Chapter 317 The Predicament of the Books
After leaving Qingyun Academy, Qi Yan drove the carriage to the Shangshu Mansion.
Today's Shangshu Mansion is Lord Cangluo.
Cang Luo is the presiding judge who was thrown into prison when Qi Yan first came through.
Cang Luo was still the Minister of Justice at that time.
Since Qi Yan cleared of the charge, Cang Luo was highly trusted by Emperor Yan and promoted to the Minister of State, in charge of the Dali Temple and the Censorate.
Qi Yan's third invitation was prepared for Lord Cangluo.
Qi Yan knew very well that once his Chanwang Winery became famous overnight and caused a sensation in the entire Yanjing City, at that time, he would definitely deal with people in the officialdom. Then, Cang Luo, the Shangshu, who was not afraid of power, was the best trump card in his hands.
Although he is the Crown Princess, if he suffers any grievances, he can go to the palace to complain about his grievances. After shed a few tears, Emperor Yan will definitely be able to solve the problem for him.
But Emperor Yan was the emperor of Da Yan, and she had a lot of trouble every day, so she should not bother with her little things.
Besides, how can you use a slaughter knife to kill a chicken?
The gate of the Shangshu Mansion is deserted.
When Qi Yan arrived, there were even dead branches and leaves at the door, which was particularly deserted and lonely.
After Mo Huan parked the carriage, he helped Qi Yan get out of the car, and took the initiative to go forward and knock on the door.
Soon, an old woman opened the door and saw Qi Yan's clothes. She did not dare to abruptly and asked softly, "Who is your wife?"
"Is Lord Cangluo here?"
Qi Yan asked directly.
The old woman nodded, "Sir, please come in."
In this way, Qi Yan and Mo Huan entered the mansion.
It’s true that there is really something inside the Shangshu Mansion...
Hmm, what should I say?
Poverty?
When Cang Luo became this Shangshu, he was really honest and honest. He would judge the case as much as he was. Not to mention, there were many people he offended.
But because Emperor Yan trusted him, Cang Luo could only hold the position of Shangshu.
Cang Luo was very surprised when Qi Yan arrived. When he saw her, he immediately went up to him, "I have not been able to greet her. Please forgive me for your crime."
"Mr. Cangluo is so serious. I am here to come to you. How can I forgive you?"
Qi Yan helped Cang Luo up with one hand and then entered the living room.
In the living room, it was so cold that there was no trace of charcoal.
Cang Luo sat in the main seat, with a restrained expression and did not speak actively.
Qi Yan asked Mo Huan to take out the ginseng wine and put it on the table, "Mr. Cang Luo, I heard from my grandfather that Mrs. Cang was cold and now she can't afford to get sick. He was worried, so he sent me to give Mrs. Cang a bottle of wine to improve her health."
"Old Qi is intent."
Cang Luo heard the name of Mr. Qi, and his frown was slightly relieved.
Qi Yan continued, "Actually, I came here today, so I asked Lord Cangluo for help. The day after tomorrow, I was officially open at the Chanwang Winery in the east of the city. I was afraid that someone would come to make trouble. At that time, I would like to ask Lord Cangluo to send some people to the store, which can protect my winery and deter those who cause trouble."
Cang Luo frowned. This was a private transfer of troops, and he could not do such a thing.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Qi Yan took a step back, "Let's do this, if someone really makes trouble, I will send someone to report to the official. Will Lord Cang Luo accept it?"
"Certainly!"
Cang Luo's tone was very sure!
As long as someone reports to the official position, he, the Minister of Shang, will never sit idly!
Qi Yan's smile did not diminish, "That's fine. It's still late, so I won't bother Lord Cangluo. If Lord Cangluo has time the night after tomorrow, you might as well go and support him."
"The tea has not been served yet..."
Cang Luo was a little embarrassed. He was short of money and could not afford to support too many people in his mansion. In addition, his wife suffered from cold symptoms and the money went out like flowing water, and she did not spend any money. Only then did she not even provide hot water in such a cold day.
Qi Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Cangluo forgot, I don't drink tea. I will say goodbye first. Lord. Cangluo doesn't have to see you off, see you again."
After saying that, she got up and left.
After getting on the carriage, Qi Yan lowered the smile on her face and ordered Mo Huan, "Go and ask about Cang Luo's family and see what's going on? In the snowy weather, there was not even a piece of hot charcoal in the mansion of Lord Shangshu!"
"Yes, after I sent you back to the prince's mansion, I went to investigate."
Mo Huan nodded and took the order.
After Qi Yan returned to the Prince's Mansion, he asked Mo Xi to take some silver charcoal and a thick new quilt, and sent it directly to the Shangshu Mansion in the name of his grandfather.
She did not give Cang Luo silver directly. Cang Luo was straightforward and was a good official.
When the Wei family wanted to kill her, if Cang Luo was a little bit dark, he could stand on the side of Prime Minister Wei and sentence Qi Yan to death directly. Even if the crown prince Ye Chen was unwilling to accept it, he would be helpless. But Cang Luo chose to go to the palace himself and tell Emperor Yan the truth of the case, so that Qi Yan could get out of the prison.
Qi Yan admires Cang Luo's good official who insists on justice.
But a good official has fallen into the middle of winter without charcoal. This sadness makes Qi Yan angry.
Mo Xi went out to provide charcoal, but in just half an hour, Mo Huan was back.
Mo Huan told Qi Yan about Cang Luo's current situation because of Grand Master Min, Cang Luo is now being excluded. Chen Chuhe, the Minister of Justice, was staring at him, trying to take his place.
Chen Chuhe, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, was the minion of King Rui, and Master Min was also a petty man. Knowing that Cang Luo had a good relationship with Mr. Qi, he put it on Cang Luo's little shoes. After being excluded, he could not move forward in the officialdom.
Master Min did more than this, and he secretly deliberately squeezed out Mrs. Cang's cosmetic shop, causing her to suffer a mental blow and property loss. In addition, the heavy snow and cold weather during this period caused a cold attack on her body, which made her sleepless.
Qi Yan's appearance was when Cang Luo was most embarrassed.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Mo Xi came back. She said that she had been slandering and finally asked Lord Cangluo to take down the charcoal and quilt, but Lord Cangluo still gave her five taels of silver.
If she didn't accept the five taels of silver, the charcoal and quilts would not be able to enter the Shangshu Mansion.
Qi Yan sighed softly, it seems that she still has to use other methods to help the stubborn Cang Luo.
The Secretary of State’s monthly salary is not much. She once heard her grandfather’s words, and it seemed that she was only a little over a hundred taels?
Qi Yan sighed. Cang Luo's dilemma still needs to wait for her to solve the official business of Shenwang Winery the night after tomorrow, and then think about the countermeasures.
Qi Yan never expected that it would snow lightly on the night at Chanwang Winery.
However, more and more people came to Guanwang Winery.
Eunuch De and Youjiu came in early and took the lead. They ordered ten bottles of ginseng king wine with Duanmin. They held the documents. The two sat happily in their seats, chatting with each other for a few words, without saying a word.
The eldest princess Ye Min brought her Mama and her two children to support her.
Immediately afterwards, Han Jun, the Hou of Jingyuan, also attended the meeting with his son Han Xiaozhen...
