Chapter 1771: Hatred

Time flies, Changzhi's letter was sent back to the capital, along with the evidence he found, which was sent back at full speed.

The emperor left Zhou Shuren alone, "He found a helper for himself."

Zhou Shuren had not received any letter from his son, and only had a general idea of ​​Yu Changzhi's situation. "Help?"

"Well, he saved people from despair. That's the data."

Zhou Shuren took the file which contained all the information about Ding Jue. "To restore one's reputation is to be a noble man. It is indeed not easy to buy him back to be a servant."

He paused and said, "Changzhi's action is also a fulfillment of filial piety."

Your Majesty, "Changzhi did a good job."

Zhou Shuren continued to read the news sent back, "The situation in Chuanzhou is more serious than we thought."

The law has special criminal laws targeting interest-taking, but unfortunately it has not been eliminated. With high profits ahead, the law cannot scare away those who take risks, not to mention that some of the interest is protected by someone.

The emperor had already gotten over his anger yesterday, but now he was very calm. "I will clean up some of the dirt and restore peace and order to Sichuan Province."

Zhou Shuren was worried about his son, "Your Majesty, is Changzhi safe?"

This guy is really capable, he actually found so much evidence!

Emperor, "I have sent another person over. He will not be in danger. Alas, how many people with ideals are disappointed with the court? I couldn't sleep last night."

Zhou Shuren was silent for a while, "So reform is needed."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "That's easy to say."

Zhou Shuren, "."

In Xiaoxi Village, Chuanzhou, Changzhi rented a yard next to the Ding family. The yard was a bit run-down because the Ding family had been unlucky in recent years and their neighbors had moved away, leaving the yard unattended and in disrepair.

Changzhi rented the house and renovated it for two days before moving in. He planned to stay in Xiaoxi Village until the hospital exam was over.

The Ding family's funeral was over. Although the family was sad because they didn't owed interest, they were also in high spirits. Knowing that he had helped, they did not go into the yard because they were in mourning, but kowtowed outside.

Chang Zhi was taking notes in the yard. Ding Jue followed the servant in and said in a reserved tone, "Sir."

Changzhi put down his brush and said, "Sit down."

Ding Jue was a little dazed now. He thought he was going to be a servant, but he never expected that the person in front of him was an official from the imperial court, and an official who was specially sent to investigate the situation in Chuanzhou. "Sir, I have already arranged everything at home. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Changzhi did not answer but asked, "Your title of scholar was wrongly denied to you. Do you really not want to get it back?"

Ding Jue was disheartened about the imperial examination. His mother and elder brother's lives were at stake. His voice was hoarse and very suppressed. "I don't want to."

Chang Zhi sighed inwardly, "The money with interest is your reward for following me for half a year."

He will not continue to help Ding Jue because Ding Jue will not accept it. He has been observing the neighbors coldly these days and has learned that they can survive the hard times without any profit.

Ding Jue knew the master's kindness, and he could only repay the master with his heart, "Thank you, master."

Chang Zhi did not tell Ding Jue that someone had replaced him in the Autumn Examination, fearing that Ding Jue would not be able to bear it. He also did not tell Ding Jue that he came for the imperial examination. He said to Ding Jue, "Help me sort out the information about the An family."

Ding Jue was a little confused, "An family?"

Changzhi pointed to the record book on the table and said, "You will understand once you take a look at it. However, you need to know what to ask and what not to ask."

Ding Jue's heart was pounding. He reached out and touched the booklet. "I understand. I will definitely not hold you back."

In the capital, Zhulan took Yuwen and Miss He to the Women's College. Miss He was curious about the college, so the two girls stayed with her for the whole morning.

On the way back to the city in the afternoon, He Sishi said, "Madam, I heard from the county lord that the college has opened two new courses this year."

Zhulan said, "Well, the Ministry of Industry has sold a lot of patented technologies. Businesses buy patents to improve technologies, but they are short of manpower in production, so the college has chosen two industries with the most manpower shortage to offer courses."

The teacher who was invited to give the lecture was still from the Xu family.

He Sishi, "Madam is really amazing."

Yuwen continued, "My grandfather is also amazing. It was the patent grandfather from the Ministry of Industry who came up with it."

The more He Sishi understood the Marquis's Mansion, the more she wanted to marry into it. She agreed, "My grandfather also admires you."

Yuwen was even happier. Zhulan saw that the two girls were chatting again, and her eyes towards Miss He became softer. She was very satisfied with Miss He.

The carriages lined up to enter the city. Zhu Lan spotted Lu Jiaqing with her sharp eyes, "Where are you going, kid?"

Lu Jiaqing was thinking about something, and looked over in the direction of the voice, "Hello, old lady."

Zhulan asked again. Not only was the child in casual clothes, but there was also a bundle hanging in front of the horse.

Lu Jiaqing said, "I asked for leave from the prince to take care of some personal matters."

Zhulan's mind worked quickly. Her grandson had found out about Lu Jiaqing in Chuanzhou, and Changzhi was in Chuanzhou now. Seeing that Lu Jiaqing was going on a long journey, she stretched out her hand without thinking and said, "Why don't you go back to the city and talk to me?"

Lu Jiaqing was stunned. "Old lady?"

Zhulan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Are you going to Chuanzhou?"

Lu Jiaqing, "!!"

Zhu Lan raised her eyebrows and tried to test it. The child was still young. "Let's go."

The guard of the Prince of Qin's mansion who was following from a distance was dumbfounded. Well, he didn't need to follow and would go back to report to the prince first.

Lu Jiaqing was in a state of confusion. How did the old lady know that he was going back to Sichuan?

Zhulan first sent Miss He back to the He Mansion, and then took Lu Jiaqing home.

Back at the Marquis' Mansion, Yuwen looked at Lu Jiaqing. Lu Jiaqing was so nervous when he was swept by her gaze that sweat appeared on his forehead.

Zhulan changed her clothes and came out. "I know you have a secret. For some reasons, I want to ask you a few questions for the safety of my son. You can choose to tell me or not."

Lu Jiaqing still didn't know where he had been exposed, so he said respectfully, "Kid, I understand."

Zhu Lan also asked directly, "Do you have any grudges with Gongbu An's family?"

Lu Jiaqing choked up. It was too direct. Thinking of the good things in the Marquis' Mansion and the trust of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he simply replied, "Yes."

Zhu Lan asked again: "The An family's land is in Chuanzhou. Are you going to Chuanzhou to seek revenge?"

After Lu Jiaqing met the An family, he did not intend to continue hiding his life experience. He planned to go back to Chuanzhou first and confess to the prince when he came back. "No, I went back to Chuanzhou to get some things."

Zhulan saw that Lu Jiaqing had no intention of continuing to speak, "Take it back and confess?"

Lu Jiaqing answered straightforwardly, "Yes."

After the An family came to Beijing, his plan was disrupted. He realized that he was moving too slowly step by step. After thinking it over, he decided to tell the prince. He was afraid that his memory would become more vague if he didn't go back, so he asked for leave directly from the prince.

Zhu Lan saw Lu Jiaqing pursing his lips and knew that she couldn't get anything out of him. "Are you curious about why I stopped you?"

Lu Jiaqing said: "Madam just told me the reason."

After meeting the An family, he was immersed in hatred. The prince and the crown prince would not tell him what happened in the Marquis' Mansion, and he really didn't know which master in the Marquis' Mansion it was related to.
