Everyone knows that Jiangnan is rich, the land of fish and rice, the main trade route, and even the local officials of all sizes are raising oily water, especially Liao Guangtian, the governor of Nanyang.

The position of Governor of Nanyang is really a rich errand, this errand is too sought-after, naturally there are many people staring at the red eyes, and Liao Guangtian and his people can sit in this position is also not to be underestimated. Especially after so many years of operation, Liao Guangtian is already a well-deserved head snake in Nanyang.

King Jian obviously does not have the ability to cover the sky with one hand in Nanyang, let alone the wrist to make money under Liao Guangtian's nose without being discovered. Therefore, it can be determined that even if Liao Guangtian is not an accomplice, he must have been bought by King Jian.

Judging from Ji Lingyun's understanding of this famous governor of Nanyang, the former is more likely to be.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered: "Back then, Liao Guangtian's excerpt was not handed to his father, but was noticed by King Jian, and he thought it was also Liao Guangtian's handiwork. It's hard to say whether Liao Guangtian's death and the people behind the scenes who have been chasing and killing Zhang Xianli all these years are the kings or Liao Guangtian. ”

Ji Chengyu bowed his head and said: "I originally thought the same way, but neither Zhang Xianli nor Mrs. Liao mentioned Liao Guangtian in their words. If Liao Guangtian is really an accomplice, even if Mrs. Liao doesn't know the details, Zhang Xianli should be clear and shouldn't say a word. ”

Ji Lingyun was also puzzled, so he had to say: "It seems that we should think of meeting this Zhang Xianli, I always feel that he should know more than he said." ”

Ji Chengyu nodded and said, "After tomorrow's arraignment of my father, maybe when I see my father, he will let go of his worries and know everything." ”

After Ji Yuren returned to Dali Temple, he conveyed the emperor's edict, and the royal driver came in person, and Dali Temple was naturally in chaos, and the news spread quickly. Ji Chengyu and Ji Lingyun can receive the news, and Ji Sihong and Lan Guifei can naturally also receive the news.

In the end, the Bai family was involved, and Bai Zonglin and Bai Boren naturally paid great attention to this matter. Absentmindedly having dinner, both father and son didn't know the taste of food, Bai Yanran was keenly aware of it, thought about it a little in her heart, and also thought of the grand event in Beijing today.

In recent years, King Jianwang has become more and more public, and his thoughts are already known to passers-by. It's just that now that the emperor is in good health, the crown prince has a solid foundation, and King Jian has no other support except for the favor of his mother and son, so naturally no one will stand on the wrong side without brains.

Now that King Jian has exposed such a rebellious act, everyone has speculated that King Jian and Concubine Lan's mother and son may be cold. Bai Yanran knew in her heart that King Jian would not fall so quickly, unless the emperor was seriously ill, as long as King Jian did not rebel against him, he would not be killed.

Ji Lingyun once said that the position of the crown prince is difficult to be modest, neither mediocre nor convincing, let alone prestige over the emperor. But with King Jian and Lan Guifei's mother and son, the position of the crown prince is destined to be unstable.

But the emperor's heart is actually like a mirror, and King Jian is just a chess piece he uses to balance the prince, and it is also a knife used to break through the powerful people of the dynasty. And there is only one end to the knife, and it is discarded when it is useless.

Therefore, after the emperor's health declined in the previous life, he began to close the net, and through the hands of King Jian, he got rid of the Qi family and half of the people in the court who had dealings with King Jian, and purged the court.

The following year, the new emperor ascended the throne and opened a scientific examination to recruit talents, which weakened the wings of Old Master Lan and Yu Taifu. The foundation of the left minister is unstable, so there is no need to worry about it, so the factions above the court are disrupted and scattered, which is what the high-ranking Ninety-Five Emperor wants to see.

And in this bloody storm, the Bai family is just a floating boat, and the strength is weak, and only by being cautious can he retreat.

After the meal, the father and son entered the study with their front and back feet, and Bai Yanran's heart couldn't help but become solemn.

Shu Yue's early arrival was really surprising, in her previous life, Mrs. Liao's revenge was revenge, and she committed suicide after entrusting Shu Yue to Ji Lingyun.

Shu Yue in her previous life did not leave Hongshui Garden, Ji Lingyun sent someone to inquire about her, but learned that the boss of Hongshui Garden forced Shu Yue to pick up customers. Ji Lingyun quietly rescued the person in desperation, and Shu Yue entered King An's Mansion with his body.

In this life, Shu Yue has arrived in the capital, and the events of the day before yesterday can be seen that she is targeting herself.

Regarding Shu Yue's motive for insisting on entering the palace, Bai Yanran had doubts in her previous life. Because she had inadvertently revealed that Ji Lingyun had gone to Shao'an Hongshui Garden to listen to her song, and Shu Yue has never forgotten it ever since.

Now I don't know why she went directly to Beijing with Mrs. Tan, but it can be seen that she has indeed moved her mind to enter the Anwang Mansion, so she will specifically target herself. Such a thoughtful woman, it is best to avoid it, Bai Yanran thought about how to prevent Shu Yue from entering the palace.

Mrs. Tan has the will to die, how can she prevent it, and Shu Yue is cunning and cunning, it is hard to guarantee that she will not think of any other way to rely on Ji Lingyun. It's better to have a one-and-done solution, otherwise it's really troublesome.

A flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered someone.

In Liuxiangju that day, she lied that she recognized Shu Yue's identity by a portrait she had seen, although this statement was a lie, but the painter of this portrait was indeed someone.

This person's name is Zuo Cheng'an, and he is not a lonely and unknown person, but the most valued concubine of Prime Minister Zuo, and the brother of Zuo Jinyun's mother.

Because Prime Minister Zuo's wife only gave birth to one daughter, the eldest son of the concubine, Zuo Chengan, was naturally pinned on high hopes since he was a child, and he was no different from his grandson. Unexpectedly, Zuo Chengan has developed a scholarly temperament, and he doesn't love power and pen and ink, especially Danqing.

A year ago, Zuo Cheng'an once traveled to the mountains and rivers to splash ink, and passed through Shao'an to hear the natural sound of Shu Yue's girl, so he went to Hongshui Garden to listen to the piano, and since then he has never forgotten Shu Yue.

Shu Yue was naturally not willing to stay in Hongshuiyuan to perform arts, but she was guilty of sin, and no matter how much money she had, she couldn't redeem herself. I just hope to meet a powerful "confidant" and want to find a free body for myself, so I fell in love with Zuo Chengan.

I just don't want Zuo Cheng'an, although he is really powerful behind him, he is an elm head. No matter how Shu Yue explicitly hinted, she couldn't bend the law for personal gain, and finally left depressed.

After Zuo Chengan returned to Beijing, he became lovesick, so he began to put his lovesickness in pen and ink, but he didn't want to be stolen and sold by his family.

Therefore, there are several portraits of Shu Yue in Beijing, and Bai Yanran did see them in her previous life, but she didn't know the deep meaning at the time, and later she didn't understand it when she became a cat and saw Shu Yue.

Now that Shu Yue is free, and Zuo Chengan has a deep affection for her, he can help from it.

Zuo Chengan prides himself on being a literati, although he has not won any fame, Danqing is a must in Beijing. And he is the only son of Zuo Xiang, so others are naturally more welcome, so he has the elegant name of Danqing Holy Hand.

Zuo Cheng'an has the arrogance of a literati, and there is no shortage of yellow and white things, so his paintings are either added to friends or collected by himself, and they are not passed on, but they are priceless. Only then did some people in the house take risks and steal paintings, causing a few pairs of Shu Yue's danqing to be left behind.

The East Street of Beijing is prosperous, and most of the guests are dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing. South Street is much more lively, with a mix of peddlers and pawns, and a dazzling array of shops, including Zuixianzhai is one of the antique calligraphy and painting shops.

In her previous life, Bai Yanran inadvertently saw Shu Yue's Danqing in Drunken Immortal Zhai, and now she has set foot in Drunken Immortal Zhai again, and everything is no different from her previous life, and even the shopkeeper's rhetoric is the same as in her previous life.

"Miss is really discerning, our store is complete with all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, whether the lady wants to play with herself or take it to give away."

In her previous life, Bai Yanran carefully selected it in order to give her brother a birthday gift, and this time she didn't have to be so verbose, she pretended to look at it casually, and gradually approached the calligraphy and painting shelf in the corner, and picked out the bottom picture scroll casually.

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he stepped forward and said with a smile: "If Miss wants to find calligraphy and painting, I will take you to the inner room to have a look, this outer room is just some ordinary paintings, and the real good things are not willing to be put here." ”

Bai Yanran unfolded the painting, and inside was Shu Yue's Danqing portrait. Because this Danqing Zuo Cheng'an only wanted to keep it as a memory, and was not ready to give it away, there was only the word "Shu Yue" in the payment, and there was no signature of Zuo Chengan. It is precisely because of this that this painting of Danqing Holy Hand did not sell for a good price, but was smashed in the hands of the shopkeeper. It's just that the shopkeeper knows that the origin of this painting is unknown, and he doesn't dare to make a move at will, for fear of causing trouble for himself.

Bai Yanran turned a deaf ear to the shopkeeper's words, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's big breath, Danqing Sheng's pen is a thousand gold, if these are ordinary paintings, I don't know what other famous works are there here in the shopkeeper?" ”

The cold sweat of the shopkeeper of Drunken Xianzhai came down all of a sudden, and he said with a smile: "Miss, this is a torture of old age, everyone knows that the paintings of the Danqing Holy Hand are never passed on, how can the Drunken Xianzhai have the paintings of the Danqing Holy Hand." ”

Bai Yanran put away the scroll carefully, looked at the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Yes, how can Zuo Gongzi's private work be consigned in Zuixianzhai, it is really incomprehensible, isn't it that you are familiar with Zuo Gongzi from the shopkeeper, so he has to add paintings?" ”

The shopkeeper was sweating like rain, trembling and not knowing what to say. Su Xin on the side shouted: "I heard that a few days ago, someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion had the audacity to steal Zuo Gongzi's paintings and sell them cheaply, and those who didn't want to be in charge were also bold enough to dare to accept such a painting of unknown origin." According to the law of this dynasty, the protector is punished as complicity, and the shopkeeper is not afraid of being punished? ”

The shopkeeper knew that this was a hard stubble, so he knelt on the ground with a "poof", and begged again and again: "Please also ask Miss to have a lot, spare the small one this time, and the small one will not dare again." Drunken Xianzhai's things can be picked by Miss, or you can take this Danqing away, just ask Miss Dafa to be merciful and spare the little old man this time. ”

Bai Yanran put down the painting in her hand again, and said lightly: "I am not a stubborn person, since the shopkeeper has already known his mistake, he doesn't have to buy me, just return this painting to its original owner." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "What does Miss mean to let the little general paint back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Bai Yanran finally showed a light smile on her lips, and said, "I want you to return the painting to Zuo Gongzi in person, and tell him that you saw the woman in the painting in Beijing." ”
