A world of glory

The person who answered before said with a smile: "My lord, why don't you worry, the new county magistrate is now focusing on the farming affairs, and I'm afraid he can't even think about us."

He Zhaoming smiled, and said: "It's better for you to be careful. Now Li Jinxiu has been folded in. Although Mr. Cao is restraining Zhang Ye, the sky in Liangshan County has changed. It's not sure what's going on here. Is there any other mystery?" Hearing the words, the man smiled and said, "I'm afraid the adults are worrying too much. If the sky changes, the young people in Anzhou don't dare to speak nonsense, but the master of Xiyang County, I'm afraid it won't be able to be shaken by a small county magistrate."

He Zhaoming shook his head when he heard the words, and only said: "That's the case, but after all, this Xinzhi County is extraordinary. Just looking at his thunderous means of taking down Mr. Cao and Li Jinxiu, you can see that he is not easy to deal with. This mine Although it’s hidden, it’s not a dangerous place, it’s just that in the past, but if you’re not careful now, it’s hard to guarantee that the wind will leak out.”

Hearing He Zhaoming's words, those people all nodded yes, suddenly a person appeared from the bushes beside him, saluted He Zhaoming, and said, "Your Excellency, you are all ready, you can start your journey."

He Zhaoming nodded, just now someone pushed out the wheelbarrows one after another in the bushes, but it was quite strenuous to watch, and he could tell that the items on the carts were not light.

Taking a closer look, the bushes are close to the mountain wall, presumably someone did it deliberately, and one can't help but sigh secretly.The wheels of those vehicles were covered with a thick layer of fur, so the noise made by the dozen or so wheelbarrows was very slight. Someone lit a torch to illuminate them. When the crowd of vehicles walked halfway on the mountain road like a long worm, Suddenly turned in a different direction and headed towards the cliff on one side.

The mountain wind blows the water waves, slapping on the rocks along the coast, several fishing boats seem to be moored at night, swaying on the water surface, only the dim lights are left to illuminate the waves.He Zhaoming blew a few whistles, which sounded like birdsong from a distance. The lights on the fishing boat flickered. He Zhaoming seemed to understand the hint, and said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone will do as usual. Drink to drive away the cold."

Hearing what He Zhaoming said, the people who pushed the carts also became very excited, and only smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, it's all a matter of familiarity, and nothing will go wrong."

As he said that, he unloaded the box from the cart, and tied it with bundles of hemp rope. It seemed that he was going to tie the box with hemp rope and hoist it to the fishing boat. It was a very clever method.

The cliff is close to the water, just by listening to the sound of the waves, one can tell that the bottom is unfathomable. If there is any disturbance and the rope breaks, there will be many ways to deal with it later.While these people were busy tying ropes, suddenly the surroundings were brightly lit, and groups of people surrounded them.

Qin Yi wore a big fur cloak, held a stove in his hand, looked at He Zhaoming with a smile, and said, "It's so cold, it's really hard. You are well qualified for your job. This official can submit a letter to the imperial court, so why should my lord ask for a meritorious service?"

Seeing Qin Yi's sudden appearance, He Zhaoming and others didn't know that the situation was over, they dropped the things in their hands one after another, and with a gloomy face, they were arrested on the spot, squatting aside, without saying a word.

Qin Yi glanced at it, walked to the side of the box, opened a box casually, and suddenly frowned, it turned out that there were pieces of wood neatly stacked inside.

Seeing Qin Yi frowned, He Zhaoming looked happy, Qin Yi glanced over from the corner of his eye, picked up the wood and rubbed it against the stove, revealing the golden inner layer, then scraped the box, Qin Yi smiled slightly, and just said : "What a clever idea, it seems that I have underestimated it, Mr. He not only fulfilled his responsibilities, it seems that this official is a little overqualified."

As he said that, he didn't want to pay attention to He Zhaoming and the others any more, so he only told the county magistrate beside him: "I'm tired, so I'll leave this place to Mr. Zhang. Remember, I will know clearly tomorrow morning. I want to see, what color has the sky in Xiyang County changed?"

In the early morning, the sun was shining slightly, Qin Yi had just finished washing, Lanyue and Nongyun were busy arranging chopsticks and vegetables, when a little girl came in hurriedly and said: "Master, Mr. Zhang is here."

Qin Yi frowned slightly, and only nodded, indicating that he knew. The little maid saw it, but didn't know what to do for a while, Lanyue took a look at Qin Yi's expression, and said hurriedly: "Don't invite Mr. Zhang to the flower hall Use tea." The little maid just now understood, and hurried out again.

"Your Excellency, this matter is already clear. A gold mine was discovered in Liangshan County a few years ago. It was concealed by He Zhaoming, Cao Hewen and others in collusion with the officials in the county. They mined it privately and smuggled it out. This involved officials...if it gets out, the whole of Anzhou will be in trouble." Zhang Xiancheng said somewhat vaguely.

Holding the teacup, Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully, suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "I'm afraid there are not many officials in Xiyang County who are innocent, but I don't know if the magistrate knows it or not?"

Zhang Xiancheng frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know about this official, but judging from the confession made yesterday, the magistrate is not involved in it, so he should have heard about it, but What the hell is going on, I dare not make up my mind."

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the box of silver that Tianzhi County sent him before he went to Liangshan County. Not to mention, although gold and silver are common things, it is indeed rare to see such fineness. Nowadays Thinking about it again, Tian Zhixian either was negligent or deliberately reminded him.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi's heart moved, and he only told Zhang Xiancheng: "No matter who is involved in this matter, now it seems that the evidence is conclusive. Whether the magistrate knows it or not, we don't care about it. .”

In less than a few dozen days, the verdict on the case of stealing the mine in Liangshan County came down, but it was handed down by the Holy Will. Even the chief envoy of Anzhou also lost his official position and confiscated his family property. As for the changes in the situation in Beijing, it is even more difficult to say. He vaguely heard that several princes in the clan were sick one after another.

This matter has nothing to do with Qin Yi. Although he handed over the secret letter, he knew that he was a new official at a young age. Although the Holy Majesty could not avoid rewards for such a contribution, it was impossible for him to be promoted and choose a job. Instead of worrying about it For these things, it is better to pay more attention to your own official duties.

But Qin Yi never expected that the resignation of Anzhou chief envoy would be replaced by no one else, but his own father. Qin Yi felt very uncomfortable when he was surprised.After finally leaving Beijing, everything that he had painstakingly planned seemed to be a joke. Fortunately, it was still early for his father to take office, and Qin Yi was only slightly annoyed for a while, so he put it down and wrote a post to invite everyone. Xuan went to climb the mountain to enjoy the clouds, so as to relieve the depression in his heart.

The sea of ​​clouds is tumbling, and the rays of the sun are shining, ethereal and illusory, filled with grandeur.After admiring the cloud for a while and discussing a few glasses of wine, Qin Yizao was a little bit drunk, but he was trying to talk to Qi Xuan with all his energy. When he didn't pay attention, his foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Qi Xuan had sharp eyesight and quick hands. After helping him, he asked anxiously: "Brother Qin, what's the matter?" Qin Yi just stabilized his body, smiled a little embarrassedly, looked at Qi Xuan and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I just I'm a bit greedy, I'm afraid I'm a little drunk." When Qi Xuan saw it, his heart moved, he just smiled, looked up at the bottom of the mountain, and said to Qin Yi: "When I went up the mountain just now, I saw a tea stall halfway up the mountain , it’s not far from the road right now, why don’t we go to the tea stand to have a rest?” Qin Yi nodded with a smile, and just said: “It’s good to have a rest, I’m really tired after walking all the way.”

The tea stand was built against the mountain wall. Except for the winding mountain road, there is a bottomless cliff on one side. You can only see the rolling clouds and mist, and you can't see the reality inside.

It was still early at the moment, and there were not many customers in the tea stall. The stall owner was still busy arranging tea utensils and wiping the table, apparently it had just opened for a while.

The busy stall owner in the tea stall is only a young man in his teens, but he is very skilled in serving tea and pouring water. Presumably he is used to this business, and he has a hard background.

Qin Yi and Qi Xuan took their seats, and Qi Xuan only ordered the stall owner to go into the boiling water.Qi Xuan scalded the teacup and cup with boiling water, brewed a pot of strong tea, poured a cup, handed it to Qin Yi, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Qin is a little drunk, you might as well drink a cup first."

Qin Yi felt a little warmth in his heart, but frowned slightly, looked at Qi Xuan and said, "It's all because I didn't think carefully, just thinking about being at ease, if I had known this, it would be okay to bring Danqing and them together."

Qi Xuan smiled lightly, put down the teacup, poured another cup for himself, his movements were light and graceful, "Brother Qin, do you dislike me for not serving me well?"

It was obviously just an ordinary question, but it fell into Qin Yi's ears, but he couldn't help thinking about it, his face flushed slightly, and he just pretended to be puzzled and said: "Brother Qi's service is not thoughtful, I'm afraid how many people ask for it?" I can’t ask for it, but I have benefited in vain.”

As soon as the words came out, Qi Xuan shook his head and smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "It's all for nothing, I thought..." Qi Xuan was just joking, but suddenly his heart tightened, and his hairs stood on end. , a dangerous premonition arose spontaneously, he got up and pulled Qin Yi and fell to the side.

"Whoosh, whoosh." The cold arrows shot straight at him, and the stall owner who was serving tea was pierced through the throat by an arrow, and blood spurted out, and he leaned and fell to the ground.

Qi Xuan pulled Qin Yi to dodge the arrow, turned around and was about to run towards the mountain road, but the sharp arrow was so fast, seeing the two were about to rush out of the tea stall, the arrow shot straight at them again, Qin Yi suddenly Turning around, he was shocked and said: "Qi Xuan—"

But it was too late, the arrows followed closely, Qi Xuan leaned his body and avoided the critical point, but he was hit by an arrow on his shoulder, and the beautiful blood bloomed on his shoulder, dyeing half of his body red.

Qi Xuan tilted his body, it seemed that all the strength in his body was taken away by the arrow, and he was about to fall, Qin Yi stretched out his hand to hold him, his eyes were bright red, and his breath was thick There was bloody smell, and he didn't know anything for a while, and the unreasonable fear seemed to completely envelope him.
