Chapter 51 Pure Slander
Chapter 51 Pure Slander
When Feng Ziyu heard that the West Palace was going to build a library, he immediately ran over, looked at Yuan Man with shining eyes and asked, "Master, are you really going to build a library?"
Yuan Man nodded, "Yes."
"I have already collected part of the collection of books. Once the collection pavilion is repaired, I will bring all of them back."
Feng Ziyu was a scholar and naturally liked collecting books. Unfortunately, his family fell into poverty and the only two books he had were sold during the famine.
Now I am so happy to hear that Yuanman is going to build a library.
Seeing how happy he was, Yuan Man didn't tell him that he had a collection of 100,000 volumes of books, for fear that he would come after him to ask for them.
After making the arrangements, I spent a day with the children and then went out to sign in at Jingcheng.
She had to sign up for thirteen places as soon as possible so that she wouldn't have to run around so much.
After she left Pinghe City, she remembered that she still had to go to Qingshan Temple in Fu'an City to deliver sweet potatoes to the abbot.
But if she went, it would be a long detour, but she still had questions to ask.
In her previous life, she had never had a love relationship, let alone a friend of the opposite sex, so she didn't think she could tell whether this man was right for her. She could only ask the abbot for help.
Yuanman was moved by what Hui Chengyuan said.
Since you are going to get married sooner or later, why not choose someone you are familiar with? Why bother finding someone new and getting to know them all over again?
There is no one here who just dates without getting married, and she doesn't want to be the one who changes the rules.
Feelings can be cultivated slowly. There aren't so many people who fall in love at first sight or at second sight in this world, and she doesn't believe it.
If he could really refrain from taking concubines or entering the harem, and even wrote a letter of guarantee to himself, there would be nothing wrong with being a parasite in the harem.
Who wouldn’t want to be a queen without having to fight in the palace?
And he's good looking too.
Yuan Man collected his wandering thoughts and thought for a while, then wrote down the questions he wanted to ask, prepared five hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes and five hundred kilograms of potatoes, and asked Yuan Er to deliver them.
Wait for the abbot to reply before coming back.
After Hui Chengyuan confirmed that the Leshan Marquis Mansion had been repaired and there were no problems, he sent a message to Yuan Yi and left Kyoto to go to the river construction site.
Now it has been built to Sifeng County near Qinhe Mountain. It will pass between Qinhe Mountain and Sifeng County, and then go around to the back of Kyoto City to form half a moat, and then lead to the Three Kingdoms River that runs through the Three Kingdoms.
When Hui Chengyuan arrived, he looked at the progress and the materials for building the river. After confirming that there were no problems, he started to look at the account books.
After checking, he found that three thousand taels of silver did not match, so he called Ling Kong and the Minister of Revenue who was in charge of the account books.
Without saying a word, he just put the account book on the table and knocked on it a few times, and the Minister of Revenue immediately knelt down.
Ling Kong naturally understood the reason and knelt down and said, "I failed in my duty, please punish me, Master."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him without saying anything, but stared coldly at the Minister of Revenue, "Tell me, who gave you the guts to have such thoughts after only a short time since I left."
The Minister of Revenue began to tremble. How could he dare to do that? It was the people above him who did it, and he was the one to take the blame.
"You also know that His Majesty has issued an order before, asking you to tell us where the silver went. If you give it to us, you can save your life, otherwise the whole family will be in trouble." Hui Chengyuan naturally knew that a small minister like him would not dare to be greedy, but no matter who the person behind the scenes was, he would not let go if he coveted what he had.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue looked up at him, and seeing his cold expression, he almost cried.
"Your Highness, I am not greedy. The money is not with me."
"Then tell me who took it." Hui Chengyuan gradually lost his patience.
"Ling Feng, take him away for questioning."
The Minister of Revenue immediately shouted, "Your Highness, spare my life. I will say it all."
"Yes, it was taken by Duke Qin's Mansion."
Hui Chengyuan narrowed his eyes, "When did you take it?"
"Half a month ago." The Minister of Revenue lowered his head after saying this.
"Ling Feng, interrogate." Hui Chengyuan's eyes flashed with cold light.
The Minister of Revenue was shaking even more violently, shouting that it was the Qin Mansion that took it.
Hui Chengyuan waved his hand to let Ling Feng take the person away, then looked at Ling Kong, "Did anyone come to the Duke Qin's Mansion during that time?"
Lingkong nodded, "Second Young Master Qin came here once, but he left after not staying for long."
Hui Chengyuan didn't think that the Duke of Qin's Mansion would be interested in the three thousand taels of silver. After all, this was a person who could easily take out one and a half million taels of silver.
Those young ladies would spend this much money just to buy some jewelry in a silver shop.
But what is this Second Young Master Qin doing here?
"Go and find out what he is doing here and whether he has taken the three thousand taels of silver."
After Hui Chengyuan finished speaking, he looked at Ling Kong and said, "After the investigation, go and receive the punishment."
"Yes." Lingkong saluted and walked out.
Hui Chengyuan supported his forehead with one hand, but he was not thinking about what had just happened, but the figure that had always been in his heart.
Gradually, his brows furrowed. It was only for a moment, but it was as if the feeling had lived in his heart and could not be shaken off.
It was fine some time ago, but since I talked to Yuanman, it has become more and more frequent.
Whenever I have free time, I can always think of it.
Shu Li, do you know how to cast a spell on me?
Shu Li = Yuan Man: "?"
It's pure slander.
It took Yuanman three days to reach Jingcheng.
This area is southwest of Anguo, so the disaster is not that serious.
Jingcheng belongs to the provincial capital, so naturally there is a Yuanlai Inn there. Yuan Jing set out two days earlier than her, so he should have taken over the inn by now.
When I arrived in Jingcheng, I didn't hear any voice from the system, so I started looking for the check-in point again.
It became more and more difficult to sign in as time went on, and she didn't plan to run around to sign in like she did in Lucheng.
She now started to travel around Jingcheng as a tourist.
Whenever I see something nice and interesting, I will buy it and bring it back as gifts for my children.
Walking from the north to the east of the city, Yuan San, who was following her, had his hands full of things.
Yuan Man was shaking a wave drum in his left hand and dangling a sachet in his right hand.
Although the disaster in Jingcheng was not serious, there was no food to sell on the streets.
As we walked, we arrived at Yuanlai Inn.
Thinking it was getting late and I didn’t see any check-in point, I went into the inn.
Yuan Jing looked up and saw that it was his master who had come, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Master, you are here."
Yuan Man looked around and asked, "Is the takeover going smoothly?"
Yuan Jing shook his head and said, "It wasn't smooth, but it was solved."
"The former innkeeper took advantage of the profits of the past two years and even brought his entire family to live in the inn."
"If I didn't have the contract, it would be difficult to do it."
"I reported the case to the court and sent the shopkeeper's family to the government office, but they only paid one thousand taels of silver. The rest was not available, so they were sentenced to twenty years in the mines."
Yuan Man nodded and said, "Prepare two upper rooms."
