Chapter 261 Cooperation with Wang Tongpan
The Liang family father and son were taken away.
The court was silent and the atmosphere was low-pressure. Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.
Emperor Jiancheng glanced at the group of people below him, and his gaze finally fell on Kuang Qiu.
"Kuang Qiu, have you never noticed anything unusual in Zhending?" Emperor Jiancheng asked coldly.
Kuang Qiu was really troubled. Who could have thought that the eldest prince would do this?
It is impossible to let the Liang family stab Liang Zongwu in the back.
But the key is, there is no evidence!
And the Liang family acknowledged it!
Kuang Qiu stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to go to Zhending to search for clues related to the copper mine case, but all the clues point to the missing Qin Dadang. His life or death is currently unknown."
Emperor Jiancheng laughed angrily: "What a missing person! I hand this case over to you. If you don't get to the bottom of it in seven days, you will lose your official uniform and your head!"
After saying that, he stood up and left, his back revealing a solemn and murderous look!
"Withdraw from the court!" Cao Sisipei hurriedly chased after him!
…
When Liang Huanyu heard his grandfather calling him, he hurried to the study.
He pushed the door open with both hands and saw his father being slapped hard in the face.
My grandfather looked at me with a sharp and cold gaze, as if he was a mortal enemy standing opposite me.
"Grandfather?" Liang Huanyu slowly walked into the door and closed it, then asked carefully, "What happened?"
"How dare you ask? Did you ask your father to recommend Feng Xing as the prefect of Guancheng in the court? Who allowed you to do this?" Liang Zhongling usually did not lose his temper. Once he got angry, the whole government would be in fear for several days.
Liang Huanyu also grew up in this situation. His heart tightened: "It was my grandson who wanted someone to keep an eye on the Luo family..."
"Have I ever told you that the Luo family is not the most important? But what did you do? Now you have implicated your second uncle!" Liang Zhongling's forehead was full of wrinkles and his face was gloomy.
Liang Huanyu was a little confused, but soon learned from his father everything that happened in the court.
In his imagination, this kind of result had never happened.
When it actually happened, my mind went blank.
My eyes are blurred!
Liang Zhongling looked at the disappointing father and son, his eyes gleaming with sternness. "No matter what method you use, you must write a letter to Zongwu before the court..."
"Then...what next?" Liang Zongwen couldn't help but ask.
Liang Zhongling: "All evidence that can be destroyed must be destroyed. This is a critical moment. Everyone has their own responsibility!"
His voice was deep and powerful, every word was filled with anger, and he was like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Liang Zongwen and his son's hearts trembled.
Are you trying to get rid of the Liang family and let your second brother/uncle take the responsibility?
The two looked at each other, a flicker of fear in the father's eyes, but a flash of determination in the son's.
…
"Pei Shangling, it would be better if you took my head today than to close the case in seven days!" Kuang Qiu couldn't help but complain in Pei's house.
Pei Shangling sat upright in the first seat, slowly drank a cup of tea, the aftertaste was lingering, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My Lord Pei, can you tell me how to do this?" Kuang Qiu, who has always been steady, began to get impatient.
Pei Shangling slowly put down his teacup and said eight words: "Follow the steps and you will find the conclusion!"
Kuang Qiu:......
"Could you please stop being so sophisticated?"
"Kuang Qiu, you are becoming more and more impatient!" Pei Shangling said lightly.
"What time is it now? The sword is about to fall on my head." Kuang Qiu slammed the table, "I'm going to find the eldest prince. He is the one who caused this trouble, so he must give me a solution, otherwise..."
"Kuang Qiu!" Pei Shangling frowned: "When will you change your bad temper? Who are you talking to?"
Kuang Qiu sighed, "I've been forced into this situation. What can I possibly do to investigate the Liang family? What's the point of finding out? Besides, they're already prepared!"
Pei Shangling patted him on the shoulder and said, "Even if we are prepared, we will give His Majesty an explanation. Just investigate Liang Zongwu. In less than seven days, the Liang family will give you an explanation!"
It is clearly a serious crime punishable by immediate execution of nine generations of the clan, but Your Majesty is so confused!
No one can persuade him, if you do, you will lose your head!
Kuang Qiu suddenly realized: "The Liang family will..."
Pei Shangling nodded slowly: "His Majesty is just too angry, he won't really want your head. Just focus on investigating the case!"
Next, it’s a competition of who is faster.
…
When the news reached the city gate, Liang Zongwu had already been taken into custody.
Huaxiang Tower and Qiuchun Courtyard.
The blooming of various flowers is particularly spectacular in autumn, adding a touch of beauty to the increasingly fading scenery.
Mrs. Wang's mind was not on the prosperous scenery. When she heard footsteps outside the door, she immediately stood up.
Zhu Mingqing pushed the door open and saw Mrs. Wang smiling indifferently.
"Sister." A smile appeared on Mrs. Wang's round face.
There were only two people in the room, and they no longer spoke in secret.
"Sister." Zhu Mingqing called back affectionately.
Seeing her attitude, Madam Wang's mood gradually improved: "Sister, I'll be frank. My master went to celebrate the birthday of Prince Huai's old concubine some time ago. I heard that the court has made arrangements for the prefect."
Zhu Mingqing nodded slowly: "I heard about it too."
Mrs. Wang was anxious: "Then my master..."
Zhu Mingqing looked troubled. "We've done our best and left the rest to fate. We've done what we can and can only wait patiently. Besides, Lord Wang has just been promoted to Tongpan, so it's inevitable that he'll attract criticism."
"But..." Madam Wang was unwilling to give in. "Sister, I have an unwelcome request. Please listen to it first. If it doesn't work out, it's fine. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Zhu Mingqing pretended to listen attentively.
"Luo, can you help me?" Madam Wang opened her mouth, observing the other party without moving her eyes. "Of course, if it's difficult, just pretend that my sister never said this."
Zhu Mingqing looked like he was thinking.
Mrs. Wang felt there was hope and immediately added, "What I'm going to say next is not only what my master said, but also what our entire family means. The Luo and Wang families have been kind to us, and we will always remember that. As long as the Wang family remains in Guancheng, they will protect the Luo family."
Zhu Mingqing was silent for a long time. Just when Mrs. Wang was feeling uneasy, he opened his mouth and said, "I'll give it a try."
Mrs. Wang was beaming with joy. The Wang family had no background, and the only powerful family they knew was the demoted Luo family.
But they didn't think the Luo family would stay in Guancheng forever.
Life is a gamble, and this time, they bet on it!
Madam Wang told the good news to Wang Tongpan, who was feeling a bit complicated: "Maybe I won't be an official in this life. Even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. But if it does, we will be completely tied to the Luo family!"
Madam Wang glanced at him sideways, reached out and pinched his arm hard: "What? Even if it doesn't work out, you still want to ignore the Luo family?"
Wang Tongpan hurriedly begged for mercy: "It hurts, madam, please let go. You know that's not what I meant."
"Humph, I wouldn't even dare to leave you hanging!"
