Mrs. He's clarity of mind was beyond Mr. Wei's expectations. As a strategist who was used to planning and strategizing, he naturally felt that women's brains were not so easy to use. Therefore, he had prepared a lot of persuasive and soft and hard words to try to suppress Mrs. He first. However, he did not expect that Mrs. He could see things so clearly in her mind and seemed to know everything.
He paused for a moment, then calmed down his shock, and said calmly, "Since Madam knows it, let's be frank. The tribute satin from the Weaving Bureau was definitely not made by Second Master He."
Seeing Mrs. He looking at him, Mr. Wei shook his head and said, "But he is the transport envoy. He is the first one to be troubled when the tribute silk was stolen. That is reasonable. Even if the matter is investigated in the future and it is attributed to the Pang family, Mr. He will definitely be accused of failing to take good care of the family and being incompetent. Don't you think so?"
Su Yao finally recovered from the shock of seeing Song Heng before. After listening to Mr. Wei's words, he looked at Mr. Wei deeply.
Mr. Wei is really a master at attacking people's minds. If Mrs. He didn't know the details of the matter, she would most likely be led by Mr. Wei's words and end up being cannon fodder pushed out by the Pang family.
But now, they are already prepared.
Mrs. He sneered indifferently: "The charges of poor supervision and incompetence will at most lead to demotion or dismissal. No matter which possibility it is, it is much better than the charges that are suppressed now, right? Sir, there is no need to beat around the bush with me. I know my son very well. He doesn't have the courage or the ability to do such a thing. You and the Pang family also know that we are just implicated. What the other party really wants to deal with is your Pang family."
Compared with the previous mutual probing, Mr. Wei was really surprised this time. He looked at Mrs. He deeply, put away his original rhetoric and coping strategies, thought for a while, and then sat back with a serious expression: "Then Madam, you should also know that we are now on the same line. The other party wants to deal with us, but uses Mr. He as a brick to knock on the door. When the door is opened, this brick cannot be preserved. You should know that, right?"
Hearing what Mr. Wei said, Mrs. He said bluntly: "You know, how can a brick be stronger than a heavy door? So when I heard that it was the Third Madam of the Pang family who invited me, I came without hesitation. Mr. Wei, there is no point in talking nonsense now. You also said that we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. In this case, Mr. Wei, what method do you have? It is better to speak directly."
Mrs. He's swift and decisive action was surprising. Mr. Wei put his fingers away and did not answer Mrs. He first. Instead, he suddenly asked her: "Mrs. He knows everything, but do you know who is the person who framed Mr. He?"
Having said this, Mr. Wei had a new understanding of Mrs. He's calmness and shrewdness.
But at the same time he felt it was a little weird.
For a woman who had not left the house for more than ten years, Mrs. He's behavior was too bizarre.
Mrs. He raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Isn't it Admiral Qin Chen?"
Qin Chen
Hearing the certainty in Mrs. He's words, Mr. Wei narrowed his eyes and asked her, "Why are you so sure? Did Mr. He say something?"
"Not really." Mrs. He's face finally showed emotion, with some hatred and irritation in her eyes: "The second son disappeared inexplicably not long after he came to Beijing. Later we found out that he was detained in the Dali Temple. Someone secretly submitted a memorial to the emperor and the cabinet, impeaching the second son for corruption and forming a clique. How could I have the chance to see the second son? But Shao Wenxun and Qin Chen are close friends!"
oh
Mr. Wei's heart moved.
He really didn't know this.
Qin Chen is actually a close friend of Shao Wenxun
So what happened to Shao Wenxun this time...
He nodded and motioned for Mrs. He to continue.
Mrs. He frowned with some disgust: "Although my second son is usually a little confused, he can still distinguish what he can and cannot do. Qin Chen is different. The second son said that he once found out that Qin Chen was doing business with the help of a wealthy businessman in Zhejiang, secretly reselling the seized pirates and Japanese pirates' stuff overseas... ... It was because our second son discovered this secret that Qin Chen must have wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible."
There is actually such a thing. Mr. Wei seemed to be thinking about it.
Qin Chen... ...
This name sounds very familiar.
As he thought about this, he suddenly realized, "Is Qin Chen from Princess Zhuang's family?"
At this point, Mrs. He sighed and said, "Sir, you are the counselor of the Pang family. Can't you guess who really wants to deal with the Pang family? I don't need to answer this question, right?"
Mr. Wei was somewhat speechless.
Mrs. He was completely different from what he had imagined. Not only was she not panicking at all, but she also knew exactly what he was doing there.
He was silent for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Mrs. He in a serious manner, and apologized sincerely: "I am too arrogant. You are clear-headed, so I will be frank with you. Mrs. He, we want to talk to you about this matter."
Having said that, Mr. Wei didn't plan to hide it anymore. Seeing Mrs. He nod, he sat down again and said, "As you said, we all know who is behind this. Now we have a way to deal with it, which is good for both you and us. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he stroked his beard and said, "Mrs. He, we originally wanted to let someone take charge of the Weaving Bureau, but this matter requires the cooperation of you and Mr. He. This is also the reason why I came to you before. But now it's different. Since you mentioned Qin Chen, then this plan can be changed..."
He stroked the wrinkles of his robe leisurely, feeling very satisfied: "Madam He, Prince Zhuang is now dealing with the Pang family, but he has also brought Mr. He in. He has no intention of leaving any room for maneuver. I believe you know this. In this case, why don't we cooperate? I believe you don't want to suffer this sudden disaster for no reason, right?"
Previously he just wanted to calm the matter down first, but now he has been reminded.
Qin Chen is Princess Zhuang's family member. If this matter is investigated over and over again and it turns out that the investigation does not lead to the Pang family but instead leads to the Qin family, I wonder how Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang will react.
Mr. Wei was in high spirits, and looked at Mrs. He with particularly eager eyes.
The expression on Mrs. He's face remained indifferent, but the hand hanging by her side finally let go of the clenched fist, and she silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
