It wasn't just these few people who noticed this. It was because Prince Jing behaved too abnormally that day and aroused suspicion.
Su Juan mentioned this matter to Shen Ruhui and chatted for a while. She guessed that maybe Prince Jing had some involvement with the case of the Ministry of Justice that he was assisting in, and he didn't want others to know.
But what exactly it was, is unknown.
Seeing how concerned the two were, Xie Xun suggested, "If you want to know, just sneak into the Ministry of Justice and find out."
Su Juan's forehead twitched.
Shen Ruhui smiled but said nothing.
[Does Xie Xun know that every word he said is on the verge of death? ]
[Sneak into the Ministry of Justice to look at the files. It's amazing that he could think of that.]
Su Juan held her forehead with her hand and was speechless for a long time, especially when she saw Xie Xun's serious expression, as if what she had proposed was a very good suggestion.
Xie Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with him. All he had to do was sneak into the Ministry of Justice.
Shen Ruhui asked him, "Brother Xie, how do you think we can infiltrate the Ministry of Justice?"
The warehouse where the Ministry of Justice keeps files is guarded day and night, and no matter how serious the crime is, it is a question whether one can sneak in.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xun said seriously, "Fly in."
Shen Ruhui: "..."
This is something that a scholar like him who has no martial arts skills cannot understand.
Su Juan then remembered, "Yes, I had forgotten that Xie Xun is very skilled, especially in Qinggong, and he can come and go without a trace."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows, a look of pride on his face. "Of course not. Although I am not good at writing, but when it comes to these skills, no one in the whole capital can compare to me except Commander Yan of the Imperial Guards."
[Too careless. Xie Xun does have the ability to sneak in. ]
Xie Xun curled his lips and was about to volunteer to go and see it on behalf of Su Juan and the others.
The next moment, Su Juan's voice sounded again, "But with his brain, even if he went in, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out what those files were about."
Xie Xun: “…” So annoying.
Su Juan looked at Shen Ruhui and said, "Maybe I am overthinking this matter. Let's not talk about it for now. Have you arranged everything on your side?"
Shen Ruhui nodded, "Everything has been arranged, just waiting for them to join the game... Miss, do you want to confirm it yourself?"
Afraid that Su Juan didn't trust him, he suggested that Su Juan go with him to meet those people to ensure that things in a few days could be implemented smoothly.
Xie Xun then looked at Shen Ruhui, "?"
What's the arrangement?
Su Juan smiled and shook her head, "No need, I will be relieved if you do the work."
[I, Su Juan, have always been a person who doesn’t employ people I doubt, and who I employ, I don’t doubt. ]
Xie Xun: “???” What are you worried about?
Seeing the two of them smiling at each other, with a tacit understanding, Xie Xun couldn't stand it, his forehead twitched, "No, what did you two arrange?"
We are all in the same boat. Why don't you tell me about this?
Xie Xun felt that he had almost never missed any time when Su Juan and Shen Ruhui were together, but why did it seem like there were still a lot of things between the two of them that he didn't know about?
I'm trying so hard to integrate with you, can't you feel it?
Su Juan looked puzzled: "?"
【I don’t understand.】
Xie Xun: “?”
[Did Xie Xun lose his brain when he was born? 】
Xie Xun: You are the one who has lost your mind, your whole family has lost their minds!
[We haven't avoided talking to Xie Xun during this period, right? Why does he seem to have just arrived and doesn't know anything? ]
Xie Xun: “…”
The two of you talked as if the door was locked, and it was as if you didn't hear anything. Can you blame me for this?
Believing in the idea of asking if one does not understand, Xie Xun did ask everything, but at this moment, he did not want to ask because it would hurt his self-esteem.
It was Shen Ruhui who answered Xie Xun's questions and said, "We mentioned it a few days ago. The full moon banquet for the youngest son of the Li family will be held in two days."
Xie Xun nodded, "I remember this, it's the Li family whose son was beaten to death by someone on horseback and then committed suicide."
Her son had just died a year ago, and now she had a new baby boy. She was going to hold a big full-month banquet, and the Duke’s Mansion had also received an invitation.
[Yes, yes, it’s the Li family of Lord Li who cried and threatened to hang himself in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, and shouted in front of the old emperor that he didn’t want to live anymore if his son died.]
Xie Xun looked at Shen Ruhui and Su Juan again, his eyes suspicious: This Lord Li is too troublesome, he can't even try to win over this person, right?
As soon as the two saw Xie Xun's expression, they knew that he must have misunderstood.
"This Lord Li is one of the vice-ministers of the Zhongzheng Assessment this time. There must be many high-ranking officials and guests coming to the Li family's full-month banquet. This is the best time to cause trouble."
Su Juan nodded, "Now that the evaluation has been completed, the appointment is the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel. Lord Li's full moon banquet is held at the right time."
【Let's make some noise. With so many guests, it's hard not to make a big scene. 】
[Once the matter becomes serious, even if no one reports it to the emperor, the old emperor will find out sooner or later.]
Shen Ruhui nodded, "This is the opportunity we talked about before."
Xie Xun was confused, "Then how are you going to make a big fuss?"
Su Juan smiled, "The concubine who gave birth to Lord Li's son was originally the mistress of a local prefecture official. In order to give his son a good future, he gave her to Lord Li. The son of that prefect is among those being appointed by the Ministry of Personnel this time."
Xie Xun was shocked. "This is too outrageous! Is Lord Li willing to do this?!"
"The concubine is beautiful and can write poetry, so Lord Li is naturally happy. He has been doting on her for a while, and she gave birth to a precious son. As soon as the evaluation was completed, he was eager to hold a full-month banquet."
Su Juan smiled, "People who can't stand loneliness are most likely to make mistakes."
[Many people knew about this matter. They asked the concubine's hometown people to make a fuss. It would cost some money, so naturally some people would be happy to do so.]
Xie Xun finally understood now, "So you guys are going to use this full moon party of the Li family to make a big fuss about the problems with Zhongzheng Assessment so that everyone knows about it?"
Once the matter gets out of hand, the censor will have to make a memorial to the emperor and make a thorough investigation of the 18 deputy ministers. No matter who is doing something wrong, it will be impossible to hide it.
The Ministry of Personnel's appointment of officials will also be stopped. In this way, neither the King of Han nor Song Qianfan will gain any benefits.
Su Juan nodded, picked up the tea bowl and took two sips of tea, "In fact, it is not difficult to make a big deal out of this matter, it just lacks a good opportunity. Shen Ruhui spent some time to find someone in Li's house to persuade him. Although the beautiful concubine can recite poems and write, she is stupid and was instigated by a few words. With the help of the pillow talk, Lord Li will naturally hold a big full moon banquet."
After Su Juan explained this, Xie Xun finally understood everything. But he thought about it and felt something was wrong. "No, you didn't say this before, did you?"
Could it be that these two people are communicating with each other behind my back?
Su Juan and Shen Ruhui looked at each other, and Shen Ruhui smiled, "Miss Su is smart and understood it immediately. I didn't say much."
Xie Xun was angry: Just call me stupid!
Su Juan looked at Xie Xun, shook her head and sighed, "Although the son of the Xie family is beautiful, he is really stupid."
Xie Xun: “…” There’s no need to really say it.
