Chapter 46 Lin Wan'er: What are the side effects of this medicine?
As soon as Li Changan walked out of the palace, he saw Wang Qinian chatting with Xing Yusen, the chief constable of the Ministry of Justice.
Name: Xing Yusen
Age: 35 years old
Realm: Eighth Grade Middle
Talents: Sword Skills (9th Rank), Reconnaissance (7th Rank)
Abilities: Reconnaissance (8th rank), Command (5th rank), Management (3rd rank)
Emotion: 30
Wang Qinian was saying something righteously, and Xing Yusen frowned, looking a little conflicted.
"Old Xing, we are already acquaintances. I won't tell him that we are no longer brothers!"
"You only make a dozen taels of silver a month, why are you risking your life for this?"
"The Chief Constable of the Ministry of Justice sounds impressive, but he is only at the same level as a sixth-rank official, so his career path is not bright."
"You will be His Highness's personal guard, at least as a deputy commander, for 180 taels a month!"
Xing Yusen smacked his lips, "Oh my god, ten times! If it weren't for the people here, I would have really gone with my brother."
Wang Qinian saw that there was a way and he could find an eighth-grade master for Li Changan.
He was about to continue lobbying, but Han Zhiwei had already trotted over, "Wang Qinian! Shut up!"
"You have already tricked the chief constable of Kyoto Prefecture into becoming Prince Yong's personal guard, and now you are even planning on becoming the chief constable of the Ministry of Justice!"
When Wang Qinian saw Minister Han coming, he immediately ran away and hid behind Li Changan.
Li Changan bowed to Han Shangshu and said, "Don't mind it, Lord Han. I was just joking."
"This king has just implemented a new regulation. If this king does not get injured within a year, the guards will receive 20 months' salary for that year!"
"If Lao Wang really wanted to win over Captain Xing, how could he not tell him such an important thing?"
"Master Han, Captain Xing, I'll take my leave now!"
Li Changan took Wang Qinian away, leaving Captain Xing muttering to himself.
"Twenty months' salary a year, there is such a good thing in the world!"
Han Shangshu said quickly, "Old Xing, you have to stay calm. I have applied for the title of Daqing Shenfei for you, and it will be issued soon!"
The incident of the brothel girl suing Prince Yong became known to the whole city.
But most people felt that Prince Yong had met the wrong person and was even bitten by a brothel girl.
"Wow! Didn't you see that? The carriage of the brothel girl was speeding at lightning speed, and in the end the wheels were knocked off!"
"The brothel girl filed a complaint against the emperor, and the person she filed a complaint against was Prince Daqing. I am really enlightened!"
"There are chaste women in a brothel? There is definitely something wrong with these two women!"
"Your Majesty is very perceptive and has not punished His Royal Highness Prince Yong too severely!"
……
The palace acted very quickly. Eunuch Hou personally sent Liu Shuyan to Prince Yong's Mansion, and Emperor Qing also rewarded her with a lot of gold and silver.
When she saw Li Changan, Liu Shuyan looked unfriendly and twisted his ears without saying a word.
"At such a young age, you are so naughty and even imitate others to go to a brothel!"
"I heard that you even invited some random singing girls to sing at the palace. That's really outrageous!"
"Come here, punish Zhao Gao with a hundred strokes of the cane first! Xiren and Qingwen, you are not allowed to stay with His Highness from now on..."
The entire Yongwang Mansion and everyone around Li Changan were punished to varying degrees.
Eunuch Hou saw Zhao Gao being beaten with a stick from afar and his mouth twitched in pain.
"Although Lao Zhao is a ninth-rank, you should at least use your true qi to resist. This is so painful."
Wang Qinian beside him thought to himself, you were sent by His Majesty to supervise, and you are a grand master.
If Zhao Gao uses his true energy, you will definitely find out! This eunuch Hou is so evil!
Eunuch Hou looked for a while and decided to leave.
"Wang Qinian, I heard that you are the most active person in Kyoto. Why are you so reserved today?"
As soon as Eunuch Hou opened his mouth, Wang Qinian shuddered unconsciously!
He thought it was the first time he had met a grandmaster in his life, and he was excited and terrified at the same time, and was indeed more reserved than usual.
Without saying a word, Wang Qinian took out the ten thousand taels of silver notes arranged by Prince Yong and respectfully handed it to Eunuch Hou.
"Eunuch Hou has worked hard. He is a popular figure around His Majesty. I dare not act rashly."
Eunuch Hou was so shrewd that he knew the value of the banknote at just a glance, and his hands were shaking as he took the banknote!
It was indeed His Royal Highness Prince Yong, who spent ten thousand taels of silver notes at once! Seeing Eunuch Hou's trembling hands, Wang Qinian secretly admired him. He was indeed a great master, and he disguised himself so well!
Li Changan finally coaxed Liu Shuyan into submission with his sweet talk.
"Mother, you are back now, but the show has to go on..."
Dali Temple Prison.
Si Lili did a great job this time, and Li Changan was very satisfied, so her men were released.
He arranged for the Kyoto Luowang to take care of the jailers at the Dali Temple, so that Si Lili and Yuan Meng's punishments were not severe and they would not be bullied in prison.
But this incident caused a big stir, and the two were imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison for a month without being exempted for a single day.
Fortunately, the trial was not open to the public, and Yuan Meng’s “special hobby” was only circulated in a small circle.
Beating and imprisonment in shackles are necessary punishments for filing a complaint with the emperor, and the complainant must accept them regardless of whether he wins or loses.
Yuan Meng's white cloth head rested on the heavy shackles, not daring to move.
During this month, she couldn't help but criticize Si Lili every day.
"I heard that the Emperor gave you two hundred thousand taels of silver from the inner court as compensation. What do you want?"
"The poem and calligraphy that His Royal Highness Prince Yong gave you is worth 70,000 to 80,000 taels!"
"If you serve him well, I can easily earn millions of taels by just writing a few poems for you!"
"I've been in the Flowing Crystal River for so many years, and I've never seen anyone as stupid as you!"
Si Lili was also very upset. She felt more aggrieved than anyone else!
All of this was done by His Royal Highness Prince Yong. It was not enough to just play with her, he also had to do this!
She also wanted to get close to Li Changan so that she would not have to worry about food and drink in the future, and she could also find out the news about Nanqing.
But Prince Yong has so many tricks up his sleeve, what can she do!
"Yuan Meng, shut up! If you say one more word, I'll kick you in the face!"
Every day's arguments ended with such threats.
Three months later, in the imperial study.
Emperor Qing was rubbing his bow and arrow while listening to Eunuch Hou's report.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yong's Mansion is very lively right now, with chaos every now and then.
His Royal Highness Prince Yong cannot listen to music, and he quarrels with Concubine Liu every few days."
"The eunuchs and maids around His Royal Highness Prince Yong have been beaten for him."
"The Ministry of Justice and the Inspection Office also sent people to teach Your Highness criminal law, but they were often so angry that they left in anger."
"Your Highness often says that the whole world belongs to the king. The whole world belongs to the Li family, so the royal family must be above the king's law!"
After hearing this, Emperor Qing sneered twice, "It's really lawless. What happened to the two women who filed the complaint?"
Eunuch Hou replied, "It is a taboo for prostitutes to harass their patrons. Their reputations have been ruined, and they can no longer do brothel business."
"I don't know what tricks Yuan Meng used, but she hooked up with Prince Jing again and opened a small brothel of her own."
"The Inspection Bureau investigated Si Lili. She came from a gang, so she has a fierce temper. She is still in Zuixianju, responsible for training the oiran."
Royal Villa.
Lin Wan'er, wearing a white dress, was learning embroidery, and the windows of the room were open as usual.
Li Changan told her early on that she should eat more meat and open the windows more often, so Lin Wan'er was in good condition.
There was a slight sound near the window. Lin Wan'er stopped her needlework and a shy smile appeared on her pretty face.
She glanced out the window and saw that it was indeed her uncle Prince Yong whom she had been thinking about all the time.
Ever since she read Romance of the West Chamber, she would never lock the windows even when she went to bed at night.
"Wan'er, I brought you something good!"
Lin Wan'er's social phobia has been cured by Li Changan, but she is still very shy.
When she saw Li Changan, Lin Wan'er's face turned red with embarrassment. "Wan'er greets Uncle Prince Yong."
Li Changan had already opened the small box, and Lin Wan'er revealed an expression of surprise that she could not hide!
"Uncle Yong, you have found medicine to cure tuberculosis."
Li Changan tapped Lin Wan'er's fair forehead and said, "I found it, but there may be some side effects."
Lin Wan'er, who was anxious to cure tuberculosis, showed a worried look, "What is...the side effect?"
