My father is Jiajing

Chapter 298 Yan Shifan represents justice
Inside Luo Longwen's residence.

Led by the gatekeeper Luo Longwen, Cao San finally entered the courtyard through the back door. As he entered the house, Cao San couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Back door, back door, your whole family will be forced to go through the back door from now on!"

Just as Cao San was muttering and complaining, the concierge who was leading the way seemed to have sensed something and looked back at Cao San, "What did you just say?"

Cao San immediately showed a simple and honest smile, "I didn't say anything. It's just that this is my first time entering your house, and I'm surprised."

The gatekeeper listened to Cao San's words and smiled complacently: "In the capital, except for the houses of the princes and ministers, no one's yard can compare with our master's."

When Luo Longwen said these words, his face was filled with great pride, as if such a big and beautiful yard was the same as his.

Soon after being led through two layers of screen walls and two corridors, Cao San was finally brought to Luo Longwen.

At this time, Luo Longwen was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Although he had never seen Cao San, he still asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Cao San looked at the noble master in splendid clothes in front of him, and he bowed to Luo Longwen cleverly: "The humble Cao San greets Master Luo!"

Luo Longwen listened to Cao San's greetings and watched Cao San's exaggerated movements like an opera singer. He could not help but ask again, "What happened?"

Cao San acted stupid and asked, "What's wrong, Master? What happened?"

When Luo Longwen heard what Cao San said, he was immediately anxious and angry, and hurriedly said: "That's what you came to say."

Cao San suddenly realized: "Oh"

But then Cao San showed an embarrassed and honest expression, lowered his head and looked at his toes and said: "Master, our boss said there will be a reward for reporting the news, but I haven't seen the reward yet, so..."

Cao San twisted his fingers and made a money-rubbing motion.

Luo Longwen was so anxious that he was about to get angry, but he didn't expect that this damn bitch would actually talk to him about money.

But Luo Longwen had no choice but to let Cao San control him like this.

Luo Longwen reached into his sleeve pocket twice and pulled out a silver note with a face value of fifty taels of silver.

Looking at the number on the banknote, Cao San recognized at a glance that it was from the Jianghuai salt merchant Dachangyuan. Like the Dashengyuan in Shanxi, it was hard currency that could be used to circulate money throughout the world.

However, it is also very obvious, especially for someone like Cao San. This note looks like a large note with a face value of fifty taels, but in fact, if you really want to exchange it for real gold and silver at the counter, you can only get more than forty-nine silver points, and the rest is the profit that the bank wants to keep.

Cao San carefully took the banknote and said with resentment, "Master, I have to pay for this banknote myself."

Luo Longwen was really driven to death by Cao San.

But Luo Longwen didn't have any other change on him, so he looked at the doorman and said, "You, you, you, go and give this guy, what's his name, one or two ounces of silver to make up for it."

The concierge looked at Cao San reluctantly, and finally took out a piece of silver from his pocket. Cao San grabbed it and weighed it in his hand. It felt like it was more than one or two taels. A happy smile immediately appeared on his face. "Thank you, sir. I wish you a son soon and may you have a long life."

Luo Longwen was in no mood to listen to these auspicious words. He asked Cao San again, "Let's get down to business. What happened?"

Cao San put the silver in his dog-skin felt hat, then put the hat on tightly and said, "It's dead, dead, more than a dozen sheep froze to death!"

"Sheep?" Luo Longwen was stunned for a moment, obviously surprised by this word.

Cao San said, "Yes, now there is also a big official who is surrounding that place under the banner of 'supervision' and won't let anyone get close. That's why my boss asked me to come and report the news."

After hearing this, Luo Longwen couldn't help but imagine that the sheep statement must have been made up by Hai Rui and his men in order to cover up their guilt. But if it really was a sheep, why would they have to mobilize so many troops to surround it and prevent people from getting close?
So this sheep must be a human.

Luo Longwen said, "Okay, okay, Yang is fine, Yang is right, you go down first and tell your boss Li not to show up in the capital for the next month."

Cao San hummed excitedly, "Thank you, Master."

After Luo Longwen sent Cao San away, his mood immediately became excited, just like last night when he enjoyed the wonderful snow.

Luo Longwen quickly tidied himself up, then got on a carriage and impatiently came to the east building of Yan Shifan's villa.

After entering the East Building, Luo Longwen was immediately brought by Yan Kuan to Yan Shifan.

"Greetings, young Lord."

Luo Longwen was in a good mood and bowed to Yan Shifan.

When Yan Shifan saw Luo Longwen finally arrived, he couldn't help but stand up and ask, "What happened?"

Luo Longwen smiled and said, "Of course it worked!"

After hearing the word "It's done", Yan Shifan couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"Good, good, very good, very good! You did a great job!"

Yan Shifan was so excited that he shouted "good" several times and praised Luo Longwen generously.

Luo Longwen was in a very good mood because of Yan Shifan's praise.

Luo Longwen said, "Young Lord, Hai Hei Lian and his men are still trying to cover up the truth. They have surrounded those poor workers and civilians who froze to death, and even claimed to the public that more than a dozen sheep were frozen to death. This is a serious crime of disregarding life and concealing the truth!"

Yan Shifan laughed and said, "Oh? There is such a thing? It seems that Hai Heimian is not as upright as the legend says. He would even conceal the truth and disregard lives. It seems that he and Wang Youzhao are already birds of a feather."

"It is time for me to clean up the mess in the imperial court and restore a bright and clear sky to the capital!"

Yan Shifan also did not forget to flatter himself, as if he was the good man who could uphold justice for the people.

So after confirming Luo Longwen's news, Yan Shifan immediately had someone change his official uniform.

Then he hurriedly wrote a memorial to the emperor, impeaching Shuntian Prefecture's Prince Yi Youzhao for inaction. Hai Rui disregarded his life and concealed the truth, colluding with Wang Youzhao to hide the deaths of more than a dozen workers and laborers who were working on the expansion of the capital's outer city.

Such a heartless thing actually happened under the feet of the emperor. It is truly outrageous!
Therefore, in order to uphold justice and seek justice for the innocent and pitiful workers and civilians who died, Yan Shifan decided to submit a petition to the court, impeaching Wang Youzhao and Hai Rui for neglecting their duties, disregarding their lives, and attempting to deceive the emperor!

At this moment, Yan Shifan represented justice!
