Chapter 84
Chu Dingguo suddenly realized, and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the last general is reckless."

Ye Qinghuai looked at him with some concern, and said in a deep thought: "You should investigate Du Zhengen's matter as usual first, keep the evidence that should be kept, and record the statement that should be recorded. You don't need to pay attention to other matters."

After finishing speaking, Ye Qinghuai thought about it, and added: "For the time being, I will be the commander of the imperial army, and I will report everything to you, and don't make decisions on my own."

"Yes. The last general takes orders!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, you've arrived, please wait in the side hall." Li Baoquan's voice sounded outside the door.

"Li Baoquan, come in." Ye Qinghuai said.

Li Baoquan pushed the door open and walked in.

Ye Qinghuai noticed that he looked a little tired.

"Li Baoquan, take this imperial decree, take Chu Dingguo with you, and go to the Secretary of the Youya Mansion to proclaim the decree. After the announcement, the inner court will copy an announcement according to this imperial decree and paste it in front of the gate of the Youya Mansion." Ye Qinghuai handed the drafted decree to Li Baoquan.

Li Baoquan accepted the order respectfully, and retreated with Chu Dingguo one after the other.

As soon as the two of them went out, Ye Qinghuai frowned.

This Chu Dingguo is really worrying.

Ye Qinghuai talked to him all morning, and his mouth was dry. This kid is loyal, but his mind is too straight.Don't talk about old foxes like Gu Shihai and Chen Yuansi, even Luo Zichang's level is enough for him to drink a pot.

But right now there is no one available, and what the new General Wuwei is going to do is to offend others. He has a straightforward personality, so maybe it will be miraculous.

Ye Qinghuai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, the tea was completely cold.

She was only wearing her middle coat, which was a little thin, and she couldn't help shivering.

"Chang Shoucheng, hot tea." Ye Qinghuai called out.

When Li Baoquan was away, Chang Shoucheng, the eunuch in charge of Jingshou Palace, was usually waiting on him.

Soon, Chang Shoucheng came in with hot tea.

"You are fast." Ye Qinghuai sighed about his speed.

While pouring tea, Chang Shoucheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty is busy in the morning, and the servants dare not disturb you, and you dare not come in to refill the tea, so you just stay outside, and the tea is brewed pot after pot."

"What pot is this?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"The sixth pot." He answered very quickly.

Ye Qinghuai nodded, and took a sip of the tea, the water temperature is suitable, it is Longdu Yuya.This kind of tea is the most fragrant when it is brewed for the third or fourth time. Calculating the time, there are almost exactly six pots in the morning.

Apparently he wasn't lying.

Ye Qinghuai then ordered: "Go and call the people waiting in the supporting hall, and then serve a pot of hot tea."

Chang Shoucheng happily responded and left in a hurry.
-
It has been more than two months since Ye Qinghuai and Li Wenqing last met in the Qinxian Palace.

At that time, the New Year's Eve had just passed, and the house was still burning with warm charcoal.Now it is the mid-spring season when hundreds of flowers are blooming.

The court situation has also been very different.

"Li Qing, you look much better than when you came last time." Ye Qinghuai said while beckoning him to drink tea.

"Thanks to His Majesty's concern, I am terrified." Li Wenqing said.

"Is everything okay at home?" Ye Qinghuai asked kindly.

Hearing these words, Li Wenqing suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes were full of gratitude.

He stood up, saluted Ye Qinghuai, and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for helping my mother."

Ye Qinghuai was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What happened to Lingtang?"

Li Wenqing was taken aback by her question, but quickly regained his composure, and said: "It seems that His Majesty is busy with political affairs, and the servant has not had time to report back. On the day I was ordered to supervise the case of Chief Gu Shi Qiang's robbery of a civilian girl, my mother went out to buy vegetables. I was besieged by some hooligans at the time, and almost had an accident, but fortunately, I was rescued by the people sent by His Majesty to spy on them. After they sent my mother back to the humble house, they told my mother not to move around in the near future. The purchases at home these days are all done by them Help with errands."

After finishing speaking, he saluted Ye Qinghuai again, and it was obvious that he was sincerely grateful.

"How do you know it's the person I sent?" Ye Qinghuai asked with a frown.

"They said it. The minister wanted to thank them, but they refused to accept it no matter what. They said that it was the emperor's life, and they were ashamed to accept it. Your Majesty has taken care of the minister so far, and the minister has no way of repaying him."

Ye Qinghuai was stunned by what he said.

She never gave such an order.What's more, how could she have such a person outside the palace?
But when she thought about it again, she was indeed worried about Li Wenqing's safety.

Then she suddenly remembered that although she had never personally sent anyone to follow and protect Li's mother, she had asked Lu Yanchen to let his "market friends" take care of Li Wenqing.

But she just mentioned, can Lu Yanchen be so meticulous?Even Li Wenqing's old mother sent people to keep an eye on him, and she can still take care of her every day to help with the purchases without charging a penny?

This is really too detailed.

I can only ask him after he wakes up.

"I remembered, there is such a thing. As long as there is nothing wrong with Lingtang." Ye Qinghuai suppressed the doubts in her heart, and smiled at Li Wenqing.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Qinghuai got to the point: "Li Qing, I called you here today to ask how the case of Gu Haiwang is going?"

Li Wenqing had already expected that the reason for the emperor's summoning today was for this matter, so he said seriously: "The treasurer Wang of Heshun Cloth Village has a daughter named Wang Siyun, who is fourteen years old. Years ago, when Gu Hai Wang came to Heshun Cloth Village to pick up the new year's goods, he asked this question. The little girl fell in love at first sight, and proposed to take her as a concubine, but Wang Siyun had a marriage contract, so the shopkeeper Wang declined the marriage. Years later, Gu Haiwang went to the door twice, and according to shopkeeper Wang and neighbors, the two failed. It was settled, Gu Haiwang once brought people to smash the storefront of Heshun Cloth Village."

After Ye Qinghuai listened, she thought for a while and asked: "The Gu family is a prominent family in Beijing, and Gu Haiwang is the eldest son. The Wang family is just a small businessman, and her daughter's marriage as a concubine is a far cry from him. Why did you reject this marriage? "

"According to shopkeeper Wang, Wang Siyun is married to his brother's son. He is unwilling to break the contract and affect the family relationship between the two families. On the other hand..." Li Wenqing hesitated, and said, "Gu Changshi is in Beijing. The word of mouth is not very good, shopkeeper Wang is worried that his daughter will suffer if she marries in the past."

Ye Qinghuai frowned: "To suffer? What crime?"

Li Wenqing thought for a while, sorted out his words, and said: "The following are mostly rumors, and I haven't collected any evidence yet. There are rumors in Beijing that Gu Changshi likes young girls who are not yet young, especially white, thin and weak. Prostitutes There have been several cases in Li, alleging that Gu Changshi played with a little girl to death in a brothel, but in the end they all resolved and failed to sue."

Ye Qinghuai was furious upon hearing this.

Gu Haiwang actually has such a vice?

"That Wang Siyun, have you seen her? How does she look? But...the one that Gu Haiwang likes?"

Li Wenqing took a deep breath and replied, "Weichen didn't see her. She disappeared."
