Chapter 1073: All parties surge
When some people heard about Yin Huo's suicide, they would at most sigh with regret and then lament, "It's not easy for the Yin family to raise a child."
The prince was puzzled. "Why did Yin Huo commit suicide out of the blue?"
"I've checked and heard that it was Old Madam Yin who wanted to question the servant who served him personally, and the young master couldn't stop her, so he injured himself."
The prince frowned, "Old Madam Yin has always been obedient to her grandson, why would she question his servant?"
"This, I haven't found out."
The prince glanced at him and said, "Go check it out."
Minister Feng also found it very strange, but he did not send anyone to inquire secretly. Instead, he went to ask in person.
The Yin family is not that easy to investigate.
Not to mention that Yin Li was the Jingzhao Yin, even Madam Yin's housekeeper was always strict. Sending people to investigate would not only take a lot of time, but there was also the possibility that nothing would be found and the Yin family would find out instead, which would offend people.
No matter whose inner house is being peeped into, one would not feel good.
Old Madam Yin pondered for a moment before inviting Minister Feng to talk in the front hall. The two old foxes exchanged some words with each other, drank a cup of tea, and then Minister Feng left with his hands behind his back, feeling satisfied.
Old Madam Yin also decided not to attend any birthday celebrations.
She called the chief steward and said, "The people sent to the Third Prince don't need to be withdrawn. Select a few smart people from the manor, unfamiliar faces in the city, and have them investigate the King of Yizhou."
The chief steward was surprised, "King of Yizhou?"
What does this have to do with the King of Yizhou?
Madam Yin said coldly, "That's right. Go check him out and see if our Lord Shangshu's guess is correct."
Old Madam Yin felt a little uneasy. If it was just the Crown Prince and the Third Prince fighting, and they ended up using their Yin family as a scapegoat, it would be fine. She could just bite back and leave them alone, but they wouldn't be able to do anything to their Yin family.
But if the King of Yizhou is involved, then the water will be too muddy.
In troubled waters, fierce fish emerge. If the Yin family is caught in the water, they will be bitten by someone, or they will be eaten by everyone...
Madam Yin closed her eyes and whispered to the butler, "Has the master not sent back a letter yet?"
"According to the date, a letter should come back in two days to report that you are safe."
Madam Yin nodded and said, "When the letter comes back, bring it to me immediately. I have a letter to deliver to him. Tell the servant who delivered the letter not to rush back to report."
"yes."
After leaving, Minister Feng immediately returned to the Ministry of Justice and summoned a confidant, saying, "Take your men and quietly go to the back door of the Yin family, take this handwritten letter, and arrest the two men."
"this……"
"I've already mentioned this to the old lady of the Yin family, just go and ask for the person."
When the confidant heard that it was a pre-arranged agreement, he immediately agreed happily. He liked doing this kind of task the most because he didn't have to go forward and get scolded.
The King of Yizhou also heard about it. He knew it even faster and in more detail than the Crown Prince. He heard that Yin Huo had stabbed himself, and Zhou Man and the other two ran in and ran out safely.
Not only were the three of them not hurt at all, but the King of Yizhou was also very unhappy when he heard that Zhou Man would be the one to treat Yin Huo's illness in the future.
The King of Yizhou's confidant hurried in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, we've found out. Zhou Man, Bai Shan, and Bai Cheng are indeed from our Jiannan Province. Bai Shan's father, Bai Qi, was the magistrate of Qianshu County. He was credited with suppressing bandits, and that's why he was granted the privilege of studying in the capital."
The King of Yizhou turned around in surprise, "Who?"
The confidant paused for a moment and said, "Bai Qi, whose courtesy name is Zi Qi..."
"That's enough. I know him. How could a mere county magistrate's son be granted such privileges and enter the capital?"
"There are quite a few children who have been granted the imperial favor this time, and they are all descendants of officials above the seventh rank and below the fourth rank."
Because they were of the third rank, there was no need to issue a special summons. Basically, every family had one person who could be admitted to school through imperial grace. It was only because their official rank was low and they were officials from other places that they were not given a chance for various reasons.
The King of Yizhou pursed his lips and said, "Bai Shan? Go and investigate him, starting from the time he was born. Who else is in his family now? What has he done over the years? Investigate him thoroughly for me."
"But Bai Shan's family is in Longzhou..."
"Then let's go to Longzhou and investigate. Is it because you don't have enough people? Do you want me to send you a few people to assist you?"
"I dare not. We have enough people. I will send them right away..." After saying that, seeing that the King of Yizhou was in a bad mood, he could only bow and retreat.
As the confidant walked out, he was worried in his heart. It sounds good, but he can go to Longzhou to check. How long does it take to get from the capital to Longzhou?
Not to mention investigating things that happened more than ten years ago. After investigating Longzhou, they have to go to Mianzhou. These two places are not their territories. It will take at least two or three months to find out anything.
Adding the time spent on the road...
The confidant felt that instead of wasting manpower and time, it would be better to wait until they returned to Yizhou before investigating.
Besides, he’s just a young boy, what’s there to investigate?
But seeing that the prince was getting angrier and angrier, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
By the time the prince's men finally got a glimpse of the situation, the King of Yizhou's men were already on their way to Longzhou.
After the Yin family experienced such an incident, Old Madam Yin calmly reviewed everyone in the house and replaced many people.
It is very difficult for people outside to get information from the Yin family.
The three aunts of the Yin family still like to go back to their parents' home every few days. The people of King Yizhou and the Prince have thought about starting with the servants around them, but the strange thing is that their mouths are as stubborn as the servants in the Yin Mansion and they can't be pried open no matter what they do.
Those who were trying to inquire did not dare to reveal their whereabouts too much. Several times, they found that someone was following them secretly, and they had to work very hard to get rid of them.
Nothing was found, which made Sister Yin very angry. After sending the servants away and returning to her room, she couldn't help but twist her husband several times to vent her anger.
Brother-in-law Yin was pinched so hard that he screamed. Sister Yin was so angry that she slapped him several times and said in a low voice, "Why are you screaming? Don't I know whether you are using enough force or not?"
Brother-in-law Yin rubbed his arm and said, "It must be red. If you don't believe me, just look."
"A grown man, what's wrong with pinching you twice?"
Brother-in-law Yin felt wronged, "You got mad outside, and you took it out on me when you came back."
"Bullshit, who dares to make me angry outside?"
"Yes, yes, you didn't get angry. Then tell me why you pinched me?"
Sister Yin snorted coldly, but didn't tell him.
Brother-in-law Yin didn't care and whispered in her ear: "I heard that my younger brother wants to adopt a child from our family?"
Sister Yin glanced over and asked, "Who told you that?"
"No, didn't I go to the mansion with you to see my younger brother the other day? I heard the servants talking about it. Now my younger brother's doctor has changed, and the medicine has also changed, so I thought..."
QQ Reading seems to have blocked comments, not that I don’t want to say goodnight.
