Things that are not taken seriously are more likely to be used as handles. If Censor Chen cared about these distant relatives, then, with Censor Chen's self-discipline, he would never allow them to do whatever they want.
As for Shen Liang, he would not have the ability and foresight to be so powerful. He would have investigated Censor Chen long ago.
Not only can they investigate Censor Chen, but they can also dig out Censor Chen's distant relatives and use them as leverage to blackmail Censor Chen.
The most likely person is Shen Liang, who was actually instructed by someone.
After all, if Shen Liang really had the ability, he would not have been unknown for so many years, relying on the Feng family's Rongchang Marquis to make a living.
A person who has been silent for such a long time suddenly becomes powerful. One reason is that he is lucky, and the other is that he has been hiding his strength.
But Shen Liang really doesn't seem like a person with such deep scheming - in his previous life, this man died at the hands of his own wife. He had a concubine and became powerful. At that time, the King of Chu also ascended the throne and the Feng family fell into decline. He not only wanted to have a concubine, but also wanted to remarry. As a result, he was poisoned to death by a glass of poisoned wine from Feng.
The body was not discovered until seven or eight days later.
This incident became a laughing stock among people in Beijing, and Peng Caichen mentioned it as a joke more than once in the princess's mansion.
Wei An was impressed.
It is precisely because of this that Wei An does not believe that Shen Liang is a deep-minded person. At best, he is just a coward without his own opinion. He will go wherever the wind blows.
And I got lucky... ..
It seemed like Shen Liang really had suddenly gotten lucky. You know, even at the end of his previous life, Shen Liang couldn't get a real job. After he died, even his family was destroyed by Shen Chen.
So... ...
Who was the person behind the scenes who gave him this great luck
Who has the ability to make him become a guerrilla general of the Beijing camp, hold real power, and even compete with her uncle, the Prince of Zhennan
Concubine Feng
Concubine Feng...
The Feng family might really have the ability to keep a hundred-legged insect alive even after it dies. However, the Feng family had many people in the past, and Rongchang Hou was in his prime, so they would not support Shen Liang, who could not be helped.
But now it is different. The new Marquis of Rongchang is just a twelve-year-old boy, and the old Marquis of Rongchang and the crown prince are both dead. The Feng family is not as powerful as before, and they urgently need someone to step forward.
It is possible that Concubine Feng was the one who did this.
On the other hand, it is not impossible for the King of Chu to do so. This person has not made any move for a long time, which is not his style. Moreover, now that Qiu Chuying has come up, how can the old fox not smell that something is wrong
Regardless of which of the two forces did it, did they know that it was related to Censor Chen and Qiu Chuying, or did they simply want to follow Censor Chen's lead, as Shen Liang said, to let Censor Chen seize the opportunity and unify their statements with the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice
After waiting for a long time for Wei An to speak, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but look at Old Lady Wei with some trepidation.
Wei An quickly noticed Madam Chen's mood. He was silent for a moment and then smiled: "Madam, don't worry, it's not a big deal. Go back and tell Master Chen not to worry about the past and just listen to Shen Liang's words."
Mrs. Chen was a little surprised.
What did her husband say to Wei An that made Wei An ask him to do what Shen Liang said
But although she was surprised, she still did not ask too many questions, but just smiled and agreed, and then talked about the spring outing: "Our family has booked hanging paper on the fourth day of April, and we can prepare for the outing the next day. The place we booked is Donghe Academy..."
Donghe Academy is located in the east of the city. Every spring, the peach and pear blossoms in the academy bloom together. From a distance, they are so beautiful that they seem out of this world. Because the scenery is so beautiful, many people come to the village outside the academy for outings every year.
Because of the existence of this academy, there are several more restaurants nearby. They open during the peak season, but only two or three remain after the peak season.
And now is the busiest time.
The Chen family was able to reserve a spot and monopolize it for the whole day, and it was the most famous Taohuawu with the most peach blossoms, which really makes people excited when they hear about it.
Old Mrs. Wei agreed with a smile. Although she didn't say anything when Wei Yuyou's marriage fell through last time, she had always been thinking about it in her heart. Now that the situation was better, she wanted to settle Wei Yuyou's marriage as soon as possible. She would take this opportunity to get to know each other.
After Madam Chen said goodbye and left, Old Madam Wei asked Wei An suspiciously, "What happened? How did it get involved with the Feng family again?"
The current Pingxi Marquis Shen Liang is a fool, not half as smart and capable as his brother Shen Cong. Everyone habitually thinks of the Feng family when they mention him. After all, he does depend on the Feng family for his livelihood.
Wei An raised the letter in his hand and showed it to Old Madam Wei before saying, "It was Shen Liang who threatened Censor Chen, wanting him to let Qiu Chuying go, and also said..."
She glanced at Old Madam Wei and said, "She also said that the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have already made arrangements."
The three judges held a joint trial. They had already dealt with the other two families. As for the remaining Censor Chen, they were able to use leverage to force him to submit...
Old Mrs. Wei couldn't help but be shocked.
Is it the King of Chu or Concubine Feng
Moreover, they had gone to great lengths to come up with a way to have Qiu Chuying returned to Beijing for trial in order to investigate what happened back then. Now if Qiu Chuying was cleared of the charges of accepting bribes and colluding with private salt dealers, then...
So wouldn't it be like that we'd just have to let this clue go in vain
Otherwise, Censor Chen would not be able to pass the test...
But if we really let Qiu Chuying go, when will the next opportunity come
The Ming family has been wronged for so many years. If it cannot be cleared up during the reign of Emperor Longqing, then she will not live to see that time...
She suddenly called out to Wei An.
Wei An turned his head to look at her, his eyes were clear, and gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
Mrs. Wei sighed and looked into her eyes: "I want to ask if you have any other ideas... But after thinking about it, I feel that there is no need to say more."
She smiled somewhat sadly: "Because I thought about it, if your mother was still alive, she would definitely not do as I did and ask you to investigate the affairs of the Ming family. She knew that this was a matter that was finalized by Emperor Longqing and could not be changed, but she still asked you to go."
Qiu Chuying is not an ordinary person. With so many forces involved behind the scenes, she shouldn't demand so much from Wei An.
Wei An blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Old Lady Wei would say this to her. However, no matter what, the affairs of the Ming family had already become a burden on her shoulders.
People always have to find some reasons to keep themselves alive. It just so happened that when facing her life experience before, Wei An almost didn't know what she was still alive for, until she suddenly discovered her true life experience.
