Liu Zhongxue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father calm down.
He leaned forward and said: "Last night, three brothers, Tao, had accidents one after another. My son felt that the matter was too strange, so he sent Liu Xin to investigate."
Liu Xiang stared at Liu Zhongxue, waiting for him to continue.
Liu Zhongxue looked at Liu Xiang and then said: "This morning, Liu Xin came back to report that the carriages of Brother Tao and his three brothers had been tampered with."
"Bang!" Liu Xiang slammed his hand on the table and said sternly: "Have you found any clues? Who did it?"
Liu Zhongxue shook his head and said: "The other party's methods are extremely clever. We still don't know who did it! Liu Xin is still investigating."
Liu Xiang fell back and sat down, frowning, twirling his beard with his hand and thinking hard, "The method is very clever, who could have done it?
People from the East Palace? The East Palace side wouldn't take action so early.
Except for the people in the East Palace, who else can be so clever?"
Liu Xiang looked at Liu Zhongxue, and both father and son said at the same time: "Shi Jingyang!"
After saying that, Liu Xiangxian shook his head in the negative, "Shi Jingyang has not yet taken over Weiyuan Hou Mansion. He has limited manpower at hand, so it should not be him."
Liu Zhongxue asked: "But, if it wasn't him, who could it be? Our people just attacked Ning Yu, and something happened in the family immediately. There must be a connection!"
Liu Xiang thought for a while and said: "Forget it, now is not the time to pursue this matter. Think about it first, how to clean up the current mess?"
Liu Zhongxue asked: "How about we call Jin Rui back? Jin Rui is very resourceful, let him come up with ideas."
Liu Xiang shook his head, "No, Jinrui just went back this morning. There will be a military exercise soon. The military exercise is a big event. Let him prepare for the military exercise in peace and quiet. Let's not disturb him."
"Yes!" Liu Zhongxue nodded, and then said: "Today's matter has caused such a big fuss, the emperor must know about it, I wonder what the emperor will do?
Also, I wonder how many people will read my brother's book tomorrow morning? Has father thought of a countermeasure?"
Liu Xiang sighed heavily, thinking about the scene he would face tomorrow, feeling angry and annoyed.
He said angrily: "That shameful thing is simply an evil obstacle.
Such a shameful thing, to be caught and exposed... I really want to beat him to death."
Liu Zhongxue advised: "What will happen even if my father beats his brother to death? Now I can only try to make amends."
Liu Xiang sighed and said: "His ugliness is exposed in front of the public. Even if I want to excuse him, I can't do anything. You say he..."
Liu Zhongxue took over the words soothingly, "Father, don't be angry, the matter has come to this, and being angry will not help.
Let a few staff come over and let's all think about it together and do our best to minimize the damage."
Liu Xiang thought for a while and said: "You are right, let everyone come over and think of ideas together. Come here!"
The servant came in in response, bowed to Liu Xiang and said, "What are your orders, Prime Minister?"
Liu Xiang said: "Go and invite Mr. Zhong and others over."
After receiving the order, the servant bowed and left.
’
"Prime Minister, Second Master, Nanshan, who is beside Wei Gang, would like to see you." The servant came over and reported.
Wei Gang is the commander of the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion.
Liu Xiang and Liu Zhongxue looked at each other quickly and hurriedly said to the servant: "Please."
The servants retreated, and after a while, Nanshan was brought in.
After the two of them met in Nanshan Dynasty, they said to Liu Zhongxue: "Master Liu, the prince has invited me to send you a message."
Liu Zhongxue looked at Prime Minister Liu, "Father, you discuss matters first, and my son will go to the palace."
Liu Xiang waved his hand towards Liu Zhongxue and said: "You go to see the prince first, and we will discuss other matters later."
Liu Zhongxue bowed to Liu Xiang to say goodbye, and then went to Prince Chen's Mansion with Nanshan.
On the second floor of the Big Bowl Tea House opposite Prime Minister Liu's Mansion, Shi Jingyang stood by the window, looking at Prime Minister Liu's Mansion opposite.
Qing Ping reported: "Sir, last night, Hu Rui took Guiliang and the others to break a leg of Liu Jintao and Liu Jinjiang, an arm of Liu Jinhe, and broke two ribs."
It seems that Xiao Nizi knows about Liu Xiangfu's attack on Ning Yu.
Shi Jingyang asked: "Has the tail been cleaned?"
"It was handled very cleanly. There were suspicions on the Prime Minister's side, but no clues were found," Qingping said.
"Sir, Deputy Privy Liu followed Nanshan beside Wei Gang out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and headed towards Prince Chen's Mansion. What should we do next?" Qingshan came in and bowed to report.
Shi Jingyang withdrew his gaze from the retreating carriage and said, "Watch it first to see what happens in the morning tomorrow, and then make plans."
Qingshan bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."
After saying that, Qingshan hesitated and said: "Master, there are still two quarters of an hour to close the city gate. Do we still want to leave the city?"
Shi Jingyang walked out and said as he walked: "You should go back early tomorrow and ask for leave for me. I will go back the day after tomorrow. Go to Sanpinxuan."
Qingshan turned around, picked up the bamboo hat, and hurriedly followed, "Yes, I understand. Sir, it's your bamboo hat."
Shi Jingyang stopped, took the bamboo hat from Qingshan and put it on.
The master and servant took out a large bowl of tea, and Qingshan went to pull the horse. Shi Jingyang turned around and saw Wei Yuan and Wan Ping coming out of the house while talking.
Qingping followed Shi Jingyang's gaze, understood, and turned his back.
Shi Jingyang stretched out his hand to pull the bamboo hat and turned his back. When Wei Yuan and Wan Ping got into the car and left, Shi Jingyang turned around.
Qingping looked at Wei Yuan and Wanping's car and said, "Why is Uncle Wei here? Miss Ning asked him to inquire about things? Where are Ruoqing and Ruoyu? Why not let them inquire?"
Shi Jingyang didn't answer. Seeing Qingshan leading the horse over, he walked over, took the reins, and got on the horse, "We'll talk when we get back."
The three masters and servants rode to Sanpinxuan.
Jiang Min received the letter and went to the backyard.
After the ceremony, Jiang Min asked, "Has the prince had dinner?"
Shi Jingyang said: "Don't worry about me, I'm going out in a while to get some food for Qingshan Qingping. Ask someone to prepare water, and I want to wash up and change clothes."
Jiang Min turned around and went out to give instructions, and then returned to the house.
Shi Jingyang saw him and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Jiang Min leaned forward and said, "Yes, we have some clues about what the prince ordered last time."
Shi Jingyang was about to reach out to serve tea, but paused with his hand in the air, then looked up at Jiang Min, "Tell me, what's your eyebrows?"
Jiang Min said: "I visited several surviving elderly people in the Chengguo Palace. One of them, an old woman named Liu Sanniang, was once a maid in the yard of my wife's biological mother."
"Mother's biological mother?" Shi Jingyang straightened up and looked at Jiang Min and asked.
Jiang Min responded: "Yes, the Duke's wife is not my biological mother. My biological mother is someone else."
Sure enough, his grandmother's attitude towards his mother made him suspicious, but the truth still made him a little hard to believe.
Shi Jingyang said: "So, my mother's biological mother is the concubine of Duke Chengguo?"
But for someone as powerful as Mrs. Cui, how could she allow Duke Chengguo to take concubines?"
