yining discussed with Xie Yue what to do in the future, and when the regulations were clear, they went back to rest.
When I got up the next day, the weather was still dark and dark. Although the rain had stopped, looking at the appearance, I knew that there would be another heavy rain soon.
After breakfast, Qin Yining asked, "Where's Mr. Xie?"
"Mr. Xie went out with two Jinghu guards and said he was looking for a house." Ji Yun smiled.
Qin Yining nodded and said, "Then let's go to Sitong today to have a look."
Jiyun and Bingtang set out to prepare.
Most of the roads in the city are not paved with stone bricks, so the roads are very muddy. When Qin Yining and a few people passed by the gate of Sitong No. in a carriage, Qin Yining instructed: "Go on."
Jinghuwei, who was driving the car, immediately followed the instructions and continued to move forward. He waited until he passed this street corner and asked, "Princess, let's not go to the Sitong number?"
Qin Yining said: "Let's stop at an inconspicuous place behind, you stay where you are, and I only take two maids. It won't be too eye-catching."
"Yes." Jinghuwei smiled and said, "It's still as thoughtful as you think."
If the princess hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have driven the car directly. Wouldn't that be eye-catching
Qin Yining arranged everything, and took someone to the side door of Sitong No., and handed the maple leaf-shaped jade plaque that Qiu Feishan gave her to Jiyun, "Knock on the door and ask them to talk."
"Ai."
Jiyun embroidered shoes with clogs on the outside, holding an oil-paper umbrella and lightly bought a puddle, he knocked on the side door.
Not long after, a young man came to answer the door.
At first sight, it was a pretty maid with a charming appearance. Seeing that she didn't look like a local person in her clothes and demeanor, the young man smiled smartly and said, "Yo, your distinguished guest, what are your orders?"
Ji Yun shook the maple leaf's jade token with a smile, and said, "Is there anyone in charge here?"
When the young man saw the word Autumn on the sapphire maple leaf, he straightened his expression immediately and saluted, "Yes, yes, you will pass it on later."
Ji Yun smiled and nodded, then stood under the porch and waited.
Bingtang and Qin Yining were holding a large oil-paper umbrella together, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's raining again. Although it's not very big, it's really annoying to keep on raining like this."
"Yes." Qin Yining worriedly stretched her white jade fingers out of the umbrella. Raindrops fell on her fingertips every now and then, and she hurriedly retracted her hand.
At this moment, a 40-year-old man in a sapphire blue long-sleeved long shirt walked out from the Huichuan semicolon of the four-way number. He saw Ji Yun, saw the jade card in her hand, and smiled and cupped his hands: "It turns out that It's a special envoy sent by the owner, and it's really a disappointment."
