Chapter 147 Disgraceful, but useful

Yu's face hardened and his smile disappeared: "Tonight, I have already handed over the coupons. I will bring Shuang Xu and those witnesses... Although your father has made a decision, he is still in a bad mood about this matter. .”

"These two from the second room -" Mrs. Yu gritted her teeth, "your father is so kind, they - hey!"

After scolding them too many times, Ms. Yu didn't even bother to talk about their arrogance, she just felt sorry for her husband.

After all, she didn't have much involvement with her second wife. She only gave in to her second wife just for Xie Wei's sake. Now she is naturally merciless when she turns against him.

But Xie Wei was worried about the two elders of the Xie family, and it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable.

Xie Zhaozhao advised: "Mom, please love dad more and comfort him."

"I know this, and you don't need to explain it." When Mrs. Yu talked about this, she remembered that she had just comforted Xie Wei, and was seen by Xie Changyuan. His eyes were really dirty, and his eyebrows were wrinkled again.

"I don't know what the emperor will do this time... It would be best if I leave the capital and take you all away."

Especially Xie Changyuan, she can be re-educated when the time comes.

After leaving Chunhe Building, the gentle smile on Xie Zhaozhao's face disappeared, and his expression was calm: "Hongxiu, have you made an appointment?"

"We've made an appointment." Hongxiu whispered, "We'll meet at Qingfeng Tower."

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Let's go out now."

"Yes."

Xie Zhaozhao took Hongxiu and Hongxia with him, took a carriage after leaving the house, and changed boats when they arrived at the river.

About two-quarters of an hour later, we arrived at the private seating on the third floor of Qingfeng Building.

There was still half an hour before the appointed time, but Yun Qi had not arrived.

Xie Zhaozhao sat at the window and waited quietly.

……

East Palace
Yun Qi, who was being waited for by Xie Zhaozhao, was standing in the prince's study and calmly replied to the prince: "No."

"Oh?"

The prince's eyes were calm, and he said calmly: "Most people in the court feel that you are the only person who has the reason, the courage, and the ability to accomplish this matter."

Chu Nanxuan was completely trampled to pieces because of farts and rumors.

The face of King Liang was also trampled on the ground.

Yun Qi has been at war with Prince Liang recently.

The prince has been busy dealing with other things these days and did not bother to ask Yun Qi about this matter. He only found the opportunity to call him here today.

Yun Qi felt unjust in his heart.

He really didn't do this.

But I have to say that Xie Zhaozhao does things cleanly and neatly.

Although... the process is a bit dumbfounding.

Seeing that he remained silent, the prince frowned and asked, "Are you really not you?"

"No." Yun Qi shook his head: "If it was me who did it, I would dare to take responsibility without covering it up."

The prince paused.

It seems that Yun Qi is indeed bold and bold.

For example, they went directly to Beijing to steal a bride, or the Xuanjia army entered Youzhou to collect taxes.

Another example is the impeachment of Chu Nanxuan and the defense of Xie Zhaozhao at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.

"It really makes me sad that my son has no credibility in the eyes of his father." Yun Qi said, "What happened at the wedding banquet of the Third Emperor's Uncle really had nothing to do with me."

He said this, but his expression really didn't show any sadness, but instead showed a little helplessness, and a very light... pampering?
"Who is that? Do you believe that Yunshan just happened to do these things?"

The prince narrowed his eyes and suddenly guessed: "Could it be... Xie Zhaozhao?"

Yun Qi was slightly startled, as if surprised.

The prince did not miss this slight change in expression.

The prince also paused and then said: "Although...it's not very glorious, it's still useful."

Yun Qi said nothing.The prince wiped his chin and pursed his lips for a long time, then suddenly said: "You don't care about this matter anymore, and you won't ask anything about it in the future. You can just figure it out yourself, as long as you have some sense of discretion."

Perhaps he had always thought of his son as a reckless and reckless man.

He also takes other things for granted.

Yun Qi cupped his hands: "Understood."

The father and son talked about some things in the court.

The prince suddenly coughed several times.

A trace of concern flashed in Yun Qi's eyes: "Father is not feeling well? Have you seen the imperial doctor?"

"This is an old problem as a father. It happens every time the spring is cold and the autumn is cold." The prince waved his hand casually, "You don't have to worry about these things. Just take care of your own business."

Yun Qi frowned slightly: "My father is responsible for the country and the country, and his health is a big deal. He must pay attention to it at all times. Mr. Gui Miao, the doctor, is in the capital. Please ask him to take a look at my father."

"As a father——"

"Take a look." Yun Qi interrupted the prince, "It's always right to treat the disease when it's sick and to maintain the health when it's not sick."

The prince raised his eyebrows again and said with a slight smile, "Okay, I'll accept your filial piety."

……

Xie Zhaozhao waited until dusk fell, but instead of Yun Qi, Lu Hanqiu came and said, "His Royal Highness is still in the East Palace. I'm afraid he won't be able to come until later."

"Is something wrong?"

"The prince is feeling unwell and has asked a doctor to help with his diagnosis."

"Oh." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Then you should really pay attention...has Mr. Lu brought the things?"

"Yes."

Lu Hanqiu handed a small box to his attendant, who handed it to the red sleeve next to Xie Zhaozhao.

"This is the key." Lu Hanqiu pointed to the small box, "The things are stored in the warehouse in the back hall of a teahouse on South Street. Miss Seven can send someone to pick them up on her own. The things have not been touched at all."

"Thank you!"

After the two had a brief conversation, Lu Hanqiu left.

Xie Zhaozhao waited for Yun Qi for a while, but did not see him coming, so he simply left a message saying that he would meet again next time, and secretly took Hongxiu to the place Lu Hanqiu mentioned.

The teahouse was closed at this time.

But there was a piece of paper in the box given by Lu Hanqiu, with a big word written on it - put.

Hong Xiu showed it to the waiter, and they opened the door and took Xie Zhaozhao to the back.

The warehouse was opened, and there were seven large cypress boxes inside, filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and silk and satin, all of which had been taken from Mo Bao Zhai.

Xie Zhaozhao ordered: "Hongxiu, you don't have to stay with me these days. Take these and exchange them for gold and silver notes and store them in Sihai Bank."

"Yes -" Hongxiu didn't expect that Erfang had so much money hidden in his pocket. He was a little stunned for a moment. When he heard Xie Zhaozhao's order, he responded reflexively, then came back to his senses and asked, "Why exchange for gold?"

It would definitely not be so smooth to exchange such many things for gold at once, and the price might be reduced, resulting in a lot of losses.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Of course it is useful. Just do as I say. Don't worry about the loss and replace it as soon as possible. If it's difficult to handle, ask Lei Xing for help."

"Okay, my subordinates understand."

Hongxiu put the keys away and left with Xie Zhaozhao from the backyard of the tea house.

When he was about to get on the carriage in the alley behind, Xie Zhaozhao smelled a strong smell of ink and couldn't help but ask: "Why is the smell of ink here so strong?"

"It's like this -" the teahouse waiter replied: "There is a bookstore next door to us, and we draw out some story books every few days, so it has such a strong atmosphere."

"Oh."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and sat back on the carriage.

When she walked around from the alley to the front, she glanced along the car curtain.

There is indeed a Qiaotou Bookstore.
