Chapter 94
Li Xunchuan didn't leave the backyard, Yuanlu had already swaggered in, followed by a group of eunuchs, the formation was big enough.

The people in the Governor's Mansion, headed by Li Yanchuan, all knelt in the courtyard. Yuanlu knew that he could not neglect Li Yanchuan, so he hastily announced the order. In the past, Chu Shiyu wanted Li Yanchuan to enter the palace, and he could just pass a word, but now Yuanlu is required to personally Going into battle, Li Xunchuan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Before Qiuwei, he had said to Chu Shiyu that he would give a solution to deal with Zhuo Ran's matter, but now the solution has not been fully thought out, and the matter of Marquis Wu's family has been spread, what should he say when he enters the palace, Li Yuchuan Thinking about it in my heart.

"The minister obeys the order." Li Xunchuan kowtowed.

Yuan Lu leaned down and said, "Get up, Governor."

Li Xunchuan got up, and the people behind him didn't dare to move, so they could only lower their heads and listen to the next instruction.Li Xunchuan said: "It's hard work, sir."

"Our family is also doing things for His Majesty." Yuan Lu shook his head, leaned closer to Li Yuchuan, and said in a low voice: "Governor, the news about the boat painting last night has already entered the palace. Your Majesty is angry, so he will inevitably have to say a few words. Governor, don't talk to Your Majesty." Just be angry."

Li Xunchuan slightly curled the corners of his lips, and said, "My lord speaks seriously, and your majesty has nothing to do with your minister's mistakes."

Don't let Li Xunchuan care about Chu Shiyu's anger, this matter should be left to Chu Shiyu himself, Yuan Lu's words made Li Xunchuan take off his guard.Yuan Lu is young, and many things are learned and applied immediately, such as those off-topic remarks just now, which seem to be for the sake of both parties, but in fact they have already exposed themselves.

Who would wantonly speculate on people's minds, let alone Chu Shiyu, Li Xunchuan really didn't know what to say about him, naive or stupid?
"Your Excellency, follow our family." Yuan Lu backed away, and Li Yanchuan said "um" in a deep voice, and followed Yuan Lu.

Yuan Lu was still a new official, and he didn't dare to slack off on anything. He prepared the carriage early in the morning, fearing that something might go wrong when he brought Li Xunchuan into the palace, and several groups of people followed him to escort him.Seeing this posture, Li Xunchuan was amused, and others who didn't know it thought that he had made some great achievements and would be rewarded in the palace.

Li Xunchuan stepped into the carriage and got in. He turned his head to look at Yuanlu and said, "My lord, come in together."

Yuan Lu shook his head and said, "It's good for our family to follow the carriage."

"It's fine." Li Yanchuan gave way once, and he won't let it go a second time. He put down the curtain, shrank in the carriage and never refused.

"Let's go." Yuan Lu ordered in a low voice, and the carriage staggered away.

Li Xunchuan leaned against the wall of the car and went over the matter carefully.Zhuo Ran is now secretly investigating at Yan's house, but it's just the first day and it's definitely useless. If he wants to figure out the ins and outs, he will have to spend some more time.Chu Shiyu doesn't know if he still remembers what he mentioned. It's best if he forgets, and he can bring it up when the time is right. What should he say if he asks.

Now add the matter of Marquis Wu.Speaking of whether Wu Lianyi did such a thing has anything to do with him, it just happened to be exposed at his banquet, but what is the purpose of entertaining these people is another question.

Li Xunchuan’s ostentation last night wasn’t too big, but it wasn’t too small either. Most of the prominent figures in the six big cities went there. Although he didn’t know about them one by one, judging from the number of people who attended last night, not all the people in the six big cities were in the crowd. home camp.

The method that Wen Rongxi taught Yan Chengxuan didn't seem to be effective.The people from the Six Great Cities did not dare to follow him to throw Li Yanchuan out of Gaodu. In recent events, Li Yanchuan has taken the limelight. At this time, if you do something that harms others and benefits yourself, isn't it just asking for trouble?

Li Xunchuan smiled, and suddenly knew what these people were thinking.

Chu Shiyu had been waiting in the pilgrimage hall for a long time, Li Xunchuan was led in by Yuan Lu, and saw Wuhou and Wu Lianyi kneeling in front of the hall.He glanced at the two of them, bowed down and said, "I see Your Majesty."

"Get up." Chu Shiyu raised his hand, squeezed the lid of the teacup and put it on the table. He looked at Li Yuchuan and said, "Gentlemen, please give me a seat."

Li Xunchuan was not in a hurry, he blocked the attendant from refilling the tea, turned the empty teacup and waited for Chu Shiyu to speak.The atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down, Li Yanchuan looked at Wu Lianyi, he was indeed the same as yesterday, he didn't care, but Wuhou looked extremely flustered.

He should have panicked.He chose the wrong time, the wrong place, and the wrong partner. Li Xunchuan was only thinking about Zhuo Ran's affairs, and didn't want to get entangled with them, so he simply waited for Chu Shiyu to speak.

"I didn't ask you to come here to understand the truth," Chu Shiyu flipped the memorial in front of him, and said, "Wu Lianyi, you are the son of the Wu family, and you should not do such things that harm the family due to emotion and reason. I know these years You are really inferior to being an official, and I have nothing to do if you don't want to make progress."

"I know I was wrong." Wu Lianyi raised his head and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Chu Shiyu raised the corners of his lips and said, "You are not afraid of death. Officials who commit prostitution, according to the laws of Dayu, you know the consequences yourself. Wu Lianyi, I wanted to excuse you, but this book does not allow me to do so Do."

The impeachment document was presented in front of the imperial court early in the morning, and the Yushitai was not even touched. Chu Shiyu managed to sleep all night, and the next morning he was so startled that he almost lost his position.

Li Xunchuan glanced at Chu Shiyu, and then looked at Wu Lianyi's expression. He also looked at Chu Shiyu calmly, looking at Chu Shiyu, and didn't say, "Your Majesty, please see that my father is Marquis Wu" or " I have no choice but to say something like that, which clearly shows that I don't want to pay attention to these things.

"Your Majesty." Wu Yue said with a trembling voice, "I have no way to teach my son, I hope your Majesty will deal with it fairly, and I will never complain."

Chu Shiyu's forehead jumped.

Li Xunchuan laughed in a low voice, and said: "Marquis Wu is really setting an example, killing relatives righteously, Wu Lianyi is the son of Lord Marquis, are you really willing?"

"He violated the law and provoked Holy Wrath, so he must bear the responsibility!" Wu Yue straightened his mind and said, "If Shezi keeps Dayu's laws strict and fair, I am willing to bear the infamy!"

Chu Shiyu clenched his fingers tightly, but he heard Li Xunchuan continue to say: "Marquis Wu's words are wrong. Dare I ask what kind of law has Mr. Wu violated? The redemption deed for the top brand rouge in Huanyan Pavilion is there, and the eldest son took it out. That woman Qian belongs to him, and outsiders don't know why, so why is there a crime of whoring in the memorial? Besides, what does the matter of mutual affection have to do with status and status? If the eldest son likes it, he likes it. Move your whole body and stick to that rigid and pedantic idea.”

"You!" Wu Yue raised his head and shouted.

"Marquis Wu, don't get angry." Li Yuchuan smiled and said, "Although I don't understand these things, I feel wronged for the eldest son. When it comes to the lintel, Yan Zhi's wealth and life are all in the hands of the eldest son You can know if your family background is clean or not, so why should Lord Hou be so angry. In fact, it is nothing to disturb the banquet, you should pay more attention to the eldest son."

Wu Yue thought that Li Yuchuan was a man who could talk last night, but at this moment he really seemed to be blind.He snorted softly and said, "What do you know?"

Li Xunchuan laughed, and said: "I really don't know anything, Marquis Wu also knows that I am alone, and my master and brother-in-law are far away in Beili, so there are many things that need to be pointed out by the Marquis."

"What a sharp mouth." Wu Yue said in a low voice.

Wu Lianyi bowed to Li Yanchuan, and said softly: "Thank you, Governor, but I did make mistakes in these matters, and His Majesty should be punished."

Chu Shiyu clicked on the edge of the table, Li Yanchuan's words were not just nonsense, Wu Lianyi's matter was as he said, it was not as bad as what was written in the memorial, and only the people in Li Yanchuan's painting boat knew what happened last night, and these memorials were all the same , They all impeached the son of Marquis Wu.After all, the news should have been passed on for a few days before being played, but in just a few hours, there were piles of memorials, and it seemed that someone was indeed fabricating it behind the scenes.

The left and right ministers talked about this with Chu Shiyu this morning, but they didn't mention the redemption deed that Li Xunchuan said. It happened that Wu Yue took it with him, and Yuan Lu took it and presented it to Chu Shiyu.

The redemption deed was true, and the handwriting matched Wu Lianyi's, so Chu Shiyu put aside the redemption deed and said, "I knew this matter would not be that simple, and all major and minor matters in Gaodu would end with no clue. Yue, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Xunchuan said: "Going back to Your Majesty, it is better to hand over the eldest son to the minister, the minister has a way to explain these things."

Chu Shiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Say."

"To put it bluntly, the eldest son may spend more time in the household department than at home. It is normal for Lord Hou to not know much about the eldest son." Li Yanchuan thought for a while and said, "It's better for the eldest son to be here recently. Stay at the household department first, Master Wei will arrange it when he thinks about it. But for these rumors, the eldest son must come in person."

Chu Shiyu lowered his head and smiled, and said, "You and Prime Minister Right have thought of one place. Just now he told me that there is a way to make Wu Lianyi Mingmei marry Yanzhi."

"No!" Wu Yue sternly refused, saying, "It's absolutely impossible, Your Majesty! I think..."

"Marquis Wu," Chu Shiyu raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said, "Don't worry, I have my own things to think about. Wu Lianyi is the son of the Wu family, so he can't be a servant like this. It's bad for the Wu family. There is no benefit. It is better to marry Rouge and raise the official position."

Wu Lianyi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of being an official."

"Bullshit!" Li Yuchuan said softly, "If you like someone else's girl, don't refuse. Your Majesty's way is naturally the best. Marquis Wu, the eldest son's lifelong affairs must be put on the agenda, and besides, the rouge has the eldest son. My child, Master Hou won’t let people in? It’s not fair to other girls, isn’t it?”

Wu Yue clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he really wanted to punch Li Xunchuan in the face. If his father was still alive, he would be able to beat Li Xunchuan until he couldn't remember his last name.

Chu Shiyu sighed, and said, "Marquis Wu, I know you don't want to, but my orders will never be changed overnight. Yuan Lu, declare the decree."

Wu Yue raised his head.

Li Xunchuan bowed his head silently, secretly rejoicing that Chu Shiyu hadn't thought about Zhuo Ran.Before Li Xunchuan came, Chu Shiyu had already drawn up the imperial decree, Yuanlu was reading it, and Wuhou was staring at Li Xunchuan.

Wu Lianyi really didn't understand what Li Xunchuan was doing, so what if he was allowed to stay in the household department, could it be that he has some supernatural ability to really find out these things.

***
Zhuo Ran walked around the embroidery workshop with Wen Rongxi. She had only seen the drawings of the embroidery workshop in Yongzhou before, but she hadn't really seen it. This time it really opened her eyes.

Both Wen Rongxi and Zhuo Ran didn't like to talk, except for necessary questions and answers, they basically had no communication.Wen Rongxi turned around and said softly, "Zhuo Siye, this is the work procedure of the embroidery workshop. In addition to these, Yan's embroidery workshop also has a dyeing workshop in the backyard."

Zhuo Ran didn't dare to touch the woven brocades, she raised her eyes and said, "The dyeing of these brocades must have been done in the backyard."

"The dyeing workshop was only established in the past year." Wen Rongxi walked forward slowly, he lifted the curtain to let Zhuo Ran go first, the beaded curtain jingled across the white robe, Zhuo Ran nodded slightly, and stepped into the backyard.

The backyard is bigger, and several wooden racks are placed in the atrium, on which the newly dyed cloth is hung to dry.Wen Rongxi signaled Zhuo Ran to walk down the side path, and said, "Zhuo Siye, the dyeing workshop is just an auxiliary, and all the important things are on the embroidery in front."

"Auxiliary is also important." Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "If the embroidery workshop wants to produce new cloth, it is natural to draw up a pattern first, and then do a real test to ensure the quality of each batch of brocade."

Wen Rongxi nodded and said, "Zhuo Siye is smart."

He brought Zhuo Ran to the wing room in the front hall, Luan Ying brought tea in, and Wen Rongxi handed her the new embroidery sample and said, "Old Wang got this from another embroidery shop, you can take a look at it in the next few days." This one."

"Yes, Mr. Wen." Luanying looked at the pattern, frowned and said, "My lord, this pattern is the one you gave me before."

Wen Rongxi seemed to have just realized it, and said, "Oh, I took it wrong."

Luanying looked at Wen Rongxi a little strangely, he was always cautious and careful in doing things, and if he gave the wrong blueprint, he would definitely not be able to do it.He seems to have been very strange these few days. He used to be able to smile at each other, but now he always looks like a stranger.

"Go down first." Wen Rongxi said, "I'll give it to you later."

Luan Ying leaned over slightly and said, "Yes, my lord."

Zhuo Ran took a few steps back and said, "Young Master Wen, do you have other matters? If you are in a hurry, I will leave first."

Wen Rongxi turned around and said, "Si Ye forgive me, Yan Shu's body has been a little inappropriate these past few days, I'll talk to Si Ye about the details tomorrow."

"Embroidery shop's business road is complicated, but the accounting records should be safe. I don't know if Mr. Wen can borrow the account books from Xiaqiu." Zhuo Ran said: "I will talk to Mr. Wen tomorrow, and Xiaqiu can follow up as soon as possible." What Mr. Wen thinks."

"Of course." Wen Rongxi nodded and said, "Lord Si Ye will follow me."

He and Lao Wang had just sorted out the account books, and the accounts of the past three years were the most complete. He gave the copy to Zhuo Ran.It was originally a secret, although Zhuo Ran didn't often settle accounts, but he still understood these principles, Wen Rongxi sent him to Zhuo Ran's residence, and then sent him out of the embroidery workshop.
