Chapter 39 Finding Another Way

"Why do you say that?" Xia Zhengqi

's expression froze. "After I found these letters, I flipped through them hastily. I found that there was no letter from the Minister of War Liu Hong." The prince said in a low voice.

Xia Zhengqi pondered for a moment and said, "The Jiang family couldn't find any letters from Liu Hong. Either Liu Hong is not a member of the Jiang Party, or Liu Hong is too cunning."

[Humph, this Minister of War Liu Hong is naturally a die-hard member of the Jiang Party, but he is too experienced.]

Xia Miaoyuan complained while pulling her socks.

[He was born in a humble family and finally climbed to the position of Minister step by step. Naturally, he acted cautiously. 】

【This man never completely trusts anyone. Even after he joined the Jiang family, he always thinks about protecting himself. 】

【He rarely uses letters to communicate with the father and son of the Jiang family. Even if he writes, he uses a special ink. The words written with this ink will fade over time and disappear after 3 months. 】

Xia Zhengqi and the prince's eyes lit up for a moment: there is such an ink.

"Father, in my opinion, the latter possibility is more likely." The prince deliberately said to remind Xia Zhengqi.

Xia Zhengqi nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

【Haha, it seems that the IQs of Daddy and Prince Da Guoguo are very online! 】

【With you here, our Great Xia still has hope! 】

Xia Miaoyuan had already pulled off her socks at this time, and was playing with her feet with her two chubby hands with great interest.

Xia Zhengqi couldn't help but curl his lips: My precious daughter is praising me, hahaha. As expected of my daughter, she has good taste.

The prince was very proud to hear this complaint, and was afraid that Xia Zhengqi would notice, so he hurriedly said: "Father, what should we do next?"

"If we can't find evidence that Liu Hong colluded with the Jiang family, should we let him go?"

[Father! You can't let him go, you must not let Liu Hong go! ]

Xia Miaoyuan babbled anxiously twice, and in a hurry, he stretched one of his chubby feet to Xia Zhengqi's face. He couldn't control it for a moment, and kicked Xia Zhengqi on the chin.

Instantly, Xia Zhengqi, who had been serious, looked embarrassed.

Eunuch Debao covered his mouth and almost burst out laughing.

[Oh, sorry, Emperor Daddy, Miao'er didn't mean it!]

[Oh, it's really annoying. After being reincarnated as a baby, I can't control my hands and feet at all!]

[You broken hands, don't play with your feet anymore! I'll beat you, beat you, beat you! You're not allowed to play with your feet!]

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes widened, and she slapped her right hand with her left hand.

Since Xia Miaoyuan became a baby in the book, although her self-awareness is that of an adult woman in the 21st century, her body is still that of a baby.

Many times, her body is uncontrollably making baby-like movements.

Xia Miaoyuan often feels distressed by this.

"We finally set up a trap to catch them all, so we can't let them go easily!" Xia Zhengqi said seriously.

[Yeah, the emperor is wise!]

Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts were pulled back again.

[What's there to worry about if you can't find the correspondence? Go ask other ministers to collect evidence of Liu Hong's crimes.]

[Go find Liu Hong's mortal enemy!]

Xia Zhengqi and the prince's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Chengwan, don't mess around, let's go find evidence of Liu Hong's crimes."

[Go find Wei Sanchuan, the Minister of Rites Wei Sanchuan!]

Xia Miaoyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Xia Zhengqi's beard, babbling, as if he was trying to say something.

[Wei Sanchuan and Liu Hong have a grudge!]

Minister of Rites Wei Sanchuan?

Xia Zhengqi was shocked when he heard this.

Isn't Wei Sanchuan Liu Hong's elder brother-in-law? The two are relatives, how could they have a grudge?

He remembered that 15 years ago, Liu Hong won the top spot in the imperial examination and rode a horse in the streets of Beijing, enjoying great glory.

At that time, the old man of the Wei family fell in love with Liu Hong at first sight.

Not long after, the Wei family married their eldest daughter, Wei Sanchuan's sister, to Liu Hong.

Wei Sanchuan became Liu Hong's elder brother-in-law, and Wei Sanchuan's father, Wei Han, the then university scholar, became Liu Hong's father-in-law.

So Xia Zhengqi always thought that the Wei family and Liu Hong had a close relationship.

How could such a good relationship become a feud?

While Xia Zhengqi was concentrating on his daughter's thoughts, he covered up by saying, "Prince, please help me think about whether there are any political enemies of Liu Hong in the court."

The prince pretended to be thinking carefully, but in fact he was also paying attention to his sister's thoughts: "Liu Hong is usually kind and has a good relationship with most officials."

"Besides, he holds military power and is the minister. Even if an official has an opinion about him, he will not show it."

[Go find Wei Sanchuan quickly!]

Xia Miaoyuan was so anxious that his two little fat feet kicked in the air.

[Liu Hong poisoned his first wife Wei Yuer for his future.]

What?

Liu Hong actually did such a vicious thing? !

Xia Zhengqi was stunned.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Hong has always been a role model of loving his wife.

Four years ago, when his first wife passed away, he was so sad that he was bedridden and even took a two-month leave and could not attend court.

For this reason, Xia Zhengqi personally visited him and sent him a lot of supplements.

At that time, both the court and the people were rumored to be a role model of a good man.

After hearing Liu Hong's story, countless women shed moving tears and said that if they met a good man like Liu, it would be worth it even if they died young.

Later, relatives and colleagues repeatedly persuaded him to remarry, and he married a new bride two years later.

Such a good man who loves his wife actually poisoned his wife with his own hands? !

【After Wei Yuer's death, the Wei family became suspicious of Liu Hong, but they had no evidence.】

【Later, Liu Hong took refuge with Master Jiang and gradually became indifferent to the Wei family.】

【The old man of the Wei family, as well as Wei Sanchuan, were usually ashamed to associate with the Jiang family. Seeing that Liu Hong took refuge with the Jiang family, they hated Liu Hong even more.】

【In this way, Liu Hong and the Wei family went from being relatives to being enemies. However, Liu Hong and Wei Sanchuan were both people who cared about appearances, so they didn't show it on the surface.】

Xia Miaoyuan recalled the contents of the book, staring into the distance with a pair of big eyes.

Xia Zhengqi and the prince suddenly realized what was going on when they heard this.

"Cheng Wan, what do you think of the Wei family? The Wei family of Wei Sanchuan, the Minister of Rites? That is, the family of Liu Hong's first wife." Xia Zhengqi looked at the prince.

The prince was startled and suddenly came to his senses. He did not expect that his father was so well-informed and knew about the feud between the Wei family and Liu Hong.

"I think we can find out more about Wei Sanchuan and test his attitude."

"I heard that since Liu Hong's first wife passed away and he remarried, the Wei family has had complaints about Liu Hong. The relationship between the two families has also cooled down." The prince quickly found an excuse to guide Xia Zhengqi to pay attention to the Wei family.

Xia Zhengqi curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's go to the Wei family to find out."
