Chapter 428
The people in front of the Court changed their faces when they heard the speech.
Beizhou is no longer a problem that can be solved only by money and food. Moreover, the Treasury is empty and can't take so much money for disaster relief.
Once there is a riot to appease the poor victims, the officials who go to beizhou are the first to be unlucky.
At this time, the old emperor sent Xie Yu to beizhou and interrupted his investigation into the old case of Duke Heng. Obviously, it was partly because Xie Yu wanted Zhao Zhi's life on the roof before.
These things can't be said in the open, but they know it by thinking a little more.
The smile on Xie Heng's face faded for a few minutes. He waved his hand and asked all the maids to step back. The two little ones had a look of many words to ask, but they leaned over and looked up at the third childe.
Xiao Liu asked in a low voice, "why does the third brother suddenly want to leave?"
Little seven said, "it's very cold in beizhou... Is brother three really going?"
There was no expression on Xie's face, and he gave a faint "um".
Xie Heng handed the ball to the two small players and asked them to play on the side. He turned around and asked him with a straight face: "ah Yu, what do you think?"
"It's hard to disobey your life." Xie Yi said in a brief way: "besides, it's a bad thing to go to beizhou."
The warm wine on one side was quite complicated when he heard this.
The third childe seems to be fearless all the time.
The more difficult the job is, the better it can highlight this person's ability.
It is often said that fame and wealth are the easiest to get at the top of the wave.
The 18-year-old is the third grade Minister of the Ministry of punishment. If he goes to beizhou this time and completes the disaster relief, he must be promoted again after returning to Beijing.
Born in such a troubled world, only the higher you stand can you protect the people you want to protect.
What idle clouds and wild cranes are carefree. Now I don't have to think about it at all.
Xie Heng pondered for a moment, "OK, I'll let Qing Liu and Qing Qi go with you."
Qing Liu's martial arts are good. He can protect Xie Xuan and protect his life.
Qing Qi's medical skills are excellent. If the disaster in beizhou had just happened, Xie Yu would not have been caught off guard in the past.
"Elder brother..." Xie Xuan raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. She had a lot to say, but they all pressed down and said calmly, "I'll pack some clothes."
When he finished, he turned and left.
"Third brother!" Xie Wanjin shouted to him, but he didn't get any response from the man. He couldn't help being a little anxious. "I had hidden many concealed weapons and gadgets before. Go and turn them out and bring them to third brother."
The third childe also went to his yard.
Little six and seven looked at each other and ran to the house.
For a time, only Xie Heng and Wen Jiu stood in front of the court.
In winter, the warm sun shrouds the courtyard, the golden light is weak, and the warmth is faint.
Wenjiu drooped his eyes and thought for a moment, then walked down the corridor at random.
Xie Heng stretched out his hand and pulled her, "what are you going to do?"
Wen Jiu turned back and said, "I'll get some silver tickets for my third brother to bring."
The young man laughed, "young lady, you can't give him any more silver tickets to beizhou."
"I know." Wen Jiu looked at him with dark eyes and said seriously, "but when the third brother goes so far alone, I don't know how many corrupt officials will trip him. He has silver notes and thinks that our family is rich. It's easy to do things when he has enough confidence."
Xie Heng listened and thought that what Mrs. Shao said was reasonable.
Wen Jiu said, suddenly remembering something, "by the way, silver alone is not enough. I asked someone to collect almost the rice around the imperial capital a few days ago. Let the third brother take it to beizhou and solve the urgent problem first."
Xie Heng raised his sleeve, gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, and whispered, "it's still thoughtful of Mrs. Shao."
Wenjiu's cheek was slightly hot. He brushed his hand away and walked out. "While the third brother is still in the house, go and say more words with him. It's inconvenient for us to see him off when he goes out."
Those people outside are still waiting to see that the Xie brothers are at odds and strangers.
Xie Heng reached out and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, "I still won't go."
Wen jiumianlu didn't understand, "why?"
The young Fei's clothes were flying, his eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous, and his voice was a little hoarse. "I'm afraid if I say more words with him, I'll directly knock him out and hide in the house, so that people can easily look like him to go to beizhou for disaster relief."
Warm wine opened, stunned and speechless.
Xie Hengqu flicked the glass beads on her forehead and said in a low voice, "you don't have to worry, I'm just thinking. The third childe has his own way to go. I, the eldest brother, won't stop him."
There is no famous person in the world who can reach the world by holding and protecting others.
After the risk of impermanence of life and death, he received thousands of praise.
Wen Jiu said to himself, "I don't think it's that simple this time."
Xie Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, "huh?"
"Nothing. The third brother is leaving so suddenly. I have to call the stewards over, order good rice and let them start together." Wen Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the birds outside the eaves. Wen said in a voice: "I'll tell them a few words."
Xie Heng nodded, "I'll go to grandma and say it."
Their eyes crossed for a moment, and they turned and walked in different directions at the same time.
Half an hour later.
Jiang wucai and a few people with plenty of clothes and food walked to the gate of Xie's house with their bags on their backs. Qing Liu and Qing Qi dressed up as ordinary boys, walked to Xie's face and saluted, then stood back and walked with them.
Xie Wanjin came to the door. Without saying a word, he took Xie Yu to the back of the door, took out a black iron ring from his sleeve and took it to the third childe's hand.
Black iron is cold and clinging to the skin, and it is cold to the bone.
Xie Xuan raised his eyes and looked at him. He couldn't help feeling a little more confused.
"Third brother, don't look at me like that. It's like a bracelet brought by a girl, but it's much better to hide than knives and daggers." Xie Wanjin pointed to a small dot on the black iron ring: "The one on the left is a concealed weapon, and the one on the right is poison powder. When you go to beizhou, you must cherish your life. It's best not to use these things when they can't be used. If it's a crisis, you must not be soft on others... In fact, you won't be soft on others. In short, cherish your life! Cherish your life, third brother!"
Xie Xuan looked a little complicated. At least he didn't have the black iron ring like a broken bracelet. He took it off and threw it back to the fourth childe.
This is very face saving.
Just then.
Jin'er hurried up and presented a brocade bag that could not see whether the embroidery was a sparrow or some strange bird. "Third childe, this is given to you by Mrs. Shao. It can be opened in time of crisis to protect your life."
Xie Xuan frowned slightly, but he still reached out and took it.
He was just about to pass the plump coat on the side.
Jin'er hurriedly said, "my young lady said that this brocade bag is for the third childe's life. You must keep it close to yourself. You must not leave. And... This sachet is embroidered by miss six and childe seven..." it's a little ugly. It's also a piece of mind anyway.
The little maid swallowed the last sentence directly.
Xie Yu didn't speak, and took it easy to pin the ugly and unique sachet on his waist.
Just as he was saying this, the young steward under Wen Jiu, led by Li Ying, came to the door of the house, met Xie Yu and gave a brief explanation of his intention, "Shopkeeper Wen has explained that he will give the rice grain collected from the surrounding counties these days to the third childe. It's up to you how to distribute it. We are idle in Dijing. Let's go to beizhou with you to see the world for the time being. I hope the third childe won't dislike it."
These managers under the warm wine are good at doing business and making money. They are usually busy without touching the ground.
Now he says he has nothing to do. He wants to follow him to beizhou to see the world. Obviously, Wen Jiu has explained it before.
These individuals know arithmetic and business, which is much more useful than those officials who only receive salaries but don't do practical things.
Xie Xuan couldn't help looking back at the front of the court.
At that place, Wen Jiu was taking Xie's family to appreciate Mei and talking to them, but his eyes looked at him from time to time.
The cool young man hung a white jade pendant on his waist, and the fragrance bag of sparrows embroidered on a purple background was pinned aside.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was willing to take it with her.
It's inconvenient for them to see each other off during the third childe's trip.
The old emperor was suspicious. If Zhao Zhi died, the two brothers of the Xie family would make up as before. If they went to see Xie Yu out, they would only be more suspicious.
Wen Jiu looked at Xie Xuan and motioned him to look at the eaves with his eyes.
The latter looked along her line of sight and looked up and saw Xie Heng sitting on the eaves drinking.
The young man in red raised his glass and said in spoken English:
Third childe, have a nice trip.
