The maid who had been waiting outside the door saw Yu Qizhe come out, and hurriedly bowed and followed him to the study, where she repeated to Yu Qizhe the conversation between Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhoushi in the room.
After hearing this, Yu Qizhe's expression did not change. He just said calmly, "Go and have a rest."
After the maid left, Song Nian came in and said, "The Third Young Master sent a message to me from his clerk, saying that he wanted to check the account books and stopped at the shop on Qingyu Street."
Yu Qizhe lowered his head and looked at the files without saying a word.
Song Nian stepped forward and poured him a cup of hot tea. He told him in detail how the second and fourth young masters broke into the study and touched the pipa on the table, without adding any exaggeration.
Yu Qizhe raised his head, his eyes dark, "Watch closely from behind. Those two are not allowed to approach the study without my permission."
Song Nian's expression was stern, "Yes."
That night, at the home of Wei Minzhong, the Minister of Dali Temple.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wei Minzhong respectfully welcomed him into the study and bowed, "Your Highness, are you here late at night for Zhai Huaiying?"
Zhu Yu left the palace late at night to avoid being seen. He wore a black hood and black clothes. After he sat down in the room, he took off his hood, with anger on his face: "Didn't you suppress Zhai Huaiying's case a long time ago? How did the complaint fall into Yu Qizhe's hands?"
Wei Minzhong's expression tightened, and he explained, "It's not that I didn't do anything. The Qu family's complaint was originally handled by Yang Xu. When Your Highness gave the order, Yang Xu destroyed the complaint. I don't know how Yu Qizhe knew about this case and where he got the complaint."
Zhu Yu said angrily, "You don't know? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? Yu Qizhe is just a newcomer to the Dali Temple. He said he wanted to try the case, so you let him try it? Can't you suppress him?"
Wei Minzhong looked helpless and worried, "I tried to stop him and secretly instructed the people in the Dali Temple not to listen to Yu Qizhe's orders. Who knew he would go to the palace and said something to His Majesty. He actually brought back His Majesty's handwritten order. His Majesty also asked the Jinyiwei to obey his orders. The new commander of the Jinyiwei is his fellow apprentice. Now I have no way to intervene in this case. I asked my men to find out that Yu Qizhe has obtained evidence from the Qu family."
After hearing this, Zhu Yu's face became even more solemn, and he cursed fiercely: "That damn Yu Qizhe! I think he is deliberately trying to go against me!"
Wei Minzhong sighed heavily, "The most important thing right now is how to get Zhai Huaiying out of this case. In my opinion, this person may not be saved. Your Highness should make the decision as soon as possible."
Zhu Yu frowned and said angrily, "How can it be that easy?" Over the years, Zhai Huaiying had given him a lot of money. This man was very thief and he might have kept account books. If Yu Qizhe found Zhengtong Bank...
Zhu Xun's face became increasingly gloomy. Ever since Xue Rong became pregnant, he had become increasingly unpopular in front of his father. Now that he was exposed to be involved in the salt and silver business in Jiangnan and to have accepted bribes from Zhai Huaiying, he was afraid that his position as crown prince would be over.
It was a summer night, but Zhu Yu's back was covered with cold sweat. A ruthless look flashed across his eyes: "Send someone to Huai'an to kill Zhai Huaiying. Don't let him enter the capital."
Only when this person dies can all things be resolved.
Wei Minzhong's eyebrows jumped. He had originally guessed that Zhai Huaiying acted too recklessly in Huai'an, and the prince had always protected him. It seemed that this man had indeed done many shameful things for the prince.
"I'll have someone do it right away." Wei Minzhong said.
Zhu Yu stood up, walked up to him, and squeezed Wei Minzhong's shoulder hard: "If this matter is not handled well, not only will I have a hard time, but none of you will have a good life either!"
Wei Minzhong quickly assured: "I will do my best to make Zhai Huaiying disappear from the scene."
Zhu Yu snorted coldly and left the Wei Mansion.
Wei Minzhong sent the people away and sat in the hall in a daze. What happened today made him regret more and more that he should not have defected to Zhu Yu so early. The fate of Yang Xu and Zhai Huaiying was right in front of him.
After sitting there for a while, Wei Minzhong called the housekeeper and told him to arrange for someone to go to Huai'an immediately and make sure to kill Zhai Huaiying before the Dali Temple arrested him.
