Chapter 4: A package is full of gold ingots
As soon as Qin Zhao came out of the palace, he didn't have time to change out of his official uniform, so he hurriedly ran to the Rusi wine shop to find Xue Yan.
Since Xue Yan took over the investigation of the thieves that day, there has been no news except for a wanted notice issued by Dali Temple. Today, the emperor summoned him to the palace for this matter, thinking of the emperor's face just now, Qin Zhao shivered unconsciously.
"Lord Qin, you're here!" Xiao Er of the wine shop was no longer surprised to see Qin Zhao coming in official uniforms, "The Seventh Prince is on the second floor. β
Qin Zhao threw his sleeves hard and went straight to the second floor. Standing at the staircase, he eased his expression again, and then walked to Xue Yan by the window, and said respectfully: "The minister sees the Seventh Prince." β
Xue Yan held the wine jug in his hand, his eyes were slightly closed, listening to Qin Zhao's words, he lifted his eyelids slightly and looked at him and said, "What kind of wind is blowing Lord Qin here today?"
Qin Zhao knelt down fiercely and begged: "Seventh Prince, you are doing well, hurry up and thoroughly investigate the matter of the thieves!"
"Lord Qin said this as if this prince was lazy. Xue Yan took a sip of the wine jug to his mouth, twisted two peanuts and put them in his mouth, chewed them lightly, and said, "Since I took over this case, the thieves have not committed a crime. It can be seen that my method still worked. β
Qin Zhao wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, thinking that when he was in the imperial study today, he also said the same thing to the emperor, but the emperor only said "I can't catch the thief, and I still use such a ridiculous reason to prevaricate, do you really think I am a faint king?", he could only shut up.
However, the Seventh Prince said the same, what should he do?
Xue Yan stood up from the chair, brushed the hem of his clothes, helped Qin Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Lord Qin, if you are in such a hurry, it is better to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Ask Tao Gongzi what the thief's secret weapon looks like, so that I can have some clues, right?" patted Qin Zhao's shoulder and left the Rusi wine shop in a dashing manner.
"Seventh Prince, my family is not in the mansion today. When the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion heard that the servant had come to report that Xue Yan was coming, he hurriedly ran to the gate of the mansion, "Seventh prince, please come inside." β
Xue Yan said with a smile as he walked towards the Yan Mansion: "I don't come to the mansion today to look for Lord Yan, but the Seventh Imperial Concubine is there?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment by Xue Yan's question, and replied, "Miss is here." β
"I don't know that the Seven Princes are coming to the house today, and they are not welcome. Yan Nanchen walked over with a warm smile and said to the housekeeper, "Serve tea." β
"Today is also missing the evening, so I came, and it was the prince who was abrupt. Xue Yan smiled and said, "I don't know where Wan'er is now?"
Yan Nanchen listened to Xue Yan's address to Yan Nanwan, his face stiffened, and said, "Nanwan is in her courtyard, and I will take the Seventh Prince over." β
In the past few days, Yan Nanwan has been extremely unhappy, staying in the yard all day and sighing, Dusk Shu stood aside, glanced at the lifeless Yan Nanwan, very helpless.
At this moment, a person appeared on the wall and threw a bag of things to Twilight, Twilight turned around and caught it, and said angrily: "Feng Suo, can you change some means next time?"
Feng Suo scratched the back of his head with his hand, and jumped from the wall to the courtyard with a smile: "Twilight, I'm not afraid that you will be hurt?"
Dusk Shu "cut" and said, "My martial arts are not lower than you!" opened the burden and put it in front of Yan Nanwan, "Miss, this is the income of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhao Wang's Mansion." β
Yan Nanwan glanced at the package of gold, and responded lightly, still without any energy.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Feng Suo asked curiously, "Wasn't Miss happy to see gold and silver in the past?"
Twilight replied, "It's not because Dali Temple has been investigating thieves recently!"
"With the kung fu of our young lady, how can Dali Temple be caught!"
Twilight Shu glared at Feng Suo: "Now it's not just Dali Temple, but also the Seven Princes! Since ancient times, how can a fiancΓ© come to catch his fiancΓ©e?"
Feng Suo nodded: "It seems that this is really the case!"
"What do you mean?" Twilight stomped on the rope, "It's a certainty. β
"Hey, it hurts me. Feng Suo hugged the foot that was trampled by Twilight, and jumped to the side with the other foot, "Since you can't steal it in the capital, you can go to the neighboring city." β
"Smack!" Yan Nanwan stood up from the chair violently, slapped the table fiercely, and said excitedly: "Feng Suo, you are simply too smart!"
"Miss, by all means. Twilight Shu stopped, "Now that the Seventh Prince is in charge of investigating this case, you must not take any more action." β
"He investigates the theft case in the capital, does he have to take care of it when I go to the neighboring city?" Yan Nanwan has been feeling aggrieved in his heart since Xue Yan was in charge of this case.
Dusk Shu glared fiercely at Feng Suo on the side, and said, "Miss, you stole these things because you couldn't get used to seeing these court officials taking court money, but you didn't want to work for the benefit of the people. Stealing these things is only to exchange them for silver taels and to save those who are behind bars. But now that you've scraped together enough money to save those women, why won't you stop?"
Yan Nanwan circled around Dusk Shu a few times, sighed a few times, and said, "Dusk Book, I didn't find out before, your mouth is so powerful." β
"Miss, everything Twilight said was true. β
"Well, the neighboring cities won't steal!"
When Dusk Shu heard Yan Nanwan's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and heard Yan Nanwan say again: "How can there be so many big officials in the capital in the neighboring city, and there is nothing good to steal." β
Walking to the table and seeing the package of gold, Yan Nanwan picked one up, put it in his hand and played with it, and beckoned to Feng Suo, Feng Suo immediately limped over: "Miss, what do you command?"
"How much silver did King Zhao's inkstone cost?" Yan Nanwan thought that if she hadn't been in a hurry to use the money, she was afraid that Feng Suo would not have let Feng Suo take that inkstone, it was really a good thing.
Feng Suo scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Miss, I don't know about this either. Anyway, the Liuxia jade pendant, the night pearl of Qinhui and the inkstone of King Zhao are all here. β
Yan Nanwan glanced at Feng Suo, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's all done." Put away the gold, and Ming'er and I will go and redeem the women. β
Before Dusk Shu and Feng Suo could put away the gold on the table, Yan Nanchen took Xue Yan into the courtyard, and what he saw was the gold on the table.
Yan Nanchen looked shocked, and because Xue Yan was there, he could only say: "Nanwan, it's messing around again! He said to Xue Yan again, "Seventh prince, don't be surprised. Nanwan has been like this since she was a child, and she also asked the Seven Princes to forgive her sins. β
"It's okay!" Xue Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since Wan'er loves money so much, this prince still has to make more meritorious contributions in the future and get a reward." β
Yan Nanwan saluted Xue Yanwan, and followed Yan Nanchen's words: "The courtiers just think that the jewelry is enough, and the excess at home seems redundant, so she will have this idea." β
Xue Yan walked to the table and sat down, picked up a gold ingot, and put it in his hand to measure: "The princess of this prince is really extraordinary. β
"Seventh Prince Xie praised. β
Twilight and Fengsuo were also frightened, and stood there for a long time without coming back to their senses. Yan Nan had to say in the evening: "Don't go and serve tea to the Seventh Prince yet!"
Twilight relented and pulled Feng Suo out of the courtyard.
Yan Nanwan looked at the gold ingots on the table, and didn't know whether to accept it or not, so she had to look at Yan Nanchen for help.
Yan Nanchen saw Yan Nanwan's gaze, shook his head helplessly, and was about to speak.
"Wan'er still put away these gold ingots, and recently the official eunuch house in the capital has been repeatedly robbed. Xue Yanwu spoke.
Yan Nanwan listened to Xue Yan's address to her, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she still said gently: "Thank you for the advice of the Seventh Prince, Nanwan will put it away." β
She put it away, and then she heard the panicked and eager voice of the twilight book in the courtyard: "Young master, miss, Tao Gongzi is here." β
The words of the twilight book were about to fall, and Tao Xiaobei appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Yan Nanchen got up and greeted: "Master Tao, please forgive me for missing the distance." β
Tao Xiaobei responded indifferently, saw Xue Yan sitting in the courtyard, stepped in, and bowed lightly: "Seventh prince." β
"Xiao Bei, why are you here?" Xue Yan smiled, "Sit." β
Tao Xiaobei sat down and said: "I heard earlier that there is a hundred gardens in Yan Mansion, which are more than the flowers in the imperial garden in the palace, so I came to find a few today." β
Yan Nanchen smiled warmly and jadely: "The flowers in the house are all made by the little sister who has nothing to do to pass the time, which is really not as good as the imperial garden in the palace." β
Yan Nanwan listened to Tao Xiaobei's words in the house, and was slightly suspicious in his heart. I heard Tao Xiaobei in the courtyard again: "Why don't you see Miss Yan?"
She sorted out the emotions on her face, smiled gently, stepped on everyone's beautiful steps, and walked out of the house with a smile, "Nanwan has seen Tao Gongzi." β
Tao Xiaobei stared at Yan Nanwan's face for a moment before he looked away and said indifferently: "Miss Yan, I don't know if there are sunflowers in Yan Mansion?"
Xue Yan looked at Tao Xiaobei's movements one by one, smiled, and beckoned to Yan Nanwan: "Come to my side later, let me see what else you can't do with your hands." β
Yan Nanwan hung her head, pretended to be shy, walked to Xue Yan's side, and said softly: "These things are used to pass the time." He looked at Tao Xiaobei again, "There is one in the Xiangyanghua Mansion that Tao Gongzi is looking for, so I will let the twilight book dig it out and wrap it up for Tao Gongzi." β
Tao Xiaobei picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and said: "On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, I heard Miss Yan say that she also learned some fist and foot styles when she was free, I don't know how you learned it?"
"My daughter's family brought it to play, how can I take it on the table. Yan Nanchen took the conversation and smiled warmly, "How about the Seventh Prince and Tao Gongzi staying in the mansion for dinner today?"
