Lin Yixuan snuggled in her husband's arms and said softly, "Lord Wang's brother seems to have a good relationship with the Jinan Tongpan, who is related to the Salt Transport Commissioner by marriage."
"Hmm?" Li Yaonan frowned and looked down at the head in his arms.
Lin Yixuan paused, raised her head, and smiled: "The Shandong Salt Transport Commissioner, who studied under Mingwei Academy, my husband might be able to remind the prince."
Li Yaonan patted his shoulder and thought quickly. He believed that his husband would never say this for no reason. In recent days in the court, he had a good understanding of some interpersonal relationships. Mingwei Academy has always been a place of party disputes. If he remembered correctly, Fan Pengyi's grandfather seemed to be the dean of Mingwei Academy.
Seeing that her husband understood, Lin Yixuan's eyes dimmed slightly, and she continued, "Last year's disaster relief money was seven or eight out of ten, and it seems that only one or two out of ten went into the prince's pocket. A little bit of work can make up for it."
Li Yaonan was shocked, his emotions fluctuating, he didn't know whether it was for the common people or for the greed of those officials: "How did you know?"
Lin Yixuan smiled lightly: "You forgot that we passed through Shandong on the way to Beijing. The local people knew about this, but it was not reported to the emperor."
Li Yaonan thought about it carefully and indeed did not remember this happening, so he asked, "Where did the other five or six out of ten go?"
A sneer appeared on Lin Yixuan's lips: "Officials protect each other, half of it goes into the pockets of officials, and the other half goes into the pocket of the Sixth Prince."
Li Yaonan suddenly realized that Lord Wang's family was a group of fence-sitters. He did not ask his husband how he knew these secret matters. His husband had his own little secrets, which he had always known. He also had his own secrets. He felt that these were just insignificant matters. As long as they did not hinder the relationship between them, there was no need to be fussy about them and make everything so clear.
Lin Yixuan smiled softly. Originally, he only planned to make the Sixth Prince suffer a small loss in secret and trick him. After all, there was a huge gap in strength between the two. He was not sure that he could cause serious losses to the Sixth Prince's lineage without exposing himself. But now, the Sixth Prince had successfully angered him. The hatred of past and present lives could be avenged at the same time. It was also time to teach others a lesson, so that no one would go against her husband's will.
The two discussed countermeasures, and the sky gradually became brighter. Chunxian hurriedly reported that the cousin was coming.
Li Yaonan was slightly startled. It seemed that something really happened after he left last night, otherwise his cousin would not have come so anxiously.
After a quick wash, she pressed her husband onto the bed and said, "Go to sleep first. I'll take care of things."
Lin Yixuan refused and looked at him stubbornly: "I want to know too." Someone was plotting against her husband, so how could she not find out? Zhang Qixian came at the right time.
Li Yaonan had no choice but to hug him gently: "Be good, your husband will tell you later, now just rest well, okay?"
Lin Yixuan pouted. He was indeed not feeling well, but it was not that serious. He had been pretending too much just now and now he had hit his own foot. His little face was full of regret.
Li Yaonan secretly laughed, coaxed his young husband, and then turned to go to the front yard. Zhang Qixian rarely showed an anxious look, walking back and forth in the room. When he saw Li Yaonan, he immediately got angry: "Why are you here just now?"
Li Yaonan raised his eyebrows and smiled, then said slowly, "Cousin, you came here early this morning. Is there something important?"
Zhang Qixian was so angry that he fell backwards. It turned out that the emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was. Seeing his cousin's leisurely attitude, he became angry in his heart: "It's all because of your trivial matter."
Li Yaonan pushed the tea bowl in front of him and said with a smile, "Cousin, calm down and talk slowly."
Zhang Qixian was helpless. He felt angry and hateful, but he couldn't really just let it go. He simply didn't bother to look at him and told him about what happened last night when he caught him cheating.
After listening to this, Li Yaonan was silent for a while: "Cousin, can you give me more details?"
Zhang Qixian's eyes widened, he was so angry that his heart and stomach ached. He had already talked until his mouth was dry, so how could he ask for more details
Li Yaonan frowned in deep thought, tapping the table with his fingers from time to time: "All the details, I want to know all the details."
Seeing that his cousin looked serious, Zhang Qixian gulped down a bowl of tea and told him what had happened in detail, including who said what and what they saw.
Li Yaonan raised the corners of his lips and quickly came up with a plan in his mind. It turned out that details are the key.
Zhang Qixian felt a little relieved. He knew that his cousin was smart and seemed to have an idea. "Cousin, can you think of any good ideas?" He thought that it would not be a big deal to take a concubine back home, as it would ruin the reputation of the young master. However, he would never allow it if he was being plotted against.
Li Yaonan just smiled and said nothing, pretending to be innocent, "I am innocent, so I don't need any advice. Third cousin, please don't let your imagination run wild."
Zhang Qixian was choked and turned his head away angrily. It was really true that good intentions were not rewarded. However, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, he would find out when he went to the government office.
Li Yaonan first went to give instructions to her husband, and seeing that it was getting late, she went into the palace with her cousin.
After Li Yaonan left, Lin Yixuan got up in a hurry, called his trusted maidservant, and issued orders one by one. He thought it might be a good thing to reveal some cards at the right time.
"Dongxue." Lin Yixuan's face was cold, revealing a bit of viciousness.
"The servant is here."
"Have Yongkang go to Shandong immediately. Tell him to hurry up and start the layout in Shandong immediately. Tell Yang Shishi that if she does a good job, I will not only forgive her past, but also give her a place to settle down."
"yes."
"Qiu Luan." Lin Yixuan turned his head, his eyes were cold and grim. In this life, he still didn't understand open conspiracy, but he had a lot of handles on officials from all over the country. He didn't believe that even with the help of the prince, he couldn't deal with a prince.
"I'm here." Qiu Luan's heart tightened and she quickly took half a step forward and lowered her head respectfully.
"Tell the Yangzhou caravan to quietly deliver the evidence to the inspector. Remember to do it cleanly without leaving any traces."
"Yes, I will obey your command."
"Xia Yu." Lin Yixuan's eyes darkened. The prince had a violent temper. He knew that his actions were tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, but he could not bear it and did not want to bear it any longer. Moreover, according to his understanding of the prince, as long as he operated well, the prince should not take a mere third place in the imperial examination seriously. Although he was using a knife to kill someone, the prince also gained some benefits. His husband was right. There were no eternal interests and no eternal friends. He never dreamed that he would borrow the knife from the prince.
"I'm here." Xia Yu responded respectfully.
Lin Yixuan said calmly: "Go to the street with the Crown Prince's concubine and ask her to persuade her. If she doesn't agree, just say 'A moment of yellow plum rain, a charming and foolish girl who is not afraid of being guessed, hand in hand with her on the road to Lotus Lake'."
"Yes." Xia Yu was suspicious. Although she didn't understand the meaning of this poem, her master had always been mysterious. She didn't dare to ask more. She just secretly blamed her son-in-law in her heart and asked him to return her gentle and amiable master to her.
Lin Yixuan waved his hand and asked them to leave. Only then did he feel tired. The past events that he didn't want to recall came to his mind. The prince's concubine had made him live a life worse than death. He was locked up in the cold yard for a whole year. He ate leftover soup and cold rice, slept on rotten cloth and straw, and the yard was full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. He couldn't live, and he wanted to die. His mother and brother would be threatened. He didn't know how he survived those days.
It seemed natural that he gradually became worse and more cruel. In fact, he should thank this poem, otherwise how could he have caught Concubine Liu's handle and how could he know that she had a lover in the past.
This poem helped him to turn things around in the prince's backyard, but it also made him no longer himself. Looking back on it now, the strong hatred in his heart still seems to have nowhere to vent.
Lin Yixuan was immersed in his own thoughts, unable to control the inexplicable sadness.
"Daddy, daddy." Xiao Xu'er had gotten up and walked over slowly, with an innocent smile on his face. The nurse was anxious beside him, afraid that the little master would stumble.
Lin Yixuan raised his head suddenly. Xu'er's soft voice seemed like a salvation that penetrated into his heart. The whole person instantly became bright. Yes, he had a son, a husband, and a warm home. The things of the previous life had long become the past. Now he was just using what he knew in the previous life to seek benefits for himself. How could he be affected by the emotions of the previous life
A beautiful smile bloomed on Lin Yixuan's lips, and her pretty face was as radiant as the sky after rain.
"Be good, come to daddy." Lin Yixuan teased Xiao Xuer with a piece of dessert in his hand.
"Daddy, daddy." Xiao Xuer giggled. He wanted to run right after learning to walk, and he would fall for sure. His little body pitched forward and fell to the ground. Xiao Xuer looked at his daddy aggrievedly, pursed his lips and sniffed as if he was about to cry.
Lin Yixuan was amused and took a bite of the dessert: "Xiao Xu'er, do you want some?"
The attraction of food was indeed great. Xiao Xuer got up swiftly and walked towards his father again.
Lin Yixuan felt soft-hearted, wondering if it would be too hard for the child to leave. Although there was a blanket on the floor, it would definitely be painful if he fell. She smiled and picked up her son and wiped his hands.
"Yes, yes." Xiao Xuer pointed at the snack, and his little paws really wanted to grab it.
Lin Yixuan smiled gently, took a piece of dessert and put it in his hand, and said in a gentle tone full of pampering: "Little rascal."
When Li Yaonan arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he clearly noticed the different looks from the crowd, as well as the expressions of wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
Zhang Qixian pulled the corner of his lips, glanced at his little cousin, and revealed a gloating smile. He had let himself talk all the way, but this guy refused to say a word. Let's see what he will do now. Zhang Qixian was very angry and felt more and more that he had no authority in front of his little cousin.
Having said that, with his character, he has no moral bottom line at all, so how can he be dignified
Li Yaonan turned a blind eye, greeted his colleagues as usual, and continued with his work, as if nothing had happened yesterday. His attitude made it difficult for others to intervene, after all, this was Lord Wang's family affair, and they had no right to intervene. Moreover, everyone knew that Li Yaonan was a troublemaker!
Li Yaonan sneered in his heart, not bothering to care about what everyone was thinking. There was no shit on his head originally, so was he going to put the shit pot on himself
Zhang Qixian was speechless. Where was the criticism he had imagined? Where was the scene of his younger cousin arguing with a group of sour people? Why was it so quiet today
Helplessly, Zhang Qixian returned to his seat and everyone did their own things. The Hanlin Academy was very friendly today!
Lord Wang is getting impatient. He plotted against Li Yaonan yesterday, and since he escaped, the drugging would surely be exposed. However, Wang Hongyuan is very confident that Li Yaonan will never have any evidence. So he is waiting today, waiting for Li Yaonan to come and settle the score with him, or to defend himself. Either way, he is very sure that it is a fact that his son was bullied, and his colleagues have seen it with their own eyes. He doesn't believe that Li Yaonan would dare to be irresponsible!
