The ink corruption case, which had been noisy for several days, was closed, and the emperor's handling of it lightly made the government, the opposition, the context, the military and the officials all heave a sigh of relief. After all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and no one wants to think that at this time, tens of thousands of people in the capital will be punished, bloody and mournful, and no one will have a good time this year.
Therefore, everyone praised the emperor's benevolence.
The huge ink corruption case was closed, and the lifeless atmosphere that had shrouded the capital for several days changed, and suddenly the sky was sunny and sunny.
The nine clans of Pingjun Wangfu and Shangshufu of the Ministry of Industry took the knife hanging from their heads, wept with joy, and thanked the emperor a thousand times.
Qi Shu came to Rong An Palace immediately after the imperial decree was promulgated.
On that day, Princess Pingjun killed King Pingjun. He was intoxicated by hallucinogenic drugs and became unconscious. He didn't even know how he hurt Ye Chang. Afterwards, Physician Meng took his ecstasy, and he realized that Ye Chang was hurt. But after his parents died, the huge Pingjun Palace was thrown to him, and he wished he could die too. But thinking that Ye Chang couldn't get away that day in order to save him, he troubled Xu Yunchu to rescue Su Fengnuan, and didn't leave him alone, he gritted his teeth and came over, set up a mourning hall, and buried the king and princess of Pingjun.
The Pingjun Palace was involved in such a big case of ink corruption, and the death of the Pingjun King and Princess was disgraceful, so no one went to offer their condolences, and the funeral of the two was simply handled.
After handling the funeral of the two, he sold all the things that could be sold, and only collected 500,000 taels of silver to return to the household department. The remaining 2.5 million taels, he was unable to think of a way Pay it back. Simply wait for the emperor to close the case. If the nine clans of the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun were punished, he could only be counted as one of them.
Unexpectedly, the emperor closed the case today, and the imperial decree stated that he and He Zhi should pay off rare treasures, and the nine families of Pingjun Wangfu were acquitted. He naturally knew that he didn't have any rare treasures for the household department, and he thought that Ye Chang must have done something out of it. So, I immediately came to see Ye Chang.
The housekeeper took Qi Shu to the main courtyard.
Ye Chang, Su Fengnuan, and Ye Xi were sitting in the painting hall chatting.
After Qi Shu stepped into the threshold, she immediately saw Su Fengnuan sitting on the low couch, embroidering the wedding gown with bright red wedding gown fabric. The brocade silk satin made her beautiful and radiant. He froze for a moment, then turned around, and saw Ye Chang and Ye Xi sitting opposite each other drinking tea.
He looked at Ye Chang and Ye Xi, and cupped his hands, "Brother Ye Chang, Brother Ye Xi." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands at Su Fengnuan again, "Miss Su."
Ye Chang pointed to the chair beside him and said casually, "Sit."
Qi Shu sat down.
Su Fengnuan looked at Qi Shu, Pingjun Wangfu suffered such a catastrophe, he was almost so thin that he was out of shape, and there was a trace of decadence from inside to outside. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Chen Chen, Shen Qi, and Qi Shu had been friends with Ye Chang since they were young, but unfortunately they were all implicated because of family crimes. Now that the statement is far away in the west, Shen Qi is dead, and Qi Shu is in the capital. Although the emperor is kind-hearted and exempted the nine clans of the Pingjun Palace from the death penalty, he has deprived the Pingjun Palace of the title. Qi Shu can only rely on himself in the future if he wants to get ahead .
Ye Chang poured a cup of tea for Qi Shu, and said to him, "The case of ink corruption in the household department has been closed. Next, what are your plans?"
Qi Shu shook his head, "I don't know what to plan." After saying that, he said, "Thank you very much, the nine clans of Pingjun Wangfu can keep it, I know it must be because of you helping me."
Ye Chang said, "We are brothers, so I don't need to say polite words. I investigated the ink corruption case of the household department and found King Pingjun. In order to rectify the household department and clear the court, there is no way to find him out. The emperor is not cruel. He can't do the matter of punishing the Jiu Clan. Your father and the minister of the Ministry of Industry have been framed for many years before they reached this point. Even if it's not for you and my brother, it's for the Jiu Clan For the sake of how many people are innocent, I will naturally deal with it to prevent more people from being victimized."
Qi Shu nodded and said honestly, "Without you, I really don't want to live."
Ye Chang reached out and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and said to him, "Your mother is so stubborn that she can't face your father's concubine and all the children. She killed your father and then committed suicide, which is also a relief. Otherwise, for the rest of my life, I will be full of grievances and resentments, and I will not be safe. Your father deserves more than death. As for you, the ink corruption case has been closed, and today is the day, so let’s expose it.
Qi Shu said weakly, "That's easy to say, but those people in my house, my father's concubine and children, how do we deal with them?"
Ye Xi took the conversation from the side, "Get out of the mansion, and just fend for yourself."
Qi Shu said, "I can ignore my father's outer rooms, but what about his children? They are also my brothers and sisters. I raided their mansions, sold all their belongings, and returned them to the household department. .and drive them out, how will they survive?"
Ye Xi supported his forehead, "Brother Qi Shu is too kind."
Ye Chang couldn't help showing a smile, "It's a good thing for people to have kind thoughts, and only good intentions will lead to good results."
Qi Shu said, "Although it was because of them that my mother killed my father and I lost my parents in one day. But the root cause is that my father, who likes women, caused this result. They also Innocent. I am the elder brother after all. No matter how unlovable they are, they are still brothers and sisters younger than me. Although they have no brotherhood, they have blood. In such a cold winter, if they are outside, they might freeze to death on the streets."
Ye Xi shrugged, "In that case, you can only support them."
Qi Shu bit her lip, "If I were to raise them and treat them as my burden, I would be very unwilling. After all, my mother died because of them."
Ye Xi looked at Qi Shu and was speechless.
Ye Chang said, "This is easy to handle."
Qi Shu looked at Ye Chang, "What can you do?"
Ye Chang said to him, "Pingjun Prince's Mansion has been deprived of its title, your mansion has been reduced to an ordinary mansion, but if it is reduced to an ordinary mansion, at present, the scale is too large, and it does not conform to the regulations of ordinary mansions .If you keep it, you will be impeached by Yushitai sooner or later. In my opinion, you might as well divide it into two. You keep the main house, and the rest is given to your father's outhouses and children. It’s worthy of them.”
When Qi Shu heard this, he suddenly thought about it.
Ye Chang said again, "Now there is only this mansion left in the Qi Mansion. There are no gold and silver things, and it is empty. But the mansion is also worth some money. You divide the mansion into two. After the separation, It is two mansions that have nothing to do with each other. It can not only avoid the regulation of the court, but also take care of them. If they have the ability to survive, they will guard the half of the mansion to live. If they do not have the ability to survive, You can sell the mansion, and it will be enough to support them for a lifetime."
Qi Shu nodded.
Ye Chang said, "In this way, you can treat them with the utmost benevolence and righteousness as a brother, and they don't have to be your burden, and you don't have to take care of them and be unhappy because of your mother's death."
Qi Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "That's fine, you still have a way. After returning home today, I'll do it this way!"
Ye Chang nodded, and said to him, "After the New Year, Nuaner and I plan to leave Beijing and pass through the western border. Since you don't know what to plan, why not come out of Beijing with us. Maybe you go out for a walk, Then go to the western region to meet with the statement, and you will know what you want to do in the future."
Qi Shu nodded, and readily agreed, "Okay, I haven't traveled far, and now no one is controlling me, I should go out and see."
In this way, the two matters that bothered Qi Shu were settled, and he sat in the Rong An Palace for a while, and when he returned to the mansion, he was obviously in a much better mood.
After Qi Shu left, Ye Xi said to Ye Chang, "You are right, good results come from a kind heart. Qi Shu has such a heart, and he will not be worse in the future."
Ye Chang said bluntly, "The friendship between me and him since we were young, if his conduct is bad, wouldn't it mean that I don't know people clearly?"
Ye Xi rolled his eyes, got up and went back to his courtyard.
After the two left, Ye Chang got up and came to Su Fengnuan, hugged her and said, "I've been embroidering for half a day, stop embroidering, I'm tired."
Su Fengnuan then put down his needle and thread, and said to him, "Now that the ink corruption case has been closed, Qi Shu has made arrangements, and He Zhi is still in my mansion, should I call him here and ask him about his plans? He can't stay here forever In the Su residence. Especially the people from the Assassin Sect are also here. He Zhi is a disciple that Feng Meiren has secretly accepted, and I plan to hand over the Assassin Sect to him."
Ye Chang said, "Alright, just send Qian Han to call him here."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and gave an order to the outside, Qian Han responded, and immediately went to Su's residence.
Su Fengnuan lived in the Rongan Palace, Xiao Han and Xie Xuan also went to the Rongan Palace, only He Zhi and Nixiu were left in Fengnuan Pavilion.
He Zhi lives in Fengnuan Pavilion without a master, and thinks this is really new. An ordinary boudoir lady can't keep a man in her boudoir, but Su Fengnuan is not an ordinary boudoir lady, she doesn't care about this. In addition, in his opinion, her Fengnuan Pavilion is just like an inn, and she didn't stay in her boudoir for a few days. I heard from Niqiu that if no one takes care of it, her Fengnuan Pavilion can grow weeds as high as the roof.
The case of corruption of ink in the Ministry of Households was concluded simply and lightly, and no one from the nine clans in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Industry suffered any harm. For a moment, he didn't know what he planned to do in the future.
So, when Qian Han came to him, he was doing nothing, taking care of the crabapple trees in the greenhouse built by Su Fengnuan with Ni Qiang.
