Zheng Nanfei, the Minister of Justice, held the file with a frown on his face.

The Wang Deli that Yao Wenyuan had captured was none other than the brother of his concubine Wang Meisu. Back then, when he was on a mission to Haozhou under imperial decree, he passed by Luguang Town and encountered Wang Deli's sister, Wang Meisu. He fell in love with her at first sight, and so he took her in as his wife.

Over the years, Wang Meisu's belly has been good and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him. Wang Meisu's charm is still as good as before, which is why he remembers Wang Deli among so many wives and concubines.

Another reason is that part of the interest that Wang Deli embezzled went into his pocket.

Zheng Nanfei was frowning at this time, and his second-in-command Lu Guangshu was observing him. Seeing him so worried, he must have encountered a difficult case.

"Sir, are you worried about something? Can I help you solve your worries?" Lu Guangshu stepped forward and said.

Zheng Nanfei put the file behind him and waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing, go ahead."

Lu Guangshu nodded and said, "Okay, sir, call me if you need anything."

Lu Guangshu returned to his seat. Seeing him like this, he knew that this matter must be difficult to resolve, and he didn't want others to know.

Lu Guangshu's eyes rolled, and he secretly asked the person who delivered the file. The person said that the file was sent by the magistrate of Furui County, and it was expedited.

When Lu Guangshu heard about Furui County, his eyes flickered, and he wondered who was actually in Furui County. Suddenly, an idea struck him: Yao Wenyuan, the beloved son of the Minister of Personnel, was serving as the county magistrate there! Furthermore, the Emperor had personally bestowed upon him the title of Huijing Xiangjun. It seemed like something important was happening there. If he could seize this opportunity, he might even be able to take the position of Minister of Punishment!

Thinking this, he went out, ready to find out more information.

…

When Zheng Nanfei returned home, Wang Meisu came to greet him. Zheng Nanfei got a headache when he saw her, and he thought of Wang Deli when he saw her.

Wang Meisu saw him frowning and understood what was going on. She suppressed her thoughts and said softly, "Fei Lang, are you worried about something?"

Seeing that she didn't mention Wang Deli's affairs, Zheng Nanfei thought she didn't know about it, so he pretended not to know. "It's nothing, just that there are some things happening in the officialdom that make me worried..."

"Feilang, don't be angry. Don't get sick from anger over things that are not worth it. Jinbao, Yinbao and Yubao are all counting on you, Feilang~" Wang Meisu helped him change his clothes.

Zheng Nanfei enjoyed Wang Meisu's attentive service without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Meisu had to think of another way.

When the two of them were sleeping at night, Wang Meisu suddenly sat up and cried.

Zheng Nanfei was shocked. "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Feilang, I dreamed about my brother. He told me that he was imprisoned and that he was going to die soon... Wuuuu, Feilang, you know, my brother is very good to me. He gave us all his money. He was afraid that Jinbao, Yinbao and Yubao would be bullied..." Wang Meisu cried with tears in her eyes.

Wang Meisu cried until she fell softly into Zheng Nanfei's arms. Zheng Nanfei looked at the woman in his arms and sighed, "I didn't want to tell you at first. People say brothers are united, but I didn't expect that you siblings could also communicate with each other. Your brother has indeed been captured..."

Wang Meisu feigned surprise and asked, "Who arrested him? My brother is the mayor of Luguang Town. Over the years, everyone has spoken well of him. How could someone arrest him?"

Zheng Nanfei sighed at her innocent appearance. "Ah, you are too naive. Do you really think that being a small mayor will give you so much money to share with you and me, as well as our gold, silver and jade treasures?"

Wang Meisu pretended to be stunned. Zheng Nanfei touched her hair and said, "Hey, I just like your innocent look. After so many years, you are still like this. It seems that your brother and I have protected you very well..."

Wang Meisu suppressed her anger in her heart, but still smiled and said, "It's a blessing to have a brother and Feilang~"

Zheng Nanfei sighed, "I didn't tell you because I wanted to hold it back so that things wouldn't get any worse, and I didn't want you to worry. Since you didn't know about this, and you dreamed about it, it means I have to tell you."

"What did my brother do wrong?" Wang Meisu wondered.

"Your brother has been found guilty of corruption, abuse of power for personal gain, and multiple crimes by Yao Wenyuan. Now the case has been urgently sent to the Ministry of Justice. This worries me to death..." Zheng Nanfei said with a sigh.

"Can you save my brother? Feilang, please...I only have this one brother..." Wang Meisu said miserably.

"Hey, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that we're stuck here now. Do you know who Yao Wenyuan is?" Zheng Nanfei stroked Wang Meisu's hair.

"Who is it? No matter how high his official rank is, can he be higher than you, Feilang?" Wang Meisu put her hand on Zheng Nanfei's shoulder and said weakly.

"Of course not, but his father is as high-ranking as me, and his uncle is the King of Freedom. If I do something too obvious, I will probably be in big trouble before I can even make things difficult for him." Zheng Nanfei analyzed the pros and cons.

"Well, since you can't make things difficult for him, just hold it off for now. If you delay it for too long, he might forget about it. And if the higher-ups don't ask, even if Yao Wenyuan asks again, you can just say you're waiting for a reply." Wang Meisu suggested.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that this is possible..." Zheng Nanfei kissed her fiercely.

Wang Meisu smiled harmlessly, "I just said it on Feilang's behalf. It's not Susu's credit."

Wang Meisu thought of something and reminded him, "Fei Lang, I'm not saying this, but Yao Wenyuan is too stupid. He didn't even check who was behind my brother. If he knew it was Fei Lang, he should have given Fei Lang face!"
