The Golden Age Chapter 816: Like a stranger

Qin Xiao knows that She Yue's remarks can be regarded as confidant, except for himself, I am afraid that he will never say it to the second person.

"The princess is saying that the saint is likely to take back your right to the treasury?"

Musk Yue said slightly: "At least she will not allow me to continue to manage Jiangnan. The rebellion in Suzhou has made her understand that if I really join forces with the Jiangnan family, it will bring her a great threat. With this lesson, she will not make a second mistake."

"If you don't let you take charge of Jiangnan, who can you let?"

"As far as I know about her, she doesn't really trust the civil and military of Manchu, including Xiahou Yuanzhen." She Yue said indifferently: "The eunuchs she trusts most are the eunuchs around her, who handed over the inner treasury. In the hands of the eunuch, it is very possible."

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "If this is the case, how can Lin Hong listen to me? Once the saint sends an **** to take care of Jiangnan, the first one to hold in his hands is Baofenglong. I am just a little Dali now. Si Shaoqing, even if I participate in recruiting new troops in the future, the saint will not allow me to come into contact with Baofenglong."

"Two reasons." The princess succinctly said: "First of all, Baofenglong is too large and cumbersome to operate. Except for Lin Hong, it is difficult for anyone to operate. No one sent to the DPRK can take over, even if it is forced. If you send someone over, Lin Hong will not cooperate. If you can ensure the smooth operation of Jiangnan financial resources, the saint may tacitly allow you to take control of the Jiangnan family. Second, money can make ghosts grind, and money is sometimes the world. The most hateful thing, but sometimes it is the most useful thing in the world. Three million taels of silver are secretly sent to Kyoto in your name and handed over to the saint. The saint knows that you are in Jiangnan and cannot be treated badly in the palace. With this Two conditions, it is not impossible for the saint to temporarily hand over Baofenglong to you."

Qin Xiao was really surprised, and it was incredible to think that the princess would give him such a gift.

"Princess, why... why did you choose me?" Qin Xiao asked, looking at the charming eyes of She Yue.

Sk Yue smiled indifferently, and said: "Don't think I really value you. You are now grateful from the Jiangnan family. Acting in Jiangnan is much smoother than any official in North Korea. Although An Xinghou is not You sent someone to kill, but the feud between you and Xiahou's family has been forged, and Bao Fenglong will be handed over to you, at least you will not transfer him to Xiahou's family."

Qin Xiao sighed and said nothing.

She Yue was also silent for a while, and the room was quiet for a while. After a while, She Yue glanced at Qin Xiao and said: "You have nothing to say?"

"I don't know what to say." Qin Xiao raised his hand and touched his head: "I don't know if I really want to take the Libao Hong Leong can do it well, but since the princess has asked, I will try my best to help the princess look forward to the scene. "

"Wrong." She Yue shook her head and said with a serious face: "Qin Xiao, after Lin Hong followed you, there are many Jiangnan families behind him who have their wealth and lives on your body. You have to use these people. The wealth of her, to win the trust and even please the saint. When in Kyoto, the saint promoted you exceptionally. Although I still don’t know the reason for this, according to my judgment, she really looks at you differently, so as long as you do your errands in Jiangnan, let She is satisfied and believes that she must have a foothold in the DPRK."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "In fact, I don't know why the saint loves me so much."

"The saint will reuse you, provided that you make her feel that you can be used by her and be loyal to her." She Yue lowered her voice and said: "You want her

The trust is based in North Korea, not only to help her collect money in the south of the Yangtze River, but also must not have deep friendship with any officials in North Korea. Once you stay in the south of the Yangtze River, you will be the foreign ministers of Kyoto. The imperial court is most afraid of foreign ministers and domestic ministers. This is also the most taboo thing for saints. Once you encounter taboos, the saints will inevitably be suspicious of you and be suspected by the saints. That will never end well. "

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I must remember the princess's instructions." Looking at the princess, he said, "But then, the chances of seeing the princess will be less?"

Musk Moon’s wonderful eyes flowed, and the corners of her mouth chuckle: "Why, do you really want to see me often?"

"When I see the princess, I can gain the experience of being an official. I naturally hope to see you often." Qin Xiao said immediately.

She Yue snorted coldly, but then sighed softly, "I can stay in Jiangnan for a few days. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to see me these days. When I leave Jiangnan, I will return. After Beijing, I may never see it again."

Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Why does the princess say this? Even if I stay in Jiangnan, I will never go to Kyoto forever. When I get to Kyoto...!"

"This is the last thing I want to confess to you." Musk Moon's expression softened, and she said softly: "No matter if you go to Kyoto in the future, don't think about seeing me again, let alone being here. Mention me in front of anyone. You can treat me as a princess who does not exist, especially in front of saints, let alone mention me."

Qin Xiao was startled, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't speak, as if he understood something.

"The **** between internal and external officials is a matter of the dread of the saints, not to mention the entanglements between the foreign officials and other people in the palace?" She Yue raised her swan-like soft and white neck, and smiled bitterly: "I am from the palace. People, now they are the most jealous of the saints. You recruited soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, and even had a close relationship with Jiangnan gentry. How do you think the saints will allow you and me to have friendship?"

"So we have very few opportunities to meet in the future?" Qin Xiao's face was a little ugly.

Sk Yue nodded slightly: "Not very few, but missing."

Qin Xiao laughed suddenly, very abruptly. She Yue was startled, a little confused, then frowned, but listened to Qin Xiao said: "So the princess and I will be like strangers from now on?"

"This is not a bad thing for you or me." She Yue said indifferently: "This time in Jiangnan, you helped me a lot. Now I also give you what I can give. I should not owe each other. In the future. I am the Princess of Tang in the palace. You are the foreign minister who guards the important place. It is only natural that you are like a stranger."

Qin Xiao looked at She Yue's eyes, his lips moved without making a sound.

Musyue's warm vermilion lips moved, and there was no sound.

Neither of them spoke. After a long time, Qin Xiao finally got up and said, "The minister is going to deal with the warehouse. Please leave first, and the princess takes care."

Musk Yue just nodded, Qin Xiao walked to the door, stopped, did not look back, just said: "There is one more thing, please help the princess."

"Say it!"

"If you can still see Mei Niang, tell her, I was very happy when I was with her last night, and I also know that she is not without affection for me." Qin Xiao said slowly: "Since she Being my woman, I will definitely keep her safe. No matter what kind of troubles or even tribulations she encounters in the future, let her remember that I am there." Without saying more, leave quickly.

She Yue didn't turn her head, she just turned her head and looked out the window. The banana trees outside the window were extremely green, and the princess' eyes were like water, startled in a daze.

In the following days, the princess did not call Qin Xiao again, and Qin Xiao did not take the initiative to see the princess, but continued to preside over many cases of the Jiangnan family.

Fan Yang posted a notice in the city according to Qin Xiao's intention. The Hangzhou family who had their assets confiscated by Qin Xiao's case could go to the warehouse to collect their belongings.

The warehouse was originally guarded by the remaining Shence Army, but Qin Xiao had the princess's order and immediately asked Yu Wencheng to take over the warehouse. Although the Shence Army was very unwilling, An Xinghou was killed, Qiao Ruixin Leading troops to **** the remains back to Beijing, the people who stayed didn’t have the guts to defy the princess’s orders. In addition, Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao were not good stubborns. At this time, they had to be embarrassed with Qin Xiao. The officers and soldiers of the Shence Army knew it was unfortunate It can only be himself, and in desperation, the warehouse can only be handed over to the loyal army.

For seven or eight days in a row, most of the properties in the warehouse have been collected, but several families have been killed by Xiahou Ning’s family, and there are no successors. These properties are temporarily sealed in the warehouse.

Qin Xiao initially planned to return these properties in the name of the princess, but the princess sent someone to order to do it directly in the name of Qin Xiao. As a result, Qin Xiao's reputation in Hangzhou reached its peak in an instant.

Many aristocratic families in Hangzhou could not save the lives of the whole family, let alone worry about their own property. Who would have thought that Qin Shaoqing of Dali Temple would turn things around and not only reverse the case of the Hangzhou family, but also the wealth that would be stolen. Give back, this is an unprecedented thing, many people even feel it is in a dream.

Chen Xi's injury is recovering pretty well. She can get up and go down to the ground, but the previous injury was too severe to heal in a short time.

Qin Xiao took the time to go to Luoyue Temple twice in the middle, wanting to see if Taoist Aunt Luoyue came back, but the Taoist Temple was empty, even though it had been seven days since the second visit, he still did not find two Taoist aunts. Of the trail.

This surprised Qin Xiao.

If they haven’t seen each other for seven or eight days, it proves that the two of them are not near Hangzhou when they go out, but they have lived in Luoyueguan for a long time and left suddenly and have not returned for a long time. Where can they go?

If Daogu Luoyue didn't come to the rescue, Chen Xi would definitely die. After all, Qin Xiao owed the other person's favor, and just wanted to thank him face to face again.

Although Chen Xi also wanted to go to thank him personally, but firstly, his body has not recovered, and secondly, he is not sure that the two Taoist aunts have returned, so he did not follow, but he also thought that after healed, he would go there in person anyway. grateful.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15 is also known as the Ghost Festival.

The river lanterns are set to worship the ancestors, and there are river lanterns floating in several large rivers in Hangzhou to commemorate the dead.

According to the custom, after dark, if there are no special circumstances, it is best not to go out. Folklore says that a hundred ghosts walk at night. If you go out at night and encounter ghosts, it is naturally not a good thing. Therefore, after dark, the city of Hangzhou is better than in the past. But it was much quieter, and everyone closed their doors for morning breaks.

Qin Xiao couldn't rest.

Before dark, I was summoned by the princess and did not clearly say what it was. Qin Xiao did not hesitate. After receiving the summon, he hurried to Changming Garden and was taken directly to an elegant hall. , But saw the window open, and one person stood by the window with his hands on his back, seeming to be enjoying the night view outside the window.
