Chapter 66: Hypocritical Wei Qingyan
"You...you...you..." Yu Zhengde was so scared that he was incoherent and couldn't even say a complete sentence after hearing the word "you" several times.
He looked at his old father and saw that he was also pale and looked shocked.
If it wasn't my father who said that, then who told Miss Chang?
Wei Qingyan curled his lips, "Minister Yu, when my master was walking among the people, he was called a charlatan. Naturally, the disciple of a charlatan also has some charlatan skills.
After Concubine Li faked her death and left the palace, she stayed in the backyard of your Yu Mansion for three years and gave birth to a daughter for you before leaving the capital. That daughter is the third lady of your mansion.
I thought Minister Yu was so bold that he even dared to keep the emperor's woman as a concubine in the backyard. This is nothing to you."
It doesn't matter.
I'm going to say yours is nothing!
Yu Zhengde glared at Wei Qingyan fiercely, but his heart was churning with turmoil. This secret had been kept for so many years, and even his father only found out a few years ago. How did Miss Chang know about it?
Unable to figure it out, he looked at his father for help, "She means that she is a disciple of a charlatan and a fortune teller, and she knew about this matter by relying on the tricks of ghosts and gods?"
Yu Liangzhi wasn't sure either, but he nodded, "That should be it."
This matter has been on his mind for many years, and he was afraid that one day it would be known to others.
But there is no wall that is impenetrable, and Liu He still discovered the clue.
Although Liu He did not know that Concubine Li was raised in the backyard by her son and had given birth to a daughter, she knew that Concubine Li faked her death and left the palace with the help of her son.
The fact that a minister was involved with a woman in the harem was enough to put Yu Fu in great trouble. If the emperor investigated further, how could he conceal what his son had done?
No one in the Yu family will survive.
This was the real reason why he insisted on looking for Wei Qingyan.
Decades ago, Yilian saved his Yu family. Decades later, he met Yilian's apprentice. He felt that this was a way of survival pointed out by God for the Yu family.
Yu Zhengde didn't know what his father was thinking. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked Wei Qingyan, "Do you know that the queen is from the Xie family? That's the emperor's maternal family! It's the empress dowager's family.
Do you know that the Emperor asked the Xie family and the Crown Prince to investigate the Huangshaling incident because he didn't want to investigate it thoroughly? How many heads do I, Yu Zhengde, have to go against the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Xie family? How can I possibly win?
"Then does Lord Yu have any way out?"
Wei Qingyan looked at him quietly.
"Liu He clearly has the Queen behind her, so why would she ask you for help? Isn't it to divert everyone's attention, or are you the scapegoat chosen by the Queen?
And he was the scapegoat chosen three years ago."
This sentence seemed to hit the Yu family father and son on the head.
Yu Zhengde blinked mechanically, and then blinked again.
yes.
Why does Liu He need her to save him?
If the matter continues to escalate, Liu He will not be able to escape punishment, and he will not be able to save him.
If things had stopped there, Liu He wouldn't need her to save her, but she asked him for help when everyone was watching the matter. Wasn't she telling everyone that the person behind her, Liu He, was Yu Zhengde?
Wu Yuchu was able to become the Jiedushi of Ganzhou just a few years after entering the officialdom. It was obvious that someone was working behind the scenes. That person was most likely the queen. Then, when he was transferred back to the capital, why would she need him, the Minister of Revenue, to help speak for her?
Liu He gave him silver to prevent the matter from being exposed and to find someone to take the blame for his master in advance.
He felt guilty towards her for breaking off the engagement, and he thought she was considerate, but it turned out that she had been plotting against him deep down.
You bastard, I’ll fuck your ancestors for eight generations.
Yu Zhengde cursed in his heart, and then he heard Wei Qingyan say solemnly, "I promise you that I will try my best not to implicate the Yu Mansion.
I will make Liu He convinced that the Queen will kill her. You are the only one she can trust. As long as she wants her children to be alive, she will not reveal your affairs.
As for the emperor, after you met Liu He, you brought the ten thousand taels into the palace to apologize and admit that you had accepted her money to speak well of Wu Yuchu.
I will let the world know that your ten thousand taels are not the silver of the Beiling people."
According to Nanny Chen's instructions, the 50,000 taels of silver sent by the people of Beiling all had the Beiling mark. The Wu couple had made a lot of money from the people over the years and were not short of money.
So the 50,000 taels were neither used nor melted down to be remade in a hurry, but were hidden in a small courtyard in the capital.
After she came out of the temple last night, she went to check and found that the silver was indeed there. Now Dongzang and his men were secretly guarding the yard.
As long as Yu Zhengde meets Mrs. Wu, she will make the silver known to the world.
"Then my son can say that he went to see Liu He because she threatened him." Yu Liangzhi continued, "Accepting bribes will at most result in demotion and a fine."
As long as there are people, there is hope.
Moreover, through the murder of the National Defense General, he felt that it might not be a bad thing for his son to retire at this time.
Yu Zhengde could also figure out the key. As Wei Qingyan said, he really had no way out now and could only fight with Wei Qingyan.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but Miss Chang, you have to promise me that if you keep this to yourself, it won't be enough.
You have to promise that you are a witch and use your witchcraft powers to ensure that this matter will never be exposed to the world."
Yu Zhengde acted like a rogue out of spite. He was a Minister of Revenue, but he was being controlled by a woman, which made him very unhappy.
Wei Qingyan smiled, "I can promise that I will never betray you."
When Shi Yu investigated the matter of Concubine Shu, he found out that Madam Wu's real master was the Queen. Madam Wu was able to discover that Concubine Li had faked her death, so did she tell the Queen about this?
She was able to reveal through Nanny Chen that Yu Zhengde helped Concubine Li fake her death and leave the palace, combined with the fact that Yu Zhengde loved his concubine's daughter more than his legitimate daughter, as well as some resentful scenes she saw in Yu's mansion that day.
It is not impossible for others to guess that Miss Yu San is the daughter of Concubine Li and Yu Zhengde.
Apart from this, how many people know this secret, or will Concubine Li, who is now away from Beijing, be recognized?
Wei Qingyan couldn't guarantee it.
Yu Zhengde also knew that he was acting like a rogue, and when he met Wei Qingyan's cold eyes, for some reason, he felt inexplicably frightened and did not dare to go any further.
When he thought of the woman who had fought for her freedom and was now living a carefree life somewhere unknown, leaving him in fear in Beijing, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Women in this world are really not to be messed with, that one is right, and the one in front of me is also right.
He glanced at Yu Liangzhi with a look that they, as father and son, could understand, and complained, "Father, I thought this girl knew my secret and would threaten me like Liu He did, right?"
Yu Liangzhi covered his mouth with his hand to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up. It had been many years since he had seen his son look like he was about to cry.
Now that he had spoken out the things that had been weighing on his mind and had found a solution, he felt much more relieved. He then asked, "Young lady, why did you ask Madam Wu to identify the Queen? Do you want the truth about the Huangshaling incident to be revealed to the world?"
Wei Qingyan still said the same thing, "This is Wei Qingyan's obsession. I am the extradition officer, and it is my duty to redress the injustice of the deceased."
"Hypocrisy." Yu Zhengde muttered in a low voice.
He spoke so righteously, but I don't know what benefit he got from General Wei's ghost.
Yu Zhengde had already decided in his heart that Wei Qingyan was a man who would not do anything without profit.
Wei Qingyan just didn't want to explain any further, so he ended the topic there.
Yu Liangzhi glared at his son, and then told Wei Qingyan about his half-brother's resentment, "My father imprisoned my half-brother back then, but it was actually for protection.
He ruined the prince's plan, so how could the prince let him go? He locked him up at home, but for the sake of the Yu Mansion, he didn't dare to come to the mansion to kill people.
Later, it was because he got stuck in a rut and had a paranoid temper that my father didn't dare let him pursue a career in government, and instead allowed him to be an idler. But financially, my brothers and I never treated him unfairly."
Wei Qingyan believed that if the Yu family really treated his half-brother badly, he would not live to old age.
Recalling something, she asked, "Did the Yu family become disappointed with the previous dynasty because of the incident with Old Madam Gong, and secretly surrender to the late emperor?"
"That's right." Yu Liangzhi nodded, with no intention of hiding anything.
"As far as I know, the late emperor started the uprising in the south, and my family is in the capital. But the person who introduced me to the emperor was my master?"
Wei Qingyan didn't know why he asked this question, but he felt that it was related to the fat monk.
