Chapter 91 Self-rescue and self-examination
"Minister Song, since you keep asking this question, I wouldn't dare to deceive the emperor even if I had the courage," Yang Jin explained quickly.
Minister of Rites Ruan Anhe pulled Yang Jin aside and asked, "Brother Yang, please give me some advice."
"The Ministry of War beat twenty-one people to death yesterday." Yang Jin said calmly.
After finishing speaking, he bowed to the few people and said:
"Please forgive me, my superiors, but our Ministry of War is currently in a turbulent time.
Minister Fan is injured, so I have to rush back as soon as possible to take charge of the situation, so I won’t talk much more.
If you have any questions, you can ask Lao Yu first."
After saying that, he bowed and said goodbye.
Several people turned around and surrounded Yu Huaian, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked him questions.
In the next few days, all six departments were busy investigating the spies.
Under the instructions of the Ministry of War, the sound of beatings could be heard every day in the offices of various ministries.
The Duke of Zhenguo also sent people to Jiangnan Road to investigate the Chen family in detail.
After this period of trouble, Gao Hongchen also got news about Li Yueyao and Feng Shenyu.
"No wonder Feng Shenyu saw through the scheme he set up at Wanhua Tower last time. It turns out the person he was looking for was Li Yueyao."
Gao Hongchen said to the national teacher Taoist Qingyu.
Taoist Qingyu stroked his beard and said, "If that's the case, then it saves us a lot of trouble.
Anyway, I have already thought of a way to deal with them.
We haven't had time to take action yet, and so many things have happened recently that he will be busy for a while.
It just so happens that the person who was newly assigned to the Ministry of Revenue hasn't made any movement yet, so he won't be affected by this incident."
Gao Hongchen didn't say anything after hearing this, but rubbed the corners of his eyes.
"Master, my left eye has been twitching recently. What's the cause?"
Taoist Qingyu laughed and said, "If your left eye twitches, it means good fortune; if your right eye twitches, it means disaster. This means you are going to get rich."
Gao Hongchen laughed and said, "Haha, really? Where does this wealth come from?"
"Of course the money comes from the Ministry of Revenue and the Chen family in Jiangnan."
Gao Hongchen was happy to hear this, as his recent wealth really came from these two aspects.
"I called you here today for the Royal Flower Viewing Banquet for the Dragon Boat Festival."
Taoist Qingyu nodded after hearing this.
"The eldest prince has extended an olive branch to me, wishing to marry Huan'er. What does the Imperial Master think of this?"
Taoist Master Qingyu calculated with his fingers in an inscrutable manner and said, "Spreading out the bets is the best strategy."
Gao Hongchen nodded and said, "I think so too. The eldest prince is the eldest son and has reached adulthood. Perhaps we can give it a try."
"Do you need me to do anything?"
“You don’t need to worry about the affairs of the eldest prince and Huan’er.
Concubine Shu wanted the Second Prince to marry the legitimate daughter of the Zhenguo Palace, but you intervened to ruin the plan.
The fortune-telling says that the Yu family girl and the eldest prince are a perfect match."
Qing Yu listened and said, "Well, what if the eldest prince gets the help of the Duke of Zhenguo and turns against us in the end?"
“No, I want to break the alliance between the Second Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo and muddy the waters.
If I can't get a share of this military power, then I'll completely dissolve it so no one can get it."
Taoist Qingyu nodded.
Feng Shenyu still lives in Li Yueyao's house and refuses to leave.
Some time ago, there were assassinations and explosions. These days, everyone has been busy investigating spies everywhere and has lost a lot of weight.
Seeing that things were going smoothly and the only thing left was to plan to catch the thief's ringleader, Li Yueyao and Feng Shenyu were finally able to take a break and rest well for two days at home.
After Chen Yue woke up, he found that his leg was broken, but he still couldn't sit still every day, and walked back and forth with a crutch.
Yu Zhan was in a more miserable situation. He had broken ribs and could only rest in bed.
Yan Xin took people to carry Yu Zhan back to the house, and then stayed behind to serve him.
Then he discovered that the food at the Grand Princess's mansion was indeed better than that at his own mansion.
I often go to Cui Xin to ask for cooking advice.
Cui Xin was very happy that someone finally tasted her new product.
Nanny Qin forced Feng Shenyu to live in the courtyard next to Li Yueyao and refused to let him live in Li Yueyao's bedroom.
Feng Shenyu of course disagreed and insisted on staying.
Nanny Qin said she would go to the palace to tell His Majesty. Feng Shenyu was willing, but Li Yueyao was not.
He ordered people to move Fengshenyu's things away.
Feng Shenyu stood at the door and knocked: "Your Highness, Your Highness, open the door..."
After calling for a long time and seeing no one open the door, he turned around and left with a resentful look on his face, and snorted coldly when he passed by Nanny Qin.
But what kind of person is Nanny Qin!
He was someone who had served two queens and had long been immune to this kind of cold air.
Still bowing, he said, "Farewell, Right Prime Minister."
After Feng Shenyu returned, he looked at the cold room. Without the scent of gardenia, he felt unwell.
I couldn't sleep for a long time at night.
Li Yueyao slept well as usual all night.
The next morning, Feng Shenyu got up early, practiced martial arts in the yard, and then took the time to return to his mansion.
As soon as I came back, I saw someone sitting in the flower hall. It was none other than Prince Shou'an Li Huaiyu.
When Li Huaiyu saw Feng Shenyu, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Alas, I've been here several times, and Yantai always said you weren't there. I figured you must have gone to my aunt's.
I asked around and found out you were living there."
As he spoke, he walked over and bumped Fengshenyu with his shoulder:
"Okay, it's progressing pretty fast. They've already entered the house and are now a couple."
Feng Shenyu ignored him and went to the study.
Li Huaiyu followed in and said as he walked, "Hey, I have something important to talk to you about."
"What's the serious matter? Tell me." Feng Shenyu said coldly.
"Last time you said that the painting hanging in your study was leaked, do you still remember?"
"Well, how did you find out?"
"My concubine Chunniang is the adopted daughter of my wife's wet nurse.
Following this clue, I found out that Chunniang is not a goddaughter at all, but the biological daughter of my wife's wet nurse."
Feng Shenyu heard this and asked in a cold tone, "So, it's the Gusu Wang family?"
"No, listen to me. After careful investigation, I found that there was something fishy about my wife's wet nurse.
When she was young, she fell in love with her cousin and gave birth to a daughter, who became my concubine Chunniang.
Later, his cousin and his family moved to Yuchao."
Feng Shenyu frowned and asked, "So?"
"So I suspect she's a spy. Recently, the court has been investigating spies everywhere, and my grandfather is also investigating spies in his mansion.
I found out about this, but since it's related to you, I wanted to ask you how to handle this matter first."
Feng Shenyu heard this and shouted outside, "Inkstone."
Yan Tai came in and bowed, "My dear."
"How's the investigation going with our spies?"
Feng Shenyu was not at home during this period, so Yantai went through the house from top to bottom and found out several other people's spies.
Only two useful people were left alive, and the rest were killed.
Yan Tai had just killed someone and the evil spirit on his body had not yet subsided. When he passed by the courtyard and saw Yu Zhan lying under a tree, he walked over and sat down.
Seeing Yan Tai's decisiveness, Yu Zhan smiled and said, "Well, it's been years since I've seen you look so unhappy."
Yan Tai glared at him without saying anything.
Now, when Feng Shenyu asked, he replied seriously: "I didn't kill the two useful ones, but I killed the rest."
Li Huaiyu listened thoughtfully: "Is this a long-term plan to catch a big fish?"
"Yeah." Yan Tai replied.
Li Huaiyu listened and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's find someone to keep an eye on them first and see who the nanny's boss is."
Feng Shenyu nodded after hearing this.
After Li Huaiyu finished talking about the serious matters, he asked Feng Shenyu in a mean way:
"Hey, Ice Face, why are you back today?
Could it be that I wasn't serving my aunt well enough and was kicked out?"
Feng Shenyu was unhappy because he was driven to sleep in the next yard last night. When he heard Li Huaiyu ask this, his face immediately became darker.
Li Huaiyu was surprised when he saw this: "Did I guess it right?"
