Chapter 79 trouble

"Now there are many rumors in the envoys in Beijing that our court secretly sent people to kill the people of the English-Giri mission and seized the goods." Chu Yu sneered and handed the letter to Aunt Jin.

Feng Yi's news is one step faster than Aunt Jin.

Aunt Jin was stunned and then frowned: "It's ridiculous. Who would believe such a thing? How could a great country do such a despicable thing? It's just a little bit!"

Chu Yu sat on a stool, holding his cheek and looking at the shadow of the shaking tree outside the window: "Yes, who can believe it? But the missions from all countries who are coming now are afraid that they are very uneasy. If they are not my race, their hearts will be different. This statement is suitable for everyone, which makes the members of the group afraid, especially..."

She raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered: "I'm afraid someone will drag our Qiongist into the water."

Chu Yu probably didn't realize when she would start to treat herself as... Qin's family.

On the other hand, Tang Sesse noticed and said seriously: "The head of the sect is a member of the Tang family."

Chu Yu was stunned. The topic changed too quickly, and she hadn't reacted yet: "Ah..."

Aunt Jin: “….”

Chu Yu looked at Tang Sesse's serious look and wanted to laugh, but nodded: "All, yes, all."

She looked at Aunt Jin on the side, but saw Aunt Jin looking at her smile becoming more and more kind, and knew that she was very satisfied with what she had blurted out inadvertently.

Aunt Jin raised her hand and coughed twice, turning the topic back: "Cough cough, the little lady said that it was to drag our Qinjia into the water..."

Chu Yu nodded, and a sharp color flashed in his eyes: "That's right, it's what you think. Let's wait and see. This matter will definitely not be just a little bit of storm."

...

Everything was as Chu Yu expected. The letter to Shangjing was almost received the next day, and the influence of those "absurd legends" became increasingly greater.

Because of the practice of communicating with overseas countries, Dayuan naturally set up an envoy settlement area, which was near Xuanwu Street.

Many envoys and missionaries heard the news that "the English mission was killed and the priceless goods were secretly robbed by the Celestial Empire in the name of pirates." They did not believe it at first.

After all, the Heavenly Dynasty is so rich that its trade surplus is huge.

But the rumors were becoming more and more powerful, and the goods that were considered to be British missions also flowed to Shangjing, which made the envoys feel more and more uneasy.

The whole atmosphere was a bit weird.

And on this day... when the evening of the capital was in twilight, Xuanwu Street also entered a time of normal liveliness.

In an exotic tavern, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes came.

He walked in with a bag in his hand and looked at the noisy tavern, but saw that there were people wearing costumes from various countries, chatting and laughing loudly, raising glasses to drink, and sometimes there were the laughter of several Central Plains prostitutes dressed in Western clothes. The waiter in the hall was also a black-haired Central Plains man, which looked a bit inconsistent.

He looked around and sat down skillfully on a chair beside the door, and swayed with a small Western-style rattle on the table: "Dingdang, Dingdang!"

After a while, the waiter hurried over with a smile, but couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Chen? Your day to go to Beijing and wait for the Ministry of Revenue to fill you with the vacancy is about to end. I haven't seen you for many days, and my shopkeeper is still waiting for you to come and have a drink."

Where is Shangjing? It is a place where a brick can be thrown out and a third-rank official can be hit. In order to make up for the shortcomings every year, countless officials come up to wait for the order, and the consumption in Shangjing is naturally not as good as the place below.

Many local officials stayed in inns for a long time, and had to worry about their daily lives. They were not as easy as ordinary people in Beijing, and they were very down and had to live on credit and even pawn their own things.

Chen Da was also one of them. He was originally a county magistrate in a small coastal place. The waiter called him Mr. Chen because he often used his calligraphy and paintings and embroidery of his wife to come to the tavern to exchange for some silver and copper coins to live.

There are many taverns like this on Xuanwu Street, with many people from all over the country, and the people like objects from the Central Plains. It is well known that.

Seeing the contemptuous light in the eyes of the waiter, the middle-aged man who called Uncle Chen showed anger and arrogance on his face, and then said impatiently: "Go and tell your shopkeeper, I have made great contributions and will soon go to the post. There are still some rare goods in his hands. If he wants to, he will give it to him before leaving. If I leak something from my official hand, it will be enough for you to eat for the rest of your life."

Hearing this, the waiter looked up and down at Uncle Chen, his eyes stopped on his brocade clothes, and then said with a smile: "Oh, you are so developed, I will notify the shopkeeper now."

As he said that, he served tea for Uncle Chen diligently and turned around immediately.

This tavern was run by a Spanish, called Diego. He was a chef on the boat. He originally came to the Central Plains just to work with the boat. Later, he envied the prosperity of the Central Plains and did not want to do the hard work on the boat anymore. He followed the people to Shangjing and simply took root in Xuanwu Street to open a tavern, specializing in the business of foreigners, and some private pawns. More than ten years have passed in a flash.

The shopkeeper Diego naturally recognized Chen Da. Upon hearing this, his gray-blue eyes turned, and asked someone to invite Chen Da into the room he planned. He smiled and bowed to the people of Zhongyuan with a strange but fluent pronunciation. He asked him: "Oh, Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, can you be healthy?"

Chen Da nodded arrogantly: "Thank you, shopkeeper Diego. The Japanese official will take office soon. Today, there are some things you need. If you exchange some money, I will not forget you in the future."

Nadigo smiled and said, "Okay."

As he said that, he watched Chen Da take out the bag and open it.

As soon as the bag was opened, Diego's eyes lit up.

There were many extremely exquisite fan faces inside, exactly the same, and there were several excellent ornate brocade pillow covers. The exquisite embroidery workmanship was at least twenty or thirty taels of silver.

Diego looked through it and was very satisfied: "Where did you get good things? These things are not many in the large shops selling embroidery in Shangjing."

Chen Da said a little arrogantly and impatiently: "You care about so much, just say you will accept it?"

Diego flipped over the things with love and smiled, "Cache, what else do you have to do with it!"

These things can be sold for a large price when he is brought back to China in private.

Then the two bargained, and both sides were able to consider something that satisfies each other.

Chen Da weighed the silver bag in his hand, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "I have something else here, do you think you want it?"

As he said that, he hesitated for a while, took out a small pocket from his clothes and handed it to Diego.

Diego touched his big belly with one hand, took the pocket with the other, poured out the things inside, and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment: "Is this...?"

"This should be something from Fanbang. It is the decorations worn by some women, all of which are pure gold and pearls. Just look at it and give it a price. I'm too lazy to use it to the pawn shop. Anyway, I can't afford the price there." Chen Da said.

Diego looked at the exquisite 'headwear' in his hand, and his gray-blue eyes trembled slightly. Then when he raised his eyes, he still smiled when facing Chen Da: "Okay, this is a treasure. We will give you a price to get the silver."

As he said that, Diego made a gesture to ask for another inner room.

Chen Da didn't think much, but just touched his beard arrogantly and nodded: "Okay."

When he turned around, he did not see the gloomy light in Diego's eyes. Then, taking advantage of the moment he turned around, Diego suddenly grabbed a vase by the table and smashed it hard on Chen Da's head.

"Bang!"

Chen Da shook and turned around, looked at Diego in disbelief, then his eyes turned dark and he fell down.

...

Half a month later.

Yunzhou

"Transfer the imperial edict of Your Majesty, and the Lord of Yu'an County and the delegations of various countries to clarify the missing goods of the English delegation in the Yunzhou Yamen Hall."

An imperial edict was directly passed to Qinjia Embroidery Workshop.

Chu Yu looked at the imperial edict, then looked at the brocade box beside him. There was an exquisite jade order with a capital letter "Su" on it.

"Eunuch Shen..." Her eyes turned to the middle-aged eunuch sitting on her right side drinking tea.

Eunuch Shen, who came to pass the order, was born with a white and fat look with kind eyebrows and smiled at Chu Yu, "This is the Su family token that the old lady asked me to bring you. If you have any needs, just use this token, and the Su family dare not refuse to obey."

Looking at the glittering look in the eyes of Eunuch Shen, Chu Yu knew that this person must be her grandmother... no... one of the grandmother's confidants, otherwise how could she bring this important token? She gave her the thing so harshly.

"Our family should live in Yunzhou for some time, waiting to find out the truth. If the princess has anything to ask, just ask our family." Eunuch Shen smiled.

Chu Yu also smiled gently: "Then I'll bother my father-in-law."

She may not know what connections the Su family has, but this Eunuch Shen must have known it.

The old lady was giving her someone, worried that she wouldn't be able to handle this.

No matter what, Chu Yu still felt warm for the old man's heart.

"Looking at this matter, I'm afraid it's a big deal. Now the envoys say that we have attacked the British mission everywhere, saying that we have seized the evidence, and even made a name to the Golden Palace. No one among the people was instigated, and they only thought that the foreigners were falsely accusing us. Then many people rushed to Xuanwu Street and smashed and robbed. I think you know it." Eunuch Shen sighed.

"After the matter got a big deal, someone had already handed over a letter of nationality, asking us to give the missions of various countries an explanation, otherwise... maybe we would go to war together. Your Majesty will hand over this matter to you. The old lady is very worried." Eunuch Shen frowned.
