Chapter 205: The Second Prince's Invitation
"Bang!"
The door of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was closed, and Chu Xiu and Wan Minmin were locked out.
Although Chu Xiu is a general, his official position is not as big as that of the Criminal Department, and he has no real power, so there is no way to take the Criminal Department Shangshu at all.
Just when he was thinking about going to the palace to sue the royal complaint, he was pulled back by Wan Minmin on the side.
Wan Minmin shook his head at Chu Xiu, and said with a sad face: "The Wanjia family is already an outcast, Your Majesty will not make a big deal for the Wanjia, you will only anger Your Majesty if you go, or don't go." ”
The rise and fall of the family is like the wind rising and falling, rising and declining quickly.
Wanjia has decayed, and it is not easy to save the lives of the clansmen, and it is not good for Wanjia to continue to make trouble.
In order to save the lives of other people in the Wan family, Wan Minmin did not plan to continue to pursue her father's death, she personally selected a coffin for her father, and followed Chu Xiu back to the Chu family.
"Miss Wan, don't worry, when the Wan family helped me so much, I will definitely not let the Wan family master die in vain."
"I will definitely find the murderer who killed the master of the Wan family, and let him pay for it with blood!"
On the way back, Chu Xiu said to Wan Minmin with a resolute face.
When Wan Minmin heard this, he shook his head at Chu Xiu, and shouted softly with deep eyes:
"I've guessed who killed my father."
"This person is in a high position and power, and we can't afford to offend him."
is highly powerful, and it is also deliberately aimed at the Wan family......
Could it be the crown prince!
Chu Xiu's eyes flashed with a hint of shock, and he felt that he must have guessed correctly.
After all, there are only a few people who have the ability to let the secretary of the criminal department do things for himself, and the only person who wants to let the master of the family die the most is the prince!
In order to help themselves not be harassed by the prince, Wan Jia took the prince's hot potato, and now that the east window incident has happened, the prince will not help, and he will fall into the well, which is really moral!
If such a person sits in that position, what will Dayan become in the future?
Seeing Chu Xiu's angry appearance, Wan Minmin knew that Chu Xiu had guessed it, in order not to make Chu Xiu impulsive, she endured the sadness in her heart, and deliberately said to Chu Xiu: "The royal family must not be offended, so let's stop here." ”
When Chu Xiu heard this, he looked at Wan Minmin's eyes and was very distressed.
You know, the head of the Wan family is her only blood relative!
Now that the blood herself is dead, she knows who the enemy is but can't take revenge, it's too cruel to her!
……
Back at the mansion, before Chu Xiu and Wan Minmin could catch their breath, the old housekeeper hurriedly ran over.
"Master, you're finally back."
"The housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion has been waiting for you for a long time last week, go and meet you!"
Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Chu Xiu's face showed doubts.
He has nothing to do with the second prince, why would the second prince's housekeeper look for him at this time.
Although he didn't know what the purpose of this Steward Zhou was looking for him, Chu Xiu still took Wan Minmin to the living room.
The reason why Wan Minmin was brought was because Wan Minmin was quick-minded and knew all the major forces in Kyoto, and if there was really anything, she could be her own counselor.
Moreover, Wan Minmin had just lost her relatives, and Chu Xiu didn't want her to grieve too much, so he wanted her to put her mind on other things for the time being.
When the two came to the living room, a middle-aged man had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Chu Xiu appear, he immediately stood up from his chair.
"I've seen General Chu!" Steward Zhou arched his hand to Chu Xiu, very polite.
Although Steward Zhou is just a housekeeper, he is the second prince's person after all, Chu Xiu did not hold him up, raised his hand to help him up, and asked curiously: "Steward Zhou is looking for me, but what are the instructions of His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" ”
"Your Highness has prepared a hunt tomorrow, and I have specially asked the general to participate." Steward Zhou got straight to the point.
When Chu Xiu heard this, the expression on his face was very puzzled, and he didn't understand what medicine was being sold in the second prince's gourd.
Because of the matter between the crown prince and the Wan family, Chu Xiu was very disgusted with the people of the royal family, and he never wanted to have anything to do with the second prince, so he refused: "Thank you for the kindness of the second prince, but I have other things tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't participate." ”
When Steward Zhou heard this, his originally smiling face suddenly darkened.
Since Chu Xiu was so uninteresting, there was no need for him to give Chu Xiu a good face.
said with a cold face: "Your Highness said, if you still want to protect the family, go to the hunting ground on time tomorrow, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
Leaving a word, Steward Zhou didn't even greet Chu Xiu, and left the Chu Mansion with a black face.
Looking at Steward Zhou's back, Chu Xiu's heart was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he wanted to go to the hunting ground tomorrow.
"The second prince should know about your intercession for the Wan family, and it is likely that he asked you to hunt you to deal with the prince."
Wan Minmin suddenly spoke, he looked at Chu Xiu with a serious expression, and continued: "The party struggle is to seek the skin of the tiger, the crown prince and the second prince are not good people, you better not help each other, and don't go to the appointment tomorrow." ”
Chu Xiu didn't plan to go, but if the second prince also fell into the well for the Wan family because of this, wouldn't the Wan family have no way to survive at all?
Wanjia became like this because of himself, how could he watch Wanjia go to a dead end?
Even if tomorrow is a sea of swords and fires, he decided to find out!
In order not to burden Wan Minmin, Chu Xiu did not tell Wan Minmin about his decision, he said hello to Wan Minmin and returned to his room......
Early the next morning.
The imperial court's punishment of Wanjia has come down, and the people of the Criminal Department have directly seized all the properties of Wanjia.
When everyone learned the news, they all dropped their jaws and let out an exclamation.
"Ten thousand families have a big business, why do they go to smuggling?"
"A dignified family, now that it has ended up like this, it is really impermanent!"
"Has the Criminal Department really found out? This is the first of the nine families, how can it be smuggled? ”
Many people don't believe that Wanjia will smuggle, but the Criminal Department has already seized Wanjia's mansion, and even if they question it more, it is useless at this moment.
Under the strange gaze of everyone, Wan Minmin walked out of the Wanjia Mansion with hundreds of Wan family members, she looked at the huge Kyoto, and didn't know where to go for a while, as if there was no place for her here.
Those who used to tie up with thousands of families have long been hiding far away at this moment, for fear of being implicated by thousands of families.
Those who have received the favor of Wanjia are now also spectators of the excitement, and seem to have forgotten everything at the beginning.
The so-called poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, this is human nature, and it is also something that can be seen everywhere in this world.
"Miss, where are we going now?" A tentative question from a member of the Wan family.
The other clansmen also looked at Wan Minmin in unison, now that the head of the Wan family is dead, they can only rely on Wan Minmin.
Wan Minmin's shoulders sank, and the whole person felt pressure, she took a deep breath, turned her head to look at the north, and said with a relieved face:
"Let's go to Chu Mansion!"
