Chapter 783 [Under the Brocade 79]
Yan Shifan actually dared to use the name of Lord Sima to excavate mineral resources in Hangzhou on a large scale. Once the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar and the whole city of Hangzhou was talking about it.
When the four officials of the Salt Transport Bureau heard the news, they came to Yan Shifan in fear and begged him to protect them. However, Yan Shifan paid no attention to their request and did not even look at them.
On the other hand, Dong Qisheng gritted his teeth during the interrogation and refused to confess who the real mastermind behind the grain case was. Seeing this, Wu Shouxu made a decision after careful consideration and planned to escort Dong Qisheng back to Beijing, thinking that this way he could rest assured.
However, Lu Yi and Xu Zhihan held different opinions. They knew that even if Dong Qisheng was successfully escorted to Beijing, it might not completely solve the problem. After all, since Japan was able to support Mao Da Dang to stir up trouble, it could also support other people with evil intentions.
At this moment, Lu Yi found a bird gun from somewhere, and excitedly brought it back to his residence, saying that he wanted to conduct in-depth research on it.
At the same time, Yuan Jinxia accidentally saw Shangguan Xi concentrating on learning needlework, and she couldn't help but feel happy for Yang Yue. She hurried forward and told Shangguan Xi with a smile that although Yang Yue was a little dull, he was kind-hearted and upright. Finally, she also specifically reminded Shangguan Xi not to get angry because of Yang Yue's occasional slow performance.
Not long after, when Lu Yi carefully studied the Japanese bird gun, he was surprised to find that some of its parts were exactly the same as the parts he had found in Hangzhou before! At this point, he finally realized that the reason why Yan Shifan took the risk to mine in Hangzhou was to use the ore to make this powerful weapon.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, a shocking news came - Dong Qisheng died of poison after eating in the cell! After learning this news, Lu Yi's face instantly became solemn. He keenly realized that there must have been spies from the enemy in this mansion. Moreover, Dong Qisheng's unexpected death will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions, thus affecting the development of many subsequent matters.
Zhai Lanye seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and there has been no news since then. Yan Shifan was extremely worried, and immediately ordered his men to search for her everywhere, and issued a death order: no matter if she is dead or alive, she must be brought back!
At the same time, the framer reported to Yan Shifan with great trepidation that the painting he had obtained before was actually just a copy. After that, the framer carefully presented a book of his own experience gained from years of painstaking research on this painting. After learning the truth, Yan Shifan was immediately furious, and he was extremely angry at Huang Yu for giving him this fake painting.
On the other hand, Lu Yi reminded Wu Shouxu earnestly that with his current abilities and condition, he might not be qualified for his current position.
Lu Yi really didn't want to see the situation where Wu Shouxu was suddenly dismissed, which led to the chaos of the army and the turmoil of the situation. Not only that, Lu Yi also specifically instructed Wu Shouxu to find a rare beast and present it to the current emperor.
As expected, Huang Yu was impeached by the ministers in the court not long after. The emperor was furious when he heard about this and immediately issued an order to revoke Huang Yu's official position and transferred him to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.
At this point, Yan Shifan finally succeeded in getting his revenge, but what troubled him was that Yang Mo, who was about to take over Huang Yu's position, was a real threat. Yan Shifan secretly made up his mind that he would never let Yang Mo return to the capital smoothly.
After careful consideration, Wu Shouxu decided to write a memorial to present the white deer he had found with great difficulty to the emperor. However, at this moment, Lu Yi stopped him and said, "Sir, you must not write this memorial yourself. In my opinion, you should find someone with outstanding literary talent to write it, and make sure that this memorial can deeply attract the emperor's attention and make him love it."
When Wu Shouxu heard this, he thought it made a lot of sense, so he hurriedly did as Lu Yi said.
In the end, when the emperor received this carefully crafted memorial, he was delighted and immediately ordered Lu Yi to escort the extremely precious white deer to the capital to meet him.
Luo Wenlong returned to the capital with a trepidation. As soon as he got home, he lit a fire without hesitation and threw all the important evidence, such as letters and account books, that could prove that Yan Shifan had correspondence with Mao Dadang into the sea of fire.
Watching the blazing flames gradually devour the evidence, Luo Wenlong was secretly pleased with himself: "Humph! Now, no matter how powerful Lu Yi is, he will never be able to find any clues."
At the same time, Lu Yi, dressed in a majestic Jinyiwei uniform, led a team of well-trained Jinyiwei and escorted the precious white deer into the capital. And Youyou, who came with them, turned around and went straight to Yan's house after arriving in the capital.
On the other side, Jin Xia happily took Lin Ling on the road home. The two talked and laughed along the way, as if they had forgotten all their troubles. When they finally returned home, they found that Uncle Gai had already gone ahead and moved into Yang Chengwan's house.
Just as Lu Yi was about to enter the palace to meet the emperor, he happened to meet Huang Yu's two sons kneeling at the palace gate, pleading for their father with tears streaming down their faces.
While crying and complaining about their father's grievances, they looked at Lu Yi eagerly and begged, "Sir Lu, please help my father, he really was wronged!" However, faced with this situation, Lu Yi just frowned slightly and said nothing more.
At this time, Aunt Yuan was selling her freshly baked tofu on the street. Suddenly, she saw her daughter Yuan Jinxia, who had not returned for a long time, appear in front of her, and she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Yuan Jinxia hurried forward to hold her mother's hand and introduced Lin Ling to her: "Mom, this is my dear aunt. We came back this time just to accompany you!"
Afterwards, the emperor personally ordered that the white deer be handed over to Lan Qingxuan for care. Lan Qingxuan carefully took the white deer, his face full of joy.
After everything was arranged, he invited Lu Yi to his residence, and the two sat opposite each other, sipping tea leisurely. Lan Qingxuan enthusiastically told Lu Yi about his recent interesting stories, his words full of excitement.
Unconsciously, the topic turned to Yan Shifan and Huang Yu. Lan Qingxuan sighed softly and said, "Alas, Yan Shifan is determined to kill Huang Yu! Even if his two sons cry their hearts out, no one dares to stand up and offend Yan's party." At this point, he couldn't help but shook his head, his expression solemn.
