The grass in the factory should be plucked

The emperor was furious and ordered the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and Dali Temple to investigate the case together and find Lü Youliang and the originator of the "evil book", otherwise they would be beheaded!

He also ordered the chief academic officer of the Imperial College to come forward to appease the candidates, saying that there was no evidence to support the matter and that the imperial concubine could not be convicted based on just a leaflet.

Please be patient. Once the truth is revealed, His Majesty will handle the matter impartially and will never intentionally cover up or condone evil.

This temporarily calmed the angry candidates.

The pressure was immediately put on the Eastern Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Dali Temple.

Xie Changan sent half of the East Factory's personnel to Shanxi and Jiangnan to search for Lu Youliang along the way. The other half took shifts day and night, waiting for suspicious people in the streets and alleys of the capital.

In this tense atmosphere, the Longmen Boat Banquet still opened as scheduled.

During the trial operation period, Jiang Li invited the brothers from the Yinziwei of the East Factory and Xu Dangtou, who was familiar with her, to experience the Jiangnan boat banquet.

She chartered three pleasure boats. The river was frozen and all the pleasure boats were parked on the shore.

There is a charcoal stove in the cabin, which uses the best silver charcoal. It is warm, so even if the ship is parked on the ice, the passengers will not feel cold.

The cabin was elegantly furnished, paved with brocade and filled with fragrance. There was a palace lantern hanging in each corner, and an antique Ru kiln vase with a few branches of blooming white plums.

The main dish of the boat banquet is naturally river fish. Manager Liu specially invited a "fisherman" from the Northeast who is good at winter fishing. He chiseled a hole in the ice and caught a lot of fresh fish.

As you can imagine, the price of fresh fish in winter would be ridiculously expensive.

But for the powerful and wealthy in Beijing, eating it is a rarity, and even if it is priced sky-high, there are still people who can afford it.

Looking at the table full of fresh fish pots and fresh fish sashimi, the brothers of Yinziwei were all amazed. How much money did this table cost? Little Sixteen's family business was so extravagant!

They didn't dare to tease Xie Changan, so they winked at Jiang Li and said, "Our boss is so lucky. Little Sixteen is capable and her family is rich. You can't find such a good girl even if you search with a lantern!"

Xu Dangtou was more direct. After a few more drinks, he put his arm around Xie Changan's shoulders and said with a smile, "Boss, when are you going to invite the brothers to the wedding?"

Jiang Li blushed at that moment.

Xie Changan smiled and said, "She is still young, let's talk about it in a year or two."

Jiang Li was so embarrassed that she dropped her chopsticks and ran away.

Amid the crowd's booing, Xie Changan's ears turned red as blood.

He stood up and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, brothers. I'll be back soon."

He found the shy little girl on the empty houseboat.

Jiang Li was lying on the window of the houseboat, looking at the lights in the distance.

Xie Changan held her in his arms from behind and said with a smile, "Why are you running? Will they stop making fun of you in the future?"

Jiang Li leaned against his chest, found a comfortable position, and whispered: "Brother Changan, I want to be with you openly."

He gently kissed her hair and said in a hoarse voice, "I also want to marry you home as soon as possible."

Jiang Li said secretly in her heart, it will be almost there.

At this time, Manager Liu ordered people to set off fireworks, and the frozen river surface reflected the bright and gorgeous sky.

The two of them leaned against the window, their hearts filled with sweetness and love, and they only hoped that this moment would last forever.

After the opening of Longmen Boat Banquet, business was extremely popular. It was impossible to grab a spot on the pleasure boat unless you booked it a month in advance.

Cui Jue was even more impressed by the ingenuity of the Longmen boss. Holding a boat banquet in winter was an incredible thing in itself, but she had come up with many new ideas.

Ice singing and dancing, ice skating performances, ice lantern festival, ice fireworks festival...the people in Beijing are dazzled and reluctant to leave.

No wonder the King of Jin is so infatuated with her. I wonder when I can meet this stunningly talented woman?

If one day, she also entered the harem of Prince Jin, how could Jin'er be her opponent?

When Cui Jue thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Nangong Qinghe was naturally one of the first distinguished guests to attend the boat banquet.

After receiving Jiang Li's instructions, Manager Liu was very careful and enthusiastic in receiving the guests.

The tea used is the best Mingqian Longjing, and the fish sashimi is made from the best flower fish, cut into pieces as transparent as jade and as thin as cicada wings.

He personally prepared the sauce for Nangong Qinghe: "Your Highness, please try it."

Nangong Qinghe picked up a piece of snow-white fish fillet, mixed it with plenty of ingredients, and put it in his mouth. He tasted spicy, sour and fresh, and the fish meat was crispy and refreshing. After eating it in one bite, his mouth was watering and the fragrance lingered on his teeth.

"I have only heard of Jiangnan fish sashimi but never had the chance to taste it. Now it seems that the agar-agar jade paste is just as good as this!" Nangong Qinghe praised.

Manager Liu bowed and smiled, "Your Highness, thank you for your compliment!"

Cui Jue picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful!"

Nangong Qinghe's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with a smile: "Does your boss also like this fish sashimi the most?"

Manager Liu replied respectfully, "Our boss has always loved eating fish, but she can't pick out fish bones. That's why we only make fish balls and fish soup for her, and occasionally fish sashimi. But she can't eat too much, after all, it's a cold food."

Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but laugh. She loves to eat fish but doesn't know how to pick out fish bones. Why is A'li so lovable?

He secretly took note of what Jiang Li liked to eat.

Cui Jue glanced at him secretly. The tenderness and tenderness in King Jin's eyes were almost overflowing. He sighed secretly, this is love to the core.

The Longmen Boat Banquet became famous, and even Empress Zhang secretly booked a pleasure boat and went on a private visit with the old emperor. The tense atmosphere between the two eased a lot, and even a few sparks flew.

The powerful people in Beijing were very jealous of this, and many of them wanted to take the Longmen boat banquet for themselves.

After some investigation, they found out that Longmen Trading Company was actually backed by the East Factory, so they had to give up in disappointment.

It snowed in the capital, and the Longmen Boat Banquet organized an ice-skating competition, with various ice activities emerging one after another.

Young masters and noble ladies from aristocratic families can skate and play ice hockey, while younger young masters and ladies can make snowmen, have snowball fights, and drive their small ice sleds around the field. Jiang Li was so jealous that she wished she could run out into the snow and have fun as much as she could.

Manager Liu then secretly opened a "late-night show" for her.

Jiang Li took the little eagle and danced on the deserted ice surface late at night.

Snowflakes were flying all over the place. She was dressed in black, looking like a ghost, playing in the wind and dancing with the snow.

I don’t know whether this picture is beautiful or scary.

If there wasn't a curfew, this scene would have scared many late-night pedestrians.

Xie Changan stood quietly on the pleasure boat, looking at her smiling and free face, and the smile on his face deepened.

I hope that under his wings, his little girl can always smile so brightly and freely.

As the year draws to a close, there is still no clue about the "demon book case".

When someone in the court proposed to make Prince Jin the crown prince, the emperor said calmly: "The case of the evil book is still unresolved. Have you forgotten that you are still under criminal jurisdiction?"

You haven't been cleared of suspicion yet, and you want to take the credit for following the dragon? I'm not dead yet!

The ministers had no choice but to give up.

Although the emperor was annoyed, he couldn't stop people from celebrating the New Year, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.

The troops that the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard had deployed to Shanxi and Jiangnan areas were also gradually withdrawn.
