The three salt merchants were robbed of their homes, and the rest trembled, and gave Li Chengze most of the family property, and in addition to the silver tickets, he also gave a lot of rare antique gems. The three salt merchants who raided the house conspired to assassinate Huilan, and now the whole family has been beheaded.

Li Chengze asked Huilan to pick what she liked to stay first, and after looking around, she left two calligraphy and paintings, and the others waved their hands and were not very interested.

The matter of the salt merchants and officials was perfectly solved, Li Chengze invited the officials and salt merchants of Yangzhou and the local wealthy merchants and many other people, and burned the rubbings he had copied himself at the banquet.

There is also the silver money and incriminating evidence given to the second prince every year, how can it be destroyed.

The officials breathed a sigh of relief, and the meal was a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts.

This matter has been agreed by the emperor, and the emperor also knows what the second Li Chengzhi has done, and he is very depressed, and there are many comforts and comforts in the letters to the prince.

This matter was done well, the Zhou family and the Ma family were very smart this time to win over the court officials to endorse the prince, praising his merits, saying that the prince took into account the overall situation and made great contributions to the collection and rectification of Jiangnan officialdom this time, and the affairs were done beautifully and exemplary.

The emperor was also very happy, in order to make up for the grievances of Li Chengze's assassination, he specially invented a decree to reward the prince, which is also very important to Li Chengze, especially the commendation, so that the people and the officials in the capital all know that the credit of the plate cannot be erased, and the reputation is too important to the prince.

Li Chengze has been in Jiangnan for a long time, Huilan took advantage of his busy time to go to the old house of the Ding family, donated some silver money to repair the ancestral tomb of the ancestral hall and the school, and asked Li Chengze to buy some good land to donate to the Ding family, so that the poor clansmen can also benefit.

This time, the salt merchants raided many things, among which shops and fertile land were important assets, and they had to be converted into silver money and rushed into the national treasury.

Huilan went back this time to instruct them to take out the money and buy it, these will become the ancestral fields of the ancestral hall, and the ancestral fields will not be confiscated even if they are raided and destroyed, so that the clansmen can have a final way out.

Specially explained a lot of things to the old patriarch and the clan elders of the ancestral hall, and the old patriarch had already written back and made a lot of instructions to the Ding family's old mansion, and they all understood Huilan's good intentions and promised to clean up the disobedient and troublesome [567 Chinese] people.

The old patriarch is going to step down, and it will be handed over to Ding Simiao and several respected and clear-minded clan elders and capable young people to take charge, and he will take his wife back to the old mansion to take care of the ancestral fields of the old mansion and other trivial matters.

Huilan did her best for the Ding family, and she really didn't accept the kindness of the little girl in vain, and cleaned up and down the Ding family, and specially found a master from Jinshi in the old house, so that the children could have a good master to teach, and the old patriarch would return to the old house next year at most, and there would be no chaos if someone guarded it.

The affairs of the Ding family clan were arranged, and Li Chengze accompanied Huilan to play alone and swim in the river for a few days, and then he was ready to take a boat back to Beijing.

Pei Xin and Pei Liang also have to go back together, his two brothers' parents died early, and it doesn't matter where they go for their home.

"This time the matter is well done, do you think it is necessary to mention the second child when you go back, I guess it's no fun to mention it."

Hui Lan stood on the deck in a silver-red coat and talked to Li Chengze.

"If you are wronged, you still have to cry, come back in exchange for some benefits, the second child will not be a big deal, but we can knock out some of his minions, and our grievances cannot be in vain."

Li Chengze snorted lightly.

"Well, it's okay, find a place for Pei Xin and Pei Liang to live, be more spacious, they have to practice martial arts, and it's quite quiet."

"Let's go to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, there was a hot spring Zhuangzi earlier, which was left by my mother, and the Lin family gave it to me, and it was all my own people, and it had nothing to do with the royal family."

"Well, then choose that."

After wandering around the road for almost a month, Li Chengze and Pei Liang had a good time, Pei Liang is a smart and talented person, Li Chengze admires him very much for this.

The killer has a very short time to learn, Pei Liang is from the grassroots, he uses all means to learn, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he has dabbled in hundreds of schools, and even Sun Tzu has a lot of experience in the art of war, if he is not in the wrong place, he will be a shining figure.

The two often play chess together and get to know each other, but they are a little sympathetic to each other, but they are also a little afraid of each other, which is probably a common problem of smart people.

When he arrived in the capital, Li Chengze went back to the palace directly to change his clothes and went to Miansheng first, Huilan went back to Qinghui Garden, and Pei Xin and Pei Liang were led by Cao Heng and Sun Bin to settle down in Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

Back at Qinghui Garden, Mama Yan led all the minions of Qinghui Garden to kneel at the door to greet her.

"The minions asked the master to make up and welcome the master back to the palace."

Hui Lan hadn't seen her for a long time, and when she saw that they welcomed her home, she couldn't help but raise her hand and laugh, "Get up quickly, everyone has a reward, everyone has a gift." ”

"Oh! The master is wise! Thank you for the reward! ”

Qiuyun has the most refreshing temper, and is the first to tease happily.

"Count your sweet mouths."

turned to pull up Mama Yan and thanked her sincerely, "Mama, thank you for helping me take care of Qinghui Garden these days, you have worked hard, I brought you some Yangzhou specialties, worthless gadgets, don't dislike it, try to be fresh." ”

"Don't dislike it, I'm worried about it, it's good to come back, I watched people lose weight, and I heard about assassination in a trance, so scared that my old woman didn't sleep well for a few days, just come back."

Mama Yan sighed again and again, holding her hand and groping, with the warmth and love unique to the elderly.

"I'm okay, it's all over, let's celebrate today, have a big meal, let Yu Qing prepare a few good dishes, I'm happy today, everyone in the courtyard will be rewarded with a month's monthly money, and there will be another reward according to the size of the merit."

"Thank you for your great kindness."

The crowd laughed happily.

"Change your clothes and go to the Yongning Hall to say goodbye."

Mama Yan hesitated for a moment, but still reminded responsibly.

"Okay, I'll go over here, and Lilac will bring the watch with me."

"Go ahead."

Mama Yan also nodded with a smile and patted her hands, approving of her approach.

Huilan went to Yongning Hall with gifts, "Concubine Ding visited the crown princess and asked the crown princess Yi'an." ”

"Get up, you've worked hard, just come back."

Zhou Ying had a calm attitude and did not have any embarrassment, but was very close.

"Thank you for your concern, the concubine is fine, the concubine came back from Yangzhou and brought a small gift to the sisters in the East Palace, this is the mother's, it's not a rare thing, it's a new thing, don't dislike it."

With both hands, he handed the gift to the big palace maid Yuyan who came forward to take it.

"You have a heart, it's hard to take the boat, go back and rest first, and when I ask Your Highness, I'll pick you up and wash the dust."

"Yes, the concubine is retired."

Hui Lan retreated.

Back in Qinghui Garden, everyone was already busy, Yu Qing prepared good dishes, and also equipped hot pots, roasted whole sheep and other big dishes.

The minions helped together, and happily shared the small gifts that the cloves brought back to everyone, and the whole yard was full of laughter.
