Cao An finally realized that he could not wait any longer.
Since Empress Fang is pregnant, Emperor Longqing will be even more obedient to her. The more powerful the Fang family becomes, the worse his fate will be.
But he still didn't know what went wrong and why Yang Huai's affairs were also dug up. If Yang Qinghe hadn't been kidnapped, the Fang family would never have known that they had colluded with the Zhu family and plotted against Fang Zhengrong, and they would never have discovered that they were the mastermind behind the plot against the Third Prince through the Feng family and then putting the blame on the Fang family.
Who on earth is so powerful that he could dig out what happened to the Yang family in the past
Cao An hadn't been so panicked for a long time.
He has become accustomed to following plans given by others because these plans are always foolproof.
Just like what happened to the Ming family back then, one thing led to another, and not only did the Ming family suffer misfortune, Prince Zheng could no longer be close to Emperor Longqing, and even Prince Linjiang lost such a vigorous and powerful relative in the Marquis of Pingxi.
But when did it start to go wrong
Cao An began to think slowly, not wanting to miss any details.
It seemed to have started from the time Zhu Fang plotted against Wei Yumin.
After that thing failed, everything failed.
The Wei family escaped, Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu also escaped, and King Zheng did not die...
Cao An's eyes became deep, with a gloomy light flashing in them.
In fact, he should have noticed something was wrong earlier.
But these things are completely unrelated, and happened very casually. The Wei family did not show any abnormality. If there must be something abnormal, it was just that the family's housekeeper went to Tongzhou two or three times. But what can be done about that
The Fang family was even more so. Just a month and a half ago, the Fang family was like a frog in warm water, waiting for the water to boil.
Something is wrong...
Then it can only be King Linjiang.
Thinking of King Linjiang, Cao An felt pain in his wrists.
After all the calculations, the biggest mistake was made by Prince Linjiang.
He simply wouldn't believe that it was that damn old woman from the Wei family who was able to bribe Qin Tong and cause such a big fuss.
Linjiang Wang...
He pondered for a long time and finally figured out where the mistake would be if there was one.
The reason why the Fang family was prepared must be because of Yang Qinghe, and Yang Qinghe, was it found by the Fang family themselves? If the Fang family had this ability, they would not be calculated by others.
The only surprise was that the servant of the Feng family who had been bribed long ago in Tongzhou might have leaked something, so Young Master Lin was able to follow the clues and discover that they were going to deal with the Fang family, and then find out what happened that year through the Fang family
Lin San Shao...
According to Cao Wen, the reason why Chu Jingwu and Shen Chen could not be found in Tongzhou was because of the interference of Third Master Lin. Third Master Lin...
How could we ignore Young Master Lin
He felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and gradually covering his entire body.
If Young Master Lin had dug out Yang Qinghe... he might know even more.
Just thinking about this possibility gave him goosebumps all over his body.
Fortunately, he didn't worry for too long. After a few days of worrying about it, he finally heard another piece of news.
Zhu Fang confessed and signed. Under severe torture, he finally succumbed to the torture and confessed that he had opened an iron mine with the Huairen Marquis' Mansion, but later he forgot his loyalty for the sake of profit and embezzled the iron mine. He also used half of the iron mine to honor the Yang family and established a relationship with the Yang family. The Yang family then gave the iron mine to the Cao family.
He looked solemnly at the jailer who brought in the food, and said in a hoarse voice: "Send me a message."
After the news reached the person he wanted to reach, Huang Jun's expression became tense.
He had followed Cao Wen for so many years, but now Cao Wen had fallen, and many Jinyiwei members had been implicated, but he was the only one who still stood firmly. One reason was that he had always been cautious in doing things, and unlike Cao Wen, he knew the principle of leaving a way out for others so that they could meet again in the future; the other reason was that he had a strong backing.
But no matter how strong his backing was, the successive downfalls of Cao Wen and Cao An were enough to scare him.
Now the news from Cao An made him even more nervous and he didn't know what to do.
Right now, the charges against Cao An and Cao Wen were growing like a snowball, and they might be on the verge of collapse. At this time, Cao An still wanted him to pass on the message, and he was actually somewhat reluctant to do so.
But he couldn't help but do it - although he was not implicated now, if he didn't do as Cao An said, even though Cao An was still in prison, there were many ways to kill him, and it would be enough to make him suffer if he started to bite him.
He sighed, and finally went out quietly after dark. After turning left and right, he mixed in with the last group of people leaving the city.
The cabin can no longer be visited.
Now was a turbulent time, and he was very cautious, walking around until almost midnight before he finally sneaked into a house in silence.
It was a residential house outside, but there was a different world inside. He gave a secret signal and soon the heavy door inside opened. He was led in and waited for about half an hour before someone finally came out. He quickly stood up and saluted with lowered head.
The person at the top seemed to be in a bad mood, and sneered sarcastically: "How dare you come?"
Huang Jun cursed in his heart. These eunuchs were extremely difficult to serve. They were all perverted because they had no offspring. However, he had followed Cao Wen in the past and had always been well-behaved under Cao An. He had learned some tricks to get along with the people in front of him, and he became more and more servile: "Eunuch Cao asked me to bring you a message..."
As he spoke, he straightened his back boldly, glanced at the person above him, then lowered his head and said, "Eunuch Cao said that this matter is very strange. It's not that he didn't do his job well, but that someone was plotting behind the scenes..."
The leader was silent for a while, then suddenly asked in an unclear tone: "What does he want to say?"
Huang Jun lowered his head more and more, "Eunuch Cao said that the fault lies with Young Master Lin. Eunuch Cao once told the master that Yang Huai's son Yang Qinghe was missing, and Deputy Magistrate Cao even led people to investigate... Now Eunuch Cao suspects that Yang Qinghe fell into the hands of Young Master Lin. And Young Master Lin's relationship with the Linjiang Palace..."
For a moment, even the air in the room seemed to be still.
Huang Jun gritted his teeth and continued: "Eunuch Cao meant that the incident back then would probably be brought up again..."
It is not easy to plant a nail, especially when this nail is a close minister of the emperor, a eunuch who serves Emperor Longqing personally and can talk to Emperor Longqing.
But now it seems that this nail cannot be saved, it is definitely a useless chess piece...
Even if it is true as Cao An said, and the people behind the scenes are not just targeting Cao An, so what
