554 Undercurrent
He originally wanted to play neglect the emperor, and pointed to Shen.
But half of the book was written, but the pen slowly stagnated.
He understands very well that there is no need for He Shen to torture Qi Xian to extract a confession-
Although the body was temporarily detained by the Ministry of Punishment, and when he went, he only saw a vague body covered with a white cloth, which could not be carefully examined, but the fact may not be as Jin Jian said: he died under a heavy sentence.
It is a fact that He Shen has been using Yu Qixian as a bargaining chip to blackmail him, so before he defects, He Shen will never take Yu Qixian's life - at least, not for the time being.
Jin Jian must have guessed that he would not believe such a statement.
Therefore, he was reminded again and again that he could take revenge on the old ones.
Of course, the old revenge can be avenged, but this 'new revenge' is only afraid that there are still doubts.
He couldn't help but think that night after he learned of Yu Qixian's death, he went to Jiyue Garden and questioned He Shen.
He Shen's attitude is also very subtle.
He still looks elegant and polite no matter who he faces, and he apologizes to him, saying that it is his fault for 'carelessness', and comforting him for his mourning and change.
At the end, he said, "In any case, this matter must be thoroughly investigated."
There is clearly something in this.
But no matter how angry he was, He Shen didn't say anything else.
This made him have to think about it more.
Especially when Jin Jian came to him with such a clear intention today......
He knew that Jin Jian didn't care if he could take revenge on him, but just used him as a gunman -
And He Shen's attitude that night, the reminder that there was nothing, seemed to be alluding to something......
All in all, everyone was telling him, either explicitly or implicitly: there must be something strange behind his son's death!
He was now on the edge of a cliff, and if he took one wrong step, he would fall into this trap.
He took a deep breath of cold air and let himself sit down to think about the trade-offs.
Obviously, no matter what the truth is, Jin Jian and He Shen are both using him to balance each other.
The revenge of killing his son is not shared, but the most important thing for him at the moment is not revenge.
It's about how to survive this chaos.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Heshen is at a disadvantage. Even if he hadn't been impeached by the Imperial Observatory, he had never seen an example of survival once he was a person who was determined to be eliminated by Jingren Palace and Jin Jian.
In addition to the high power, their methods are even more outrageous.
These are all things he has seen with his own eyes after working with Jin Jian over the years.
But as far as he knows, the current Jingren Palace and the Eleventh Elder Brother are not pleasing in front of the emperor, especially after Fu Heng's death, the public opinion is even more overwhelming......
If the emperor is really determined to investigate him, it will be difficult to find out if he wants to be airtight.
From this point of view, both roads are dangerous roads.
But he has long been caught between this whirlpool, especially the shady things he has done over the years, which determines that he has no ability to be alone in the outside.
Elect Heshen and expose Jingren Palace, if it succeeds, he may be able to exchange his merits for a slim way of life, but his official position will inevitably be lost, and he will be exiled at least.
The choice of Jingren Palace is naturally a loss of both, and the nine clans are connected...... But what if you win?
He can still sit firmly in the high position!
And after all, Jingren Palace's chances of victory are much greater than Heshen's......
Yu Minzhong looked at the half-written fold in front of him, and after a while, he wanted to pick up the pen and dip it in ink.
But halfway through the action, he stopped again.
No......
Don't be in a hurry.
……
All the subordinates in Jiyue Garden have more or less heard the rumor that their grandfather and wife quarreled.
It is not unusual for husband and wife to quarrel and quarrel, but for He Shen and Feng Jiwen, who never quarrel, it is very rare.
Besides, the noise doesn't seem to be light, and the wife smashes a room full of things.
Everyone outside said that it was because his wife rashly went to Qian Yushi to 'comment', which made the master unhappy.
Xiaoxian didn't quite understand what was going on.
Today, Mrs. is looking for money and making trouble, and she and Xiaocha are accompanied by her.
Qian Yushi said that he couldn't say that his wife, and after he was angry and ordered someone to close the door, they went home with his wife.
When I returned home, my wife poured two cups of tea in a row, and in the end, this quarrel from the north of the city to the south of the city was very exhausting.
But before the wife had rested for a while, they heard a sound in the back room.
The uncle was suspended, everyone was nervous, and the wife suddenly had such a seizure, and none of them dared to ask more.
I had to silently clean up the mess, put on a new tea bowl, re-boil a pot of hot tea, and pretend that I didn't know anything.
But what is really puzzling is that this Mrs. Zi is reading and writing with her uncle in the study, and she secretly glanced at it uneasily, but that picture, not to mention how quiet the years are.
This state change is really fast.
The golden crow sank into the western mountain, and the tired bird returned to its nest, and the whole day passed so noisy and peaceful.
But Qian Yingming has not been able to calm down so far.
When Ding Ziyu left the book and ran away, he was shocked.
But at that time, the adults and their wives seemed to be very calm.
But this should be explained by the fact that they had already noticed Ding Ziyu's abnormality, so they were not surprised.
Ding Ziyu suddenly came back today, and he was also shocked.
But the adults and the wife were still surprisingly calm.
He can't figure this out, huh?
You must know that they have been so calm that they have never let people come to visit, or let Ding Ziyu go over, and they don't know when he left or when he will come back.
At first, he thought that the adults didn't know yet, so he made a special trip to the Liuli Pavilion to report the news, but the adults just gave him three words lightly - I know.
Got it??
What made him even more unbearable was that even Ding Ziyu looked very calm and normal, as if he really just went out to visit his relatives.
But he had already read the letter that Ding Ziyu left when he left, and he was convinced of his act of secretly putting the 'criminal evidence' that framed Lord Yinglian into the study of Yinglian's mansion, and secretly scolded him for being ungrateful at least ten times every day.
But this man came back suddenly, and his face was so colorless, that when he spoke, he couldn't even scold half of his face.
"You still have the face to come back. Since everyone was very calm, he also said hello calmly.
He finally saw a fleeting look of shame on Ding Ziyu's face.
"It turns out that you still have the slightest sense of shame. Qian Yingming still couldn't imitate everyone's Buddhist mentality, so he asked with a cold face: "Do you know ...... harm you?"
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ding Ziyu's movements.
Ding Ziyu held his forearm with one hand, and put the other hand to his mouth to make a silent gesture.
"Brother Qian. His words were vague, but his eyes were particularly profound: "Adults and wives must have their reasons for doing things." ”
This is a reminder to Qian Yingming.
Qian Yingming frowned, not knowing what he meant for a while.
And it took a long time for him to understand.
