It was already noon when the carriage returned to Li's mansion from Qingliang Mountain. Li Lanting lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. He stretched his waist and then turned his head to the gate. At this time, he was thinking about another thing. Hangzhou magistrate Wei Nanlu would visit him in the afternoon. He now needs to rectify and rest. He should have a drink and banquet at the mansion to entertain the other party in the evening. Before going out, he had notified Butler Liu to be responsible for handling this matter.

After entering the door, Li Lanting took off his coat and said to the servant beside him, "I'll give you instructions later and say that the Hangzhou magistrate will come to visit tonight. Everyone will be more disciplined, so don't lose the face of the Li family."

The servant responded timidly.

It was still early, and Li Lanting was about to walk to the bedroom, but saw Butler Liu coming in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand and handing it to him in a regular manner, "Master, here is a letter from Bianliang to you for your review."

Bianliang.

Li Lanting paused for a moment. The first thing he thought of was his old friend Chen Anzhi. He took the letter from the butler's hand. The cover also read the words Li Lanting's kiss. The sealed lacquer had not been removed. He raised his head and said to the trembling butler Liu, who was trembling beside him, "Who has anyone seen this letter beside you?"

Butler Liu was shocked and immediately realized what the master meant. He said respectfully, "Report to me, no one has seen him except me."

Li Lanting's originally wrinkled brows relaxed. The secrets of party disputes in Bianliang's political arena were originally a matter of publication. He did not want a third person to know about this. After all, it was related to the safety of Chen Zhongqing and their family. Staying with the king is like a tiger, not to mention that there is a Jiu Qiansheng who is more terrifying than a tiger around the emperor. He just used his hands to lightly wash the city of Bianliang.

Li Lanting harshly told the old housekeeper, "Butler Liu, don't disclose this letter. Remember, you can't tell anyone about this matter, even if Ruyan asks you, do you understand? If I know the news, you will know what the ending will be."

Butler Liu buried his head very low. It was the first time he saw the master questioning himself in such a stern tone. He had a premonition that there might be unspeakable secrets behind this. As a servant, he did not even have the qualifications to spy on these secrets.

Thinking of this, Butler Liu's Adam's apple rolled a little, and finally squeezed out a sentence.

"The old slave understands."

Li Lanting entered the room with the letter, closed the door, hung the fire paint with a knife, and spread the letter flat on the table. As his eyes moved down, his originally frowning brow gradually relaxed, and then he sat on the table and chairs of red sandalwood, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Brother An Zhi is so courageous. It seems that my deceased nephew finally doesn't have to hide in this Hangzhou City."

This is the first time he has received good news from Bianliang in three months.

All the members of the coup on the Shangyuan Festival have been arrested. The whole family should be executed, and the exiled. The powerful Jiu Qiansui is quick and neat. After killing the political opponents of the coup with bloody means, he finally firmly controls the political situation of the court. Because Chen Anzhi presented the list of coups, he transformed from a fearful plotter to a celebrity around Fan Xiwen, and became a rising star in the political arena.

All this was completely beyond Li Lanting's expectations. From the Minister of War to the Minister of the Left Pushe, the gap in one step was enough to make others envious.

At the end of the letter, Chen Anzhi instructed Li Lanting that after he completed the arrangements in the court, after the end of the winter of Dingyou, Chen Zhongqing would return to Bianliang in the early spring of the following year.

After returning to Bianliang, Chen Anzhi left a gap, but Li Lanting knew a little bit that their Chen family would become the most fierce family in the court. Chen Zhongxu was elected as an official, and in just four years he went from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a local official in Liangzhe Road. Two or three years later he fell from a local official into the court as an official. Among them, the operation behind Chen An's family made an indelible contribution. Chen Zhongqing, who was stunning in the future, will only come from behind and his power will increase.

A stunning success, a stunning success.

After all, this Hangzhou City made a difficult situation for him. Only when he arrived at the most prosperous and wealthy capital in Southern Jin was the place where he truly displayed his ambitions.

The groom slowly lowered the curtain of the car embroidered with the peony pattern in Luoyang. The wind blew up Wei Nanlu's left sleeve, revealing a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads. He closed his eyes slightly, and felt as if he was worried about anything, and he confirmed the gifts he had prepared around him again.

"This calligraphy and painting was painted by Linyixian. The jade carved seal was a small thing sent by the Su family. It is also a precious gift with a very elegant taste. Mr. Lanting also likes to eat rice cakes from Fengweizhai. Well, the etiquette is complete. It is certain that there are no omissions."

Wei Nanlu curled up his lips. He was different from the Huang Magistrate of Yangzhou who was determined to climb up. While managing his own acre of three parts of the land, he also established a relationship with the local powerful nobles. Although Li Lanting only became an official in Bianliang in his early years, and then his career was bumpy. He was exiled to Bashu until he finally left, this does not mean that his influence in Hangzhou is not as good as that of others. In just ten years, those who can become a great scholar in Hangzhou are not only good at character, but more importantly, their influence is.

Moreover, there was Zhang Xun behind him, who was the former minister of the imperial court and the royal relatives of Bianliang. Not many people knew his identity, and even Wei Nanlu knew the inside story inadvertently. Although Zhang Xun was very close to Li Lanting, he kept a distance from the officials of Liangzhe Road intentionally or unintentionally. He seemed to be very deliberate, avoiding the government. Perhaps it was because the royal relatives of the Southern Jin Dynasty were not allowed to interfere in the national affairs of the ancestral teachings, which made Zhang Xun beware of being caught.

These not-so-expensive gifts cannot serve as a timely help, but they can still play a role in adding icing on the cake.

Wei Nanlu took a deep breath. The court was not peaceful recently, and Liangzhe Road may not be as calm as possible. The original strategy commander Chen Zhongxu was preparing to transfer from here to the court to serve as an official. It is said that this person has a deep background in the court. His father is the Minister of War, one of the six ministries, and his uncle is the Minister of War, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. With this identity background, he has been allowed to be gilded in the local area for two or three years. After returning to the court, he will definitely be a new generation of pillars of the court. At present, many people are staring at the position of the commander. Huang Liangchun, the prefect of Yangzhou, racked his brains to go up and down to the court. If he wants to take this position, many prefectures are the hardest and most sure to win.

He had this idea, but he didn't have the connection to manage it. After all, the Liangzhe Road Management is still a rare position for him, but if he could get into a relationship with that Lord Chen Zhongxu, Wei Nanlu's future career might be a little easier.

As for now, it is better to make some achievements steadily, and when the opportunity is right, the water will naturally rise.

Thinking of this, Wei Nanlu raised the curtains and looked at the bustling streets where pedestrians and pawns were shoulder to shoulder. The corners of his mouth were accidentally curled up. After all, this is the most prosperous and fertile Hangzhou City.

Wei Nanlu remembered something and murmured to himself, "I heard that Hangzhou Ci Jing will produce a young man with good literary talent. I heard that it is the young man who is favored by Lord Lanting and Lord Zhang Xun. If you have the chance, I want to see it. There are not many young man who are amazing these days. If the opportunity is right, you can recommend it. It is considered as selling a favor to Lord Lanting."
