Riding the Pheonix Chapter 88: Asking for a name

The case of Prince Qidong started with a bang, causing the people of Dongning to watch the excitement for many days, and finally ended with Prince Qidong pleading guilty.

This great drama made the people extremely satisfied.

There are great masters like Qingtian who are not afraid of power, ordinary people who risk their lives to sue, and noble people from Tianhuang who bow their heads and admit defeat.

At this point, Jiang Wenfeng inspected Dongning and had an explanation.

In the secret room of Linglong Pavilion, Magistrate Wu laughed loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for leaving the party like this, the steps have been set up for Jiang Wenfeng. If he is smart enough, he should take advantage of this opportunity to leave Dongning in glory. Mr. Qingtian’s reputation is not easy to come by, and if we continue to investigate, it will not be so good.”

Prince Qidong and Mr. Wu also laughed.

After laughing for a while, Prince Qidong remembered something: "The case of the Ming family is not settled yet, right?"

Mr. Wu understood and reported: "The Ming family came to report, and Jiang Wenfeng sent an auxiliary officer to investigate. The auxiliary officer was very critical of him, and asked the Ming family's servants for their confessions, and planned to just hand over the report."

Zhifu Wu said: "This Jiang Wenfeng wants a good reputation himself, and he doesn't want to think about what others will ask for after him! He has gained the reputation, and he is still detained and can't get any benefits. Isn't he losing both ways?"

"Being a servant next to an upright official is hard, that's how it's always been." Mr. Wu said with a smile.

Zhifu Wu must have experienced the hardships of such high-ranking officials, and complained loudly: "The prince's case can not only get a name but also be handed over, so he will try it by himself. The Ming family's case has been around for a long time and there are no clues. It is obvious that It was an unsolved case, so he passed it on to the auxiliary officer. In this way, the case would not be solved and his reputation would not be affected, but the auxiliary officer would have a thankless job."

When he said this, he sneered: "Haha, this Jiang Qingtian behaves like this, what a thief! It's a pity that the people are ignorant, they only know that he is not afraid of power and is selfless. Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Mr. Wu said: "Is there any truly extraordinary person in this world? Some people seek fame, some seek profit, some seek success, and some seek ambition. People only know that Jiang Wenfeng is a great master, but they don't know that he seeks in his heart What. It’s nothing more than leaving a name in history and being praised by future generations. But we know, so, Master Qingtian is just a shell!"

"Hahahaha!" Magistrate Wu said happily, "Mr. Wu is a talented man, that's exactly what it is!"

Mr. Wu added: "Jiang Wenfeng can't get anything done here, so Mr. Yang is nothing to worry about. I heard that he has been busy trying to please Miss Mingqi recently. Now that the prince has given up, he can ask the beauty again. Take the credit."

Wu Zhifu sighed: "He is a prince after all! Although he has some abilities, there are too many temptations in this world. He can get high-ranking officials, rich salaries, fine wines and beauties at his fingertips, and he doesn't have to be as timid as a prince. This job can be done. Success is just the icing on the cake. It won’t be finished and it won’t hinder anything, so why bother and exert effort?”

King Qidong nodded in agreement.

While the three of them were talking, the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion came to report: "The second master of the Ming family is here."

Mr. Wu was famous and frowned slightly.

Prince Qidong had a smile on his face and said, "Please come in."

"Yes."

Not long after, the second master entered the hut.

Just as he was about to pay homage, he was supported by Prince Qidong: "You are not an outsider, so don't be too polite."

The second master was flattered: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, he met with Magistrate Wu and Mr. Wu.

These two are also very polite and very considerate.

It’s just a smile on his face, no matter how polite he looks.

Mr. Wu smiled and asked: "Why is Mr. Ming'er free to come here today?"

There are only a few people who know about this Linglong Pavilion, but Ming Er is actually among them. Magistrate Wu has always been puzzled by its meaning. However, Mr. Wu knew that the person who was truly qualified to know was not Ming Er, but someone behind him.

A person who made him very afraid.

"I heard that the prince's case has been settled, so I came here to congratulate you."

Mr. Wu held the teacup and smiled profoundly: "I'm afraid it's more than that, right? None of us here are outsiders. Why don't Mr. Mingji speak frankly?"

The second master then went to see Prince Qidong. When he saw him nodding slightly, he hesitated and said, "There is something I need to tell the prince."

"Oh?"

"Looking at Jiang Wenfeng's actions, the case in his hands will definitely get to the bottom of it. The prince's case is closed, but the case of my family is not yet closed. I'm afraid he will not stop."

Zhifu Wu disagreed: "He only sent an auxiliary officer to investigate, and he has made his attitude clear. Now that the prince's case has been concluded, and his reputation is at its peak, how can he ask for trouble? Besides, he is already packing up his business. It seems It’s time to leave Dongning and go to the next place.”

"This is what we need to pay attention to." The second master said, "He may be acting like this intentionally to paralyze us."

Wu Zhifu waved his hand: "This is an unsolved case. He just wants to investigate it, but how can he investigate it? I don't know what the inside story is, but the bones are buried in your Ming family, so they can't be implicated in any way. Is it on the prince’s head? Even if there is something wrong, if you find someone to plead guilty and pay a fine, won’t that be the end of it?”

It means that even if there is something dirty in it, if your Ming family is willing to take the blame, you won’t be able to harm Prince Qidong. Could it be that you are unwilling to carry it?

In terms of status, the second master and Magistrate Wu were not on the same level. Seeing that Magistrate Wu easily rejected his words, the second master had no choice but to ask for help from Prince Qidong: "Your Majesty?"

Prince Qidong knew very well that the words of the second master were not said by him, but by another person. ~IndoMTL.com~ That person gave him direction when he was most confused. And the Ming family's case is indeed closely related to him. I couldn't help but think about what he said several times.

So Prince Qidong turned his attention to Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu understood and said warmly: "Mr. Ming'er's worries are not without reason. Doing more is better than doing less."

The second master showed a relieved smile: "I am just reminding you that it is up to the prince to decide what should be done."

The second master only stayed briefly and then left Linglong Pavilion.

Zhifu Wu stayed for a while and then slowly asked the shopkeeper to send him out.

With only two people left in the secret room, Prince Qidong asked: "Sir, what do you think about the Ming family's affairs?"

Mr. Wu said: "That person has always been far-sighted and far-sighted, and Xiao Ke is not as good as him. Since he said that, he must have his reason."

Prince Qidong smiled and said: "He has his good qualities, and I will bear in mind your husband's companionship for several years. I still need some advice from your husband on how to behave."

These words made Mr. Wu feel very comfortable, so he opened his mind and said, "Xiao Ke is also worried about what that person is worried about. However, when he was in the court, Jiang Wenfeng was just an editor, and they both There is no intersection. All the information I know comes from others. I am afraid that I have overestimated this Jiang Qingtian."

"Sir, what do you mean, don't worry about it?"

Mr. Wu smiled and said: "You still have to take care of it. It is safer to make more preparations. Xiao Ke just feels that there is no need to think about him so terribly. Mr. Qingtian is also a human being, and he has weaknesses. You can see the traces by watching his actions."

Prince Qidong nodded: "Sir, what you said makes sense."

Mr. Wu then laughed: "The prince said so, and Xiao Ke ordered him to go down. Continue to stare at him until he leaves Dongning."

"Thank you, Mr. Thank you."
