General's Mansion

Yang Haiyan read Qin Fang's home letter and knew that he was safe. After worrying about it for a few days, she finally felt relieved. "Second brother, Qin is in the capital, thank you for taking care of me." Otherwise, even entering the city gate would take a lot of thought. However, it can also be seen that Qin Fang had already thought about Du Xingran before taking action.

Du Xingran said disapprovingly: "Isn't this true? We are all members of our own family, and we should help each other. Second sister, then get ready, I will go back tomorrow." There is no male master in the family, that is, He and Yang Haiyan are nominally sworn brothers and sworn sisters, and they don't get along very well.

Yang Haiyan said: "Second brother is in Yunxiang County for the first time. Why don't you stay for a few more days? I'll ask my second brother to show you around. When you come back, the situation in Yunxiang County will be the same as the emperor's." It’s also good for the emperor to know that your trip these days has not been in vain.”

When Du Xingran heard this, he immediately understood what she meant, and said gratefully: "Second sister is still more careful." The emperor likes to listen to people's sentiments the most, isn't it? ‌‌ Here, Du Xingran shamelessly brought up the matter of toothpaste and toothbrush, "Second sister, according to Brother Qin, the toothbrush and toothpaste are very useful. I wonder if you can give me one... or two pairs?" "He's also shameless. Although it's shameless to ask for two pairs, he can't have one himself. Doesn't your mother have one?" Actually, neither of them is enough. There are still grandparents, aunts and uncles at home.

Yang Haiyan chuckled, she had a very good impression of Du Er, he was such a carefree person. He is very enthusiastic and has a very lively personality. "Two pairs are not enough. Let's equip the elders in the house with one pair, but it will take some time." Whether it is making toothpaste or toothbrushes, there is not enough time. However, since Qin Fang didn't, it didn't matter if Du Xingran returned to Beijing for a few days at night.

When Du Xingran heard this, he was overjoyed: "Thank you, second sister." Between them, Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan were called "H" separately. Qin Fang was a student of Du Keh, so Du Xingran called him Brother Qin in reference to Du Keh's relationship. Yang Haiyan is Mrs. Du's adopted daughter now, so according to Mrs. Du's relationship, she is called second sister.

Yang Haiyan said: "Second brother is here. Second brother, I have something to trouble you with."

Du Xingran asked: "What's the matter? As long as I can do it, it's absolutely my duty."

Seeing that he was so jealous, Yang Haiyan asked directly: "Has my second brother seen the emperor? I want to hear the emperor's words."

"This..." This matter stumped Du Xingran, "Sister, I have met the emperor, but I can't draw."

Yang Haiyan said: "This matter is not difficult. My second brother has seen things get better."

What a good idea?

Soon, Du Xingran found out the next day.

After breakfast the next day, Yang Haiyan summoned all the famous painters in Yunxiang County to gather at the General's Mansion. Then, draw portraits based on Du Xingran's description.

An hour later, the painters had finished drawing the portraits. There were ten portraits in total.

Yang Haiyan took ten of them and asked Du Xingran: "Second brother, among these ten portraits, which one is the most similar?"

Du Xingran looked at it, and to be honest, none of them could depict the emperor's elegance, but he still chose the one he thought was the best among the ten: "This is the one, but it still doesn't matter. So similar. For example, these eyes, and this mouth..."

Yang Haiyan said: "In this case, if there is anything that needs to be changed, the second brother will ask the painter to make changes until you think it is OK."

Du Xingran said: "That's okay."

This change only took one day. One day later, the painter was paralyzed from exhaustion, and finally changed a portrait that Du Xingran thought was acceptable.

The next day after taking the portrait, Yang Haiyan went to the carpenter's workshop and asked the carver to carve the emperor's face according to the portrait.

The master can't carve it well in a short time, so Yang Haiyan returned to the General's Mansion. At the entrance of the General's Mansion, I saw a carriage parked there. The man on the carriage did not go in. When he saw Yang Haiyan, he got off the carriage and said, "I'll see you, the Lord of the Country." The man was Cheng County Magistrate of Wang County.

This is not the first time that County Magistrate Cheng has done something. The last time he did something, Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang were not here, so he left not long after. This is the second time that he has done something.

Yang Haiyan said guestly: "Master Cheng, you don't need to be polite. I wonder what Master Cheng is doing in the General's Mansion?"

Magistrate Cheng Cheng said: "It's about the case of Aunt Fan's son-in-law injuring someone in your mansion. That Aunt Fan's son-in-law did things under the orders of General Qin, so we have to ask General Qin for justice in this matter." "

Yang Haiyan chuckled: "Master Cheng, you are the seventh-rank county magistrate, your words are still so funny. At some point, because of a word from my son-in-law, my dear general, the fifth-rank magistrate, will give you a * Is it possible that Mr. Cheng’s imperial examination results are also satisfactory? Otherwise, you should know that you can’t ask the superior to give you a legal certificate without sufficient evidence.”

Magistrate Cheng: "You..." He didn't expect that a woman's family would be so difficult to deal with. "Then I have something to do and I want to visit General Qin. I would like to ask the Lord of the country to give me a way."

Yang Haiyan said: "He went to the Beast Mountain. Lord Cheng can go find him by himself. As for the General's Mansion... My wife is not here, and I, a woman, will not keep guests." Then, he walked into the mansion, "Uncle Hong, close the door. If there are irrelevant people who want to enter, just say that they have trespassed into the General's Mansion and apologized. The General's Mansion will arrest them. I remember that the last time Chief Steward Chi came, he brought the emperor's secret order. I don't know if they broke into the mansion for this."

Uncle Hong: "Yes, don't worry, Xiangjun."

Cheng County Magistrate was really angry. This Bingyun Xiangjun was too difficult to deal with, but he couldn't force it. First of all, Bingyun Xiangjun's rank was higher than his. Secondly, this was Yunxiang County, with a thousand soldiers, how could he dare to be arrogant?

Cheng County Magistrate thought about it and decided to go with the second step of the plan. According to the above plan, what happened here should be reported.

First of all, Qin Fang has been living in a side hall of the palace these days, but because he doesn't show up, no one knows his existence. Besides, not everyone has the courage to inquire about the emperor's bedroom, and not everyone can inquire about the situation.

The emperor wanted to watch a play with Qin Fang, but it has been a few days and the play has not started yet. Qin Fang wanted to go home. Although he asked Du Xingran to send a letter home, Yanyan cried when he left home, so Qin Fang wanted to go back by himself.

But Qin Fang also knew that he couldn't go back.

That day, the emperor went to the morning court as usual.

Chief Steward Chi: "If you have something to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court."

At this time, a minister said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report. I heard that Qin Fang, the garrison commander of Yunxiang County, allowed his servant son-in-law to bully others and even beat him severely."

"Your Majesty, I also have something to report. I heard that the servant son-in-law of Qin Fang, the garrison commander of Yunxiang County, used his relationship with Qin Fang to threaten the Jin family, the imperial grain agent of Wang County, and used his agent status to get rid of him."

"Your Majesty, this imperial grain agent matter is of great importance. Qin Fang is deeply involved. The emperor values ​​him, but he treats his servants like this, it's really..."

"That's right, the imperial grain agency represents the face of the imperial grain, how can a servant of Qin Fang's family interfere?"

"Your Majesty, I have also heard about the matter of Qin Fang's servant son-in-law. County Magistrate Cheng went to the general's mansion to find Qin Fang about this matter, but Qin Fang actually closed the door and said that County Magistrate Cheng was only a seventh-rank official and couldn't care about him, a fifth-rank official."

"Your Majesty..."

For a while, there were many impeachments against Qin Fang.

Of course, there were also people who defended Qin Fang, such as the ministers who had a good relationship with Du Ke.

"This Wang County is very different from the capital. It is not easy for the adults to listen to these things."

"Yes, it is a coincidence. I received a letter from Brother Du a few days ago. I know that Brother Du is in Hedong Prefecture. I think that the capital can receive such information, and Hedong Prefecture can also receive it, right? In this way, with Brother Du's character, he will naturally not let Qin Fang do whatever he wants."

"Why don't you let Brother Du investigate this matter?"

Let Du Ke investigate? Can Qin Fang be dismissed from office? So the imperial concubine and her people are naturally unwilling. Someone said, "Lord Du is no longer in Hedong Mansion."

"That's right. Even if Lord Du was still in Hedong Mansion, given the relationship between Lord Du and Qin Fang, it would not be appropriate for him to investigate this matter."

"Lord Du is responsible for such an important matter as the imperial grain plan. How can other things interfere with him?"

"That's right, Lord Du..."

For a while, everyone in the court was talking about it.

It stands to reason that such a thing would not be mentioned in the court now, especially in the morning court. However, the person involved in this matter is not ordinary. He is a student of Du Ke.

Everyone argued for a long time, but the emperor did not speak, so everyone stopped talking and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "I think? Why not ask the person involved in this matter. People, tell Qin Fang, the garrison commander of Yunxiang County, to come to the court."

As the emperor finished speaking, the ministers were stunned. Qin Fang went to the capital?

"Tell Qin Fang, the garrison commander of Yunxiang County, to come to the court."

Qin Fang went to the Golden Throne Hall.

It must be said that Qin Fang's figure is one of the tallest in the entire Golden Throne Hall. He had a stern face and walked in with a steady pace. He was no longer like a country boy when he entered the palace a few days ago. After spending a few days with the emperor, Qin Fang was no longer afraid of the emperor. What's more, this time the emperor invited him to watch a play, so he was even less nervous.

Before meeting Qin Fang, many people were curious about Qin Fang, of course, they were curious about Du Ke's identity as a student. But after meeting Qin Fang, everyone was a little disappointed, because they couldn't see anything special about Qin Fang, except that he was taller.

"Your humble servant Qin Fang, greets the emperor."

The emperor nodded: "No need to be polite." He looked at his ministers and said, "Weren't you very interested in discussing it just now? Now the main topic is here, you can ask him."

Qin Fang stood up and looked at the ministers next to him: "I wonder if the ministers want to ask me anything? I will tell you everything I know."
