Pan Xiaoxian's face turned pale: "In order to frame me, there is no need for you to spend so much money."
Geng Yuntai did not respond to Pan Xiaoxian. He had the final say whether it was worth it or not, as long as the benefits were sufficient.
Pan Xiaoxian smashed the dragon-character Chunlan and made too much noise, quickly attracting the blue-suited officials.
Pan Xiaoxian's fate was all as expected by Geng Yuntai. He was tied up by the officials on the spot and prepared to be sent to Jinling Yamen for conviction.
"Don't take the teacher away."
Zhao Xiangxiang learned the news, and even though she might have offended Geng Yuntai, she rushed over to stop him.
Geng Yuntai said impatiently: "You are just a ninth-grade female official, you have no right to speak here."
Zhao Xiangxiang saw many officials in green uniforms and even one official in blue uniforms, and was frightened.
In Zhao Xiangxiang's eyes, these officials were all high-ranking officials who could decide her life or death with just one sentence.
Zhao Xiangxiang suppressed the fear in her heart and said tremblingly: "It's just a pot of flowers. I'll just compensate you."
Zhao Xiangxiang's words had no weight, and she knew it well, so she pulled Chen Yuanyuan over when she came over.
Chen Yuanyuan had a lot of contact with officials, and she knew very well that she could not stop him and could only delay it.
Chen Yuanyuan said: "You have explained clearly what happened."
The officials present were of higher rank than Pan Xiaoxian, so there was no need to explain to Pan Xiaoxian, let alone Zhao Xiangxiang.
However, it was different when the person speaking was Chen Yuanyuan. She was the niece of Concubine Chen.
Geng Yuntai searched for a long time but didn't see Shang Jinglan, and his heart sank. He probably went to find Zhang Fengyi.
Geng Yuntai didn't come to take office early or late, so he specially found a time to come when Zhang Fengyi was not around.
I was afraid of being blocked by Zhang Fengyi.
Geng Yuntai was no longer impatient, so he could only follow the rules of the officialdom and tell what happened as quickly as possible.
While Geng Yuntai was talking, he kept looking outside, fearing that he would see Zhang Fengyi coming.
Things turned out just as Geng Yuntai thought. Shang Jinglan didn't come to stop him and went to find Zhang Fengyi.
A pair of eye-catching long snow-white legs appeared at the door of the study.
Zhang Fengyi climbed down from the wall and was exhausted from the journey. She gasped and said: "There is still one month left before the tributes from various countries. As long as Pan Xiaoxian can bring out another pot of spring orchid with dragon characters, there is no need to send it to the Yamen for questioning. , I’ll just give you the money for this pot of dragon-shaped spring orchids.”
In order to please Eunuch Wang of the West Factory, Geng Yuntai thought for a long time before coming up with a perfect plot that could not be destroyed by Zhang Fengyi.
Geng Yuntai insisted on sending Pan Xiaoxian to the Yamen to be convicted: "This pot of spring orchids with dragon characters is a tribute sent to the palace. Without the palace's words, no one can protect Pan Xiaoxian."
Zhang Fengyi raised her eyebrows and said: "I knew you would say this. I have already gone to the Jiaofang Division and got Liu Rushi's intention. Let Pan Xiaoxian go first. Liu Rushi will report today's matter to the palace. inside."
When Geng Yuntai heard that she had moved out Liu Rushi, he knew that he could only let Pan Xiaoxian go temporarily today, so he sneered and said, "Then let Pan Xiaoxian live for one more month."
Other officials present looked at Pan Xiaoxian being taken away and shook their heads, thinking that he could live for at most one month.
The preciousness of the Dragon-Character Chunlan is that it is an orphan. Only the Geng family in the world has the tree species of Dragon-Character Chunlan, and only the Geng family knows how to cultivate Dragon-Character Chunlan.
Pan Xiaoxian didn't have any tree seeds, and he didn't know how to cultivate dragon-shaped spring orchids.
There is only a dead end.
Zhang Fengyi took Pan Xiaoxian away and complained: "Don't always cause trouble for Liu Rushi. This time because you, a junior official from the eighth rank, have disturbed the palace, the palace will definitely be dissatisfied with Liu Rushi. In order to save Liu Rushi, You use your power for personal gain."
After Zhang Fengyi said this, she climbed over the wall and left, feeling very unhappy.
Pan Xiaoxian's forehead was sweating, and he stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat: "Fortunately, thanks to Shang Jinglan, he went to find Mr. Liu and saved his life for the time being."
Shang Jinglan hesitated to speak. Every year, her family also sent tributes of rare treasures to the palace to participate in the tributes from various countries.
Shang Jinglan's family sent several more rare treasures to the palace than Geng Yuntai's family, and they knew very well that Chunlan with a dragon character was precious and rare.
Pan Xiaoxian asked: "Where can I buy Chunlan with dragon characters?"
Shang Jinglan didn't want to hurt Pan Xiaoxian. This matter was related to his life, so he could only tell the truth: "You can't buy it anywhere. Only Geng Yuntai's family has the dragon-shaped Chunlan tree, and they can only cultivate one pot every year. Otherwise, I wouldn’t treasure it enough to be sent to tribute exhibitions in various countries.”
Pan Xiaoxian froze, and it took a long time to recover. He said in disbelief: "I really only have one month to live."
Shang Jinglan liked the teacher in front of her very much. She didn't want to see Pan Xiaoxian die because of a pot of spring plums with dragon characters, so she could only nod.
Shang Jinglan said: "If I can buy it, I can use my connections to help the teacher buy a pot of dragon-shaped spring plums. The key is that I can't buy it at all."
Pan Xiaoxian failed to stand firm, staggered and almost fell, but fortunately, Zhao Xiangxiang caught him in time.
Zhao Xiangxiang helped him into the study, sat on a chair, and poured him another cup of tea: "Teacher, take a moment to drink tea and then think of other solutions. There will always be a way."
Shang Jinglan told a piece of gossip: "I heard that the dragon-shaped spring orchid cultivated by Geng Yuntai's family this year is of average appearance. If it were in the past, it would not have been reprimanded by the palace. However, this year is different. This is the first time that the Queen Mother listens to politics behind the curtain. One year. The Geng family’s hair is almost turning gray because of this incident. I didn’t expect Geng Yuntai to be so shameless, and he would find someone to take the blame to escape.”
Pan Xiaoxian understood and fully understood why Geng Yuntai framed him and was willing to use a pot of dragon-shaped spring orchid.
one stone two bird.
On the one hand, he prevented the Geng family from being reprimanded by the palace, and on the other hand, he curried favor with Eunuch Wang of Xichang.
Pan Xiaoxian was desperate: "Can I just wait to die?"
Shang Jinglan looked at Pan Xiaoxian who was in despair and became very anxious. He quickly took out a booklet from his small bag and looked for a solution.
Shang Jinglan watched for a long time and finally saw a piece of news about Chunlan with a dragon character: "The four orphans of Chunlan, namely the four kings of Chunlan, are Song Mei, Jiyuan, Longzi, and Wanzi. As long as the teacher can The other three of the four orphan products I bought can completely replace the Dragon-Character Chunlan and make up for this mistake."
Pan Xiaoxian asked hurriedly: "Who owns the other three orphan Chunlan."
Shang Jinglan took the brochure and kept flipping through it. She couldn't find the owners of the other three orphan spring orchids until the end.
Shang Jinglan said awkwardly: "It is mentioned in the booklet that there are three kinds of unique Chunlan in history and the Dragon-shaped Chunlan is called the Four Heavenly Kings of Chunlan."
Pan Xiaoxian was desperate again and couldn't sit still anxiously.
in history?
