Riding the Pheonix Chapter 126: Private reasons

Because of Lei Hong's restraint and the cooperation of the second wife, the inspection of the Ming family was quickly concluded.

The officials left the Ming family with boxes of evidence and account books.

The second lady dragged her tired body back to her residence and found the sixth young master Minghao waiting for her.

Thirteen-year-old Ming Hao is almost as tall as her, but he looks confused and at a loss as to what to do.

The second lady felt sad: "Liu'er."

"Mom!" Minghao walked over quickly.

"Have you had dinner? Why do you look so ugly? Did you not sleep well last night..."

"Mom!" Minghao interrupted her, "How can I sleep at this time? Tell me, will dad never come back?"

The second lady forced a smile and said: "What did you say? How could your father..."

"I heard it all!" Minghao shouted, "Those officials came here to check on my father. Mom, please stop hiding it from me. I am not young anymore and I am qualified to know the truth!"

"Liu'er!"

Minghao realized that he was too excited, so he calmed down a little and lowered his tone: "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm just too anxious. Such a big thing happened. My father and fourth uncle and fourth brother are not here. I am the biggest man in the family. .Mom, I’m not a child anymore, can you let me share some of the burden?”

Listening to these words, the Second Madam suddenly realized that the child in her heart could no longer be treated as a child.

He is right. Children of this age from poor families have already started working to earn money.

Besides, if he loses his father, how can he become sensible?

The second wife looked at her son and said, "Liu'er, if you really want to know, mother will tell you."

……

Jiang Wenfeng is well versed in practical matters. In just three days, Dongning calmed down again.

Kuai Ma has already gone to the capital. Just waiting for the order from above, they can bring the evidence and **** the relevant people to the capital.

Yang Shu came back from outside and saw Jiang Wenfeng with a tired look on his face, and said, "You haven't slept for another night? Look at you like this. Don't stay up late!"

Jiang Wenfeng rubbed his face: "I advise you to stay up less late, but you should do more! If you don't do it yourself, I won't be able to do it."

Yang Shu was unconvinced: "Where have I done less? Who is investigating Wu Kuan's death?"

"Then have you found out?"

Yang Shu nodded: "Now I can be sure that Wu Kuan's death did have human factors. The reason why he helped King Qidong was probably driven by others. That person was very clever and couldn't find out much. Traces."

Jiang Wenfeng pondered for a moment and said: "This matter should not be taken lightly. There are people behind Ming San, and Wu Kuan too. If they are the same force, it would be quite scary."

How could it not be scary? If Gengsan's death hadn't been discovered this time, and if it had been delayed for a few more years, Prince Qidong might actually have been encouraged to rebel.

Whether it will succeed or not is another matter. Once the rebellion comes out, the political situation will inevitably be turbulent. Once the political situation becomes turbulent, there will be no peace in Northern Qi.

You must know that since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it has not yet been completely unified. There are Southern Chu in the south and barbarians in the north. Once they get into chaos, they will be easily swallowed up.

"I was wondering if they were sent from the south." Yang Shu lowered his voice.

Who would benefit most from the chaos in the Northern Qi Dynasty? Of course they are the two nearby forces. Beihu are herdsmen and cannot do these things, and only Nanchu has such talents.

The previous dynasty was destroyed and replaced by Qi Chu. The Taizu of the Northern Qi Dynasty was a low-ranking military officer who rose to prominence, while the Southern Chu emperor was an old minister of the previous dynasty and conspired to seize the throne.

Therefore, the reputation of the Nanchu royal family is not very good, but their background is much deeper. Most of the things left behind by the previous dynasty were accepted by them.

"It is possible." Jiang Wenfeng said, "This line will definitely be traced in the future. At present, we will report the truth to the Lord."

Yang Shu nodded and asked him again: "Have you tried Ming San?"

Jiang Wenfeng shook his head.

"You can actually bear it?"

Ming San came back from the dead, but Jiang Wenfeng didn't know it at first. It wasn't until Yang Shu rushed back to resolve the crisis around the Yamen that he saw Ming San captured.

Jiang Wenfeng's temperament loves to get to the bottom of things. It was beyond Yang Shu's expectation that he could endure such mysterious things.

"There are too many things. Besides, I don't think interrogating Mingzo is useful."

"How to say it?"

Jiang Wenfeng said: "In this world, those with the softest bones are scholars, and those with the hardest bones are scholars. What is the difference between the two? It lies in whether they have faith in their hearts. Naturally, there are no people like Wu Yi, so If you are scared, you will say anything. People like Ming San..."

He shook his head: "Although he is different from ordinary scholars and has no thoughts of benevolence and righteousness, he is more determined than ordinary people. Look at what he did. He took refuge in Liuyang County Prince, faked his death and escaped, and sneaked back Dongning, encourage Prince Qidong... In the past ten years, he has been like a mouse, living cautiously and cautiously. Without a firm will, it is impossible to endure such a life."

"After much thought, those interrogation methods are of no use to Ming San. I can't think of a better way at the moment, so I'll just give him a cold first."

As he spoke, Yang Shu nodded. After he finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Just right, I have an idea, do you want to use it?"

Jiang Wenfeng looked at him doubtfully. ~IndoMTL.com~ Yang Shu said without changing his expression: "This method requires borrowing a few more people."

"Who?"

"The Ming family." He thought for a moment, "It's best to bring Prince Qidong with us."

Jiang Wenfeng shook his head: "You can deal with the rest of the Ming family as you wish, but you can't touch Prince Qidong."

"I don't move, I just borrow it for use."

"No." Jiang Wenfeng was unmoved, "Wu Kuan died inexplicably. I pray that the king of Dongjun will never make any mistakes."

Yang Shu knew what kind of temper he had, and when he saw him acting like this, he couldn't argue anymore. He sighed and gave in: "Okay, okay, okay, you are the chief officer, you have the final say."

Jiang Wenfeng thought for a moment and then said: "Is this the seventh lady's idea?"

Yang Shu raised his eyebrows: "Is it so easy to guess?"

Jiang Wenfeng smiled: "Who else can instigate you but her?"

After a pause, he added: "I shouldn't be meddling in your business, but we have been together all the way, and we have a slight friendship..."

"If you want to ask, just ask," Yang Shu said indifferently, "When did you, Mr. Jiang, become such a mother-in-law?"

"Okay." Jiang Wenfeng said, "These days, the seventh lady's reputation has been ruined because of you. Although it is to investigate the case, she is a girl and cannot be ignored. What are you going to do? ”

Yang Shuqi said: "What should I do? Can't you ask me to marry her? She is not an ordinary woman, so why would she care about this."

"She doesn't care, and neither do others?" Jiang Wenfeng asked, "Although this matter is hidden, the atmosphere will still leak out to some extent. In addition to being unclear with you, there is also collusion with outsiders to harm others. You know that the world is harsher on women. How terrible is the reputation of harming your family because of an affair?"
