Sun Liangui exhaled a few deep breaths, since he had this disease, he had never felt as easy breathing as today.

He was weak and weak, but he suddenly seemed to be several years younger, radiant and energetic.

Sun Liangui hurriedly got up, waved at Xue Jianchang, and said with gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Bookkeeper, for saving my life. ”

Xue Jian hurriedly got up and helped him up, and said politely.

"It's just a gesture, Boss Sun doesn't have to be polite, I didn't expect this healing elixir to be so useful for Boss Sun's illness. ”

Sun Liangui looked at the medicine bottle, his eyes showing longing.

A pill in the stomach, just a moment to make yourself breathe smoothly, the spirit is greatly lifted, if you eat all these medicines, it will not be the medicine to get rid of the disease.

"Lord Bookkeeper, I don't know where I got this elixir, but I want to buy more to see if I can eradicate my disease. ”

Xue Jian smiled and explained.

"I can't buy this elixir, it's made from a prescription handed down from my ancestors, and there is only one bottle of it at present. ”

To be honest, seeing the miraculous effect of this medicine, even Lin Lao on the side was a little tempted, but he was not sick or sick, and it was not easy to ask Xue Jian for it.

Sun Liangui's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while before he said cheekily.

"Since it is the ancestral medicine of the master bookkeeper, the contemptible person should not ask for it, but my stubborn disease is really deep-rooted and solid, and it is not effective after taking a lot of medicine.

Do you want to sell me this bottle? I'm willing to pay ten times the price. ”

He had already figured out that no matter what he wanted today, he would have to get this bottle of medicine, and this was his hope of survival.

Sun Liangui thought that he would refuse, and thought that he would open his mouth, but he didn't expect him to ask for anything, and directly stuffed the medicine bottle into his hand.

"The elixir only has its value if it saves people, since he can save Boss Sun's life, then I will give it to you. ”

Sun Liangui's heart was moved, and he almost burst into tears, and his gratitude to Xue Jian was suddenly overwhelmed.

With another long stroke, Sun Liangui said sincerely.

"Lord Bookkeeper, I really don't know how to repay such kindness, and if you have any orders in the future, please feel free to say it, I will never say anything. ”

Xue Jian helped him up again and said.

"I don't have any orders, before I came, I had read Boss Sun's information and tax records in the household department, and there was nothing that exceeded the rules.

It's just that I have a word of advice, thousands of gold are rich and unkind, and they do a lot of evil, this time it will definitely be difficult to escape this catastrophe, Boss Sun is careful not to be dragged into the water. ”

Sun Liangui was silent for a long time, seemed to have made up his mind, and said.

"Lord Bookkeeper, please make it clear, what should I do?"

In the evening, Xue Jian left Sun's house.

Sun Liangui has completely become his person, but for his business, Xue Jian has no intention of interfering, everything is as usual.

The next day, Xue Jian searched for two more people on the list, one was named Zhou Liren, and the other was called Lao Batou.

This week, Liren is in charge of foreign trade in goods, and he does formal business in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce.

Talking to him, Xue Jian just took out the Honorary Elder Order of the Xiangma Chamber of Commerce, and immediately gained the trust and support of this person.

Businessmen are like this, they always choose the most advantageous side at the right time.

Now Liu Laosan's assassination of the imperial court officials in the City God Temple has spread almost all over the imperial city.

Everyone knows that thousands of gold may be about to fall, the tree is falling and scattered, how can a subordinate like Zhou Liren, who is doing regular business, work hard for thousands of gold.

However, Xue Jian was in the hands of another person, and he almost fell behind.

Lao Batou is not the name of that person, but a title of the rivers and lakes, this person is the chief handle of thousands of gold's subordinates, responsible for digging ore veins.

The rivers and lakes were born recklessly, and their strength was extremely strong, reaching the realm of the little grandmaster of the Mixed Yuan Realm.

It was rumored outside that this old man was not very convinced by Wan Qianjin, and was likely to rebel, so Xue Jian went to see him.

Who knew that this old guy deliberately spread the news of disagreement with Wan Qianjin, but in fact he was loyal to Wan Qianjin.

Xue Jian went to a Hongmen banquet, but fortunately, Lin Lao always followed him and took him to kill him, otherwise this little life would definitely be in the hands of Lao Batou.

After returning to the mansion, Xue Jian and Lin Lao went to meet the Five Princes and Chu Tianming, and told them about the situation in the past two days.

With the support of two people, although it is not much, Sun Liangui and Zhou Liren have a very large business in their hands, which is related to the interests of every official and nobleman.

As long as these businesses can be maintained, the interests of those people will not be lost.

Finally, the third day arrived, and the news had come out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and Liu Laosan confessed all of his confessions and confessed to what he had committed.

At the same time, because of his resentment towards Wan Qianjin, he also said that he assassinated the court officials, was instructed by Wan Qianjin, and said many appalling crimes.

In the early morning of the same day, on the way to the court, many of the civil and military officials looked heavy.

Dying for a thousand dollars is not a big deal, but the consequences of it are very serious.

The fifth prince was wearing a dark yellow python robe, and Xue Jian also changed into his official uniform for the first time, and entered the palace with him.

No matter how small the official position of the head of the household is, it is also a court official with official uniforms, and he is naturally qualified to go to the court, but he has to stand at the end.

Xue Jian's official uniform is a cloud-patterned robe with a blue background, embroidered with a lark on the chest, compared with the dark yellow python robe of the five princes, it is really one in the sky and the other on the ground.

However, he was quite satisfied with this dress, and felt that this was a bit of an official.

When hundreds of officials enter the palace, usually the big officials go first, and the small officials wait at the door, but Xue Jian follows the five princes and walks all the way to the front, and the style is not good.

Many officials, seeing this young man who had just made a name for himself in the imperial city, had mixed reviews.

Suddenly, Xue Jian's eyes lit up and saw an acquaintance, who was Wu Qiancheng.

He hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and pulled him to the side of the fifth prince.

Wu Qiancheng can be a third-grade waiter, not without a little eyesight.

He knew the battle between the five princes and the three princes, and if he was moving forward with the five princes at this moment, he would inevitably be misunderstood as forming a faction.

He whispered.

"It's not good. ”

The fifth prince suddenly turned to look at him and said.

"Wu Shilang, today the court will discuss the case of the City God Temple, you and Xue Jian are both victims, standing behind this prince, this prince will definitely seek justice for you. ”

Wu Qiancheng nodded yes and followed silently.

Hundreds of officials entered the court, the five princes stood at the front, and behind him stood Xue Jian and Wu Qiancheng.

This should have been the position of a first-class master, but now it was occupied by a master bookkeeper and a squire, which made the officials behind them look not very good-looking.

The hour is coming, but many people in the court are absent, the national teacher Li Mi did not come, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu asked for leave due to illness, and there were three foreign men in the Ministry of Rites, and one right attendant also asked for leave.

This is only a part, the queue that was originally enough to line up in the square of the main hall is now only at the door.

At this moment, two people walked in outside the door, and the first one was an old man with Huafa, although he was old, but the momentum was oppressive.

Behind him was a middle-aged general with a national character face and full of righteousness.

These two people are the great general Ishihara and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Ma Zhong.
