said that the business of Nalan Mansion was not affected, but it was all a swollen face and a fat man, and he lied to himself.

Since Dongfang Yi "fell out of favor" in front of the old emperor, the business of the workshop has also declined.

People are inherently higher animals, and those who look at money in business are even more advanced animals who can think rationally.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. This is the most basic law of human life.

The so-called icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

Those who were close to Nalan Jin for the sake of profit at the beginning wanted Dongfang Yi's prestige in front of the old emperor, but now that they have been degraded, they naturally try their best to leave quickly, so as not to get into trouble.

"It's really not that there is something suddenly at home, and you need to go back to deal with it in time, you look at this ......account," Boss Wu prevaricated.

"Boss Wu, I can't be the master of this matter, I have to ask Miss." The shopkeeper is a little embarrassed.

At this time, Nalan Jin arrived at the workshop and heard the wails of those people pretending to be pitiful.

"The shopkeeper, settle the bill for him." Nalan Jin agreed without blinking an eye.

"Got it, miss." The shopkeeper nodded, "Boss Wu, please come with me." ”

"Thank you, Miss, for your magnanimity." Boss Wu should be thanked.

The shopkeeper took out the account book, found Boss Wu's account, and calculated every penny. Boss Wu was worried that there were mistakes and omissions, so he personally calculated it several times.

"Alright. That's right, the shopkeeper's work is really careful. Boss Wu complimented.

"That's not as careful as Boss Wu's. Every penny has to be established repeatedly, and the workshop of Nalan Mansion is placed here, although there are fluctuations, but it will not be able to do such a discredited thing. ”

The shopkeeper really can't stand Boss Wu's approach. So he pointed to Sang scolding Huai's preaching to Boss Wu.

"Uh...... Hehe, we are all businessmen, it's good to be cautious, save you trouble, and leave me with trouble. Boss Wu forced himself to explain.

"Really?" The amount of the shopkeeper disdains to entangle with Boss Wu.

"Anyway, I still hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future." Boss Wu stood up like a poor workshop.

The shopkeeper didn't respond, just silently made a gesture of please. Let Boss Wu leave quickly, afraid that he would vomit after a few more looks.

Seeing that Boss Wu successfully left the Nalan Workshop, some other businessmen also asked to terminate the contract.

"I'm sorry, but I'm in a bit of a hurry to turn around."

"Yesterday I received a letter from home that my father suddenly became seriously ill and needed medical treatment."

"I'm in a hurry to get the silver, too."

Suddenly, there were a lot of people in the workshop, chattering and chattering. In other words, it is just asking for money for one purpose.

"Why are you ......," the shopkeeper was a little overwhelmed, "why are so many people here all of a sudden?" What do you want to do, one by one, slowly. ”

So many mouths, one person and one sentence, made the shopkeeper dizzy. The people who came were so aggressive that if it weren't for the cabinet, they would have been able to squeeze the shopkeeper to death.

"The shopkeeper, not counting many people, has to settle all the bills without any hesitation, understand?" Nalan Jin looked at so many people in color, and her heart was even more irritable.

In just a few days, these people received the news, but I am afraid that Dongfang Yi does not know how much pressure he has endured in the court.

Although the shopkeeper didn't know what was going on in the workshop, looking at Nalan Jin's appearance, it must be another tricky question.

The shopkeeper took the people aside and gave them a clear settlement one by one. These people are originally running a small business, and they are naturally happy to make money, but once they have a tendency to lose money, they start to get nervous.

They have a thin foundation and can't afford to pay at all.

But for the workshop in Nalan Mansion, it is just a drop in the penny, and the loss of these merchants will not affect the overall situation at all.

Dongfang Yi's life in the court was not easy, those who were usually stepped on by the Dongfang Party finally saw Dongfang Yi's defeat, and they didn't take this opportunity to fall into the ground.

Rats leave a sinking ship.

As soon as Dongfang Yi had something, there were scandals one after another, and things that even he didn't know about were dug up and imposed on him by those ministers.

"Do you have any objections to what they said?" The old emperor inquired about Dongfang Yi and wanted to hear his own explanation.

"The minister only wants to say one word, there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add, and the minister is self-purifying, not afraid of threats." Dongfang Yi is righteous and awe-inspiring, and does not defend himself.

"Bold! When you say that, are you confused and listen to slander? The old emperor was furious.

"Your Majesty, this is clearly blasphemy." Daesung continues to denigrate.

Under the anger of the old emperor, Dongfang Yi would rather die than give in, refusing to bow his head and admit his mistakes, he was emotional, and he needed to be a little excessive.

Sui Ran, Dongfang Yi was dragged out to hit the board as a punishment.

Those who previously followed the Dongfang Yi party. saw that he was punished by the old emperor three times and twice, and was beaten and scolded at every turn.

They were worried that it would be their turn next, so they distanced themselves from Dongfang Yi.

At the same time, the people who were attached to Zhao Wenlu were valued by the old emperor because of their meritorious work in impeaching Dongfang Yi, and they were promoted to knighthood.

Therefore, those people quietly defected to Zhao Wenlu and showed him their loyalty.

"Wechen didn't know Mount Tai before, and I ask the three princes not to dislike it, and give Wechen a chance to serve the dogs and horses." The ministers took refuge in Zhao Wenlu one by one.

"Well, in the heart of this king, you have always been loyal to the emperor, and this king will remember it in his heart." Zhao Wenlu laughed proudly and accepted the hearts of those ministers.

With such a wave of operations, Zhao Wenlu's small treasury has expanded a lot, preparing for him to recruit troops, and adding a solid backing.

There are two sides to everything, and there are those ministers who swore to follow Dongfang Yi in order to repay their kindness, and they told Dongfang Yi about the defection, but he didn't have much emotional change.

"Thank you, my lords, I am really grateful for thinking about the East at such a time." Dongfang Yi sincerely thanks.

"What Lord Dongfang said, we just did what we had to do, you must be careful, it seems that the third prince came at you on purpose this time." The ministers repeatedly admonished.

"Understood, thank you."

Dongfang Yi didn't care too much about Zhao Wenlu's scheming, and didn't do anything about what he did.

At this time, a rebellion suddenly broke out in the southern region, and some bandits and bandits in the surrounding areas took advantage of this time to respond. Soon a large army was organized.

This army burned, killed, looted, did all kinds of evil, bullied women and children, and destroyed human nature. Many girls from good families were sold to Qinglou after being ruined.

Many people can't survive there, so they quietly flee at night, and they also dress up their daughters as men.

Even so, this rebellious army was not satisfied, they robbed the yamen and robbed the official rations.

In just a few days, people fleeing can be seen near the city.

The old emperor received the report from the south, and was furious, and looked for someone to solve the matter in the court, but no one dared to come forward.

"What's wrong? Usually I see that you are all very good at speaking, don't you? The old emperor took the fold and interrogated, "Now I ask you how to solve the affairs of the south, how have you all become dumb." ”

There was still no one in the Manchu Dynasty who dared to speak up, for fear of losing his life in such a riotous place, angering the rebels, and fearing that his wife and daughter would be humiliated.

"Your Majesty, we can send troops to quell the rebellion." A military general proposed.

"Counterinsurgency, who will be the marshal? Can there be a candidate? The old emperor asked.

There was silence in the hall again.

"Why, no one dares to go?" The old emperor was cold, "You take the court's money, live a life of worry-free food and clothing, you don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and you will only hide aside when you encounter problems." You are talking! ”

The old emperor angrily threw the fold out, and the civil and military officials standing below hurriedly knelt down, trembling and bowing their heads, for fear that the heavens would be angry.

The old emperor was angry with a headache, and half of him retired from the imperial court to rest.

Dongfang Yi originally wanted to come out, but was stopped by several officials. He walked on the road and thought about it, feeling that rebellion was not a good thing at this time, and his mood was a little complicated.

Nalan Jin accompanied Dongfang Qi to study, but he looked worried and absent-minded.

"Mother, are you in trouble? Walking around, I can't go to school with peace of mind. Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin's worried look.

"It's been this hour, your father hasn't come back yet, I'm a little worried." Nalan Jin glanced at the door.

"Dad's old man, and he's not a child. I didn't come back, and I didn't see my mother worrying about me so much. Dongfang Qi pouted, feeling discriminatory treatment.

"Too much has happened in the past few days, and I'm worried that something will happen to your father." Nalan Jin wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to explain to Dongfang Qi the deceit of the adult world.

"Okay, I'm just saying, mother, I'm a little hungry." Dongfang Qi touched his rumbling belly.

"Okay, you study first, and my mother will go make you snacks."

Nalan Jin was anxious, and ran to the kitchen to relieve her emotions by making snacks.

originally thought that there was something in her hand, so she wouldn't think crankily in her heart, but she didn't expect her mind to be too heavy, and she was burned by a match, which made her sober again, and she thought about Dongfang Yi's affairs.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Cui'er came in and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Nalan Jin was in a trance, "Fight the fire." ”

When Nalan Jin reacted, the firewood was about to burn her clothes.

Cui'er hurriedly dipped in water to extinguish the flames, "Miss, what's wrong with you, you are absent-minded, I will cook whatever you want to eat." ”

"It's okay, I'm going to change my clothes, Qi'er wants to have a snack. I'll come when I go. Nalan Jin shook her head.

Just as Nalan Jin left the kitchen, he heard a corner not far away, and someone was whispering.

Originally, Nalan Jin didn't care, but what they said made her stop.
