Chapter 282 Imperial List
Qinglong raised an eyebrow when he saw his reaction, "Why, you know him?"
Yuan Er nodded, "I have been investigating someone trying to poison the master recently, and this An Xianhe is involved."
"The Hu Ji who poisoned the master was redeemed by An Xianhe from the brothel."
Qinglong's eyes changed, "Have you found out who this An Xianhe is?"
Yuan Er shook his head. "I only know that he travels a lot and never stays in one place for more than seven days."
"He came today and told me directly that he wanted to buy this Minglou." Qinglong said as he stood up and looked in the direction of An Xianhe.
This person must be guarded against.
If anyone poisons the master, he will be killed without mercy.
"Want to buy Minglou!" Yuan Er walked up to him in surprise.
Qinglong nodded, "So, his purpose is self-evident."
"Tell me what you found out. We can't let the poison master's people roam around."
"Is this the reason you came to see me?"
Yuan Er said: "It wasn't originally."
"Aren't you investigating the foreigners in Anbei City? That Hu Ji fled to Anbei City and came into contact with those people from the Church of God."
"Before she left, Hu Ji left behind a piece of unburned paper with the address of Anbei City Lane 3 on it. The people living in this place are members of the Church of God."
Qinglong looked at him and nodded, "I know this, but this is just one of their small bases."
"But this An Xianhe is probably related to the Church of God. I will arrange for someone to investigate him and see if we can find out anything else. Go and report this to the Crown Prince."
"If it's confirmed, I will kill him directly."
Yuan Er nodded, "I'll give you some Du Ling flowers. Remember the smell and be careful not to get into trouble."
"That Gui Sui is most likely An Xianhe's man, so he must have Du Linghua in his hand."
Qinglong nodded and took the small bottle from his hand.
As soon as Yuan Er left, Ming Lou's maid came to report that someone tried to poison and was caught by the secret guards.
Qinglong nodded and walked towards the secret cellar in Minglou.
After just a brief interrogation, the result came out. Qinglong didn't say anything more and directly had the person who poisoned him hanged in front of the gate of Ji Chenghou's mansion.
After knowing the whole story, Ji Chenghou directly applied family rules.
"Why would you mess with Ming Lou when you can mess with anyone else? Don't you know that even His Majesty and the Queen have praised Ming Lou? There is a high possibility that someone behind him is from the royal family."
"You are such a rebellious son, you are so stupid that you don't even think about the consequences, right? How dare you go after them?"
"If I am dismissed from office, you will be the first one to be beaten to death. Reflect on your actions in front of your ancestors and pray that nothing will happen to me."
Ren Ping knelt in front of the ancestral tablet, unable to understand how Ming Lou discovered the poison he had asked a thief to administer.
Just when he was puzzled, a figure appeared in front of him.
Ren Ping looked up and saw only a dark mask. He almost screamed, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
The masked man stood straight, looking at him with his eyes slightly lowered, "Do you want to take revenge on Minglou? Do you want to be the one in control?"
"What do you mean?" Ren Ping stood up.
"If you want, just listen to me." The masked man said and disappeared.
Ren Ping's eyes widened and his mouth trembled, "Gone, disappeared!"

After listening to Yuan Er's report, Hui Chengyuan immediately asked him to make an appointment with An Xianhe.
But unexpectedly, this man had already left Kyoto and headed east.
Hui Chengyuan looked at the map, pointed at Xiandong, and asked Yuanyi to tell the people in Xiandong to check carefully to see who this An Xianhe was.
Yuan Man saw that the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, but Yao Yao had not arrived yet, so he called Yuan Er.
"You didn't send anyone to pick up Yaoyao?"
Yuan Er said helplessly: "I sent someone, and the message came back saying that my father-in-law didn't allow her to come."
"We said we'll wait until next spring to set a date."
"Yaoyao can't make a scene, so she has to stay in Yaocheng obediently. When a date is set, send a message to me, and I will pick her up in person."
Yuan Man asked in surprise: "Didn't my brother say before that the wedding would be held in Yaocheng? Why did he ask you to bring Yaoyao out?"
Yuan Er shook his head. "No, I sent a message to my father-in-law and told him to let Yaoyao decorate the house here according to her preferences, even according to the customs of the Yao people."
Yuan Man smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Okay, when you go to pick her up, just let me know in advance."
Yuan Er agreed with a smile.

It was the last grand court meeting of the year. Everyone entered the palace with smiles on their faces, but when they came out, they all had sad faces.
The prince suggested that since all the ministers suggested disaster relief, he hoped that every minister could contribute and everyone could donate money for disaster relief.
Although it is a personal choice, it would be embarrassing to take too little and it would be a shame to take too much.
Then the prince recounted the great achievements of the crown princess, saying that the crown princess donated grain, winter clothes and quilts, and also donated a lot of grain seeds, with a value of more than one million taels.
He even donated a lot of money and things to the north in the name of the emperor, and also took in disaster victims in the name of the emperor.
But the Crown Prince didn’t even look at who was behind the Crown Princess. That was the wealthy Marquis Leshan. How could he be compared to him?
But they had no choice but to donate, so everyone left the palace with worried faces.
On the second day, Hui Chengyuan received the detailed donation list from the ministers. After reading it, he raised his brows.
"Ling Feng, have someone copy these and post them on the imperial list. Also write that this money will be used for disaster relief in the north. It will be erected in Gangfeng County at the end of the Taiyuan River immediately after the new year."
Ling Feng took the donation list and walked out.
After the notice was posted, all the people saw it. When they saw that the first ones were the Crown Princess and the Emperor, they all started talking about it.
"You think the Crown Princess really donated so many things?"
"How could this be false? My niece married someone from the north. When my sister-in-law arranged for people to deliver supplies, she heard that the Crown Princess had delivered a lot of things before the snowstorm. Later, when the snowstorm came, His Majesty arranged for people to deliver a lot of things again, and also arranged for those families who were severely affected to stay in shelters temporarily."
"Why didn't the prince donate?"
"What are you thinking? Husband and wife are one. Since the Crown Princess donated so much, it means that the Crown Prince has also donated."
"That's right. Who knows how much of the donations from the Crown Princess came from the Crown Prince?"
When these things reached the ears of the ministers, many people suddenly appeared in front of the list, all to see how much each minister had donated.
When the ministers found out about their rankings, they secretly hated themselves and wondered why they didn't donate more so that they could at least rank higher. Then, when the monument was erected, their names wouldn't be placed too far back for people to remember.
However, the matter has been settled and there is no point in thinking about it.
