White Moonlight is Not Easy To Do - Chapter 270
Two days later, Zhen Yingjia and Jiangsu Governor Wu Rong arrived.
Sima Xuan met him in the hall. Zhen Yingjia and Wu Rong came in to see him at the state ceremony. Sima Xuan said lightly, “How dare this king receive a big gift from Uncle Zhen Guo?”
Zhen Yingjia acted terrified and said, “Your Highness has broken down your office! Your Highness suddenly came to Huaiyang, and the servants are in Jinling. It’s really a sin for not being able to come to greet him as soon as possible.”
Sima Xuan said: “Really? A few days ago, this king was living in an inn, but suddenly encountered assassins. They set us on fire, set fire to us, and shot us, all of which failed. Dozens of people rushed to kill, we killed some, caught some, and the rest fled back?”
Zhen Yingjia didn’t seem to have heard the last sentence, and only said: “Thank goodness, the lord is blessed! The lord is coming to Jiangsu, why don’t you bring some guards? If there is an emergency, the lower official will be blamed for his death!”
Sima Xuan said, “What’s so difficult about this? There are so many things going on among the people. If this king dies unexpectedly, who will be to blame?”
Zhen Yingjia also felt a little guilty. Now that his nephew, the Eighth Prince is still in Beijing, he can’t collude with most officials in Jiangnan to help his nephew come to power. Besides, the emperor is still alive, and the Eighth Prince is in Jiangnan. It is difficult to operate. Although Jiangnan is rich, If the soldiers are not strong, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat the imperial court.
If there is nothing he can do, he will not have the intention to kill, because the matter in Jiangnan cannot be investigated, and if he investigates his Zhen family, Jiangsu officials, the Eighth Prince and the party members of the court, all of them will not end well. The best way is to kill Sima Xuan. Once Sima Xuan is dead, the new emperor will have no one to send to investigate these matters for the time being – sending someone else will not be able to suppress the people in the Jiangnan officialdom. If they wanted to kill Sima Xuan, they could only assassinate him. When Sima Xuan did not reveal his identity, they would be wrong. These people were all people who were against the new emperor back then, and there were many things that were devoid of conscience, and they would never end well under the new emperor.
Zhen Yingjia said: “It’s just that the gangsters are too rampant! Let Master Wu search the gangsters well…”
Sima Xuan said, “So it turns out that Lord Wu obeyed Uncle Zhen’s orders?”
Both Zhen and Wu couldn’t help but change their color. Zhen Yingjia said, “How dare you! The lower official said that the lord can order Mr. Wu to conduct a good search.”
Sima Xuan said, “Where should we search?”
Zhen Yingjia said, “Just let Master Wu arraign the arrested gangsters.”
“Don’t bother Lord Wu anymore.” Sima Xuan paused and said, “This king is not dead, but many of them have died, and the trial has not been able to find out who is behind it. When I have a problem, I will take them out. Exiled to Liaodong together.”
Zhen and Wu figured that Sima Xuan wanted to wait for news from the Cao Gang.
If Li Boyan can silence and destroy the Cao Gang’s ledger, then they can save their lives. If they don’t, they will be in trouble.
Sima Xuan let them go lightly, and after they left the government office, they found a place to discuss the matter privately, and they felt that it was difficult to handle.
Sima Xuan’s unannounced visits have the advantage of unannounced visits, and Ming visits also have the advantages of clear visits. If he had been known by them during the unannounced visit, it would be convenient for them to assassinate him. Now that he lives in the prefectural government office, it would be inconvenient to assassinate him. What’s more, the most elite warriors under Zhen Yingjia’s hands were dead, wounded, wounded, and descended. The governor’s army was under his restraint, but the governor could not clearly order to attack the Yangzhou government and kill the imperial court’s Prince Yu.
Zhen Yingjia said gloomily: “No poison is not a husband, and they forced us! My Zhen family is loyal to the emperor, but the new emperor wants to kill the donkey as soon as he takes office.”
Wu Rongdao: “Is there any other way for Lord Zhen?”
Zhen Yingjia said: “Huaiyang suffers from floods every few years. This year, if it doesn’t happen, people can let it happen. As long as there is one disaster, even Sima Xuan has to use the current officials to stabilize the people.”
As long as there is a disaster, disaster relief is like fighting a fire, and it becomes that the new emperor and Sima Xuan have to rely on them to relieve the disaster and appease the refugees. They can only let them go, and they can destroy the evidence during this time.
…
The next afternoon, a group of people sent out by Zhen Yingjia were intercepted by Lin Ruhai’s people. Lin Ruhai has been dealing with Zhen Yingjia for many years, and Lin Ruhai’s subordinates are familiar with several of his subordinates. Yangzhou’s officials are frequently transferred, and they are also promoted in the Jiangsu area. The network is still the same. Although Lin Ruhai is an outsider, he has been in office in Yangzhou for ten years and is a local snake. As soon as Zhen Yingjia entered Yangzhou, he was under Lin Ruhai’s eye.
Lin Ruhai is now dragging the sick body to cooperate with Sima Xuan. Sima Xuan is short of manpower, but Lin Ruhai has been in the local business for ten years, and there are still a few useful people under him.
Lin Ruhai’s subordinates **** two of Zhen Yingjia’s subordinates and secretly sent them to Sima Xuangen.
When Sima Xuan heard that, Zhen Yingjia was going to collect gunpowder and plan to blow up the big river embankment in the Huaiyang area at night.
Sima Xuan hurriedly approached the prefect of Yangzhou to explain the matter. The prefect of Yangzhou was still a member of the new emperor. He only took office last autumn and was at odds with most of the local officials.
The prefect of Yangzhou convened the yamen to look after the dams in Yangzhou, but it was not enough to be optimistic about the dams in other places.
Sima Xuan was in a hurry when there was no one to send.
The eighteen samurai he brought with him—there was no need to worry about who was the spies. They all went to Huai’an. Li Shuo went to Zhejiang to transfer troops, and Yingchun took some of Li Shuo’s personal soldiers to Cao to help.
At noon the next day, I heard Pan Youan running frantically and shouting, “Your Highness! Your Highness!”
“Why panic?”
“princess…”
“What happened to the princess?”
“Princess, she’s back!”
Sima Xuan was taken aback: “So soon? Where is she?” It turned out that Yingchun had only left for six days, and Sima Xuan was full of calculations, that is, the time to go back and forth.
Sima Xuan had just finished asking when she heard her footsteps, and saw the girl in men’s clothing walking quickly, her eyes still bright.
Sima Xuan hurriedly went up to hold her hand and said, “Nianxuan, why are you back so soon.”
Yingchun said: “I haven’t brought back the ledger, but I have found someone. I’m afraid you won’t have enough people around, so we will come back sooner. The leader of the Caobang has promised me that I am willing to hand over the ledger. When General Li returns from Zhejiang, we will Send troops to protect it and take it.”
Li Shuo rushed to Zhejiang, and the journey was longer, and the full deployment of the army was not as convenient as her light car Jiancong, and it would take several days. Yingchun has rich experience and is an old fox who is good at planning. He has a deep understanding of the psychological state of these people who are eager to jump over the wall. He also knows that Sima Xuan’s side is empty, and he is worried about changes, so he quickly leads people back. The top officials of the Cao Gang also knew that the Governor of Cao Yun was going to be detrimental to them. At this time, many of them came to Yangzhou with her, and the Governor of Cao Yun could not be a demon now.
Sima Xuan was very surprised and said, “How did you do it?”
Yingchun said with a smile: “It’s a coincidence, but it’s a long story. The Cao Gang leader needs to take care of himself because of his injuries, but the young gang leader and Miss Pan came with me. I also arrested Li Boyan’s master, he should Knowing a lot of secrets and being willing to be a tainted witness, I just agreed to keep myself and my family alive.”
Sima Xuan said, “Nianxuan’s ability is not small, and this luck is not small!”
When Yingchun saw that the servant had not brought the tea, he picked up Sima Xuan’s teacup, drank it in one gulp, and said, “Those who work hard will not have bad luck.”
Yingchun said, and asked Pan Youan to pass Pan Shaoqing, Pan Xiuqing, Han Yong and others into the hall, and then escorted Zhu Ming and Chen Su to enter.
“The humble, the common people, the female villains, see the prince! The prince is a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!”
Everyone knelt down and saluted, Sima Xuan said, “Be flat.”
“Thank you, Lord!”
Yingchun asked the Pan brothers and sisters to sit down, and he only dared to sit on the half-ass, while Zhu Ming and Chen Su still bowed and stood in the hall.
The servants serve tea to the host and guests.
She introduced Pan Shaoqing, Pan Xiuqing, Zhu Ming, Chen Su and others.
Sima Xuan said, “It turns out that he is the son of Gang Master Pan, and he is also a talented person.”
Pan Shaoqing said: “How dare the villain be? The villain is only a reckless generation, seeking a life on the water, and I have to ask the prince to take care of him.”
Yingchun smiled and said, “Your Majesty prefers sons to daughters, and Miss Pan is also very capable.”
Sima Xuan said, “Isn’t it enough that you prioritize women over men?”
Yingchun said, “I treat everyone equally.”
Sima Xuan said: “It will take a few days for the army of the Duke of Dingbei to arrive. I have to help my friends with the testimonials. This king is not worried. It’s just that there is a major event that concerns the livelihood of millions of people in Huaiyang. very worried.”
Yingchun asked, “What happened?”
Sima Xuan said: “I received news not long ago that the officials involved in the case in Jiangsu have become mad at this time, and they want to blow up the river embankments and water fortifications in the Huaiyang area, flood the people’s fertile fields, create disasters, and cause turmoil, in order to borrow money. Force me to put the anti-corruption issue to rest.”
Pan Xiuqing gritted his teeth and said, “These officials are simply not human beings. They read the book of sages in vain!”
“younger sister!”
Pan Shaoqing called her to remind her that the prince in front of her was also an official.
Yingchun said: “Miss Pan is right, those are no longer human. Young Master Pan, Miss Pan, you have hundreds of thousands of people in the Cao Gang. You should know where the embankment is the most dangerous, right?”
Pan Shaoqing said: “I know a little bit, but I’m afraid that because the land is too big, I can’t know everything.”
Yingchun said: “Once the river embankment bursts, of course those mad and corrupt officials will still sit back and relax, and the people in Jiangsu will suffer. After all, the gang members of the Cao Gang are also the common people! The so-called relying on the mountains to fall, rely on everyone to run, and never fall on their own! Since the Dingbeihou army has not yet arrived, the common people have to rely on themselves!”
Pan Xiuqing said, “If the wangfei has any idea that needs my help, please tell me directly!”
Yingchun said: “I also ask the Cao Gang to tell the people that some gangsters want to attack the dam recently. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect the dam, protect the fertile land, and protect the homeland. Let’s see which official dares to risk the world’s ignorance. Let’s blast the dyke!”
Sima Xuan said: “If someone can get stolen goods and bring them to me, I will personally interrogate them. If they are convicted, I will smash them all over the door to serve as a police example!”
The matter was too urgent, and Pan Shaoqing and Pan Xiuqing didn’t wait much longer, and hurried back to the ship to issue orders. The Huaiyang area was transported by the Cao Gang, and thousands of people carried out a vigorous “embankment protection movement” for more than a month. , Until the corruption case in Huaiyang came to an end, the embankment protection movement ended. This is all for later.
…
Since the assassin’s case, Yingchun has been tired for eight days, and she has not had a good night’s sleep, and she has been lucky several times. At this time, soaking in hot water is so comfortable that she fell asleep leaning against the edge of the tub.
Si Qi came in to take a look, afraid that the water would be cold, and wanted to wake her up, but he couldn’t bear to wake her up.
Sima Xuan came into the room and waved at Si Qi before Si Qi left with a blushing face.
Sima Xuan watched as her entire body below her shoulders was submerged in water, with petals floating on the water, and the beauty in the bath was always extraordinarily tempting.
Sima Xuan’s cheeks were hot, he wanted to take her out of the tub, but he found it hard to do it, and he would always startle her.
Sima Xuan was leaning down and pulling her arm, trying to hold her out, but Yingchun suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes blurred, and said, “What do you want to do?”
“Take you to bed and rest.”
“I’m not seriously injured or in a coma. If you touch me, I’ll wake up.” Yingchun yawned, “Go out first, and come in later and wipe my hair.”
Sima Xuan looked at him, Jun blushed, but said, “My daughter-in-law, I don’t have to go out, right?”
Yingchun pushed his face away, then suddenly got up and got out of the tub, stretched out his hand and pulled a dry cotton cloth to wrap his body, then walked to the desk to dry his body with a cloth towel, and fetched and put on his underwear.
Sima Xuan watched for a while, but turned around when she took off the cloth towel to get dressed.
After she put on her coat, he stepped forward to wipe her hair. Seeing that it was still dry, he dragged her to the couch, passed on her infuriating energy, and dried it with infuriating energy.
It is good to have martial arts. Yingchun smiled and said, “You are sitting in Yangzhou to deal with officials, and you don’t have to be so tired to coordinate the overall situation. I’m welcome.”
After drying his hair, Yingchun fell into bed and fell asleep.
Sima Xuan looked at her tender face and soft lips, kissed her twice, and was amused for a long time.
…
The next day, they woke up only after the sun rose to greet the spring. They had already done everything they could do now, and the other things could only be done after Li Shuo had dispatched troops.
On this day, Yingchun was going to see Lin Ruhai, but the guard warriors who had been sent to Cao Gang earlier came back to the house. They were a step late and were heading to Laojun Mountain. Yingchun asked Zhu Ming, who was the spy, but Zhu Ming said that he was directly assigned by Li Boyan, but it was unclear who sent the news to Li Boyan.
Sima Xuan said: “Don’t worry about it, it’s not that difficult to catch a spy, I’ll handle it myself.”
Yingchun said: “That’s it, I just went to the shop to find some medicinal materials, and then went to visit my uncle.”
Yingchun heard that Sima Xuan said that Lin Ruhai was suffering from pulmonary qi failure. She also prepared some good medicine to bring with her, and cooked some medicine on the spot for him to hang, so she would spend more time with Daiyu.
Yingchun was accompanied by Si Qi and Pan You’an for a long time before returning to the other courtyard. At this time, Sima Xuan had already identified the spy, and he was actually one of the guards sent by the emperor. At this time, he committed suicide in public. At first, the time was tight, and the other guards did not behave abnormally and passed the news alone. Only when he walked away for an excuse and Sima Xuan pressed him again alone, he was forced to commit suicide in a hurry.
Yingchun said: “I don’t know if there are any spies among these people. Unfortunately, most of them are my own. Otherwise, when I rest for a while, I can hypnotize them and ask them out. It’s just that these are the best ways to deal with enemies and prisoners. If Dealing with one’s own people, people’s hearts are easily scattered, and ultimately it is not the right way. Only use one or two when you have to, and it is absolutely impossible.”
This is like a suspected political prisoner in a special era, and it can also make many people with effective hearts stay away or slack off, which is a manifestation of losing their hearts. Therefore, when there is no evidence, it is not possible to use extreme methods to screen all of your own people, and you still need all the accuracy and evidence to be convincing. The world’s major events, and more about the pattern, not to mention the use of people without suspicion, sometimes people who are suspected of use must be used, which is why there is never a person who sits in a high position by moving the soul.
But he said that Yingchun and Sima Xuan went to Lin Ruhai’s house to diagnose his pulse and give him acupuncture. With the help of a genius doctor like her, Lin Ruhai’s lifespan can always be extended for a few years, but she herself is paralyzed, and she must not be arrogant in the past few days.
…
It is said that in the Rongguo Mansion in Kyoto, Xue Baochai’s dream of entering the palace as a concubine was shattered. She was also invited to the palace, met the royal princess, and found that Jia Yingchun actually practiced martial arts. Her daughter’s family was really out of line, and there were no rules.
Whether it was Sima Xuanhou, who had seen her from a distance, or she had already known the princesses, these “heavenly ladders” all gave birth to some “hot poison”.
Xue Baochai and Baoyu knew golden locks and psychics on one side, and on the other side, they were looking forward to the opportunity to be invited to the palace again.
Yingchun went south with Sima Xuan, and she would never mention Baochai, a person she didn’t know well.
Baochai didn’t wait for Yingchun to invite the sisters to play, while Daiyu and Erchun spent their spare time practicing martial arts and playing the flute. They liked the “Jade Xiao Sword Technique” very much.
Several girls did not find Baochai to play with, and Baoyu was excluded from the circle of girls. Baochai and Baoyu often played together. But Baochai thinks that Baoyu is her possible husband, so she persuades him to study, and Baoyu, who already loves her beautiful sister, gets bored of her. Baoyu went to visit Daiyu again. Daiyu didn’t accompany him every time, but only sent him to study. Baoyu was bored and had to stick to the beautiful maid in the room.
This time, Daiyu and Erchun are playing in the garden, exchanging martial arts, and they are meeting Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai saw that they were carrying bamboo flutes on their bodies, and the sisters tried to play tricks, but she was the only one who had not been taught by Yingchun, so they didn’t understand the truth.
Xue Baochai said, “It’s better for you to play like this for three days than to go to the palace to ask your princess and sister. If she can give you advice for an hour, it will be better than being fooled by yourself.”
Tan Chun said: “Why don’t we want to do this, but the second sister went out of Beijing with Wang Ye and brother-in-law. The day before yesterday, Princess Shoukang asked us if there was any news about the second sister.”
Xue Baochai said in shock: “You met Princess Shoukang the day before yesterday? I didn’t even know it.”
Tanchun said: “It was the princess of Guijun who met at the flower viewing banquet.”
It turned out that Princess Shoukang and others sent people to pick up a few sisters who were obviously higher than them in martial arts through the banquet of their sister-in-law or aunt. Although Baochai wanted to flatter them, Princess Shoukang had never seen anything, so she didn’t like it very much. She, seeing that she is not actually a relative of Yingchun, but a relative of the second room, so she did not go to her.
Baochai was depressed again, Daiyu still didn’t like Baochai very much at this time, and guessed what she was thinking, so she didn’t say much.
The sisters played until the evening, and went to Jia’s mother’s place for dinner, when suddenly they heard a letter from a mother-in-law, saying that Rui Geer of the Confucian family of Jia Dai had gone. Jia’s mother was not young, but she didn’t really like to hear such news, so she just let the mother-in-law pass the message to Jia She and Jia Zheng, only Wang Xifeng looked different.
Jia Rui is not Qin Keqing. He started his prayers in three days, and sent him to Tiejian Temple in seven days. After that, his burial was relatively simple.
A few days later, Jia’s house received a letter from Lin Ruhai, who was seriously ill and wanted to take Daiyu back.
Mother Jia asked for some help, and then sent Jia Lian to take Dai Yunan to go. The two chose to bid farewell to everyone, and led the servants to board the boat to Yangzhou.
…
Besides, Li Shuo transferred the Zhejiang Army into Yangzhou to protect Sima Xuan. He did not worry about the matter at this time, so Yingchun brought Han Yong and others along with the elite soldiers of the 500 Shenji Battalion and the 500 Infantry squires to look for the ledger in Tianchangfu.
After Yingchun treated Lin Ruhai for five days, her condition improved. The account book was too important, and she did not feel relieved to hand it over to others.
Yingchun had seen the illusion, although she saw too little from her point of view, but she also guessed that according to the original way, the new emperor should not regain the financial power this time, and did not control Jiangnan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to still get the concubines and concubines, numb these people, and then introduce the tricks of digging people’s foundations and cooking oil with fire.
It wasn’t until a few years later that the old lady of the Zhen family and the concubine died, and Zhen Yingjia was finished. At that time, the new emperor should have been rearranged.
To talk about the difference, Yingchun is estimated to be on Sima Xuan, the reincarnated Yulang. This time is too early. If the new emperor does not have Sima Xuan’s identity and ability, he will not be able to move Huaiyang now.
The Cao Gang also cooperated very well with the Spring Festival, and dispatched troops to protect the waters in case of persecution by Zhen Yingjia and the Governor of Cao Yun.
Pan Xiuqing took Yingchun up the mountain in person, and the nearby hills had also been cleared away by the Cao Gang. When they found the “tomb of the father and grandson of Yuanxing”, they pried open the tombstone, took out the coffin and opened it, and there were two boxes inside.
He took out the box and opened it, and inside it was a book of account books, the general account book of the Cao Gang involved in salt. The general account books for the past twelve years are all here, and there are twelve books every year.
Yingchun was overjoyed and said with a smile: “Sister Pan, thank gang leader Pan on my behalf. This time, those sinners of the country and the people are finally over.”
Pan Xiuqing said with a smile, “Is that the Queen concubine agreeing to it?”
Yingchun smiled and said, “The Cao Gang is so big. If I join the Gang, I will definitely have something to take care of. I’m too playful, I’m afraid of bad things.”
Pan Xiuqing said: “If the princess can do bad things, then no one in the world will do good things.”
It turned out that Yingchun negotiated with Gang Leader Pan at the time. Although Gang Leader Pan mentioned it first, he made a request that Yingchun should join the Cao Gang. He could hand over the evidence to her and cooperate with the imperial commissioner to investigate the salt affairs.
Yingchun knew that the leaders of the Cao Gang were also worried that the court would be blamed for the private salt. After all, whether it was official or private salt, the Cao Gang needed to be transported in and out, and they also got the money for the transportation.
Yingchun didn’t agree at that time, but simply stated their most important concern, guaranteeing her life and wealth, and said that she had to ask her husband about joining the gang as a woman.
Gang Master Pan understood and gave in, and gave her a high five before sending her children and subordinates to assist her.
Because I was worried about the wind and rain and other force majeure factors when traveling by water, I returned by land. Thousands of officials and civilians entourage, Yingchun and two boxes of ledgers are inseparable. The Cao Gang has also greeted the people in the nearby rivers and lakes. Now that the officials and the people are cooperating, no one dares to stop them all the way, so they return to Yangzhou.
In order to reconcile with the official salt account book owned by Lin Ruhai’s family to calculate the private salt data, they carried all the two boxes of account books into the Lin House, the imperial salt inspector.
