Chapter 219: The scholar who had been loyal for many years and had a glorious life died tragically in such a situation.
At first, the students were arrested first in order to protect him. After being interrogated in prison without any results, they were brutally killed and skinned alive for public display, which made him sad and angry!
This short document contained many mistakes, corrections, and ups and downs. Add to that the content, and the deep pain and tearful sorrow that overwhelmed him.
After leaving this letter, Mr. Zhang took the initiative to rescue other students.
He had already made up his mind to die.
At the end of the document, every word was heartbreaking, describing many of the evil deeds that the Prince of Yan had done while in Kyoto.
Even Ruan Mian felt his heart pounding and couldn't calm down after reading this letter, let alone Xie Huaian.
The scholar, who had been loyal and righteous for many years and had a glorious life, died tragically in such a situation.
Xie Huaian looked at Ruan Mian and suddenly asked, "Mian Mian, when your brother was secretly instigated by Huang Wenbing and others to fabricate the nursery rhyme of the country's demise, it was actually the Fifth Princess and her group who were secretly manipulating it."
"At the time, they needed a scapegoat to make a big deal out of this matter and cause panic among the officials. And I promised you back then that I would clear the name of your Nguyen family, and I have never forgotten that."
Ruan Mian understood what was surging in his heart at the moment, pursed her lips, held his hand and spoke softly.
"I know your Excellency will definitely put an end to this matter. But there is one thing I'm curious about."
"Your Excellency knows that the Fifth Princess has colluded with the Prince of Yan and formed her own faction, posing a threat to the throne. Then why does the Emperor still treat the Princess as his most beloved daughter and grant her supreme power? Wasn't Your Excellency's demotion the Emperor's will?"
Isn't it contradictory that he dotes on the princess while asking Xie Huaian to investigate secretly?
However, Xie Huaian told her: "This emperor is not that emperor."
Hearing this, Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment, and met his gaze with a puzzled look: "What do you mean, sir? Could it be that the emperor is lying?"
The original book does not mention these complicated plots.
Xie Huaian said: "After you were exiled, the late emperor died of illness and passed the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The new emperor is the former Crown Prince."
"The Fifth Princess was once the eldest princess who made great contributions to protecting the country. During the reign of the late emperor, there was a palace coup. It was the princess and her personal maid who risked their lives to leave the palace and deliver a letter of help to General Chicheng, who brought reinforcements and saved the late emperor."
After hearing this, Ruan Mian also understood.
In the face of such great achievements, the new emperor would not touch her unless they obtained the most direct evidence of rebellion and could shut up everyone in the court.
Otherwise, if the new emperor convicted a meritorious person based on some speculation and nonsense, he would surely be cursed for eternity.
It is very likely that this mistake will be caught by the princess and her gang, who will use this opportunity to put pressure on the throne and make the new emperor lose the support of the people.
"The new emperor doesn't have many confidants. I was demoted because of the Black Armor Army."
The Xuanjia Army is stationed at the border and is the army closest to the King of Yan. After Xie Huaian was demoted to Wuheng, he could not only unite with the loyal general Huo Zong, but also more conveniently gather information about the King of Yan and the Xuanjia Army.
So during that time in Wu Heng, the adult would get injured from time to time, and sometimes he would disappear without a trace, probably because he was doing his own things.
At first, Ruan Mian really wondered how the male protagonist of the original book had fallen to the point of being framed and demoted.
There is indeed a reason.
Ruan Mian glanced at the relics of Elder Zhang and comforted him: "The spirit of Elder Zhang in heaven will definitely lend you a helping hand! Sir, I'll go grind some medicine for you."
As she turned around, Xie Huaian suddenly called her. Before she could respond, he hugged Ruan Mian tightly from behind. His chin rested on her shoulder: "Mian Mian, since I promised you that I would stay with you for the rest of my life, I will do my best to do everything well."
"After I fulfill my teacher's wish and stabilize the regime for the new emperor, I will definitely return to Wu Heng to find you."
Every word, like a promise, struck Ruan Mian's heart.
Ruan Mian smiled slightly, turned around and hugged him: "Okay, I will be waiting for you there, take care of yourself."
When she went out to grind the medicine powder, she saw Guard Liu walking towards her hurriedly with a wooden box in his hand.
"Guard Liu, what is this?"
Seeing this, Guard Liu thought that the master must be in a bad mood at the moment, so he simply asked Madam Ruan to bring the medicine with her.
"I brought these out from Master Zhang's house. They contain some women's jewelry. I wondered if they belonged to your sister, so I sent them over to let you take a look."
"Leave it to me, I'll give it to the master later."
Ruan Mian took it and took a look. The jewelry inside was very simple, but one of the wooden hairpins shaped like a peach blossom caught her attention.
After taking a closer look, I actually saw an engraved word "Ling" on the peach petals of the hairpin.
Ruan Mian immediately remembered what Liz told her.
Seeing her expression change slightly, Guard Liu asked, "Madam Ruan, is there anything wrong?"
After coming to his senses, Ruan Mian put away the wooden box and shook his head: "It's okay."
After he left, Ruan Mian took out the wooden hairpin and looked at it a few more times, his expression becoming more serious.
She took the wooden hairpin out of the wooden box.
The next morning, Ruan Mian took the mineral raw materials to find the old man. In front of the old man and several other craftsmen, he mixed various glazes to color the tiles they were making.
After high-temperature calcination, the glazed tiles that came out were as green as jade, which amazed them!
The yellow ones were even more golden, and the old man suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Young lady, you really have this ability! Even the Ye family in Kyoto can't produce such a clear and emerald green color these days."
"And this Chinese and Japanese yellow, just like gold, so bright and shining!"
"Old sir, I think this turquoise blue is the best color! It's the best of the best. No one in our capital can produce such a color."
They looked at the pieces of glass again and again as if they had found some treasure, and they could not stop praising them.
Ruan Mian handed the extraction recipe and the ratio values he brought to the old man.
"Old man, now you can meet my conditions."
The old man nodded repeatedly. "Such a fine product must be priced high. Don't worry, young lady, I will make you a lot of money. But I'm afraid the raw materials you brought are a little short. I wonder if you can..."
Before he could finish, Ruan Mian had already provided him with a solution: "I can transport as many raw materials as you want, but the money..."
"Miss, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. The prince said at the beginning that as long as General Hu Lie is satisfied, it will be fine."
The implication is that Prince Yong would definitely not care about this small amount of money.
In this case, Ruan Mian wrote a contract on the spot and became the old man's long-term supplier.
"If you need anything, you can come to me anytime, but I have some personal matters to attend to right now. Once I'm done, I'll introduce you to a client, and you can just go with him to make the purchase."
When the old man saw the purchase contract, he was surprised and said, "You are a businessman?"
