"I heard before I came to Beijing that you and the prince were childhood sweethearts, and your family helped cure the prince's old illness, if it weren't for Miss Wednesday's natural phoenix fate, you would probably become the crown princess. Wei Miaozhen explained.

"You mean a lot of people think so?" Cui Zhiwei faced her and Jiang Xuanjun's problem for the first time.

"yes! A lot of people out there think so. ”

"It's just nonsense!" Cui Zhiwei felt a little speechless, even if she and Jiang Xuanjun had a small relationship, it would not be enough to chase the wind and say that she could be the crown princess. But speaking of the crown prince, Cui Zhiwei raised his hand to Wei Miaozhen to measure the action of stopping, closed his eyes and began to deduce.

In addition to him, Cui Zhiwei also saw that many people were buried under the hall in Yanjingnian, and their lives were uncertain.

Cui Zhiwei frowned, right now Jiang Xuanjun and Yan Jingnian are in Yuhe to accept the Summer Sacred Palace, if this deduction is not wrong, the collapsed beam should come from there, which means that this kind of thing will happen soon.

If something happens to Jiang Xuanjun, there will definitely be a lot of people affected, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the Ministry of Industry. If Jiang Xuanjun's life is not guaranteed, then these people have really committed the big crime of raiding their families and exterminating their clans.

But how did the people of my grandfather's family get involved? Besides, you can't watch Jiang Xuanjun and Yan Jingnian lose their lives, right?

"Cousin, what's wrong?" was suddenly stopped from speaking, and Wei Miaozhen was a little confused.

"Nothing, just something suddenly came to mind. After Cui Zhiwei explained palely, Chaowei Miaozhen asked, "Cousin, has anyone in the family been on an errand in the Ministry of Industry recently?"

"No, what's wrong? You should know very well about our family's situation!"

"It's nothing, I have some urgent matters to deal with, I'll see you another day. Cui Zhiwei walked out after speaking.

"Hey," Wei Miaozhen stopped her, "You're here just now, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

"I'm in a hurry, and I can't delay. ”

Seeing that Cui Zhiwei's face was full of anxiety, Wei Miaozhen let go of Cui Zhiwei's hand and nodded, "Okay then, let's get together another day." ”

Cui Zhiwei nodded his head and hurriedly went out to find Cui Zhiyi. Cui Zhiyi and Cui Zhili were chatting with him in Wei Xiu's courtyard at this time, and they were a little curious when they heard that Cui Zhiwei came over. Wei Xiu was the first to go out to greet him.

Seeing him, Cui Zhiwei gave him a blessing, "Second cousin." ”

Wei Xiu returned the salute, "Cousin." Then he asked curiously, "Didn't my cousin go to find Miaozhen, why did she come to me?"

"I came to my second brother in a hurry. ”

"It turns out that my cousin came to find Zhiyi, and blamed me for being amorous. Wei Xiu also quipped.

"Look at what the second cousin said, isn't the little sister also here to see the second cousin? ”

"Haha, why don't you brothers and sisters talk first. I'll see if there's anything good to eat. "Wei Xiu is quite interesting.

"Then thank the second cousin first. Although I don't want to eat, Cui Zhiwei is still very grateful for Wei Xiu's deliberate hiding.

"You guys come into the house and talk, don't stand outside. Wei Xiu arranged a few people and left.

After he left, Cui Zhiyi asked, "Why are you in a hurry not to stay in the backyard and come here to look for me?"

"Second brother, what is the matter with the second cousin looking for you?" Cui Zhiwei asked without answering.

"It's nothing special, it's just a business thing. ”

"Business?" Cui Zhiwei was a little surprised, "Second cousin is also going to do business?"

"No, I didn't want to, but I did it in partnership with someone else a long time ago. ”

"Didn't you do it before the Wei family returned to Beijing?"

"That's right! I was doing business with other people when I was in northern Xinjiang. ”

"Then what kind of business is he doing?" Cui Zhiwei asked curiously.

"Wood. ”

Cui Zhiwei raised his eyebrows, "Timber business?"

Cui Zhiyi smiled, "You still don't know that the northern Xinjiang is rich in wood, right?"

"I hadn't really paid attention to it before. She asked, "Is his business big?"

"It should be pretty big. By the way, it is said that part of the wood of the Yuhe Summer Palace comes from their forest farm. ”

"Wait, you're saying that part of the wood of the Jade River Summer Palace comes from the second cousin's forest farm. ”

"Yes!" Cui Zhiyi nodded, "That's what the second cousin said, but he only invested some silver in the forest farm, and it can't be regarded as his." ”

"What else did he say?"

He also said that the friend who cooperated with him in opening the forest farm wanted to give him the forest farm, but first, he did not have so much money; second, the family had returned to the capital and was too far away from northern Xinjiang, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of the affairs on the forest farm; third, he had no business experience and did not know the doorway; and besides, he did not have any connections, for example, this time the timber from their forest farm could be sold to the Ministry of Industry because his friend knew someone from the Ministry of Industry. He felt that instead of taking down the forest farm, it was better to continue to invest some silver as a shopkeeper and pay dividends every year. ”

"Did the second cousin say who was the person who partnered with him to do business, and why did that person give him the forest farm?"

"I haven't even asked about this, but you've come to find it. ”

"Third brother," Cui Zhiwei looked at Cui Zhili, "You go and call the second cousin over, I have something to ask him." ”

"Is it important?" Cui Zhili felt that it was a bit rude to call people back just after they were driven away, so he asked.

"Important, very important. It is very likely that the disaster of my grandfather's family lies in the timber that they sold to the Yuhe Summer Palace from their forest farm. This is Cui Zhiwei's conclusion based on deduction, so he has been asking Cui Zhiyi about it.

Thinking that she said in the morning that the Wei family would commit the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, Cui Zhili hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'm going to find my second cousin." ”

When Cui Zhili went to find Wei Xiu, Cui Zhiwei was not idle. She said to Cui Zhiyi: "Second brother, you will ask your little servant Jin Yuan to go to the Yuhe Summer Palace to find a banquet in the New Year." "The reason why Jin Yuan is called to go is because not only Yan Jing Nian knows, but Yan Jing Nian also knows Yan Xi Xiao, which is more convenient to find people.

"What is Jin Yuan going to do?" asked Cui Zhiyi.

"Well, I'll write him a letter and ask him to bring it over. ”

Although Wei Xiu was not there, there were people left outside the door to listen to the orders of a few people at any time. Cui Zhiyi went out and called someone to find pen, ink, paper, inkstone and envelope for Cui Zhiwei, Cui Zhiwei wrote down the deduced performance, and the letter specially warned Yan Jingnian and Jiang Xuanjun not to enter any hall. After the ink on the paper dried, it was put into an envelope, and then sealed with wax oil before it was handed over to Cui Zhiyi.

Cui Zhiyi didn't dare to delay, and immediately asked Jin Yuan to ride his horse to deliver the letter.

Wei Xiu and Cui Zhili had already returned during Cui Zhiwei's letter, and they waited for Cui Zhiwei to send the letter out before opening the Tianyan to check Wei Xiu for the third time today.
