In the flower hall of the Wei Mansion, Zhu Yu's face was gloomy, and he angrily said to Wei Minzhong: "Didn't I ask you to send someone to kill Zhai Huaiying? How did he get into the capital?"
Wei Minzhong's face turned pale. He didn't know what was going on. The people sent to Huai'an clearly said that Zhai Huaiying had been killed, but who would have thought that Yu Qizhe had turned into a living person and secretly let the Jinyiwei bring Zhai Huaiying back to the capital.
"I interrogated the people who were sent to kill Zhai Huaiying last night. They were not bribed. They killed Zhai Huaiying in Huai'an with their own hands." Wei Minzhong said solemnly, "There must be something fishy going on."
Zhu Yu looked impatient. Now he was no longer concerned about why Zhai Huaiying did not die in Huai'an. Instead, now that he had entered Beijing, the most urgent task was to deal with Zhai Huaiying.
He said with a sinister look on his face: "Zhai Huaiying was taken back to the Ministry of Justice by Yu Qizhe for interrogation. Why didn't you arrange for someone to kill him to silence him, but instead asked him to give out the accounts? I don't care what means you use, just make him shut up and die!" Zhu Yu had no idea that Zhai Huaiying had secretly kept a private account. If he had known that Zhai Huaiying had kept another trick up his sleeve, he would have been able to make another preparation earlier and would not be so passive now.
Wei Minzhong really didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore. He had already seen that Crown Prince Zhu Chui was not capable of being a wise ruler. Furthermore, a large amount of silver and money was involved in Zhai Huaiying's account book. If Yu Qizhe got to the bottom of it, it would be hard to say whether Zhu Chui could keep his position as Crown Prince.
"I am incompetent. Zhai Huaiying is not imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. He has been imprisoned in the Zhaoyu of the Jinyiwei since he came to Beijing. He is personally detained by Lu Jin, the commander of the Jinyiwei. I really cannot reach into the Zhaoyu." Wei Minzhong evaded.
Zhu Yu's face turned cold, and he stared at Wei Minzhong gloomily, "Are you trying to stay out of this?"
Wei Minzhong sighed and said helplessly, "I really have no other choice. Yu Qizhe is not to be underestimated. He is thorough and leaves no room for error. He is also favored by the emperor. I really cannot intervene in this case. Your Highness should find Gao Jian. He is the commander of the Pacification Division. If he is willing to intervene, there may be room for maneuver."
Zhu Yu was upset and surprised. Gao Jian was Cheng Ying's man, so how could he obey his orders? But he had to give it a try. He couldn't just wait for Zhai Huaiying to confess him.
Zhu Yu glanced at Wei Minzhong, still angry at him in his heart. If Wei Minzhong had not failed to get things done and killed Zhai Huaiying in Huai'an, there would not have been such a mess now.
He smiled sinisterly: "I remember that you have a daughter who is very kind and gentle, and she is about the same age as me. Speaking of which, my position as concubine is still vacant, and I think your daughter is just the right person."
Wei Minzhong's face suddenly changed. He stood up and knelt on the ground, sweat dripping down his forehead. "My daughter is naughty and has no manners. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is so handsome and graceful. My daughter is really not worthy of Your Highness. Please think twice."
Seeing him avoiding him like this, Zhu Yu became even more angry and sneered, "Oh? I think it's very suitable, or does Lord Wei think that being my concubine would be unfair to your daughter?"
"I have absolutely no such intention." Wei Minzhong felt hatred and fear in his heart, and said in a panic: "My wife dotes on my daughter very much. She has been letting her practice martial arts since she was young, and has not taught her to play chess, calligraphy, or painting. She has been spoiled to the point of not knowing etiquette. I am afraid that she will offend Your Highness."
Zhu Yu snorted coldly and said slowly: "It's okay, I don't care about these. I will ask my father for an order to grant us marriage in a few days. Lord Wei can take this opportunity to teach her some etiquette!"
After saying that, Zhu Yu left leisurely, and Wei Minzhong slumped on the ground with a grim look on his face.
"Father." Wei Min jumped in from the window and went forward to help Wei Minzhong up.
Wei Minzhong came back to his senses and didn't care about Wei Min hiding outside the window and eavesdropping. He looked at her face and said with pity: "Did you hear everything?"
Wei Min nodded slightly, his face unable to hide his disgust: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly despicable. As the crown prince, he has a corrupt character and even instigated my father to kill people for him. How can he be the future monarch?"
Wei Minzhong quickly rebuked her: "Be careful with your words! How can you say such a thing? Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Wei Min said with an unhappy look on her face: "Does father really want to send me to be his concubine?"
