Chapter 100
Li Xunchuan rode his horse back to the mansion, Xiyu took his cloak, and seeing Li Xunchuan's sad face, he knew that his conversation with Yanzhi was not going well, so he didn't dare to speak or ask, and followed them to the backyard.

Zhuo Ran just went to the Imperial College, she met Liu Yulin, said a few words for no reason, then went back to the Governor's Mansion with Chang Yinyu and waited for Li Yuchuan to come back.Chang Yinyu grabbed Wu Song's braid, and the two mingled together in front of Zhuo Ran. Zhuo Ran had something on his mind and didn't care too much. When he turned his head, he saw Li Xunchuan striding in.

"Chi Yue." Zhuo Ran got up immediately, and Li Yanchuan stepped forward to hold her hand, and said softly, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head and said, "No, I also just came back from the Imperial College."

Wu Song was caught by Chang Yinyu's neck, twisted into a twist, and placed in front of Li Yuchuan. He suppressed a sigh and said, "Get out if you play again!"

Chang Yinyu let go of his hand, and looked at Zhuo Ran together with Wu Song.

Zhuo Ran pulled Li Yanchuan to sit down, and said softly, "How are you talking with Yanzhi?"

Li Xunchuan lowered his eyes and shook his head, Zhuo Ran pinched his shoulders and said: "I also just found out that Master and Uncle Zhou are both in the palace, and His Majesty's purpose is obvious. Chi Yue, I want to enter the palace."

"No." Li Yanchuan almost blurted out. He shook his head and said, "Xiaqiu, this matter cannot be rushed. If His Majesty doesn't implicate you, it means they won't have any problems. You go into the palace now, I'm afraid..."

Zhuo Ran straightened Li Yanchuan's wrinkled clothes, and said softly: "Of course I know what the worst outcome will be if I am impulsive, but I won't mention it, His Majesty will not insist on linking me with them. Gong, I just want to meet the Celestial Master."

"Tian Wuruo?" Li Yuchuan frowned, and said, "Seeing him is the same as when you entered the palace and personally asked His Majesty about their whereabouts. Xiaqiu, don't worry about it, just stay here and let the rest go. Take one step at a time."

However, Zhuo Ran let go of Li Yanchuan's hand, her eyes turned slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Time is running out. Chi Yue, just now at the Imperial College, told me about Yi Dong's chief envoy Huo Jie who met the Holy Majesty yesterday and said With the matter of Yidong Mutual Market, the Yan family's business route has collapsed around Ruoshui Bay."

"What?" Li Yanchuan frowned, and said, "Why did you report the collapse of the business route to Gaodu? Is there no one in Yidong to solve it?"

Zhuo Ran shook his head and said, "Feng Cheng doesn't have much chance to keep an eye on the trade routes, after all, he wants to take care of the overall situation. Besides, there are quite a few people doing business in Yi Dong. This time Huo Jie reported that the bandits pursued by General Peng were mentioned. It is said that a batch of official bank was found, which is exactly the same as the batch at Fang Hu's house."

"What a coincidence?" Li Yanchuan said with his hands behind his back, "General Peng was chasing westward, how could Yi Dong have..."

Two groups of people are accomplices.

His eyes lit up, Zhuo Ran had thought of this a long time ago, and found that Li Yuchuan's eyes were not surprised, she just sighed and said, "It's too confusing."

Li Xunchuan pondered for a moment, he hadn't seen Huo Jie when he went to court yesterday, presumably the situation was urgent and he couldn't wait to go to court to discuss again, but Chu Shiyu didn't summon anyone, presumably he had already taken action.At this time, Han Congzhong and Zhou Yu had no news, so it could be seen that Chu Shiyu was out of order, and Yan Yingzhen and Xu Zheng didn't say anything, so they can just say so.

Zhuo Ran's purpose was too obvious.Even though Tian Wuruo hadn't met Zhuo Ran a few times, because of Fu Sisi, they would be immediately connected to everything when they met.In fact, no one would be so idle, staring at Zhuo Ran all the time, but Li Yuchuan didn't dare to bet, there were many people like Li Chengru in the deep palace.If his thoughts are true, then Zhuo Ran's departure is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

He also knew that Zhuo Ran had always been in contact with Yan Qingyao, but he hadn't figured out Yan Qingyao, so he didn't trust anyone.Li Xunchuan used to not be so constrained in doing things, but now with Zhuo Ran, he can't make mistakes in every step.

Li Xunchuan said: "Xiaqiu, I'm going to see you. If you go to the embroidery workshop now, Wen Rongxi and Yan Chengxuan must think of a way. We'll discuss it in detail when we come back tonight."

Zhuo Ran looked into Li Yuchuan's eyes and said, "Okay."

Xu Zheng's fingertips were stained with tea, and his hands turned and turned on the table. The water stains were mottled, and the sunlight disappeared for a moment.

Huo Jie knelt upright in front of the hall, he didn't dare to look up, but just honestly talked about what he reported to Chu Shiyu.Originally, after he had finished delivering the message, he only had to come up with a solution and go back to the order to do so. Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not summon all the ministers to discuss the countermeasures, but ordered people to serve him with delicious food and drink.

He really lived in torment in just a few hours, and he didn't know how to solve this matter. Finally, someone rescued him, but this didn't seem to be called rescue.

Xu Zheng only responded with silence to everything he said, or with a drawn-out "um". Although he didn't know what the right minister meant, he could only ask and answer like this at this moment. He had a hunch that these things were all not simple.

"You just said that the official bank was found in Yidong." It took Xu Zheng a long time to ask this sentence. After the poison, his body was not as good as before, and he had to breathe for a while when he spoke, but he didn't Affect his deterrence.

Huo Jie secretly raised his head and glanced at Xu Zheng. The right-hand man's face was pale but calm, so he naturally didn't dare to tell lies.

Xu Zheng moved his eyes to the flowers and plants in the courtyard, he was silent for a while, and said: "Let's not talk about the reason why the new official bank has flowed out before it was popularized in Gaodu, let me ask you, send it to the north Who escorted the military pay in Lihe and the border."

"Returning to the right minister, the military pay is escorted from Gaodu by the forbidden army. After reaching the ancient tea-horse road, the soldiers will be divided into two groups by Lord Wang Cheng, and handed over to the leaders of the two armies to complete the handover." Huo Jie He bowed his head and said.

"Wang Cheng?" Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, and he had an impression of this person.Emperor Chongwen came to the throne, and Wang Cheng, as the eldest son of one of the prestigious families in the six major cities, specially entered the capital to serve the emperor. a general judgment.

Wang Cheng didn't have much contact with him, just the few sides in the court hall.In these years, all the things under Wang Cheng's hands have basically been handled beautifully, with few mistakes, and the court is mostly talking about it.However, this time he did not find out about the official bank in time, and it would be too late to do anything until now.The so-called misfortunes never come singly, Xu Zheng was worried not only about the official bank that flowed out, but also the batch of military salaries sent to the border and Beili. If something really happened, Dayu's interior would really be hollowed out.

Huo Jie was not incompetent either, he could guess what Prime Minister Right was thinking from the things Xu Zheng asked.He lowered his body even lower, and said: "Your Prime Minister, don't worry, Mr. Wang Cheng has a sense of proportion. The matter of military pay is of great importance, and he will definitely pay more attention to it."

"It's too late now." Xu Zheng closed the teacup, narrowed his eyes, and said, "If he is as cautious as before, why did this happen? Your Majesty summoned you, but what else did you say?"

"Your Majesty..." Huo Jie raised his head slightly, and there were only the two of them in the courtroom. He simply broke his heart and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to say to your right minister."

Xu Zheng rubbed his fingertips on the table and said, "Since you have something to say, let's sit down and talk."

***
Yan Chengxuan sat on the wicker chair and did not speak, squinting at Wen Rongxi from time to time.The latter buried his head in slowly sorting out his things, and gave important matters to Lao Wang.

"Second Young Master is also busy on weekdays. During my absence, you need to make up your own mind on many things." Wen Rongxi said with a smile: "Old Wang, in fact, according to etiquette, I should call you Uncle Wang. Fang, I will trouble you to take care of it."

The fifth child hurriedly returned the gift, but was stopped by Wen Rongxi. He sighed and said, "Mr. Wen really screwed me up, I was just a striker, it's not that..."

Wen Rongxi shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, the second young master doesn't care about the embroidery workshop, you can go to Mr. directly. If the second young master insists on intervening in the embroidery workshop, I hope Uncle Wang will stop it. This time, the Yidong business road If there is a difference, His Majesty also hopes that it can be resolved as soon as possible, and I will keep in touch with Mr. Wang Shuhe."

The fifth child nodded heavily, and said, "I've made a note. When is Mr. Wen planning to leave?"

Yan Chengxuan was still sulking at first, but when he heard this, he immediately perked up his ears. He moved closer to the two of them, only to hear Wen Rongxi smile slightly and say, "Just the day after tomorrow."

"So urgent?" Lao Wang frowned, and said, "The accompanying people have been arranged? Are the luggage ready? And..."

"Uncle Wang." Wen Rongxi pulled the lapel of Lao Wang's clothes, but his eyes shifted to Yan Chengxuan little by little, and he said, "I've got someone to take care of it, and I'll talk to you sir. Second Young Master, come with me." Let's go back home."

Only then did Yan Chengxuan look at Wen Rongxi, he rubbed two handfuls of brocade robes vigorously, and took a big stride to leave the embroidery workshop, but before he could step out, he was startled by Zhuo Ran at the door.

"Xiaqiu?" Yan Chengxuan took a step back and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhuo Ran saluted, glanced into the hall, and said in a low voice: "It was agreed that day to discuss something with Mr. Wen, if it's inconvenient, I'll come back another day."

"Zhuo Siye stay here." Wen Rongxi came out from the counter, straightened his long sleeves, nodded slightly to Zhuo Ran, and said, "Please enter the inner hall, there are some things that need to be discussed with Lord Siye in detail."

Yan Chengxuan glanced at Wen Rongxi, let out a "hum", lifted his robe and stepped out.Seeing this, Lao Wang chased after him, Luanying lifted the curtain and came out after hearing the movement, and made tea with great eyesight.

"Excuse me Zhuo Siye." Wen Rongxi said softly: "I think Zhuo Siye has heard about the problem of the Yidong business line. The owner of the Yan Family Embroidery Workshop occupies this line. I have to go to Yidong with Mr. Huo and agree with Zhuo Siye." Those things have to be done.”

Zhuo Ran smiled slightly, since Wen Rongxi said this, it must have been made by Chu Shiyu.She said: "Mr. Wen is serious. Since there are omissions in the Yan family's business line, it must be carefully resolved. It is not too late to postpone other matters."

Wen Rongxi nodded and said, "Thank you, Si Ye."

"It's just Mr. Wen," Zhuo Ran licked the corner of his lips, and said, "Xiaqiu has something to ask."

Wen Rongxi put his hands on his knees and said, "Zhuo Siye, but it's okay to say."

"Actually, Xiaqiu also heard that not only the business line of the Yan family, but also the official bankers of Fang Hu's family and the frequent assassins in Gaodu are all related to Yi Dong." Zhuo Ran casually looked at the change in Wen Rongxi's expression. Changing, said: "Young Master Wen, do you have any ideas?"

Wen Rongxi didn't look directly at Zhuo Ran, he looked down at the tea leaves floating on the water, and said: "Yan Shu dare not speak rashly about the affairs of the court. Zhuo Siye asked me what I thought, but Yan Shu could only say that the universe is uncertain and everything is uncertain." No picture."

A good one without a picture.

Zhuo Ran smiled slightly, and said: "It's because Xiaqiu didn't think carefully. Then let's go and hope that Young Master will come back soon. Maybe Xiaqiu will be self-taught by then, so Young Master Wen won't have to worry about it."

"Zhuo Siye is extremely intelligent, Yan Shu is waiting for Master Si Ye to teach himself." Wen Rongxi also smiled.

Wen Rongxi is going to Yidong, so Chu Shiyu will definitely send someone to accompany him, and he needs to keep an eye on the actions of the Yan family all the time, after all, the Yan family's business can be counted as Dayu's important business line.But who will be sent to follow?So far, why did Chu Shiyu hold Han Congzhong and Zhou Yu together?Zhuo Ran sighed deeply, she looked up at the sky, not knowing what was going on with Li Yanchuan.

Since Chu Shiyu already had a solution, he didn't tell the right minister.He said it was for the right minister's health, but his decision ignored many people, including courtiers who were loyal to him.Zhuo Ran couldn't figure out Chu Shiyu's intentions.But the most important thing right now are Master and Uncle Zhou.

As soon as Luo Ling finished sorting out his confession, he heard Zhuo Ran come.She went out to greet her in person, Zhuo Ran seemed a little anxious, she didn't dare to say anything, she just said: "Lord Si Ye, the jailer has entered the palace."

"Sister Fu, can you tell me when she will come back?" Zhuo Ran saw that it was getting late, and Fu Sisi and Li Yanchuan hadn't come back at this time, so she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Luo Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know about humble positions."

Zhuo Ran clenched her lower lip and said, "Thank you, Luo Ling, if Sister Fu is back, please send me a message."

Luo Ling didn't keep anyone, nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "The humble job is written down."

As soon as Zhuo Ran left the imperial prison, she saw the maid running towards her in a hurry.Zhuo Ran couldn't hide her smile, and for a moment thought it was Li Xunchuan who was looking for her, but then she thought something was wrong, if Li Xunchuan was looking for her, it should be Ruofei.

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Ran waited patiently for the maid to finish her breath, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The maid wiped away her tears and said urgently: "My lord, Guard Chang is dying, you go and save him!"

"What?" Zhuo Ran's pupils shrank suddenly, she had no time to think, and rushed all the way to the house.

The maid was talking and laughing with Chang Yinyu at first, but suddenly Chang Yinyu vomited blood, and then fell into a coma, and they found the doctor, but they all just shook their heads.They were so frightened that they could only come out to look for Zhuo Ran.

Zhuo Ran has always suspected that Chang Yinyu's injury is not healed. Li Yanchuan didn't know whether he was deliberately hiding it from her or even he didn't know about Chang Yinyu's situation. Zhuo Ran only felt afraid for a while when he was in this state.

The third doctor had a gloomy face after taking the pulse, Zhuo Ran frowned and said, "Doctor, what's wrong with him."

The doctor bowed to Zhuo Ran and said: "If you go back to Siye, this young master has been poisoned, but the poison is very strange. I have never seen it in my life, so I don't know how to treat it."

"Then when will he wake up?" Zhuo Ran was probably going crazy, she raised her hand to support the edge of the table, sighed a long time, and said, "Doctor, there is any way to save him."

"Then..." The doctor leaned down and said, "I will try my best."
