Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 198
After discussing military matters, Xiao Chenghan asked Xiao Yilin to stay, and asked someone to summon Chu Minghai, the Minister of Dali Temple, into the palace.

After Chu Minghai saluted, Xiao Chenghan asked: "Chu Aiqing, do you have any clues about what I asked you to investigate earlier?"

Chu Minghai replied: "Your Majesty, I ordered people to check all the medical centers and pharmacies in the capital. The person who bought the two kinds of medicinal materials was not the same person, but different people. But whether these people belonged to the same group remains to be seen." Verify."

Xiao Chenghan nodded and said, "Then continue the investigation. Prince Jing is about to lead his troops to the expedition, and the investigation of the mastermind behind this scene will be left to you Dali Temple. No matter who dares to hinder your investigation, don't tolerate it."

Chu Minghai cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will step up my investigation and find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible."

Xiao Yilin didn't stay in the palace any longer, he went home after leaving the palace, and asked his family to pack him for an expedition at any time.

Feng Zhi took people to investigate the horse dealer Li Dongbao in the suburbs of Beijing, and he came back with a shocking news.Li Dongbao's racecourse in the suburbs of Beijing was run in partnership with someone.According to the partner, Li Dongbao actually has a relationship with Xiao Yimao who has been demoted to a commoner.

Moreover, Li Dongbao is no longer in the capital, and has long since disappeared.

After Feng Zhi got some news from that partner, he didn't dare to delay and hurried back to report, "My lord, it is said that Li Dongbao seldom stays in the capital. The partner takes care of it.

It is said that Li Dongbao once did a horse business with Beiyan.It's just that the horses he bought didn't bring them back to the capital, they said they sold them on the way, and it's unknown who they sold them to.The partner said that he didn't care who he sold to when he got the money anyway. "

Xiao Yilin frowned more and more as he listened, "Who would buy a large number of horses except the imperial court? This is obviously abnormal. But we don't have time to deal with this matter, we are about to go to war soon. The investigation can only be handed over to Dali temple."

Feng Zhi didn't know that Beiyan was about to invade, so he asked in surprise when he heard that they were about to go to war: "Who wants to be beaten for being dishonest?"

Xiao Yilin said: "Beiyan has forgotten the pain of the past, and this time he is attacking again, and it is almost at the border. We have to set off as soon as possible. Let's take the surprise soldiers there first, and the infantry battalion behind will follow."

Feng Zhi's eyes widened when he heard the words, "Beiyan is attacking again? Why don't they have a long memory. Last time they almost wiped out their royal court, this time they just wiped them out."

Xiao Yilin gave Feng Zhi a blank look, "Is it that simple? Don't forget, there is a Yi country next to us, which is not much better than Beiyan. If we attack Beiyan with all the power of the whole country, Yi country It is very likely that they will take advantage of the fire to rob, and it is not uncommon for Yiguo to do such a thing.

This year, not only our Dajin was affected by disasters, but Beiyan and Yiguo were also severely affected, so Beiyan was planning to rob.How do you know that Yiguo won't do the same?Therefore, we must adopt checks and balances to make Yiguo afraid of the threat of Beiyan, so that he will not dare to use force against our Great Jin easily. "

Feng Zhi sucked his teeth when he heard the words, "Oh, Yi Country is really not that good, and the emperor of Yi Country is also used to taking advantage of the fire. We really have to guard against it."

Xiao Yilin felt that the news Feng Zhi brought back was very important, so he immediately entered the palace again.

Xiao Chenghan saw that the fourth son had just left not long ago, and now that he came again, there must be something wrong, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yilin replied: "Father, Feng Zhi went to investigate the horse dealer Li Dongbao in the suburbs of Beijing."

Then Xiao Yilin told the news that he had found out.

Xiao Chenghan's expression was extremely cold when he heard this, "This Li Dongbao has been selling horses for so many years, and he has sold all his horses to anyone, and now he can't find out for a while, but he has something to do with the second child, and in addition to the fact that the Zheng family made his horses back then. Weapons, those horses are likely to be in second-hand hands."

Xiao Yilin was startled when he heard the words, "Father, are you saying that the second elder brother is not reconciled and wants to do something outrageous?"

Xiao Chenghan snorted, "That's impossible. He was demoted to a commoner by me, so you are willing to be him? Maybe he really wants to take the risk and do something rebellious. You don't have to worry about this matter, I will send someone Go check your second brother's movements, you can prepare for the battle with peace of mind. This trip is extremely dangerous, you have to prepare everything."

Xiao Yilin can't take care of other things now, he now has to dispatch troops, allocate food and grass, and make preparations for the conquest.

Many people knew the news that the Beiyan army was about to invade the Jin Dynasty, so there was an invisible tension in the capital.

After Xu Liangsheng returned home, he came to the yard where his wife lived, and Xu Ruyin was there at this time.

Seeing her father coming back, Xu Ruyin stood up and saluted, and said, "Father, my daughter heard that An Le went to treat a patient suffering from plague? She went to the most serious place, wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

Xu Liangsheng glanced at his daughter and said, "It was Marquis Anle who took the initiative to ask for Ying, and then the holy decree sent Marquis Anle to go. Since he asked to go, he was sure. It is said that a cure has been found, and those patients should It's all right.

His Highness Prince Jing personally delivered a batch of supplies, and it should be all right soon. "

Mrs. Xu said: "My lord, it's been rumored in the capital that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is good at Long Yang and has an affair with Marquis An Le. Do you think it's possible? Otherwise, why doesn't His Royal Highness marry the concubine until now? No women?"

Xu Liangsheng glared at his wife and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could His Royal Highness Prince Jing have such a quirk. Don't follow others' sayings and arrange people indiscriminately. What if it spreads to the ears of the Holy One and provokes thunder and anger? We don't care what others say , but keep your mouth shut."

Mrs. Xu said: "Isn't this just listening to others, we didn't talk nonsense. But I didn't see His Royal Highness Prince Jing and An Lehou come out to clarify. They just let others talk nonsense like this?"

Xu Liangsheng rolled his eyes at his wife, "How can we care about these things now. Now that the Northern Yan army is about to overwhelm the border, and the northern border is in danger, the Holy Majesty has decided that His Royal Highness King Jing will lead the army, and King Jing is definitely not in the mansion now.

And An Lehou was not in the capital either.How could they have a chance to clarify?Besides, His Royal Highness King Jing and An Lehou are both gentlemen, they don't care about other people's comments, and they probably don't bother to clarify. "

Listening to her father's words, Xu Ruyin's nervousness dissipated a lot.She didn't want An Lehou to have any ambiguous relationship with His Highness Prince Jing.

She also felt that the person she was looking at would not be so unbearable.She felt that An Lehou was an upright, honest and kind person.Otherwise, he would not have rescued her.

She hates those who gossip, her savior is just like what her father said is a gentleman.
