Xie Zhan had just come out of Lu Mansion and returned to Xie's house. As soon as he changed into his regular clothes and was about to go to the study, he heard the clan member responsible for guarding the door came to report that the Zhao mother and son had sent their eldest wife back.
Xie Zhan turned around and went to the second gate to greet him.
Xie Zhan knew very well that his reputation in the Southland would not be very good in the next period of time.
As the saying goes, among all evils, sexual immorality is the first, and when it comes to deeds, one does not care about one's heart; among all the good deeds, filial piety comes first, and when one considers one's heart, one does not care about one's deeds.
He deserves to never leave Zhao Yutan and the Zhao family.
Therefore, Zhao's existence can somewhat restore his reputation. Let him become a controversial figure instead of one-sided criticism and denial.
Zhao Yutan was still in a daze until her mother and brother sent her to Xie's house.
Xie Zhan personally received Luo Shi and Zhao Minglou, and his attitude was the same as before.
Zhao Yutan sat aside, completely silent.
Xie Zhan's eyes flashed when he saw her like this.
"What's wrong with Atan? Is she uncomfortable? Or is she tired?"
Luo Shi sighed, "Azhan, she is a pregnant woman and her body gets tired easily. When she is tired, she doesn't want to talk or deal with others. Please be considerate. When we were shopping just now, she said she seemed to have seen Qin Sheng. I said she must be too tired. Dazzled."
Xie Zhan nodded and responded, "Okay, mother-in-law, I know."
At this time, Xie Zhan was very excited. He really couldn't find anything after running through iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.
Xie Zhan didn’t expect that it was Qin Sheng who came to Nandi!
He had speculated before that someone was coming from Liaodong County, and the person who came was not a small person.
His mother-in-law thought that his wife was dazzled when she saw Qin Sheng, but Xie Zhan felt that it was not dazzled. That person should be Qin Sheng!
At noon, on the main street of Nandi, the imperial envoy's guard of honor cleared the way. Zuo Anmin, holding the imperial edict, led a group of officials to Xie's house.
Xie Zhan led the Xie clan to kneel down to welcome him.
Zuo Anmin stepped forward and said, "Xie Zhan, the leader of the Xie clan, accepts the order!"
Xie Zhan said loudly, "Xie Zhan, the sinner, accept the order!"
Zuo Anmin opened the imperial edict and said, "I have been entrusted to the emperor by heaven. The edict says: Xie Zhan, the leader of the Xie family, lived in a bad place, but he still did not forget to share the worries of the king. Now he has made great contributions to the country. Therefore, all the previous crimes of the Xie family are pardoned. The Xie family will start from now on." , restore the status of a good citizen. I appreciate this and thank you for your kindness!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Thank you, Patriarch, please get up."
"Thank you, Master Zuo."
Zuo Anmin nodded slightly. When he left the imperial city, he brought two secret decrees with him. These two imperial edicts were the emperor's commendations to Xie Zhan.
The first imperial edict was an edict of pardon. Xie Zhan reported meritoriously, and the emperor specifically pardoned the Xie family as sinners and turned them into civilians.
In fact, this imperial edict should have been issued when he arrived in the Southland, but at that time, in order not to expose the head of the family and to avoid unnecessary complications, it was not issued immediately.
What he did was okay. Before he left Chang'an, the emperor allowed him the right to act expediently.
The second imperial edict requires the head of the family to fulfill his previous promise to the emperor and solve all the problems caused by the disaster in the south before it can be promulgated.
When Xie Zhan and Zuo Anmin stood talking under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, the Xie family members and the officers and soldiers of the government wisely retreated.
Zuo Anmin asked in a low voice, "Master, is it time to start solving the problem of the victims in the Southland?" After solving the disaster in the Southland, he could also take out the second imperial edict.
During this period, a series of plans implemented by the family leader finally came to an end. Fortunately, the disaster situation in Southland has not worsened or developed in an uncontrollable direction.
Xie Zhan said, "Don't worry, I will start to deal with this matter after I catch a few little mice."
Lu Songli's people have been ruining his affairs, and Xie Zhan has had enough. He couldn't spare any time before, but now he just has time to deal with it!
If Lu Songli were here, she would definitely say that the situation is too small, right?
If Xie Zhan was really serious about solving the problems of the victims in the South, she, Lu Songli, would never hold him back.
In the face of major issues of right and wrong, she was willing to put aside her personal grudges for a few days and wait until he solved the problem before picking it up again.
Look, she is so generous and open-minded.
The Xie family was pardoned by the emperor due to the meritorious service of the patriarch Xie Zhan, and the news spread that they had turned from criminals into good citizens.
At this point, the hidden dangers of the Xie family have been eliminated, and the property and interests they stole from the Chen family have become legal and effective, and they have firmly become one of the major forces in the South.
Gu Huaisheng also received this news.
At this time, he was unraveling the previous chaos.
The previous situation was so foggy that it was difficult to understand.
But at this point, he only needs to see who is the biggest beneficiary. Starting from the tail, the whole situation of the game can be traced.
At the end of the analysis, he came to two conclusions. First, Xie Zhan is the mastermind of the chaos in Nandi. Second, the Xie clan and the Lu clan have formed an alliance, and they are on the same side.
At this time, the Xie family’s jewelry and silver shop, the Lu family’s cloth shop, and the clothing pavilion had not yet opened.
At this time, the news came that the Xie family was pardoned, which further supported his speculation.
There is a saying in the imperial edict that Xie Zhan will be pardoned only if he has made great contributions to the country. But what kind of merit is not stated clearly? What kind of merit is it cannot be clearly stated? Vague words are very problematic.
Thinking of something, Gu Huaisheng immediately ordered down, "Come, prepare your horses, I'm going to visit Ji Daxiu!"
When Qin Sheng returned to the villa, he was completely unhappy.
Xue Xu saw him and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" He went out for a trip and came back with a long face?
"When I came back, I met an unlucky person, and we might be exposed." Qin Sheng said dullly.
"what happened?"
"Is such that……"
Xue Xu listened. When he heard Xie Zhan's wife Zhao Yutan calling out his name, he paused while waving his fan. Was Qin Sheng exposed? It's a bit troublesome.
Xue Xu lowered his head and pondered. Qin Sheng's identity as a criminal was a problem, but it was not a big problem if he did not leave Pingzhou.
Now that he is found in the south, he is defying the king's law.
Now that all the major city gates are blocked, what they are most afraid of now is that if they are caught by Xie Zhan's people, the evidence will be conclusive and the fun will be great.
He had to find a way to restrain Xie Zhan. No matter what, we have to take Mr. Qin Liu back safely.
Xue Xu, who was racking his brains at this time, didn't know that Lu Songli had already been prepared for this situation before they set off to the south, and even gave Qin Sheng a tips bag.
While Xue Xu was thinking, he unconsciously pulled out a beard, which made him hiss in pain.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Qin Sheng still had a pulled face.
"Okay, don't be so depressed." When I went out, I was able to run into my ex-fiancée. No one else was so lucky.
Qin Sheng ignored him.
"Don't worry, you just looked at her. Qin Liufu will not dislike you."
Qin Sheng:......
