Chapter 870 Ledger
Just as he was talking, the porter came over and told: "My lord, Master Yan is asking to see you."

"Please come in quickly." Prime Minister Zuo was slightly surprised, what was Yan Qinghe doing here at this time?

Prime Minister Zuo waved his hands to let his son and daughter-in-law back down.

When Yan Qinghe came over, Prime Minister Zuo asked the servant girl to pour another cup of tea.

"Lord Prime Minister Zuo." Yan Qinghe called out.

Prime Minister Zuo made a gesture of asking to sit down, and asked curiously, "Master Yan, what's the matter?"

Yan Qinghe is a person, he doesn't think he understands him very well, but he also understands his temperament, and he will never come to the door in person if there is no serious matter. Similarly, when he comes to the door, there must be something important.

Yan Qinghe glanced at Su Ming, who quickly took out a black box and put it on the table in front of Prime Minister Zuo.

"This is?" Zuo Xiang didn't rush to get it, but looked at Yan Qinghe with doubtful eyes.

Yan Qinghe smiled and said, "Master Zuo might as well open it up and have a look?"

Zuo Xiang looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

The black box wasn't locked, so after Prime Minister Zuo took it, he could just open the lock.

After opening it, there was a ledger lying quietly inside.

Prime Minister Zuo raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qinghe suspiciously. Seeing that his expression was still calm, he picked up the ledger and opened it.

At the beginning, he regarded it as an ordinary account book, but the more he looked back, the more shocking he felt.

It scatteredly records the time and amount of each bribe, which is even worse than the Chen Yi case back then.

The left minister slowly put down the ledger, and looked at Yan Qinghe in shock: "Where did you get the ledger?"

"My lord, do you still remember the Chen Yi case?" Yan Qinghe asked instead of answering his question.

Zuo Xiang was also a thoughtful person, seeing what he said, he said, "Is this ledger related to the Chen Yi case?"

Yan Qinghe nodded: "This is the evidence that Mr. Chen hid back then. It was originally intended to expose the criminal responsibility of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to His Majesty, but he bit back. This evidence has only been rediscovered today."

Zuo Xiang stared at him, and sighed: "It's so, I don't know if there is evidence?"

"This is the evidence." Yan Qinghe looked at Chen Ci who was at the side.

Zuo Xiang followed his gaze. Before that, his mind was all on Yan Qinghe, but he didn't notice the young man next to him.

Looking at it, he suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he searched his mind, but he couldn't find where he had seen the other party.

Seeing the doubt in Zuo Xiang's eyes, Yan Qinghe reminded: "Master Zuo Xiang, this is Chen Yi, the youngest son of Mr. Chen..."

"Chen Ci?" Zuo Xiang was a little confused.

Wait, when did Chen Yi have a son?
Isn't there only the eldest son and the youngest daughter?
Where did this little boy come from?

Zuo Xiang looked at Chen Ci in confusion: "Are you Master Chen's youngest son?"

Chen Ci nodded.

"Why haven't I heard that he has a young son?" Zuo Xiang didn't believe it.

Chen Ci glanced at Yan Qinghe, saw him nodding, and told him about his life experience.

Prime Minister Zuo didn't expect such a twists and turns, stroked his beard and said, "Thanks to the Taoist priest, you escaped unharmed."

When Chen Ci thought of this, he also sighed.

Zuo Xiang sighed: "Back then, I also deeply felt that there was something wrong with Mr. Chen's case, but at that time the matter was already a foregone conclusion, and there was no other evidence, so I could only suppress it."

"This matter is indeed suspicious. In order to conceal the bribery incident for the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment deliberately fabricated evidence to frame Mr. Chen. This account book is enough to prove it." Yan Qinghe said lightly.

"Why did Master Yan tell me this?" Zuo Xiang asked.

It wasn't that he suspected Yan Qinghe's ulterior motives, but that such a major event received the greatest credit in the end.

He didn't believe that Yan Qinghe didn't have the ambition to climb up.

"Compared to me, Mr. Zuoxiang has stayed with the emperor for a long time, and this matter is very important. If I pass the paper to His Majesty, and the person speaks lightly, His Majesty may suspect that I deliberately framed him for the purpose of removing the power in the court. If According to the importance His Majesty attaches to you, he will definitely investigate to the end and hand it over to Lord Zuo, but it will allow the matter to be resolved in the most perfect way." Yan Qinghe said lightly, got up and solemnly handed over the account book To the left hand.

Hearing his explanation, Prime Minister Zuo was very pleased.

Although Yan Qinghe was valued by the emperor, but in terms of seniority, naturally he stayed in front of the emperor longer.

This is what he has always been proud of.

Being able to benefit the emperor is what he should do as a courtier.

"I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty in this way, and your contribution will be indispensable at that time." Zuo Xiangyan looked at him more appreciatively.

After finishing speaking, Prime Minister Zuo looked at Chen Ci again: "Don't worry, after I tell His Majesty about your father's matter, I will definitely return Mr. Chen's innocence."

Chen Ci quickly thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Zuo Xiang."

After the discussion, Prime Minister Zuo personally sent Yan Qinghe and others out of the mansion.

Looking at the back of Prime Minister Zuo leaving, Yan Qinghe slowly turned around.

"My lord, someone is watching in the dark." Su Ming whispered in his ear.

Yan Qinghe said indifferently: "A person from the Shangshu Mansion?"

Su Ming shook his head: "There are two groups of people, and the younger ones are not sure."

Yan Qinghe looked up at the corner of the dark place, and got into the carriage under the escort of Chen Ci.

"Are the guards ready?" Yan Qinghe asked.

Su Ming nodded.

Chen Ci was a little puzzled watching the two of them playing charades, and was about to speak, when the carriage stopped suddenly, and his pores stood up.

"Sir, be careful."

Yan Qinghe lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, a row of men in black tightly surrounded the carriage.

Su Ming said loudly: "Protect your lord, there are assassins!"

With a sound falling, as if some switch was turned on, the man in black rushed towards the carriage.

Chen Ci hurriedly protected Yan Qinghe behind him: "My lord, I will cover you back home."

"No need."

Yan Qinghe gently pushed his arm away, and softly said to the empty streets around: "Come out."

As soon as the words fell, the guards suddenly rushed out and surrounded these people.

Chen Ci blinked his eyes, a little unresponsive.

"I will give these people to Mr. Zuo Xiang later, I think he will be satisfied with this gift from me." Yan Qinghe glanced at Su Ming and said with a light smile.

"Yes, my lord."

Su Ming rubbed his hands, and sent a pair of guards to protect Yan Qinghe back to the mansion.

Fearing that he might be in danger, Chen Ci followed him into the car.

There was a group of bewildered men in black left, why did they leave before they started fighting.

Jiang Jin didn't care too much, and directly attacked the carriage.

Sheng Quan gave him a death order, Yan Qinghe's life would be spared no matter what today, how could he just leave like that.

"Hey, your opponent is me, don't be in a hurry to die." Su Ming chuckled, and put a big knife across Jiang Jin's chest.

Jiang Jin frowned, and raised his sword with a long sword: "Get away from me!"

"I can't get away, why don't you show me!" As soon as Su Ming left Yan Qinghe's side, the bandit spirit of being a bandit naturally came out.

Jiang Jin is too lazy to fight with him here, what he wants is Yan Qinghe's life, and he doesn't want to get too entangled here.

He raised his long sword and stabbed at Su Ming's chest. Su Ming hurriedly returned the knife to avoid it. It took a few breaths between the two of them back and forth, and at this time, the carriage was slowly driving away.

Jiang Jin took the time to take a look, and found that the people he brought were all entangled by the guards who suddenly appeared, and frowned immediately.

Jiang Jin looked at Su Ming who was entangled in front of him, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Since there is no way to assassinate Yan Qinghe, let's kill this person first.

Thinking of this, the sword in Jiang Jin's hand is also a little faster.

Seeing the opponent's strength getting stronger every time, Su Ming smiled and caught it lightly with a knife. Among other things, he had the strongest strength.

Seeing that the other party picked it up so easily, Jiang Jin was even more angry.

"Little brat, haven't you eaten? You're just tickling me!" Su Ming chuckled.

Jiang Jin's face turned dark, but he was wrapped in a face scarf, so he couldn't see any expression.

"Speak nonsense!" He snorted coldly, drew his sword and stabbed at Su Ming's waist in a roundabout way.

Su Ming quickly dodged, taking advantage of this strength, Jiang Jin successfully escaped from his entanglement.

"let's go!"

After hearing the news, the men in black no longer wanted to fight, and fled directly.

"Where to escape!" Su Ming hurriedly chased after him. His lord had told him that this man was a gift from the left minister. How could he be allowed to escape so easily.

He quickly picked up the big knife and slashed towards Jiang Jin's back...

Chen Ci got into the carriage, looked at Yan Qinghe hesitantly, and after repeating it several times, Yan Qinghe sighed: "If you have anything to ask, just ask."

"I want to ask my lord, how did those guards suddenly appear there?" Chen Ci's eyes lit up.

"My guess."

Yan Qinghe glanced at him lightly: "Early before I was ready to destroy Sheng Fang's innocence, I knew that Sheng Quan would never let me go, so I asked Su Ming to gather guards early on, and when Sheng Quan knew that his daughter was humiliated, I guess he would do something to me , but I don’t know the exact time, someone followed me when I left the house today, so I guessed it was today, after I got rid of the follower in the market, I asked Su Ming to tell them to wait there, only there is the best place to attack place."

Speaking of this, Yan Qinghe sighed softly: "I'm worried that there's not enough evidence, no, someone just sent it to me, and I don't know if Su Ming caught anyone or not."

Chen Ci felt chills when he heard that, Yan Qinghe took one step at a time and counted three steps. The thing hasn't happened yet, he has already guessed what will happen next, and it is completely linked together.

It's okay if they are friends, but if they are enemies, it can be said that they are not worth their lives.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, from the beginning, he was not an enemy, otherwise he would not know how he died.

"My lord, I should be able to catch it, no, I will definitely be able to catch it." Chen Ci said affirmatively, there are quite a lot of guards, so it shouldn't be difficult to catch it.

When he went out in the morning, he was still worried that he and Su Ming would not be able to protect him. He originally wanted Yan Qinghe to transfer guards, but he refused. He didn't expect it to be used for this.

Yan Qinghe smiled, noncommittal.
