Chapter 480 (1/2)
By the time xinpingcheng arrived, it was already dark. Generally, the gate will be closed when it's dark. Yuxi was very worried and said, ”it's going to be delayed for one night. I'm not sure that the general will lead the troops into the city in two hours in the morning.”
”Don't worry, madam,” said the coachman, ”even if the gate is closed, I can get into the city.” Mr. Xia specially arranged to see his wife off. It must be more than just driving.
When I got to the gate, I saw that it was closed. However, the coachman shouted that there was an urgent military situation, and that the gate of the city would be opened soon if it was to be sent to the capital.
The coachman and master Yang have changed positions. The coachman has become the master of the army and master Yang has become the coachman. As for Corydalis, it's also in the carriage.
The little head of the gate checked the token handed out by the coachman, and then immediately opened the gate. Out of the gate, looking at a carriage is very strange, asked: ”who is this carriage?” Yucheng often has emergency documents sent to the capital, so as long as there is a token, you can go there.
The coachman said with a cold face, ”don't ask if you shouldn't ask.”
After entering, the coachman took master Yang to the post station. Yuxi and Corydalis got on and off the carriage halfway, and then went to the magistrate's Yamen according to the map. By this time, magistrate Tan had already fallen asleep.
Yuxi said to the porter, ”please show this letter to your magistrate. He will meet me after reading it.” And when she had said this, she gave the Porter five liang of silver.
When the porter heard that Yuxi said it was important, he dared not delay. He immediately took the letter in and closed the door again, confiscating the silver.
Corydalis said with a smile, ”I'm still sitting in the bedroom, reading the records, but I still haven't slept. See the steward sent a letter, immediately opened to see, after reading said: ”please welcome the guests in.”
After a while, Yuxi followed the Butler into the magistrate's Yamen. Yuxi had known all the things about Tan Tuo before, but it was the first time to meet him.
Magistrate Tan's eyes were very sharp. He only looked at Yuxi and corydalis and knew that it was a woman: ”I don't know why the two girls dressed like this.” Yuxi and Corydalis are all men's clothes.
Yuxi said with a smile, ”magistrate Tan, I'm the fourth aunt of the Han family. I've been hearing about the great name of magistrate tan. I'm glad to see it today. ”
Tan Tuo's face changed and asked, ”madam, is something wrong with Yucheng?” Tan Tuo's first reaction was to think that something had changed in Yucheng. Otherwise, as the wife of Yunqing, Yuxi could not appear in Xinping city in the middle of the night.
Yuxi said: ”don't worry, governor tan. The general is very good and Yucheng is very good. I came here this time to tell you something. ”
Knowing it wasn't Yunqing's accident with Yucheng, magistrate Tan was relieved. But soon he came to his senses again and said, ”madam, what can I do for you?”
”Don't you worry,” asked Corydalis, puzzled. ”The letter is true, and the man is false?” Corydalis had no words for such a coarse nerve as magistrate tan. I don't need to verify my identity. I just talk about it.
Tan Zhifu smiled and said, ”I still have this ability.” Yuxi said an authentic Beijing dialect, and his appearance was similar to what he knew. If you believe, where can you admit your mistake. What's more, even if you admit your mistake, it will be for him to discuss matters, not for him to take the initiative. If it is found wrong, it will be caught directly.
Yuxi smiled helplessly and said, ”you think everyone is the same as you!” This will be tan Tuo's territory.
Tan Zhifu is not in the mood to chat. He asks, ”what can I do for my wife?” Yuxi can come here disguised as a man. It's absolutely a big event.
After saying this, magistrate Tan immediately asked the steward to guard outside, forbidding anyone to approach, and then said with Yuxi, ”madam, now you can say it.”
Yuxi then said, ”we have the evidence of Xu's treason. The general wants to check Xu's house.” After a pause, he said to magistrate Tan, ”governor Tan should know the current situation of the border city, right? From the beginning of the year to now, the court has allocated 1.8 million silver. But these silver are only enough to pay for the army. There are only half a cent of the materials for 100000 soldiers to spend the winter. ”
Tan Zhifu is not stupid, and how can he not know what Yuxi's words mean: ”you want to check Xu's family and use Xu's money to buy materials for the winter?” Seeing Yuxi nodding, Tan Zhifu flatly refused and said, ”do you know that if you do this, Yunqing will be dismissed, and if you do, you will be sent back to the capital for questioning?” Without any approval, Yunqing dares to lead the soldiers and scribes, and cannot allow him to use the money he has copied. This is a big taboo of the superior.
Yuxi naturally knows the consequences are serious. Otherwise, how could she come here specially: ”so, I want to ask governor Tan for help in this matter.”
