Chapter 545 A good show!
Jiang An gave the order, and the people from Kyoto were thrown out one by one by their personal soldiers.
Jiang Jichen glanced at his daughter who was in a bad mood and cleared his throat, "Aan..."
"Ah."
The little girl supported her face with her hands, not knowing what she was thinking, and responded softly.
Her expression was unclear at the moment, and she seemed to be immersed in the scheming and scheming of the court.
But the old father doesn't want his daughter to be influenced by these things at such a young age. She deserves to be free.
He reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, "Do you want my help?"
Jiang An felt the weight on his head, and the gloominess in his eyes faded away.
She shook her head and stood up again, "I have already arranged everything before leaving Beijing. Just wait for new news."
The little girl stood up, put all these things behind her, and grabbed her father's hand, "Let's go to the street to buy!"
"Call Old Fox and the others to join us."
"it is good."
In order to please the little girl, the old father simply chose to forget about the official documents piled up in the main courtyard waiting to be processed.
And the fact that he ordered Jiang An to be confined to his house.
A group of people went out into the street in a mighty procession.
They basically don't care about the affairs of the mansion, and they are not actually very clear about what to purchase.
All the little girls buy whatever they find interesting...fun!
After walking on the street for a while, Jiang Jichen and his friends all had something in their hands.
Sweet preserved fruits, fried chestnuts, candied haws, etc.
What’s special is that I only took one bite of these things.
When they returned to the palace, Steward Sun glanced at the things the young master had bought and just shook his head and laughed.
The weather in the north is getting colder, but the streets are getting busier.
The little girl sat on the crossbar of the mansion gate, propping her head up to watch the people coming and going.
Most of them returned with full loads, with satisfied smiles on their faces, or the whole family came to the city to shop, with the baby sitting on his father's shoulders and the mother coaxing him with food and toys in her hands.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and many families have already put up spring couplets in advance, making the whole street look festive.
"An An!"
Xie Yunshan stood on the ladder, holding the couplet crookedly in his hand, "Come and help me check if it's crooked?"
"coming!"
The little girl ran over and failed to brake in time, almost pushing General Xie off the car.
He held the ladder and breathed a sigh of relief, "Little ancestor, you are going to murder me!"
"Hehe~"
"Accident, accident~"
Jiang An scratched his face, trying to change the subject.
In the corridor, Qi Shanyuan, who had beautiful handwriting, stopped writing, went to see the two people who were fighting, and smiled helplessly.
"younger sister!"
It was Huo Changming's voice.
He was seen holding Li Xingsang's hand, with a heavy food box in his other hand.
It’s the dim sum from Yue Fook Building…
Every year before New Year's Day, Mrs. Huo would send some snacks to the old customers of Yufulou, both to wish them good luck in the new year and to thank them for their support in the past year.
Every year, the gift given to the little girl is particularly heavy. After all, she is not only a customer but also the boss of Yufulou.
The servant following behind Li Xingsang also had gifts prepared in his hands, all of which were jewelry that girls liked.
His father used to be a businessman and made many friends from other countries and foreign merchants. These jewelry were of styles that were not available among southern merchants, which was enough to show his intentions.
When the little girl saw that it was them, she opened her arms and flew over like a butterfly.
Behind her was General Xie, whose face she had painted with a brush, chasing her.
I don't know how many couplets they put up, but they were having a lot of fun.
Jiang Jichen and the old fox both heard the noise coming from the main hall while they were in the study.
Hu Yan dropped a piece and asked anxiously, "How is the situation in Kyoto?"
Jiang Jichen pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "An did it very cleanly and ruthlessly."
She had already controlled a small leader who participated in the construction of the dam, and hid them in Kyoto along with witnesses of several other corruption cases.
When Cui Huaixu arrived in the south, the people who wanted to assassinate him were knocked unconscious before they could catch him, and were safely sent to his father's border camp.
There was the account book of the Ministry of Works that Jiang An had handed over to Marquis Dingyuan a long time ago. It recorded every official's account, when and where they received what, and who gave it to them!
There were even some large accounts that only passed through the hands of officials from the Ministry of Works and finally ended up in the hands of Old Master Xie.
Before Cui Huaixu could think clearly, he was packed up and sent out of the camp.
He was knocked unconscious again and stuffed into a caravan, hiding in a box.
Along the way, they were secretly escorted by people arranged by Marquis Dingyuan, and they returned to Kyoto safely.
At that time in Kyoto, all the officials were furious and were determined to put Jiang Ling, who was charged with murder, in jail.
Seeing that His Majesty and the general were at their wits' end, Princess Nanshang suddenly announced that she wanted to hold a banquet, and officials and their families flocked to the princess's mansion.
She knocked one after another secretly.
With their relatives and family members in the hands of others, especially the domineering princess, all the officials became timid and did not dare to shout about being sent to prison.
As for Song Shen and the censors who had been holding on tightly, they suddenly became as quiet as chickens at a morning court session one day.
As the ancients said, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
The eyes of all the officials stayed on them, wishing they could poke a hole in them.
What on earth do they want to do!?
The turmoil lasted for two or three months. The emperor lost a lot of weight and sat on the dragon throne with a dark face.
He wanted to see what tricks they could come up with today!
After all the officials shouted "Wan'an", before the eunuch could speak, the emperor asked in a gloomy tone: "Has the Cui family returned to the capital?"
The officials looked at each other, and no one said a word.
"Hmph...Okay, very good!"
"His Majesty!"
In front of the Jinluan Palace, Chiyu entered the palace and reported, "Lord Cui, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, wishes to see Your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of drums was heard from the distant palace gate.
Who is beating the drum of complaint?
There was a buzz of discussion.
What a coincidence!
His Majesty asked, "Who is beating the drum to complain?"
Akabane replied, "The person in charge of the South Land Dam repair and the rest of the people!"
"The clerk of the Ministry of Revenue has verified his identity and found that he is from the South."
The people in the Ministry of Works were filled with fear and didn't understand how these people had entered Kyoto.
They had clearly already made arrangements at all the gates leading into the city, and any suspicious people entering the city from the south would be reported!
They couldn't have flown into Kyoto, could they?
And the Cui family...
Why didn't anyone notice him entering the city? !
Why did he come back safely?
Such a thundering method is far from the slightly immature behavior of these young people a few days ago.
There are other people behind Song Shen and others!
The General's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion are both in Kyoto, and their every move is monitored by the aristocratic families, so it is impossible for such an omission to occur.
As for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, there are only orphans and a widowed mother there, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Who else could it be?
The Minister of Works swept his vicious eyes over everyone in the court.
Suddenly, he looked at the empty seat next to Minister Li of the Ministry of Justice...
In a trance, he seemed to see the little ancestor smiling and greeting him.
is her!
"Bring it up!" His Majesty said quickly, not giving anyone else a chance to refute.
The Minister of Industry came back to his senses, his body limp for a moment, "Your Majesty...Ah!"
Jiang Ling, who had been confined to his residence to reflect on his mistakes, had come to the court at some point and kicked him in the ass, "Shut up!"
The general looked at his reckless son and covered his face in silence.
At this point, it was too late for the Xie family and the harem to intervene...
Not to mention how stupid it was to kill people in front of the palace gate to silence them, the key point was that these people were kneeling outside the palace gate and their mouths were not idle, they had already told the whole story over and over again.
They can kill witnesses and testimonies, but they cannot kill the people in the city and the rumors!
Witnesses go to court, blood debts are revealed, and nothing can be undone.
The people from the Ministry of Industry wanted to excuse themselves and say that this was a false accusation...
But their words are not as smooth as those of the censors~
The little old man in the crimson official robe almost brought out all their eight generations of ancestors to greet them!
As for the old tutor Xie who was implicated, no one cared about him at all.
They can hardly protect themselves, so who would care about a dead person's reputation?
The Golden Throne Hall was in chaos. The censors were about to bang their heads against the pillars, people from the Ministry of Works were howling, and the newly promoted officials headed by Song Shen glared at these parasites, wishing they could skin them alive.
