Lin Chong took a case file and handed it to him to see, it was the one he had sketched just now.
Ren Zanhua took it over and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be stunned. He knew exactly what it meant, but the Ministry of Justice had already forgotten this old case. He didn't expect that as the king of a country who has many things to do, he would be willing to do so.
Spending so much time on these trivial old things.
Lin Chong was indeed tired. He had been reading the files for many days in a row. It was very difficult to guess the densely packed traditional Chinese characters. He really couldn't find the joy of reading crime novels even with the trivial things. He was light-hearted.
He gently rubbed his temples, but felt a full sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Ren Zanhua was very excited. He seemed to see the sunrise of the Ming Dynasty in this new king. He carefully read every word in the dossier, including every annotation written next to it by the emperor.
Wei Dezao came to court because he found that His Majesty seemed to pay a lot of unexpected attention to him recently. Wen He had a close relationship with Wen Tiren, and Wu He had a good relationship with Wu Sangui. He had always been confident that the emperor would not do anything to him. But now the situation has changed.
, after Wu Sangui left, His Majesty's attitude towards him seemed to have turned 180°. He was indifferent, lukewarm.
He also knew in his heart that the emperor could not be indifferent to the close relationship between him and Wu Sangui, but such indifference should not be his reaction. But what is strange is Wen Tiren's attitude towards him
He seemed a little lukewarm, without the warmth and greetings he imagined. On the contrary, Ren Zanhua, who had never interacted with each other before and could even be called an opponent, came over to say hello to him.
Wei Dezao was surprised, but on the surface he still responded politely.
This simple interaction between them has changed in Wen Tiren's eyes. When did they become such good friends? Wei Dezao didn't even come over to explain to him. No, it's completely wrong.
If what happened before can be said to be just a coincidence, or the servant went too far, then how can we explain what happened today?
He began to believe in his heart that maybe Wei Dezao really wanted to replace him. And the stubborn Ren Zanhua was pulled by him. What trump card did he have?
Wei Dezao also had some objections to Wen Tiren. He had gone to the palace before, and his words seemed to reveal a reproach. Thinking about it carefully, he had not done anything to offend him. Now he just had a small talk with other ministers in the court.
After saying a few words, he looked at himself as if he was hiding a knife. It had only been a few days, what happened?
Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning, and weird things happened one after another.
Since the beginning of the war, Wei Changqing has been actively contacting major merchants, trying to lower prices to stockpile supplies. The merchants who had originally negotiated changed their minds one after another, either claiming that they had already negotiated a buyer or that they did not have much. The language was inconsistent.
Wei Changqing's hemming and hawing made Wei Changqing feel something bad, someone was targeting him.
He secretly pursued it and finally heard the news from several businessmen he was friends with. It seemed that a certain adult in the capital was secretly suppressing them. There were not many adults in the capital who had the ability and courage to suppress the Wei family.
After two rounds of investigations, a branch of the Wen family was found. However, how could a branch of the Wen family have the ability to go against the Wei family? Someone had not given them the instruction to do so.
Wei Changqing was confused. He and the Wen family had always been on good terms and would help each other out when needed. Why did the Wen family suddenly fall out?
He had heard about the impeachment of Wen Tiren in the court, and had been worried about him for a time. Fortunately, it was settled later. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wen himself was still a clay Buddha crossing the river, and he still spared no effort to deal with the Wei family.
Is he crazy?
Wei Changqing was keenly aware of the strangeness of this matter. He did not know that the emperor had sent a wrong gift to the Wei family, but he knew that Zanhua, the head of the Yushitai, who had always disdained being associated with people like them, was in the court.
He took the initiative to say hello to his father. He was also surprised by this incident and didn't know what the censor couldn't think about.
He wanted to go to Wen's house to talk about the matter. Unexpectedly, before he got to Wen's house, he already noticed someone following him. He pretended not to know and walked for a few streets, with the people behind him following him closely.
It can be felt that the people who follow him are also experts, and there are more than one of them. They may not get any benefits from head-on confrontation. But they did not take action along the way, they just followed closely. What do they want to get from themselves?
Before he could think clearly, the people behind him made a move when passing by a narrow alley. Wei Changqing was shocked and defended himself while moving towards a crowded place. He had already seen that these people would not take action in a crowded place.
.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached a crowded place, the people behind them disappeared. Although Wei Changqing was not seriously injured, he was also slightly injured. He didn't want to go to Wen's house. It was more important to go home and see the doctor first.
When Wei Dezao saw his son come back injured, he was very angry. "This thief Wen has been showing off some evil intentions recently and is targeting us."
Wei Changqing endured the pain and analyzed: "I think there is a misunderstanding. Mr. Wen will never target the Wei family for no reason. This will not do him any good. There must be something going on that we don't know about. Dad, please tell me first
Tell me in detail what happened in the past few days."
So Wei Dezao told him that Wen Tiren came to talk to him a few days ago but was in a strange mood. The emperor sent the things that were supposed to be sent to Ren Zanhua's house to the Wei Mansion. He didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he immediately sent someone to send the things back. Today
When he went to court, Ren Zanhua said hello to him in a nonchalant manner, and Wen Tiren looked as ugly as if his biological father had died. All these various things were said over and over again.
Wei Changqing frowned: "I always feel that things are not as simple as they seem. Your Majesty's father-in-law has been working in this palace for many years. When has he ever made the mistake of sending the wrong thing?"
Wei Dezao thought for a moment: "I thought it was strange too, but the prince personally brought the things and apologized, saying that the new eunuch was ignorant and gave the wrong order when he gave the order. I didn't go into it too deeply."
Wei Changqing shook his head: "It won't be that simple."
Wei Dezao was angry: "Regardless of whether there is any problem with this matter, the fact that Wen is very aggressive towards us is just fine in the upper court, but he is still tampering with us in the lower court. Do you really think that the Wei family is easy to bully?"
Wei Changqing pulled his father to sit down and said, "Don't be angry yet. I will meet Mr. Wen another day to talk about this matter."
Wei Dezao was still angry and snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Wen Tiren suppressed the Wei family's business several times in a row. The Wei family behaved very generously and tolerated it again and again. This made him hesitate, and he decided to make an appointment to have a good talk with the Wei family.
Unfortunately, this conversation is destined to fail.
