Early the next morning, Huo Zheng really sent 100 taels of gold to Changning Palace.

Qian Yanzhi was changing his clothes. He had a round-neck gown with a large right lapel in ivory white, tied with a jade belt, and only short jade hairpins tied his hair.

As soon as he wrapped himself in a cloak of the same color, he saw the servant bring Huo Zheng's oral order and the hundred taels of gold he rewarded.

He should have been very happy at first, but when he saw the money, Qian Yanzhi thought of how he bent down for the money last night, and immediately cast aside it in his heart, and then stepped forward with a smile on his face. All the gold was collected.

"Brother Ah Yan."

Jing Yuan's cheerful and crisp voice sounded from outside the hall. He ran in from outside the hall with a smile, and was stunned immediately when he saw Qian Yanzhi's appearance, and said with a smile:

"Brother Ah Yan is so pretty."

As soon as he mentioned this brother Qian Yanzhi's smiling face dimmed, especially when he saw the gold that the servant had just delivered, he suddenly took a deep breath. The scene of being teased by Huo Zheng last night and calling him foster father reappeared in his memory in mind.

Looking at Qian Yanzhi's expression, Jing Yuan couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, Brother Ah Yan, are you unhappy?"

Qian Yanzhi looked at the child in front of him, pursed his lips and thought about it, and then said: "Jing Yuan, if you call me the right name, will you be unhappy?"

Jing Yuan blinked his dark eyes, and shook his head: "No, but what happened to brother Ah Yan? Don't you think you will be young if you call him brother?"

Qian Yanzhi: "Yes, it's young to call you brother, but it's easy for people to take advantage."

Jing Yuan didn't quite understand.

Qian Yanzhi squatted in front of him, seemed to think for a long time, and then said: "Jing Yuan, your father said that you called my brother, and I will be with you forever."

"Is it not good?" Jing Yuan asked.

Qian Yanzhi pursed her lips and shook her head: "He is your royal father, and I am his... His Shaoyuan Lord, so I cannot be a generation shorter than him."

It was only then that Jing Yuan suddenly realized, and suddenly laughed: "Then I know, I won't call you Brother Ah Yan from now on, but Father Jun."

Qian Yanzhi stroked the top of his hair in satisfaction. Seeing this cheap son in front of him, he felt very comfortable when he called his father. It feels so good to be a father.

He hugged Jing Yuan and got up, and went out with a smile: "Jing Yuan is so obedient, today my father took Jing Yuan out of the palace to play, but I have to go to Honglu Temple first."

Jing Yuan hugged his neck and nodded vigorously: "I obey my father."

Qian Yanzhi was in a good mood, hugged his cheap son, put money on his back and went out together.

Because of Chen Xuan, Qian Yanzhi naturally went directly to Honglu Temple to investigate the relationship between Fang Shaoqing and He Hongyang.

But when he met Qin Ziyue at the gate of the palace, Qian Yanzhi realized that before dawn this morning, Huo Zheng sent the forbidden army to surround He Hongyang's mansion because Qian Yanzhi caught Fang Shaoqing's murderer last night.

The murderer believed that he was instigated by He Hongyang, so when he was in court, He Hongyang was arrested and imprisoned, and his mansion was also surrounded by the forbidden army.

Qian Yanzhi walked around Honglu Temple and asked many people, but almost none of them believed that He Hongyang would be greedy for ink.

Therefore, Qian Yanzhi could only use Huo Zheng's imperial decree to transfer some people who could do arithmetic from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then took out all the account books of Honglu Temple over the years, and calculated the accounts step by step.

Under the porch of the courtyard of the yamen of Honglu Temple, there was a stove and a table of food and hot tea.

Qin Ziyue sat with Jing Yuan on the porch, watching Jing Yuan eating snacks seriously, Qin Ziyue glanced sideways at Qian Yanzhi who was with everyone in the second hall to settle the accounts, and then said to Jing Yuan:

"Your Highness, why did you follow Mr. Shaoyuan out today?"

Jing Yuan swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and said seriously: "My father said, I have accepted the love of Yang Xinhou, and I have to thank him, so today I am with brother Ah Yan, no, it is my father, so I will come out with my father today, and go The Yangxinhou Mansion would like to thank you."

Qin Ziyue was a little surprised: "Father? Your Highness is calling you Father?"

Jing Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head: "Father treats me very well. He is my father's Shaoyuan Lord, so he should be my father."

Qin Ziyue smiled and said: "That's right, my elder brother is a good guy, you didn't even see me and I was convinced by him."

Jing Yuanyang smiled, and his eyes fell on Qian Yanzhi who was seriously checking the accounts, and then said seriously: "I will be obedient, and I will not let my father and father worry about it."

Qin Ziyue suddenly sighed, his big brother is lucky to have such a big son all of a sudden.

However, when Qian Yanzhi was checking the accounts at Honglu Temple, Zhen Huanian, the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple, only went to his office after meeting Qian Yanzhi, and then used the excuse of physical discomfort, He left Honglu Temple and went home.

Fortunately, Qian Yanzhi watched them check the accounts one by one in the second hall, and finally came to the conclusion that since He Hongyang took office, the various expenses of this Honglu Temple began to rise, resulting in a total of 7000 yuan. The vacancy of more than [-] taels of silver cannot be filled.

According to He Hongyang's monthly salary, the more than 7000 taels is not a small amount. Then Qian Yanzhi made a decisive decision and presented the problems found in the accounts to the emperor. After Huo Zheng issued the imperial edict, he began to ransack the house.

However, in the end, only more than 1000 taels of silver were copied from He Hongyang's home, and the remaining 6000 taels were nowhere to be found.

He Hongyang never bought any real estate, nor did he buy real estate, real estate or shops, so the missing 2 taels caused Qian Yanzhi a headache.

By the time everything was over, it was almost the end of the application period.

Qin Ziyue also went back to the Marquis Mansion of Xichang happily, but now Qian Yanzhi took Jing Yuan to buy all kinds of rare treasures in the capital, and then went to the Marquis Mansion of Yangxin.

The carriage was driving in the alley, and a carriage came from the other side of the alley far away. The carriage was driving fast, and the sound of horseshoes echoing in the alley was very ear-piercing.

"Father, I didn't go anywhere today, next time you are talking to Father, and then take me out of the palace to play, okay." Jing Yuan tugged at Qian Yanzhi's sleeve, begging.

Qian Yanzhi smiled and said: "Okay, but you have to do your homework well, and let your father know that you have made progress at a glance. If I say it, he will definitely agree."

Jing Yuan smiled and leaned against Qian Yanzhi, listening to the carriage passing by, Qian Yanzhi subconsciously opened the curtain and glanced at the passing carriage, and the lantern hanging on the carriage seemed to read Zhen.

How many households with the surname Zhen are there in the capital?

Qian Yanzhi didn't know why, and didn't take this matter to heart, but just let the carriage drive to Yangxinhou's mansion.

When Qian Yanzhi and the others arrived, the imperial physician of the imperial hospital was diagnosing Li Chengye's pulse and prescribing medicine. Seeing Qian Yanzhi and the others coming, he immediately stood up to greet him.

Jing Yuan bowed to Yang Xinhou and said: "The imperial doctor is checking the pulse of Lord Hou, but is Lord Hou's illness serious again?"

Li Chengye stared at Jing Yuan, and shook his head gently with a smile: "No, it's just that the body is very tired after the winter, let the imperial doctor give a few injections to lift your spirits, your highness don't have to worry."

After speaking, his eyes fell on Qian Yanzhi, and he said again:

"Isn't Ah Yan investigating the case? How about it? Can you find out?"

Qian Yanzhi smiled and said: "It is thanks to Lord Hou's testimony that I caught the murderer who assassinated Fang Shaoqing. Although the process of catching the murderer was a bit dangerous, but fortunately I caught it and even found out the truth, so I came here today Thank you Lord Hou for your help."

"I'm also here to thank Lord Hou," Jing Yuan said.

Li Chengye nodded and smiled, at this time the imperial physician who had prescribed the prescription interrupted their conversation and said:

"Although Hou Ye's illness cannot be cured, it can still be cured, especially in winter, and you need to be more careful. Today's prescription is mainly warming and tonic. As long as Hou Ye is not cold, everything will be fine. "

After Li Chengye bowed to him, he sent the steward to send the imperial physician to him, and brought the medicine back along the way.

Afterwards, there were only a few of them left in the main hall, and it was extremely quiet.

After Li Chengye was supported by the attendant and sat down, he looked at Qian Yanzhi and said, "I heard that the murderous assassin still wants to attack you, Ah Yan?"

Qian Yanzhi said: "That's true, but because I set up a trap to lure the snake out of the hole, I'm not afraid. Fortunately, there are people ambushing around, so this will not be life-threatening."

It was deployed in advance, and two resurrection armors were used.

[Ding——Trigger hidden mission: Stop, reward points [-]]

As soon as the hidden mission came out, Qian Yanzhi was surprised.

Under what circumstances would the hidden mission be triggered? Could it be that something would happen in Yangxinhou's Mansion?

Qian Yanzhi couldn't guess, so he could only write down the hidden mission, and then talked to Li Chengye about what happened last night as if nothing had happened.

Li Chengye heard the thrilling way of luring the snake out of the hole, the cruelty in his eyes flashed, and he hid it very well.

That Chen Xuan dared to make up his own mind and made a move on Qian Yanzhi, so he couldn't be kept.

Li Chengye made a calculation in his heart, and then said: "Fortunately, this case has been clarified. The assassin and He Shaoqing have also been imprisoned. Now we just wait for His Majesty's order to deal with it."

Qian Yanzhi complied, and then remembered that he hurriedly asked people to remove all the things on the carriage and put them in the main hall for storage.

Li Chengye was a little puzzled, Qian Yanzhi said:

"Today, apart from thanking Lord Hou for providing clues yesterday, I also followed His Majesty's order to bring Jing Yuan to thank Lord Hou for his care over the past few years."

As he spoke, Jing Yuan got up and stood in the main hall, and bowed respectfully to Li Chengye: "Your Majesty is concerned about Jing Yuan's studies, and every time he sends you an isolated copybook, as well as some masterpieces of sages, which Jing Yuan remembers in his heart. Heart, never forget."

Li Chengye stared at Jing Yuan's earnest speech, the gentleness in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and even tears welled up in his eyes, but he hid them well so that no one would notice his mood, just looked at Jing Yuan with a smile, and then Opened the mouth and said:

"I'm older than Jing Yuan, so I should take care of you. I only hope that you can learn a lot of knowledge and be a useful person. It's not in vain... all my hard work."

Jing Yuan listened and bowed to him again.

Qian Yanzhi was also very moved. Huo Zheng and Li Chengye are Jing Yuan's closest relatives, one with half father and one with half mother.

Based on his brother's instinct, Li Chengye treated Jing Yuan very well, but he couldn't recognize each other.
