Helan Ruizhe said, "I told you not to pursue this matter openly, but to pay attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion's movements privately, especially who Tang Ruozhi has been interacting with recently."
"Then do we not need to investigate the Prime Minister's Mansion in depth?" Yuan Jing was still unwilling to let go of this fat fish, the Prime Minister's Mansion. Prime Minister Tang had enormous influence in the court and the country, and it was a big taboo for the court to have important officials dominating the country.
