The group that was originally going to return to David's Jingshi was directly rerouted to the Qingqiu Secret Realm by Wang Duobao.

The ancestral land of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Clan, Qingqiu Secret Realm, is located in Qingzhou, one of the nine states in the south of David.

Everyone turned around and went all the way south, and the news shocked the fox girl Qing Woo that day.

She ran to persuade Wang Duobao to change her mind, what she said was nothing more than how dangerous the ancestral land of the demon clan was, even if she went to Qingzhou, she might not be able to enter the secret realm.

These Wang Duobao were all ready, and they all politely rejected Qing Wuwu's persuasion.

As long as he arrives in Qingzhou, where the Qingqiu Secret Realm is located, there is no need for him to look for it, presumably the Demon Clan's ancestral land will take the initiative to open the gate and invite him in.

At the same time, the news that Wang Duobao had diverted south to explore the secret realm of Qingqiu also quickly spread to David Jingshi.

However, at this time, it was not Wei Qi but Wei Ren who was sitting in the imperial study of the palace.

"Your Highness, do you want to tell Your Majesty about this matter, and let Your Majesty come forward to persuade Prince Jue to return?"

The minister asked tentatively, Wei Ren shook his head quietly, and pressed the secret report that had just been handed over to the corner of the table.

"No need. The father is cautious and forbearant by nature, if he knew that Xiao Nineteen would take such a risk, he would have come forward in person, but it would have ruined Xiao Nineteen's good deeds. ”

"A good thing?"

The minister was stunned.

"Although the demon clan is sluggish now, no matter how you say it, it is the ancestral land of the demon clan, and it is extremely dangerous!"

"Don't be afraid."

Wei Ren chuckled and shook his head.

"Don't forget that he is still following the heir of the reincarnation desperate situation, Wu Jian, his father failed to persuade Xiao Nineteen back, and it turns out that Xiao Nineteen is indeed right, he can use Wu Jian's power."

"Wechen understood."

The red-clothed minister bowed slightly, and Wei Ren opened his mouth and asked:

"How's the investigation of what I have explained?"

"Your Royal Highness, the conclusion of the investigation of the Inner Secret Division is almost certain, and the current corruption inside and outside the court is serious, and the spearhead is directly aimed at Li Baocai, the head of King Gong's mansion!"

The red-clothed minister's tone was solemn.

"According to the information combed through, the source of this big net of corruption is the few people who were promoted by Prince Jue from Qingzhou and his party."

"They formed a party and acted in concert for personal gain, and reported each other to corrupt officials and corrupt officials who were not on their side in the local area in exchange for merit and deceived the prince Jue, so as to gain the opportunity to ascend to the throne."

"And Li Baocai, who was kind to Prince Jue in the secret realm of emptiness, has begun to be pampered and arrogant since he entered Prince Gong's mansion, relying on the support of Prince Youjue, secretly colluding with and developing this group of original corrupt officials in the court, calling himself King Gong's party!"

"According to rough estimates, this group of people has embezzled as much as 400,000 taels of silver in less than a year! That's more than the dirty silver we David's first thirty years of investigation and punishment combined, and that's just a rough estimate! ”

Wei Ren's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his face became solemn, his fingers constantly tapping on the tabletop, showing the anxiety in his heart under his calm face.

After the minister finished speaking, Wei Ren slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity to calm his mind and said:

"I don't want almost, I want the guilt to be conclusive! The Inner Secret Division has intensified its efforts to strictly investigate and thoroughly investigate, and it must be found out before Xiao Nineteen returns to Beijing! ”

The red-clothed minister was shocked when he heard this, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.

"Weichen dared to ask, His Royal Highness suppressed this secret report and did not let His Majesty come forward to persuade Prince Jue to return, is it to delay Prince Jue's return to Beijing?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an eerie silence in the imperial study.

Wei Ren was silent for a long time and then asked slowly:

"Do you know what is the crime of spreading rumors of discord in the royal family?"

As soon as the words came out, he immediately knelt down on the ground in a cold sweat that frightened the old man in red and kowtowed repeatedly.

"It's Wechen who said the wrong thing, it's Wechen who talks a lot, and I hope His Highness will forgive you!"

Wei Ren looked at the red-clothed old minister and kowtowed for a while before he said slowly:

"Get up, I don't blame you."

"You are a loyal minister, I know that you are worried that I, the eighth prince, will act against the most favored nineteen princes as soon as he comes out of the customs, and the party struggle between the princes will cause turmoil in the imperial court, and the foundation of the country will be unstable."

Saying that, Wei Ren stood up, walked to the table, and personally helped the red-clothed old minister who was still kneeling and didn't dare to get up.

"But I, Weiren, am not a person who likes power."

"You said that it is both right and wrong, I do have part of my mind to delay Xiao Nineteen's return to Beijing, so as to attack his chief manager Li Baocai."

"But you're wrong, I'm not doing this because the prince's party is fighting for power, but because I'm worried that although Xiao Nineteen is smart, he is still young and easy to be bewitched."

"If you wait for him to return to Beijing and then check on Li Baocai, maybe he will deliberately cover it up, and then it will be troublesome."

The red-clothed old minister was full of guilt when he heard these words, and shouted: "Your Highness is benevolent, and Weichen is terrified!" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Wei Ren was not guilty of the past, and after picking up the old minister in red, he returned to his main seat, and then the old minister saluted again:

"But Weichen is still uneasy, His Royal Highness is undoubtedly slapping the face of Prince Jue like this, and I am afraid that he will have a bad relationship with Prince Jue when the time comes!"

Wei Ren nodded silently.

"That's true, but as long as the evidence is conclusive, presumably Xiao Nineteen will also understand the truth of this, and it's a big deal that I will personally compensate him when the time comes."

"But you have to remember, compared to these interpersonal relationships or the feelings of the same race, David's popular heart and the morals in the court are the most important!"

The red-clothed old minister was shocked, and said respectfully:

"Wechen has been taught."

After that, the minister retired, and only Wei Ren was left in the imperial study.

He got up and walked to the window, pushed it open, looked up at the night sky, and muttered:

"Juan'er, haven't you broken the level yet? At the moment, the state affairs are busy, and I am afraid that I will not be able to guard the customs for you. ”

At the same time, Wang Duobao and his entourage were also rushing to Qingzhou non-stop.

The news of Wei Ren's exit was very tightly blocked, and it spread among some of the high-level officials of the Inner Secret Division, and did not reach Wang Duobao's ears.

Most of those investigations were conducted in the dark, and the investigations on the surface were just petty fights, and even Li Baocai didn't realize that he had been targeted.

On the night when Wang Duobao and his entourage had just stepped into the boundary of Qingzhou, Qingqiu Ningqian, the great sage of the Qingqiu clan, came to find the fox girl Qingwu again.

"What are you doing again?"

In the room, she was glaring at this uninvited guest.

"Of course I'm here to see your jokes."

Qingqiu Ningqian is random one, and he is used to it as if he was in his own home.

He looked at the woman in front of him playfully and said:

"The elders already know about your obstruction of the plan, but no matter how much you persuade him, won't he still come?"

"What I want to tell you is that tomorrow the elders will open the secret realm, invite that Wei Jue to enter, and when the time comes, the spirit tail of the old ancestor will be collected, and you will be useless."

These words alerted Qing Woo.

"What do you mean? Are the elders going to strip me of my position as a great saint because of this? ”

"Hahaha!"

Qingqiu Ning shook his head with a laugh, and walked to the door of the room to look at Qing Wu sarcastically.

"I don't like you, the Great Holy Maiden, not only because I hate the traditions that have been imposed on me. It's all the more because you're just an outcast, a victim. I won't form a marriage with a victim, but I'm glad you didn't stick it on me. ”

Victim? Abandoned son?

Qing Wu Wu was suddenly startled, and she was terrified in her heart, seeing that Qingqiu Ning Qian was about to leave, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed it.

"Wait a minute, you make it clear to me!"

But she didn't catch anything, Qingqiu Ning Qian still left, and didn't explain anything.

This time, she had a sleepless night.
