After the two of them left, a man dressed in casual clothes soon came in.

However, the boss was knowledgeable and immediately recognized that this was a soldier officer.

Unlike before, now as long as he had not committed any crime, he had nothing to be afraid of. The waiter next to him immediately served the plainclothes soldier a cup of tea.

"It's so cold, please warm yourself up, sir."

After taking a sip of hot tea, the soldier realized that his boss had probably recognized him, and he was too lazy to beat around the bush.

"What did that girl buy just now?"

"They bought all the swallow feather brocade and nothing else."

"Oh, by the way, they also asked me where to buy the Gas-killing Wind Lamp, and I told them the Ministry of Industry's exhibition."

"Do you have any other questions, sir?"

The boss smiled.

The soldier took out a piece of silver that was a little bigger than the tip of his finger and put it on the table, which was about half a dime.

But it is enough to thank the boss for his cooperation.

Xiao Yuanshuang sat in the carriage, thinking about tonight's palace banquet.

Then I heard the maid report, "Princess, the road ahead is surrounded by soldiers, we can't pass, should we wait or take a detour back to the palace?"

Xiao Yuanshuang lifted the door curtain and saw Qi Yuan riding on a tall horse from afar.

With him was a man with half-gray hair, wearing official uniform, but his attire did not look like that of an official.

This Qing Kingdom is full of strangeness.

"Go and see what happened."

"Yes."

This shop is at the end of Changle Street. Although the shop is not big, Changle Street is one of the streets with the best business in Beijing.

The monthly fair and the annual lantern festival are all here.

At this time, in addition to the officers and soldiers, there were also people who were watching the show.

"Where is your boss?" Qi Yuan glanced around.

The shop assistant was trembling with fear, "The boss... The boss is not here..."

Ah.

Qi Yuan waved the whip.

"It's sealed. All the people and items in the shop are intact."

"The accounts are sealed."

"Look out for all the customers who have bought things in your store since we opened it."

"As for your boss, haha, the monk may run away, but the temple cannot. When I go to the official website to find the land deed, his name will naturally be included."

The soldiers behind him were well-trained and quickly spread out and rushed into the shop.

The leading clerk got anxious when he saw this. "Sir, Sir! Why are you sealing up our shop without even giving us an explanation?"

The little maidservant who was watching the fun in the crowd also curled her lips.

Yes.

The officials of Qing Kingdom are really overbearing and unreasonable.

Qi Yuan curled his lips, jumped off the horse, and lifted the boy's chin with the whip.

"Master? You call me Master?"

"It seems that he is not from the capital."

"Your store has been open for a while, and I've patrolled the city at least twice, and you don't know me."

At this moment, the onlookers suddenly realized.

"Yes! Lord Qi always rides on a large horse when he goes on patrol. Ordinary people may not recognize him, but this street is a key patrol area."

"Everyone in the shops on this street knows Mr. Qi."

"This fellow doesn't know Lord Qi, there is indeed something wrong!"

"Master Qi is really amazing."

"It's definitely not a small matter. Didn't you see that the Imperial Master has come along..."

National Division?

The little maid looked at Li Xuanji and silently memorized Li Xuanji's appearance in her heart.

After controlling everyone, Qi Yuan and Li Xuanji went into the shop to check.

Sure enough, I found that kind of chestnut in a row of spice jars.

Li Xuanji held the can and asked the kitchen boy, "Do you know what this is?"

"No...I don't know. The boss just said it was a spice."

The guys' foreheads were covered with sweat. They had already realized that, if nothing unexpected happened, they had committed a crime...

Qi Yuan tightened the whip in his hand and said, "Take them all back."

At the same time, they decided to check the people in the city again before the New Year. If the poisonous millet from Yun Country could have sneaked in, who knows what else might have sneaked in.

We must also strengthen the efforts of guarding the city gates to check vehicles and horses.

The most important thing is to continue investigating along this line. If we can find anything related to Yun Country...

The maid reported the latest news to Xiao Yuanshuang.

"National Master..."

The image of the man with half silver hair flashed through Xiao Yuanshuang's mind.

Qi Yuan and Li Xuanji seemed tireless and started to interrogate the people as soon as they returned. When they took out the land deeds from the Ministry of Revenue, they both frowned.

The owner of this shop turned out to be a family member of the Minister of Personnel.

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows.

interesting.

He reported this to Li Xuanji, who just laughed.

"It is impossible for that old fellow Zhang Yuqing to make such an obvious mistake. Someone must have framed him."

Li Xuanji was very sure that Zhang Yuqing was so cunning, and to sit in the position of Minister of Personnel, he had paid efforts beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Moreover, the person was chosen by the emperor himself, so Zhang Yuqing would definitely not do such a thing.

As for Zhang Yuqing's family...

That is even less likely.

Because Zhang Yuqing's family has a story that outsiders don't know.

Choosing Zhang Yuqing's family as the people to frame him was a wrong choice.

Li Xuanji's laughter left Qi Yuan puzzled.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to report to His Majesty first and then make any further decisions.

There has been some progress in the poisoning case, but when it comes to Zhang Yuqing's family, that's another matter.

Murong Yue didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt the kind of fatigue that only belongs to human beings, so she simply stayed in bed and slept the whole afternoon.

Ah Hao was so scared that he would come in from time to time to secretly check.

I felt relieved only when I felt His Majesty's steady breathing.

Murong Yue was not awakened until an hour before the palace banquet.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master and Lord Qi are here," Ah Hao helped the dazed Murong Yue up.

Murong Yue, who had just woken up, had a dazed look in her eyes and a somewhat dull expression, her big eyes blinking on her doll-like face.

It took him a while to realize that he was in a human base.

"Oh," she closed her eyes and let Ah Hao wipe her hands and face, comb her hair and change her clothes.

"Oh, you are such a good person."

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."

To be honest, Ah Hao likes the current Majesty, although he also liked the previous Majesty, but the previous Majesty only had state affairs in his heart and eyes.

Rarely laughs, has poor appetite, and sleeps restlessly.

The current Majesty is still better. She secretly looked at his belt.

Your Majesty seems to have gained a little weight.

Great.

She excitedly picked out jewelry for His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, a palace banquet is different from a court session. These are two sets of headdresses newly sent by the Ministry of Revenue. Please take a look."

Ah Hao brought out two new brocade boxes.

Once upon a time, these jobs were all done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Imperial Household Department was responsible for the food, clothing, and entertainment of the emperor's entire family.

But after the retired emperor dismissed the people in the palace, he immediately abolished the Imperial Household Department, saying that there were only a few people in the palace, so why would he need the Imperial Household Department?

Moreover, the people in the Imperial Household Department are all top craftsmen in Qing Kingdom. It would be a waste to only give them to a few people in the palace.

Simply send all those who have skills and ideas in the Imperial Household Department to the Ministry of Works.

Benefit the people.

The effect was also very obvious. In the next few years, led by the retired emperor, the old people in the Imperial Household Department made samples and the Ministry of Industry produced them in batches.

Create many good things that are beneficial to people’s livelihood.

That's how the phrase "气死风灯" came about.

Murong Yue looked at the two brocade boxes in front of her.
