Chapter 50: Are You Accusing Me?

Xiao Mingchen left in a hurry, leaving no explanation. Xia Feng picked up the letter he threw on the table and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he didn't see a reason.

The letter contains information on the transfer of official posts in the northwest in recent years, and there is no other superfluous information. Looking at this concise and scrawled handwriting, eighty percent of it comes from the hand of Li Feng.

This guy is obviously one of the best soldiers in the Xia family's army, a handsome soldier, but now he has become an errand runner beside King Ning. And he himself was still very energetic, making a small report to Xia Feng at every turn.

Most of these small reports are insignificant little things, such as: which beautiful maid His Royal Highness King Ning said a few words to, who he glanced at twice more when walking on the road, and how long he was in a daze at night.

Xia Feng thought it was quite interesting at first, and after listening to him report in detail a few times, he felt that this behavior was not very good. Some were obscene, and some were shameless, so they ordered Li Feng to shut up.

She pinched the two pages of paper that she couldn't read, and carefully observed the study of His Royal Highness King Ning.

This study room was arranged by Qian Shan, in line with Xia Feng's consistent simple and clear aesthetics, except for a sword on the table, a bow on the wall, there were no extra items, and there were not a few books in it.

Xiao Mingchen had not lived in the Xia Mansion a few times, and the study still maintained the original furnishings, and the military book that was originally placed on the shelf was placed next to the case. Qian Shan had only read the book of soldiers, and there were naturally no other books in the study she packed up except the book of soldiers.

The brand-new book of soldiers had traces of slight flipping, Xia Feng opened it and looked at it, almost every page had annotations made by the fly head Xiaokai, and the handwriting was neat.

Xia Feng has hated reading books since he was a child, especially small ones, and began to yawn after reading two pages. She was sleepily rummaging on Xiao Mingchen's desk, and suddenly there was a knock outside the door.

The maid's brittle voice came in, and Xia Feng suddenly sobered up.

The people she arranged to go to Xiao Mingchen's yard were all her own people, where did this come from outside?

"Come in.

A little maid with a double bun and a narrow-sleeved pink jacket pushed the door with a food box, and saw Xia Feng Yingying bowed: "Miss, the slave is ordered by my lady to send some snacks to His Royal Highness King Ning."

Xia Feng recognized at a glance that this was the big maid in Aunt Wei's house, and his eyes darkened: "Okay, just put things down, you go out." That's

a very unkind statement.

The pink maid usually followed Aunt Wei to deal with the trivialities of the inner house, and she had never received such a cold reception, her face changed, and she went out unnaturally.

Xia Feng saw her walk out of the courtyard and knocked on the table with his fingers: "Guan Er, come in, I know you are hiding on the roof." The

door of the room was knocked open with a 'bang', and the short Guan Er fell to the ground with a roll, and said in horror: "Great handsome, the concealment technique of subordinates does not dare to be called unmatched, at least it is proficient, you... How did you find out?

"You scared the sparrow. Xia Feng opened the food box in his hand, flipped through all the snacks inside, and broke them one by one.

"What's this about sparrows? Guan Er looked distressed and swallowed his saliva: "Shuai, if you don't eat it, don't spoil it, you can reward it to your subordinates." "

The sparrow call is different, and I can hear your deliberately hidden breath." Xia Feng threw the food box in his hand to him, "See if there is any problem?" Also, in the future, outsiders who enter King Ning's courtyard will give me a careful check, and everyone else will be let in.

Guan Er didn't see a reason, but instead saw that his stomach screamed twice, and he threw the snack into his mouth: "This is Xia Mansion, what can be the problem?" It's not going to hide poison. "

Tibet..." he said for a long time, and turned his head mechanically: "Shuai, I don't feel very good." Then

his eyes were closed and he fell to the ground. After pouring for a while, he got up and touched his whole body: "No, why am I not dead?"

"Poisoning is the most clumsy means. Xia Feng stared at him, "Guan Er, Xia Mansion does not mean safety, and in the future, several of you on duty will give me some spirit." Although you are King Ning's person, if something goes wrong, I will kill it!"

"Yes, yes. Guan Er knelt on one knee, "Guaranteed, definitely, absolutely."

". Xia Feng stopped looking at him, pondered for a long time, and pulled the pastries in the food box to his hand, breaking them one by one and tasting them carefully. She tasted it all, then pressed her fingers to her throat and vomited them all.

The taste of this box of pastries was not quite right, and the sweetness was mixed with this subtle but indescribable taste, which was not the same as the dim sum she had last time in Aunt Wei's house.

Xia Feng did not immediately carry the snack to the doctor for identification, and then went to face off in Aunt Wei's courtyard. She rinsed her mouth and sat back down, unable to tell what she was feeling in her heart at the moment.

The Wei family is her mother's family, and Aunt Wei is her own aunt, even if her feelings are indifferent, in the end, the blood is connected. Xia Feng suddenly remembered his mother who died early, was his mother's death in battle related to the Wei family, and did it come from the hands of relatives?

In the evening, Xiao Mingchen returned from outside, and as soon as he entered the backyard, he heard a burst of crying, including maids and small houses, crying crookedly. The smell of blood in the garden had not yet dissipated, and several families rudely pulled away the weeping servants.

Ignoring all this, he led the people around, returned to his yard, and went straight to the study.

As expected, Xia Feng was really busy in the study, the candle flame did not know how long it had been burning, the lights flickered and sounded, and she ignored it.

Xiao Mingchen walked in and picked up the scissors on the side, cut off the wicks of the flames one by one, and asked: "What's the matter, killing people at home, you are not afraid that your father will scold you?"

"Kill some people. "Xia Feng was burying his head in the case, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Xiao Mingchen said, "Is it Aunt Wei?"

"How do you know? Xia Feng frowned and looked up at him.

"The people in this mansion that you can't easily deal with, I'm afraid there are no others except Aunt Wei, right? Xiao Mingchen stepped forward to see that the thing in her hand turned out to be a piece of animal skin, and the words on it were crooked and crawling like ghost drawings, obviously not from the Central Plains.

"Wei Yu's hand can really stretch out, the person my mother brought over with her back then, and the Aunt Wei who sent it later, are all nails that he planted. Xia Feng sneered, "Let the dog eat his family bones."

"Wei Yu should be Wang Mao's person, although I don't know what exactly is the deal between the two, I speculate that Wei Yu has always been obedient to Wang Mao." Xiao Mingchen raised his hand and poured two cups of tea and brought one to her, "I met Liang Ping in the afternoon, and the Yanzhou Army fake sound can probably be deduced."

"What do you say?

"The batch of inferior copper coins in Yanzhou was not minted by the Wei family. Copper mines in the northwest are scarce, and the Wei family does not have such a big hand, and this batch of money comes from the Huainan Wang clan. Xiao Mingchen's fingers slowly rubbed the teacup, "Along the way, all the way to the checkpoint, everywhere inspected, just sent to Huaiyuan."

"If it weren't for Yu Handan's two more glances, this batch of evil money would have been paid as military salaries." Xia Feng clenched her fists tightly, 'rattling', and the ink jade pen barrel made her break abruptly in her hand: "Even if it was like the sky back then, Wang Mao's hand could not reach into the Northwest Army, and the only person who could help him could be the family." It's a pity that I have no evidence, what exactly did you find today? "

Salt and Iron Division officials transferred. Five years ago, the supervisor sent by the government to the Wei family's money kiln was killed, and in the following years, many officials of the salt and iron department had accidents. Xiao Mingchen saw that a good wolf was not spoiled, and his heart hurt for a moment.

"The power of salt and iron in the northwest has been in the hands of the clan for many years, and the official government only has the right to supervise. You have never been attentive to general affairs, and Mr. Fan wears many hats, so it is difficult to cover everything. Some people took advantage of the opportunity to exploit loopholes and exclude dissidents. "

"I have always been cautious about things from Shengjing, with so much money, how can I quietly avoid everyone's eyes?" Xia Feng wondered.

"This batch of evil money does not come from Shengjing on the surface. Xiao Mingchen took her hand and cut out the pen barrel that was broken into several segments, "After they were sent to the northwest, they pretended to be the officials of the northwest money kiln, and they were sent to Yanzhou as military salaries." And where did the copper coins minted by the Saga money kiln go?

"This group of bastards! Xia Feng said angrily, "The family has sent Wang Mao money for a few years, what does Liang Ping eat?"

"He can't be blamed for that. Xiao Mingchen threw the broken jade aside, walked around the table and grabbed her comfortably, "Northwest evil money has been since it has been promoted, and in recent years, it has been promoted by people with intentions, and it has begun to flood, and those in power have never made up their minds to rectify it. Even if Liang Ping found the clue, it was difficult to start.

Xia Feng pushed the person away and looked at him strangely: "Are you accusing me?" His Royal Highness King Ning.

"The Central Plains lacks copper, iron money is inconvenient to use, and gold and silver are extremely scarce, so evil money is rampant." This dilemma has existed since its inception, and no solution has been found.

Xiao Mingchen raised his right palm and made an oath: "Heaven and earth conscience, I am just stating the facts."

"Just pointed at my nose and scolded, are you still reasonable?" Xia Feng glared at him, and suddenly pulled the person under the lamp and looked at him vigorously.

Except that he is a little more handsome than ordinary people, it seems that there is nothing special.

Xiao Mingchen's face was slightly red, and she felt hairy in her heart: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, no, make sure you're still alive." Xia Feng sighed secretly in disappointment, and in an instant his mind ran to another place: "Why hasn't Xiao Jing run to the Western Capital yet, it's been a few months, and this old turtle is also strange for running for his life."

"Lu Nong Zhuobei didn't get the slightest benefit on his trip, but fought for no reason, and it was not so easy to let him go to Xijing to become the emperor." Xiao Mingchen was also not curious about what she was looking at, hugged the person, and the two people were crooked by the candle fire: "You Crane has also made Lu Nongzhuo toss enough recently, let's see how he copes."

"I said why Yan Lin hasn't bothered you recently. Xia Feng raised his hand and pulled his hair.

Suddenly, there was a series of knocks outside the door, and Qian Shan said angrily: "Miss, Mrs. Wei is now in our yard, looking for death to see you, you hurry back, I... I can't handle her. Xia

Feng's fingers just touched Xiao Mingchen's crown, and when he heard this, he was inexplicably irritable and didn't want to deal with her.

Xiao Mingchen chuckled: "Go and see, I'll accompany you." "
