250: Finding a different way
Yin Qingyun listened, only to feel her eyelids jump, thinking that she was hallucinating.
The Cui family has always had strict rules to the point of outrageousness, and Cui Chengyu, as the grandson of the main house, has been carefully taught in front of Cui Wu since he was a child, so that he has lived into the scenery of being able to enter the court at a young age and live steadily as a deputy prime minister.
But what he just said was so frivolous that it was not like words.
It stands to reason that although she has not yet left the cabinet, she has a marriage contract.
Yu Daoyi, she is Xiao Zhi's fiancΓ©e, Cui Chengyu and Xiao Zhi are so good on weekdays, but he says this kind of bastard thing behind his back.
Cui Chengyu raised his head and glanced at her vague face hidden behind the white gauze hat, and smiled: "Miss Yin can ask whatever she wants, she knows everything, she will never deceive." β
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the hall in the teahouse, blowing the yarn in front of Yin Qingyun's eyes, Cui Chengyu's gaffe just now seemed to be just her illusion, and now sitting in front of her was only Cui Shilang, who was praised by everyone in the court.
"Okay, then let me ask you, the cases of the Lu family and the Gao family have been handed over to you for investigation, but why has there been no progress?"
How many pairs of eyes in the capital stared at this matter, hoping to hurt the vitality of the Lu family.
Once Lu Wenhe is convicted of murder, he will be entered into the documents and classics, and the entire Lu family, Queen Lu, and Xiao Huan, who has just become the crown prince, will be implicated.
But Ning Luo said that the emperor suddenly turned in favor of the Lu family, which made Yin Qingyun's heart like a cat's claw, and if he didn't understand the reason, he was always uncomfortable in his heart.
When Cui Chengyu heard this, the softness in his eyes paused, and the teacup in his hand stopped.
"Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
Yin Qingyun frowned: "Didn't you just say that you know everything, say everything, and never deceive?" β
Cui Chengyu coughed embarrassedly, and only said slowly after a long time: "Actually, it's not that I was negligent in my duties and couldn't investigate this case, but that all the powerful evidence was handed over to Your Majesty, but he said it was useless, and I will investigate it again." β
"Your Majesty said it was useless?"
Cui Chengyu nodded, and his face was also distressed: "Looking at Your Majesty's appearance, it seems that he wants to protect Lu Wenhe for the Lu family...... Maybe I don't want the prince to be stained with anything. β
This is also human nature.
Even if the emperor has no feelings for Empress Lu, in the end, the prince was personally chosen by him, and he can't let the prince's own uncle be charged with murder.
Besides, among the families in the capital, this kind of thing of vain death is not uncommon, but it all depends on whether the power is big or not, and whether it can be covered or not.
Gao Rubin's place of death was just too conspicuous, and he also alarmed the patrolling Admiral of Jiumen, so he made trouble in front of the emperor, otherwise there would be nothing to do, and find a way to give the Gao family some benefits, and it would be a big thing and a small matter.
Yin Qingyun's delicate fingers tugged at the white yarn on the edge of the hat, and suddenly asked, "Then did Your Majesty say anything else?" β
Cui Chengyu shook his head: "No, I just said that I would continue to investigate and return the Lu family to innocence." β
β...... What innocence can the Lu family have? β
"This is what Your Majesty meant, as our subordinates, how can we speculate wildly."
Yin Qingyun's fingers clenched tightly, and after the blue and white appeared, he slowly let go, and his fingertips returned to the same as before, as if he had thought of something: "Your Majesty asked you to continue to investigate?" β
Cui Chengyu smiled and paused: "What do you mean." β
Yin Qingyun thought about it again and again, and felt that that the idea was unlikely, so he said nothing, and then picked up the porcelain cup and drank two sips of bitter tea.
Bitter and hard to swallow, but slightly sweet aftertaste.
Cui Chengyu couldn't see Yin Qingyun's expression hidden behind the hat, and could only judge from her white fingers holding the edge of the teacup to the white, and she was a little anxious and even at a loss.
"This is an excellent opportunity, if Your Majesty is really determined to protect the Lu family, maybe I will join forces with the old department of the Cui family to play a joint performance, and hand over other evidence to Your Majesty to see."
Cui Chengyu's slightly heavy voice sounded in his ears, and Yin Qingyun raised his eyes to look at him, waiting for his next words.
"The Lu family is also a century-old family in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and like the Cui family, they are all merits handed down from their ancestors, but the Lu family is very spoiled in the upbringing of their children and grandchildren, and they secretly connived at them to do many wrong things."
There was silence in the teahouse, Cui Chengyu's voice was very low, and he looked sideways at Xiao Er, who was sleeping darkly in front of the hall, paused and said: "The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the anthill, as long as you collect these evidences one by one...... Maybe he can drag the entire Lu family into the water. β
Yin Qingyun raised her head and frowned: "It seems that you have an idea." β
She knew that it was impossible for a smart person like Cui Chengyu to hesitate in front of a case where the truth was clear, so she had come up with another way.
Now that the emperor intends to clear Lu Wenhe's name, Cui Chengyu will make a secret visit, slowly collect evidence, and when necessary, present the evidence of the Lu family's crimes to the emperor in front of all the courtiers, even if the emperor cares about Xiao Huan's face, he has to deal with the Lu family.
Yin Qingyun and Cui Chengyu glanced at each other, "Then I will wish Cui Shilang success first." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
Cui Chengyu got up to send Yin Qingyun off, Yin Qingyun bowed his head and saluted him back, and then took Qinglan to the front of the hall to wake up Xiao Er.
Cui Chengyu walked ahead with long legs: "When you go out, how can you let the girl settle the bill." β
Yin Qingyun raised her hand to her lips and smiled, it was really strange that the Cui family had some rules.
It's just two cups of tea money, Cui Chengyu loves to rush to settle the bill, so let him settle it.
Cui Chengyu took out his purse from his sleeve, and after settling the account, he walked out of the teahouse with Yin Qingyun one after another.
The autumn wind gradually rose, and as soon as Cui Chengyu stepped out of the threshold, he was blinded by the wind and sand.
Yin Qingyun escaped with a hat, laughing so unfortunately, holding Qinglan's hand to stand firmly.
On the other side of the street, Yin Qingli was holding a fan in front of him, and he was also hiding from the wind and sand, and Lu Jingxian and Zou Fangxi were standing beside him.
In Lu Jingxian's words of making fun of Zou Fangxi, in less than two months, Zou Fangxi will marry into the East Palace with Yin Qingli.
Yin Qingli rubbed his eyes, looked around, and saw the extremely familiar Qinglan through the crowd, and in a blink of an eye, he recognized that the person standing next to Qinglan wearing a white gauze hat was Yin Qingyun.
"Sister......
As soon as Yin Qingli shouted, he saw Yin Qingyun salute and say goodbye to Cui Chengyu, turned around and walked towards the carriage parked next to the teahouse.
Zou Fangxi and Lu Jingxian also looked in the direction she shouted, and saw the same question in each other's eyes.
How could Miss Yin meet Cui Shilang in this extremely remote teahouse?
The men and women of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open-minded, if they talk about serious things, they just sit down and talk about it openly, why do they have to wear a hat to cover people's eyes? Could it be something unspeakable?
