But the premise is that those corrupt officials in Jiang State must be eradicated first!
Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Yu Xiheng who was standing below. Logically speaking, he had been sitting in this position for seven years and had outstanding political achievements. He should have been promoted long ago.
However, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue holds the financial power of Jiang State. Apart from him, no one can be assured of being the emperor.
He sighed and thought to himself that there were still too few useful ministers.
After leaving the palace, Xiao Changyang rushed to the Shangshu Mansion without stopping. His people were already waiting in front of the door.
Xiao Changyang looked at the plaque on the beam with sharp eyes and sarcasm.
What a hypocritical family. Three days later, he will smash this plaque with his own hands in front of this family.
How can a black-hearted person deserve to be an official!
Next to him, Yan Guan, who was sent by the emperor to follow the records, saw him looking at the plaque for a long time, and then he picked up a pen and wrote down a sentence in the notebook:
'At three o'clock on the first day, Xiao Changyang looked at the plaque for a long time in front of the door of Shangshu Mansion, with admiration and yearning in his eyes. The official guessed that he wanted to collect it. '
Of course, this kind of gambling agreement with the emperor must be recorded by an official for future reference.
After retracting his gaze, Xiao Changyang led his men toward the door aggressively.
"Stop! Who are you!" The concierge stopped them with weapons in hand.
Seeing the unkind look on their faces, the concierge was very wary, but still refused to give in.
Xiao Changyang looked unhappy, "Didn't your master tell you that I am coming to investigate the case?"
The concierge looked at them suspiciously for a while, then nodded, "So it's you. I told you, please come in."
After saying that, he put down his weapon and stood aside.
Xiao Changyang straightened his clothes, snorted coldly, and walked in without looking away.
After entering, he looked at the empty living room, and his forehead veins jumped with anger.
Now that I knew he was coming, no one came out to entertain the guests in the living room, not even a maid or servant. This really made it clear that I didn't take him seriously!
He glanced at Yan Guan with a sarcastic look and said sarcastically: "Your country's hospitality is really unique."
Yan Guan seemed not to understand. He waved his hand and wrote on his notebook: "At three o'clock on the first day, Xiao Changyang entered the Shangshu Mansion and was treated politely by the Shangshu's family." '
Xiao Changyang didn't look at what he wrote. He led his guards through the living room and walked inside.
In the entire front hall, he was stunned not to see anyone!
This made him so angry that he couldn't even drink water after running for so long. He was so angry that he kicked the door frame.
"Okay, okay, do you think I will give up like this?"
Yan Guan scrawled and wrote: "At four o'clock in the morning, Xiao Changyang suddenly fell ill and kicked down the door of the front hall of Shangshu Mansion." '
At the same time, in Jiangyun Pavilion, Mrs. Lin put down her cup gracefully and listened to Caichun's report without even bothering to raise her eyelids.
Juan Juan finished eating the fragrant and soft red date cake in his hand, then took Lin's arm and shook it.
"Mom~ let's go out~"
[It would be too pitiful for Uncle Yanguan to follow him. 】
"Let's go out and give Uncle Yanguan a glass of water~"
Mrs. Lin nodded her forehead and couldn't help laughing, "Little cat, wipe the pastry crumbs off your face and we'll go out."
So Xiao Changyang, who was wandering around the front hall, finally saw someone from Shangshu Mansion appear and asked his servants to serve a pot of tea.
Xiao Changyang will never know that this pot of tea is actually Juan Juan's heartache for an older Yan Guan who suffers from it, and he is just passing by.
His magnanimity as the young boss of the Rongxin Chamber of Commerce had long been worn away in the roundabout just now.
Seeing the servant serving a pot of tea, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I don't dare to drink the tea from Shangshufu. There may be something in it. I won't have a bad face after drinking it."
Yan Guan drank a cup of tea in two gulps, and then heard Xiao Changyang's strange words, so he took out a small notebook and wrote:
Mrs. Shangshu treated each other with courtesy, but Xiao Changyang was sarcastic and had no manners or etiquette at all. '
Juanjuan 'accidentally' glanced at the contents of the notebook, and instantly beamed with joy, and asked sweetly in a soft voice, "Uncle Yanguan, Juanjuan will give you another cup of Ni~"
Yan Guan smiled and narrowed his eyes. In front of such a cute child, he couldn't help but soften his voice a little.
"Thank you, miss~"
"You're welcome, Uncle Yanguan~"
Xiao Changyang's mouth was dry, and his face turned dark when he saw Yan Guan drinking so happily.
This family is indeed as Yaoyao said, they are all vicious and black-hearted.
He suddenly felt that the air here was dirty, as if he would contract some disease if he stayed here for a second longer.
Xiao Changyang's face was full of disgust, "You must also know the reason for my coming, so there is no need to get close to me. That makeup shop is my property. It was jealous and discredited just three days after it opened. Now all the clues I have found point to You are the Minister of Secretariat, so I hope you can cooperate."
After finishing her words, Mrs. Lin raised her eyes and said with a smile, "Of course."
Xiao Changyang stood up and said coldly, "Then please ask Madam to invite everyone in the house to come out."
As he stood up, he felt even thirstier.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone in Shangshu Mansion arrived in the courtyard.
Xiao Changyang took the cage covered with red cloth from the guard and looked at the people in the yard with an inevitable sneer.
He opened the red cloth with his right hand gracefully. A cage made of pure gold was revealed. Inside the cage was a white fluffy, palm-sized dumpling.
His tone was cold, his smile did not reach his eyes, and he glanced at everyone in the courtyard, feeling that he felt oppressed.
"This is the spiritual beast I bought from the Valley of Miracle Doctors at a huge price. I have let it smell the scent on the faces of those girls. As long as you have touched those medicinal powders, it can smell it no matter how many times you wash your hands. .”
Yan Guan observed for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Xiao Changyang wanted to give the spirit beast as a gift, and begged Mrs. Lin to summon everyone in the house to explain the use of the spirit beast on the spot." '
Juanjuan raised his head when he heard the words "Divine Doctor Valley" and met Xiao Changyang's eyes.
Xiao Changyang's eyes were cold and sinister, and he glanced at her critically.
This must be the vicious child who often bullies Yaoyao. Sure enough, at first glance, he thought it was not a good thing!
Then let’s start with her!
Xiao Changyang carried the cage over, stood in front of Juan Juan, then lowered his head and said coldly, "Stretch out your hand, I want to start with you now."
Juanjuan stretched out his little hand in confusion, raised his head and asked, "Is this so~"
The next second, Xiao Changyang suddenly yelled at her very loudly, "Speak to me properly!"
What a scheming child, actually acting like a baby to him!
Juanjuan was startled, feeling like his head was being yelled, and looked at him blankly.
Yu Shixu quickly ran over and picked up Juan Juan. Lin stood in front of Juan Juan and coaxed her softly, while Yu Chuezhi flew up and kicked Xiao Changyang on the waist.
