"Yes." Zheng Yan took the order and left. Fang Zilan then asked Xiao Xuan'er: "After the Ministry of Revenue detained the person, did they say what to do with it?"
"Not yet." Xiao Xuan'er shook her head, "Smuggling convictions are usually based on the value of the goods. The Ministry of Revenue heard that the price has not yet been determined, so the person has not been handed over to the Ministry of Punishments."
"I don't think the price has been determined yet, but we need to see the Fang family's reaction before we know how to estimate the price." Fang Zilan half-leaned on the main seat, looking a little tired.
"If the Fang family bows their heads and submits, then this matter will turn into a trivial matter." Mo Han said, "But if the Fang family still refuses to obey, the Ministry of Revenue will probably make something out of nothing."
Fang Zilan was silent, thinking that Pei Jueqing was pressing harder. Is the Fang family really going to have no way out?
"Master Fang!" Awan came in a hurry and said anxiously: "Someone from the palace has called, saying that His Majesty invites you to enter the palace."
"Enter the palace again?" Fang Zilan felt her head was as big as a bucket, and she didn't know what Li Shengxuan was thinking. Since the Lantern Festival, she had been summoned to the palace every three days.
It stands to reason that her chief minister is not allowed to enter the palace without decree, and she only needs to go to the palace once a month to report the situation. Who knows that now Li Shengxuan frequently announces her entry into the palace, and it is a trivial matter, but he insists on letting her run away for a while. trip.
At this time, in Prince Zhongzheng's house, Murong Qing was lying on the bed, staring at the bed curtain above his head, thinking seriously about what mistake he made that allowed Mr. Zuo to get in.
When he heard that Mr. Zuo had been arrested, he was shocked beyond words. Because of Yunshu's relationship, Mr. Zuo has a half-teacher relationship with him, and is the only one who knows his ambitions and is willing to help him.
The game of chess in Dajing was planned by Mr. Zuo.
After he came to Dajing, he quickly discovered that Master Yuan's identity was not simple. He went to Baiye Temple every three days and finally found out.
After he passed the news to Mr. Zuo, Mr. Zuo first robbed the Persian caravan and blamed Di Rong's tribe, provoking a dispute between the two parties. Then, on the one hand, he placed his own people among the mission, and praised Master Yuan openly and secretly with the Persian mission. On the other hand, he used the time when the mission was in Beijing to spread the idea that Master Yuan did not dare to open the forum because of his unworthy morality. information.
The Persian deputy envoy was dissatisfied after hearing the news. In addition, from time to time some people said that Master Nuoan was a foreign monk, which made him even more angry, and the scene in the main hall happened.
As for Mia Gu, Mr. Zuo was already kind to him, and his original plan was to have him kill Master Yuan in public. The dead cannot speak, and the truth can only come from the mouths of the living. In this way, no one knows whether Master Lianyuan is morally worthy or not. And Li Shengxuan will be at least charged with ignorance and negligence. Coupled with his unknown origin of the throne, there will definitely be chaos in the capital.
Now because of Fang Zilan, although Master Lioyuan has not died, rumors have attracted eminent monks from all over the world, and his reputation is imminent. Even if it takes some twists and turns, it can still achieve its goal.
However, in the game planned by Mr. Zuo, he did not show up from beginning to end. Why was he caught? Could it be...
Murong Qing suddenly sat up and was about to call Meng Tingyang when he saw him walking in. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Yue State invites you to visit the camp on the outskirts of Beijing."
Hearing this, Murong Qing's pupils suddenly dilated. Was it really the accidentally dropped jade pendant that attracted Fang Zilan?
He slowly got down from the bed, calmed down his emotions and said softly: "I know, after I change my clothes, I will set off."
Fang Zilan looked up and saw the butler leading Zhuge Yu over with a smiling face. She calmed her expression and said quietly: "Ayu, what are you doing here?"
"Sister Lan has been lifted from the ban, and she should return to the government office and resume her duties." Zhuge Yu stood still and said slowly: "Today, the officials of the government office, big and small, have not seen Mr. Fang coming, so I have been invited to come to Fang Mansion to have a look. .”
Fang Zilan pursed her lips, thinking that if she didn't want to be locked up in the mansion, she would have to go to work. It's really hard to be a minister in the capital. However, her face remained calm as she said, "Ayu, please wait here for a moment. I'll change into my official uniform and then go to the government office with you."
"Okay." Zhuge Yu agreed. Fang Zilan glared at Mo Han, then quickly went back to the house to change into official uniform, and went to the government office with Zhuge Yu.
After arriving at the government office, Fang Zilan looked at the mountains of official documents on her desk and couldn't help but feel numb, "So many?"
"The land in the southeast has been severely damaged by this, and the aftermath is quite complicated." Zhuge Yu deliberately prolonged his voice and said: "Sister Lan, thank you for your hard work."
Fang Zilan took the top document and only half-read it when she got a headache and said, "Ayu, we need money to deal with the aftermath, but isn't the allocation of money a matter for the Ministry of Accounts?" Why did you push it to me? "
"The Ministry of Revenue returned the document on the grounds that the expenditure was unknown." Zhuge Yu looked a little more solemn, "I might have to trouble Sister Lan to go there in person."
Fang Zilan looked confused, "When did Mr. Pei become so unreasonable?"
"Master Pei Xiaoze is of course reasonable, but Duke Guo Guo is not so easy to talk to." Zhuge Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the document in her hand, and advised: "Sister Lan, please read it carefully again. You must not let the people from the Ministry of Household Picking Nothing wrong."
"The Duke of Guo Guo is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he can still stretch his hand so long?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly, but still had the patience to read the Chinese document carefully.
The more she looked at it, the more she frowned. "There are a few things here that are really doubtful. I'll have someone check them first. If they're correct, I'll go to the Ministry of Finance in person."
"Okay." Zhuge Yu nodded, then called the subordinate officials to come in and explained the parts that needed to be verified one by one.
Fang Zilan roughly went through the documents on the case, and then assigned them to different people to handle. It was already past noon when the work was completed. She felt hungry in her belly and was about to go out to eat something when she saw Zhuge Yu walking in with lunch.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ayu, you are so considerate."
Zhuge Yu put the lunch on the table while listening to her sigh: "I thought that the youngest son in the family like A Yu would be treated as a treasure and raised with incomparable wealth. I never thought that he could be so good at taking care of others. "
"Among the Zhuge family in the capital, in my generation, apart from my elder brother, I am the only one." Zhuge Yu looked indifferent, "My elder brothers are away from home, so naturally I can only take care of my grandfather and elders at home. As time goes by, I will get used to it."
Fang Zilan was keenly aware that she might have said something that she shouldn't have said, so she was silent for a moment, and then changed her voice again and said: "Speaking of which, these days when I have been closed down, there is a lot of official work backlogged up and down the government office. I'm afraid I have to be busy. It’s been a while.”
Zhuge Yu didn't say anything, he just looked at her steadily until her hand holding the chopsticks stopped, "A Yu?"
