After Su Cen was dismissed from his post and Wei Zhao disappeared, the officials of the five ministries all underwent a major reshuffle.

Qi Luoxia was living in a small courtyard at that time, and she didn't know about it.

Until Ouyang Yuqian sent a letter.

Ouyang Yuqian's father-in-law and husband both became purged in this reshuffle, her father-in-law was removed, her husband resigned voluntarily, and the family decided to leave the capital and go back to their hometown.

Before leaving, Ouyang Yuqian came to see Qi Luoxia once, wanting to persuade her to give up her father and go with her.

Qi Luoxia refused, although Ouyang Yuqian's husband's family was in trouble, it made her see hope.

Ouyang Yuqian couldn't, so she left a little silver tael for her, and left the capital with her husband's family.

Not long after, Mrs. Lan sent someone from Jiangnan and sent her a lot of money.

At that time, Qi Luoxia faintly thought that maybe her father was really a corrupt official......

But so what, Qi Tianao has always been the father who loves her the most!

She does the little low, and then goes everywhere to beg people.

This time, people took her money and were willing to help her.

After a lot of money was sprinkled out, the wife of a criminal department official who had just taken office kindly reminded her that the key to Qi Tianao's case was evidence, and there was not much evidence now, if there were Jiangnan officials who spoke for Qi Tianao from the bottom up, then they would do things better.

She immediately sent a letter to Mrs. Jiang Nanlan.

At the same time, he bought off the guards and went into the prison to visit Qi Tianao.

Under her movement, Qi Tianao had already changed a number of cells at that time, but the person was already haggard.

There is no trace of the majestic demeanor of a handsome son.

Even people are a little confused.

Qi Luoxia talked to him for a long time, only to find that his tongue had been ripped out.

At that time, her heart was so much that she hated Qin Mohan and Gu Xinyue to death.

After smashing people with money again, some people also revealed to her that they didn't dare to do anything at that time, and even could only fight Qi Tianao every day, all of which were forced by Qin Mohan's people.

And the emperor was angry because his niece was almost killed by Qi Tianao.

Since then, Qi Luoxia has been more generous in spending.

And into June, a lot of things are easier.

From the beginning of the change of the household department, the officials of the DPRK and the central government have taken money to buy them.

At that time, those cabinet elders were all in high positions, and officials below the fifth rank didn't care at all, as long as they were sure that they were their own people.

As long as you send money to Prince Xia, the son of the Ouyang family, the subordinates of the second prince of the eldest prince, or some strategists, you can get an official position.

Later, as long as you give money to people in a certain position, you will get an official position even if you don't have an official position.

Anyway, the court is rich, and no matter how many officials there are, the salary can be afforded.

In this case, officials who do not send money have no future.

Naturally, they will look for money everywhere.

Like Qi Luoxia, she is naturally a person who is competing for it.

Qi Luoxia spent money like flowing water, and the 1.5 million taels of silver tickets sent by Mrs. Lan were almost spent by June.

Qi Luoxia was thinking about asking Mrs. Lan to send money again.

I got the news from Mrs. Lan.

Mrs. Lan said that she had bought a piece of ambergris for 25,000 taels of gold, and had given it to the local official in Jiangnan for the official to send it up.

At the same time, he also bought off the official and interceded for Qi Tianao.

Mrs. Lan also said that the piece of ambergris was very large, and those officials would definitely exploit some of it themselves when they sent it up layer by layer, and as long as they passed it, they left evidence, and in the future, they could be blackmailed.

For insurance, she also cut off a piece and will personally bring that piece to the capital.

Not long after the news arrived, she heard rumors that Qi Tianao's case had taken a turn for the better.

At that time, the emperor had already brought most of the officials to escape the summer, and Ouyang Shangshu was watching in the capital.

Ouyang Shangshu's eldest son has been released from Beijing on his own initiative, but several concubines are still in the capital.

I heard that the aunts of those concubines are very favored, so they are also very dignified in front of Ouyang Shangshu.

The one who came to spread the word was Ouyang Shangshu's brother-in-law.

She gave away the last bit of money she had.

When Mrs. Lan arrived, the people from Xia Ge Lao and Wei Ge Lao all came with news, saying that they had already said good things for Qi Tianao.

Let them send some more money.

Qi Luoxia asked Mrs. Lan to take the money, but Mrs. Lan blocked her.

It is only said that it is okay to send money, but you can only give it if you meet someone.

A few days later, someone came to find Mrs. Lan again, but this time, it was someone from the emperor's side.

The man said that he had heard that Mrs. Lan had paid tribute to a piece of ambergris, but it did not reach the emperor, what was going on?

Mrs. Lan immediately took out the piece she kept, only saying that she was afraid that someone would be greedy, so she kept some for herself.

After the man took the ambergris and left, the rest of the family also came over and said, Mrs. Lan, how do you talk?

Okay, for the sake of money, I don't blame you, a fixed price, one million taels.

Mrs. Lan agreed.

The next day, Qi Tianao was acquitted, and at the door of the cell, Mrs. Lan handed over the money with one hand and helped Qi Tianao back with the other.

Back in the small courtyard, the family of three first hugged each other and cried.

Qi Tianao wrote and asked Mrs. Qi how she was.

Mrs. Lan was hesitant, and in the end there was no way but to say that Old Madam Qi was dead.

On the day they got married, Mrs. Qi was scared half to death by Qin Mohan, and later Qi Tianao began to transfer the property to arrange the whereabouts of the female dependents, and she was scared enough.

After Qi Tianao was arrested, he was bedridden.

And in order to hide that the Qi family still has money, Mrs. Lan can only take the old lady to move to a remote courtyard.

The old lady can no longer instruct people, can no longer be magnificent, and does not dare to go out, let alone meet guests.

It's so melancholy, melancholy dies.

Qi Tianao cried.

After crying, I wrote again and asked, how much money is left?

As long as he has money, he can make a comeback.

Mrs. Kelan and Qi Luoxia had already used up the money, and all they had left was a few boxes of jewelry, as well as a little property left in Jiangnan.

(The big property was given to Chu Zheng by Qi Tianao to get rid of the crime)

If those jewels are sold, they are worth more than 100,000 taels (of course, they can't be compared to the price they bought), and if a family of three lives, they are also a rich and noble family.

But where would Qi Tianao be willing.

He thought that he was innocent, and his fame was still there, but his dismissal was pending.

As long as it is done properly, there is no tongue and no speech, and there is also an official position.

What's more, since the fifth prince already has some power, he should be compensated for it!

You know, his tongue was pulled out by the people of the Five Princes.

For the sake of not confessing the rest of the matter.

Of course, he didn't dare to confess.

As long as he says a word, let alone his life, the life of his family will not be saved.

Qi Tianao dragged his sick body, took the money from selling jewelry, and went out to find someone in person.

Then, someone gave him a response.

I heard that your family paid a tribute to a piece of ambergris, and since you have no money, then exchange it for ambergris.

Ambergris......

Where do they still have ambergris on their hands?

Moreover, Qi Tianao just went out for such a trip, and after returning home, he became ill, with a high fever, itching all over his body, and he couldn't go out at all.

But even so, he still wants to restore his official position.

Qi Luoxia couldn't, so she went out, one by one, to ask for ambergris.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Qi Luoxia sighed deeply.

Cut into a carriage and walk towards his house.
