Chapter Eighty-Three: Change

Xie Yingrong's anxiety, Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi are not too concerned. Xie Huizhi didn't know about Xie Yingrong's rebirth, and although Xie Mulin knew, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Because she found that this girl was a bit stupid, even if she knew what happened in her previous life, she might not be able to know much reliable information, and she might even misinterpret some hearsay information, but misled herself. Anyway, when she needs it in the future, she only needs to observe Xie Yingrong's reaction to guess some clues, and she doesn't have to spend too much effort on the other party.

Xie Mulin is now more concerned about the movements on the Cao family's side. Wang Angui's death is widely implicated, and even Xie Zhengzhi can hear the rumor from Cao Rong that "Wang Angui did not commit suicide but was exterminated", so there will definitely be more people with similar thoughts within the Cao family, and maybe they will know more inside information.

Xie Mulin didn't care how the Cao family and their allies ate dogs and dogs, fighting in the nest. She just wanted to know, is it possible for the Cao family to let Xie Pu go? Anyway, Xie Pu didn't plan to continue to be married to the Cao family, if the Cao family could successfully remarry Fang Wenshan, would Pingnan Bofu feel that Xie Pu was no longer an obstacle and would no longer bite him so tightly?

Obviously, now the Cao family is targeting Xie Pu again, forcing that Xie Pu is the guilty person and Wang Angui is innocent...... It doesn't make sense anymore. And with the turmoil between Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi, there are also contradictions that are difficult to reconcile in a short period of time in the three heads of the Cao family. As long as Empress Cao and the Chengenhou Mansion in the palace no longer interfere in Xie Pu's case, the Xie family only needs to deal with one Pingnan Bo Mansion, and maybe add Fang Wenshan, it should be much easier, right?

Things turned out as she expected. With the death of Wang Angui, the situation in the court has changed subtly.

While defending his own family Lin Dongnan, the Lin family, who attacked Xie Pu as the culprit of the river engineering case, seems to have finally figured out what the Cao family's real plot was. They threw Xie Pu away, and instead regarded Wang Angui as a heinous person, and kept throwing charges at him, and some things that Lin Dongnan couldn't say clearly were also counted on his head.

Anyway, Wang An's nobles are dead, and all kinds of criminal evidence have been almost destroyed by the Wang family, the Cao family and the Cheng family, saying that he is guilty, he has no way to refute himself, and the Cao family and the Cheng family no longer insist that he is innocent. The most important thing is that Xie Pu was easily abandoned by the Cao family, and he was obviously not an important person. Wang Angui was under the protection of the Cao family, and he survived for so long. His position in the Cao family's powerful circle is definitely more important than Xie Pu! He is a member of the Cao, Cheng, and Wang families, and he completely stinks, and the Cao, Cheng, and Wang families are all dragged into the water, what a bargain! In contrast, Xie Pu is just a lonely person, and now he has long become an outcast and has no value.

In addition, Wang Angui's eldest daughter is the woman that the prince is infatuated with, and with the permission of Queen Cao, she almost became a Liangdi in the East Palace, which shows that the relationship between the Wang family and the Middle Palace and the East Palace is very close. Wang Angui committed a big crime, but he blamed Lin Dongnan, it must be to help the queen and the prince eradicate dissidents! Therefore, after Wang Angui was arrested, Empress Cao and the crown prince said good things about him respectively. And when the emperor ordered that Wang Angui should be dealt with strictly, the prince still knelt in front of the queen and begged bitterly to intercede for Wang Angui. If Wang Angui is not a diehard loyalist who excludes dissidents for the prince, it can only mean that the prince is fascinated by beauty and has lost his sense of proportion as a prince! Such a prince, who will inherit the unification in the future, how can he be a Ming monarch?

All kinds of rumors that were unfavorable to the queen and the crown prince spread among the government and the opposition, and not only the official and eunuch classes were in an uproar, but even the people in the market were quietly discussing. The Cao family was certainly furious, and the Xie family also vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Xie Mulin said to Xie Huizhi in private: "Why do I think this is like the Lin family fishing in troubled waters?" This is Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince taking the opportunity to attack the queen and the crown prince, right? ”

Xie Huizhi thought so: "I've seen those people who talk loudly about similar gossip in teahouses and restaurants. Even if everyone else here advised them not to mention such a thing again, the common people did not dare to offend the dignitaries for fear of causing trouble, they still had to chew their tongues until they were attracted to take them away. But within a few days, they appeared in other teahouses and restaurants, and continued to talk about the so-called secrets of the palace. If there is no official relationship, how can these little people easily get out of the yamen quickly? I have inquired, and it was the people from Jiangning County who arrested them. And the current county magistrate of Jiangning County happens to be the nephew of the Lin family! ”

Xie Mulin understood, and said: "This is also a good thing, anyway, the Lin family is no longer biting on Daddy, and the Cao family has to deal with the attack of the Lin family, and they may not have the strength to continue to embarrass Daddy." If Dali Temple takes this opportunity to close the case quickly, we can also feel at ease as soon as possible. ”

Unfortunately, there has been no major movement in Dali Temple, and it seems that the investigation of the case is still continuing. Wang Angui's sudden death surprised them for a while, but it did not affect their pace. Xie Pu also stayed in prison peacefully, and he was very happy to see his wife Wen and second son Xie Jinzhi, but he had no other instructions other than to let them continue to wait for news with peace of mind.

Wen was very anxious, she didn't understand why Xie Pu couldn't be released yet? Obviously, Wang Angui committed suicide in fear of sin, didn't he? The people sent to Dongchang by Dali Temple also returned to the capital and presented all kinds of evidence of Wang Angui's crimes, which still can't prove Xie Pu's innocence? She was worried that it was the Cao family who had bribed the officials of Dali Temple and was intent on embarrassing Xie Pu.

However, Xie Jinzhi noticed something unusual and comforted his mother in time. He thought that his father could not be completely ignorant of his situation, and that he would let them wait for the news, and he must have a plan. If his father was cooperating with Dali Temple and wanted to do something to the Cao family, then their family members really couldn't recklessly sabotage Dali Temple's plan.

Back at the Li family, Xie Jinzhi summoned his second sister Xie Mulin and third brother Xie Huizhi, and in front of Wen's family, he said his thoughts and said, "Father must know his own situation. Let's not be surprised, take matters into our own hands and hinder my father's affairs, just continue to wait for news for now. ”

Xie Mulin felt that his idea made sense, but he didn't understand: "What are my father and the people of Dali Temple planning to do?" ”

Xie Huizhi said: "I'll continue to find someone to inquire about the news!" The day after tomorrow, there is a banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion, and Cao Rong is also going, I can pretend to be his follower and sneak in, maybe I can find out some useful news. ”

Xie Jinzhi hurriedly said: "Third brother, don't be impulsive! Although the Cao family doesn't take our family into account now, they have long put aside their kinship, and they may not be able to do anything. You still have to be a little more careful, lest the juniors or minions of the Cao family calculate you and use you to curry favor with the elders. You can avoid the Cao family, or better avoid it. Don't go to the banquet or something, right? ”

Xie Huizhi said with a smile: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" Second brother rest assured, the younger brother is clever and won't ask them to calculate! ”

Wen touched his head lovingly: "Good boy, no matter how clever you are, you can't stop the powerful people in your family, so you can't be too cautious in your actions." Even if you can't get any news, it doesn't matter, as long as you're safe and sound. ”

Xie Huizhi was moved, his heart was warm, and he responded with a smile.

However, before the banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion began, Xie Jinzhi and the Wen family first brought back a surprising news.

Xie Pu signed the contract, gave a secret word, and handed over most of the Xie family's wealth to the Pingnan Bofu for "trusteeship".
