Chapter 170 Touched Her Bottom Line
a few days later.

Jiang Xian looked at the letter handed over by his subordinates, glanced at it, checked it, then refolded it and handed it back to Ling Yuan: "Yes."

Ling Yuan said, "Then I'll send someone to put it into the bamboo blind."

The so-called cover bamboo is a cylinder about a foot long.There is a small opening about three inches square on the top, which allows the whistleblower to stuff the paper with the content of the disclosure into the tube, which is used to report and expose those who use power for personal gain.

In fact, the general whistle-blowers now use wire (xiàng) tubes, which only go in and out.If someone secretly throws in the report slips, they can be hooked out with iron bars, or smashed into pieces.

Only a censor surnamed Li in the court hall felt that the majestic tunnel was set up next to the official gate, and the confidentiality was not good, which would make the whistleblowers scruples.It is better to set up bamboo shields in back alleys, so as to avoid people's eyes and ears, and to facilitate reporting.

What Jiang Xian reported in this letter was the plum blossom case last year.The case has never been concluded, and no new case has appeared for a long time, and the government has gradually relaxed and stopped taking care of it.

If Xiao Huairen hadn't provoked her, she wouldn't have tried to startle the snake and waste her time trying to meddle in such nosy matters.

Ling Yuan took the paper and waited for Jiang Xian's instructions. Jiang Xian was about to nod, but after pondering for a moment, she said, "Go in person after dark, and take the letter after seeing Li Yushi before leaving."

Li Yushi is also a very special existence. When reporting the matter of the crown prince, other courtiers absolutely stay away.But Li Yushi was so upright and pedantic that he could never tolerate sand in his eyes.

And the emperor was very tolerant towards him, probably because he felt that the existence of Li Yushi proved that he was a wise king.

As long as Li Yushi gets the news, it will be enough for Xiao Huairen to drink a pot.

What's more, although Xiao Huairen is the crown prince, it is not so easy to be deposed, but someone must come forward to take the blame for this matter.The leading Xiao Yuling is a choice, as is Qian Xuechao, who is also a henchman of the prince and has dirty hands.

Xiao Huairen and Qian Xuechao touched Jiang Xian's bottom line, no matter who could be dealt with first, Jiang Xian didn't stop to catch them all.

at night.

As usual, Li Yushi went to see if there was any paper in the bamboo screen he had set up in the back alley, but suddenly he saw a black figure flashing past.

Li Yushi scratched his head, looked around a few times, and walked back to the position where the bamboo was placed.

Before he got close, he saw the paper notes overflowing from the bamboo.

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Is this reporting too many messages, or writing too many words in one message?

Li Yushi was even more surprised when he got all the papers in the bamboo.Usually, the report he sees should be "what did so-and-so do" - but this time, it is so complete that it lists all the evidence to him one by one.

It seemed that the other party just wanted to tell the emperor about it through his mouth.But he doesn't care, anyway, his duty is to play rumors.

Li Yushi was still a little curious, so he sat down on the floor and looked at them one by one. The more he looked at them, the darker his face became, and he frowned and shook his head again and again.

Narrow-minded and blind!All these things are actually done by a crown prince!

If the world is handed over to such stubborn people, the country will be in danger!

This is not a trivial matter, and Li Yushi is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat.What was said on the paper still needs to be investigated by him one by one.

Li Yushi folded a piece of paper, stuffed it on his sleeve, and walked out of the back alley angrily.

What he didn't know was that after he left, Ling Yuan came from the dark and scanned the scene to see if there were any mistakes.

After confirming, Ling Yuan went back to report.

Next, they just had to wait for news from Li Yushi.

……

The Ching Ming Festival in the 27th year of Xinghong was on the second day of March. Daughters of this dynasty were not allowed to worship their ancestors and go to the grave. Jiang Pinghou and Mrs. Hou only took Jiang Yan to the Jiang family's ancestral grave.

Although Jiang Sheng made complaints about this custom and felt that it was definitely a bad habit, he was also happy to relax.It is even more lest the ancestors of the Jiang family find out that she is not their granddaughter and scare her in their dreams.

She slept right up to Sishizheng that day.After sleeping for too long, when I woke up, I felt back pain and was still sleepy.

Looking at Shan Nai who was combing her hair by the copper mirror, Jiang Sheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and asked casually, "Do you think I'm fat?"

Shan Nai combed Jiang Sheng's long hair down with a white jade comb, and the hair fell down along the comb teeth: "No, and the servant girl seems to be thinner."

Shan Nai made a gesture: "Look, this long tassel palace sash is even longer."

Jiang Sheng was about to speak, but couldn't help but yawned before responding: "Really."

In fact, Jiang Sheng didn't think she was fat or thin, but she slept too much every day.

From five or six hours to six or seven hours, and last night I slept for a full eight hours.

Pigs don't sleep like this.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Sheng's doubts, Shan Zhi smiled and said, "Girl is indeed a little lazy these days."

"But it's normal to be sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and nap in winter."

Jiang Sheng lowered his eyes, concealed by his long eyelashes.

Shanna finally inserted an upside-down lotus hairpin into her hair, tidied up, and went to Yunyan Pavilion with Shanzhi.

Jiang Sheng studied her needle crossbow in the courtyard.

This needle crossbow is indeed a good thing.Although she is not good at aiming, but the needle crossbow can fire five needles at a time, and the area of ​​the person is so large, she can always hit a few needles.

Jiang Sheng pointed at the newly made target in front of him, the needle just flew out and sank into the wooden plank covered with straw, when he heard a clear and curious voice from the side: "What is this?"

It's Qiao Zhi.

Jiang Sheng was a little surprised. When Qiao Zhi came to the Hou's mansion, most of the time he would post the post first.Not to mention going directly to Yusheng Courtyard.

The woman who brought Qiao Zhi over saluted and said, "Miss, this servant happened to see Miss Qiao got off the carriage at the concierge, so she brought her here."

Jiang Sheng nodded: "It's okay, you go to work first."

The mother-in-law withdrew after hearing this.

Qiao Zhi walked in with a smile, and seemed to see her doubts: "My parents, aunt, and the others have all gone to the ancestral house, only my sister and I are in the house, and my sister is embroidering tiger-toed shoes for my unborn nephew. Too much chatter..."

Qiao Zhi spread his hands: "I'm bored staying in my own yard, so I just came to play with you."

And according to previous years, the ancestral house is neither far nor near, but it is too rushed to go back and forth in one day.The elders must rest for one night before coming back.

Qiao Zhi leaned over and glanced at the crossbow in Jiang Sheng's hand: "I thought my aunt and uncle should also go to worship ancestors, are you bored by yourself?
She raised her eyebrows triumphantly: "It's just that I'm here to accompany you, see how caring I am."

The needles of the crossbow were quenched with medicine. Jiang Sheng was afraid of accidentally injuring him, so he put it away when he saw Qiao Zhi coming.

Qiao Zhi didn't care, and instead asked, "How about the last time you said you were going to open a bookstore?"

Jiang Sheng replied: "I asked, and the matter should be reported to the Zhujing Office first, but the address has not been selected yet, so I am not in a hurry to go through the formalities."

"As for the location...the dental store has a few vacant shops, but they are either too small to store a few books, or the rent is too high because of the location."

Neither is suitable.

The budget for building a building on flat land is even higher. It's not that Jiang Sheng can't afford it, it's just that it's unnecessary.It is even more meaningless if the bookstore cannot earn back its capital in three to five years after it has been opened.

Qiao Zhi rolled her eyes: "Oh."

After a pause, Qiao Zhi suddenly whispered, "Isn't there a bookstore in the south of the city? I want to ask if they accept manuscripts."

Jiang Sheng tilted his head.

In the south of the city... a green-level bookstore?
