Twilight Cloud Returns

"Okay. I have heard that the city of Yangzhou is beautiful with blue terraces and pavilions, and the wind is cool and the songs are clear. The Baiguan court meeting is over, and you are free. It's like going to Yangzhou." Wuqing didn't have any doubts, and agreed happily.

Yun Chuxiu has always acted vigorously and resolutely, so he ordered people to pack their bags for Yangzhou.

In the middle of the night, Gu Xiaorui knocked on the door suddenly.

Yun Chuxiu knows that Gu Xiaorui is not a person without restraint, so there must be something urgent.

He only put on a coat, looked at Wu Qing who was still asleep, and tiptoed out.

Seeing that the little prince finally came out, Gu Xiaorui was so anxious that he couldn't control his anger, "My lord... my lord, the Holy One hastened to call you into the palace."

Calling him into the palace at this time is definitely not because his happy affairs outside have dishonored the royal reputation.

Gu Xiaorui helped him put on his clothes, Yun Chuxiu asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Gu Xiaorui replied: "Today, a loyal father-in-law who is on duty in front of the imperial court came to deliver the message, which seems to be related to a memorial that was sent directly to Tianting by the inspector censor who went to Yangzhou for inspection."

The supervisory censor is directly under the emperor, and is responsible for supervising and inspecting the people's livelihood of the prefectures and counties and the governing ability of the local parents.

It must not be a trivial matter to be impeached directly by the censor.

Yun Chuxiu hurried out of the palace, Gu Xiaorui had already prepared the sedan chair, and entered the palace at night.

Jianzhang Palace is brightly lit.

Wei Zhongan led Yun Chuxiu in, and exhorted, "Your Majesty is very angry, you must be careful, little prince..."

Yun Chuxiu: "Thank you for reminding me, Eunuch."

I saw Chu Tiankuo sitting on the dragon chair with a dignified expression.

He handed the memorial to Wei Zhong'an, and said to Yun Chuxiu: "My brother, take a look."

Yun Chuxiu took it, and the more she looked at it, the more she frowned.In the memorial, it was written that many iron mines in Yangzhou collapsed and innocent people were trapped.And this iron ore was not mined by the government, but someone who ignored the laws of the Great Zhou and mined it privately.

At the end of the memorial, it did not mention who the mastermind of the private iron mine was. It only said that it had not been found out yet, and hoped that the imperial court would send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly as soon as possible.

In Dazhou, it was strictly forbidden for the people to mine iron ore, and those who violated it would be punished as collaborating with the enemy and treason.The iron and stone used by the people all come from government circulation.

Yun Chuxiu remembered that Yang Ren was the censor who visited Yangzhou this time. He was the son of the late Yang Pu Yang Taifu.

Yang Ren's ability is obvious to all. He failed to find out who was behind the scenes, which shows that he was greatly hindered in Yangzhou.Yun Chuxiu suddenly recalled the last time Yun Sheng once said in Zui Rouzhi that the iron arrows used in the assassination in the forest probably came from the south of the Yangtze River, and Yun Ying brought back the information that Xue Liandao and Liang Cai had been in close contact. I wonder if Xue Liandao and Yangzhou The ironstone mine case is linked to...

Just when he was distracted, Chu Tiankuo suddenly said to him: "My Royal Brother, the iron ore mine is very important to the Great Zhou. I appointed you as the Jiangnan dethronement envoy, and I will leave for Yangzhou today. people."

Yun Chuxiu said: "My brother takes orders."

After some tossing, it was dawn.

On the way back to the mansion, Yun Chuxiu happened to meet Chu Mohen who was rushing to court.

The two found a secluded place, and Yun Chuxiu told the whole story of Yangzhou's recent situation.

Chu Mohen thought for a while, and asked doubtfully, "The Holy Majesty has always been afraid of you, why did he entrust you with such a heavy responsibility this time? Aren't you afraid that you will rebel with those gangsters?"

From the moment Chu Tiankuo betrothed Xue Wanjun to Wei Guoan, Yun Chuxiu never guessed the thoughts of the powerful person.

"The imperial decree has been issued, and the next thing we can do is to see the tricks." An idea came to his mind, maybe Chu Tiankuo's recent actions will be explained when he goes to Yangzhou this time.

Chu Mohen warned: "Know it, be careful in everything. If there is any danger, remember to write to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely help you in the capital."

Yun Chuxiu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Before Liu Yi left, he could entrust his family to you. I will try my best not to bother you, a troublesome person."

After he returned home, it was already daybreak.

After Wu woke up, Gu Xiaorui told him everything, and he waited anxiously in the study.

After a while, Yun Chuxiu came back at a leisurely pace.

Seeing that he was so comfortable, Wuqing thought that there was nothing important to do, and said, "Why did the Holy One urgently call you?"

Yun Chuxiu leaned halfway on the bed and yawned, "I have appointed a Jiangnan dethronement envoy, and we can go to Yangzhou to eat and drink at public expense."

Deposition envoys have always been set up by officials dispatched by the imperial court in case of major events.

Obviously something important happened in Yangzhou, and this person can still be so calm.

Wu Qing panicked for him first, pacing back and forth on the spot.

After experiencing the battle between Liangzhou and the Xiongnu, Wuqing was terrified that the emperor would push Zhihuan to the cusp again, and it was difficult to save his life.

Yun Chuxiu hugged the restless Wuqing on his lap, and comforted him: "This is not a battlefield, so you don't need to be anxious."

"The court is surrounded by tigers, and its power is comparable to the eyesless swords on the battlefield. Why don't I worry?"

Yun Chuxiu kissed his forehead lightly, "Relax, I'm sure nothing will happen. You have the right to travel to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and learn a few pastries for me to try..."

Wuqing's worries are interrupted by the visit of Dr. Hu.

Yun Chuxiu went to the front hall to greet her in person, only to see Imperial Physician Hu happily saying: "My lord, since I left the mansion last time, I read all the ancient medical books and exhausted all my life's knowledge, and finally came up with this prescription."

He took it out of his arms solemnly, and said: "Master, follow this prescription to recuperate your body, and your physique will gradually ease."

Yun Chuxiu was very grateful, "Can it be cured?"

"This..." Imperial Physician Hu obviously fell into hesitation, and Yun Chuxiu knew it well without any further explanation - it was not easy for Imperial Physician Hu to draw up a prescription for thickening Wuqing physique.

Yun Chuxiu took it, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Hu."

"This is what doctors should do."

Yun Chuxiu and his party headed south by water, but they arrived in Yangzhou within a week.

All the people on the boat were landlubbers, who had been floating on the water for a week, but now walking on land, they felt that the surrounding scenery was swaying.

Gu Xiaorui led Fat Hairy, one person and one dog walked like a drunk, and found a place to vomit within two steps.

Wuqing's mental state is also not good, and his mind is always groggy.

Yun Chuxiu blamed herself, "I didn't think properly. I only wanted to get to Yangzhou as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that you had never been on a boat."

This time, Yun Chuxiu chose Weibo to visit and did not notify local officials.

Yang Ren was repeatedly hindered in Yangzhou, and he could not fully trust Xue Liandao, and the search in microservices would help to reveal the truth as soon as possible.

After settling in a mansion previously set up, Yun Chuxiu sent people to Yang Yushi's mansion non-stop, but the news he got was that Yang Yushi had disappeared for several days, and his family had already reported to the authorities, but no trace of him was found yet. .

Yang Yushi is currently the only person involved in the Yangzhou Tieshi case. He mysteriously disappeared within a week after he appeared in the court.

Yun Chuxiu couldn't help clenching her fists as she listened, "The water in Yangzhou is getting muddier."

He continued to ask: "Is Captain Wei here?"

Gu Xiaorui: "Ten days ago, Master Xue sent him to Blind Mountain to suppress bandits, but he has not returned yet."

According to Wei Guoan's ability, a few bandits should not have been resolved for so many days.He wondered in his heart, and brought the topographic maps of the collapsed iron mines in Yangzhou, and Blind Mountain happened to be located in it.

That being the case, he plans to go to Blind Mountain tomorrow to find out.

At the time of You, Yun Ying quietly came to the courtyard and reported: "Young Master, Master Zheng is currently located in the Cangchun Pavilion."

Upon hearing the name, Yun Chuxiu knew it was a brothel.

Yun Zheng is romantic, happy, chic and at ease!

He took advantage of Wuqing to sleep and came to Cangchun Pavilion.

Yun Zheng sat among the beauties like clouds, and the clothes were pulled apart by the slender fingers of the flower girls, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, and the lines were even more delicate than those of women.He embraced on the left and right, and let the flower girl feed him wine in a fancy way, so comfortable.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open by Yun Chuxiu, he was anxious to find him, but this person was talking and drinking here.With a sullen expression on his face, he sarcastically said, "It's really hard to find you!"

Yun Zheng was already handsome, but now a handsome and unparalleled young master came to have fun. The bold Hua Niang tried her best to rush into his arms, pretending to be weak and boneless, and seductively said: "Young master, Why get angry? Let the slave family serve you well, calm down..."

Yun Chuxiu pushed her away, Hua Niang had never seen such an unfeminine person, she was extremely wronged, and ran back to Yun Zheng to seek comfort.

Yun Zheng embraced her slender waist, clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "You, the most dissolute and happy little prince in the Zhou Dynasty, how did you become a good man today?"

Yun Chuxiu glared at the disheveled flower girls, and the flower girls left wisely.

He sat directly across from Yun Zheng, and Yun Zheng said dissatisfied: "You drove all the girls away, how can I spend tonight?"

He squinted his long and narrow peach blossom eyes, and suddenly approached Yun Chuxiu, and the fragrance of the flower girl's makeup still remained around him.

Yun Zheng's voice was charming: "How about the young master accompany me tonight?"

Yun Zheng is used to being idle, and there are only two things he cares about most in the world. One is his unfinished book, The Classic of Herbs, and the other is beauty.

As long as this person looks good, regardless of gender, Yun Zheng always wants to have a taste of it.

After all, his jade-like fingers were about to touch Yun Chuxiu's peerless face, but the latter pulled out the feather fan at his waist to block his frivolous movements.

Yun Chuxiu said: "Yun Zheng, you can do whatever you want on weekdays. Now it's a matter of life and death. I beg you, help him take a look."

Yun Zheng was a little surprised that the young master would be so humble, but he was very interested in that person - he wanted to know what kind of wonderful person the young master spent so much energy looking for him?

Yun Zheng poured a glass of wine and agreed, "I can go and see, but I have one condition."

Yun Chuxiu forcibly suppressed the anger accumulated in his heart, among the Yun clan who dared to negotiate terms with him, Yun Zheng was the first one.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What condition?"

Yun Zheng said mysteriously: "The Buddha said that it cannot be said."

"I just rested in Yangzhou not long ago. After two days, I'll get tired of playing, and I'll look for you."

He shook his legs, and his attitude of having nothing to do with himself really made Chuxiu angry.

No wonder he came from the same school as the bald master Huijue, so his temper and disposition have followed that master's, very strange!

Yun Chuxiu flicked her sleeves and left.

As soon as he left the Cangchun Pavilion, a sharp sword light came straight at him.
