Chapter 246 The water in Chang'an is as deep as a cold abyss

"The treasure should be placed here first. I want to let you meet the Empress and Your Majesty. If you present it yourself, the effect will be better."

After curling his greed, Yang Zhao began to plan for Ye Chang. First, the two of them had a friendship, and when he was in a downturn, Ye Chang gave him a lot of help; second, Ye Chang knew how to be a human being, and actually gave him such a precious glass incense burner.

Yang Zhao has many bad things, but he is quite outstanding in his nostalgia and loyalty. Legend has it that he had been away from home for two years. When he returned home, his wife was pregnant. He claimed that he was pregnant because he missed him too much and was in line with him in his dream. Others laughed at his hat for turning green on his head, but he admitted it calmly and treated his wife as usual.

Hearing him say that he would meet Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji, Ye Chang nodded slightly: "Brother Yang, I'm not polite to you."

Regarding Liaodong, he has a further plan. He originally planned to propose it a few years later, but now he has controlled Jilizhou in advance, so this plan must also be advanced.

Yang Zhao accepted the gift and said goodbye. Ye Chang sent him out. When he arrived at the door, he saw someone wandering in front of him. After a closer look, it turned out to be Lin Xixia, the servant of Qinshou. Seeing Ye Chang looking at him, Lin Xixia hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Ye Langjun, I finally saw you."

Ye Chang heard his voice with a sob, frowning: "Get up quickly, come in and talk, but what happened?"

"Langjun Ye, please save my husband." Lin Xixiao said: "What happened to him?"

Qin Qinshou and Ye Chang are old friends. Ye Chang knows him well. He is calm and reliable and knowledgeable. Since he got Ye Chang's support, he has been in Chang'an for four years. For a while, Ye Chang even settled in Chang'an.

With his knowledge, what will happen?

"What happened to Mr. Qin? Tell me quickly. If you don't say it, I know how to help him?"

Lin Xixia then told the matter intermittently, and it was another dispute of internal struggle. Qin Qinshou was not a direct descendant in the Qin family. Because of his outstanding performance, he was valued by the old patriarch, and sent to Chang'an to preside over the most important industry of the Qin family. First, Ye Chang supported him, and second, he had his own ability. Now the industry is very prosperous. Shops were opened in the West and East cities. But at the end of last year, the old patriarch who supported him died, and the new patriarch arranged his confidants to do so, and would not let go of the fat meat in his eyes and the grocery store in Chang'an City.

However, it would be fine if Qin Qinshou just wanted to hand over the industry. Qin Qinshou had left a way out for himself over the years and had accumulated some property. He planned to set up a small shop in Chang'an. However, the people sent to replace him were not aware of business and offended the powerful people in the capital. The shop was circulated, and then Qin Qinshou was pushed out to take the blame.

Originally, Qin Qinshou had some connections in Chang'an City, but now these connections are useless. He was sent to Jingzhao Prison, which has been around for one month now.

"I hope my husband will come back every day and come to my husband's house every day. Unexpectedly, I finally waited for my husband." Speaking of this, Lin Xixia burst into tears and said, "I'll ask my husband to save my master."

"Don't worry, I will never sit idly by the friendship between Qin Jun," said Ye Chang.

However, his heart suddenly jumped. Qin Qinshou was just an insignificant little person in Chang'an City, but was sent to Jingzhao Prison... If there was nothing strange behind this, Ye Chang would definitely not believe it.

"Mr. Qin is in prison these days, so you deliver food every day?" Ye Chang asked again.

"yes"

"What did he say? Do you know you came to ask me for help?"

"This..." Lin Xixia's expression was a little strange.

When Qin Qinshou was imprisoned and no one could save him, Lin Xixia proposed to ask Ye Chang for help, but Qin Qinshou insisted on not allowing it. In other words, he was against Qin Qinshou's orders.

"Why don't you say it?" Ye Chang frowned again when he saw that he stopped talking. Lin Xizhai was a little strange, and he had experienced it while practicing martial arts.

"Uh, my master said... Ye Langjun decided..."

"Okay, don't say it, I want to go to prison to meet your master." Seeing him hesitate, Ye Chang knew there was a big problem, so he waved his hand and asked him to leave.

After hearing Ye Chang say this, Lin Xixiao dared not hide it. He immediately said, "My master was locked up in confusion. I said I wanted to ask Ye Langjun for help, but he said he didn't..."

"So... that's it." Ye Chang immediately understood that there must be something else behind this, and it's probably not just the problem that the Qin family offended the powerful.

He was thinking, suddenly someone came outside to report: "A man named Tan asked for a meeting."

"Ah?" Ye Chang was stunned. The only one with the surname Qinshou dealt with him. Lin Xixiao said that Qinshou was in prison. So who is the surname Qin?

"Please come in." Ye Chang ordered.

After a while, the thin and haggard Qin Qinshou walked in. Lin Xixia hurriedly greeted him, looking surprised and happy: "How can the husband escape?"

Glazed at him, Qin Qinshou bowed to Ye Chang and said, "It's not up to the power of the Langjun, Qin has almost become a dead bone in prison."

Ye Chang waved his hand and said, "I dare not take this contribution. I don't know what the reason is.

"It's Li Xiao, the son of the former left prime minister." Qin Qinshou smiled bitterly.

"How do you say this?" Ye Chang suddenly remembered this person. If he said that this person was bad, it might not be possible, but there was indeed a disagreement between him and Ye Chang at the beginning.

"I asked the Eleventh Lang to have a blessing, and I made friends with Mr. He, and Mr. He introduced me to Li Xiao..."

It turned out that Qin Qinshou's greatest support in Chang'an City was Li Xiao. Because of He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu, he met Li Xiao and had to give him generous gifts during the New Year. Even when He Zhizhang retired and Ye Chang and Li Shizhi gradually parted ways, Qin Qinshou and Li Xiao were still very close. However, this closeness changed with Li Shizhi's difficult situation. After Qin Qinshou was replaced by a newcomer sent by the Qin family, he became even more useless to Li Xiao.

"Li Xiao himself has nothing, but the people around him coveted the income of the two shops of the Qin family that has thousands of tumbled every year. They encouraged him to take action and found the fault of the Qin family, saying that they sold banned goods and were guilty of usurpation. The Qin family couldn't hold on and thought I had something to do, so they pulled me in. However, Li Xiao was not worried about his old friendship and imprisoned me, probably because he wanted to bite Ye Langjun from my mouth."

Ye Chang understood the cause and effect when he heard this. Qin Qinshou was quite tactful, but in fact, he was just a tool for Li Xiao to vent his anger. Li Xiao couldn't do anything to Ye Chang, so he thought that Qin Qinshou had a very good relationship with Ye Chang, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the Qin family selling banned goods and wanted to pull Ye Chang down through Qin Qinshou.

No wonder Qin Qinshou did not let Lin Xixia ask for help from him. He did not intervene in this matter. Qinshou still had a way out. If he intervened, Li Xiao would definitely use methods to criticize Ye Chang first, and then silence him.

"Brother Qin is suffering...but why is Brother Qin coming out again now?"

"But it was a Lu Langjun who let me out. The Lu Langjun had a large blue spot on his face, which looked ugly." Qin Qinshou was also a little surprised: "He said that since Ye Langjun is back, I can be released from prison..."

"Lu Qi"

Ye Chang knew who Lu Langjun was without thinking. Of course, Lu Qi himself could not get involved in the prison affairs of Jingzhao Yin, but now he defected to Li Linfu. After Li Linfu promoted Ji Wen, he wanted to get people in Jingzhao Prefecture, so he considered Lu Qi.

"Has Jingzhao Yin ever interrogated you?" Ye Chang asked again.

Today, Jingzhao Yin is Xiao Jing, who is a party of Li Linfu. Like Li Linfu, he is also a white-named gentleman. When he was a minister, he even pronounced "Fu La" as "Fu, Hun", so this person is called Fu, Hunting. Ye Chang asked him if he had interrogated him, and even wanted to know whether Xiao Jing was involved in this matter. If he also participated, then the problem would be big.

"I have never... only a few minor officials came to ask in prison."

Ye Chang nodded, the situation was not the worst. Although Xiao Jing was a Li Linfu's gangster, he might not agree with Ye Chang. As long as he did not directly intervene in the matter, Li Xiao would be the only one to deal with.

He was thinking about how to deal with this guy, but suddenly, he had an idea and felt that he had thought of something again

Xiao Jing did not fail to intervene. He had actually intervened for a long time. His ignorance was just an intervention. However, he was not as stupid as Li Xiao, and his target was not Ye Chang, but Li Shizhi.

Just imagine, if Li Xiao killed Qinshou and he intervened at this time, put Li Xiao in prison, and then implicated Li Shizhi, wouldn’t it be a relief for Li Linfu to get rid of a problem?

No wonder Lu Qi said when he let Qin Qinshou go away, since Ye Chang comes, Qin Qinshou can be released from prison. If Ye Chang comes and doesn't let Qin Qinshou go away, he is calculating Ye Chang. Others don't know, but Lu Qi knows very well that Ye Chang is famous for turning against others. Then Ye Chang goes crazy and hates Xiao Jiong together, which will be detrimental to the interests of Li Linfu's faction.

"This Chang'an City... is really a turbulent situation. Although Li Linfu's party is plotting in every way, is their opponent really Li Shizhi's rough temperament and his brainless son Li Xiao?"

Ye Chang thought about this and felt vaguely that it didn't seem like this. Li Shizhi and Li Xiao were not Li Linfu's opponents at all. They had a greater possibility that they were just being pushed out to restrain Li Linfu's pawns.

There is someone else behind the scenes...

No matter who is behind the scenes, since Li Xiao wants to use Qin Qinshou to pull Ye Chang down, then Ye Chang will not be with him.

"Brother Qin, since he was released from prison safely, I will stay here temporarily. I will ask someone to prepare water to wash away the bad luck for you." Ye Chang said to Qin Qinshou.

He asked Qin Qinshou to arrange for him and sent someone out. Li Linfu already knew that he had returned to Chang'an, but Chong Niang and others might not know, so he had to notify him first. Especially Chong Niang, Ye Chang also needed to rely on her influence among the female relatives in Chang'an City.

Qin Qinshou came to see Ye Chang again after finishing his washing. Ye Chang asked, "What are your plans for Brother Qin?"

Qin Qinshou was silent for a while, then stood up and bowed to Ye Chang: "I don't want to stay in Chang'an anymore. I just want to go back to my hometown and use my savings to buy some land, so I can take care of my old age at home from now on."

"Why did Brother Qin say this?" Ye Chang was surprised.

Qin Qinshou was heartbroken by this incident. His family forced him to hand over his property before, and after the incident, he pushed him out as a scapegoat. His resentment and anger in his heart could not be exaggerated. In front of Ye Chang, he did not want to speak badly, so he could only remain silent.

"It's better to do this. I'm now in Liaodong and am preparing to develop a business. I need someone to help me." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Chang said, "If Brother Qin doesn't abandon me, can I go to Liaodong to help me?"

Qin Qinshou hesitated for a while. Ye Chang had a long time ago. He knew it very well, but he had only pretended not to know Ye Chang's kindness. Now it is different. Although he and the family have not broken up, it is impossible for him to return to their old age. In this case, going to Liaodong may be a way out.

"Brother Qin, I was originally not close to each other, so I shouldn't say something, but today I can only speak. If you go back to the countryside and live in seclusion from now on, you can get rid of right and wrong? Not to mention anything else, the shop in the Chang'an City of Qin seems to be gone. Someone must bear such a huge loss. Brother Qin thinks, who is the best scapegoat?"

Qin Qinshou was very smart. He had just been lucky before. After Ye Chang reminded him, he immediately understood that if he returned to his hometown to buy land at this time, he would be afraid that the losses would be all over his head. It might even be said that he had embezzled the money from Gongzhong in the past few years.

In this way, his reputation will be destroyed, so how can he live in seclusion with peace of mind?

"Okay, I'll go to Liaodong with you." Thinking of this, he made a quick decision.

"Not only you, but also the people you met before, can take them to Liaodong as long as you have some skills. I am there and there is very shortage of staff." Ye Chang laughed and said, "With Brother Qin's help, we will definitely be able to do a great career in Liaodong."

Ye Chang is quite trustworthy of Qin Qinshou's ability. Although this person doesn't study much, he has a good attitude towards affairs and is diligent and hardworking. He is even stronger than Liu Kun in terms of ability. With his help, Ye Chang can free himself from the cumbersome daily affairs and study some technical improvements with the craftsmen.

"There are many such people in Chang'an City..." Qin Qinshou hesitated a little: "But the place in Liaodong... they may not be willing to go."

"I may not be willing to go now, and I may not be unwilling to go in a month." Ye Chang said confidently.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound suddenly came from outside, and then someone rushed in. Shanzhi next to him stood in front of Ye Chang, frowned: "Who dares to trespass?"

The person who came was a small official, with dozens of soldiers. Although Ye Chang was carrying guards, he did not dare to use a knife when facing these people without Ye Chang's orders. The small official entered in high spirits and said in a deep voice: "But Xiangping Guard Ye Chang?"

The guard Ye Chang, who followed in "rudely", shouted angrily and was about to step forward, but was blocked by the guard of the little official.
