Chapter 129 Long term plan
The young man put down his chopsticks and said, "Bring people in."
Qi Shaoang really wanted to pass the news back.
"But the man is already dead. He committed suicide by taking poison." Gui Que said with his head lowered.
Qi Shaoang actually raised a dead soldier?
The person who can commit suicide by taking poison under Gui Que must be someone with extraordinary skills.
The young man once again became worried about the current situation of Lan Country.
"Did you find anything on him?" the boy asked.
Gui Que handed over a bamboo tube.
The young man was shocked when he saw the pattern on the outside of the bamboo tube. The pattern on the bamboo tube was exactly the same as the one found by the Madam of Xiaoxiang Hall.
Is it...
The bamboo tube was sealed with mud. The young man opened the bamboo tube and pulled out a piece of paper.
But there was nothing written on the paper, it was just a blank piece of paper.
The young man turned over and over but couldn't see anything.
But he was sure that there must be some message conveyed here.
"What does Qi Shao'ang mean by asking someone to send a wordless letter, and who is it to?" The young man frowned and muttered to himself.
"Sir, this man is not going to deliver a letter to Qi Shangshu." The young man suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Gui Que.
"I'm here to deliver a letter to Qi Shangshu." Gui Que continued.
"What are you talking about? What's coming and going?" Li Qian complained.
"I mean the person who took the poison just now came to see Qi Shangshu, not sent by Qi Shangshu." Gui Que explained again.
"You mean, this letter is for Qi Shangshu?" The young man raised the white paper in his hand.
Gui Que nodded.
The young man's eyes suddenly shrank, "Does Qi Shaoang know that someone came to deliver a letter to him?"
Gui Que shook his head, "I don't know."
"Then you take care of it and go on..."
"Master, Qi Shangshu is here to see you." The young man was interrupted by Li Qian before he could finish his words.
The boy quickly stuffed the white paper into the bamboo tube, and then stuffed the bamboo tube into his arms.
"Let him come in." The young man said calmly.
There was no emotion on his face.
Qi Shaoang walked in with a booklet.
"Fourth Young Master has just woken up and is having his meal. How about I come back later." Qi Shao'ang yawned.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep since arriving in Liao'an County.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Qi. Let's sit down and have something to eat together. After that, you can go and take a nap."
Qi Shangshu sat down in front of the young man unceremoniously, "Thank you so much, Fourth Young Master."
Although he is in charge of this stall, he cannot treat him like a donkey. If he wants the donkey to run away, he must feed it.
He's working overtime, so it's not too much to eat.
Qi Shao'ang devoured his food voraciously before he said: "Fourth Young Master, this case is very involved and needs to be decided by the Emperor himself. I have already written the memorial. How about I go back with you..."
The young man put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "No, the case here is quite difficult. I can just go back by myself."
"Also, the Dan Kingdom has bribed so many officials from Liao'an County, and the court has not heard anything about it. I'm afraid the court..." The young man glanced at Qi Shao'ang and did not continue.
Qi Shaoang pondered for a moment, "I will check it carefully."
The young man didn't expect to be able to tell anything from Qi Shaoang's reaction with just one sentence.
How can he be a person without scheming if he can achieve the position of Minister?
The young man nodded, picked up the zhezi on the table and stood up, "I will go back and hand over Master Qi's zhezi."
Li Qian and Gui Que picked up their things and followed the young man outside.
The boy took out the teleportation talisman and told his sister to ask Shi Long to pick him up.
Not long after they arrived outside the city, Shilong also arrived.
The young man really sighed at the speed of this stone dragon. It would be very convenient if Shilong could carry him when he went out to do errands in the future.
But he shook his head again. He was a little greedy. Shilong belonged to his sister, how could he covet her sister's things.
When the boy and the others arrived in the capital, they were catching up with the ministers attending the morning court.
It was not until the end of the dynasty that the young man went to see the emperor.
When the young man saw the emperor leaning on the soft couch and drinking medicine, he bowed and said, "Father, have you been feeling better recently?"
"Ze Yan, why are you back so soon? Can't you come back as soon as the end of the month?"
Ye Zeyan did not answer his father's question, but handed over a yellow package.
Emperor Lan Gan glanced up at the young man and drank the last sip of medicine in the bowl.
"Father, you'd better take a look at this document first. The Minister of Punishment asked me to help him present it. He can't get away from it."
The emperor frowned slightly, "The case in Liaoning County was found out so quickly?"
Ye Zeyan was speechless.
The emperor opened the fold, and his body that was still half-reclined immediately sat upright.
There was a knot between his eyebrows, and the hand holding the memorial was shaking slightly with anger.
Finally, he slammed the memorial onto the table next to him.
"Isn't Qi Shao'ang investigating a case in Liao'an? Why did he go to Yongqing Mansion again?"
The young man then told everything about Yongqing Mansion. Of course, he didn't tell everything. He didn't tell anything about Shilong.
Then he took out two more ledgers from his arms. This was the whereabouts of the money that Fang Hongyuan had collected. He did not give it to Qi Shao'ang.
The emperor looked at the account book in his hand without saying anything for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, "It's all because of my poor health."
"To inform my father, I have found someone who can cure my father's illness. However, her request is that Fang Hongyuan be punished in accordance with the law before she is willing to come to the capital to treat my father's illness."
Emperor Lan Qian shook his head, "I have been looking for medical advice over the years, and even the doctors at the imperial hospital couldn't do anything. I'm afraid this is what fate is, but..."
There was a hint of unwillingness and regret in Emperor Lan Qian's eyes. He failed to govern the Lan Kingdom well, and he was a little embarrassed to meet his ancestors.
"Father, the good doctor I found this time can definitely cure my father's illness. I saw with my own eyes that he healed people who had already lost their breath."
When Emperor Lan Gan heard what Ye Zeyan said, a rare glint of hope flashed in his eyes.
"Whether or not the good doctor Ze Yanxun can cure my illness, my father is very pleased."
But after saying these words, the hope in the emperor's eyes dimmed again. The fourth prince's filial piety was filial piety, but he was not interested in the throne. What should he do?
Emperor Lan Qian opened the folding book on the table again and pondered for a long time, "The magistrate of Yongqing Prefecture must kill him, but the Sheng family may not be able to do anything for the time being, so we have to think about it in the long term."
Ye Zeyan knew this would be the result, and he could understand his father's decision.
The queen's father, Duke Sheng Ming, is stationed at the border. The queen's eldest brother, Sheng Wenbai, is the Minister of War. The Sheng family holds the military power of the Lan Kingdom. If they want to move the queen, the Sheng family must not raise troops to rebel.
Therefore, long-term planning is also a last resort.
The emperor sat behind the dragon writing desk and was about to draft an edict when a voice came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, please take your medicine today..."
The emperor quickly put away the papers on the desk.
