Chen Wenhui asked: "But the account books provided by Master Ma have made you find a clue?" ”

Although Zhao Chongyi's face was tired, his eyes were shining, and he said, "I brought the account book, you can see for yourself." It's really a lot of gains. Of course, these still need to be examined. ”

Chen Wenhui took the account book, slowly flipped through it, and at this time, Zhao Chongyi went to take a bath, and when Zhao Chongyi came out, Chen Wenhui had already seen almost it.

Unlike Zhao Chongyi, Chen Wenhui is quite familiar with the officialdom in Jiangnan, after all, he has lived in Jiangnan for so many years before, and basically his name can still be matched.

After Zhao Chongyi soaked in the medicinal bath, he was refreshed and said to Chen Wenhui: "Hui'er, how is it?" See what? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "Ma Mingsong is really an old fox." I'm afraid this account book has been prepared a long time ago. It's quite detailed, if you follow this and go down the vine to touch the melons, most of them will point to the Bai family in the end. ”

Zhao Chongyi paused for a moment, this was something he didn't expect.

Chen Wenhui opened the account book and said: "You probably see that the evidence of the people in question here is relatively conclusive, as long as you verify it according to this account book, you should be able to catch a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and return a clean slate in Jiangnan, which is a great thing for the people and the court." So happy, right? ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded.

Chen Wenhui said: "However, there are many things that are not said in this account book. For example, this Lord Hu, actually. He was single-handedly drawn by Bai Jiayuan of the Bai family. There is also this Lord Wei, his wife's surname is Qian. The old lady of the Qian family is the daughter of the Bai family. There is also this Lord Li, who once served in the Northwest. ”

How could Zhao Chongyi know about this? He asked puzzledly: "Who would have thought that these are so secret?" For example, that Lord Wei, his own surname is Wei, and his wife's surname is Qian, and he has nothing to do with the Bai family, who would have thought of the old lady of the Qian family? How do you know these things? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Because I have been in Jiangnan for so many years, most of these officials are quite familiar. Have you forgotten? When we were in Gangnam. My eldest brother got married. But there was a grand wedding. At that time, our family was already very head and face, my father was a thorn, and we also climbed to the current emperor. My eldest aunt in the palace at that time. Saints too. So. Many officials came up to us and visited us and congratulated us. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "But it's just understanding. How do you know so many things? ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled, "Have you forgotten what your mother-in-law's surname is?" ”

Zhao Chongyi suddenly realized, just thinking that he was the son-in-law of the Xiao Chen family, how could he forget that his mother-in-law was the daughter of the Bai family, or a concubine, although she was a concubine, but now that the tide is rising, who cares about her identity as a concubine, they are all in a hurry, and the Bai family also attaches great importance to this capable and powerful married girl. So, it's really not that hard to know that.

Chen Wenhui said: "At that time, my eldest brother got married, and many officials and relatives came to congratulate him. When they talked with my mother, they naturally had to talk about their relationship with each other. This Mrs. Wei, her grandmother is a girl from the Bai family, so she naturally wants to talk to my mother, so that my mother will treat her as her own family. I remember that Mrs. Qian told my mother the name of her grandmother, and my mother said that it was her aunt who had not yet made five clothes. In this way, that Mrs. Qian is a generation later than my mother. It's also a shame that she is shameless, and when she is old, she still rushes to call my mother and aunt, as if she is also a daughter of the Bai family. There is also this Lord Hu, because he was promoted by the Bai family, he naturally has special respect for my mother, and this Lord Li, when he chatted with my father, he once talked about some customs in the northwest, and also said that the relationship between him and the Bai family was established in the northwest. ”

"In addition to these three, I can tell you about the relationship between the other few others and the Bai family."

Zhao Chongyi's face pulled down and said, "I understand now." The emperor asked officials from all over Jiangnan and at all levels to cooperate with my actions. Especially these assassins, the feudal officials like the city lord. However, Ma Mingsong is still a relative of the emperor, and he doesn't think about state affairs, and the first thing he thinks about is how to compete for his daughter's favor. It can be seen that what he said on weekdays is that Concubine Ma Shu has no idea about the position of the prince, their Ma family has a low status, and they just want to be a peaceful prince and be a nobleman, which is used to coax people. ”

Chen Wenhui curled her lips slightly and said, "Chongyi, of course this is a lie. Think about it? Emperor, crown prince, must this be the bloodline of the four major families? ”

Chongyi was stunned.

Chen Wenhui said: "Which family is the bloodline of the emperor today? ”

Yes, Liu Yan is just the son-in-law of the Chen family.

Zhao Chongyi said up, sighed and said, "It's really possible to win the heir." The emperor is not from the four major families. His background is even more humble, and his mother's family is just a gardener in the capital. It's far worse than Ma's house, one in the sky and one underground. However, the emperor can defeat in the end, the abolished prince from the Wang family, the three princes favored by the holy family, and finally become the crown prince and the emperor, so why can't others? Now the status of the mother's family of several princes in the palace is different, but there is no lower status than the emperor's mother's family back then. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "When people go to high places, it is inevitable to take the heir. Who wouldn't want to fight? After all, every prince is only one step away from that position. ”

Zhao Chongyi sighed.

Chen Wenhui smiled coldly and said: "It can be seen that the funeral of the former emperor has not yet been completed, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and his position has not yet been stabilized, and the concubines in his harem have begun to fight. ”

Zhao Chongyi was speechless.

Half paid, Zhao Chongyi asked: "What about this account book?" ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said: "No matter what kind of background these people are, what kind of people they are, they have all made mistakes, and there should be nothing wrong." The Bai family is also intertwined in Jiangnan, it can't be just these few people, why are others okay? ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it and said: "If it is according to the emperor's intentions, as long as it is a corrupt official, it must be investigated, no matter what the background is." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "We are not afraid of any background. Not to mention the several peripheral forces of the Bai family, even the children of the Bai family, they also have to stammer with us. It's just that when I think about it, we investigated the case like this, and it was actually for the palace to fight for Concubine Ma Shu and Concubine Bai in the palace, so I felt boring and boring. ”

Zhao Chongyi also sighed and said, "You don't think it's interesting, don't I find it even more boring?" Do you think I want to be the knife of the woman's palace? You don't have to humiliate me. ”

Chen Wenhui saw Zhao Chongyi's appearance, smiled and said: "You won't be discouraged, in fact, you should be glad, fortunately, it is you who came to check, if someone else comes to check, Ma Mingsong will send another book." ”

Zhao Chongyi was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is it another book?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If my guess is correct, there should be many accounts like the Ma family. Among them, the bank of the Wang family, which should have been used, was overthrown, and the Ma family also played a role in it. There is another book, which should be written about our Chen family, the Jiangnan area, needless to say, it is my father's power. Isn't that bad? ”

Zhao Chongyi suddenly realized and said: "It's true, the Ma family regards the Bai family as a thorn in their side, isn't it hot for the queen who sits in the middle palace?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I have thought of a way. ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly asked: "What method?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, we may not have as much detail about the secrets of these officials as the Ma family, after all, their family has been operating in Jiangnan for decades, and they are intertwined, well-connected, familiar and experienced. However, doesn't our family also have Qinghe Building, Cuijin Building, and Baojingfang all over the south of the Yangtze River? If you want to get clues, it's easy. In addition, you can go to Huzhou and call Yan Shupeng to help you, first, to train him, and second, to have Huang Tingzhen to help, he is the patrol of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"In addition to these, you can also call my friend Wan Qiaozhen's sister-in-law's porcelain Cao family to help, their family business is so big, the number of heads, the family population is large, and there are also clues. There is also the Lan family, the Lan family is a big family, with a large population and many talents, and they are authentic Jiangnan people. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "This method is good. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "We need to be targeted. This is also learned from Ma Mingsong. When we investigated, we should investigate the most heinous crimes, no matter whose power it is, even if it is my father's people. For ordinary people, let go of those who can let go, and those who can't let go choose the forces of the Bai family and the Ma family to attack. ”

Zhao Chongyi was taken aback: "The power of the Ma family? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, the Ma family has been in Jiangnan for so many years, and they have been younger than our Chen family and the Bai family for a longer time, they are still rich salt merchants, can they have no connections?" No power? I'm afraid there are more than all of us. Moreover, most of their forces are for the Ma family's money, and if they can't keep it, they will be the black sheep. We started on both sides, so that Bai Guifei and Ma Shufei in the palace would suffer a loss. Let them also know that they are not worthy of using our husband and wife as knives. ”

When Zhao Chongyi heard this, he was happy and said, "Okay, just do as you say." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled. Zhao Chongyi looked at it, understood it and said: "Oh, I remember, this Concubine Ma Shu and Concubine Bai have both suffered, so the proud one is Queen Chen?" Haven't we become Empress Chen's knives? ”

Chen Wenhui Gege laughed and said, "What? Don't you want to be a knife for our sisters? ”

Looking at Chen Wenhui's delicate appearance, after bathing, with an apple-like face, Zhao Chongyi only felt intoxicated, where could he care about the question of who to use as a knife, and couldn't help but hug Chen Wenhui and walk to the tent. (To be continued......)
