Chapter 82:
When Xue Yan was in front of Jun Huailang, he was still in a posture of being unable to walk without anyone helping him. When Jun Huailang was far away, he walked fast and returned to his yard all the way.
He passed by the bedroom, without even glancing in, he went straight to the study.
"Everything is delivered to my table," he said.
Jinbao responded quickly, trotted all the way, and greeted the two Jinyiwei to send the important news sent from various places over the past few days to Xue Yan's study.
Jinbao is waiting by the side.
He was not surprised at all. He knew better than anyone how much his master's body was going through a lot of tossing.
A year and a half ago, he was beaten 50 times by the emperor, and he could not call the imperial doctor. Can it be done?
Although the master was seriously injured this time, he received such meticulous medical treatment, and let His Royal Highness accompany him, and he cultivated for several days.
Jinbao all knows that the master is all right, that is, pretending to be pitiful in front of the prince's highness, and asking the prince to see him again.
That is, His Royal Highness has a good heart and can be fooled by his master.
Over there, Xue Yan glanced at the letter in his hand.
This letter is from Dongchang. In addition to the daily fragmentary news of the DPRK and China, a lot of space is written about the Xu family.
One is that the position of Shandong provincial governor was vacant, and the Xu family strongly recommended a little-known official. That position was originally a dispute between the Jiang Xu family and the emperor. The emperor was undecided and was hesitating. Seeing that the Xu family suddenly recommended such an official with no background, he immediately agreed.
There is really nothing outstanding about that official, that is, the family is rich and gave the Xu family a lot of money, which is considered to be the purchase of this official.
Xue Yan's eyes paused there.
Why is the Xu family so short of money?
He knew that since he took this position, the Xu family would not be as peaceful as before, and the entire faction had been tossed up and down because of him.
Because of this, the daughters of the Xu family were unable to speak, and Xiang Xiang and several sons were in a daze, so they let their only grandson go south to play.
However, even so, the Xu family has a great career and a deep foundation, and will not give up the game with the Jiang family for the sake of money.
There is only one possibility.
This official has shown sincerity and will definitely use it for them in the future, and the Xu family is really short of money, and I don't know what to do with the money.
Xue Yan turned to the next page.
The Qing Ping Emperor received the memorial from the Yongning Court, and he took it seriously, and invited the ministers to discuss it. Unusually, the Xu family did not object, but instead supported the Qing Ping Emperor to allocate some money to prevent floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Qing Ping Emperor readily agreed, and immediately followed, the Xu family went back and sent a secret letter.
As for where the secret letter was sent, the power of the East Factory is only in Chang'an, and it is impossible to detect if there are too many.
Xue Yan hooked the corner of his lips.
He can naturally guess where this secret letter came from.
It must have been sent to Jiangnan and delivered to Guo Rongwen.
He came out of the household department to manage the accounts for Yongning. Gong Yongning is kind to him and trusts him, so he will naturally leave the chores on the account to him.
Then it's easy for him to be greedy for ink.
I just don't know what the Xu family wants to do to make money.
Xue Yan turned back again.
For a moment, he smiled faintly.
"Want to use my hand to kill them, so that I can destroy the corpses and traces of what I have done?"
People from Dongchang killed Concubine Rong, which Xue Yan knew for a long time.
His kinship is indifferent and he doesn't take it seriously, but when they meet him, these eunuchs think they are smart and try to play him around.
Xue Yan sighed lightly.
"Segment fourteen," he said. "Work hard, and when you return to Beijing this year, Duan Chong's head will be taken by yourself."
Duan Shishi in the dark took command.
Xue Yan picked up another letter.
This letter was given to him by paragraph fourteen. Several days ago, he sent Duan Shishi back to Jinling in advance.
As expected, Guo Rongwen moved a lot while they were away.
He asked Duan Shishi to trouble the young master of the Xu family. Duan Shishi was not ambiguous at all. It didn't take long for this young master to cause a life lawsuit and also owe a gambling debt. Xu Cong'an was alone in Jinling, and it was naturally more difficult to ask for money when he went home, so he went to find his father's lackey.
It is Guo Rongwen.
Guo Rongwen is only a small household official. He got on the car of the Xu family a few years ago, and this has improved. The Xu family was the only young master, so he naturally didn't dare to offend him, so he used his power and exploited the money he had in hand several times, and only then blocked the hole for Master Xu.
However, this is all within his power, so there is no trace.
What Xue Yan wants is not a trace.
Now Guo Rongwen has no money on hand. Next, when Master Xu asked for money again, he could only take the risk.
Once you take a risk, you will naturally reveal more and more obvious handles and tricks.
This is what Xue Yan wants.
"Have you finished the flower building you went to find?" Xue Yan asked.
Duan Shishi responded: "Go back to the Lord, it has been done. Hualou is one of the best in Jinling City and has a good reputation. We found a woman named Yujing, who has become ours. People. Just wait for the Lord's order, and the people in the building will hold it."
Xue Yan nodded: "It's almost there, let's start."
The fourteenth paragraph should go below.
"If Duan Chong didn't teach you the truth of how rare goods can live, I'll teach you today."
Duan XIV nodded yes.
"Go on." Xue Yan put down the secret letter and said.
Duan Shishi was like a shadow, and disappeared in a flash.
Xue Yan raised his eyes and looked at the beating candlelight in front of him. For a moment, his eyes softened and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
Such a soft look on his face was extremely difficult to see. But it was short-lived, fleeting, and then disappeared.
At that moment, he thought of Jun Huailang.
There is an informant buried by the Xu family beside his father, and Jun Huailang naturally does not know.
But he doesn't have to know.
Xue Yan retracted his gaze and refocused on other letters.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Everyone under Xue Yan has rules, and it is not a matter of importance. It is absolutely impossible to disturb Xue Yan when he is in the study.
Jinbao hurried to open the door.
A young servant stood at the door, with a worried expression on his face.
"If you have something to say, what do you do?" Jinbao scolded.
As soon as the boy raised his head, he saw Xue Yan also looking up at him.
His legs were weak and he almost fell to his knees.
"Go back to your lord." He said tremblingly. "Just now, Fu Yi, who was beside His Royal Highness, came by..."
"What?" Xue Yan asked.
Xue Yan held the letter's hand for a while.
Unexpectedly, the little servant hasn't finished speaking yet.
"His Royal Highness also said that if there is nothing important, please ask the lord...don't look for him."
—
Jun Huailang did not fall asleep all night.
He held the page and didn't dare to look at it again, but he still held it in his hand and couldn't let it go.
Perhaps this life has changed too much and lived too peacefully, perhaps because he focused his attention on his father, and gradually forgot his previous life.
He forgot Xue Yan in his previous life, what is his relationship with him, and what is his relationship with Ling Huan...
He could not pursue Xue Yan because he did nothing in this life and was an innocent person, but he... couldn't like him.
Even if there were all kinds of things in the past life, it didn't happen and no one knew about it, but he knew about it.
He can't have such feelings for the other party without his knowledge.
…but he did it anyway.
He must not be so disobedient, contrary to his conscience and nature.
He knows that although he is soft-hearted, he has always been very principled.
Under his own moral principles, he will never fail to do what he should do, and he will immediately stop what he should not do, and never touch it again.
But this time is different.
It's messed up.
He knew that he shouldn't like Xue Yan, he should stop himself in time, cut off contact with the other party, or put away such thoughts.
But he never liked people, he didn't know...
This kind of thinking, once born, does not mean to put it away.
He always knows himself, even if he can't control others, he can definitely control himself.
But now...his own heart seems to be out of control.
The more he knew what to do and the more he wanted to force himself, the more uncomfortable he felt. It was as if a ball of wet cotton had been stuffed into his heart, which made his chest hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.
Although he is gentle, his nature is cold. For more than 20 years in the past and present, he is the only one who has moved his heart.
It is the one who should never be tempted.
Jun Huailang was lying in the tent alone, holding the broken page in his hand. Unconsciously, the rising sun fell on his bed through the gap in the bed tent.
A light shone on the back of his hand.
Jun Huailang looked at the light, spread out his hands, and looked at the line of words quietly as if he was abusing himself.
[Xue Yan's lips curled into a cold arc...]
Jun Huailang frowned.
He suddenly found that the Xue Yan described on this note was extremely unfamiliar.
The Xue Yan he knew would never show such an expression or say such a thing, nor would he retaliate against the other party in such a way because the other party had been kind to him and took back his goodwill.
Jun Huailang's hand holding the piece of paper tightened slightly, facing the light, and slowly sat up.
In an instant, he began to suspect that what was written in the book was fake.
Fuyi outside heard the movement and hurriedly opened the bed tent for him and waited for him to get up.
Jun Huailang didn't say a word, but Fuyi saw his face first.
"Master didn't sleep well last night?" he asked. "Why is there no spirit."
Jun Huailang hummed, her voice a little hoarse.
"Nothing," he said.
"What's the young master holding in his hand?" Fuyi saw that he was holding a piece of paper in his hand again, looked crumpled, and said hurriedly. "Did I throw it for you?"
Jun Huailang moved his finger and put the piece of paper into his palm.
"No," he said.
Fuyi also saw that he was not in good spirits, so he didn't say any more. But he was also worried about his young master, and it would be so abnormal only when he had a nightmare.
In that case, he had to say something to divert his attention.
Fuyi racked his brains and suddenly remembered Jinbao he met under the corridor this morning.
Yes, the young master has always had a good relationship with His Royal Highness King Guangling.
Fuyi hurriedly said, "By the way, young master, this morning, the slave met Eunuch Jinbao."
Jun Huailang's eyelashes trembled.
Fuyi said: "Eunuch Jinbao said that the prince was busy with his duties, so he went to the yamen early in the morning regardless of his illness. He said that he couldn't persuade him, but he was worried and wanted you to get it. Kong, go and persuade the prince."
