However, after Jin Sanxiao of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau finished his job, the next person to come up was Liu Chunwang. He was a filial son and grandson of the former Prince of Fenyang, and also a vassal of an uncle from the family of the Princess of Fenyang. He had made great contributions to the Cui family and the Princess of Fenyang.
Then came the Yintian prefect.
This is also an old acquaintance-----Tong Tai’s lifelong friend.
These three people who could collude with the Minister of Revenue to do such a thing are important enough to appease the emperor's wrath.
No matter which of these three people it is, for them now, it is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm and cutting off a large piece of flesh from their body.
Thinking of this, Master Tong Er couldn't help it anymore, and actually started to complain in front of the people in the room: "Sister-in-law, this is really a big deal!"
Two important people were lost at once!
Well, Hu Jianbang didn't play any role at all. Until now, the censors can only report that Hu Jianbang himself committed suicide. This has completely deviated from their original intention of getting Hu Jianbang back to Beijing. But now they can't take care of it anymore - the Lei Yun incident has already caused the emperor to be furious. At this critical juncture, targeting Hu Jianbang again will be too obvious and will easily lead to further escalation of the situation.
It's really a case of trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing a handful of rice.
This sentence expressed everyone's thoughts. Not only did Xu Chong remain silent, even Princess Fenyang only raised her eyebrows slightly.
After all, everyone came together because of common interests, but Qi Yunxi has repeatedly damaged the interests of the Fenyang Palace. How can anyone feel comfortable with this
She was the first to speak: "Without the Weaving Bureau, where can we get these fine materials?!"
Using the court's materials to make money at sea is a business that makes huge profits with no investment. This position is too important and she will not give up an inch.
Her attitude has made it clear that she will never give up on Liu Chunwang.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Chong also said in a deep voice: "The Min family has worked hard and made great contributions."
If the Min family loses the position of naval admiral, the Xu family will also be embarrassed. After all, the old man receives countless benefits from the Min family every year. The Min family is also the old man's eyes and ears, and the things they have done are innumerable. Besides, this time, it was not the Min family's fault, and the Min family cannot be asked to take the blame.
There is no need to say the rest, as everyone here is a smart person.
Master Tong Er's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
Qi Yunxi's face was gloomy. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. The business under the thundercloud..."
"Let's see how far we can suppress it." Xu Chong felt a headache: "And there is still work to do."
He couldn't let anyone know, so he had to sort things out first. He thought for a moment and said, "We have to settle the rest of the Lei family first. We have to protect those who can be protected, otherwise it will really chill the hearts of the people below. Only in this way can Lei Yun go with peace of mind."
After he finished speaking, seeing that no one had any objections, he said to Qi Yunxi, "Put a hold on business and be careful. This time the emperor is really angry about Lei Yun's matter and has ordered the Royal Guards to strictly guard the Lei Mansion. All the things in the Lei family's study have been taken to the Dali Temple..."
This sentence only made Qi Yunxi's face gloomy, but the next words made Qi Yunxi unable to control the expression on his face.
"If we continue to investigate and find the southeast, it will not be good for any of you, and it will certainly not be good for us either." Xu Chong lowered his voice, looked around at everyone, and whispered: "Father said, don't really think that you can be successful just because you guessed a few of His Majesty's intentions before. You know, a tiger is still a tiger even when it's napping. Once it opens its eyes and smells something, it wants to eat people."
Qi Yunxi's face suddenly turned pale.
Even Princess Fenyang was furious.
Seeing that everyone had completely understood what he meant, Xu Chong sighed quietly, "How long have you been at peace? Aunt, I'm not saying that you should be more restrained. You have fought for what you should have fought for. If you continue like this, it will be too much! This will harm that person."
He said no more and turned away.
For a long time, the room was still dead silent.
Princess Fenyang was the first to react. She rubbed her brows tiredly and said, "If the matter of Leiyun is investigated, I'm afraid there will be a big shock. While Lord Ci Fu is suppressing it, there is still some time to breathe. Listen to Lord Xu's words." She paused, and seeing Qi Yunxi's gloomy face, she said, "Even if you don't care about yourself, you should ask that person's opinion. If there is a little spark, you should know that although we can't escape death, his life may not be easy. You have endured for so long, planned for so long, and dragged all of us into it. Is it just to bury you?"
Qi Yunxi immediately looked towards Princess Fenyang, and after a long while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Princess, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter and I won't mess around again."
Princess Fenyang nodded and exhaled, "Have you found out clearly, is it really the girl from the Su family who is doing bad things behind the scenes?"
In just a few days, Qi Yunxi had recovered from the shock of the blow. Her face was filled with hatred that was no longer concealed: "The people sent to pretend to be refugees to kill the Shen couple were killed instead. Also, Tang Youlong, the most important person under Lei Yun, is missing. He was the one who helped Lei Yun set a trap for the Shen family."
Such a big figure disappeared early.
It goes without saying what could have happened.
Princess Fenyang snorted, "This Su Yao is really so smart that she's almost a demon. How did she come up with this idea?"
After taking a breath, Princess Fenyang's expression became even more solemn: "If this girl continues like this, she will be the one digging my grave sooner or later!"
Master Tong Er just reacted at this moment. Hearing them say this, he was full of confusion: "She is just a teenage girl. I am afraid she is just a trick pushed by her family. Are you exaggerating her too much?"
This time, even Qi Yunxi didn't speak.
Su Yao is indeed a headache, but the problem is that every time we deal with her, we not only fail, but also end up hurting ourselves.
For example, this time, to be honest, the loss of a thundercloud and the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture has already dealt a heavy blow to them.
Su Yao, who was being talked about at this time, was also in Dongcheng, but she was not in Juhai Manor, but in Baiyun Temple in Dongcheng.
Baiyun Temple is a royal Taoist temple, and normally no idle people are allowed to enter. But obviously, Miss Su was not one of the idle people. She entered the mountain gate and climbed up the ninety-nine steps. She saw the person standing under the bare banyan tree and could not help but quicken her pace and walked over.
