After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 84 Vice

Chu Dingguo suddenly realized it and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the last general has been reckless."

Ye Qinghuai looked at him with some worry and said thoughtfully: "You should investigate Du Zhengen's matter as usual, keep the evidence that should be preserved, and record the confessions that should be recorded. You don't need to pay attention to other things."

After saying that, Ye Qinghuai thought for a while and added: "I will be the commander of the Forbidden Army for the time being. Please report everything to me and don't make decisions without authorization."

"Yes. The last general takes the order!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, we are here, waiting in the side hall." Li Baoquan's voice sounded outside the door.

"Li Baoquan, come in." Ye Qinghuai said.

Li Baoquan opened the door and walked in.

Ye Qinghuai noticed that he looked a little tired.

"Li Baoquan, take this imperial edict, take Chu Dingguo with you, and go to the Youya Mansion Office to announce the edict. After the announcement, the inner court will write an announcement based on this imperial edict and post it in front of the Youya Mansion Office."

Ye Qinghuai handed the prepared edict to Li Baoquan.

Li Baoquan accepted the order respectfully and retired one after another with Chu Dingguo.

As soon as the two of them went out, Ye Qinghuai's brows furrowed.

This Chu Dingguo is really worrying.

Ye Qinghuai talked to him all morning, and his mouth was dry. This boy was loyal, but he was too straightforward. Not to mention an old fox like Gu Shihai and Chen Yuansi, even someone of Luo Zichang's level could give him a drink.

Yes.

But there is no one available at the moment, and what the newly appointed General Wu Wei wants to do is to offend people. He has an upright temperament, which may have a miraculous effect.

Ye Qinghuai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. The tea was completely cold.

She was only wearing her middle coat, which was a little thin, and she couldn't help but shudder.

"Chang Shoucheng, hot tea." Ye Qinghuai called outside.

When Li Baoquan was away, Chang Shoucheng, the eunuch in charge of Jingshou Palace, was usually waiting.

Soon, Chang Shoucheng came in with hot tea.

"You're quite fast." Ye Qinghuai lamented his speed.

Chang Shoucheng poured the tea and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is busy in the morning, and the servants didn't dare to disturb you, and they didn't dare to come in to refill the tea, so they stayed outside and brewed pot after pot of tea."

"Which pot is this?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"The sixth pot." He answered very quickly.

Ye Qinghuai nodded and took a sip of tea. The water temperature was suitable and it was Longdu Royal Bud. This kind of tea is most fragrant after the third or fourth brew. Counting the time, there were almost exactly six pots in the morning.

It seems that he didn't lie.

Ye Qinghuai then ordered: "Go and call the people waiting in the side hall, and then serve a pot of hot tea."

Chang Shoucheng responded cheerfully and left in a hurry.

——

More than two months have passed since the last time Ye Qinghuai and Li Wenqing met in the Qinxian Hall.

At that time, the Chinese New Year had just passed, and the warm charcoal was still burning in the house. But now it is mid-spring when the flowers are in full bloom.

The situation in the DPRK is also very different.

"Li Qing, you look much better than when you came last time." Ye Qinghuai said while inviting him to drink tea.

"Thanks to your Majesty's concern, I am afraid." Li Wenqing said.

"Is everything okay at home?" Ye Qinghuai asked kindly.

When Li Wenqing heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes full of gratitude.

He stood up, gave a big salute to Ye Qinghuai, and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your help to my mother."

Ye Qinghuai was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with your parents?"

Li Wenqing was startled by her question, but he quickly regained his composure and said: "I guess your Majesty is busy with political affairs, and the servants haven't had time to reply yet. On the day when Wei Chen was ordered to supervise the case of Gu Chang Shi raping a girl, my mother went out to buy groceries.

I was surrounded by a few gangsters and almost got into trouble, but fortunately I was rescued by people sent by His Majesty to keep a close eye on me. After they sent my mother back to her humble home, they told my mother not to move around in the near future. They were the ones doing all the shopping at home these days.

Helping with errands."

After saying that, he saluted Ye Qinghuai again, and it was obvious that he was truly grateful.

"How do you know it's the person I sent?" Ye Qinghuai asked with a frown.

"That's what they said. I wanted to thank them, but they refused to accept it no matter what. They said it was the emperor's order and I felt ashamed to receive it. Your Majesty has taken care of me so much, and I can't repay you for being so heartbroken."

Ye Qinghuai was stunned by what he said.

She has never given such an order. What's more, how can she have such a person available outside the palace?

But then she thought about it and realized that she was indeed worried about Li Wenqing's safety.

Then she suddenly remembered that although she had not personally sent anyone to follow and protect Li's mother, she had asked Lu Yanchen to let his "commercial friends" take care of Li Wenqing.

But she just mentioned, how could Lu Yanchen be so meticulous? Even Li Wenqing's mother sent people to keep an eye on him, and she could still help him with the purchase without charging a penny.

This is really too detailed.

We can only wait until he wakes up to find out.

"I remember, this is what happened. As long as nothing happens to you, please." Ye Qinghuai suppressed the doubts in his heart and smiled at Li Wenqing.

After the greetings, Ye Qinghuai got to the point: "Li Qing, I called you here today because I want to ask how Gu Haiwang's case is going?"

Li Wenqing had already expected that the emperor's summons today was for this matter. He said sternly: "Shopkeeper Wang of Heshun Cloth Shop has a daughter named Wang Siyun, who is fourteen years old. When Gu Hai went to Heshun Cloth Shop to pick up new year's goods, he said this

The little girl fell in love at first sight and proposed to take her as a concubine. However, Wang Siyun was engaged, so the marriage was declined by shopkeeper Wang. A few years later, Gu Haiwang came to visit her twice more. According to shopkeeper Wang and neighbors, the two were unable to get married.

After the deal was settled, Gu Haiwang once led his men to smash the shop floor of Heshun Cloth Shop."

After hearing this, Ye Qinghuai thought for a moment and asked, "The Gu family is a prominent family in the capital, Gu Haiwang is the eldest son, the Wang family is just a small businessman, and the daughter is far too far away to be a concubine. Why did she refuse this marriage?"

"

"According to Shopkeeper Wang, Wang Siyun is married to his sworn brother's son. He is unwilling to break the contract and affect the family relationship between the two families. On the other hand..." Li Wenqing hesitated and said, "Gu Changshi is in the capital.

The reputation in the store is not very good, and shopkeeper Wang is worried that his daughter will be punished if she marries him."

Ye Qinghuai frowned: "Suffered? What did you suffer?"

Li Wenqing thought for a while, sorted out his words, and said: "The following are mostly rumors, and the ministers have not obtained evidence yet. There are rumors in Beijing that Gu Changshi likes young girls who have not yet reached puberty, especially those who are thin and tender."

There have been several cases in the country where it was said that Gu Changshi killed a little girl in a brothel, but in the end he got better and could not be prosecuted."

Ye Qinghuai was furious after hearing this.

Gu Haiwang actually has such a bad habit?

"Have you seen that Wang Siyun? What does she look like? But... the one Gu Haiwang likes?"

Li Wenqing took a deep breath and replied: "Weichen didn't see her. She is missing."
