Chapter 518 Stand still

Yu Xiaolian chatted with the old housekeeper for a whole afternoon and learned a lot of news from him.

This old butler was not Mr. Yin's butler. He was sent by Crown Prince Cheng to guard the courtyard after Mr. Yin's family was confiscated. Strictly speaking, he was not a housekeeper.

Now that the new owner of the house has arrived, he has to go back to Prince Cheng.

According to the old housekeeper, Prince Cheng lives across the street from this house, not very far from here.

After Mr. Yin committed a crime, his whole family was beheaded in public. His relatives who were more distant from his family were lucky enough to survive and were exiled to a bitter and cold place.

As for the later salt transport envoy Mr. You, his fate was not much better than that of Mr. Yin. He was also beheaded by the emperor, but his family was less implicated.

Long Yan was so angry that nearly a thousand people were punished, which also caused the entire Yangzhou officialdom to fall into an unprecedented shock, and everyone was in danger.

There are only a few people who are lucky enough not to be implicated. Cao Guangqiao, the Lianghuai Salt Transport Station, is the lucky person who is not implicated.

Cao Guangqiao, Yu Xiaolian remembered this person’s name.

When I was reading at that time, Su Jingchen's first time as an imperial envoy was to investigate corruption in the salt transportation between Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers in the name of Salt Patrol Censor.

The Cao Guangqiao in the book is a truly corrupt official who was convicted by Su Jingchen and sent to prison.

What exactly went wrong?

Why did the emperor punish so many people and only let Cao Guangqiao go?

Yu Xiaolian sent the old housekeeper away in confusion, then called brothers Wei Guang and Wei Xiong and asked them to go out and inquire about Cao Guangqiao.

"Be careful, don't make inquiries in a big way, ask as much as you can, just don't let anyone find out!" Yu Xiaolian warned.

"Yes, madam, don't worry, we will be careful!"

After the two brothers from the Wei family took the order and went out, Yu Xiaolian found that the entire house had been wiped down by the servants, and the bedding was neatly placed on the bed, and the windows were opened for ventilation.

"Oh, the south is great, but the north is covered in ice and snow at this time!" Yu Xiaolian sighed.

"Madam, the girl seems to be hungry and has been looking for you!" Mrs. Dai came over to look for Yu Xiaolian with Su Yuntong in her arms.

After Yu Xiaolian gave birth to the child, she had enough milk and water, so she did not try to find a nurse for the child, but chose to feed it herself.

Yu Xiaolian firmly believes that only the children she feeds will kiss her.

She couldn't bear to see her child being kissed by someone else more than herself.

Yu Xiaolian had just fed the child here, but before dinner could be arranged, Su Jingchen came back with He Jian.

Not long after, brothers Wei Guang and Wei Xiong also came back.

Yu Xiaolian heard the news from both sides and didn't know why Cao Guangqiao was able to escape the disaster.

Cao Guangqiao is a bit interesting.

Su Jingchen was also confused. If Cao Guangqiao was killed for corruption in the book, it was because Jun Yian was the emperor, but now the emperor was Jun Tingye. Could Cao Guangqiao be the emperor's person placed in the salt field?

If he was the emperor's man, then why did the emperor ask Su Jingchen to fill this gap?

Su Jingchen couldn't figure it out for a while, so he decided to stay put and send a letter to the capital first. Anyway, he was not dead. Cao Guangqiao would definitely have to ask the bandits for questioning. By then, Cao would know that he had a witness in his hand, so he would definitely sit down.

If he couldn't hold it any longer, he just had to wait for him to take action.
