Chapter 174

Changying didn't expect Song Yu to go with her at first, it would be inconvenient to bring outsiders with her when she was on a business trip, but wouldn't it save her a lot of trouble if Song Yu could go this time?
The two parties agreed that Shaoqing and the others would hear from Changying when they returned to the mansion, and they finalized the plan that night, and then scheduled to leave at noon the next day.

The next day happened to be a meeting in the guard.

After Tan Shao finished his business, he announced the transfer of two generals to the Superintendent, to be precise, Changying's side. Since Xu Lan left, she also had plans to leave, and it was necessary to add generals here.

It was at this time that Huo Rong and Ling Yuan knew that she was going to Hangzhou.

Because Shaoqing came back, the two guards left by Ling Yuan also came back, Xia Ya went back to the mansion to ask some details, but he didn't say anything more.

Although he disapproved of her making friends with the Song family, even if he said it now, it would be useless. She was so stubborn that she would not listen to him at all, so she might as well talk about it later.

Huo Rong went directly to Changying's office.

"How many days are you going to Hangzhou?"

"If all goes well, I'll be back in three to five days." Changying sorted out the military newspaper.

Huo Rong thought for a while: "Then I'll let Tong Qi go with you."

Changying's subordinates moved slowly: "Why did you ask him to follow me?"

"It's convenient for two more people to do things."

Changying smiled, disapproving.

But unexpectedly, when she was about to set off in the afternoon, Tong Qi came to Shen's house with two guards and a horse.

"Our master said that if the young lady went out, if he didn't say anything, others would definitely gossip after seeing it. If the master has something to do, he can't go, so he sent his subordinates down."

He smiled and patted the burden on his body.

Changying didn't bother with these things, and drove into the city to meet Song Yu at the city gate, and then headed for Hangzhou.

Although the coast of Hangzhou is chaotic, the city is very prosperous. After all, it is precisely because of its wealth that Japanese pirates are eyeing this place.

After entering the city gate, Tong Qi volunteered to stand in front, and led Changying and the others to the inn.

Changying Shaoqing and Song Yu each have an upper room, and the rest are free to do so.

After settling down, everyone was a little surprised. The conditions of the inn were among the best in the city, and the poor money given by the guard could not afford such a good room.

Tong Qi took a chance and went to Changying's room, and said in a low voice: "Young Madam, just stay at ease, this inn belongs to us. You can eat whatever you want, just ask."

As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper outside the door brought in three fellows, bowing and bending over, bringing food and drinks, all of which were exquisite and delicious.

Changying finally understood that Huo Rong didn't send someone to help her with errands, he clearly sent Tong Qi to be her housekeeper.

However, with this arrangement, it really saved a lot of worry. I stayed at night first, and from the next day, Changying asked Shaoqing to take Huang Ji and Zhou Liang to handle the case of the six doors, and she took Zixiang to accompany Song. Live in the city and visit privately.

With Xie Peng returning to the throne, Huo Rong has more matters at hand.

After Xie Pengchong made his move to the Water Transportation Department, news came back soon.

"After the sixty or so merchant ships turned their backs, Peng Xie immediately launched an investigation, and with our secret push, he easily found Liu Shuo.

"When Peng Xie led people to Liu's mansion, Liu Shuo was holding this month's filial piety bank note and a list of merchants in his hand. The two adults did not fight out of respect, but Peng Xie entered Beijing that night.

"Calculating the time, the news should reach Yang Ji by the day before yesterday at the latest."

Xie Peng flicked a letter in his hand, raising his eyebrows with obvious joy.

Huo Rong was taking a bath through the curtain, and he didn't answer the letter until he came out from the curtain with his clothes on after washing. After reading it, he said: "Take the evidence of Fan Xin's embezzlement of Yang Ji's stolen money and find a way to let Peng Xie take it." Got it. Within ten days, I will get the result of Yang Ji's accountability for Fan Xin."

Xie Peng wrote it down, and said: "A letter came from the palace, confirming that the date of returning to court will be the second day of February next year. From now on, the old people of the Yonghe Palace will start to recall, and they will meet in Tongzhou next month. .

"At that time, you will need to go to see them. There are only a few people, but they are all caring people of the empress. The emperor means that if you need it, use it, and let them stay by your side if you don't need it."

Huo Rong wiped his hair and walked behind the curtain.

Xie Peng looked at his back, and said again: "After you go back, you will still inherit the former title of King Jin. The palace has been selected as the site of the original old palace. Of course, to avoid leaking secrets, it has not been moved for the time being. It can only be repaired after you go back. Things."

"Is there anything else?" A voice came from inside.

"It's gone." Xie Peng followed and saw the scar on his chest that hadn't been covered by his clothes. "Liang Feng is already on the way, and he will be there in about three days."

He said again: "Nan Kangwei's side is actually ready for you to withdraw, when do you plan to leave?"

Huo Rong picked out a robe and put it on, staring at the twilight outside the window without making a sound.

Although there is still half a year left, but based on the sensation that his return to Beijing will bring to the government and the public, there will inevitably be many trivial matters that need to be sorted out. The things will be done by someone, and the rest will not be considered a big deal. After all, he will need to handle them.

Logically, it was time to withdraw at this time, but he suddenly thought of Chang Ying——

The original plan was that he wanted to marry her before coming to Beijing, but what he didn't expect was that Changying's appearance would attract Yang Ji's criticism of him. It would be wayward to insist on getting married under such circumstances.

But if he wanted to leave like this, he couldn't do it no matter what.

He didn't know what kind of situation he would face after this parting, but it would undoubtedly be tricky.He might not have the energy to wait for her to look back.

He also had to admit that Xie Peng's words from earlier pierced his heart.

He wanted to know if the care he took for him three years ago contained a trace of wishful thinking. Now, three years later, when she went out and came back to see his injuries, did she also care about her?
The more you care about it, the harder it is to know yourself. How can it be possible to say that you don't care about rewards?

He didn't want to rob her, but he still cared about what she thought.

Maybe, when she comes back this time, no matter what, he should ask her for a reassurance first.

"Wait for the results from the Water Transportation Department first."

he said.

……

Huzhou, the prosperous city of Hangzhou, is even worse than Huzhou. Although many merchants have shifted their focus to Jinling and Suzhou due to sea troubles, no one is willing to give up this position completely.

Due to the short distance, Changying and Song Yu are both frequent visitors to Hangzhou. It doesn't matter if they walk around the city for the past two days.

But to Changying's surprise, in the past two days, she didn't see much news about the Japanese pirates disturbing the people, and Shaoqing inquired about the few spots that were clearly in trouble, and they were all quiet as usual.

Song Yu was a literati, so he didn't have much contact with these things in the past, but he is doing well now, but Chang Ying became suspicious.

Shiye and Song Yu went into their rooms separately, and she left Shaoqing and them down: "Didn't you say that Dongying people can be seen everywhere in the city? They often commit murder?"

Shaoqing was also puzzled: "Obviously yes, I saw you the day I went back, and I don't know why it suddenly stopped in the past few days!"

　I have been revising the manuscript all day today, and I have been sitting for twelve hours, and it is even later...

　　The second update will have to wait for a while, everyone will get up early tomorrow, go to bed first, and watch it tomorrow morning
