Looking at the letter, the corners of Zhang Mingtu's mouth twitched.
He was very familiar with that letter because he was the one who sent it, but he never expected that Ruihai would only receive it now.
But it's normal to think about it. When he sent the letter, the situation in Xingguo County was almost clear, and Ruihai had almost completely improved Xingguo County.
Rui Hai also reported the corresponding situation in Jian Yi. By then Rui Hai might have secretly rushed to Jian Yi.
Well, so the Longmen Escort Bureau may have made an empty trip to Xingguo County, and then went around and sent this letter to Jianyi again.
"I hope you can help me investigate who is poisoning my wife."
Zhang Mingtu looked more and more weird as he listened.
This is really about finding things to do for yourself.
Originally, it was not him who should have taken action in this matter, but someone else or Ruihai himself. After all, none of the previous future brothers had intervened in this matter.
But because he changed his mind after returning, he investigated the situation related to Jianyi very clearly, and received great attention when he reported it to Ruihai.
He did a good job and got Rui Hai's attention and even an invitation. That's why Rui Hai shared such confidential information with Zhang Mingtu.
He also took the initiative to ask Zhang Mingtu to investigate. It must be because Zhang Mingtu had done so good a job at Jinyiwei before, including doing household registration surveys and property inventory registration activities.
Therefore, Rui Hai felt that Zhang Mingtu was a first-class intelligence expert in this regard.
Although they were well aware of the whole matter, the Zhang Ming clan still pretended not to know anything.
"Is there any problem with your wife? She is found to be poisonous even before she is pregnant?"
"I wonder to what extent you want me to conduct an investigation? Is it to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, or?"
Zhang Mingtu asked about the corresponding situation carefully before asking.
His performance was meticulous and serious, bringing out all the demeanor and work attitude of the Jinyiwei leader.
In fact, Zhang Mingtu already had the answer in his mind as to who was behind the scenes. The reason why he made such a gesture was mainly to go through the process and strengthen his character.
After all, in Rui Hai's eyes, he is Jin Yiwei's best man, and his intelligence work is quite top-notch.
When talking about work, Ruihai couldn't help but look serious.
"I thought it was an accident before. The other party's methods were very clever and very hidden. It was a family matter in my family, so I didn't use a lot of force to investigate..."
Not only did they not use any force to investigate, Ruihai was very clear about public and private matters.
He did not use any official power at all to deal with matters at home. His son always died in infancy, and no one at home said anything, but there were always rumors outside the home, and his mother was nagging him every day, causing him to be confused at home.
Quite uncomfortable.
His mother was influenced by the traditional concept that she must have a son as her descendant. Ruihai's concept was not so strict, but he had always been filial, and his mother's status in the family was first.
I was often nagged harshly when I got home.
I used to think it was an accident, and I thought it was because I was too poor, which caused my wife to stay up late often, and the child to be malnourished and then die.
Now that he knew that someone was plotting against him behind his back, Rui Hai looked quite serious.
"The main thing is to investigate the mastermind behind this. He is afraid of me. I think he will have some problems. If he can use this to eliminate me for the people of this place, then the spirit of the son who died in heaven can also be comforted..."
If other people said such things, Zhang Mingtu would definitely think that it would be retaliation against his political opponents. However, Rui Hai said these words, so Zhang Mingtu felt that these words were sincere.
However, although you know what you are doing, you still have to make the task as difficult as possible before accepting it. This is the way to be an official. Otherwise, the task will be completed easily, and your superiors will not think that your ability is outstanding.
This was Zhang Mingtu's years of wasted experience and the experience gained by many future brothers. Therefore, after Rui Hai finished speaking, Zhang Mingtu looked equally serious.
"I'm afraid this matter is quite difficult. The art of witchcraft and Gu was greatly impacted after the Witchcraft Rebellion, and all inheritance was basically cut off."
"There is no conclusion yet on how to deal with the poisonous insects. Nowadays, the art of witchcraft and poisonous insects that has been lost for hundreds of years has reappeared, and it has also appeared on the lady. It is difficult to judge, let alone catch the mastermind behind the scenes..."
"To tell you the truth, I don't even have much confidence in keeping the child in Madam's belly..."
Zhang Mingtu’s original intention was to brag about the difficulty of the task, so that he could show off his abilities later and also have a good time fishing in the future. After all, this matter is easy to handle.
Unexpectedly, Ruihai's expression became more serious after hearing this.
"If possible, the most important thing is to find the mastermind..."
Zhang Mingtu was shocked when he heard this.
After taking a closer look, Ruihai was still wearing official uniform, and he became increasingly unsure.
And Rui Hai said it more clearly next.
"The person behind the scenes is so afraid of me and wants to make me childless at all costs. He must have many connections. Through this connection, he may be able to catch a large number of people..."
"In my opinion, they should be the tycoons from the Jiangnan area. In the Jiangnan area, the tycoons who can do such things are definitely rich and ruthless. If we can find out how many of them, we will benefit a lot..."
"...As for my son, I have also heard about the baby tower in Jianyi, not only in Jianyi, but also before Xingguo County. Under my rule, the son was born healthy, but he was abandoned in the baby tower. It is my crime to starve to death."
Hearing this, Zhang Mingtu already knew what Rui Hai was going to say next, and was a little silent for a moment.
"Their sons can die, so what can't my son do?"
"Besides, my son may not necessarily die, it's just a risk. Their sons can die, so what's the harm in my son taking a risk?"
"If I can use this to bring down a group of wealthy gentry, it will be a blessing to the whole place. I will stand up for my wife and son and arrest them in other places. There will be an official explanation..."
Zhang Mingtu had only heard that Rui Hai was very organized in his work, but now that he listened to Rui Hai's details, he felt that Rui Hai was very thorough in his work, which shocked his heart even more.
Zhang Mingtu is willing to help people in difficulty that he sees in front of him without harming himself, but he can never risk his own death or let his relatives risk death to save others.
Ruihai can do it.
As if he was afraid that Zhang Mingtu wouldn't believe it, Ruihai made it clear.
"Let it go. I believe in your ability. Even if my son dies because of this, I will not blame you. It was my mistake, definitely not yours. This decision was made by me."
Rui Hai's expression was serious and extremely serious, but facing Rui Hai's gaze, Zhang Mingtu felt a little ashamed. He was playing tricks and wanted to get more recognition.
And Rui Hai really entrusted the fate of his wife, son, and many other people to him.
