The Qin family has a bamboo forest in the backyard and gurgling water.

The servants retreated, leaving only two people in the courtyard.

Erli stood outside the courtyard, seemingly casually strolling around, but in fact he was strictly guarding everyone who came near the bamboo forest and waterside pavilion.

Qin Qingyue lay on the rocking chair, rocking back and forth comfortably.

"The opening of Guanglitong Trading Company raised a large amount of money in a short period of time and dedicated it to His Majesty, so that His Majesty would have enough money to continue building the imperial mausoleum and rebuild the Suzaku Palace. It can be regarded as a great achievement, and it can solve the current problem of His Majesty. Dilemma, I believe it won’t be long before His Highness can return home safely.”

Chu Yanning held the tea cup tightly, "After the First World War in Xiangzhou, the national treasury was tight. The silver brought back from the Xiangzhou Coin Workshop was neither used to finance military supplies nor to build water conservancy projects. Instead, it was used to build water conservancy projects. Now I am building the imperial mausoleum. Forget it, I actually want to rebuild the Suzaku Palace. The abandoned palace of the previous dynasty is now just an empty frame. It cost an unknown amount to build, and I don’t know what I think.”

"Shh..."

Qin Qingyue glanced sideways and pointed to a silent gesture, "Yan Ning, this is my home. Don't make such nonsense in my home, so as not to injure me. What's more, you should thank His Majesty who is in urgent need of money now, otherwise we His Highness was tied back from Yongzhou, and he was bound to suffer a physical and physical torture, but now he is safe and sound."

"But...Ban Wenguo has already gone to Beiting with His Majesty's secret order." Chu Yanning lowered his voice and leaned closer to Qin Qingyue, with worry on his face, "Although General Chai has been handing out information in recent years. We need military pay, but the military pay allocated by your Majesty is only one-tenth of one-tenth. In addition to being self-sufficient, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers rely on the silver shipped from the coin workshop to offset their military pay. The coin workshop has been closed for only half a year, and the North There must be no shortage of military pay in the court now. Ban Wenguo went to Beiting to conduct overt and covert inspections, and he must not be able to escape his eyes. If he returns to the capital to secretly report to His Majesty that Beiting has sufficient military supplies and food, how can he explain it? "

"Yan Ning, since I can find out the news that Ban Wenguo secretly went to Beiting, of course I can also find out the secret information that restricts Ban Wenguo."

Qin Qingyue hooked his fingers. When Chu Yanning saw this, he leaned closer to him and whispered a few words into his ear. Then he lay back on the rocking chair, which started to creak and rock again.

Chu Yanning's face was full of disbelief, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, "Are you sure? No, I should ask in another way, how can you prove that it is true?"

"You don't need to prove it is true, you just need Ban Wenguo to know that it is true." Qin Qingyue raised his eyebrows, "Except for life and death, everything in life is trivial. But that thing can make Ban Wenguo survive It’s better to die.”

After all, His Majesty has never believed that the money-making workshop was established by King Xiang, let alone that the remnants of King Xiang would be buried in the fire in Chongzhou Post House.

He suspected his son King Liang, but there was no real evidence, but he suppressed his temper and did not attack King Liang. It was not out of the deep love between father and son. It was simply because he was afraid that a sudden attack on King Liang would force the people stationed in Beiting. An army of hundreds of thousands openly rebelled.

Therefore, I wanted to find some evidence and change the name to get rid of King Liang and the entire Chai family army.

What he was afraid of was exactly what King Liang relied on.

"Okay, I will secretly keep an eye on Ban Wenguo's whereabouts and look for him when he returns from Beiting and enters the capital. In addition, you should take good care of your leg injury. If it weren't for your inconvenience, I wouldn't bother to check your Qin. The courtyard wall of our home. Besides, the Qin family has a lot of eyesight, and this is not an absolutely safe place. It is better not to meet here in the future, otherwise it will only cause more trouble. "

It was only concern about Qin Qingyue's leg injury that allowed Chu Yanning to risk exposure and climb over the Qin family's courtyard wall to discuss important matters with Qin Qingyue.

At this moment, I heard the voice of Erli: "Miss, why are you here? The young master is resting. Do you want me to help you see if the young master wakes up?" Is it Qin Ruizhi?Why did she come suddenly?

Chu Yanning glanced in the direction of the courtyard entrance and signaled Qin Qingyue with her eyes: "Why is your sister here?"

Qin Qingyue, however, was as steady as a mountain, with a bit of joy in his calmness. He stood up from the recliner and said, "My sister came to see me. It's the most normal thing. It's really unfortunate. Commander Chu, please go first. Use the back door, don't climb over the wall, it's easy." Saw by my sister."

Chu Yanning glared at Qin Qingyue angrily, and then ducked into the bamboo forest.

There is a secret door left in the bamboo forest. You can go out of the backyard through the secret door and walk around for three or two steps to reach the backyard. It happens that there is no one in the backyard, so you lift the bolt of the courtyard door and leave from the backyard.

After Chu Yanning left, Qin Qingyue threw the tea cup that Chu Yanning drank into the pool with a wave of his hand, wiped the water stains with his sleeves, and then lay down on the rocking chair again.

When Qin Ruizhi walked up to him, she turned around in surprise as if she had just discovered him, "It's my sister, why are you here?"

One of his legs was still hanging, unable to use any strength.

"Here, you owe Yang Mengzhang 5000 taels of IOU. I'll get it back for you."

Qin Ruizhi handed the receipt to Qin Qingyue together with the receipt written by Yang Mengzhang. When Qin Qingyue reached out to take it, Qin Ruizhi took it back.

Qin Qingyue's hand froze in mid-air, neither taking it nor receiving it. "Sister, what do you mean by this? Are you making my brother happy?"

Qin Ruizhi stuffed the things in her arms, turned around and sat down opposite him, "Brother, 5000 taels is what I asked for from the Zheng family. I worked hard and risked my life to escort Zheng Pin back to Beijing in exchange for it. You too I'm sorry to waste the 5000 taels I worked so hard for, right?"

Oh, I want to negotiate terms with him.

Qin Qingyue knew what he was doing, but he felt confident, "My sister gave her life in exchange for the money, but my brother was not rewarded for his merits. So, sister, what can I do for you?"

Qin Ruizhi smiled gently, "I can't talk about service. I think my brother has lived in Kyoto for a long time and is good at gambling. He must have many friends from all walks of life. Therefore, I would like to ask my brother to help me check on Gu Bingyi and his wives, concubines and children. As long as it is news related to them, I want it, and the more detailed it is, the more details will be made."

Qin Qingyue no longer pretended to be calm and cool, with a stiff expression on his face, and a look of confusion, "Sister, what do you want General Chagu to do? Nowadays, there are two great gods in Kyoto who cannot be desecrated. They are Su Yiling and Gu Bingyi. Of course you can check him if you want, but if you don't tell me the reason, it will be difficult to convince me to take the risk to check him. "

Qin Ruizhi couldn't say it directly. She wanted to take revenge on Gu Bingyi, so she could only talk about other things. "Su Yiling and Gu Bingyi are now deeply favored by His Majesty and hold high official positions. But I don't understand. Obviously my mother also follows They, too, have protected His Majesty's safety. Why do they hold high positions and become nobles, while our mother has no choice but to live in Puzhou?"
