After rebirth, White Lotus forced her husband to be a good man

Qin Yu nodded with a deep smile, walked to the long mahogany desk, wrote a short message in front of Liu Shuang, and sent his men to Li Chong at the Privy Council immediately.

Liu Shuang was grateful and did not stay any longer. Instead, he took the time to return to the inn. However, when he walked to the door, he saw his colleagues and people who looked like guards in front of the door making a noise about something. There were a circle of people standing around holding hands. The tall-headed guard with an iron sword looked menacing.

Liu Shuang stepped forward. The leading man looked at him coldly and glanced at him from feet to head. He saw that although he was plainly dressed, he was wearing an official jade of the third grade, so he restrained himself slightly and stepped back half way. Bu Baoquan said, "This one must be Mr. Liu Shuangliu, the inspector of the Jiangnan Imperial Council. We were ordered by Marquis Wu to send seven of them out of the capital. However, when we just checked, we saw that some of them did not have the emperor's signature." The customs clearance document was approved, and I left my post and went to Beijing privately from the National Treasury without review. I am afraid that you, sir, will have to come with me for this matter."

The group of civil servants behind him became angry and argued with each other, "Inspector Liu, don't listen to his nonsense. Why do we, the imperial officials, need any clearance documents when we go to Beijing to report on our duties? It's all nonsense!"

The guard straightened his back and said in a reasonable manner, "It seems that your lords are not very well informed. After Wu Hou took office, he gave clear instructions to the personnel of important treasury in various places, not only the financial If the managers of the treasury, or even the border officers, do not have documents signed by the emperor, as long as they enter the capital privately, they will be charged with treason! I hope you are aware of this and go with your subordinates!"

"This, this is really bullying..."

"It's tolerable, but who can't be tolerated!" The officials around him blushed with embarrassment.

The vast majority of officials in Congwen care very much about honor and integrity, and the damage caused by humiliation is even higher than life. Many of these old officials are the former subordinates of the former wise minister Lan Taijing, and they treat honor and integrity even more seriously. Take it seriously.

Not only were they not notified of the temporary changes to the rules, but they were randomly labeled as such.Jiang Fan regarded this group of people as an accompaniment to scare the monkeys, and wanted to show his authority in the government.

There was no panic in Liu Shuang's expression. He took out a document with a seal from his sleeves and handed it to him proudly in the eyes of the leading guard with doubts.

The guard took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a signed customs clearance document, with the latest dates.

Liu Shuang's big mung bean eyes glanced sharply back and forth on the faces of everyone in front of him, and he said to the leader, "I am waiting for Jiangnan's official, except for reporting on my duties in March, I spend most of the year in the six departments of Jiangnan. It is inevitable that I don't know the rules of the new official, but I made a joke. Please tell Mr. Jiang that I have received his concern for us. Here is the customs clearance document, can we leave the capital?"

The guard looked at it and handed the thin piece of paper to the adjutant standing next to him. The man looked at it carefully and nodded hesitantly at him, which meant that it was indeed true.

The guard's eyes rolled.When leaving the house, Jiang Fan gave special instructions, saying that people like Liu Shuang and others are cunning and cunning people who are still trying to use the back door to deceive the superiors and subordinates. They should be warned and beaten when they are in the capital, otherwise they will become disasters in the future. Great bug.

But now Liu Shuang got this customs clearance document from nowhere, and it was difficult to find any other reason to keep them detained, so the guard clasped his fists and bowed his head, "Excuse me, Mr. Liu, your document complies with the regulations, but It is getting late today. According to the imperial etiquette, officials of third rank and above are not allowed to enter or leave the capital at night except under special circumstances. Please rest here for the time being, and my subordinates will escort you out of the capital tomorrow morning."

The accompanying officials were not happy when they heard this and started to make a fuss as they spoke. Liu Shuang raised his eyes and glanced at them sternly. The scholar swore out loud, turned around and reluctantly went upstairs.

Liu Shuang forced a smile on his lips, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Your Excellency, lift me up." The guard waved, and with two whips, the four carriages listening at the door were pulled away by them.

Liu Shuang stood in front of the door of the inn, his chest rising and falling slightly.Jiang Fan is such a bad official, who can’t be offended and why should he be offended?I really can't bear it.I think what Liu Shuang does all day long is to make tens of thousands of taels. If it weren't for the current situation, he is a guest of Xiao Town, and now he is being bullied into this by a dog?
He walked upstairs angrily, and the officials accompanying him in the tea room became more disgusting than the last. As soon as Liu Shuang sat down at the tea table, he picked up half a cup of herbal tea and before he drank it, his subordinates put down a thick stack of reporting letters. It's at his fingertips.

He frowned and stepped back a little, only to see clearly that the contents of the letter were all about reporting Jiang Fan.

An older, mature-looking adult next to him said, "On the first day, reports from various counties in the south of the Yangtze River have come in. I heard that Jiang Fan had formulated a series of abnormal reports during the public notice period a few days ago. Strict rules, neither this nor that, our account managers must be careful in the future, I heard that if you are short of 500 taels, you will go to jail, if it is more than 800 taels, you may not even be able to save your life."

The civil servant standing in front of the window on the other side was younger, with a refreshing appearance. He did not sigh, but looked incomprehensible, "Mr. Liu, I know everything about the work of the Ministry of Finance. How can there be water that does not wet the paper, and water that does not wet the paper?" Grain that has leaked out of the bottom? In the past, we had to manage things layer by layer, but the days have passed and we are surrounded by enemies. Everyone is staring at this piece of meat. You share some and I take some, but there is always someone who can barely do the work. "

"But if you do this now, you won't be able to get even a penny out of it. This new Marquis Wu is really a high-ranking official who doesn't care about the fireworks of the world. He doesn't know how hard it is for me to wait."

"That's right……"

"Who says it's not the case..." Everyone complained.

Liu Shuang sternly said, "That's all, why are you talking so much? You, the court officials, just do whatever the superiors tell you to do. Just complain behind your back and the matter will be solved?"

Everyone sighed and closed their mouths.

Liu Shuang waved his hands impatiently and frowned, "Let's all go back and rest. We will return to Jiangnan early tomorrow morning. When we get there, there will be a group of accounting departments from Mingtai County. Each department will take away fifteen, leaving the rest I will stay in the Imperial Council. Don’t mention today’s matters when you get back. Shut your mouth and live longer.”

Everyone stood up and bowed to Liu Shuang, then went back.

After everyone left, Liu Shuang squinted his eyes and winked at the guard standing behind him. The man was slender and extremely agile. He reached Liu Shuang in two steps and bent down.

"Have the batch of disaster relief money hidden before been melted?" Liu Shuang asked.

The guard thought for a moment and whispered in a voice that was almost a whisper, "It should still be in the bank, but there is not much left, only about 1 taels."

"That's enough. You don't have to go back with me. During this period, find an opportunity to use this money..." Liu Shuang ordered in a few words.

The guard nodded wisely after hearing this, turned around and hurried downstairs immediately.

Liu Shuang grasped the delicate teacup in his rough hands, his face tightened slightly, his eyes were sharp, Jiang Fan made it clear that he wanted to suppress him on the pretext of corruption, so that's fine, he would have a hard time, and no one would have a hard time.Whoever sets the rules will be the first to try.

After Liu Shuang left, Ye Niansi, who had been behind the screen in Qin Yu's study, carefully thought about Liu Shuang's words.

At this moment, he is sitting in front of the chess table, his moon-green robe hanging lazily around his crossed legs. He puts one elbow on his knee, his fingers lightly touching his temple, and the cuffs embroidered with gold and silver threads are slightly tilted towards the side. It slid down a little, revealing a section of arm with white bones.

His dark eyes were lowered, and he was quietly looking at the chess game in front of him. His face was calm, but in fact, he had already taken more than ten steps with his calculations in his heart.

Qin Yu came from outside the door, holding a cup of unique tea in his hand. The tea was served in a bowl. He slowly placed it in Ye Niansi's hand, "This is the oil tea that was sent to me a few days ago. I heard that Lan Ji The Queen likes it very much, because it is a tribute from the Western Regions and has been precious in the past. Nowadays, Dayu and the Western Regions are in the same situation, and I think the Night King has not tasted it for a long time. I cooked it myself, so you can drink it without worry. "

Ye Niansi's black eyes slid towards the cup of tea coldly.There is brown milky white tea juice floating in the tea bowl, and thick melon seeds, pistachios and walnut kernels are floating on the surface. In the past winter, this was a tea that Lanji often cooked for Ye Niansi, but today In the blink of an eye, the peace at that time has become history. Now the Western Warring States, which is at war with each other, has long refused to pay tribute as a minister. If you want to drink this thing, you can only ask someone to buy one or two pairs with a lot of money during the off-season. In fact, It is very precious.

Ye Niansi's black eyes slid to one side and said lightly, "Thank you, Lord Marquis. I am grateful that I can listen to what Liu Shuang said today, and the confusion back then has been somewhat resolved. There is just one thing that needs to be explained. , I don’t need the Marquis to get involved in the old cases of the Lan family for me."

Tan Yu frowned slightly and stared at Ye Niansi with his turbid eyes.The young man in front of him looked cold and weak, but the calculations seeping out of his eyes were really bottomless. He was the one who reminded Qin Yu just now to prepare a customs clearance document for Liu Shuang.

Liu Shuang is not a grand person, he is very petty. If others respect him, that's okay, but if they don't, he will definitely not be reconciled.If Qin Yu could treat him like a spring breeze, as one of Xiao Zhen's confidants, Liu Shuang's dirty tricks were so hidden and disgusting that Jiang Fan wouldn't be able to guard against them.But he didn't understand what Ye Niansi said at the moment. Ye Niansi stretched out his long fingers, picked up a piece in the black chess cup, and placed the piece on the board leisurely.At the end of the chess game, Black wins.

"Don't the Night King want to know the truth about that year? Let everyone related to it receive the punishment they deserve." Qin Yu asked puzzledly, "Xiao Xian seems to be very concerned about this matter. If given time, maybe he can With some investigation, rehabilitation is not impossible.”

Ye Niansi slowly raised his black eyes and stared directly at Tan Yu, his voice was cold, and a trace of disdain flashed at the corner of his lips, "Is the Marquis really interested in the truth?"

Tan Yu met his eyes and was stunned for a moment.If it is said that it is impossible to investigate the right and wrong, it is not to that extent.As long as Ye Niansi can claim the throne as Cang Jingxu said, it is just a plan now. No matter how willing he is and how good he is to Wuhou Mansion, Tan Yu will naturally follow his words.

He took a deep breath and said, "The Lan family case is a pain in the hearts of many people. The reasons are intricate and extremely complicated. If it can be investigated, it will naturally be a good thing. We must seek fairness in everything."

"Fair?" Ye Niansi raised his eyebrows slightly, sat up straight, and said coldly, "If it's for fairness, no one in this world deserves to die."

He paused, his dark eyes slid slightly to one side, tilted his head, and looked as fierce as a Shura. Facing Tan Yu's slightly surprised gaze, he slowly said, "The Lan family has been guarding the imperial power for many years, and even the current king The Prime Minister, down to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, has dedicated his life to serving our Emperor until his death."

"But now the Marquis also knows that the ambition of the Lan family has been destroyed by those who are obsessed with profit, and the lives of the Lan family have been destroyed by the selfish and arbitrary emperor. If the Emperor of the Night was not decisive and kind enough in his actions, no one would be left behind. After the strong bloodline of the Lan family, it took ten years for the iron pestle to become a needle, and the peace and stability of the Yu Dynasty today will never be the same. Therefore, everyone in the world and all living things will benefit from the death of the Lan family. .”

Ye Niansi's black eyes turned slightly red, but his expression was still as cold as ice, "When they died, not a single inch of the mountains and rivers they once protected cried for them, and not a single person in Yu Yu they protected petitioned for them. Human beings Greed and cowardice are always so ridiculous. When you are alive, you use your life to pave your own way. After you die, if it is a useful thing to trample your body, it will be like crucian carp crossing the river, flocking to it."

He looked at Qin Yu coldly, showing a trace of powerlessness, but was instantly wiped out by the evil force, his eyes full of hatred, "This world has always been unfair. Now that the evidence has been destroyed, the Lan family's grievances , there will never be a chance to redress. There are many ways to punish people who have done wrong. Making them plead guilty, admit their mistakes, and use their lives to offset their crimes is really the most boring way. Method."

He raised his chin slightly, and his broad shoulders burst out with an arrogant momentum, "What you love disappears, what you hate is like a cloud, what you protect is like scales and feathers, what you hope for runs in the opposite direction. Only when you die will you live, only when you live will you die, that's how it works." The best way to make them repay. As long as I know they are guilty, that's enough. I have the final say on how to retaliate. It doesn't matter what the truth is."

After finishing speaking, Ye Niansi stepped off the couch expressionlessly, straightened his clothes and left.Tan Yu sat at the chess table, frowning slightly, thinking for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

He deeply felt that this Ye Niansi was really an extraordinary person.

His viciousness is comparable to Xiao Zhen, even worse.

As for his heart as a mote of dust, erudite and good at making progress, he also has the demeanor of a mediocre emperor like the Night Emperor.

Qin Yu had bet on the Night Emperor in the past, and this time he won the bet, allowing Qin Yu's Wuhou Mansion to stand unimpeded for more than thirty years.This time, he felt like he was winning. He only hoped that Ye Niansi, who Cangjingxu said was the lucky man of the Hou Mansion, would not let him down.

At dusk, the red moon hangs in the sky, and the beauty is dancing in the dusk.The closer it gets to night, the more intoxicating the atmosphere becomes.

Ye Niansi was sitting at the flower table. He raised his eyes when he heard the movement outside the door. A graceful woman wearing dancer's clothes walked in leisurely. After closing the door, she smiled lightly and looked at her with a pair of fox eyes. He said, "My lord, I have been waiting for a long time. I was just entangled by one or two people downstairs. I hope your lord will not blame me."

Ye Niansi was as cold as an iceberg, his black eyes looking straight ahead, "How's the matter I asked you to check?"

Lan Zhiruo looked at her pillow with big eyes, Yingying walked over, took out a small painting and calligraphy from near the bed board, spread it out next to Ye Niansi.

The painting shows two women, one in green and the other in red.

The woman in red clothes had a red mole between her eyebrows, which Ye Niansi recognized.But there was another person he had never seen before, but he felt inexplicably familiar.

Lan Zhiruo raised her long nails and pointed at the yellowed painting. She looked at Ye Niansi's handsome profile and said softly, "I found this painting from an informant. The woman in red is Qiuxiang, and the one in green is her master. These two were ordered to hide beside Xiao Zhen back then. Qiuxiang was codenamed Zhusha, and her master was codenamed Danqing."

"Qiuxiang's whereabouts are uncertain now. It would be difficult to control her to get hold of those in the palace. But I found out that the codename is Danqing, and he is still working for Xiao Zhen, and he is still working for Xiao Zhen. The wife of a certain official family. But I don’t know who she is specifically."

Ye Niansi lowered his black eyes and looked at the painting carefully. Just as he was about to say something, there was a loud noise outside the door, and Gang Qiangzhi's angry shout drifted into Ye Niansi's ears, "You can't Detain my uncle! He is a man with a family, how can he allow you to be so presumptuous! Let him out!"

Ye Niansi's black eyes were stunned for a moment, then he stood up and put away the painting. Just as he was about to go out, Lan Zhiruo's slender fingers gently hooked his sleeve, looked at the man's face, and smiled charmingly. Her voice was as beautiful as that of a goblin, "If my lord keeps hiding this secret from that person in the house, will it be possible for him to be so frightened every time he sees me in the future?"

She leaned a little closer to Ye Niansi, "Or is it that the Lord cares about that little girl very much and is afraid that she will feel uncomfortable, so he is so clean and self-contained?"

Because of Gang Qianzhi's commotion in the Piaohong Building, many people stopped. The man who spent a lot of money outside the door just to see Lan Zhiruo had already occupied the first, second and third floors of the Piaohong Building. One block, half of the street was full of chaos.

Qin Yuwang and Liu Ye had just returned from the medicine shop. Liu Ye had herbal medicine bags hanging on her neck, hands, shoulders, and waist. When the two of them passed by Piaohong Building, they saw such a scene, but they also felt curious in their hearts. He couldn't help but slow down a lot.

If you walk slowly, you will inevitably hear something you shouldn't hear.

"Hey, have you all seen it? That little lady Lan Zhiruo is so beautiful!"

"It costs 800 taels to meet me once. It's life-threatening. I won't be able to live like this in my life!"

Qin Yuwang frowned slightly, stopped, turned his ears, and raised his head to look at the charming and delicate Piaohonglou.The hall is filled with red water chestnuts, rouge and gouache, and the charming fragrance emerges one after another.

Lan Zhiruo.

This name made her heart tremble.

If she remembered correctly, this woman was the heroine in the original book.It was Ye Niansi in her previous life, the only woman I loved in this world.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Liu Ye on the side was slightly stunned at this moment, Lan Zhiruo?Isn't that her senior sister?She secretly looked towards the blocked corridor and vaguely saw what Gang Qiangzhi was doing there.Suddenly I was shocked, but Ye Niansi was inside?
With quick eyes and quick hands, Liu Ye hurriedly blocked Qin Yuwang's side near Piaohong Building, led her on the way back to her house, and interrupted, "Second Miss, you were saying your legs were sore just now. Let's hold on and go back to Liu Ye." Make a big table of delicious food for the second lady, steam lamb and bear paws, steam flower duck and roast goose, I will give you a portion of everything..."

Qin Yuwang did take a few steps while being gently pulled by Liu Ye, but the doubts in her heart, the unwillingness and unbearable feeling were really hard to get rid of. She stopped resolutely, and took three or two steps forward before Liu Ye could react. Then go to the red building.

When Gang Qianzhi opened the door, Qin Yuwang happened to reach the stairs and had a clear view of the scene in the house. (End of chapter)
