Wei Rui nodded affirmatively: "It is Yang Huai, the censor who is now inspecting Jiangxi. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be promoted to the position of Left Censor-in-Chief and the governor of Jiangxi..."
Yang Huai, this person is not a simple person.
Old Mrs. Wei tapped the table lightly with her fingers, feeling a little confused.
If it is really Yang Huai, this person Yang Huai...
As an imperial censor who supervises all officials, Yang Huai can be considered diligent and conscientious. Many officials are terrified when they see him. However, is his report to the Marquis Huairen's mansion really fair
You know, although Yang Huai is stern, he is not selfless. He is able to give his own people a way out. Even when the Ming family was in trouble, Yang Huai was the first to take sides. How could he be so ruthless in attending to the Renbo Mansion
I’m afraid this is not easy.
Mrs. Wei paused before continuing to ask, "What is the connection between these two?"
Wei Rui had already investigated the matter very clearly, and said to Old Lady Wei: "There is something fishy about the case of the Huairen Marquis's Mansion. After the Huairen Marquis's Mansion collapsed, all the profits from the iron mine belonged to the Zhu family. Soon after, the Zhu family proposed marriage to the prince..."
Mrs. Wei did not interrupt him. She waited until he finished speaking before asking, "You mean, the Zhu family might have someone behind the scenes? If Yang Huai is in cahoots with them..."
"No." Wei Rui thought about the wording, and then he told Mrs. Wei: "We found out some very interesting things. The useless Cheng Enbo of the Fang family used to fight cocks and run dogs with Yang Huai's son for a long time..."
The more Mrs. Wei listened, the more confused she became. She just sat there in the gooseneck chair without saying a word.
Wei Rui did not stop talking: "Ever since Uncle Cheng En caused trouble in our family, the young master of the Yang family was transferred out of the Hanlin Academy. Before the three-year observation period was completed, he was transferred to Yunnan to serve as a county magistrate."
Old Lady Wei finally understood what Wei Rui meant. Yang Huai's son should have had a better future no matter what. He shouldn't have been transferred out of the capital in such a hurry and sent to that remote place. He is still serving as a county magistrate. This is not in line with the common sense of promotion.
Unless that Young Master Yang offended someone, even Yang Huai would have to stay away from him.
Mrs. Wei thought about it for a moment and understood: "Did the young master of the Yang family give the idea to Cheng Enbo? Did he set his sights on Amin?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." The more Wei Rui investigated, the more frightened he became. He told Old Lady Wei, "I'm afraid the reason why the eldest lady got involved with that scoundrel Cheng Enbo and had a bad reputation was that someone else had planned it in advance."
If nothing had happened to the Wei family and the Ming family was still around at that time, it would definitely not have been the turn of the Pingyang Marquisate, which is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, to propose marriage.
Mrs. Wei suddenly realized what was going on. She wanted to sneer, but she felt a bone-chilling chill spreading down her spine.
If all these speculations are true, then how big a game are these people playing
Such painstaking efforts to play chess against the Wei family...
No! Not just for the Wei family!
Old Madam Wei was extremely frightened, and her mind was in a mess. When people get old, they will have a severe headache if they think too much about many things. She raised her hand to rub her temple, interrupted Wei Rui, shook the silver bell beside her, waited for Aunt Hua to come in, and whispered, "Go and invite Miss Seven."
Wei Rui's eyes widened. Although he had not been in the mansion for a long time, he was very clear about the ranking of the masters in the house. Wasn't the Seventh Miss the daughter of Princess Changning
The old lady has never liked the fifth room and its people...
Wei An was much calmer than him. He did not ask the reason why Mrs. Wei asked her to come so late at night. When he walked in and saw Wei Rui, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Is he your uncle's brother?"
Mrs. Wei turned and looked at her in surprise: "Do you know him?"
They knew each other in the previous life. Wei An remembered that he followed his sworn brother and did many things. In the end, he would probably surrender to King Linjiang. She didn't say yes. She just sat there with Old Lady Wei and listened to Wei Rui repeating what he had said before. She immediately grasped the key points clearly.
"Uncle Rui, do you think that the Zhu family and the Yang family have some kind of deal, and there are probably people behind these two families?" She nodded, "I do know one thing..."
Wei Rui was quite surprised by her calmness and rationality. He didn't react until she said this. He lowered his head and dared not look up. He just cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me clearly, Miss Seven."
"Yang Huai's hometown is in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. I heard someone say that the reason he was able to rise through the ranks of the 13th Supervisory Censor and was able to inspect the country for the emperor was because he built a shrine for Cao An, the eunuch who held the seal of the Imperial Household Department. Because of this, he had a very bad reputation for a while..."
Thanks to the fact that he was able to survive to the end in his previous life, and thanks to the fact that he was able to endure the pain and grit his teeth to memorize the names of so many enemies or useful people, Wei An now remembers very clearly every person who may cause trouble in the future.
Wei Rui couldn't help but looked up at Wei An in surprise. The girl in front of him was clearly ten years old, but the words she said were definitely not something a seven-year-old girl could understand. He took a deep breath and then lowered his head: "So if there is a mastermind behind the Zhu and Yang families, it must be Cao An..."
Wei An thought for a while: "After my eldest sister got into trouble, the Zhu family came to propose marriage two years later. Later, the Ming family got into trouble, and my eldest uncle also got into trouble, but the Zhu family refused to give up the marriage. At that time, if I remember correctly, Cao An was just a eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, and he was not very outstanding. It was only after the Ming family incident that he rose to prominence and entered the Imperial Horse Department, in charge of the horses of the four guards of Tengxiang, and then entered the Imperial Household Department..."
It's impossible that Cao An was promoted so quickly for no reason. The level between the Yellow Gate Eunuch and the Junior Fire Supervisor seems simple but is extremely difficult to leap. There must be a reason for him to be promoted in such a short time.
But no matter what, it is certain that there is something unclear between the Cao family and the Zhu family.
Wei An was silent for a moment, then asked Wei Rui: "Uncle Rui, do you know where Yang Huai's son is an official?"
Wei Rui subconsciously responded with a "yes" and straightened his neck.
Wei An said: "Find him!"
We can't go directly to Yang Huai for trouble. Yang Huai is a very vigilant person. If he is really related to Cao An and his group, then his background is so deep that it is a bit scary.
Let’s start with Yang Huai’s son.
She gave an order and then added, "Also, check the Zhu family's assets and Zhu Fang's recent movements. Also... check the Yang family's affairs in detail and report them, including how many people there are in the Yang family and how many concubines there are... I know you can do it, Uncle Rui."
Update. It's not that I don't want to see a doctor, but I'm always worried about this and that - I'm the kind of person who avoids seeing a doctor... Now that I've had injections at the clinic for a few days, the pain isn't that severe, but I still want to put it off. If it doesn't hurt at all, I'll be too lazy to go to the hospital.
