Capt. Lin brought a pen and paper to Xu Wenlan and told her not to be impatient and to draw slowly.

It turns out that Capt. Lin was worried about Xu Wenlan, fearing that the portrait she drew was unrealistic, but when he saw her strokes start to draw, Capt. Lin felt relieved.

"She must have learned it."

Xingyi nodded, "I saw her painting in the academy, she was very good."

It's just a pity that she didn't find a good father. Otherwise, with her ability, she would have stood out in the selection of the Ministry of Commerce and embarked on an official career.

Soon Xu Wenlan finished the painting, and Captain Lin took a look at it and let out a sigh.

"I know this guy."

Lin Captou quickly caught the person based on the portrait, and this person was the guardian of the Minister of Household Affairs. This matter must have something to do with the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, but this man said that he did it alone and had nothing to do with his master.

Because this person took over all the crimes, Jingzhao Mansion was unable to do anything even with the Minister of Household Affairs.

In the court hall, Liu Yunxiang rarely went to court.

She stood on the Nine Dragons steps, looking down at the civil and military officials.

"It is understandable for me that you oppose the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce. After all, the ancestral system cannot be easily changed, but you are really hateful. You know that nearly 80% of the taxes collected by the national treasury in recent years come from the commercial economy, and for farmers to recuperate and recuperate , have been reducing taxes on grain and using business to support agriculture. This is the current situation of our government. As for you, you know this better than ordinary people. Even your salary and annual rewards all come from business taxes."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the officials below angrily, "Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. Scholars are all of you. You are at the highest level but enjoy the support of the lowest level. Aren't you ashamed?"

As he said this, all the civil and military officials were a little embarrassed.

"You have all heard about the business school, or are you also involved, trying to muddy the waters and prevent the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce? Humph, but those are two lives. Regardless of what happens to the Ministry of Commerce, the murderer must life for a life!"

After Liu Yunxiang said this, he sat back and said no more. After all, this is a court, with an emperor and a regent, so she cannot overstep her authority.

"Zhang Zuo!" Yan Mu shouted.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance stood up and wanted to settle the account with him. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I ask you, is the murderer your servant?"

"Yes, but Wei Chen really doesn't know what he did. Please ask the regent to investigate."

"I don't know?" Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Why did he kill those two female students? How does the business school have anything to do with him?"

"Wei Chen doesn't know, I really don't know."

"The Jingzhao Mansion is still investigating, and sooner or later the truth will definitely be found out. But Zhang Zuo, you colluded with Li Chang, the academic administrator of the business school, to disrupt the normal operation of the school. Li Chang has admitted it."

Zhang Zuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, obviously not expecting Li Chang to confess him so quickly.

Yan Mu looked at all the ministers in the court again, "I don't want to dig deeper into this matter, but since Zhang Shangshu said that he was wronged, we can only continue to investigate. Who will investigate when the time comes? Don't blame me." When the ministers heard this, many of them panicked.

After going to court, Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang to the harem. Qin Yan followed behind, quite helpless.

"You shouldn't have stopped me, just took off Zhang Zuo's black gauze hat." Yan Mu said.

"You can only arrest someone if you have evidence. You can't act recklessly."

"It's obviously him, huh, this bitch actually wants to destroy your hard work, it's unforgivable!"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "What you said is somewhat filled with personal anger."

"If it were a state matter, I wouldn't bother to get angry with him, but if it involves you, he deserves to die!"

The two started chatting with each other as they talked, and Qin Yan couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

"You two only have eyes for each other, right? You don't see me?"

When the two of them turned around and saw Qin Yan, they were both a little surprised.

"Hey, haven't you returned to the palace long ago?"

"Yeah, I thought you went to the study."

Qin Yan snorted, "I'm obviously delayed because of something. I'm just one step behind you. Who would have thought that after following you for a long time, no one noticed me."

Yan Mu smiled dryly and turned around to hug his son, "You'll know when you get your wife. A good man can't have anyone else in his eyes."

"I'm still young." Qin Yan blushed.

"You're not young anymore, it's time to get engaged. I think Lao Wei's daughter is pretty good, but she seems to look down on you."

Qin Yan said angrily: "Can you harm your son like this? Besides, she doesn't look down on me, but... she just doesn't know me well enough."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunxiang felt hopeful, "Then I will ask Xingyi to bring Wei Shuchang to the palace to play in the future. Do you understand?"

"What do you two mean? Why are you urging me to get married?"

"When you get married, we can leave the palace and have a good time..."

Yan Mu accidentally spilled the beans, making Qin Yanlai's face turn green with anger.

"I don't agree! You have to stay in Shengjing!" (End of Chapter)
