Return of the Swallow

"Is the prince continue to search for people today?" Qin Yining lowered his head and threaded needles and asked people around him at random.

Jiyun and Bingtang said in unison, "Yes."

The two looked at each other with a smile, and sent a cloud to say, "Today I still listen to Tang Xiu, Mr. Xie persuades the prince to stop for the time being, and don't let the uncle Zhongyi understand that we are provoking, but the prince refuses to listen."

"Huzi said the same. The prince is now full of anger, just wanting to express this sigh for the princess. Previously, they found four, killed two, and there are two remaining. They can't find it. The prince is now annoyed. These two people, didn't the prince still say when he came back yesterday, can those two fly away with wings?"

The two maids couldn't help laughing as they spoke.

Qin Yining also laughed, "How can people fly away with their wings."

"Naturally it can't."

Qin Yining, the treasurer of the Indian shopkeeper, is now considered to be a master, and even so many fine tiger guards have not been found out, so she came back, and saw Qiu Feishan later, she should really be grateful.

Squeezing the tip of the needle at the temple, Qin Yining continued to needle and thread, but because of a sudden thought of something, his hand slowed down again.

"You said, the sage arranged Uncle Zhongyi to be the county magistrate, and the prince to be the imperial envoy to supervise the imperial tomb. The two of them are in Huichuan, who is older?"

Jiyun and Bingtang were both stunned.

Bingtang analyzed and said, "Depending on the title, the prince is naturally the elder, and depending on the official position, the prince is also the one who has a larger commission."

Qin Yining said, "That was about repairing the imperial tomb. But now the saint has not allocated money, and the imperial tomb has not yet started, so regardless of the repair of the imperial tomb, in Huichuan County, it is in charge. It should be the county magistrate who is responsible for all affairs in the yamen."

"You are right." Jiyun nodded, "What did the princess think of?"

Qin Yining shook his head and said, "I was thinking that the prince let more than a hundred fine tiger guards and the guards of the palace search in the city, just like searching his own back garden. It has been accomplished in one day or two days, so many days have passed. , I’m afraid there’s already been a lot of trouble. Lu Heng was born in a family and he was a proud son of heaven since he was a child. He is quite arrogant. Would he easily accept the prince’s approach?"

Bingtang and Jiyun shook their heads together.

Naturally it can't.

Lu Heng carried a kind of natural arrogance on his body. That arrogance had nothing to do with what he wore and what he did. Even when he was down, he seemed to be completely different from ordinary people.

Qin Yining rubbed his eyebrows and said: "So in my opinion, Uncle Zhongyi will definitely do something against the prince, but he can never win by force. Now that he is arranged by the sage to leave Beijing, he obviously has lost the sacred heart. It’s impossible for him to scratch the tiger’s beard at this time, so the impeachment of the prince cannot be immediate."

Jiyun and Bingtang listened quietly.

Qin Yining thought for a long time and finally came to a conclusion, "So I think Uncle Zhongyi should suppress the prince economically."

"Wang, what do you mean?"

"The family of the Lu family is huge and the network is complex, and the wealth it possesses is beyond our imagination. When the Qin family first moved into the capital, my father had to consider avoiding its edge, so I think the children of the family were anxious and used money. Coming to hit people should be the most common way."

"But we don't have much money to ask to go to the Lu family."

"I mean, right now, isn't the prince arranging people to hunt? These hunting soldiers are naturally pierced in the eyes of Uncle Zhong Yi, so they only need to monopolize the whole city's food, so that these people have no food to eat. They Naturally, I don’t have the energy to hunt, and at the same time, I can give the prince a good start."

Jiyun and Bingtang became a little nervous when they heard this, "Then what should we do?"

Qin Yining put down the work on his hands, stood up while massaging his fingers, hesitatingly said: "In fact, it is very easy to solve. Jiyun."

Jiyun immediately responded, and walked to Qin Yining's side, Qin Yining whispered, "Go to the shopkeeper of India and say..."

Jiyun nodded when he heard the words, "Yes, the slave and maid got it. It's just that this is also your guess, what if your preparations don't come in handy?"

"It's okay, look at the weather, how long has it been raining? We haven't stopped since we left the capital. Sooner or later, it will come in handy."

After hearing this, Jiyun nodded solemnly.

Just as Jiyun went out again to help Qin Yining "buy", in the Lu Mansion, Lu Heng stood by the window with a sinking hand.

"Uncle, the city is still raging today. The soldiers and horses of the Prince Zhongshun searched around, digging three feet in the ground. Our people talked with each other several times, but the group of people in the palace was murderous, and they called us with a stare. People panicked."

Lu Heng shook his head, and a mocking smile on his lips, "How much do you expect him to be a man with mud legs? With a few soldiers, he is arrogant and boundless. He refused to listen to my advice. Then don't blame me for sweeping his majesty."

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Let our family go out and even all the local shops, and are not allowed to provide food for the people in the palace. I want to see, no matter how great he is, can he bring the soldiers who can't eat enough!"

"Yes, uncle."

The subordinates retreated excitedly.

Lu Heng couldn't help rubbing his hands together.

Instead, he wanted to see how the soldiers were hungry and swayed.At that time, Pang Zhixi was so anxious that she had nothing to do, and she could also let Qin Yining take a good look at what kind of reckless husband she married.

At the beginning of June, the rain still did not stop, and the entire Huichuan County seemed to be forgotten and left in the ditch. Everywhere was wet and muddy.

It is precisely because of this that the crops are not growing well, and ordinary people are sad and start to save food.The grain prices at the grain shop Mipu began to rise, and they were more than twice as high as usual.

The people hesitated to eat food.

The soldiers of the palace can't eat food.

It's just that Huzi, who is in charge of purchasing today, didn't buy anything.

"My lord, the rice shop in the city deceived people too much. I clearly saw that they had food in stock, but they didn't sell it. Only the small portion they were willing to sell was still mixed with sand, and the price was twice as high as before. I argued with them, and it was noisy. Almost started fighting."

Huzi said angrily, "Besides, I have gone to several food shops. We need a lot of food. I still consider this business to be a good deal. I didn't expect that no matter how many shops I went to, the result would be the same. Even the shopkeeper yelled to me, saying that if the high-priced food mixed with sand is not eaten, they can only eat the soil in the future. Whether they sell it or not, can we still grab it? ?"
