Apr 15, 2022

Now Xu Qingjia is on duty in the capital, but he is in the realm of the abyss, and his steps are difficult. The power of Master Fu was also feared by King Ning. There was an inexplicable blood feud between the two. Gao Zheng and Jia Quan explained the danger to Xu Qingjia in advance. .

After a night's rest, Xu Qingjia took the initiative to see Jia Xiang, and unexpectedly learned that he and his father were close friends of classmates. As for why Xu's father was demoted to the county seat, it is unknown. In fact, Jia Xiang had no chance of winning in overthrowing Taishi Fu, so he could only place the heavy responsibility on Xu Qingjia.

On the other hand, Cui Wulang found the grandmother who served Ruoqi back then, and asked about the symptoms of Ruoqi before her death from the other party's mouth. All the manifestations are enough to prove that she died of poisoning. King Ning was deeply saddened by this. If Grand Master Fu had not believed that he was a master of merit, and secretly sent someone to poison him, how could he have caused Ruoqi's tragic death.

While Xu Qingjia and Jia Xiang were reminiscing about the past, Hu Jiao went to Yumanang alone to reminisce, but found that Yumanlou's business was cold, so she decided to help her, and then became the second shopkeeper of Yumanlou. Because of this, at the suggestion of Hu Jiao, Yumanlou added the entertainment of Qushui Liujing, which attracted many people to participate in it, and became a frequent place for literati and writers for a while.

When Xu Qingjia first came to the Ministry of Housing to report, he met Liu Meng, the head of the branch division, who gave him a few words of advice, and then handed him the task of arranging the documents. After getting used to it for a while, under Jia Xiang's instruction, Master Feng found some household accounts for Xu Qingjia to investigate.

Jia Jifang heard that Hu Jiao became the second shopkeeper of Yumanlou, so she brought a group of people to make trouble and humiliated her in public. Hu Jiao is not familiar with poetry and poetry, especially when everyone ridiculed her in every way, she felt embarrassed. After she finished calculating her income and expenses for Yu Niang, she went home alone and gloomy.

Since the books of the Ministry of Household are stored in the warehouse and are guarded by special officials, if you want to enter, you have to pass the hands of three people, and you have to ask people to stamp them everywhere. Although all the stamps are collected, the Ministry of Household Officials will also follow closely behind, and every move is under the surveillance of the other party.

It's even more difficult to want to investigate more deeply. Xu Qingjia couldn't help but complain to Gao Zhengda. He could only rack his brains to think about it. Gao Zheng knew Xu Qingjia's difficulties, but he couldn't think of a better way. He could only remind him to be careful.

After what happened today, Hu Jiao suddenly realized that she was not worthy of Xu Qingjia at all, and Jia Jifang's words couldn't get rid of her mind. Xu Qingjia found Hu Jiao standing in a daze in front of the tea leaves and noticed that something was wrong, but Hu Jiao made an excuse to go back to the room and silently hid her grievance in her heart.

After several days of investigation, it was finally the emperor who did not pay the painstaking efforts. Xu Qingjia, on the grounds that he was familiar with official duties, went to the warehouse to review the records of military salaries and transportation in recent years, and suddenly found a document that was very similar to the Wanmin Umbrella Order. , and more detailed time is recorded in the manual.

However, a month after the transfer order was issued, Xu's father was suddenly demoted and sent to the frontier. Xu Qingjia tracked down the time recorded in the document, read the official position change document, and finally found a person named "Qian Chengyu". How could he know that this person had been convicted and beheaded in the past due to a mistake in transporting grain and grass, and now he can only follow this clue to continue to investigate.

Gao Zheng knew that the Ministry of Household was not a suitable place to discuss in detail, and agreed with Xu Qingjia and Cui Wulang to go to Yumanlou for further discussion after agreeing to break up the value. Xu Qingjia learned from Yu Niang that Jia Jifang had been to Yumanlou, and because she was worried about Hu Jiao, she hurried home, hoping that she would not have to care about other people's opinions, as long as the two lived their own lives well. But Hu Jiao couldn't get around the hurdle in her happiness, saying that Xu Qingjia married her to repay her kindness, and it is unknown whether there is any relationship.
