Chapter 271: Chess Pieces

Xie Qin heard this and said, "There is something. ”

He took out a letter from his sleeve cage and handed it directly to Su Ruan.

"Let's take a look at this letter."

Su Ruan was a little surprised, and after reaching out to take the envelope, he opened it and looked at it.

After reading the contents of the letter, the surprise in Su Ruan's eyes faded, his eyes sank slightly, he looked up at Xie Qin and said, "Third uncle, this letter ......"

"This letter was sent by Zhang Ning."

Xie Qin is not a man who can beat around the bush, and he has doubts in his heart, so he said directly:

"Some time ago, Qingheng came to me and told me to find someone to go to Zhangning to secretly investigate the affairs of Yue Rong's father and son."

"Yue Rong is an old friend of his mother, and he has a very close relationship, and the Xuanping Hou Mansion and the Yue family have always been in contact, I was puzzled and asked, Qing Heng said that he suspected that Yue Rong's father and son had a problem."

Xie Qin was skeptical about this matter at that time, not that he suspected Su Ruan of lying, but that the relationship between Yue Rong and Old Madam Xie was extraordinary.

If he rashly sent someone to investigate Yue Rong's father and son, if they really had a problem, it would be better to say, if not, it would inevitably ruin the friendship between the Yue family and Old Madam Xie.

It's just that Xie Qingheng believed in Su Ruan very much, and after Xie Qin was persuaded by him, he was also ready to send someone over to investigate secretly.

Who thought that before he had made arrangements here, the emperor had already ordered Xie Yuan and Lin Gang to take someone to Zhangning to investigate the matter of the Bo family.

Xie Qin looked up at Su Ruan and said:

"Qing Heng told me at the time, telling him that he had seen the people sent by Yue Rong's father and son in Jingnan, and those people had also chased and killed with the people of the Bo family, and wanted to get the account book in his hand."

"Is this true?"

Fake, of course.

The reason why Su Ruan said this to Xie Qingheng at that time was just to remind Xie Qingheng to guard against Yue Rong and them, but she couldn't tell them the truth about Yue Rong and Yue Qian's future follow-up to Emperor An, so she casually made up a reason, saying that she had met someone sent by Yue Qian when she was in Jingnan.

At that time, she didn't say it too surely, and left some leeway, just in case she thought too much and misunderstood the Yue family father and son.

But now after seeing the letter sent back by Xie Yuan, Su Ruan already had the answer in his heart.

Yue Rong and Yue Qian really turned their backs on Mrs. Xie, and even defected to Emperor An.

And the disaster of the extermination of the Xie family in the previous life is probably also due to the father and son of the Yue family.

Su Ruan's heart was cold, and he answered without hesitation.

"It's true."

Su Ruan said: "At that time, Jing Nan was in chaos, and suddenly a group of people rushed in to hunt down and kill my mother and me. ”

"I didn't know who Yue Qian was at the time, but I overheard it and wrote it down, thinking that he might be the one who killed my father, but I didn't expect to hear this name again from my grandmother some time ago."

"And he's the son of my grandmother's best friend."

Xie Qin's face sank slightly, and his eyes were full of dark clouds.

Qi Wenfu said on the side:

"The matter of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion has been investigated before, and the reason why the eldest prince attacked the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and even used the Cao family's youngest son Cao Yu to instigate Xie Liugongzi to cause trouble several times, was because he was instigated by the second prince Yuwen Yan'an to insert it beside him."

"The second prince and the Bo family deliberately leaked the identity of his mother to let the eldest prince know, and then encouraged the eldest prince to come forward, using his desire to subdue the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for his own use, so there was so much chaos before."

"Yuwen Yan wants to kill two birds with one stone, not only to accept the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for his use, but also to remove the people of the eldest prince and the Cao family."

Qi Wenfu touched the soft hair on the back of the orange's neck in his hand, and said softly:

"That fine work was caught by our people and spit it out, and Bo Xi has already recognized it."

"I went to see Bo Xi yesterday and asked about Yue Rong, but Bo Xi didn't know about it, and I had never heard of the names of Yue Rong's father and son, so there are two possibilities now."

"One, the person I heard in Jingnan at the beginning is not the same person as Yueqian in Zhangning."

"Second, the father and son of the Yue family are related to the matter of the Bo family's soldiers, and even the matter of the second prince framing the Xuanping Marquis Mansion at the beginning, Yue Rong and they have long known about it."

"Yue Rong deceived Mrs. Xie, and even had malicious intentions towards the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and they should have always used Mrs. Xie to know some things in the capital, and even had other thoughts about the Xie family."

After Qi Wenfu finished speaking, he looked up at Xie Qin and Su Ruan.

"I'm leaning towards the latter."

That Yue Rong and Yue Qian, there must be something wrong.

Su Ruan had heard of Yue Qian's name in Jingnan, and after Xie Yuan went, the father and son inquired about the news and alarmed Lin Gang.

Qi Wenfu has some understanding of Lin Gang, and this imperial historian has always been keen, and he has never been targeted.

Since he doubted Yue Rong's father and son, the Yue Rong father and son must have revealed some flaws that made him suspicious.

Qi Wenfu looked up at Xie Qin and said:

"Lord Xie, Hou Ye Xie and their side are already investigating Yue Rong's father and son, but since the father and son dared to take the initiative to show up and go to find Hou Ye Xie, I am afraid that even if there is a real problem, they have already been cleaned up, and Hou Ye Xie and they may not be able to find out any real evidence."

"Yue Rong and Mrs. Xie have a great friendship, and they have a friendship in the past, so it's best to remind Mrs. Xie at this end, lest she be deceived by the father and son, and when the time comes, she will be tricked into doing something, so that the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion will become a chess piece in the hands of others."

Xie Qin's face was slightly gloomy, and he was about to nod.

The door curtain was suddenly opened, and Old Madam Xie's face was extremely ugly: "What chess piece?" ”

"Mother?"

"Grandmother?!"

Xie Qin and Su Ruan both spoke at the same time.

Old Madam Xie ignored them, just looked at Qi Wenfu with such a calm gaze and said, "Lord Qi, I just heard about Yue Rong's father and son outside, what did they do, why did you remind me to guard against them?" ”

Qi Wenfu looked at Xie Qin when he heard this.

Xie Qin hurriedly got up and stepped forward: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

Old Madam Xie pursed her lips.

She originally heard that Qi Wenfu and Xie Qin came to see Su Ruan, thinking that the Bo family's affairs had progressed, so she came to take a look, but who would have thought that when she just walked outside the door, she heard the words behind Qi Wenfu just now.

Old Madam Xie said calmly: "Third child, what's going on?" ”

Xie Qin was silent for a moment before signaling Su Ruan to hand over the letter to Old Madam Xie, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Yue Rong father and son, I'm afraid it has something to do with the matter of the Bo family......

Old Madam Xie's eyes stiffened a little, and she took the letter with an extremely ugly face and quickly flipped through it.
