Enclosing land for grain led to famine, resulting in deaths and plagues.

The so-called high-ranking people headed by Qi Tongfu continue to use conspiracy to cover up another conspiracy.

First, they used violent means to suppress the public anger caused by the loss of land. Instead of taking immediate measures after the outbreak of the plague, they created a farce of the "God of Plague".

Using a low-level person like Zhang Bo, who has little knowledge and culture but a little bit of greed and selfishness, to make things mysterious and evil, and to confuse people; firstly, to cover up the spread of the plague news, and secondly, to delay time, dragging Yan Fei to death here , or, it is not impossible to find a way to put the hat on Yan Fei's head.

Qi Tongfu had exhausted his strategy and planned it carefully, Qi Jingsi couldn't help but feel a chill in his teeth.

The land enclosure happened two years ago. At that time, Yan Fei didn’t know that he was a blind man from an unnamed academy. It’s impossible that Qi Tongfu’s big money was aimed at him. Getting Yan Fei here was obviously a trick after the Dongchuang incident. .

But there are two to three thousand lives in You County. In Qi Tongfu's plan, what are these living people?

First there was the so-called violence/chaos in Niujia Village, and the lives of white people were lost in the loess; then there was a flood in Ting County, people were devastated, and black and white were reversed; now it is the turn of You County——

In the final analysis, the source of disaster is nothing but greed.

Qi Jingsi could think that what Qi Tongfu wanted was money, but he couldn't think of what Qi Tongfu wanted so much money for.

Besides, this place is so close to Beijing, even if Qi Tongfu and Li Pu can cover the sky with one hand, but it is impossible to really control the plague, he must have another way.

What will this last move be?

Zhang Bo’s house is a typical old bachelor’s yard. He earns a living by helping others with trivial matters. After all, it is unlucky in the eyes of the villagers. He probably has no friends or relatives. Not even a wooden bed.

Qi Jingsi found half a wooden board, and Yan Fei gave it up to Yan Yi, and the two of them huddled together in a thatched pile in the corner.

Qi Jingsi put her arms around Yan Fei and tried her best to wrap the person in her arms with the cloak. Fortunately, it was spring and it wasn't cold, but no one could sleep.

Yan Fei huddled in Qi Jingsi's arms, as quiet as a kitten, so Qi Jingsi didn't dare to move, for fear of waking people up.

Until Yan Fei stretched out his hand, and quietly tucked the cloak he was pulling onto Qi Jingsi's body.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Qi Jingsi took Yan Fei's hand that was covering her clothes and gently squeezed it.

"You didn't sleep either." Yan Fei slightly raised his head and pecked at the corner of Qi Jingsi's mouth, "I'm worried that Yan Yi may not be able to go out to this village tomorrow...Jingsi..."

"Stop." Qi Jingsi hugged Yan Fei tightly, and interrupted his next words, "I can't leave you behind, don't even think about it."

"Besides, you think Yan Yi can't get out, so why do you think I can?"

"Because Qi Tongfu is still your father after all—" Yan Fei struggled in Qi Jingsi's arms and raised his face, "Even if the tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring, he will always leave a way out for you."

"Why do you think that Qi Tongfu is stronger than animals?" Qi Jingsi looked down at Yan Fei, "I don't think so."

"Then you have some kung fu, and you can ride a horse—" Yan Fei insisted, "It's better than Yan Yi."

The moonlight from outside the window came in, although the current situation was difficult, the moonlight was excellent, a light and thin layer spread on Yan Fei's fat and jade-like face.

Behind the year-round smog, Yan Fei's eyes are emotional and gentle.

"The magistrates of You County have already run away, why don't you run away?" Qi Jingsi said softly, "Then what is your chance?"

"After I'm gone, you and Yan Yi, who can protect the other?" He leaned over and kissed Yan Fei's forehead lightly, "Didn't they all agree that they would never turn back?"

The road of life is still the door of death, and we must always hold hands and go the same way to live up to this life.

"master."

Just as the servants took the court clothes and went to the study to change Qi Tongfu's clothes, Butler Qian's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Qi Tongfu's voice was obviously tired.

Steward Qian pushed the door open and entered the room, stood humbly behind the door, bowed without saying a word; Qi Tongfu understood and sent the other servants away.

"What's the matter?" He sat down impatiently.

Steward Qian stepped forward and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness is here."

"What!" Qi Tongfu jumped up in disbelief before he could sit on the stool under his buttocks, "What is this trash doing again!"

"How many times have I told him that it's a troubled time, a troubled time... Can't he understand?"

"Is this frequent private communication because I'm afraid that Li Fan won't be able to get a handle on me!"

"His Royal Highness seems to know about the affairs of You County." Steward Qian carefully explained: "According to the servant next to His Highness, His Highness was so anxious that he stayed up all night last night. Urgently bring people to our house..."

"Where are people?" Qi Tongfu asked anxiously.

"Fortunately, the back alley is not seen by anyone." Qian Butler flatteringly comforted: "Master, don't worry too much."

"Then hurry up and get people in!" Qi Tongfu said angrily, "Madam should get up at this point, are you afraid that she won't see you?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Steward Qian exited the study in quick response, and soon invited Li Pu, who was still wrapped in a black cloak and covered his face with a hood.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince." Qi Tongfu suppressed the anger in his chest and saluted respectfully.

"My Lord Qi—" Li Pu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He completely forgot the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. He almost knelt down to Qi Tongfu, "What's going on in this county this time? ah?"

He was so anxious that he wandered around the room disorderly, "The things in Niujia Village can be said to be less crowded, and the things in Ting County can be said to be far away, but this You County——"

"This You County is right under the eyes of the emperor! So many people, such a big battle, how did it end? How did it end!"

"I persuaded you when something happened in Ting County earlier..." He shook Qi Tongfu's hand, "Let's restrain ourselves, restrain ourselves...but you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

At first, Qi Tongfu bowed respectfully and listened to Li Pu's talk, but now he got up suddenly, interrupted the other party's words roughly, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Seeing this, Li Pu was frightened and at a loss for words, "You, me, me" for a long time without saying a whole sentence.

"What did the lower official do—" Qi Tongfu asked aggressively, "Isn't it for your great cause, His Royal Highness?"

"But...but that silver..."

"But how much money is enough?" Qi Tongfu interrupted Li Pu's stammering answer with disgust, "Is Your Highness going to tell me this again?"

"That's also..." Li Pu's facial features were all wrinkled, "I always... pick a place farther away..."

"That's a plague...Master Qi..." He was so anxious that he was about to cry, "What if the truth is passed on to Beijing? I'm only [-] years old, I don't want to lie in a coffin right after putting on the dragon robe..."

"Far?" Qi Tongfu looked contemptuously, a row of desks, "Okay!"

"Then I will settle the matter with Your Highness!"

"For so many years, how much money we have spent to win over the officials and families in the court to build momentum for you, so that you will not be defeated before the start of the battle with the Fourth Highness. This account, Has Your Highness counted?"

"Do you think the old men of the family are beggars on the street? Just give them away for a few bucks?"

"All of them are bottomless abysses. In summer, you donate money for summer escape, and in winter you have to give money for charcoal fire. Every time you pay more than once, but if one day falls, they might turn around and join the camp of the Fourth Highness, and they will bite you to death." .”

"There is still food."

"I don't know if there is a big risk of cheating at the emperor's feet? But what can I do? I have so many soldiers under my command. If you don't feed people, who will work for you?"

"Do you think it's your East Palace or my mansion, and you can't eat dozens of stones of grain in a year, that's [-] elite soldiers!"

"If food is to be transported from Jiangnan, do you know how much money it will cost in a year just for the loss and transportation costs on the road?"

"You don't know!" Qi Tongfu said, leaning forward, gnashing his teeth in front of Li Pu, and said, "Your Highness also said that you are already [-] years old, but every little thing will come to me, crying like a woman !"

Li Pu was so frightened by Qi Tongfu's momentum that he fell down in the armchair behind him, his eyes widened, and the frightened tears flowed cowardly in such a timely manner.

If you don't mention the [-] elite soldiers, you will be fine, but if you mention him, you will be even more frightened.

He and Qi Tongfu encroached on corruption, enriched their own pockets, bribed and accepted bribes, and formed cliques for personal gain. Leave him alone.

But keeping private soldiers in captivity is different.

That is treason.

Although Qi Tongfu assured him again and again that he would not commit any rebellion, the 3 people were just their last hole card, in case Li Fan turned his face ruthlessly one day, they could still protect themselves.

In fact, no matter how stupid he is, he understands that this is to guard against the fact that one day something will happen, and if his position as prince is abolished, he will have to rely on these 3 people in yellow robes.

But the more he understood, the more afraid he became.

If a mere 3 people can give him a chance to win, and Emperor Shengming has been in a bad mood for more than a year, they don't have to wait until today.

Qi Tongfu in the room was furious, Li Pu was uneasy, and sometimes he would join in the fun, and the door of the study was knocked again.

"Who!" Qi Tongfu said angrily.

"Master..." Steward Qian opened the door and entered the room, saluted respectfully, "Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince."

After paying his respects, he got up, his eyes swept around the room, his face showed embarrassment, as if he couldn't speak.

"Speak!" Qi Tongfu slapped the table, "I'll see what else I can't say at this time!"

"Yes..." Butler Qian wondered, "It's the young master's news..."

"Qi Jingsi?" Qi Tongfu finally lowered his voice, "He's back?"

"Yesterday, the young master followed a carriage before he left. The carriage came back. I don't know if the young master is on it." Steward Qian stepped forward and whispered: "There is news from You County that someone saw the young master. But the young master has only lived in the mansion for a short time, and he doesn't go home all day, and they haven't seen the young master himself, they only say that he looks like him, but they are not sure."

"I don't know... I'm not sure..." Qi Tongfu whispered, glaring and gnashing his teeth, "It's all nonsense!"

"Why don't you check it out!"

"When the carriage entered the Heyi Tower, there were a lot of people there, and they were all nobles. Our people didn't dare to search it in a big way. If they wanted to hide it, we might not find it out so quickly." Qian Butler explained: "As for the news about You County, I have already sent people to implement it, but it takes time to deliver the news."

"Master Qi..." Li Pu, who had been slumped in an armchair just now, stood up suddenly, "Aren't you trying to postpone the closure of the village? Just for your cheap son?"

"No... no!" He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qi Tongfu's collar like crazy, "If the plague spreads and spreads to Beijing, we will all die!"

"I beg you... Please... I don't want to die yet..." He roared and then started to cry again, completely like a crazy woman in the market, "Besides, your cheap son is not the same as you It's not a single mind... No one in Beijing knows that he has an affair with the little number one scholar who was just recruited by Li Fan..."

"You let him out...we're all going to die...we're all going to die..." He gradually let go of Qi Tongfu, fell to the ground slumped, and burst into tears, "Father will never let me go..."

"Get up." Qi Tongfu's teeth were clenched, but his face was expressionless, "As long as I didn't order to postpone the closure of the village, they would still seal everything in You County as planned this morning."

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"Okay, okay..." Li Pu got up tremblingly and almost fell, but fortunately, Steward Qian was quick to hold him up.

"Isn't it my son..." He grabbed Qi Tongfu's sleeve and said excitedly: "After the matter is done, is there any beauty? Even if Mrs. Qi takes a fancy to my concubine in the harem, I will offer it to you...son... "

"There will always be a son... There will always be another..."

"The humble minister, thank you for your kindness first." Qi Tongfu said politely, but pulled Li Pu's hand holding his cuff away in disgust, turned to Qian Guanjia and said, "His Royal Highness is shocked, and he has been shocked earlier. Send it back to the East Palace and rest."

Steward Qian sent him to the servants in the palace, and when he returned to the study, he saw that Qi Tongfu had already changed into his court clothes, but he was standing wearily under the eaves, not moving.

"Is the master worried about the young master?" Steward Qian stepped forward and asked.

"If Lin Yu is here, it's impossible not to look up to him." Qi Tongfu looked downcast, "Tell me, where is he hiding?"

"At least my master's return to Beijing is all related to the Yan family's No. [-] Scholar. The carriage also went directly into the Heyi Tower. Master, tell me..." Steward Qian tentatively said: "This old slave has a plan."

Qi Tongfu turned his head and looked at Steward Qian blankly.

"Even if the young master is really in You County, how many secrets can we find out? If it is really released, we only need to send someone to watch over it, and there will be no trouble." Steward Qian whispered: "In the final analysis, whoever really threatens the master and His Highness , or Mr. Guangji and the Lin family behind him."

"Since we can't find anyone, it's not easy for us to find out the truth in Heyi Tower, why not..."

"A fire."

"It's clean."

"At that time, it can be regarded as an explanation to His Royal Highness, so that he can let the young master go."

Qi Tongfu stared at Steward Qian, his slack eyes gradually focused, and the inside was overcast, as if a storm was suddenly brewing.

There were still no waves in his voice, but his tone was extremely low and slow——

"You dare to touch a hair of his hair."

The author has something to say: Scum dad!you wake up!Uncle is dead!

He should have had a little sincerity towards his little uncle in his life, but in his eyes, love is never as important as power and status.

Late affection is cheaper than grass!Don't wash it for nothing, tear up tmd!
