Chapter 126: Selfishness
Because of Lei Hong's constraints and the cooperation of the second lady, the search of the Ming family ended quickly.
The officials left the Ming house with boxes of evidence and account books.
The second lady dragged her tired body back to her residence and found that the sixth son, Minghao, was waiting for her.
Thirteen-year-old Ming Hao is almost as tall as her, but at this time he looks confused and at a loss.
The second lady felt sour: "Liu'er." ”
"Mother!" Minghao walked over quickly.
"Have you had dinner? Why is your face so ugly? Didn't you sleep well last night......"
"Mother!" Ming Hao interrupted her, "How can I sleep at this time?" Tell me, can't my dad come back? ”
The second lady smiled reluctantly: "What did you say?" How could your dad ......?"
"I hear it all!" Ming Hao shouted, "Those officials, come here to be Cha Da's." Mother, don't hide it from me, I'm not young anymore, and I'm qualified to know the truth! ”
"Liu'er!"
Minghao realized that he was too excited, so he eased down a little and lowered his voice: "I'm sorry, mother." I'm just too anxious, such a big thing happened, my father, the fourth uncle and the fourth brother are all gone, and I am the eldest man in the family. Mother, I'm not a child anymore, can you let me share some of it? ”
Listening to these words, the second lady suddenly found that the child in her mind could no longer be treated as a child.
He was right, children of the age of poor families had already started working to earn money.
What's more, if he loses his father, he can't be sensible?
The second lady thought about it like this and said, "Liu'er, if you really want to know, my mother will tell you." ”
……
Jiang Wenfeng is well versed in practice, and in just three days, Dongning has calmed down again.
The fast horses have already gone to the capital, and they can bring the evidence of the crime and escort the relevant people into the capital when they only wait for the will of the superiors.
Yang Shu came back from outside, saw Jiang Wenfeng's tired face, and said, "Didn't sleep another night?" Look at you like this, the old man stays up less late! ”
Jiang Wenfeng rubbed his face: "Persuade me to stay up less late, you should do more!" If you don't do it yourself, you can't do it yourself. ”
Yang Shu was uneven: "Where do I do less?" Who is investigating Wu Kuan's death? ”
"Did you find out?"
Yang Shu nodded: "Now I can be sure that there is indeed a human factor in Wu Kuan's death." The reason why he intervened in this matter should have been motivated by others. The man was very clever and couldn't find much trace. ”
Jiang Wenfeng pondered for a moment and said, "This matter should not be underestimated. There is someone behind Ming San, and so is Wu Kuan, if it is the same force, it is quite terrifying. ”
How can it not be scary? If it weren't for the discovery of Gengsan's death this time, if it dragged on for a few more years, King Qidong might have really been instigated to rebel.
Whether or not it can succeed is secondary. As soon as the rebellion came out, the political situation was inevitably turbulent. As soon as the political situation is turbulent, the Northern Qi Dynasty will not be peaceful.
You must know that since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it has not been completely unified, there are Southern Chu in the south, and there are Hu people in the north, once they are in chaos, they will be easily swallowed.
"I'm wondering if it could be sent by Nan Chu." Yang Shu lowered his voice.
Who is most beneficial to the Northern Qi chaos? Of course, the two neighboring forces. Beihu is a herdsman, and he can't do this, and only Nanchu has such talents.
The previous dynasty fell, and Qi Chu took its place. Taizu of Northern Qi was born as a low-ranking officer and rose to prominence, but Southern Chu was an old minister of the former dynasty and sought to seize the throne.
Therefore, the reputation of the Southern Chu royal family is not very good, but their background is much thicker. Those strangers in the previous dynasty may have let them all accept it.
"It's possible." Jiang Wenfeng said, "This line will definitely be traced in the future, and we will report it to the saint truthfully." ”
Yang Shu nodded, and asked him again: "Have you tried Ming San?" ”
Jiang Wenfeng shook his head.
"Hey, you can bear it?"
Ming San came back from the dead, Jiang Wenfeng didn't know it at first. It wasn't until Yang Shu rushed back and solved the siege crisis that he saw Ming San who had been captured.
Jiang Wenfeng's temperament loves to get to the bottom of things, and it is really unexpected for Yang Shu to be able to endure such a mysterious thing.
"There are too many transactions. What's more, I don't think it's useful to interrogate Ming San. ”
"How?"
Jiang Wenfeng said: "In this world, the softest bones are scholars, and the hardest bones are also scholars. What's the difference? It's about whether they have faith in their hearts or not. Naturally, there are no people like Wu Yi, so if you are scared, you will say anything. People like Ming San ......"
He shook his head: "Although he is different from ordinary scholars, he has no thoughts of benevolence and righteousness in his heart, but he is more determined than ordinary people. Look at what he did, take refuge in the king of Liuyang County, fake his death and get out, sneak back to Dongning, and encourage the king of Qidong County...... For ten years, he was like a mouse, living cautiously and carefully. If you don't have a strong will, it's impossible to endure such days. ”
"I think about it, those interrogation methods are useless to Ming San. I couldn't think of a better way for the time being, so I simply colded him first. ”
As he spoke, Yang Shu nodded. After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "It's just right, I have a solution, do you want to use it?" ”
Jiang Wenfeng looked at him suspiciously.
Yang Shu's face did not change: "This method requires a few more people." ”
"Who?"
"The Ming family." He thought for a moment, "It's best to bring the King of Qidong with you." ”
Jiang Wenfeng shook his head: "The rest of the Ming family, you can dispose of it at will, but you can't move the king of Qidong County." ”
"I don't move, I just borrow it."
"Nope." Jiang Wenfeng was unmoved, "Wu Kuan died inexplicably, and the king of Qidong County must not make a mistake." ”
Yang Shu knew what his temper was, and seeing him like this, he couldn't fight anymore, so he sighed and retreated: "Okay, okay, you are the chief official, you have the final say." ”
Jiang Wenfeng thought for a moment in his heart, and then said, "This is Miss Seven's idea?" ”
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows: "So easy to guess?" ”
Jiang Wenfeng smiled: "Who else can command you?" ”
After a pause, he added: "I shouldn't have been in your nosy, but we have walked all the way, and we have a slight friendship......
"If you want to ask, just ask," Yang Shu didn't care, "When did you Lord Jiang become such a mother-in-law?" ”
"Okay." Jiang Wenfeng said, "These days, Miss Seven's reputation has almost ruined because of you. Although it is to investigate the case, she is a girl's family, and she can't ignore it. What are you going to do? ”
Yang Shuqi said: "What to do? Can't you tell me to marry her? She's not an ordinary woman, so where would she care about this. ”
"She doesn't care, and no one else cares?" Jiang Wenfeng said, "Although this matter is hidden, there will still be more or less atmosphere leaking out." In addition to not being clear with you, there is also a suspicion of colluding with outsiders to harm your family. You know how terrible the reputation of the world is that it is harsher to women and harm their families because of their personal affairs. ”
