Chapter 119 Playing the long game to catch the big fish
Author: Juechen Yanke
After arranging all the matters, Ye Chengguan returned to the temporary guest house at Jiangfang Station. He wrote a letter in his own hand and handed it to the book boy. He said in a deep voice: "Ting'an, take my letter and go to invite the inspector immediately."
Please come here according to the censor and Mr. Yan."
"Could it be that you can't trust the people in the inspection department?"
Ting An looked suspicious.
"After all, the Inspection Department obeys His Majesty's orders. If this matter really involves His Highness Prince Yun, I'm afraid His Majesty will not take action against Prince Yun."
Ye Chengguan could not make decisions for the emperor, but he had to make plans for Hua Rujin.
I made a desperate move today and pointed my sword at Admiral Jiang Fang in exchange for an opportunity to reverse the situation. This is really disrespectful. Once he is impeached and removed, it is a sure thing.
"Since you can't trust the Inspection Department, why did you hand Wen Yuming over to them?"
Ting'an was even more puzzled.
"You are really a piece of rotten wood."
Ye Chengguan scolded angrily: "Since you can't completely overthrow King Yun, why not do something to offend Long Wei? It is the duty of an official to find out the case, but how to make a decision is always his Majesty's business.
"
After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, King Yun has been forming cliques in the court for many years, and his party members are all over the government and the public. How can this old incident shake him? Only by letting him take the initiative to reveal more tricks can he be completely brought down.
.”
Thinking of the deaths of Liu Cheng and Tu Hong, he vaguely realized that the two of them were probably inseparable from this matter.
If the emperor had to plant the seeds of doubt, having the inspection department do it would be much more effective than doing it himself.
Ting'an still had only a partial understanding of what he said: "I understand what the young master said. I'm afraid that even if this matter is related to King Yun, there will always be a scapegoat willing to take the blame for King Yun. But since the young master doesn't intend to have anything to do with King Yun,
Why call the censor and Mr. Yan to come here if you are so angry?"
These two were both close friends of the young master when he was a student.
"The Inspection Department and the Inspection Prefecture are both emperor's envoys appointed by His Majesty. The matter in Jiang'an County should be thoroughly investigated by them and reported to the imperial court."
Ye Chengguan said.
This way, the emperor would not listen to the report from the inspection department.
"As for Mr. Yan."
Thinking of Yan Huaqing, who was famous among the four major litigants in Jiangling City, Ye Chengguan did not inform Ting An of his plans and urged him to go out immediately.
After explaining the matter to Ting'an, he learned that Hua Rujin was still sleeping, so he went to the Chujiang Temple in person.
At this time, in the temple, Wei Shuhan had urged Liu Yan to release all the women and children who were being held for sacrifice and handed them over to their families.
Seeing Cheng Nini again, before Ye Chengkuan could speak to her, the little girl knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and kowtowed to him to thank him.
"You don't have to thank me. If it hadn't been for your beautiful sister who turned the tide and found out the whole story, I might have been helpless."
Ye Chengguan helped her up and warned her softly: "Quickly go and see your sister from the Hua family, and I will send someone to take you back to the Weng family."
Na Nizi went through all kinds of hardships to finally rescue this little girl. She must be the one she wants to see the most when she wakes up.
Cheng Nini thought she had lost her life this time, but she never thought that Sister Hua would rescue her again. What she wanted to see most at the moment was her eldest sister, but how could she dare to say what was on her mind in front of the No. 1 Scholar?
Thinking of this, I had to secretly tug at the corner of Wei Shuhan's clothes.
Wei Shuhan understood and waved his hand towards Ye Chengguan: "You don't have to worry about Ni Ni. You are really stupid for handing Wen Yuming over to the inspection department. It seems that the number one scholar is nothing more than that and not bold enough."
When it comes to challenging the emperor, you can be regarded as knowing some practical things, but you are much smarter than that stinky girl."
After all, he once assisted Grandfather Taizu, and he also knows very well about his descendants. Although His Majesty is a decisive and accomplished king, he can't eat his own children. Even if King Yun is cruel and unethical, the emperor will still
He would not kill his own son to give an account to the dead souls.
What's more, Prince Yun is still the son of Concubine Xue, so he can only get a few scoldings or a moderate punishment at most.
After being scolded by Wei Shuhan's sinister tone and comparing himself with his beloved disciple, Ye Chengkui had a bitter look on his face. It was not clear whether he was praising or criticizing himself, so he had to bite the bullet and reply.
road:
"Uncle, I was joking. This junior has just arrived, so he naturally has to worry about many things."
"You're right to think so. I can guess the deep meaning of your master's old guy asking you to come to Jiangling City. It's true that we can't scare the snake at this time. This matter is indeed the best explanation until Wen Yuming
.”
Wei Shuhan warned, then impatiently urged: "Go quickly, don't let Wen Yuming become the next Liu Cheng again, Tuhong doesn't know it yet."
"Junior, take your leave."
Ye Chengguan bowed his hands respectfully and left in a hurry.
After he left, Wei Shuhan led Cheng Nini and Shu Jinxuan to the barracks of the Jiangfang Army.
Hua Rujin woke up from her sleep, and as soon as she sat up, she saw Cheng Nini rushing towards her with tears in her eyes.
The little girl hugged herself tightly and kept crying, which made Hua Rujin not know whether to be happy or sad at this time.
She stroked Ni Ni's hair with a stiff expression and comforted her softly: "It's all over. Don't be afraid. Your wicked uncle is also in prison. No one will dare to bully you and your aunt's family in the future."
After a long time, seeing that the little girl was still choking, Hua Rujin had no choice but to raise her eyes to look at Wei Shuhan and asked: "Master, did Mrs. Zhou and Young Master Weng Xian not come to the temple?"
"It's here."
Wei Shuhan sighed helplessly: "But this girl Nini doesn't want to go back to the Weng family."
"Why is this?"
Hua Rujin looked confused: "I think Mrs. Zhou really cares about Nini. There is nothing wrong with staying in the Weng family and being with Weng Xian."
"Ahem, let's talk about this later."
Wei Shuhan could certainly see what Ni Ni was thinking.
The apprentice risked his life several times to rescue her, and the little girl was probably determined to stay with the apprentice.
Hua Rujin really didn't care about such a trivial matter at this time. She had rescued the person anyway. Even if Ni Ni wanted to stay with her, it was just to open her mouth to eat, but it was not as difficult as before.
After all, I still made some money by visiting Jiang'an County.
On the contrary, Ye Chengguan was pointing his sword at Admiral Jiang today, which made her a little uneasy.
"How is Mr. Ye? Can you find out everything about the situation at the bottom of the river?"
She looked at Wei Shuhan and Shu Jinxuan and asked impatiently.
Listening to these words, Ruya's cousin felt a little sour in his heart, and replied in a lukewarm tone: "Now all the yamen are at the disposal of the magistrate, and Wen Yuming has also been handed over to the inspection department. I believe that a final conclusion will be made in the next few days.
.”
"Is Mr. Ye having other plans for handing Wen Yuming over to the inspection department?"
Hua Rujin smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Wei Shuhan slowly sat down at the coffee table beside him, poured a cup of tea, and replied: "Wen Yuming is the old man who followed King Yun when he proposed Jing Xiang. If this matter really involves King Yun,
Wen Yuming will definitely be willing to be the scapegoat."
"I'm afraid that King Yun won't be relieved."
Thinking of Liu Cheng and Tu Hong's death, Hua Rujin finally had an idea: "Since Wen Yuming is already a dead chess piece, it would be better to let his death be more valuable."
