Chapter 481
By the time we got to xinpingcheng, it was already dark. Generally, the gate will be closed by nightfall. Yuxi was very worried and said, "it's going to be delayed for one night. It's not sure that the general will lead his troops into the city after two hours tomorrow morning."
The coachman said, "don't worry, madam. Even if the gate is closed, I can get into the city." Mr. Xia specially arranged for him to see his wife off. It must be more than just driving.
When he came to the gate, he saw that it was closed. However, the coachman yelled that there was an urgent military situation to be sent to the capital, and the gate was soon opened.
At this meeting, the coachman and master Yang have changed positions. The coachman has become a military master, and master Yang has become a coachman. As for the Corydalis, it's in the car.
The small leader of the city gate checked the token handed out by the driver, and then immediately opened the city gate. Out of the gate, looking at a carriage, very strange, asked: "who is in this carriage?" Yucheng often has emergency documents sent to the capital, so as long as there is a token, you can go there.
The coachman said with a cold face, "don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
After entering the post, the coachman took master Yang to the post station. Yuxi and Corydalis get on and off the carriage on the way, and then go to the magistrate's Yamen according to the map. By this time, magistrate Tan had fallen asleep.
Yuxi said to the porter, "please show this letter to your magistrate. He will meet me after reading it." With these words, corydalis gave five Liang silver to the porter.
When the porter heard that Yuxi said it was an important matter, he did not dare to delay. He immediately took the letter in, then closed the door and confiscated the silver.
Corydalis said with a smile: "I'm still magistrate tan. I haven't gone to bed yet. I'm reading zongjuan in my bedroom. See the steward sent a letter, immediately opened to see, after reading said: "please welcome the guests in."
After a while, Yuxi followed the housekeeper into the magistrate's Yamen. Yuxi had known all about Tan Tuo before, but it was the first time to meet him.
Magistrate Tan's eyes were very sharp. He only looked at Yuxi and Corydalis, and knew that they were women: "I don't know why the two girls were dressed like this." Yuxi and Corydalis are both men's clothes.
Yuxi said with a smile, "magistrate Tan, I'm the fourth aunt of the Han family. I've heard about the name of magistrate tan all the time. I'm very lucky to see him today. "
Tan Tuo's face changed and he asked, "madam, is there something wrong with Yucheng?" Tan Tuo's first reaction was that something had changed in Yucheng. Otherwise, Yuxi, as Yunqing's wife, can't appear in Xinping city in the middle of the night.
Yuxi said: "don't worry, magistrate tan. The general is very good and Yucheng is also very good. I came here this time to tell you something. "
Knowing that Yunqing didn't have an accident with Yucheng, magistrate Tan was relieved. But soon, he raised his spirits again and said, "madam, what can I do for you?"
Corydalis wondered and asked, "don't you worry? Is the letter true and the person false?" Corydalis was speechless to the nerve of magistrate tan. I don't need to verify my identity. I just talk about things.
Magistrate Tan said with a smile, "I still have this ability." Yuxi speaks authentic Beijing dialect, and his appearance is similar to what he knows. If there is another letter, how can he admit his mistake. What's more, even if you admit your mistake, it will be for him to discuss the matter, not for him to take the initiative. If you find something wrong, just let someone catch it.
Yuxi had no choice but to smile and said, "you think everyone is the same as you!" This meeting is Tan Tuo's territory.
Magistrate Tan was not in the mood to chat and asked, "what can I do for you, madam?" Yuxi can disguise herself as a man. It's absolutely a big deal.
With these words, magistrate Tan immediately asked the steward to guard outside, and no one was allowed to get close to him. Then he said to Yuxi, "madam, you can speak now."
Yuxi said: "we have the evidence of Xu family's treason. The general wants to check Xu family." After a pause, he said to magistrate Tan: "magistrate Tan should know the current situation of the border town, right? Since the beginning of the year, the imperial court has appropriated 1.8 million silver. But the silver is only enough for the army's pay, but there is no money left for 100000 soldiers to spend the winter. "
Magistrate Tan is not stupid, how can he not know what Yuxi's words mean: "do you want to check the Xu family and use the Xu family's money to buy materials for the winter?" Seeing Yuxi nodding, magistrate Tan flatly refused and said, "do you know that if you do this, Yunqing will be dismissed, or even escorted back to the capital for questioning?" Without any approval, Yunqing dares to take his troops to the house, and wants to use the money he has copied without permission, which is a big taboo of the superior.
Yuxi naturally knows that the consequences are very serious, otherwise how could she come here specially: "so, I want to ask magistrate Tan to help me with this matter."
Seeing that Yuxi was not frightened by what he said, magistrate Tan asked, "madam, what do you want me to do?" You can see that 100% is not a good thing.
Yuxi said her plan. Yuxi's plan is not complicated. He hopes that magistrate Tan will come forward and ask Yunqing to help. Yunqing doesn't have the authority to copy Xu's house, but with enough evidence, magistrate Tan has the right to copy Xu's house.
Magistrate Tan didn't have to listen to the next words. Just these words, he knew Yuxi's plan: "madam, you don't want me to take the initiative to compromise, and suggest to the prince and Yu Xiang that the money copied from the Xu family should be used as military expenditure?" If so, the calculation is too accurate. At that time, Yunqing will not take any risks, but he will take all the risks.
Yuxi smile, said: "Mr. Tan, my general will not do such a thing." With these words, she said what she thought.
Yuxi's meaning is that the magistrate Tan will come forward to take charge of the family. But the magistrate Tan is worried that the Xu family has been in xinpingcheng for so many years, so he can only turn to Yunqing for help. As a result, when Yunqing saw the money, he wanted to use it to buy winter supplies. Finish saying own idea, jade Xi says toward Tan Zhi Fu: "adult, do you see my idea how?"
Magistrate Tan asked, "who came up with this method?" In this way, cloud engine will be held responsible, but the responsibility is not great.
Yuxi said, "this is the idea of my husband's staff. My Lord, after checking the Xu family, the money doesn't need to be sent back to Yucheng, but directly used to pay the Wu family's debt. What do you think, my lord? "
"Can my wife give me a chance to refuse?" Tan said Magistrate Tan knows very well that if he doesn't give the money to Yunqing, he will be asked to leave by the people above. At that time, few people will be able to enter the Treasury. Instead of this, it's better to let Yunqing buy winter supplies for the soldiers.
Yuxi looked at magistrate Tan not angry, look very calm, mood also immediately relaxed, said: "if you don't give adults the opportunity to refuse, I will not come." With these words, Yuxi said to magistrate Tan, "I'll replace the 100000 officers and soldiers in Yucheng. Thank you."
Magistrate Tan felt ashamed of the ceremony and said, "it's my wife who is really selfless. If it's not my wife, I don't know where those soldiers' orphans are now." There are few people who admire the life of magistrate Tan, but Yuxi's behavior makes him admire.
Yu Xi's eyes flashed with gloom and said, "my ability is limited. I can only help those orphans, but the orphans of the common people can't help them." In fact, there are more than 500 people in the kindergartens now, and more than 100 people have been added during this period. Most of the new mothers are still alive, but they are unable to raise so many children. Originally, according to the regulations, it was not allowed, but mother Qu said that in case someone committed suicide in order to send their children to the kindergartens, good things would turn into bad things.
Measured for a while, jade Xi also decided to give way. If you are really unable to raise children, you can also be sent to a kindergarten. Of course, the premise cannot be changed.
"It's very rare," Tan said
Yuxi asked: "so, the magistrate agreed?" Seeing that magistrate Tan nodded, Yuxi was stunned. She thought it would take a lot of talking, but she didn't expect that magistrate Tan was so easy to speak. It was so smooth that Yuxi was not sure.
Magistrate Tan asked, "I don't know when general Yun will arrive? It's better to arrive before dawn. If you arrive before dawn, the Xu family may go out. " Once out, it's not easy to catch. Xinpingcheng is not small, and the Xu family has been in business for so many years, so it's not difficult to find a hiding place.
Yuxi said: "it should be able to arrive before dawn!" Mr. Xia and Mr. Chen must know what magistrate Tan can think of, so Yuxi can be sure that Yunqing will arrive at xinpingcheng before dawn.
Magistrate Tan stood up and said, "madam, let me arrange it." Seeing that Corydalis blocked his way, magistrate Tan turned to look at Yuxi and said, "madam, don't you believe me?"
Yuxi said with a smile: "how can I trust you, but Corydalis is good at martial arts. Let Corydalis follow you, and your safety is guaranteed."
Although Tan Zhifu was uncomfortable, he didn't deny it. He said, "since my wife feels so good, let this Corydalis girl follow me. But I hope Miss Corydalis won't speak Although Corydalis looks like a man, as soon as she opens her mouth, she knows that she is a woman.
Corydalis heard this, asked Yuxi, said: "madam, how do you do?" Leaving Yuxi alone here, corydalis is not at ease.
Yuxi laughed and said, "I'll wait here. As for my safety, you don't have to worry. Is your master here? " With these words, Yuxi said to Mr. Tan: "Mr. Tan, when this matter falls down, my general and I will compensate you." It's not that I don't believe in Tan Tuo. It's just that this matter is too important to make a mistake.
Tan Zhifu said: "no, general Yun and his wife are also for the 100000 soldiers in the border town." It depends on the fact that Yunqing is for the public, otherwise how can he cooperate this time.
PS: sorry, I thought I would be back in the afternoon, but I didn't get home until eight. Second, after eleven o'clock, let's see it tomorrow!
