The next day, Prime Minister Mei Xian was catching up on his sleep after reading a novel all night. He was alerted by the sound of the government officials searching and fled into the secret room.

Meixian Cheng, who was wearing underwear, was arrested on the spot. Master Xia didn't run away either, and his whole family was also captured.

Like Naqu Yuanwai, these two people simply said that they were working for Guo Xuan. It was up to Xie Chengan whether he dared to challenge the Minister of Civil Affairs.

If Magistrate Xie is as stubborn as Magistrate Wang and insists on punishing them both, he will also report it to the government. The prefect of Qingyang will definitely ask the county to escort the two of them to the capital.

If Xie Zhixian is a wise person who knows how to advance and retreat, he will contact Guo Xuan.

With Guo Xuan's urinary nature, he is afraid that he will kill someone and silence him. But he was beyond his reach, so he should ask Xie Chengan to escort the two of them to the capital.

Then the thieves raised by Mei and Xia can hijack the prison car on the way and rescue the two people. Therefore, no matter what Xie Chengan chooses, as long as they are escorted out of Anlan County, someone will save them!

Xie Chengan was indeed in a dilemma.

We have known for a long time that these two people are Guo Xuan's minions. The key is how can he, a small county magistrate, have the ability to overthrow the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? What's more, the case of selling an official position also involves Xie Zhizhou.

Therefore, in addition to Naqu members, Xie Chengan was also released.

Later, it was Jiang Ruiyan's idea to report the matter to Han Shouyue. Han Shouyue was Guo Xuan's political enemy.

It was Guo Xuan who got involved with Han Shouyue and almost brought him down.

Jiang Ruiyan meant that if they intervened in this matter, nothing would come of it. Just leave it to Han Shouyue and let them, the top bosses, fight.

As for Xie Zhizhou, he is just buying an official position. At most, he will be beaten to the end and never hired. Xie Chengan is not involved either. Besides, Xie Chengan contributed to this case, which can be regarded as meritorious.

Lin Xu was responsible for escorting the two men. He knew that these were closely related, and there were rumors that there were two groups of thieves under these two men, so he sent extra manpower to be on guard.

Sure enough, after leaving the county, someone really came to rob the prisoners, but Lin Xu led the government officials to fight back and captured more than ten thieves alive.

Lin Xu simply escorted these thieves to the Chief Envoy.

Han Shouyue's official fortune was not good during this period. When he learned that Guo Xuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was secretly stumbling upon him, he was naturally furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Suddenly, Anlan County issued a report saying that the former county magistrate and chief secretary who had escaped a month ago were caught, and it was also implicated that Guo Xuan had betrayed his official position. Han Shouyue was immediately overjoyed.

After Lin Xu successfully escorted a group of people to the government office, Guo Xuan rewarded these county government officers and sent them back. Han Shouyue organized an interrogation overnight, and must prove Guo Xuan's death, and then completely overthrow him!

However, for senior officials like them, who are above the third rank, the evidence of the crime is just an introduction, and he still needs to contact Guo Xuan's political opponents to launch an attack together.

As for the Da'anliang Temple case, Han Shouyue didn't have the energy to take care of it, so he wrote a letter to Qingyang Magistrate to deal with it.

How could Su Mulan know about these messy official affairs?

Qingniu came to Su Zhai a few days ago and accidentally mentioned that Tong Yuanwai's Zhengxiang Restaurant was for sale. She was also thinking about opening a restaurant, so Qingniu introduced her and bought it from Tong Yuanwai for ten thousand taels of silver.

The most promising eldest son of Mr. Tong died, half of his revenge was avenged, and he didn't dare to expect the other half. Frustrated, he planned to sell off his property and return to his country manor to retire.

This Zhengxiang Restaurant is not far from the county government office and is the most prosperous area in Anlan. If Tong Yuanwai didn't want to quit, he wouldn't have transferred it easily.

After Su Mulan took over, she changed the original restaurant into a teahouse, and naturally she had the idea to let Ye Yu and others rehearse the Condor Trilogy.

She runs a teahouse, but she thought Xie Chengan's suggestion was quite good.

Now that Xie Chengan was handling major cases and followed her advice to buy back 150,000 shi of grain in Taihu Lake, he was able to secure his position as county magistrate.

So, under the protection of Xie Chengan, Su Mulan naturally dared to open a teahouse and rehearse plays. You can make money and have fun at the same time, so this is definitely a fairy day.

Su Xiaobai and Li Fan went to Taihu Lake this time and purchased 150,000 shi of grain, which has now been stored in the granary of Da'anliang Temple.

With these three hundred thousand stones of food, Su Mulan felt that dealing with possible natural disasters would not be a big problem. Just put your mind down and enjoy life.

At the end of the year, Xie Chengan and Jiang Ruiyan returned to Xie's residence in Fucheng to celebrate the New Year.

Because of the Da'anliang Temple case, the county government gained a lot. Xie Cheng'an rewarded Qing Niu with 300 taels of silver, and Lin Xu, who had made great achievements, received 500 taels of silver. Qing Niu and Lin Xu also happily returned to their hometowns to reunite with their families.

The Su family now has a lot of money, so this year will naturally be lively and smooth.

Mulan Zhai, run by Yang Jing, has made fifteen thousand taels of silver in more than half a year.

As expected by Su Mulan, in just over half a year, other shops in Anlan County have already researched the various foods of Mulan Zhai.

Although the taste is slightly worse than Mulan Zhai, the price is cheaper. Although Mulanzhai still has business, it is gradually declining.

After Su Mulan took over the Zhengxiang Building and converted it into a teahouse, she asked Yang Jing to be the second shopkeeper. Mulan Zhai was merged into the teahouse, and the food continued to be served in the teahouse.

In the past few months, Yang Jing had earned two to three hundred taels of silver through commissions, and she returned home happily!

The Wang brothers and the Yang brothers had worked hard for several months, so Su Mulan would not treat them badly. In addition to their wages, she also rewarded each of them with twelve taels of silver and sent them back to the village with Qing Niu to celebrate the New Year.

As Su Zhai's part-time accountant, Li Fan kept all transactions in order. Su Mulan knew that his family was poor, so she specially gave him fifty taels of silver.

Li Fan blushed and couldn't refuse in any way, so he had to accept it. After saying goodbye to Xiaobai, he also returned to his hometown to reunite with his parents, and came to Anlan again after the Lantern Festival.

As for Ye Yu and the other six girls, as well as the servants, mothers-in-law, and girls they bought, they all stayed at Su's house to celebrate the New Year.

Naturally, these people also receive silver rewards, but the amount varies. The six girls like Ye Yu naturally had more, and each received ten taels of silver. Others cut it in half.

During these days, Mr. Yu was diligent in running the house, managing the servants, and taking good care of Su Xiaobai and Su Xi'er. Su Mulan gave her five hundred taels of silver notes.

It can be regarded as her filial piety and a reward for her. Su Mulan now has a lot of money, so she naturally wants to be nicer to her family. Even if I had some unpleasantness with this Yu family.

Although Su Xiaobai and Li Fan failed to pass the scholar examination this year, their knowledge improved greatly during their time at Gaoyang Academy. In addition, after a trip to Taihu Lake, the two of them gained something and became more and more like men.

Su Xiaobai is confident that he will be able to pass the examination in 1989 when he takes the college examination next year. Under the deliberate arrangement of the female shopkeeper of Xiangxiu Tower, Su Xier also learned a lot of skills from the master embroiderer.

The costumes of Ye Yu and others were designed and sewn by Su Xier according to Su Mulan's instructions!

Seeing her younger siblings making great progress, Su Mulan was overjoyed. This year has been extremely comfortable. If I was really sorry, it would be that Xie Chengan went home.
