Before Xie Yuan returned home, a ship docked at Ducheng Pier, and a timid young man holding a package on the deck looked at Ducheng who was talking, gritted his teeth, got off the ship, and blended into the crowd.

Two days later, this young man stopped Su Dazai's bicycle, knelt down, and accused someone with the loudest voice in his life.

The people sued the officials, and went through countless levels, directly suing the most powerful nobles today.

Xie Yuan.

"The grassroots man is Ye Xun, the son of Ye Li. My father once told me that Xie Yuan conspired with him three years ago to slander Lin Yuchen, the former chief of the Ordnance Factory, which caused him to be deposed and imprisoned. They later helped him rise to power. After that, they controlled the interests of the Ordnance Factory and made inferior ordnance.

Substitute high-quality refined iron and other materials and seek huge profits from them. Now, in order to cover up the facts, Xie Yuan rushed to kill my Ye family before the imperial inspection team, in order to kill people and wipe out his crimes. "

The whole street was shaken and there were a lot of discussions, but Su Dazai was very calm and just frowned slightly, "If you are the son of Ye Li, why did those people not silence you and allow you to come to the capital?"

Seeing that Su Dazai didn't seem to believe him, Ye Xun became a little anxious. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Because I am an illegitimate child and no one knows about it. Therefore, those who silenced me do not know that I exist. My father is afraid that this day will come, so he prepares it in advance."

Tell me the truth and give me the letter evidence of his conspiracy with Xie Yuan. Here, you can check if it is his handwriting!!"

He took out the secret message from his sleeve and handed it to Su Dazai on the street.

"Master Su, I know that you are the best official. You will enforce the law impartially and punish Xie Yuan, right?"

Su Dazai looked at him and said nothing for a while.

And Ye Xun has been kneeling on the ground, holding the stack of secret letters in his hand.

——————

Ming Jin listened to the news from the capital city. She was looking for Xie Yuan. She didn't know where he was or what he was going to do. She suddenly got the information from the capital city. She was silent for a long time, and then she pressed the information on the table.

Finger presses the black words on the white paper.

"He didn't do it."

She knows him too well.

"There are only two kinds of interests in the ordnance shop. One is reselling. Although it is huge profits, the Xie family's ancestral business includes legitimate salt and iron trading, which is safe and huge profits. There is no need to be involved in this. The other is to obtain the resources for making ordnance and transfer them to make their own ordnance.

, but my father has the Wujia Army that has passed the Ming Road, so there is no need."

"If there is no necessary benefit and he does not need to be involved in the armory, then there is something wrong with the secret letter."

Tuoze also thinks this is true.

The Xie family has no foundation, and there is no need to do such a thing, but Ye Xun said the matter as if it were true. If Xie Yuan really conspired with Ye Li, then the affairs of the ordnance shop in the future can be blamed on him.

This is a very common method in official circles, but it is not difficult to crack.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.

Tuoze thought of this and asked: "Does it mention whether Dazai Su accepted this report?"

"Yes, if I hadn't, the news wouldn't have spread, because that Ye Xun will definitely be dealt with."

"Then Su Dazai..."

Ming Jin gently pressed his eyebrows and said: "That Ye Xun is very good at finding people. He has found someone who is capable and will handle it impartially. He is the only one who dares to take on this case and will take it on."

Tuo Ze frowned, "He is still Su Shenzhi's grandfather, right..."

"No, he is a veteran of two generations. He has dedicated his life to the country. He has never been corrupt, bended the law, or grabbed power. At his official position and age, he is not like Su Shenzhi, who still has the radical naivety of a young man. He is just for profit.

You can trade for advancement—in fact, taking action at this stage is trade for advancement.”

She could see how great a feat it was for Xie Yuan to defeat the wilderness, but at this time, the imperial court was going to deal with Xie Yuan because of the accusation of the illegitimate son of a criminal official. It would only give the world the impression that Xie Yuan was so great that the master wanted to eradicate her.

.

The imperial court would not be so stupid. It would also cast a dark shadow on the king's historical review, and it would make other people afraid to make meritorious deeds in the future, and the consequences would be serious.

Unless there is a serious enough and solid accusation, the court will not take action rashly.

"But, he and Mr. Xie also have a conflict of interest, don't they? They are both important ministers of the cabinet. If there is no problem, when Su Dazai's term is up, Mr. Xie has the most power and can aspire to the cabinet."

Ming Jin tilted his head slightly and said, "My father will not become the leader of the cabinet."

Tuoze was surprised, this is?

"When Chu and Xie jointly conquered the world and founded the country, there was an old agreement, which stipulated that no one from the several powerful families at that time should hold the power of the leader of the cabinet, because the family's nobility and the cabinet's power can only choose one of the two. If they have both

, will become a disaster, this is to ensure the stability of Chu's world."

Tuo Ze: "The Chu family's move is also powerful, and other families actually agree. However, he is the master, so he can only agree."

Ming Jin's expression was a little subtle and he shook his head, "It wasn't the Chu family who ordered it, it was my ancestor."

Tuo Ze was stunned.

Ming Jin lowered his eyes and said calmly: "The Xie family should exercise restraint. This is probably an ancestral rule."

The Xie family has a lot of rules. There are so many aristocratic families, but the Xie family has countless rules. In his opinion, his master is probably the only Xie family who completely abides by them.

What about Xie Yuan? Will he abide by it?

It seems that in the eyes of the Lord, he will stick to this rule, so he will not touch the position of the leader of the Cabinet Department, otherwise at the age when Su Dazai is about to retire,

Tuoze was speechless for a moment,

After saying that, she looked at Tuo Ze, "The next leader of the cabinet should have been decided by default. It is not my father, but Mr. Yu Ge, who has been the most supportive of the royal power in recent years. My father has agreed, so the Queen and Concubine Ling will

I suspect that Mr. Yu Ge is also related to my father. I am afraid that he has both military and political power and is extremely powerful. In order to win over him, Your Majesty will let me enter the palace. If not, I will have to move to a lower position. After all, Your Majesty was very powerful at that time.

In order to stabilize and support his courtiers, in addition to the Su family, including those in the future, and even the concubines, most likely they are from the families of those courtiers. This is a common trick of the harems and courts of kings in the past. "

She used backward reasoning, guessing the outcome decided by the Cabinet, and also guessing that her father had made concessions.

This is how the king and the queen's beloved concubine reacted coherently.

"In this case, Su Dazai doesn't have to take this case at all."

"If he doesn't accept it, the reputation of the Cabinet will be ruined. Qingliu will protest. If he accepts it, he can stop others from messing around. He can investigate as he wants. At present, Su Dazai should have this mentality."

Takuze caught the hesitation on her face.

"What about the person behind the arrangement of Ye Xun? What is his mentality?"

Ming Jin leaned back on the chair, tapped his forehead with his finger, and said thoughtfully, "Yes, what is Su Shenzhi's mentality? He is afraid of his grandfather, and he knows his grandfather very well. He knows that he will investigate in detail,

We can definitely find out the truth and let my father escape easily then, why bother."

"Either he wants to use his identity to intervene in it and make some fuss, but in my judgment, as long as there is no problem with Su Dazai, if he intervenes again, the consequences of the fabrication will eventually be dealt with."

"So, does he want something to happen to his grandfather?"

Ming Jin suddenly raised his face, his eyes sharp.

Tuo Ze was suddenly shocked.

If something happens to Su Dazai, everyone will doubt that it was done by Xie Yuan, a Ye Li, or a former director of the ordnance workshop, let alone slander. Even if it is true, with the power of the Xie family and Xie Yuan, they will not be able to kill him in the end.

To completely kill an opponent like Xie Yuan, one must either not take action or must use thunder to kill him, otherwise the consequences will be endless.

Su Shenzhi is definitely not such a fool.

Ye Xun is just a cover-up, the real killing move is Su Dazai.

Once the latter dies, the consequences will be enough to overthrow the Xie family.

The anger of the court and the people will overwhelm the entire Xie family.

At that time, the court had enough reasons to deal with Xie Yuan.

"But in this way, Su Shenzhi will suffer a huge loss. After all, no matter how talented he is, his success in officialdom has a lot to do with Su Dazai's blessing. Losing him is equivalent to losing the backbone of the Su family, and he has not yet

Taking control of the center is equivalent to losing eight hundred to oneself and one thousand to the enemy. With Su Shenzhi's character, he would never do such a deal - unless getting rid of Su Dazai was also to protect himself."

Ming Jin stood up with a stern look on his face.

Su Dazai should have seen through the face of his grandson, and will definitely investigate in detail next, and will he exterminate the family for justice?

It seems that she heard that Su Shenzhi's parents had problems back then, and they were dealt with decisively by Su Dazai. The government and the public were shocked at that time. She had heard her grandfather talk to Xie Yuan, and the expressions between the two of them were very complicated at that time.

"My Lord, do you want to contact people in the capital to contact Su Dazai now?"

"It might be too late."

Ming Jin looked out the window, and there was a sudden rumble outside, which was actually thunder.

Is it going to rain again?

But she hasn't found Xie Yuan yet.

But Su Shenzhi was already about to take action.

Ming Jin was not blindly suspicious, she had already prepared for the worst.

"Go on with the arrangements. All the people and horses are ready. Over at the border city...and over at Taiyi City...also contact the Xie family over at the capital. Be sure to keep an eye on Mingdai and the others, protect them as much as possible, and

There are those who had enmity with the Xie family in the past, people with certain abilities and backgrounds, and whenever they made any changes, the news could be conveyed, and no matter how much money or connections they spent, they would stop them outside the gate of the Xie family!"

"Have there been any changes in the secret guards? Ask Shaoyao to contact someone. There are people I trained among them. Although they are not leaders, they should know some clues about Bi Er and the others. Tell me, and I must know whether they are all in the capital, and whether

We can protect the Xie family in time."
