Looking at the letter, Zhang Mingtu's mouth twitched.
He was very familiar with the letter because he was the one who sent it, but he never thought that Ruihai would receive it only now.
But it's normal to think about it. When he sent the letter, the situation in Xingguo County was almost clear, and Ruihai had almost rectified Xingguo County.
Ruihai also reported the corresponding situation in Jianyi. At that time, Ruihai may have secretly rushed to Jianyi.
Well, so the Longmen Escort Agency might have had a wasted trip to Xingguo County, and after a lot of twists and turns, they sent the letter back to Jianyi.
"I hope you can help me investigate who is poisoning my wife."
As Zhang Mingtu listened, his expression became more and more strange.
This is really just finding something to do for yourself.
Originally, this matter should not have been done by him, but by someone else or Ruihai himself. After all, the previous future brothers did not intervene in this matter.
However, because he changed his mind after returning and investigated the situation in Jianyi so thoroughly, he was highly valued when he reported to Ruihai.
The work was done so well that it earned the attention of Ruihai and even an invitation, which is why Ruihai shared such confidential information with Zhang Mingtu.
He also took the initiative to ask Zhang Mingtu to investigate. This must be because Zhang Mingtu had done an excellent job as the Jinyiwei before, and his household registration and land inventory registration activities were done very well.
Therefore, Ruihai felt that Zhang Mingtu was a top-notch intelligence expert in this regard.
Although he knew the whole thing, Zhang Mingzu pretended to know nothing.
"Is there something wrong with your wife? She's not even pregnant yet, yet you've already discovered she's been poisoned?"
"I wonder what level of investigation you want me to go? Are you trying to catch the mastermind behind this?"
Zhang Mingtu asked about the relevant situation carefully before opening his mouth to inquire.
His performance was so meticulous and serious, showing the style and work attitude of a Jinyiwei leader.
In fact, Zhang Mingtu already had the answer in his mind as to who the mastermind behind the scenes was. The reason he made such a gesture was mainly to go through the process and strengthen his personal image.
After all, in Ruihai's eyes, he is a good hand of the Jinyiwei and his intelligence work is very outstanding.
When talking about work, Ruihai's expression became serious.
"I also thought it was an accident before. The other party's methods were very sophisticated and very covert. Since it was my family's affair, I didn't put much effort into investigating..."
Not only did they not mobilize any resources to investigate, Ruihai also clearly distinguished between public and private affairs.
He never used any official power to deal with family affairs. His sons always died young, and no one in the family said anything. However, there were always rumors outside the home, and his mother also nagged him every day, which made him quite uncomfortable at home.
His mother was influenced by traditional ideas and must have a son as an heir. Ruihai's ideas were not so strict, but he had always been filial and his mother's status in the family was the first.
I often get scolded when I get home.
I previously thought it was an accident, that it was because I was too poor, which led to my wife staying up late frequently and my child being malnourished and then dying.
Now that he knew someone was plotting against him, Ruihai looked quite serious.
"The main thing is to find out who's behind this. He's wary of me, and I think he has some issues of his own. If I can rid the people of this area of harm, then the spirit of my deceased son can also be comforted..."
If anyone else said this, Zhang Mingtu would definitely think it was a retaliation against political opponents, but since Ruihai said this, Zhang Mingtu felt that it was sincere and heartfelt.
However, even though you have a clear idea in your mind, you still have to make the task as difficult as possible before accepting it. This is the way to be an official. Otherwise, the task will be completed easily, and your superiors will not think that you are capable.
This was the experience Zhang Mingtu had gained through years of hard work and the efforts of many future brothers. Therefore, after Ruihai finished speaking, Zhang Mingtu also looked serious.
"I'm afraid this will be quite difficult. The art of witchcraft suffered a huge impact after the witchcraft rebellion, and all inheritance was basically cut off."
"How to deal with the poisonous insects is still unknown. Now that the witchcraft technique that has been lost for hundreds of years has reappeared and appeared on Madam, it is difficult to judge, let alone catch the mastermind behind it..."
"To be honest, sir, I'm not even sure I can keep the baby in your womb..."
Zhang Mingtu's original intention was to brag about the difficulty of the task so that he could show off his abilities later, and at the same time he could take it easy afterwards, after all, this matter was easy to handle.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ruihai's expression became even more serious.
"If possible, the priority is to find the mastermind behind this..."
Zhang Mingtu was shocked when he heard this.
After a closer look, Rui Hai was still wearing his official uniform, and he became more and more uncertain.
Rui Hai then explained it more clearly.
"The mastermind behind this is so terrified of me that he's willing to make me childless. He must have a lot of connections. Through these connections, we might be able to catch a large number of people..."
"I think they must be the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan. In Jiangnan, the wealthy gentry who can do such things are definitely rich and unkind. If we can find as many of them as possible, I don't know how much benefit we will gain..."
"...As for my son, I've also heard about the incident in Jianyi's Infant Tower. It's not just in Jianyi, but also happened before in Xingguo County. The sons of the people under my rule were born healthy, but they were abandoned in the Infant Tower and starved to death. It's my fault."
Hearing this, Zhang Mingtu already knew what Ruihai was going to say next and was silent for a moment.
"If their son can die, why can't my son?"
"Besides, my son might not die. It's just a risk. If their sons can die, why should my son take a risk?"
"If we can use this to bring down a group of tycoons, it will benefit the whole area. I will stand up for my wife and son. If they are arrested and taken to another place, there will be an explanation in the official eyes..."
Ruihai is very organized in his work and life. Zhang Mingtu had only heard about it before, but now after listening to Ruihai's detailed account, he also felt that Ruihai was extremely meticulous in his work, and was even more shocked.
Zhang Mingtu is willing to help people in need as long as he does not harm himself, but he absolutely cannot risk his own death or the death of his relatives and family members to save others.
Ruihai can do it.
As if afraid that Zhang Mingtu wouldn't believe it, Ruihai made it clear directly.
"Just do it. I believe in your ability. Even if my son dies because of this, I won't blame you. That's my mistake, definitely not yours. This decision is mine."
Ruihai looked serious and extremely solemn, but Zhang Mingtu felt a little ashamed when meeting Ruihai's gaze. He was playing tricks and wanted to gain more recognition.
Ruihai really entrusted the fate of his wife, son and many other people to him.
