Therefore, Ning Xiuyuan took care of the matter, and Mr. Fu agreed because of the matter of poetry and books.

After Lu Xiaowan went back, while everyone was waiting for Xue Muyan to return, he quietly went to Jiangnan alone, and secretly collected a few silk Zhuangzi and some dim sum shops in Jiangnan.

"My daughter has been back for so many days, and I haven't seen the child from the Ning family coming, and Xiao Mu." Qin Cuihua is still a little anxious, although she said that her daughter wants money and money, and she wants a face, but it is not a way to drag on this marriage, not to mention that the child has never come to propose.

It's been a few days since she came back, and Lu Xiaowan hasn't heard the news about the capital, I don't know if it's blocked by someone with a heart, or if Xue Muyan doesn't want to send it back.

"Girl, I heard that there has been no news over there, are we going to go to the capital quietly!" Lan Yue had already felt that something was wrong, her girl had been back here for a few days, and there had been no letters from the capital, and no one had expressed it.

Ning Xin'er was about to knock on the door, but when she heard the voice in the room, she didn't know how to speak for a while, Xue Muyan still had some obstacles, it was none other than the emperor's hand.

The hesitant sound at the door made Lu Xiaowan a little strange, and after opening the door, she saw Ning Xin'er in front of the door.

"Xin'er, why are you here, don't let people say anything."

"Yes, sister, I came for something, you have to promise me that after I see it, don't do anything." When Ning Xin'er walked in the door, she felt that there were thousands of pounds of stones under her feet, and she reluctantly stepped in.

Xue Muyan's life is probably not good, Lu Xiaowan's hesitation and speculation in her heart have been confirmed, and when she opened the letter, it was written the problems that Xue Muyan had encountered.

In order to prevent Xue Muyan from returning to his position to do things everywhere, Lin Xiang secretly united some ministers, and refused to let him return to the royal family.

There is news everywhere that Xue Muyan is not a royal family, and rumors are spreading in the capital, the crown prince has been seized the throne, and so on.

"Let's not talk about these things, Xin'er, you have done a lot of business in my hands, but you have the idea to take over some."

Ning Xin'er used to envy Lu Xiaowan, but when she did it herself, she found that everything seemed to be quite simple, whether it was she secretly negotiating business with wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan or the north, or counting the daily income in the store alone.

"I want to go, everything I have experienced these days is something I never thought about before, but things in the capital still have to be dealt with, and I'm afraid that one day my grandfather will have an accident in the capital."

Lu Xiaowan was also afraid, she knew that if Xue Muyan did not have the identity of the royal family, the prince would not be at ease for a day, not to mention that he would have a chance to seize the throne in the end.

"What we have to do is to put a part of the family in our hands." secretly laid out, and couldn't let the prince find out.

Ning Xin'er took out the recent account book, and a lot of the silver in it had already been used, and when Lu Xiaowan took it, she carefully compared it.

"You didn't tell me about the expenditure of the silver."

"Sister, I did use some silver to make points, I don't know what happened some time ago, the county officials always said that the tax money in the store was wrong."

All the taxes are calculated by Lu Xiaowan herself, and Wu Qiang will also follow the review, how can it be wrong?

The suspicion in my heart did not move, "The current county official should be the prince and Lin Xiang's people, I will go to the store for a few days, you still don't come out, so as not to be targeted." ”

Sure enough, when Lu Sande came back, he said that some county officials asked for bribes, and Qingfeng Lou hadn't been a demon for a long time.

"Sister, I'm afraid they want to do it." Ning Xin'er grew up in the hands of Ning Hao from below, has an excellent education, and understands the affairs of officialdom, taxes and bribes, which are obviously aimed at Simeizhai.

It was not easy for her to come forward on the Qingfeng Building, but Lu Xiaowan was different, the incident happened because of him, so she had to go to the Qingfeng Building in person to meet the old bustard of the Qingfeng Building.

"Don't be afraid, everything has me, you remember that no matter what happens, you have to ignore them, those who come up to ask for money have made their positions clear, if they don't give money or food, the situation in the capital is very difficult, if someone in the town is caught, they will not be able to move an inch."

Ning Xin'er nodded, and took a token from her waist, which was the brand of Ning Mansion, with which she could change the county official at any time, and the reason why she still endured it was because she couldn't do it easily.

"Sister, take this sign, be careful when you go to the county office, I have contacted a lot of officials from all over the country, from now on, I will go wherever you go."

On the other side, Ning Hao had an even more headache at this time, because the ministers in the hall today were already in the team, and some people even directly said that Xue Muyan was for glory and wealth.

"Don't take what they say to heart, just come down like this, if you take care of them, they will attack you instead, today's words of Mr. Fu are already very powerful." How could Xue Muyan not know that Mr. Fu was arguing on the top of the hall today.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what happened today, if those ministers are attacking with this, I don't mind checking them all to the bottom of the world are foxes of thousands of years, what are you talking about?" Indeed, the wealth of the West City is not only Wanguan, but also all the rich, if it is really investigated, no one can escape.

Although it was considered extremely inappropriate for this to be done, at such a time, if those corrupt ministers came to check on Xue Muyan again as an attack, they would not be able to take it as a warning.

"It's good for you to watch from the side when I do it, if you want to be on top in the future, you still need their support." There are some things that can't be done by Xue Muyan, it's better for him to do it himself, especially the situation in front of him, which needs to be controlled.

What the emperor is worried about at the moment is that he has military power, so no matter what he says, keeping this opportunity in mind, the emperor will definitely try his best to take his military power back from him.

"In the next few days, I will personally go to the border to hold the military power tighter."

So I was still thinking about what the emperor's attitude meant today, if it was really just for military power, why did he have to embarrass Xue Muyan so much.

Even if you want Xue Muyan to be a pawn, you have to give some sweetness, but the current situation is not like this at all.

"Do you see the attitude of this prince?"

"With disgust on my face and pretending to admit it, I actually let everyone know that I am most likely not the emperor's biological son." As usual, he briefly summarized the attitude of today's prince, and it was obvious that he was pretending to be elegant and cowardly, and those big families thought that he was extremely easy to control.

Xue Muyan secretly checked what the prince had done over the years, and he held the silver in his hands not for luxury and pleasure, but for secretly stationing troops.

"It seems that you have a number in your heart, the prince has been secretly killing for many years, even His Majesty may not be in his eyes, Lin Xiang is a chess piece in his hand, and he means where to fight."

He is the child who is most like the emperor among all people, so it is understandable that the emperor chose him, but in terms of the current situation, it is too laborious and costly, just to have soldiers in his own hands, because the emperor had already handed over the border defense power to him the year before last, but for the thin layer on his face, he refused to accept it.

"Master, Master Chu Cangming Chu is here."

Today on the top of the main hall, Lord Chu didn't speak for a long time, I don't know whether to guide the prince's side or Xue Muyan's side, and come to visit in person at night.

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, even Ning Hao has no bottom in his heart, but the last time he raided the prince's mansion at night, he personally led the soldiers, if he can take this opportunity, he will move in his direction.

"I don't know what happens when adults see old decay at night?"

"Your Majesty asked me to pass on the decree and let Lord Ning enter the palace, if you have time, Chu also wants to say something to Lord Ning."

Chu Cangming's disgust for the crown prince, no one in the Manchu Dynasty did not know, and if he didn't speak today, he just told them that His Majesty still had some thoughts in Xue Muyan's heart.

"Is it possible that Lord Chu wants to turn his back on Your Majesty?"

"Lord Ning misunderstood, do you know why I didn't speak for a long time in the main hall today?"

His Majesty said that it was a test for the crown prince, it was better to hand over the real power to him, but His Royal Highness the prince refused to accept it, otherwise Xue Muyan would not have had the opportunity to touch the military power.

"Your Majesty may still want to give Xue Muyan a chance, and everything will be determined after he goes back." Chu Cangming had seen those treasures, which were already close to half of the treasury, what kind of wealth was that.

Ning Hao couldn't understand how a person like Chu Cangming could easily stand in line, could it be that the emperor and the crown prince really did something unacceptable.

"That kid just wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, are adults thinking too much." Ning Hao has now bitten Xue Muyan in order to return to his parents, so everything needs to be explained for them.

Chu Cangming didn't break it, and handed over a letter secretly written by His Majesty to Ning Hao, although he didn't know the content, he could roughly guess it, after all, the Manchu Dynasty was now staring at who could take the throne.

"I know what His Majesty Lord Chu thinks, but Your Majesty never thought of letting that child go back!"

At this point, Chu Cangming no longer hid himself, "Lord Ning doesn't want to know, why is Chu unwilling to support the prince?" ”

Ning Hao didn't seem to want to know, he was afraid of causing trouble to Xue Muyan, and after sighing, he calmed down in his heart, and listened to Chu Cangming's story, his face was full of surprise.

"You mean the prince amassed wealth?"

He snorted, his face full of disdain, the prince of a country was reduced to taking bribes to entrap the ministers, "Adou who can't be helped." ”
