Yan Cigui.

In the end, An Yibo's charges were completely covered.

He had too much contact with Li Mi, collected money for Li Mi, and tried to make Li Mi come back.

Xu Jian has a lot of opinions on this case.

He once mentioned in a letter that Uncle An Yi might not even know whether Li Mi was alive or dead, or where he was.

Of course, this booklet was returned.

But the old Uncle An Yi couldn't stand the interrogation time and time again, so he hit the wall and died in prison.

Li Mi's whereabouts, there is no way to ask.

The origin of the two gold bricks was also broken.

But the turmoil caused by this matter did not disappear, on the contrary, it became bigger and bigger, and finally affected Chengyi Bo's Mansion and Xu Jian.

Xu Jian supervised the confiscation of An Yibo's mansion, which was not good, so he fined his salary and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors.

An Yibo's in-law Dingbeihou was implicated, and two gold bricks with traces were also found in the Hou's mansion.

The Chengyibo Mansion is adjacent to the Dingbeihou Mansion, and the crimes of "failing to report the knowledge" and "hiding evil intentions" are all deducted.

At that point, no one is stupid. Naturally, they know that in the struggle for imperial power, Luo Zhi's crimes are not the point, they are all victims.

The old accounts were turned over one by one, thanks to the good foundation of the Lin family, in the end, it was a "mercy" result, only all the family property was confiscated, Lin Yunyan, who was married, was also deprived of the title of Princess, and only the Fu Guogong was left identity of.

As for Fu Guogong himself, he was fined again and again soon...

In the next few years, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian have been trying to figure out the ins and outs of these gold bricks.

Does that trace really represent Li Mi?

Maybe it's just that the mold happened to have that flaw?

Where did Uncle An Yi start? Is there any relationship between the two pieces of Dingbei Hou Mansion and Uncle An Yi?
It was also during these investigations that Xu Jian accidentally inquired about the rumor that two boxes of gold bricks had been dug up in Honest Lane. At that time, seven or eight years had passed since the reconstruction of Honest Lane, and the two owners had already left the capital with their families.

And Xu Jian is no longer Fu Guogong, it is no longer convenient for him to transfer the household registration documents in the yamen, and there are other things involved at that time...

They really didn't expect that the gold bricks dug out by two humble businessmen actually had traces.

Even if she started all over again, Lin Yunyan thought of the gold bricks in Honesty Lane, and still classified them as "treasures", money that was not on the account, and did not classify them as the cause of many things in her previous life.

After all, how could a merchant's unexpected gains from building a house and doing business be associated with a commoner prince?
After returning the gold brick to Xu Jian, Lin Yunyan said, "I'm thinking about a problem now."

Xu Jian looked down at her.

He didn't urge or ask questions, he just expressed with his eyes that he was listening, waiting for Lin Yunyan to continue.

Lin Yunyan sorted out her thoughts, and said, "Who originally belonged to these two boxes of gold bricks? The two businessmen who came here for business in Honest Alley, their purpose is also gold bricks, right? Have the people behind them found out?"

Just as she was talking, she heard a light laugh.

Lin Yunyan raised her eyes and looked at the laughing person.

The four eyes met, and the smile in Xu Jian's eyes hadn't stopped yet. He commented slowly: "There are a lot of questions."

Lin Yunyan squinted at him.

She sorted out her thoughts with questions, but she didn't really want Xu Jian to give corresponding answers.

But Xu Jian made fun of what she just said, and Lin Yunyan said: "Then, please choose one to answer."

The word "one" is very important.

It fell into Xu Jian's ears, so he couldn't hear the meaning of gnashing of teeth, and knew that Lin Yunyan was very dissatisfied with his choice of words.

"The first one, I don't know; the second one, the answer is the same for the obvious thing." Xu Jian weighed the gold brick in his hand, "The third one is probably the British government. Chen will know exactly who it is when he comes back."

After this two or three, Lin Yunyan was neither angry nor angry, but the British government was quite surprised.

At the same time, Shen Chen hid in the corner and eavesdropped on the conversation of the two people separated by a wall.

This is a garden in the south of Jing. The four-season flower scene is good. The main family does not live there, and it is often open for the common people to enjoy the flowers.

The recent autumn wind is the season of chrysanthemums.

The chrysanthemums in the garden were only half in bloom, and there were not many people admiring them, especially in this area, where there were not many potted flowers, so no one came over.

The businessman Shen Chen was following was called Li Yuanfa, and the person he met with Li Yuanfa came from the other side. In order to hide his figure, Shen Chen didn't see the face of the opposite side.

"There's something wrong with that surnamed Gao!" Li Yuanfa muttered, "Send those two brothers to the government without further ado. Master, do you think he would know that there is something in the field?"

"Impossible, there is no leak at all! What's their situation now?"

Li Yuanfa replied: "They are going to dig it all up now, they say they have to reinforce it, and they started doing it yesterday."

"It's not unusual. That Jing Dabao has a good reputation in the Jiangnan business field. Honesty Lane is his first business after entering Beijing. He must want to do it well," another person said, "It's done, the Yamen Recognize his signboard, whether he is an official job or other jobs, the road will be smooth."

"But digging like this, sooner or later the thing will be dug out!" Li Yuanfa was anxious.

"I told you earlier, it's time to do it while they were cleaning up and messing up a while ago, hey! Let your bid be higher than Jing Dabao!"

Li Yuanfa didn't dare to answer.

With Jing Dabao's posture, one can see that he is bound to win.

Chen Gui, who was backed by Uncle Chengyi's mansion, went to talk to Jing Dabao, and finally gave up honestly, so it was not a matter of adding money.

To put it bluntly, what could be better for Jing Dabao to go to Beijing to play a sign than a messy Honest Alley?
It can be built directly without relocation, and the results can be seen immediately after it is built.

Faced with such a good job, even if Jing Dabao loses money, he still has to make money.

"Okay!" Another person said, "Time is running out, find a chance to try..."

The two discussed it and parted ways.

Shen Chen didn't talk to Li Yuan again, he came out from behind the wall without a sound, and followed the man from afar.

When he got to a place where there were a little more people appreciating flowers, Shen Chen stepped up and leaned against the crowd to cover him, and saw the person's true face nearby.

Zhu Cheng, the fourth master of the British government.

The goal was achieved, and Shen Chen hurried back to Taohezhai.

Xuan Su came to open the courtyard door for him.

When Shen Chen went in, he happened to see Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan sitting at the stone table with utensils on the table.

The Duke and the princess are playing chess?
Taking a closer look, Shen Chen knew that he was wrong.

The two chess baskets are at Xu Jian's hand, and it is still playing against himself.

The princess is reading a book.

Shen Chen asked Xuan Su in a low voice: "The way the Duke treats guests is not appropriate, is it?"

Even if you want to play chess, you should invite guests to join you. How can you play with yourself and leave the guests aside?

Thinking about what Jing Dong's family had been rambling about before returning to Jiangnan...

As long as the Jingdong family sees how the two masters in front of them are in charge of their own affairs, pretending that there is no such thing as the opposite, they will probably change their views.

Just as Xuan Su was about to answer, he heard a question from Xu Jian behind him, and he quickly motioned for Shen Chen to go over.

Shen Chen didn't dare to think about anything else, he saluted the two of them, and talked about what he had gained.

"Zhu Cheng?" Xu Jian shook his head slowly.

Just listening to the name, he didn't have a deep impression of this person.

Lin Yunyan took a breath and said, "He is Zhu Zhan's father."

And between Zhu Zhan and her father, if Lin Yunyan remembered correctly, there were many conflicts between them.
