Chapter 48
Yan Yunhe came out of the palace and met Chen Qing. The current smuggling case of the Tsing Yi Gang involves the rebellion of King Wu, and a group of people from the Tsing Yi Gang were escorted from Yunzhou to the capital because of this case.
The case of King Wu's rebellion is still under investigation, and all forces are intervening. Emperor Cheng Jing was furious today because of this matter.
Just now in the imperial study room, Yan Yunhe swallowed the bitter peach blossom cake and knelt on the ground again.
When Emperor Cheng Jing saw his appearance, he looked a little dangerous: "Huaiyang, why don't you eat it? Do you not like the peach blossom cake I gave you?"
Yan Yunhe shook his head: "I have more important things than peach blossom cake. Report to Your Majesty."
After the dark clouds cleared, Emperor Cheng Jing said with great interest, "Tell me what is so important that you don't even want to eat peach blossom cakes."
Yan Yunhe took the opportunity to mention the Tsing Yi Gang . , he said that this clue was originally discovered because Chen Qing of the Tsing Yi Gang made up for his mistakes and proactively provided a lot of information.
He could only plead for a few words in front of Emperor Cheng Jing, but Emperor Cheng Jing waved his hands in frustration. He had no time to care about the little Tsing Yi Gang.
But seeing Yan Yunhe's anxious expression, Emperor Cheng Jing still said relentingly: "I will not take their lives."
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped." Emperor Cheng Jing said.
Yan Yunhe had a panic on his face: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Cheng Jing felt that Yan Yunhe was looking for trouble for him, so he glared at him angrily, and then made a embarrassment: "Is that okay if you send him to the army?"
Yan Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief and revealed that today The first smile came: "Your Majesty is wise."
Since ancient times, prisoners have been exiled, mostly to the army.
The environment on the road was harsh and difficult, and many prisoners could not survive it. This is why there is a saying that it is better to die than to be exiled.
But if a tree is moved to death, a person will be moved to life. As long as one can save one's life, everything is negotiable.
What's more, there are many ways to make the conditions on the road to exile less difficult.
The place of distribution is Yan Yunhe's territory. If he performs meritorious service on the battlefield, he will still have a chance to return.
Although this was not the guarantee Yan Yunhe had made with Chen Qing at the beginning, in this case, it was good to be able to save his life.
After he saw Chen Qing, he was immediately shocked by Chen Qing's appearance, because the other person had lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, and his figure was slim.
Ever since Chen Qing learned about King Wu's rebellion, he knew that things were going to be bad.
Everyone in the Tsing Yi Gang will be convicted of treason, and the crime will be so severe that they will not even be able to save their lives.
Even though he had thought about the worst possibility on the way here, when things really happened, he still felt very desperate.
Yan Yunhe has always had this matter in his mind, but he was excluded from the smuggling case some time ago and was very passive. And because of Qi Shaolian, he was even more unable to plead for the Tsing Yi Gang in front of Emperor Cheng Jing.
Although Yan Yunhe was afraid of Emperor Cheng Jing, to a certain extent, he understood Emperor Cheng Jing.
Emperor Cheng Jing was very strict, and after becoming his confidant, Yan Yunhe was punished many times and warned countless times.
Every time after beating him, Yan Yunhe would be given appropriate comfort.
The thing about the Tsing Yi Gang is to appease Yan Yunhe.
Conspiracy is indeed a serious crime, but letting the Tsing Yi Gang go was just a matter of words from Emperor Cheng Jing, but for Yan Yunhe, it was a huge favor to him.
Yan Yunhe sometimes thought that Emperor Cheng Jing was really born to be the emperor, and there would be no one who could secure this position better than him.
He originally thought that Chen Qing would not get wind of it. After all, although the battle to arrest King Wu was huge, the case was still under trial and involved a scandal in the Tian family, so it would not spread to the public immediately.
But he still underestimated the speed of news spreading in the capital. Seeing Chen Qing's appearance, Yan Yunhe felt a little guilty.
He did not dare to delay, and immediately informed Chen Qing of the follow-up plans of everyone in the Tsing Yi Gang, as well as the arrangements he would make later.
After saying that, Yan Yunhe said again: "I'm sorry, I can only do so much."
He understood that this was different from what he and Chen Qing had promised. If Chen Qing blamed him, he could accept it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qing's legs went weak and she almost fell down.
Yan Yunhe immediately grabbed him, and before he could help him to the chair, Chen Qing knelt down on the ground excitedly. He hit his head heavily on the stone slab, so hard that blood came out.
"What are you doing!" Yan Yunhe said loudly.
Chen Qing had tears in his eyes: "My benefactor, you have done so much kindness to our Tsing Yi Gang, I will repay you as a cow or a horse in my next life."
Yan Yunhe supported his arms: "Get up first, don't talk like that. "
Chen Qing shook his head vigorously: "This crime is too great. It is not easy for them to survive. I know that it all depends on my benefactor. I, Chen Qing, will always obey my benefactor in this life! I will kill whoever you ask me to kill on the battlefield! ! "
Chen Qing is a reckless man, but he is not a completely ignorant fool. He knows how much help Yan Yunhe has helped.
Yan Yunhe saw him crying with excitement, and the depression in his heart also dissipated a little.
After Chen Qing thanked Yan Yunhe, he took the initiative to surrender, but Yan Yunhe stopped him: "Your wife is not about to give birth, why are you so anxious. When they arrive in Datong Town, it won't be too late for you to go over."
Chen Qing said . Qing came back to his senses, wiped away his snot and tears, and nodded vigorously.
Yan Yunhe said: "Later, I will send someone to pick up your wife, and you should take good care of her. Although your brother is your responsibility, your wife is also the one who will accompany you throughout your life, so you should not ignore it."
Chen Qing said with tears in her eyes . Okay, looking at it, I wish I could kneel down to Yan Yunhe and crack my head with two more bangs.
At the evening banquet, Yunhe was drinking in the house. Song Wen looked at him sadly not far away, but did not dare to persuade him.
Yan Yunhe drank to the moon alone for a while, then raised his glass to the eaves: "The view is so nice, come down and have a drink with me."
The eaves were quiet, no one spoke.
"Don't force me to go up and catch you." Yan Yunhe said,
but it was still quiet, as if Yan Yunhe was talking to himself in the air.
Yan Yunhe: "You should know that you can't run away from me, Yinniang."
As soon as he called me, there was a rustling movement from the direction of the eaves. Yinniang's head popped up and she looked at Yan Yunhe awkwardly.
She turned over, walked silently to the stone table, and sat down.
Yan Yunhe drank wine and asked distractedly: "How did the investigation go with the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Yinniang touched it from her sleeves. She was indeed the person in the Imperial City Division who had the information channel. In just a few days, Then I found the answer.
A sealed mailbox was placed in front of Yan Yunhe, but Yinniang didn't look at it.
Yan Yunhe reached out to take the mailbox and took out the note, but did not open it immediately to read it.
Yinniang drank some wine and frowned because of the bitterness: "Why do you drink something so bitter?"
Yan Yunhe held the piece of paper and smiled: "Is it bitter? It seems that it's not my imagination. I ate it today. " Everything feels bitter."
Yinniang said nothing, and Yan Yunhe put the note on the table without reading it, but picked up the wine glass again and drank.
"Don't you see it?" Yinniang asked.
Yanyunhe hummed, "I already know the answer."
Yinniang said, "How do you know the answer without looking?"
Yan Yunhe looked at Yinniang: "Everywhere, you can survive from desperate situations."
Of course Yinniang had read the contents of the mailbox. Now she had to report everything to Emperor Cheng Jing, but in Yan Yunhe's case On the other hand, as his good friend, she always has to live up to her reputation.
Yan Yunhe saw Yinniang's expression: "It seems I was right."
Yinniang drank half a glass of wine again, her facial features twisted, and she said dullly: "Yes, both."
Yanyun He didn't say anything anymore, he looked at Staring at the moon, she suddenly said to Yinniang: "I gave very important things in exchange and saved many lives."
Yinniang didn't know what Yanyun was referring to, but it didn't mean that she couldn't understand Yanyun now. Hey, how lonely.
"Is this thing more important than many lives?" Yinniang asked.
Yan Yunhe said in a daze: "Actually, I don't know if it's important. For him, this thing should be a trouble."
Looking at the note, Yan Yunhe suddenly shook his head and said: "Maybe it's important, but it's not that important. It's important. After all, there are many things in this life that are more important than this."
Yinniang was about to feel dizzy, and her head was a little dizzy after drinking.
She steeled herself and looked at Yan Yunhe's profile. At that moment, she felt Yan Yunhe's sadness.
Yinniang frowned: "Can't you just snatch it back? It's very important, so grab it and do whatever it takes to get it back!"
Yan Yunhe was startled by what she said, and then smiled: "How can there be so many in this world? We got what we wanted."
They drank a lot of wine. Yinniang lay down on the stone table in the middle of the night, her face flushed. She stared blankly at the moon with Yan Yunhe: "I once had a very important person.
"Later, in order to save him, I gave up a lot of things that were very important in the world." "
Actually, I don't care about those things. It's just that in the end, I tried all my methods and couldn't help him at all, and he was played for nothing. " "The scene."
Yan Yunhe's hand holding the cup paused. This was the first time he heard Yin Niang talk about himself.
He knew Yinniang when he returned to the capital after his father's death, met Emperor Cheng Jing, and was used by him.
Then he met Yinniang for the first time. At that time, Yinniang had been with Emperor Cheng Jing for a long time.
It was the first time that Yan Yunhe looked at this woman so seriously: "Who are you?"
Yinniang said with a nostalgic smile: "My brother."
Yan Yunhe said in a very low voice: "Who is the other one?"
Yinniang Seeing Yan Yunhe clenching the wine glass with blue veins on his hands, he smiled casually: "It was not your turn to avenge me. You would have been cut to pieces with a thousand knives, and your bones would have been shattered into ashes."
Yan Yunhe couldn't feel happy in his heart, though. He looked at Yinniang, wondering if there was really no shadow under the other person's smile.
Yinniang blinked and said with a smile: "My brother avenged me, and your majesty also avenged me."
Yan Yunhe couldn't help but laugh. He felt heavy and uncomfortable.
Yinniang patted him on the shoulder: "Let's be more relaxed. I recently discovered that my brother seems to have someone he likes."
Yan Yunhe smiled reluctantly: "The person your brother likes must be right. You have to be nice."
She looked at Yan Yunhe with gentle eyes: "I'm very lucky that that person is very nice and worth liking."
