Chapter 328 – Past Events of the Su Family

Wei Yuan came out and bowed, and said aloud, “When there is no war, military households can be self-sufficient by cultivating military fields. Once the war is on, the court will need to deploy food and military supplies, and this is even reasonable.”

Chief Minister Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Yuan with a deep gaze.

Chu Xianglong smiled at his words, when it comes to warfare, this group of readers who only move their mouths, saying a hundred sentences, is not as good as Wei Yuan saying one sentence.

By asking for provisions and pay, half of his mission to return to the capital on this trip was accomplished.

Yuan Xiong, the left imperial historian, sighed in relief, somewhat surprised that Wei Yuan would support his ploy, realizing that in this way, he would be able to avoid the storm of the imperial examination fraud case and stay out of it.

On second thought, this matter is in line with his majesty’s heart, within the honored nobles to help, outside the barbarian army “pressure”, belong to the general trend, even if the opposition to this matter of the princes also see the situation.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan turned his words around and said, “However, before that, there is something that the humble minister would like to enlighten Your Majesty.”

The crowd followed the sound.

Wei Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, ignoring the sights of the princes.

Emperor Yuan Jing said, “Speak.”

“The gong under his hand found a group of jianghu people fighting to the death on the outskirts of the capital, so he went up to stop them, who knows that the side with more people instead of stopping, beheaded the people who surrounded the killers and escaped.”

Wei Yuan spoke with a strong voice, as if the truth of the matter was what he said in his mouth: “Before the deceased died, he shouted “Change in the North”.”

Upon hearing Wei Yuan’s words, all of the public officials present, including Emperor Yuan Jing, changed their faces.

Chu Xianglong jerked his head around and stared at Wei Yuan, then immediately withdrew his sight, not daring to take offense, and stalked his neck:

“There is a natural change in the north, the barbarians are plundering everywhere and provoking war …….”

Wei Yuan’s face was calm, “So, the barbarians blood slaughtered three thousand miles in the north, General Chu’s sentence of burning and looting will be put off?”

This sentence caused everyone present to be startled, and Emperor Yuan Jing even rose from his large chair, gazing straight at Qing Yi under the hall:

“Wei Yuan, make your words clear, what is a blood slaughter of three thousand miles …….. Ah?!”

Chu Xianglong busily said, “Your Majesty, absolutely nothing ……..”

“You shut up!”

Emperor Yuan Jing raised his hand to interrupt and gave him a cold look before turning to look at Wei Yuan, “What proof do you have.”

Wei Yuan reached into his arms, touched the scented bag, unraveled the red rope, a green smoke curled up and floated out, twisting and changing in mid-air into a blurred face, staring at the stagnant han, murmuring:

“Blood Slaughter 3,000 miles, Blood Slaughter 3,000 miles, please ask the court to send troops to crush ……….”

Wei Yuan continued, “This person’s corpse has been brought by the microconsultant and is just outside the palace gates, your majesty can send someone to examine the corpse, this person is from the north!”

Inside the imperial study, there was silence.

Emperor Yuan Jing slowly got up, his face as gloomy as water, and said word by word, “Examine the corpse!”

The old eunuch lowered his head and hurriedly went back to pass on the order, as if he was running away, not daring to utter an atmosphere.

Emperor Yuan Jing resided high up in the dragon chair, his complexion gloomy, not saying a word. The lower eunuchs exchanged silent glances, and Chu Xianglong also looked grim, glaring at Wei Yuan with his afterglow.

After waiting torturously for a quarter of an hour, the old eunuch returned and whispered in Emperor Yuan Jing’s ear.

Yuan Jing Di was silent for a long time, slowly said: “with the Division of Heavenly Supervisor Warlock into the palace to ask questions, I am tired, all of you love ministers also go to the side of the temple to rest for a few moments.”

He stared at Chu Xianglong and said in a deep voice, “You stay here.”

Saying so, he took the lead to get up and leave the imperial study.

The eunuchs were led by eunuchs to the side hall to rest.

………….

Inside the side hall.

The Minister of the Household held the tea, took a sip, looked sideways at the expressionless Wei Yuan, and tried, “Wei Gong, is this matter true?”

The officials immediately looked at Wei Yuan, who had a serious face and returned a cold look from the Minister of the Household, “Does Lord Zhao think that this seat is joking?”

“Dare not dare not.”

The Minister of the Household sighed: “Blood slaughter of three thousand miles, if this matter is true, how many people must die in the north? The sheriff’s offices are full of secret agents, why haven’t we received any news?”

Wei Yuan did not respond to the Minister of Household’s temptation.

Chief Minister Wang narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Two incense sticks of time passed, and the old eunuch entered the side hall and respectfully said, “His Majesty invites all the princes to return to the imperial study.”

Next, the white-clothed magician summoned from the Secretary for Heavenly Supervision questioned Chu Xianglong, and the answer was out of anticipation that everything Chu Xianglong said was true.

King Zhenbei had won a great victory over the barbarians in the north, but the guerrilla tactics of the barbarians in the north had indeed caused great trouble for King Zhenbei, exhausting the northern border troops.

The barbarian army was blocked from the border, and the Blood Slaughter 3,000 miles naturally ceased to exist.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere loosened with a huff, and everyone exhaled.

“Hmph!”

Chu Xianglong grunted coldly, “I wonder where Duke Wei got his information, nearly causing His Majesty and all the princes to misunderstand Your Highness. The last general searched and found that Your Highness didn’t offend Duke Wei either.”

Wei Yuan ignored it and stepped out, saying aloud, “This matter is of great concern, what this person said may be true, but it does not mean that the situation in the north is really like this.”

Chu Xianglong raised his eyebrows and was about to retort, but he saw that Chief Wang came out to concur:

“Your Majesty, I think Duke Wei has a point. The matter is too important to be neglected. It must be thoroughly investigated.”

Driven by Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan, the princes responded.

Emperor Yuan Jing mused, “What do you all think about this matter?”

Chief Minister Wang said, “Your Majesty can continue to collect grain, grass, and military pay and ship them to Chuzhou. At the same time, send another team of imperial guards along to the northern border to investigate this case thoroughly.”

Wei Yuan said, “I second the motion.”

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, “Let’s do it.”

………..

Hsu Mansion.

Su Su held the red umbrella that shielded her from the sun and sat on the eaves of the house, looking at the little doudoune moncler outlet in the yard who were zigzagging.

In the next hall, Li Miao was truly speaking with the Xu family’s main mother and young lady.

Auntie and Xu Ling Yue were in an unattractive mood once they heard that another guest had borrowed their home.

The former feels that if this continues, the house will become a good house. The latter felt that the woman was too beautiful and a threat to herself.

In addition to the woman in the Taoist robes, the woman in white clothes like snow on the outside made Xu Lingyue literally have thorns in her back, feeling that relying only on her looks, she not only had no chance of winning, but was even slightly inferior.

The woman with the red umbrella had an unspeakable charm that was particularly seductive.

However, after hearing that Li Miaozhen was Xu Qi’an’s savior, Auntie and Xu Lingyue immediately changed their attitudes, adding a few more moments of gratitude and welcome from the bottom of their hearts.

“The Xu family is worthy of being a martial artist family, I see that young lady’s child is still young and has to start laying the foundation for practicing martial arts.” Li Miaozhen was still very knowledgeable about human affairs, and didn’t forget to brag a bit while chatting.

The aunt was saddened when she heard this, and said helplessly, “I would have liked her to study for a few years, not to say that she was good at everything in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but at least she should know how to read and write, but unfortunately, she is a demented child.”

That child is quite naive, but how can he be a fool? Xu Qi’an’s cousin is a student of Yunlu Academy, how could he not teach his sister to read? Li Miaozhen really thought about it and said:

“Miaochen borrowed the Xu Mansion, and in her spare time, she can help enlighten the young lady’s child.”

Her thoughts were that Xu Xinnian was too busy with his studies to care about teaching his youngest sister to read, while Xu Qi’an and Xu Pingzhi were martial artists who preferred to let the Xu family’s youngest daughter practice martial arts.

Anyway, it’s just teaching kids for a while without delay.

The aunt froze and was about to refuse, but Xu Lingyue agreed before her, her smile implied, “In that case, thank you, Taoist Li.”

Li Miaozhen was extremely favorably disposed towards this clear young girl with a gentle smile and smiled, “A show of hands.”

When she finished speaking, she realized that the eyes of the Xu family’s main mother were looking at her with a little more pity and sympathy.

………

“Sister, sister, are you really a ghost.”

Xu Lingyin stood in a horse stance, her two stubby calves trembling slightly as she angled her head up and looked at Su Su on the eaves of the house.

“Yeah, I’ll eat people, aren’t you afraid?” Suu threatened.

“Fear!” Xu Suoyin revealed a scared expression.

Su Su hemmed and hawed, somewhat pleased with herself as she hummed a little tune under her breath and looked at the azure sky in a daze.

I don’t know how long it took, but the two girls, one small and one large, were gone from the yard.

“Sister, Sister …….”

The shout came from below, and Su Su looked down, the tiny girl child stood under the eaves, her head raised, her black and white eyes staring at her.

“Can you come down?” The little girl said.

Su Su lightly landed in the courtyard, looking down at the hair whirl on Xu Ling Yue’s head, and said without any good humor, “What for.”

Xu Lingyin didn’t say anything and furtively beckoned her to follow her.

Su Su wistfully puzzled, followed, all the way to the kitchen, the smoke and fire came to the face, the little bean ding struggled to cross the threshold, turned back and said:

“Come on sis.”

In the kitchen, the little black skin of the southern border is burning the fire, and the hot oil is rolling in the pot, Xu Su Jingyin pulls Su Su to the side of the pot and lifts her face, expectantly saying:

“Sister can you climb in by yourself.”

Su Su’s face froze abruptly.

…………

Xu Qi’an scattered duty back to the house, introduced Li Miaozhen to Uncle Xu, who originally thought it was his nephew’s friend, and nodded his head with the frame of an elder.

Calmly, he opened his mouth, “Where is Daoist Li practicing ah.”

“She is the Heavenly Sect’s Holy Maiden, one of the protagonists of the Celestials’ Battle.” Xu Qi’an added.

“……..”

Xu Pingzhi almost got up and saluted, shouting, Greetings, Your Excellency, the Holy Maiden.

“She befriended me when we were in Yunzhou ………” Xu Qi’an explained briefly.

Xu Pingzhi nodded his head blankly, his heart was restless, his thoughts rising and falling.

Dailang even knows even the Heavenly Sect s holy maiden, his connections are getting wider and his strength is getting higher, and I have only just broken through to the God Refining Realm ……… really have made a fortune.

Uncle Xu thought with relief, and felt that the gap between himself and his nephew was getting wider and wider, and a sense of loss welled up in his heart.

Take another look at the son, this kid to participate in the temple examination, is a serious court official, progress, although not as exaggerated as Ning Banquet, but is already a step up, people in the dragon phoenix.

I’ve been able to live up to my ancestors …….. It’s a pity that my elder brother died so young and couldn’t see his son and nephew so successful ………

At this time, Xu New Year said in a deep voice, “Big brother, Miss Wang Clan has asked me to swim in the lake again.”

Does Miss Wang Clan like my family’s Erlang? Xu Qi’an’s heart fluttered, becoming more and more certain of her suspicions.

When the imperial examination fraud case, Miss Wang family gave him “tipped off”, the content is true, this is very unusual.

At this point, in connection with the two invitations to swim in the lake, it can almost be concluded that that Wang family lady is interested in Erlang and is very offensive.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an smiled, “So you agree.”

Xu New Year let out a “heh”, “I refused on the grounds that the Imperial Examination was imminent.”

“Well done, Er Lang ………” Xu Qi’an patted his shoulder and praised, “A model for my generation.”

Oro mocked Jiro in a conspiratorial manner.

A model for my generation? Poor choice of words, meh, uneducated big brother …….. Jiro also mentally taunts Oro.

………..

Finishing dinner, Xu Qi’an arrived outside Li Miaozhen’s room and was about to knock on the door when he heard the sound of Su Su talking from inside:

“Master, the child in this house is horrible, she, she tried to eat me and heated a pot of oil.”

“Children’s words are reckless and act the same way, no need to care.” Li Miaozhen casually perfunctory.

“No ah, I can feel that she is not joking, that burning compelling eyes ………” Su Su said a few words, see Li Miaozhen lack of interest, angry grunt, called out:

“Stinky man, your sister is going to eat me.”

As soon as the words fell, the door to the room opened automatically, and Su Su pinched her small waist, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at him with a puff of anger.

Ah, this ……. I remember, my aunt told her that ghosts are delicious when fried, and this stupid kid not only took it seriously, but remembered it for so long?

So, this memory is obviously more than enough to recite English words, how come you can’t even memorize the Three Character Classic?

Xu Qi’an mentally spat while digressing, “Susu, I remember you said that if I promised you two requests, you would be my concubine for three years.”

Li Miaozhen sniffed and glared fiercely at Su Su.

On the subject of women’s flavor, the voluptuous ghost, who was softer and more seductive than her master, pinched her waist and said, “That’s right! You help me remake my flesh, and then find out for me why my father was beheaded back then.

“Not only will I be your concubine for three years, I will also give you a son.”

In fact, it didn’t matter if she was a concubine or not, Xu Qi’an had agreed to her in the first place because he felt a little overly proud of bullying a female ghost.

Now since Li Miaozhen had come to the capital, he wouldn’t forget the original agreement.

Of course, if Su Su has to repay, being a concubine is also possible.

Be sure to let Song Qing shape a 36D flesh body, I myself is indifferent la, but no more bitter can not be bitter children ……… He silently mouthed a sentence and looked at Li Miaozhen:

“Let’s start with everything you know.”

The expressions of the master and servant duo became serious, and Li Miaozhen said: ”Su Su was born in Jiangzhou, and her father was the governor of Jiangzhou. In the 15th year of Yuanjing, he was questioned and beheaded, and originally, the women of his family would have been enrolled in the Department of Education.

“Her mother was a fierce character, unwilling to join the Education Department as a prostitute, and a cup of poisoned wine poisoned and killed all the women, including Su Su. However, she had a young brother who was away at school at the time and was lucky to escape.

“On this trip to the capital, I took Su Su on a detour to Jiangzhou, wanting to look into the past events of that year. I didn’t expect to find a strange thing.”
