Xiao Yu walked into Chen Xinyu's yard and watched her and Xiao Ming sitting in the yard talking. She seemed to be in a good mood.
"Where are your two brothers?" Xiao Yu said as he walked over, sat down, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite.
Chen Xinyu heard Xiao Yu's voice and wanted to turn around and salute, but Xiao Yu stopped her: "You don't need to salute when you see me in the future."
Chen Xinyu nodded and said, "They stayed with me for a while, and then were called by General Zhao. The eldest brother went to follow His Highness the Crown Prince, and the second brother returned to the military camp." "
Xiao Yu chewed the sweet-scented osmanthus pastry and nodded: "It's not as delicious as your mother's."
Chen Xinyu smiled: "Your Majesty, I can also cook it. Do you want to try what I made tonight?"
"You can do it too? Okay." Xiao Yu took another bite and continued: "Would you like to go out with me for a walk and show you the world?"
Chen Xinyu nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, Xiao Ming, you are in the mansion, Ning Shu will come with us." After Xiao Yu said that, he took Chen Xinyu out.
When they reached the courtyard, Xiao Yunli said: "Fifth uncle, where are you taking Miss Chen?" After speaking, he looked at them with a smile.
Chen Xinyu blushed when she asked.
"Go out for a walk." Xiao Yu replied
"Can I go then?" Xiao Yunli asked expectantly.
"Okay, let's go and call Prefect Wang." Xiao Yu said helplessly.
After a while, Taishou Wang came: "I see His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Yan."
The prince helped Taishou Wang up and said, "Master Wang, please get up. No need to be polite."
After Wang Taishou got up, he looked at Chen Xinyu who was beside Xiao Yu: "I'm here to see you, the princess."
Chen Xinyu was stunned and said: "Ah, I am..."
"Ahem, cough, cough," Xiao Yu coughed twice and said, "This is Chen Xinyu, the daughter of Mr. Chen, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Her two brothers are under the command of General Zhao. She came to visit them, so she came with us. .”
"It turns out that she is Lord Chen's daughter. Weichen was favored by Lord Chen when she was young. I saw Miss Chen when she was a child, but I didn't expect that she would grow up to be so beautiful. She would become a beautiful girl like a flower and stand with the prince, so I misunderstood her. Miss Chen, please don't be a good girl for what Wei Chen said just now." Wang Taishou bowed to Chen Xinyu and apologized.
"Master Wang, you don't have to be like this. Those who don't know are not guilty. It's no big deal. And I've heard my father mention you. He said that you are a good official who benefits the people." Chen Xinyu said with a smile.
Taishou Wang sighed and said, "Well, now that the world is unjust and Qingzhou is in chaos, I really feel ashamed of the imperial court."
Xiao Yunli said: "Master Wang, if it weren't for you, Qingzhou would have been in chaos. It is a blessing for our country to have a good official like you in Daliang."
Xiao Yu and Chen Xinyu also smiled and nodded.
Taishou Wang was moved and knelt down and said, "I thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your trust!"
Xiao Yunli helped him up.
Several people came to the inn where Nanchen merchant, who was doing business in Qingzhou, was staying.
"They gather on the first floor during meal time. At other times, they can rest in the room. Except that they are not allowed to go out to the inn, there are no restrictions on them inside. The meals are provided by the inn, and the cost of daily meals will be borne by the soldiers. Report it to the prefect's residence and the government will reimburse you." Prefect Wang said to Xiao Yunli and Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yunli thought for a while and said: "It is not an option to continue like this. The government cannot bear it. Let's check first to see if there are any suspicious persons. If not, let them go."
Xiao Yu also thought for a moment and said: "There must be unidentified people inside. The Nanchen people who come to Daliang to do business all have government-issued books. Some of these people definitely don't. They are fishing in troubled waters and sneaking in. Wait until Daliang has nothing to do." After crossing the border, they returned to Nanchen safe and sound."
Xiao Yunli nodded in agreement.
"Call them down and gather them."
More than 500 Nanchen merchants from Qingzhou were gathered together.
They didn't know what was going to happen, and there was some panic on their faces.
At this time, Prefect Wang called out: "The people sitting in front of you are my Highness the Crown Prince of Daliang and His Highness Prince Yan."
After Wang Taishou finished speaking, the businessmen became even more panicked, thinking that they were doomed.
Someone knelt down and shouted: "Your Highness, we are all businessmen, not assassins. Don't kill us!"
Chen Xinyu looked a little pitiful at them, but she also knew that some of them were just pretending to be pitiful. There must be good people and bad people among these people.
Xiao Yunli stood up and said: "The two countries have broken up, but the people are innocent. I promise you that as long as you are serious businessmen, I, Daliang, will not harm any of you, but! Are there any of you? Suspicious people must be carefully checked and hand in the merchant book issued to you by the government. You can bring it over to see how many people are in the book. After reading it, you should stand on the right side and stand on the left side if there is no book."
After a while, the 513 merchants were divided into 500 people on the right and 13 people on the left.
After Xiao Yunli finished reading, he discussed with Xiao Yu: "Fifth Uncle, do you want to take all thirteen people away?"
Xiao Yu thought for a while and was about to start before Chen Xinyu said: "There must be suspicious people among these thirteen people, but there must be some collusion among the five hundred people on the right to identify their names randomly, and all the suspicious people among these thirteen people must be It is not very important, so the names in the book were given to important people, so the thirteen people were taken away to the government prison, and the five hundred people continued to be imprisoned here. The important people among these five hundred people I am afraid that these thirteen people will tell the truth and things will be revealed, so we will definitely take action today."
Xiao Yu and his eldest nephew were shocked after hearing this.
"Okay, Fifth Aunt, you are so smart." Xiao Yunli said with a smile.
Chen Xinyu blushed and said, "Ah, I, I, I am not."
Xiao Yu coughed and said, "Just do as Xin Yu said."
"Take all these thirteen people away!"
