When Jiang Wenbin came in, Mr. Chen was also there, and he seemed to be discussing something with Mrs. Mu.

As soon as Jiang Wenbin entered the door, Mrs. Mu San and Mrs. Mu Si, who were sitting together, both turned their heads to look at him, their eyes revealing strange eagerness and longing. Such a light in his eyes was so strange that Jiang Wenbin already felt a little uncomfortable, he tried his best to ignore the gaze of Third Lady Mu and Fourth Lady Mu, and stepped forward to salute Old Lady Mu.

With a simple bow, without any superfluous polite words or empty comfort, Jiang Wenbin directly took out the envelope in his arms and handed it to Mrs. Mu.

"This is the evidence of Zhao Zhiliang before." He said straight to the point: "There are only two confessions and one treasury bill, which is not substantiated. What should be said after the evidence is handed over to the emperor, I'm afraid I have to think about it carefully. In addition......"

Jiang Wenbin turned to Mr. Sun and said, "I went back to the military headquarters in the morning and saw Zhao Zhiliang, and I think he has something to do with today's events. ”

Jiang Wenbin told what he had seen and heard in the military department today in front of the Mu family's wives, Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen, as well as Mu Hongshang and Gu Yilan, and then said: "Zhao Zhiliang seems to be very good at incitement, I am afraid that he has already said that many officials of the military department believe his statement. ”

"Facts are facts," Mrs. Mu replied with a strong expression, "It is useless for him to say anything. I believe in my grandson. ”

"The important thing is not what he says, but what the emperor believes." Mr. Sun also replied, "But we should really speed up on our side." Those who do these things must be in a hurry to annihilate the evidence right now. ”

"Master Jiang," Mu Hongsheng, who was quietly listening on the side, suddenly asked: "In this way, you are eight points sure, the problem is in the household department?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Wenbin nodded: "It's just that it can't be proved at the moment." Speaking of which, I have one more thing I want to say. Old lady, this evidence has been kept in Chang Jing's hands before, and I got it back from Chang Jing today. Old lady, you know, Chang Jing is the head of the household department, if the source of this matter is in the head of the household department, he will not be able to get rid of it. ”

"I understand." Old Madam Mu nodded calmly: "If he wants to cover it up, he can directly destroy the evidence behind his back, and he doesn't have to hand it over to you so quickly." This favor is recognized by our Mu family. Please help me tell Lord Xiao Xie, please rest assured that there is a wrong, a debtor, and our Mu family will not bite others at will. This time, he was willing to come up with evidence and take the initiative to help us, and we are very grateful. ”

"At the moment, it's not certain how many people in the household department know." As Mu Hongsheng spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yilan on the side. She didn't suspect Gu Yilan of anything, she was worried. Gu Yilan's father, Gu Sanye, is currently the head of the household department, if there is really a problem with the household department, it is a little troublesome for Gu Sanye to pick it up.

Mu Hongsheng's eyes, of course Gu Yilan noticed it. She stretched out her hand and patted Mu Hongsheng's arm as if comforting, her expression unchanged.

However, Mrs. Mu also thought of the same thing as Mu Hongsheng. She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Yilan, her eyes were also a little worried, but she didn't speak.

"Grandmother doesn't have to worry about me." After Gu Yilan saw Old Madam Mu's expression, she immediately spoke: "I am the daughter-in-law of the Mu family. ”

"Grandma," Mr. Chen suddenly asked, "In your opinion, what is the relationship between Ling Zun and He Wenmao?" ”

"In my opinion, there shouldn't be too much of a relationship." Gu Yilan replied, she looked around with a frank face, and then said, "Since everyone present is her own family, there is no need to hide it. Lord Jiang, as well as gentlemen, why my father was able to successfully return to Beijing and enter the household department and take up important positions, I think several people must know in their hearts. Lin Xiang told him that he had to pave the way for his children and nephews, so he had such a deal with my grandfather. But when it comes to the roots, the cooperation between my grandfather and Lin Xiang is just for profit, and my grandfather actually doesn't trust Lin Xiang as a person. ”

"As for my father...... Gu Yilan pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "More radical than my grandfather." ”

Gu Yilan's comment on Gu Sanye was gentle and vague, but all the people present were human spirits, and of course they all understood. The so-called radical personality means that he is bold and ambitious, not as cautious as a scholar Gu.

Jiang Wenbin frowned slightly because of this, and he was quite suspicious in his heart, isn't it more likely that a person like Gu Sanye is more likely to actively work hard to tie up with his boss? He Wenmao is Gu San's top boss!

Now is not the time to be polite, Jiang Wenbin simply said bluntly: "Since Ling Zun has a radical personality, how can the young grandmother be sure that Ling Zun and He Wenmao do not have too deep a relationship?" ”

"First, my grandfather was quite wary of Lin Xiang, Master He used to be a Lin party, and my grandfather would not be happy to see my father get too close to him. If his father had a close relationship with He Wenmao, wouldn't it be true that his grandfather and Lin Xiang were fighting for profit? Gu Yilan replied: "Second, Lord He is not only the Lin Party, but also the person of King Yi. When it comes to the battle for the storage position, his grandfather doesn't want to make his position clear at the moment, so he doesn't want to see his father have too deep a relationship with He Wenmao. ”

"He Wenmao is the person of King Yi?" Jiang Wenbin was very surprised: "How did the young grandmother know about this?" Can you be sure? ”

"Sure." Gu Yilan nodded with great certainty: "Lord Jiang should remember that He Wenmao was transferred from Chunzhou to the capital. When I encountered mountain bandits in Chunzhou, adults should have heard about it. King Yi is sitting in Tong County, and my minister leads troops to suppress bandits. It was at that time that Yin He Wenmao, the Chunzhou Mansion, took the path of King Yi, otherwise the adults thought that there were successive major cases of bandits and ordnance, how did He Wenmao rise instead of falling? Relying only on Lin Xiang's guarantee, I'm afraid it can't be done, right? ”

Jiang Wenbin thought about Gu Yilan's words carefully, and asked again: "He Wenmao has been very close to Zhao Zhiliang recently, and he faintly fell to Li Xiang. What does Scholar Gu think of Li Xiang? ”

"My grandfather never told me what he thought of Lee Sang." Gu Yilan shook her head: "Therefore, I don't dare to answer my adult's question casually." However, adults should still remember the dispute between Xie Xiang and Li Xiang a few years ago, when my grandfather supported Xie Xiang, but I can't say it well, whether his relationship with Xie Xiang is the same as Lin Xiang, it is just a temporary cooperation. ”

"Thank you for your outspokenness." Jiang Wenbin nodded. He pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I think maybe Senior Gu can help us." If Gu Sanye has no friendship with He Wenmao, then Scholar Gu will fully support us in investigating this matter thoroughly in order to clear out his son. ”
