Chapter 22: The Downcast Prince Turns Over [22]
Qiao Zhongde looked at Ran Changye with a smile and patted Ran Changye's shoulder.
"Ran Shangshu is still young, only thirteen years old and ranked second-class, the future is promising, you are young and vigorous, naturally you don't understand the rules of officialdom, and after sitting for a long time, Ran Shangshu knows the rules of officialdom."
Ran Changye was already extremely disgusted with people who were greedy for ink, but he had to endure it, his official position was far below Qiao Zhongde.
In addition, Qiao Zhongde, he has the support of the Qiao family behind him, but Ran Changye does not, this is the most deadly.
——
Qiao Junzhu, who was eavesdropping behind the pillar, seemed to have guessed what Ran Changye was thinking, and somewhat understood his situation.
Self-made, with no support behind him, the youngest high/official in the whole Beihan, who is deeply trusted by the emperor, I am afraid that in the entire Beihan, there is only Ran Changye.
——
Ran Changye was indeed entangled because of Qiao Zhongde's words, he didn't know how to choose?
Affection? Or is it your original intention?
His original intention of entering the officialdom is his motivation, he doesn't want to lose himself in this big dye vat, let alone lose his only relative.
After all, you can't have both.
In the face of the country's righteousness, his personal feelings were illusory, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at Qiao Zhongde seriously.
"Da Sima, the minister doesn't dare to bully the king, I hope you will forgive me, please take out the account book and let the minister check them one by one."
After Qiao Zhongde listened to Ran Changye's words, he slapped the table angrily, stood up, and looked at Ran Changye coldly.
"Ran Shangshu, do you know what will happen if you go against the four great families? A grassroots who was born in cloth clothes and wants to go against the family? ”
"Da Sima doesn't know, although the minister is from the grassroots, the minister is a courtier promoted by His Majesty, and he should serve His Majesty, Da Sima don't want to embarrass the minister, please hand over the account book, and the minister will go back to restore his life."
"Come on, blast him out of Qiao's Mansion!"
When the soldiers of Qiao's Mansion heard their family master say this, they immediately stepped forward to surround Ran Changye and drive him away.
Ran Changye used light skills to get behind the soldiers, "Da Sima is weak-hearted?" It is His Majesty's duty to rectify the rule of officials, and the ministers should also assist His Majesty in rectifying the rule of officials, Da Sima, and hand over the account books, otherwise, it will be difficult to ensure that Queen Xiao's mother family will take action. ”
When Ran Changye mentioned Empress Xiao's maternal family, Qiao Zhongde broke out in a cold sweat and tried to stabilize his emotions.
The Xiao family, you can't be provoked, the power of the Xiao family has always been a mystery, and you can't act rashly.
But isn't handing over the ledger a self-defeating one?
Over the years, the four great families have been greedy for ink in their own territory, which has become a norm.
A Ran Changye came out of nowhere, destroying the interests of the four great families, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Boy, this behavior touches the interests of the four great families, do you know?"
"The minister doesn't know, the minister only knows what he is told."
Ran Changye still looked at Qiao Zhongde with an unchanged face, and the iron-faced selflessness estimated that it was him.
Qiao Zhongde took out an account book and breathed a sigh of relief, thanking himself for having the foresight to deal with this donkey, otherwise it would really be over.
Ran Changye looked at the account book and frowned, this account book seems to have been prepared in advance, but ...... I don't see any flaws.
Ran Changye carefully recalled that he had secretly investigated the assets under the Qiao family's name before, and some of the assets in them were not in the account books.
Isn't this Qiao Zhongde fake in advance?
Ran Changye suddenly looked at Qiao Zhongde, but he had no evidence to prove that he was fake, it seemed that this investigation of the Qiao family could only return in vain.
Ran Changye sighed, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, flipped through a few pages, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
