Chapter four hundred and eighty eighth

An old alley, an old-looking courtyard, with two huge bold characters written in Li's mansion, which is the mansion of Li Qiyuan, the former Minister of Revenue.

Although he was the Minister of Revenue and had made a lot of money in private, Li Qiyuan also knew how deep the water in the capital was, so he was quite low-key on weekdays.

In the living room in the front yard, Li Qiyuan looked a little nervous, "Muzhai, I will send someone to spread the news as agreed. Now this matter is getting worse and worse. Even the Jinyiwei and the East Factory have intervened. If Your Majesty knew that I did this, I would definitely not spare me. You must help me at that time."

Qian Qianyi, who was sitting in front of Li Qiyuan, looked at Li Qiyuan who was a little nervous, his eyes flashed for a moment, and he comforted with a smile: "Brother Zhijie, don't worry, we did this matter quite secretly. The hawks and dogs of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei will definitely not be able to find us. Besides, take a step back and say, even if the Dongchang found your head, so what if you found out? You just told a few truths. Did your Majesty spread any rumors? What can you do if Your Majesty knows? Brother Zhijie doesn't have to be so nervous, just keep your heart in your stomach."

"Thank you so much for Muzhai." Li Qiyuan's expression relaxed, and he reached out to wipe his forehead and breathed a long sigh.

Looking at Li Qiyuan who was relieved, a trace of contempt flashed in Qian Qianyi's eyes and he said, "So... Since Brother Zhijie is fine, then I will say goodbye first."

Li Qiyuan personally sent Qian Qianyi out of the gate. Seeing Qian Qianyi's disappearing figure, the smile that was originally hanging on his face disappeared. He turned around and ordered the butler who was following him: "Tell your wife immediately, pack up and we will go back to our hometown in Shanxi immediately!"

"What... go back immediately?" The butler was stunned.

He knows this master butler who has been with him for most of his life. He is an official fan at all. Since he was dismissed from office, he has been reluctant to return to his hometown and stayed in the capital to try to recover. Why did he suddenly figure it out today?

"Why... didn't you hear it clearly?" Li Qiyuan said anxiously: "The East Factory and the Jinyiwei have already set their sights on us. The capital city can't be staying anymore, and you must go back immediately. After my wife and I leave, you can leave two to see the house. Do you understand?"

The housekeeper asked in confusion: "But Master, didn't that Master Qian tell you that it's okay? We don't have to hurry back, right?"

Li Qiyuan glared at the butler. If the butler hadn't been following him since he was a child, he would have cursed. He said impatiently: "What do you know? Qian Qianyi, this husband, has seen through it. This is a ruthless guy who can't afford to gain profit and is ruthless. It's just a whimsical idea to expect him to help me overcome the difficulties."

"But..." The housekeeper was a little shocked. Didn't his master talk and laugh with the person just now? Why did he turn around and say something else?

Li Qiyuan ignored the shocked butler and waved his hand and said, "Okay... don't ask too much, go and say to the wife immediately, and prepare the carriage and horses. After lunch, we will set off immediately!"

Although Li Qiyuan was greedy and short-sighted, he still had some vision in some aspects. After the conversation just now, he immediately realized that although Qian Qianyi said so nicely, he was sure that as soon as something happened to him, he would definitely be abandoned as an abandoned child. With a quick decision, he immediately made the decision to run away.

"What... Li Qiyuan ran away?"

The commander of the Jinyiwei, Tian Er, had his eyes wide open, and then his face turned a little pale, which was so angry.

Standing in front of him was Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the middle-aged man in his thirties with a hooked nose and likes to always squint his small eyes, has always been famous for his ruthlessness. Many officials in the capital would tremble when they heard his name.

This morning, when Xianchun was ordered to "invite" Li Qiyuan to the Jinyiwei to investigate, Li Qiyuan's mansion had already been empty, leaving only two servants who were guarding the house. After asking, he found out that Li Qiyuan had run away at noon yesterday. Xu Xianchun, who had returned empty-handed, could only return in disappointment and report the situation to Tian Ergeng.

Looking at Tian Ergeng staring at his gloomy face, Xu Xianchun suggested: "Sir, why don't we send our brothers to chase you? The two servants from the Li Mansion told me that Li Qiyuan left only at noon yesterday, so it's still time for us to catch up."

"It's too late!"

Tian Ergeng sighed lightly and shook his head: "Although Li Qiyuan is greedy, he is not stupid. Since he has been away for a day, it will be difficult for us to find him again."

"What are you afraid of? If you can run away, the monk can't run away. Let's go to the sea to arrest him directly!" Xu Xianchun said with gritted teeth. Today he was empty, which made him feel very uncomfortable. More importantly, Li Qiyuan was the person Zhu Youxiao was going to arrest, but he actually ran out of his hands. What would Tian Ergeng look at him and what would the emperor look at him? This was the most uncomfortable for him who was determined to climb up.

"Nonsense, if we can go to sea to arrest the official documents, will it be necessary for our Jinyiwei to take action?"

Tian Ergeng gave him annoyed look. Li Qiyuan spreads Yang Feng's incident around the capital, which is really not a big deal. After all, there is no crime in fabricating facts and slandering others these days. Li Qiyuan can completely shirk it. What's so bad is that this incident was originally a fact and could not be mentioned on the table. After all, it is not a glorious thing to openly plunder the enemy's woman. Originally, this incident was very popular in the capital. If the matter was made bigger, it would not end. Maybe it would even attract Yang Feng's anger. This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao asked Tian Ergeng to arrest Li Qiyuan secretly, but now Li Qiyuan ran away.

After pondering for a while, Tian Ergeng shook his head: "Forget it, this matter will end here in advance. I will report to Your Majesty before deciding what to do. You must not do it before this."

"The official understands!" Xu Xianchun responded respectfully, a hint of regret and unwillingness flashed across his face, and his heart was also moving quickly. After all, he had to find a way to make up for it. Otherwise, if Tian Ergeng and the emperor had an opinion on him, then he would have a bright future.

Just as the Donglin Party and the emperor were fighting in the capital, another group of people also came to Xiamen and asked to visit Yang Feng, the Grand Governor of the South. These people were none other than Steve, the Governor of Portugal to Macau.
