The grass in the factory should be plucked

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu. I just want to take a look at the house. You can go about your business."

Manager Liu knew that the girl bought this house for the safety of him and Aunt Lian, and he could not help but say gratefully: "Miss, you care about us so much, Uncle Liu will definitely manage the business well for you."

Jiang Li smiled happily: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu. I'm counting on you to make a lot of money. I will definitely give you a very big red envelope at the end of the year!"

Manager Liu couldn't help but sigh when he saw her wearing a nightgown and a mask.

It’s not easy for girls!

I hope the lady’s spirit in heaven can bless her with a smooth journey.

This is a three-entry and three-exit house, divided into the front yard, inner yard and back yard.

The house is not big, and the overall layout is very exquisite.

Especially the garden in the middle of the inner courtyard made Jiang Li's eyes light up.

Stones are piled up to form mountains, with pavilions and curved railings dotted among them in an orderly manner.

There is a small pond in the center that has already frozen over. When spring comes, plant some lotus flowers and raise a few fish. It will surely be a feast to the eyes.

"Do you like it?" Xie Changan asked softly, looking at her happy expression.

"I like it! I like it so much!" Jiang Li was so happy that she wanted to spin in circles.

Although she can only live in the remote and dilapidated cold palace for now, at least she has her own house!

"Our little raccoon has really made great progress."

He smiled, took her little hand and walked towards the backyard.

"When I was your age, I didn't have my own house."

Her little hands were so soft and smooth that he couldn't bear to let go.

Jiang Li blushed and let him hold her hand. The two of them walked inside along the bluestone path.

The original owner of the house, the Hanlin scholar, was probably also a flower lover, and he planted various plum trees, peach trees and pear trees in the backyard.

It is the season when early plum blossoms are in full bloom. The flowers on the branches are as white as snow, with a light and elegant fragrance.

Jiang Li said happily: "In the future, we can make plum wine and peach blossom wine. Pears can also be made into iced pear yogurt."

Xie Changan teased her, "Other ladies would recite poems and paint pictures when they see this plum blossom tree, but you, little cat, only think about eating. You are really a greedy cat."

Jiang Li snorted: "Then why don't you find a famous lady who can recite poems and paint?"

Xie Changan said with a smile: "I am just a warrior, I can't write poems or paint, so I don't like those women who only care about romance, but I only like that greedy little raccoon."

Jiang Li's anger turned into joy.

"Little raccoon knows how to make wine?"

"Know a thing or two."

"Did your master teach you this?"

"Yes. Master knows a lot!"

No one knows what kind of hidden master her master is. He does not do his job all day long and only teaches her how to eat, drink and have fun!

Jiang Li thought of the jars of plum wine and peach blossom wine that her master had buried under the tree. He had joked that this was called "daughter's red wine" and that she would dig it out as her dowry when she found a Taoist partner in the future. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing this, Xie Changan gently embraced her in his arms, "I am so lucky to be able to drink the wine brewed by little Li Nu. I will help you make plum wine in the future, okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Li said with a nasal voice, and put her arms around his waist, "Brother Changan, thank you."

Xie Changan smiled and said, "My home is on the other side of the backyard wall. We can connect these two walls and make a corner door for easy access."

Who can access it conveniently?

Jiang Li's face flushed: "Sir, it's getting late, should we go back?"

"Okay." He smiled, "Let's go."

After returning to the yamen, Jiang Li and other secret guards including Yin Shiyi were all sent out to stake out every street and alley in the capital, in an effort to catch the fictitious person who distributed the leaflets.

Although the weather was cold, Xie Changan was worried that Jiang Li would catch a cold, but as it was his duty, he could not be too partial. He could only repeatedly remind her to wear a cloak and try to find a place sheltered from the wind.

At the same time, the duty hours of the secret guards were also shortened to prevent the brothers from being left outside in the cold for too long.

"Don't let Sixteen drink!" He stared at Yin Shiyi.

When the secret guards are on duty in winter, they will secretly carry a small bottle of liquor on their bodies to keep warm.

Yin Shiyi scratched his head: "Got it."

He didn't dare to do that. Xiao Shiliu was a girl and it was obvious that she couldn't hold her liquor. If she got drunk and lost consciousness, it could be fatal on a cold winter night!

Jiang Li felt very guilty because because of her, the secret guards had to wait on the streets in the middle of winter, and they knew that they would never be able to find that "person".

She ordered the Longmen Restaurant to send a few more tables of food to comfort the brothers who were implicated by her.

The Qi Wang party did not want to sit and wait for death, so they started to make moves again.

The Earl of Ningyang submitted a memorial to the emperor, attacking the Duke of Zhenguo and Lord Shen by name, saying that the leaflet was written by them. In order to help the Prince of Jin ascend to the throne smoothly, they slandered Concubine Zhou for plagiarizing other people's works and used this to attack the Prince of Qi, openly throwing dirty water on the royal family. They deserve to be killed!

The Duke of Zhenguo and Lord Shen wrote a memorial to defend themselves, saying that there was no need for them to slander Concubine Zhou.

"Prince Jin is the Queen's son, a legitimate heir, and heir to the throne. Why would I slander the Imperial Concubine and discredit the royal family to attack Prince Qi?"

The Earl of Ningyang came out again to testify that Zhang Huai, the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo and the then-captain of the imperial guards, often sent people to teahouses and taverns to spread rumors and add fuel to the flames, causing the rumors on the leaflets to become more and more intense.

Do you dare to say that the flyers were not your doing?

Zhang Huai argued that he sent people to teahouses and restaurants to inquire about the news in order to catch the people who distributed leaflets and to help the emperor relieve his worries. What crime had he committed?

Is it a sin to listen to gossip these days?

The emperor felt dizzy after hearing this. He secretly resented that Lord Shen was the first to stand up and oppose the appointment of Prince Qi as the crown prince, and for exposing the fact that Empress Zhang already had a legitimate son.

He was also angry that the Duke of Zhenguo colluded with Empress Zhang and set a trap for him to make him agree to register the third prince under the Empress' name.

The old emperor finally came to his senses and realized that the queen’s “critical illness” that day was probably a trap, and he became more and more angry.

However, since the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion held the military power, it was not easy for him to launch an open attack, so he took this opportunity to take back the military power.

He identified the flyer as a "demon book" and said grimly: "Since the two of you have said that you have nothing to do with the demon book, and you are both old, to avoid suspicion, you should stay at home and keep the book until the truth of the demon book case is revealed."

"Please return the tiger talisman for the time being. After the case is fully investigated, if you have nothing to do with it, I will make another decision."

"The minister obeys the order."

The Qi Wang party felt that they had won a brilliant victory and were delighted.

One of the three great ministers of the cabinet has gone, and another leader of the Jin Wang party has gone. Although they are just idle at home, as long as they are kept away from the court, they will not be able to interfere in the important affairs of the court, and even the news will be delayed a lot.

Zhang Huai was very angry. Everyone was just saying one thing, without any evidence. Why did the emperor only punish Elder Shen and his grandfather? He turned a blind eye to Concubine Zhou's plagiarism and instead wanted to investigate the author of the "devil book"?

The Duke of Zhenguo said: "This matter is detrimental to the reputation of the royal family. The emperor will not admit it."

He thought it would be a good idea to stay at home for the time being and avoid the limelight, so as to prevent the emperor from taking his anger out on him because of the incident involving Prince Jin.

Besides, Earl Ningyang can attack them indiscriminately, and they can do the same.

Anyway, no one has any evidence, so who can't make groundless accusations?

Come on, let’s hurt each other.
