"Pray that the Lord will find his fighting spirit!"

"Cheer up, Lord, come back!"

For a moment, the entire roof was filled with a noisy pleading.

Huo Jue looked at them, and suddenly smiled quietly: "What are you yelling about?" When did I say not to cheer up? ”

The men in black all looked at him in amazement.

He glanced at them and continued, "She's investigating Cao Yun's case, and I also think there's a big problem here." She's very capable, much more capable than I thought she would, and I'd like to follow her for the time being, so there's nothing to use for you for the time being. When I will use you, I will pass it on to you. ”

The shoulders of the man in black suddenly loosened.

Huo Jue looked at them and said, "If you are idle now, you can divide a few people to go to Jingshi to inquire about the news, didn't Du Cen say a while ago that he was going to sue the old man?" There will be a turmoil in the private court of the court, and they will be watched carefully.

"Especially Ji Zhenyuan. This time, he has great hopes for the appointment of first assistant. Then the rest of the people stared at Xie Rong of Zhan Shifu, she had always regarded him as a target for revenge, and she would go to the bottom of this person to see how solid his relationship with Ji Zhenyuan was, if it wasn't very difficult, she would create something to mess up his position first, so that she would have to worry about how to start. ”

"Obedience!"

The leader seems to have finally found his goal, and he replied with full energy.

When Cheng Yuan got up after a night's rest, Xie Wan also completely recovered her usual energetic spirits.

Early in the morning, she walked to the front yard through the heavy snow and said, "Let's make an assumption, let's say that the cabinet will be reorganized at this time. Then someone wants to sue the old man and retire or something, have we used the opportunity to deal with Xie Rong and his party? ”

Cheng Yuan was stunned when he heard this, because he hadn't thought about why the good cabinet would be reorganized.

But he thought about it seriously and said, "Naturally, you can use it."

"If the cabinet is reorganized, it at least means that there is a new person coming in, and who this person is and who he is very important. According to the current situation, no matter who it is, since Ji Zhenyuan and his party want to help Yin Yao, they will definitely take this opportunity to stuff their own people. That's the case. As his successor, Xie Rong, who was cultivated, will definitely benefit from this.

"The first thing we're going to do is sabotage their plans. made them have one less powerful helper, and then took advantage of the opportunity to separate the relationship between Xie Rong and Ji Zhenyuan. And after that, if possible. We can elect one of our own. ”

Cheng Yuan's eyes were blazing. Apparently there is hope in this, too.

Xie Wan nodded: "Not bad." That's what I thought, too. But the relationship between Xie Rong and Ji Zhenyuan is not something that can be done in one or two things, and it is easy to arouse their vigilance if they are in a hurry, so they can only take their time subtly. It's the candidate for the cabinet. I thought of one, do you think it can be done? ”

"Who?" Cheng Yuan said.

"Wei Bin." Xie Wan said calmly. "Wei Bin has a fair position, and there is nothing likely to be biased towards me. But who called Xie Wei and Wei Xianam, and that incident caused him and Xie Rong to have a disagreement? Wei Bin is a smart person, he knows that Xie Rong will not want to see him, and he also knows that it will not be a good thing for him if Xie Rong really supports Yin Yao in the future, so he still has certain conditions. ”

Cheng Yuan nodded heavily, "Yes, this is indeed a ready-made good candidate!" ”

Xie Wan let out a long breath and said, "But Wei Bin is not so easy to move, after all, there is still a certain risk in putting the bet on me, I have to think about how to do it." ”

Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said, "When is the girl going to enter Beijing?" ”

"Qian Zhuang, they will leave as soon as they get things done." Xie Wan said, "Take advantage of these few days to deal with some trivial matters at hand, no accident, Xie Rong will also come back for the New Year, we can't let him find out that we have entered Beijing, so we have to take care of it before that." ”

Cheng Yuan thought so.

Xing Zhu returned to the mansion at the beginning of the lunar month. She came back with Luo Ju.

Luo Ju has made a little fortune in the past two years, and he looks more and more like a big shopkeeper. She still brought back a lot of rouge pollen to Xie Wan, as well as some head jewelry, and by the way, she also brought some to Aunt Yuxue Xiu.

These were all purchased by him with money from his own offerings, and Xie Wan didn't bother with him, this little thing was really worthless to his current offerings, so he didn't bother with his kindness.

Now she has more than 10 rice shops in Beijing, and the name of Jufu Rice Village has been well known to the people of Beijing, and the food stamps issued in the rice village are popular with everyone because they can be used in every rice village. Now other rice farms have begun to follow suit, but because Jufu rice farms were the first to implement such measures, they still have many advantages.

Because Xie Wan's next target is all the state capitals along the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Luo Ju will have more than half of his time running north from next year.

If the rice shops are increased, more boats will be needed. Regarding the mysterious person who appeared in the Cangzhou Wharf incident, Xie Wan was even more eager to understand his true face.

After sending Luo Ju away, she asked Xing Zhu: "What clues did you find?" ”

Xing Zhu said: "The slave and maid went to inquire about the clues given by the girl, and there were officials in the court, but there were twenty-four people with the word 'Lan' in their names or table characters. And no one said that they had ever lost this private seal. The slave and maid also tried to compare the seals of these twenty-four people one by one, and none of them were the same. ”

As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper full of seals to Xie Wan.

Xie Wan looked at it carefully, and saw that among the dense seals on the top, there was really no one that was the same as the seal on his hand, and each seal seemed to have all kinds of small flaws on the edge, and it could be seen that they were all old seals that had been used for a period of time, not new seals that were immediately replaced after being lost.

She looked up and asked, "Are you sure you haven't slipped through the net?" ”

Xing Zhu said affirmatively: "Sure no!" All the officials in the court have been searched. For this reason, I also specially asked Lord Zhao to find a list of various yamen officials. ”

Xie Wan frowned.

Since the ink used on the seal is the special ink for the yamen, it can be determined that the people in the court. And the corners of this seal have been smoothed on all sides, and it is certain that it has been used for many years, so at least someone will see or know whose seal it is, why can't they find a trace?

After thinking about it, she looked for Huo Jue again: "Are you really sure that the ink on the seal is the special ink ink in the yamen?" ”

Huo Jue looked at her and said, "I'll vouch for it with my head." ”

Xie Wan lowered his shoulders, this is strange, except for the officials in the yamen, who would use the special ink in the yamen for a long time, so that the ink mud is trapped in the grooves and can be printed with a little water?

After eating Laba porridge, Xie Wan began to work on the plan to drive Jufu Mizhuang to the state capital below Jingshi.

The next day, Luo Ju sent a few people to Tianjin to find shops.

On the third day, he went to Cangzhou with two entourages, one to find a shop and open it together with the shop in Tianjin, and the other to go to the dock by the way, and discuss with Tian Kong about hiring a few more boats.

Tian Kong has recently faced pressure from the helm Xie Wan also told her, the purpose of which is also to let him inquire about the current situation of the dock by the way, and if possible, ask him about the seal, maybe he can know some clues. So she called Xing Zhu and Qian Zhuang to go with him.

The end of the year is approaching, and it has snowed a few times in succession recently, and the snow is more than a foot thick everywhere.

When waiting for Qian Zhuang and them to come back, she took the time to go to Nanyuan, firstly to bid farewell to the Yu family, and secondly, to pay New Year's greetings in advance. But he unintentionally encountered two things, one is that Qi Ruxiu actually met her husband Wu Huaining in her previous life, and the Yu family couldn't look down on the family background of the Wu family and refused to marry Qi Ruxiu. The second is that Qi Song actually got the recommendation of Chen Ang, the governor of Qingyuan Prefecture, and there may be a promotion in the coming year.

Xie Wan was very happy about both things. Wu Huaining is not bad, and he was also very affectionate with Qi Ruxiu in his previous life. And Qi Song has been in his current position for seven or eight years, and it is time to move. Although this Chen Zhizhou is just a favor, with the help of his boss to speak, it is obviously different.

In his previous life, Qi Song resigned from the official battle at about this time and lost the official battle, and died of depression, which seems to be avoidable in this life. At least, if there is a place to get money, Xie Wan can completely carry it for him.

Xie Wan returned to Qinghe, and Qian Zhuang Luo Ju and they came back, but it was not good news, but bad news.

The matter of the ship was not settled, and the commission for hiring the ship was two hundred taels of silver per ship compared with the original charter. Tian Kong no longer cares about the charter of the ship, and now the charter of the ship is in the hands of the young envoy sent by the chief helm. Tian Kong is now only in charge of the terminal management. The two hundred taels of silver were said by the young envoy, because Xie Wan had to keep the matter of the new rice shop secret, so they didn't show up, and only let the people below talk.

"Originally, we thought they were cheating, but then we asked Xing Zhu to try to show him that we were old customers, but we didn't expect him to refuse, he said that from this month onwards, all supernumerary charters will be at this price. But they didn't have a receipt of the payment, so we didn't hire it. ”

In this way, Tian Kun has been hollowed out.

"That's right." Qian Zhuang nodded: "We went to him later, and he said that this was the order of the chief helm, and the chief helm already knew about the dispute on the ship last time." It is said that someone really went to find Ji Ge Lao to complain to Xie Sanye, and then Xie Sanye went to find the helmsman Cao, and the helmsman Cao then used this to set up the helmsman Tian. ”

Xie Wan was speechless for a long time.

In this way, the owner of the private chapter really has a friendship with Ji Zhenyuan, and when Xie Rong is already under Ji Zhenyuan's door, he has a friendship with Ji Zhenyuan, which is equivalent to having a lot of face in front of Xie Rong. Although this person is not necessarily an accomplice of Ji Xie and the others, at least it shows that Xie Rong doesn't want to offend him, even if it is such a trivial matter, he has to give an explanation to Cao An.

Xie Rong, who has always been high-minded, when did he obey people like this?

It seems that this "Lan" must be a person with a high status. (To be continued.) )
