Chapter 105: The Governor came so early?
The old doctor Bai explained everything in detail. Although there were some discrepancies in the details, the general direction was similar to what Qin Mingzhu had guessed.
Qin Mingzhu narrowed her eyes and felt that the person who caused her father to lose his legs was getting closer and closer to her.
"Think carefully about what the person who gave you the silver looks like. Can you draw it?"
Doctor Bai responded immediately, "The man is short and thin, looks to be in his thirties, has no beard, and speaks in a sharp voice. There's also a medium-sized black mole on the side of his nose."
He raised his hand and pointed at his nose.
Qin Mingzhu immediately looked at Uncle Chen.
"Uncle Chen, please send more people to find this person as much as possible."
It's like a line.
If we grab the thread from here and pull it a little bit, we can always pull out the real murderer.
Qin Mingzhu already knew why the old marquis of the Yan family was murdered, and now was a rare opportunity.
Moreover, Yan Fengxiao is about to go to the border to fight. Once he really sends troops out of the capital in a few days, it will be difficult to investigate the person behind the scenes.
In addition, this person is of noble status and must have close ties with the royal family. It is very likely that he can influence the outcome of the war at a critical moment. He is involved in the arms business and has stockpiled countless weapons over the years. If they are circulated to the Northern Frontier Kingdom, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?
"Lock him up first."
"Girl, you promised me before that as long as I tell you everything, you will let me go..."
Qin Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "I'm telling you the truth before I let you go. I'm not sure whether what you said is true or not. Stay here for now. I'll investigate it and then deal with you."
"you……"
The old doctor Bai's face turned red with anger.
But he didn't dare to say a word.
Being locked up temporarily is better than being beaten to death.
Uncle Chen sent someone to lock him in the woodshed and asked someone to keep an eye on him. Then, according to Qin Mingzhu's instructions, he went to the place where the old doctor Bai had been before to capture him.
This round trip would take at least three to five days. Qin Mingzhu did not wait quietly for news, but began to prepare another plan.
That is...
The Southern Yan Kingdom is about to go to war with the Northern Frontier. Normally, the atmosphere in the entire imperial city should be very tense in the next two days.
However, there were a few interesting things that happened, not big or small, but people talked about them with relish.
The first incident was that the younger son of Li, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and the older son of Zhang, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had a fight over the daughter of the Liu family, and Li's younger son had his legs broken.
The second incident was that Censor Hu's extramarital affair was exposed, and his wife wanted to divorce him with their children. He went to his father-in-law's house to apologize, but his father-in-law arranged for someone to beat him out of the house.
The third incident was more serious. Someone spread the rumor that the eldest son of the Minister of War did not look like him, but was very similar to his good brother General He. After the Minister of War Xu Yongchang got his wife drunk, he tricked her a little and found out that his wife had been cheating on him for thirty years.
As soon as this matter got out, the He family and the Xu family started fighting directly. Both of them knew martial arts, and it was said that the fight was so intense that one of them was bleeding and almost died.
Inside the Qin Mansion.
Qin Mingzhu sat on the chair, nibbling fruit slowly, listening to Chunhua telling her the exciting things that happened in the past two days as if they were jokes.
Qin Mingzhu tapped her finger on the table and said, "Not enough. These are just some minor personal matters. They won't escalate to the point of killing them."
Chunhua had been laughing for a long time, holding her stomach. Seeing her wife's serious face, she quickly said, "Madam, these officials in the capital are very concerned about their reputation. These few things are enough to make them drink a pot."
Qin Mingzhu said: "People tend to forget things. It may make them feel uncomfortable at first, but after a while, not many people will remember these things."
Chunhua scratched her head.
"So what should we do?"
Qin Mingzhu was also in deep thought.
So many funny things happened in the capital in a short period of time, naturally it was her who did it.
In fact, it is not difficult. As long as a few greedy and gossipy people are bribed, they can quickly spread all the secret gossips of the inner chamber that she has heard.
If it was just a rumor, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the key point is... everything she heard back then was true!
In fact, these were all discussed by the ladies in the harem as amusement after the incident. The details in them were restored quite realistically, and with some speculation, they were simply vivid.
So, of course Qin Mingzhu still remembers it.
Qin Mingzhu tapped the table with her fingertips, her eyes turning cold.
"Then let them really suffer..."
She pulled Chunhua to her side, then raised her chin slightly, letting her lower her head slightly to listen to her.
Chunhua nodded repeatedly, her eyes very serious: "I understand, madam."
All the ministers who were plotted against by Qin Mingzhu were in favor of peace with the Northern Frontier and had once stood in the same camp.
Although the methods she used were a bit insidious, they were surprisingly effective.
In the end, the instigation was successful, creating a rift between these ministers.
Then the next step will be much easier.
Since we have become enemies, it would be best to make them mortal enemies that can never be resolved.
These people all have leverage over each other and were once all on the same page. If they really have a feud that will last until one day or another, they will hurt each other and stage a big dog-eat-dog drama.
Chunhua just walked out of the door.
Suddenly I saw a figure walking towards me.
Seeing Yan Fengxiao, the little maidservant was no longer surprised. She immediately bowed and walked away.
Qin Mingzhu saw Yan Fengxiao entering the yard, and he looked more and more familiar with the place. She couldn't help but bend her eyes, and her eyes as bright as crescent moons reflected the tall figure of the man.
"Why did the governor come so early today?"
Don’t you always sneak into the general’s mansion in the middle of the night when no one is around?
She had already given orders in the mansion not to let the servants stop Yan Fengxiao, so he walked in as if he were in an empty house.
Yan Fengxiao was obviously in a good mood. He looked at her gently, then placed the small bag in his hand beside Qin Mingzhu.
"I bought you some peach blossom cake on the way."
Qin Mingzhu quickly opened the bag and smelled it.
In addition to making it herself, she likes the dim sum from the shop in the east of the city, but the shop is too far away. She is too lazy to go there on weekdays, and only occasionally asks the servants in the mansion to buy some for her.
There were three roads and eighteen bends between her house and the shop. Which direction should she take...
"Thank you, Governor. I won't be polite."
Yan Fengxiao sat on the stone pier next to Qin Mingzhu and said, "You were the one who caused all the uproar in the capital these past two days."
His tone was very calm, not a question, but rather a statement of fact.
Qin Mingzhu stopped eating and swallowed the peach blossom cake in her mouth.
"Yes, it's me."
Yan Fengxiao suddenly raised his thin lips slowly, and his sharp eyebrows became softer at this moment.
"Next time, tell me before you do it."
Qin Mingzhu blinked, looking puzzled.
Yan Fengxiao continued, "I was too busy before and didn't have time to deal with them. Please give me some advice, and I will take action myself when I am free."
Qin Mingzhu understood what Yan Fengxiao meant. Seeing those people in trouble, he felt itchy and wanted to personally deal with them.
She thought about it and nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that there is something that I need the governor's help with..."
As soon as she finished saying this, Uncle Chen walked in with several guards from the mansion.
His expression was very solemn. Seeing that Governor Yan was also there, he immediately led his men to pay their respects and then handed a portrait to Qin Mingzhu: "Madam, the person you were looking for has been found..."
