Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 853 Fifty-two loopholes

Because of the secret of their coming, Qiu Chuxing's study has not been cleaned up, but what they found is still very limited. This person is too cautious. He has been checking accounts and searching for Qiu Chuxing's correspondence for the past few days, and he has not found anything unusual. After investigation, nothing was found in the end.

   Song Che said that he had discovered this time, so Song Xiangyu took a few steps forward to get the ledger, turned it page by page, and frowned, "I don't see anything wrong."

Qiu Chuxing's account on the surface is well done, and the four pieces of the house are in line with his salary. He even records how much money the people from his hometown ask for favors, but what's the point of such an account? good-looking?

  Song Xiangyu looked at his father puzzled: "Dad, what did you see wrong?"

   "Didn't you find it? They have relatives from their hometown coming over every month." Song Che smiled and patted the ledger: "There are really enough people in Qiu Chuxing's hometown."

   After Song Che said this, Song Xiangyu immediately realized what was going on. He hurriedly took the account book again, and after turning over it carefully, he couldn't help but nod his head: "I see it! Dad, is this an explanation?"

   Explain that these people who came to ask for money are actually pirates who colluded with Qiu Chuxing?

   That is, Shen Hai and the others?

   If so.

  Song Che slid his finger to the date on the ledger, and said in a deep voice, "Is that true? Wait a minute and you'll know."

   It’s not too long after all.

Song Xiangyu snorted, sat next to him and wiped his face, suddenly feeling a little emotional: "I thought I would have to wait another ten or twenty years for something I've always wanted to do, but I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. Everything is like a dream. I don't know, I don't know if Ah Heng knows it."

   If Xiao Heng knew about it, he should be happy too, right?

His parents, the first prince and the first prince, died in a conspiracy, a shocking trap laid out in collusion with the imperial court officials. Anyway, it always deserves a little more comfort.

   Hearing Song Xiangyu mentioning Xiao Heng, Song Che's eyes carried a little warmth: "I don't know if it's going well with him."

   Yunnan has a lot of miasma, and Zilai is a place that many people shy away from. Su Rong and the others walked all the way, and many soldiers and people under them were infected with miasma, which made them very embarrassed.

   In this regard, Tang Yuan could only sigh: "I have tried my best to give preventive medicine, but this kind of thing is impossible to really prevent airtight, this is much better than expected."

The closer he got to Yunnan, the more Xiao Heng noticed the difference between this southwestern borderland and the capital. Tang Yuan saw that even Su Rong and the others couldn't adapt, so he patted a stone next to him and sat down, and said to Xiao Heng: "His Royal Highness, do you know why from the time of Taizu to the present, you have said that you want to conquer Yunnan countless times, but the rebellion here can't be completely quelled no matter what?"

It was already evening. The sky was full of clouds in the distance, and the colorful clouds surrounded the setting sun. From a distance, it looked magnificent and majestic. Xiao Heng was thoughtful. He was not unprepared before he came. Miss Liaomu San and Tang Yuan knew that Yunnan has a complex terrain and most of the natives have not yet been completely naturalized. The imperial power here is not as convincing as the words of the local chieftain. He hummed and sat beside Tang Yuan: "You have already said that, firstly, the natives are not strong enough to submit to the imperial court, secondly, they themselves listen to the chieftain's words more, and thirdly"

  Tang Yuan smiled and looked at him: "What is the third?"

   "Third, the local people have different beliefs, some believe in Buddhism, and some believe in witches."

  To make these people return to their hearts, you can only beat them, of course, you can't kill them. You can't beat all these natives to death.

It is already very good to be able to think of this, Tang Yuan looked at Xiao Heng with satisfaction and nodded: "Your Highness can think of this, it is already very good, what you said is, so we want to pacify the chaos, and we can't be greedy for merit and just blindly. This will not only make things impossible, but will also cause resentment.”

  The reason why Taizu set up the chieftain was precisely because the local people were really difficult to educate, so he thought of governing the locals with the locals, as long as the chieftain obeyed the imperial court.

   It’s just that after several generations, the toast has a mind of his own.

   Not to mention the current chieftain Mouton, who directly killed his own elder brother, who was in the position, and he almost killed them all. He wanted to kill the heirs left by the elder brother.

   Speaking of this, the smile on Tang Yuan's face disappeared, and he glanced at the sky and greeted everyone: "Hurry up and get on the road, it's getting late, and before it gets dark, get to the next inn before taking a rest."

  There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in Yunnan. If you come across these things at night, it will be enough to make people drink a pot.

  Tang Yuan was guarding Guizhou before. The situation there is similar to that here, and he has rich experience.

   Everyone listened to the words, got up and lined up and started to pack up and march.

When they came out this way, it was impossible to bring troops from the capital. They were followed by the imperial grandson and the imperial envoy. There were five or six hundred people in total. Because they came to pacify the chaos, they tried to avoid places on the way. The official's visit, all the way to the wind meal and camping, hurried on the road, and now that I finally arrived in Yunnan, I naturally have to be more careful.

After finishing the team, Su Rong ran up from behind to look at the imperial guards of honor and shook his head: "I said to avoid people's eyes and ears as much as possible, but in the end so many people have to eat, drink and live, where can they really avoid the inquiries of the people who are interested? I have already arrived in Yunnan. Now, Mouton even dared to kill the imperial censor of Dali City Tour, so we have to be more cautious in everything we do next, so that there is no accident at the last minute."

  Tang Yuan agreed, patted him on the shoulder and nodded: "Yeah, be more careful, let's do it, let's cheer up everyone, and it's not far from the inn in front."

   Seeing that we have arrived at Zhaotong, we will stop in Qujing for a while and then discuss with the Governor of Yunnan and the General Army Association.

Some of them had already arrived at the inn in advance to say hello. By the time they arrived, the inn and all the people in the inn had already greeted them. Su Rong led the people to inspect the inn first, and made sure that there was nothing. He was relieved and let the post house boil water to cook. He went up to the second floor with Xiao Heng, Tang Yuan and the third lady, and couldn't help shaking his head: "There are too many of us, and I'm afraid there may not be enough here. , I have to send someone to the town to buy something."

   More than 500 people have to eat and drink, which is a big deal.
