Rebellious officials and thieves are cheating on their fathers

"You are the emperor's companion, and you are also the supervisor of the censor. Naturally, it is better to live in the palace. This will not only help father take care of everything in the palace, but also let the people in the censor stand know that you are someone close to the emperor. , it will also be beneficial for you to serve in Yushitai." Qin Xisong said.

"But wouldn't that be against the rules?"

"Rules are dead, people are alive. What's more, companions must follow the emperor to be called companions. As long as no one questions, you can live there with peace of mind. When someone points it out, we will make plans .” Qin Xisong said.

Qin Ailan didn't say anything anymore, he also hoped to be in the palace so that he could see the whole situation more clearly.

The two father and son chatted for a while, Qin Ailan yawned again and again, Qin Xisong saw that he didn't wake up, and sent him away.

When Qin Ailan returned to the courtyard, she saw a woman with heavy make-up in his courtyard.

"My lord, Yingying heard that you are going to take office at Yushitai soon. There were so many people yesterday, Yingying knew she was humble, so she dared not come to congratulate you. Today, when you are free, I came to see you. This is Yingying. The cloak that Ying sewed for you, do you wear it to see if it fits you?"

As she spoke, the woman picked up the cloak held by the maid beside her, and stepped forward to put it on Qin Ailan.

This woman named Yingying was the concubine of the former idiot Qin Ailan, but Liu Xiaoping didn't have much impression of her, because Qin Ailan had too many women, twenty or thirty of them, all raised in Dongyuan.

Fortunately, they didn't live together, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Yingying's body smelled very strong of makeup, presumably she specially dressed up in order to please herself.

She is indeed pretty, but now this Qin Ailan has no special feelings for women.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will accept this cloak. I will remember your thoughts. I have other things to do. If you have nothing to do, go back first!" Qin Ailan took the cloak and said.

Yingying couldn't help feeling disappointed when he told her to go back; but fortunately, Qin Ailan had already put away her cloak, which showed that she still had her own in her heart.

Thinking of this, Yingying was full of expectations.

"Then Yingying will leave first! If you are free, please come to Taoyuan to sit. The gate of Taoyuan will always be open for you."

"Well, I see." Qin Ailan replied calmly.

Only then did Yingying turn and leave reluctantly.

Qin Ailan looked at her back and sighed softly. How to arrange these women in the future has become a big problem in his heart.

Holding that gorgeous cloak in Qin Ailan's hand, it was like a hot potato.

Qin Ailan glanced at it twice, and saw that this woman's embroidery was amazing, the patterns on the cloak were lifelike, and there was no flaw in every single stitch.

Qin Ailan suddenly had some thoughts in her mind, so she took the cloak into the room and called his personal maid, "Bi Luo, come and see how the embroidery of this cloak is?"

Bi Luo didn't know why Qin Ailan suddenly asked this question, but he took a closer look and said, "This man's embroidery is sharp and the colors are well matched. The rare birds he embroiders are vivid and vivid, which can be called first-class. When will the son treat the woman?" Is Hong also interested?"

Since her son lost his memory, his personality has changed drastically, and his hobbies are completely different from before. Biluo has been taking care of him in his daily life, but he gradually got used to it, and he is not as cautious as before, and occasionally jokes with him.

"The cloak was sent by Yingying. I don't know how she embroidered it, so I came to ask you." Qin Ailan said.

"It turned out that it was sent by the thirteenth lady. Her embroidery and that of the nineteenth lady are the best. Although the other wives are not as good as them, they are not bad. This is the son's blessing." Bi Luo said.

Qin Ailan smiled, but did not deny it.

When the silver taels were collected, Qin Ailan ordered Bi Luo and Chai Gui to collect the rest of the gifts except the silver taels into his private treasury, and she went to the bank to exchange all the silver coins into bank notes.

After everything was settled, Qin Ailan went to say goodbye to Qin Xisong and went to the palace.

When he arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, he learned that Chu Yu had been staying in Linde Palace and hadn't come back all day.

Today is a holiday, but I didn't expect Chu Yu to be so diligent, Qin Ailan admired him a little bit.

Qin Ailan walked towards Linde Hall alone, but saw that the candles in the hall were dimly lit, and the young and handsome emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the classics in his hand.

Qin Ailan walked into the hall, "The emperor is so late and still not going back to bed, is he waiting for me?"

He was originally joking, but Chu Yu felt a little guilty when he heard it, and frowned, "So it was you who came back."

"Could it be that the emperor doesn't welcome you?" Qin Ailan looked at Chu Yu with a smile.

Chu Yu ignored him, and instead asked, "Is there a clue to the Haikou that Mr. Qin boasted about?"

"It turns out that the emperor is so unfavorable?"

Chu Yu smiled slightly, and said mockingly: "Young Master Qin's ability, I believe in it. I don't know how much gift money Young Master Qin received for the banquet set up by the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday?"

Qin Ailan was not surprised when she saw that he knew about the Qin family's banquet, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't you guess?"

Chu Yu's smile was a bit cold, "Looking at Mr. Qin's complacent expression, he must have collected enough money to repair the embankment."

"The emperor thinks highly of me, and I only received forty to fifty thousand. However, I do the math, saving labor costs should be enough."

A cold light flashed in Chu Yu's eyes——[-] to [-] silver!Qin's father and son received so many bribes for holding a banquet!

Now the national treasury is empty and the people's life is hard. It seems that all of them have been taken away by this group of silverfish!

Chu Yu couldn't suppress the grief and indignation in his heart.

After a while, Chu Yufang asked, "Fourty or fifty thousand taels is not enough. Besides the material cost, there will be no wages, and we will not be able to start work at that time."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, why do we have to spend a lot of money to hire craftsmen? I think we can find more suitable people to do this without spending money." Qin Ailan said.

Chu Yu didn't know what he was trying to sell, so he said, "Please tell Mr. Qin clearly."

"I wonder if the emperor still remembers Lord Lin's family?" Qin Ailan asked.

Chu Yu was not sure why he suddenly mentioned Lin Xiangwen. He had some absurd guesses, but when he thought about the grievances between Qin Ailan and the Lin family, he felt that his guesses were completely unrealistic.

"Master Lin's family is currently in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. They will be executed after this autumn. I wonder why Mr. Qin asked such a question?" Chu Yu said.

"Master Lin was a minister of the Ministry of Industry when he was young. He must be very good at building dikes and controlling water. He is a talented person. We might as well let him go to Qingzhou to complete this matter."

"Young Master Qin is probably joking!" Hearing what Qin Ailan said, Chu Yu couldn't help but sneer, "Let's not say that Mr. Lin is a guilty body, even if he is innocent, I'm afraid your father will not agree to let him go to Qingzhou to make meritorious deeds." And who among the ministers in the court is willing to give up this opportunity?"

"Those ministers refused to give in because they had enough money in the past, and they could get money from it. But if there is no money allocated to them this time, no one will want to take this hot potato!" Qin Ailan said.

Chu Yu looked at Qin Ailan hesitantly, this person he hated, his behavior style made him really hard to fathom.

"Even if your father and the court officials won't interfere, Mr. Lin may not take over this task. I owe him justice!" Having said this, Chu Yu's face darkened.

"This world is not fair. There is so much justice to be said. You should fight for everything yourself." Qin Ailan said.

Chu Yu couldn't help looking at him, and his face regained his spirit, "Although you say so, Mr. Lin's family has been sentenced to death, I'm afraid they have already lost their hearts."

"Of course, we let him take the lead, naturally giving him a chance to regain his life. If he can guarantee that there will be no floods in Qingzhou this year, then why not take this as a grace to him, and it is also a life he has won for himself! "

The Lin family was imprisoned because of Qin Ailan. Although he was not the real Qin Ailan, he felt a lot of guilt towards the Lin family. Fortunately, there were many rules for killing a death row criminal in ancient times, so he was given a chance to make amends.

"You...why did you help Master Lin and me?" Chu Yu couldn't believe it.

"Doing a good deed every day is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You just think that I have done all the bad things in the past, and now I want to change my ways. What's more, I heard that Mr. Lin is a talented person, and it would be a pity to kill him."

Qin Ailan's face was lazy and her tone was very casual. It was the first time that Chu Yu didn't find this person extremely hateful.

However, Chu Yu didn't really believe Qin Ailan's change and rhetoric, "That's all?"

"Then what else?"

"Lin Muxue." Chu Yu suddenly thought of Lord Lin's beloved daughter, "You won't force other people's innocence from now on, will you?"

"Didn't you hear that Lin Muxue had eloped with Lin Xiangwen's adopted son? But, where do you think they would flee to? That kid was really capable and injured me, and he hasn't been arrested yet."

Seeing that he said that Lin Muxue and Han Jiyun didn't react too aggressively, Chu Yu felt relieved, but she was also very curious.

"After you lost your memory, can you really let go of the past?" Chu Yu asked.

Seeing that he had a lot of problems today, Qin Ailan joked: "Does the emperor want me to continue to hold those hatreds that I can't remember at all, and continue to do evil?"

There was a sly light in Qin Ailan's eyes, Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then turned away, "It's good that you can forget the past grievances. But if one day you regain your memory, will you still be able to remember?" Be an aboveboard person like today?"

"Up and aboveboard? It turns out that the emperor thinks so highly of me. I'm really flattered." Qin Ailan smiled slyly.

Chu Yu suddenly felt a little annoyed to be serious with this person in front of him.

"You are really unreasonable! I am going back to Zhaoyang Palace." Chu Yu stood up and left Linde Hall without looking back.

Qin Ailan followed behind him unhurriedly, "Why does the emperor suddenly not want to know the answer?"
