Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Settle accounts after autumn except Xie An

The imperial examination in the capital city has already ended, and the top three have selected more than 70 students in total, and students from Jinzhou accounted for ten seats.

Under the operation of Nangong Jingnv, Jinzhou students occupied one of the three seats in the first class.

The number one scholar is Yu Wenjin, the young son of Yu Wenzheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

The second place is Jinzhou student: Qin De.

Exploring Suzhou students: Liu Yu'an.

In this matter, Nangong Jingnv and Nangong Rang had a disagreement. She didn't want such a person to get the precious first-class seat, and the candidate for the champion was not Nangong Jingnv's favorite person.The writing style of the young son of the Shangshu family is quite satisfactory, and he was No.3 from the bottom in the examination. It can be seen that this person's talent and knowledge are slightly inferior to other students. When the court is employing people, Nangong Jingnv is a little confused why her father arranges it like this .

After the palace examination, Nangong Rang took the initiative to summon Nangong Jing'er, and the father and daughter used to write and speak.

Nangong Rang: Is my son puzzled?

Nangong Jingnu: "Father, my son really doesn't understand, not to mention Liu Yu'an, who is a candidate for the flower, Yu Wenjin almost failed in the exam, and won the first prize before the red list of the exam..."

Nangong Rang: In the past few years, my son no longer needs to worry about my father. This time... Nangong Rang's pen paused when he wrote here, but he quickly continued to write: This Enke may be the last time Hosted by the father.

Nangong Jingnu: "Father!"

Nangong Rang raised his hand with difficulty, Nangong Jingnv didn't say any more, Nangong Rang's eyes flashed a gleam of relief: his daughter has grown up, and he is no longer the old emotional little daughter, so he can rest assured.

In the past few years, Nangong Rang's mentality has changed several times. From the beginning, he tried every means to get better, to the painful saw-saw in the process, and recently he looked down on life and death.

When it really came to the last moment, I had a premonition instead.The so-called "long live" is the lie he hears the most, how can there be any long live?

For Nangongrang now, death is a relief.The reason why he gritted his teeth and lived hard in the world was because he was somewhat worried about the daughter in front of him...

Although there are many hidden dangers in the court, after entrusting Qi Yan with the task of eliminating future troubles, Nan Gongrang has slowly let go.

Recently, Nangong Rang can always recall the dream that year, a strange beast with amber eyes flew out of his bedroom on a black cloud.Guan Tiansi said that this is a good omen, that a worthy minister will come to the world, but Nangong Rang has always been jealous and suppressed Qi Yan for many years.

Now it seems... maybe I was wrong, if I had cultivated Qi Yan earlier like Xing Jingfu, I might have brought down the Taiwei Mansion.

Nangongrang came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and Sijiu tacitly grasped Nangongrang's wrist holding the pen, slightly stopping the trembling of his hand.

Nan Gongrang continued to write: My son, remember that the palace examination is a subject of knowledge, especially the allocation of the first and third seats. The students of the poor and noble families must be exposed to both rain and dew. The stability of the ranking, the second place is insignificant, and it is also a kind of grace to give to the poor students.As for Tanhua... a student with both talent and appearance must be selected.

Nangong Jingnv remembered that Qi Yan was also from Tanhua back then, so she asked: "Father, why is this?"

Nangong Rang: If some important ministers have no legitimate sons under their knees, or if their legitimate sons die early, they will inevitably feel disheartened because they have no successors. My son can find the right time to marry Tanhualang...

Sijiu saw Nangong let his eyes show anxiety, knowing that the master has a lot to say, but his hands don't obey.Sijiu knelt beside Nangong Rang, and said humbly: "Your Majesty, let this old slave talk to His Highness?"

Nangong let out a monosyllable from his throat and put down his pen.

Sijiu explained: "Your Highness, as the saying goes, it is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. The position of Tanhualang has always been an unwritten grace. In the past, His Majesty would choose a suitable time to give Tanhualang a marriage. Tan Hualang married into the mansion of a family without a son, betrothed to his daughter, so as to ensure that the loyal courtiers would not be cut off because of childlessness. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Hongwen Museum to find out, although there is no record of this matter In the classics, there is a tacit understanding between monarchs and ministers that has lasted for hundreds of years. Your Highness must understand His Majesty's good intentions..."

Nangong Jingnv suddenly realized: Father is keeping Liu Yu'an to himself, as a gift to courtiers.What about Qi Yan?Who is the grace to be bestowed on?

As soon as her sweetheart was involved, Nangong Jingnv's thoughts also changed.Countless students Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, but they were treated as gifts once they were admitted, which was unacceptable to Nangong Jingnv.

Nangong Jingnv was silent. As a child, she didn't want to disobey her dying father, and as a princess, she couldn't disobey His Majesty.

Nangong Jingnv knew that everything her father did was for herself, but deep down in her heart she did not agree with this approach.

A new framework has been vaguely formed in her mind, a framework that is very different from the current government, and she is waiting for the day when the name is justified, slowly adding bricks and tiles.

After bidding farewell to Nangong Rang, Nangong Jingnv returned to Weiming Palace and called Chen Chuansi.

Chen Chuansi entered Nangong Jingnv's study, and Qiu Ju closed the study door from the outside and guarded the door.

It can be said that Nangong Jingnv has been able to keep the "secret" of government affairs to this day. On the one hand, it is Nangong Rang's love and protection, and on the other hand, the two loyal servants inside and outside have also made great contributions.

Chen Chuansi knelt in front of Nangong Jingnv: "See Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu: "Get up, sit and talk."

Chen Chuansi: "The villain dare not, please give orders, Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu: "Last time I asked you to investigate the fire in the son-in-law's mansion in secret. You said you have some clues a while ago, how about it?"

Chen Chuansi: "Returning to Your Highness, the pile below saw the imperial gift at a place called Tongyuan Pawnshop in the capital. The villain found the account books of the son-in-law's mansion and confirmed that these items were indeed from the son-in-law's mansion." .”

Nangong Jingnv squinted her eyes, and a dangerous aura exuded from her body: "Go ahead."

Chen Chuansi: "These days, the villain has sent several reliable pawns to sneak into Tongyuan pawnshop, and found that the owner of this pawnshop is Xie, named An; styled Yuanshan."

Nangong Jingnu: "What else? This Xie An...isn't just a simple merchant?"

Chen Chuansi: "His Royal Highness, Xie Anzu has been in business for generations, and his industries spread all over the country, and he has been involved in all walks of life. By the time of Xie An's generation, he was already very wealthy. The villain visited secretly and found that Yingtian Mansion and other mansions The yamen seems to be very polite to Xie An, but... Your Highness, Xie An is very careful. The servants around him and the servants in the mansion are all children of at least two generations, and the rest of the unreliable faces can only be on the periphery at most. As an errand in the industry, a villain... can only roughly infer that the master behind Xie An may be a certain prince, but there is no conclusive evidence for which villain it is. "

Nangong Jingnv's expression had calmed down, and there was no fluctuation after hearing Chen Chuansi's words. She picked up the teacup and raised her left hand to cover half of her face with her wide sleeve, and took a shallow sip.

Putting down the teacup, he said calmly, "Apart from the one of hiding the tribute, are there any other crimes?"

Chen Chuansi replied without hesitation: "Of course there are. Merchants like Xie An must have dirty hands. If you want to check, you can definitely find out."

Nangong Jingnu: "Ten days."

Chen Chuansi: "Yes! Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu: "Go."

After Chen Chuansi left, Nangong Jingnv thought about it: Xie An had only a few masters behind him, the second and fourth were imprisoned, but Xie's house could not be ruled out.

Xiaoqi and Laoba are still young, and these two people have no extravagant behavior on weekdays, and there is no reason to burn the son-in-law's mansion, so it can be ruled out.

Xie An, a merchant, was able to win the favor of the prince, he must have spent a lot of money...

The remaining three... are also the ones with the deepest family background among the many princes.

Fifth brother's mother concubine Xianfei, her mother's family is in charge of the salt and iron in the fourteen states in the south of the Yangtze River. It is better to make friends with his grandfather's family than to make friends with a merchant.

The sixth brother's mother and concubine are from the Ma family in Longdong, and their financial resources should not be underestimated. Moreover, the good concubine has received many rewards for her resemblance to the mother, so the sixth brother can rely on his generous spending.

So... could it be him?

The concubine Concubine Shu, the mother and concubine of the third prince Nan Gongwang, is the daughter of the general's family. The old general passed away a few years ago.

Nangong Jingnv took a deep breath: If the master behind Xie An is really Nangongwang, it would be easier to deal with. Taking advantage of Nangongwang's absence from the capital, Xie's mansion can just be uprooted.

……

A catastrophe is about to come, but the rich and powerful Mr. Xie An doesn't know it.

It was only because Nangong Wang left in a hurry that he didn't even have time to attend the birthday party, so the pawn that Xie An risked to accept was not delivered in time, and Chen Chuansi caught the clue.

Ten days later, at the behest of "Nangong Rang", the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Yingtian Mansion in the capital issued a seizure order, and dozens of copies were copied and sent to various places with a speed of [-] li.

However, within one morning, a quarter of the shops in the capital were sealed, and some of these shops had something to do with Xie An.

Xie An was blocked in the mansion by Yingtian Mansion's police officers, and more than 100 people from the entire Xie Mansion, from the head of the family to the concierge, were taken away.

Ying Tianfu Yin read out Xie An's crimes in front of the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: driving up market prices, selling illegal salt, reselling warehouse money, disregarding human life, selling counterfeit medicines, etc. [-] or [-] major crimes.

Xie An was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted for injustice: "My lord, I am wronged! You know that Xie has never done illegal activities! You know..."

Yin Tian's expression changed slightly, and he sternly reprimanded: "Bold! How can you make noise in the courtroom? This government doesn't know anything! This government advises you to keep your words to a minimum, right and wrong can be judged by ourselves!"

Xie An slumped on the ground, letting the yamen servants put the shackles on him.He is a smart person, Nangong Wang has taken care of Yin Tianfu Yin, since the other party has said so, I am afraid that someone above wants to touch him.

This person may be thinking that a certain prince will pull him out while the Third Highness is away, or he may be someone that the prince cannot suppress...

Seeing Xie An's "knowledge", Yin Tianfu Yin's face looked better.He also took a lot of benefits from Xie An, pondered for a moment and finally reminded: "The 'Sky' network is fully restored, and it is not leaked. Come and put Xie An in the sky prison, and you will be convicted after three rounds of interrogation!"
