After Huaixiu sought revenge, he did not rush to Tongzhou immediately, but went to the prison cell of Dali Temple.

She is from a public family, so she has this convenience.

The hundreds of people in Qian Desheng's workshop were kept in several cells. When she came in, Xiaoren recognized her at a glance.

"Huaixiu, Huaixiu..." Xiaoren lay on the iron railing, crying, "You are finally here, you have to save me, I don't want to die yet..."

Looking at the disheveled Xiaoren, Huaixiu's heart ached. She held his hand and asked, "Are you okay? Have you been tortured?"

Xiaoren shook his head and cried, "But my uncle was whipped by them, and Cui'er and my aunt were all imprisoned."

Huaixiu nodded, "I understand."

"Huaixiu must rescue us. We don't know anything."

"Don't worry, I'll go see my uncle first." Huaixiu couldn't say anything more to Xiaoren. Time was limited. She quickly found Qian Desheng in another cell. Although he had been beaten, he was still conscious.

Huaixiu stuffed the money and asked the jailer to open the cell door.

"Uncle Qian..." Uncle Qian seemed like a different person after not seeing him for a month. Of course, how good could he be after he was in a prison cell?

"Huaixiu..." Qian Desheng held Huaixiu's hand tightly and was too excited to speak.

Huaixiu first gave him a bottle of wound medicine and said, briefly, "Tell me about the iron nails."

Qian Desheng paused for a moment, "The ship collapsed. It was said that there was a problem with the nails in the workshop, but every time it is delivered, the shipping company inspects it. If there is really a problem, can Yongchang accept it?"

"Who is the person who inspects the goods in Yongchang?"

Qian Desheng said, "His name is Han Biao, and I have been friends for several years. He was the one who took the lead in our cooperation with Yongchang, but the people in the Yamen said that he escaped and left a letter saying that it was me.

I gave him money and asked him to sign the inspection form, but I was...I couldn't explain it clearly even though I was speechless."

Huaixiu nodded, "Do you know how to find him?"

"I only know that his family lives in Chaoyangmen, Beijing. He usually works at Yongchang Boat Company, but every time he comes home, he comes to me for a drink."

Huaixiu asked again, "Why did the Yamen search those inferior iron nails in the workshop?"

Qian Desheng said, "I don't know what's going on. Our iron ore is all high quality, so it's impossible to make that kind of iron nails."

“Where does iron ore come from?”

"Because the order was submitted by the Ministry of Industry, and the iron ore was purchased from the Mining Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, the people from the Ministry of Industry said that we stole copper-added iron ore to replace the best iron ore. This is a huge injustice.

, even if you lend me some courage, I wouldn’t dare to do this.”

Huaixiu probably had an idea, "Where are the workshop's account books?"

"It was taken away by the Yamen." He said and held Huaixiu's hand tightly, "Xiu'er, you have to believe my uncle. I don't dare to do anything illegal."

"The time has come." There was a jailer outside urging him. Huaixiu comforted Qian Desheng and said, "I will definitely find out about this matter."

Not long after, Huaixiu came out of the cell.

When Emperor Qing returned to Beijing, he was greeted by hundreds of civil and military officials, and the people lined the streets to welcome him.

In the Taiji Hall, all the officials shouted "Long Live Long Live" three times, all of them were happy, praising His Majesty for returning from the trip to Xiangshan, looking more energetic and like an immortal. Emperor Qing smiled and asked about the affairs of the court according to the rules, and all the officials made exceptions one by one.

They all talked about peace in the world and the well-being of the people. Of course, there were also snow disasters and thefts, which were all handled by relevant personnel and handled lightly. Emperor Qing was very satisfied and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

It is the duty of ministers to show their loyalty to all officials. However, those who sing loudly are all Liu Jing's party. Of course, there are also those who are unwilling to rely on them. They are either soft-spoken or dormant and do not dare to come forward.

"Why did we hear that there was a problem with the ship built by the Ministry of Industry?" Emperor Qing asked seemingly unintentionally, his voice was light, but his unbridled and angry imperial aura was enough to make everyone afraid to express his anger.

All the ministers lowered their heads. Yang Lian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, bravely made an exception and said, "Your Majesty, Dali Temple has found out that the iron nails made by a workshop were not up to standard, which caused the masts of five ships to collapse."

The ship's hull was damaged, but it is being repaired now and will be completed on time in the spring."

At this time, Pei Yun, the minister of Dali Temple, also made an exception and said, "That's it. I will handle it according to the law of the country."

Emperor Qing frowned and asked, "Is there any lack of supervision from the Ministry of Industry?"

Yang Lian knelt down to apologize, sweat dripping from her forehead.

At this time, Liu Jing on the side whispered in Emperor Qing's ear, and Emperor Qing responded, "In that case, you two should step back."

If Yang Lian was granted amnesty, she and Pei Yun looked at each other before retreating.

Zhuge Ming smiled faintly at the bottom of the stairs.

"The big ceremony is coming soon, has the Ministry of Ceremonies made any arrangements?"

Next, Emperor Qing asked about the sacrifice, and the relevant officials made an exception...

At the end of the court, Emperor Qing went to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay his respects, and then moved into his "Tao Temple". All affairs in the court were handed over to the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Liu Jing's residence was bustling almost every day, and this time he returned, it was even more so. However, he did not greet the visitors until late at night. The servant took a gift list and read it to Liu Jing one by one.

Listen, Liu Jing was lying on a golden nanmu soft couch, holding a small purple sand pot in one hand, listening lazily. After hearing the gift from Shopkeeper Feng of Yongchang, he couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, "Among the many gifts.

, he is still the most special.”

The servant laughed and said, "These things are very strange, but I have never heard of them."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "They are all foreign things. Of course you have never heard of them. And the pair of canaries are very rare. I saw them when I was on my mission to North Korea, but they were not available in the country. North Korea gave the Queen Mother a pair of canaries."

Yes, it is still kept in the back garden, and the Queen Mother likes it very much."

"I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Feng would be so capable."

Just as he was talking, a slave came to report, "Prince Ning is here."

Liu Jing's eyes dimmed, and the servant looked at his face and said, "The master is missing?"

Liu Jing thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in."

The servant said, "A few days ago, Wang Fang came to tell me that Prince Ning asked the Wucheng Division soldiers and horse battalions to send troops to intercept the six-door tent. Is he retaliating? Originally, this leather tent was sold to Prince Ning.

Later, because the company 'Deyuan' offered a higher price, I transferred it to 'Deyuan', fearing that King Ning would not be convinced."

"He dares." Liu Jing snorted coldly, "Since ancient times, goods have been sold and bought, and the one with the highest price gets it. Doesn't he, Prince Ning, not understand this? Let him in first and see what he says."

After a while, Zhu Yu came in. His servants were carrying a big box. Zhu Yu stepped forward and saluted, "My nephew has met my father-in-law."

Liu Jing glanced at him and said, "So it's the prince." He didn't ask him to get up.

Zhu Yu was not angry, but clapped his hands, and his servant opened the box. Liu Jing felt a golden light in front of his eyes. When he heard the servant whispering, he slowly opened his eyes, but saw that the box contained a

After putting on the glass chandelier, I couldn't help but stand up and walk closer to the box to look at it carefully.

When Liu Jing raised his head, his expression changed.

Zhu Yu smiled and said, "This is my father's way of honoring my father-in-law."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Prince Ning has taken the trouble." After saying that, he stared at the chandelier intently and said twice, "This is bigger than the one in the palace."

Zhu Yu smiled and said, "It's just as long as my father-in-law likes it." He took the opportunity to say, "My nephew did not handle the leather account properly, but there is a reason for my nephew to do this."

"Oh?" Liu Jing raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Yu said, "My nephew knew that the governor of Yunzhou had made two false accusations and participated in the border army's poor leather armor production, but my father-in-law stopped him. However, the six doors found out about it and they have been investigating secretly. My nephew

I was also afraid that my father-in-law would be moved, so..." Zhu Yu took out another account book from his arms and handed it over, "My nephew has already made arrangements."

Liu Jing glanced at the account book and said disdainfully, "Even if they find this account book, I won't be afraid."

Zhu Yu said, "My father-in-law is not afraid, but Zhuge Ming is too difficult to deal with. Why should my father-in-law bother to deal with him?"

Liu Jing thought for a while, nodded, and then smiled again, "My nephew is really thoughtful in doing things, no wonder he is favored by King Ning." Then he motioned to the servant to accept the account book, and threw it into the brazier without even looking at it.

Inside, Zhu Yu looked at the gradually rising flames and twitched the corner of his mouth.
