Yue's father turned around and said elegantly: "Did you buy the second one?"

Yan Sanlang's thoughts were really blown away: "Yes, it's the same as what you wrote! It said that he just arrived this morning!"

Yan Shiyue nodded with a smile: "I handed over all the sales to the bookstore at that time, and I thought it would start selling next month!"

"Luckily you came quickly," Yan Sanlang said, "You don't know how smart those storytellers are! He also read it yesterday. If you don't sell it quickly, he will start telling stories right away, and then there will be fewer buyers."

Yan Shiyue nodded with a smile.

Yan Sanlang said, "Oh, yes, didn't you go to the study as well? Why didn't I see you?"

Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "No, I just arrived in Hangzhou, so I went out for a walk and enjoyed the scenery."

Yan Sanlang immediately put the book away and said, "I am the local boss in Hangzhou! Wherever you want to go, I will take you there!"

When Madam Yan heard that her youngest son was following a certain Yue Langjun, she didn't care much. Her whole attention was now on the maid who was in disguise. When she heard that the maid had been trying to enter the inner courtyard but was stopped, she felt both relieved and worried, and just hoped that Governor Yan would come back soon.

I didn't have the energy to care about my younger son's noise.

...

...

Besides, although there are many people with ulterior motives sneaking into Hangzhou, these people generally won't target my teenage son. After all, they don't care about the matter. Besides, even if they really target him, they will approach him secretly. Who dares to be so ostentatious? Or is he a well-known scholar who makes a living by writing manuscripts?

Yan Shiyue took advantage of other people's psychology.

First release a big smoke bomb and then make a high-profile appearance so as not to arouse suspicion.

Why did she choose these people? Because since the other party placed the informant box so obviously to attract her attention, they must be trying to hide something. And the thing they are hiding must be something that she could discover even if she turned around, so the other party would use this method of "fearing that she would not discover it."

Because these people were all her little fans, her progress was incredibly fast. She quickly became friends with them, and then, based on just a few words, she locked on her target, a calligraphy and painting studio.

In name, this calligraphy and painting studio was the dowry business of a lady named Liu and had nothing to do with anyone in the Jiangnan officialdom.

The paintings inside were neither good nor bad, and the prices were not high, but as soon as she entered, she felt something was wrong.

The shop owner's eyes were sparkling and full of evaluation, which made people feel very uncomfortable. He didn't look like someone who had been immersed in calligraphy and painting for many years.

We sent shadow guards to keep a secret watch for two days and found out the truth.

This place can be said to be a place dedicated to accepting bribes. People who come to give gifts don't even have to come in person, and then they can buy calligraphy and paintings here at high prices. The money will naturally go to the right place, and things will be done. If they are not done... it will not be traced back to them.

Following this one, I slowly investigated and found that there are similar stores. It can be seen that many people know about it. They deceive their superiors and do not hide the truth from their subordinates. They are simply unscrupulous.

Before the emperor arrived in Hangzhou, Yan Shiyue got the account book.

Then she said goodbye to the group of people, secretly joined the imperial carriage team, and with the help of the shadow guards, she successfully entered the queen's carriage.

After all, Emperor Ming Yan reviewed the troops separately from the Empress, and they could not see the Empress's golden face when he set out on his journey.

So Yan Shiyue quietly changed her clothes, lifted the curtain and came out of the queen's carriage, which really scared people.

Then Yan Shiyue jumped over the carriage and jumped onto Emperor Ming Yan's carriage.

There were people in the car, and they all saluted her. Yan Shiyue returned the salute and said with a faint smile: "I have something to discuss with my father. You guys go down and have a rest."

She has a calm and confident attitude and is full of bearing, worthy of being called the "female crown princess".

Everyone was a little confused, and when they saw Emperor Ming Yan waved his hand without hesitation, they became even more panicked, and quickly retreated, looking at each other.

For some reason, Governor Yan broke out in a sweat, wondering why the Prime Minister suddenly came before his family told them that the maid had left?

In the car, Emperor Mingyan asked, "What happened?"

Yan Shiyue went over to pour him some tea, patted his back gently, and said to him softly, "Aye, it's a small matter, we won't be angry! The treasury has money, and we have soldiers under our command. If it doesn't work, we can kill them all. There's no need to be angry, right?"

Emperor Ming Yan: "..."

He was speechless at her coaxing tone, but he also knew that the situation must be serious.

He said, "I know, tell me."

Yan Shiyue laid the groundwork for a long time before handing him a few account books. When Emperor Ming Yan saw them, he narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said, "Got it."

Yan Shiyue patted him on the back again, and then whispered, "For the amount, add 10,000 before the 'liang'..."

"What!"

Emperor Ming Yan was furious.

Yan Shiyue pressed the account book with one hand and slapped him hard. Emperor Ming Yan remembered her pale face last time and did not get angry after all. He opened the account book again and read it again.

The amount in the account book is not that scary, but it is 10,000 taels! In other words, it is easily 200,000 taels! 300,000 taels!

Haha! These people are really making a fortune! They are much richer than him!

Yan Shiyue continued to pat him, and Emperor Mingyan patted her arm for a long while before saying, "I'm fine."

Seeing that he was slowly recovering from the shock, Yan Shiyue told him the whole process of her investigation. One reason was to distract him and the other was to prove the correctness of the account book. The key point was that these people were really too bold, they were simply local tyrants.

Moreover, this account book was not written in this way by her. Instead, it was a secret account book that only insiders could understand. It wrote ten thousand taels as two taels, so it was so inconspicuous.

Emperor Ming Yan closed his eyes and pondered.

He had intended to abdicate, but before that, he would definitely clean up the court as much as possible, and the means could be bloody. He could use this incident to bring back the idea of ​​returning the fire consumption to the public and promote the promotion of the maintenance of integrity. After all the steps were taken, he could show favor after the prince ascended the throne.

Therefore, with such a detailed account, he can indeed have a clear goal and a legitimate reason.

When Emperor Ming Yan opened his eyes again, he saw his daughter looking at him with worry in her eyes. Emperor Ming Yan smiled and suddenly said to her, "Yuer?"

"Um?"

Emperor Mingyan said, "I will abdicate the throne to the crown prince. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Yan Shiyue's eyes lit up: "Then you don't have to worry about anything, just leave all these things to him! It's cost so much to raise him, it's finally time for him to contribute! Then we can go out and have fun! Go on a secret visit! Travel around the mountains and rivers!"

Emperor Ming Yan: "..."

Emperor Mingyan smiled and said, "Okay, how about I hand all these matters over to the Crown Prince, hand over the affairs of the palace to your mother, and hand over the safety outside the palace to Ajing, and then Yue'er and I, father and daughter, will go out to travel and play, and I will leave the big boss alone and not worry about anything..."

She blinked at what he said...it seemed that it was not the case!

Emperor Mingyan smiled and tapped her forehead: "You!"

Yan Shiyue held his head and thought for a while, then moved closer: "Should we deal with them then?"

Emperor Mingyan nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Deal with them."
