Chapter 138: Still Not Giving Up?
"Miss, you're back, the third lady went to the bookstore and found it, it's a small bookstore called Baiwenzhai on East Street."
Baiwenzhai is the stronghold where Shu Xin incarnated as Shu Xiaosheng last time and secretly sold official positions in the name of a bookstore.
This result was expected comfortably, but it was the last thing she wanted to hear, why did Li go to Baiwenzhai? Could it be that Shu Qixiang is still not giving up?
Yun Mu came to investigate the sale of official positions, and the other party noticed that Yun Mu was a killer, and he knew that this case not only led to the tragedy of Feng County, but also led to many major cases of corruption and fraud with the deepening of the investigation, and the person behind the scenes was a person with a very high status.
The people behind the scenes are very favored by the emperor, and have repeatedly made great contributions, and have considerable power in the Shuiyao country, and the biggest enemy in the heart of the little emperor Mo Yixin is Mo Qianbai, so the second strong enemy is the person behind the scenes.
Mo Yixin later sent Mo Qianbai to Fengxian County to investigate the tragedy, and secretly sent someone to assassinate Mo Qianbai to blame the person behind the scenes, and later there were clues pointing out the identity of the people behind those cases, Mo Yixin let them fight, and he was ready to reap the benefits, but the plan fell through.
These are all follow-up matters, and then go back to the Fengxian Massacre, Yun Mu is now a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion, scheduling and other matters of officials, and it is the duty to investigate the purchase and sale of official positions.
The reason why the tragedy occurred in Fengxian County was, firstly, that the other party set up a situation for the officials investigating the case, and secondly, it was an example to those who bought officials, so that those people did not dare to give evidence and testify to the investigating officials.
Now that the relationship between the selling officials and the investigating officials is the most tense moment, but the Li family went to Baiwenzhai at this time?
This made Shu Xin have a very bad premonition. asked Qiu'er: "Do you know what she is doing in the study?" ”
Qiu'er was stunned and said, "I said that I went to buy books for Miss Ten and Miss Eleven." ”
Buying a book? Is it really that simple? Shu Xin twisted his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "Come on, go and invite the third master to the study." ”
The attendant took the order to leave, and walked quickly to the study with comfort, Qiu'er saw that Shu Xin's face jumped slightly with concentration, could it be that the third lady went to the study not simply to buy books?
Qiu'er followed behind Shu Xin and hesitated for a while and asked, "Miss, isn't it as simple as the third lady going to the study just to buy books?" ”
"I don't know yet!" Shu Xin sighed leisurely: "I hope it's just that I'm thinking too much." ”
But Shu Xin knew that this must not be that she wanted to think too much, but there were some things that were inconvenient to tell Qiu'er, not that she didn't trust Qiu'er, but that she felt that there were some things that Qiu'er didn't know was good for her.
I didn't wait long in the study. Shu Qixiang arrived. The attendant closed the door, and Shu Xin asked Shu Qixiang to sit down without beating around the bush with him and asked directly: "Third uncle, can you tell my third aunt why she went to Baiwenzhai?" ”
Shu Qixiang was stunned, the Li family went to Baiwenzhai secretly. He didn't expect Shu Xin to know. I didn't expect her to ask herself so directly. Is this not reassuring yourself? The intensity of surveillance is really extraordinary, Shu Qixiang smiled coldly in his heart, and looked straight at Shu Xin. Said: "What else can I do when I go to the study?" Why don't you just go buy books? ”
"Third uncle, there are some things I reminded you." Shu Xin's originally gentle voice was cold, and he looked at Shu Qixiang tightly, "It's not alarmist for me to tell you these words, the servant of the Ministry personally came to Fengxian County to investigate the sale of official positions, and it's not fun to be involved." ”
In fact, what Shu Xin is most worried about is not the investigation of the officials, but the party that sells officials, they dare to assassinate Yun Mu brutally, and dare to create a tragedy.
Shu Xin remembered that when reading the article, Yun Mu's investigation of buying and selling official positions was separate from Mo Qianbai, Mo Qianbai was sent to Fengxian County to investigate the Fengxian extermination case, and the three families who were destroyed were small families with no backers and backgrounds, on the surface, the three families did not have any powerful relationship, they did not have such a deep enmity with anyone, and they could not find the reason for the extermination, which made Mo Qianbai's investigation difficult.
Later, Mo Qianbai's investigation intersected with Yun Mu's investigation, and only then did he know the reason why the three families were destroyed.
Because there is no background, so the chicken was killed as an example, Shu Xin remembered that the family that was destroyed in the article did not have the surname Shu, but because of the urine of the butterfly effect, Shu Xin always had a very ominous premonition.
Shu Qixiang, who was forced to look at Shu Xin, felt that he was a little breathless, he was shocked by Shu Xin's coercion and ashamed of his weakness, and even more shocked by what Shu Xin said, he struggled in his heart for a long time, looked at Shu Xin's gaze and tried to calm down: "Third Miss misunderstood, I remember your reminder, your third aunt went to Bai Wenzhai ......."
Shu Qixiang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to return the money." ”
"Refund the money?" Frowning comfortably.
"Yes." Shu Qixiang sighed a little dejectedly, feeling that it was particularly embarrassing to say this, but he was afraid of the trouble of being misunderstood by Shu Xin, "I listened to what you said, and I didn't have that idea again, but the money we paid before was not a small amount, so we thought about returning the money." ”
"Refund the money?" Shu Xin was not relieved by such a truth, frowned and asked, "Have you retreated?" ”
Shu Qixiang glanced at Shu Xin with some embarrassment and shook his head: "No." ”
Shu Xin thought for a moment: "If the money is gone, it's gone, don't look for it again, don't have anything to do with those people anymore." ”
Shu Qixiang looked at Shu Xin in surprise, he didn't expect Shu Xin to believe what he said like this, he wanted to ask, "You just believed what I said?" But there was no doubt in Shu Xin's clear eyes, and he knew that Shu Xin believed it.
It's just that the thick worry in Shu Xin's eyes made him a little frightened, and he hesitated and nodded and asked, "Did the servant of the ministry really come to investigate in person?" ”
In fact, the sale of official positions in Shui Yao Kingdom has been going on for a long time, and Jingzhong has also sent people to investigate many times before, but each time it is gone, and it will soon resurge, which makes the sale of official positions more and more rampant and unscrupulous.
"Hmm." Shu Xin nodded affirmatively: "You should know the identity of the servant of the Ministry now, and this time it will be thoroughly investigated." ”
Shu Qixiang pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and nodded slowly, with a gray despair that was deeply hit. Shu Xin suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him. This man has endured humiliation and heavy burdens since he was a child, looking forward to one day turning over completely, and his ability to enter the career is limited.
Finally one day he came to a shortcut full of dangers, and saw the light ahead of him, illuminating his gloomy life, and when he mustered up the courage to step on that road, and saw that he was about to succeed, the exit collapsed before his eyes, and the light was extinguished before his eyes, and he could only watch that there was nothing else he could do.
What kind of powerlessness and despair was that?
Shu Xin doesn't know, only those who have experienced it know.
But, that's a crooked path that shouldn't be taken! Even if he was forced, it was fortunate that he didn't get out in time and not be eaten by the danger, and Shu Xin hoped that Shu Qixiang could figure this out.
However, what Shu Xin didn't expect was that although Shu Qixiang withdrew in time, the danger still came to him. (To be continued......) R1292
