In fact, there are still many doubts about what Cen Er said, and there are still many unclear explanations. Yuqing still couldn't believe it on the carriage on the way back: "Girl, do you really believe him?"
Wei An believes it.
Not to mention the Qin family's previous life of killing Qiu Chuying, just take what Cen Er said now, it's not something that can be made up. He is just a little thug, he can't make up these words.
She shook her head and leaned back on the soft pillow: "Don't rush to talk about this. Let Tan Xi check it out first."
Yuqing nodded as if she understood something.
It was almost noon when they returned to Jinxiufang. It was time for lunch, so Wei An had the windows open and had the food delivered to the second floor.
Lan He took the opportunity to tell her: "Miss, Miss Shen just came here and insisted on coming in to see you. I said, you have been trying on clothes for the whole morning and you are taking a rest..."
Miss Shen
Yuqing thought about it and felt that her daughter had never had any contact with any daughter from the Shen family, so she asked, "Which Shen family?"
"It's the Shen family of Pingxi Hou." Lan He snorted in a bad tone: "I don't know why, I said that, but she just wouldn't give up, and had to see you, I almost couldn't stop her."
Yuqing couldn't help but frown: "We don't have any friendship, why is Miss Shen so rude?"
Wei An smiled and said, "She was so eager to see me, but how could she be willing to leave without seeing me?"
Lan He smiled awkwardly: "You guessed it all, young lady. Later, Xiao Zhenguo came and ridiculed the young lady from the Shen family, which made her angry and left."
"He's here too?" Wei An pondered for a moment: "Where is he?"
Shen Chen's frivolous laughter suddenly appeared at the door. He leaned against the door and laughed: "Here it is. Should you thank me?"
He came uninvited and sat down opposite Wei An without any courtesy. He looked at Lan He who was busy closing the window and exclaimed, "You are so smart. You have trained these girls in such a short time."
Wei An took a sip of tea.
Shen Chen put away his smile and said, "I have something to tell you. Something happened to King Zheng..."
No wonder there has been no news from King Zheng in the past few days. Wei An felt a little panicked in his heart. He suddenly clutched the cup in his hand and looked at him without blinking.
Shen Chen shook his head: "It's nothing serious, it's just that my uncle the emperor... ..Oh no, uncle, he asked Uncle Zheng Wang to go to Yangzhou. There was something wrong with the tribute cloth from Yangzhou..."
So let King Zheng investigate
Wei An still felt something was wrong.
At this time? This is too coincidental. It might be someone else, not Emperor Longqing, who asked Prince Zheng to go to Yangzhou.
She was silent for a moment, then bit her lip and looked at him: "Do you believe that I am just going to check the tribute?"
Previously, the King of Chu wanted to kill the King of Zheng but failed. Then the King of Zheng took the initiative to express his loyalty to Emperor Longqing, which made Emperor Longqing gradually become closer to him. This was probably not a result that the King of Chu would like to see.
"No." Wei An concluded: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Shen Chen grabbed a handful of melon seeds and chuckled, "Of course it's not that simple. Uncle Zheng was robbed as soon as he left Hebei."
Wei An was shocked: "When did it happen?!"
Only now did she realize that she had never contacted King Zheng on her own initiative.
Maybe it's because we spend too little time together, or maybe I really don't know how to deal with it. I have long been accustomed to not relying on other people's help in anything, for fear of unnecessary trouble.
When she did these things, she never thought of seeking help from King Zheng.
So he didn't even know that King Zheng was sent out of the capital on a mission.
"But..." She didn't quite understand: "My grandmother and uncle never mentioned..."
Logically speaking, if the emperor sent someone on a mission, there is no reason why the third master, an official in the court, would not know about it.
Shen Chen glanced at her: "Secret order."
This means that even if King Zheng died, he could still be covered up with many reasons.
The King of Chu really put a lot of effort into this.
Wei An sat for a while, then suddenly sneered.
Shen Chen knew that she was angry, and asked again: "What have you been doing recently? Is there any result for that thing you mentioned?"
Wei An said there was no need to worry about Qiu Chuying, she had a way, but there had been no news recently.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Chen continued, "If you haven't found anything yet, I have a little gain here." He said, and smiled meaningfully, "The rioters in Yunnan who attacked the remnants of the Ming family were really causing trouble for the Ming family."
Wei An raised his eyebrows.
But it was clear that all the people in the Ming family were dead.
The direct descendants of the Ming family were all killed by bandits on their way to Beijing.
And those insignificant people also died in the subsequent drought in Yunnan.
Over the years, Mrs. Wei has sent people there so many times, but nothing has been found.
How did Shen Chen find out
"Don't look at me like that." Shen Chen's beautiful peach blossom eyes showed an unclear emotion: "Those who died in Yunnan that year were not only people from your Ming family, but also my father. And my mother also died because of my father's death!"
His tone was still calm, not intense, and even without any emotional ups and downs.
But Wei An sighed.
She knew that in his previous life, Shen Chen got married and had children, but he was never able to let go of this knot in his heart.
"You can't imagine the effort I put into Yunnan." His tone gradually became colder: "After so many years, with the money flowing like water and the secret agents coming one after another, there should be some results."
"Back then, my father died while fighting against the rebels with the Ming family. They said he fell into a trap set by the rebels. Since then, the court has taken the letter from the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou seriously, and has demanded that the cabinet and the emperor thoroughly investigate the connection between the Ming family and the rebels."
Therefore, the life of Pingxi Hou Shen Cong was actually just a knife that others were indirectly preparing to use against the Ming family.
These people are so vicious.
Wei An pursed his lips: "What else did you find out?"
"The person will be brought to the capital soon. Wait a little longer." His eyes sparkled and he suddenly laughed, "I've waited for so many years. I don't mind waiting a little longer."
Wei An hummed, "Yes, I don't mind waiting a little longer. I will soon have a result. As long as we open this hole, those who really deserve to die will die."
The door was banged, and the maid from Jinxiufang said softly outside: "Miss Qi, please go down and pick out the fabric."
You have to do the whole thing when you act.
Besides, the people who came to find out the news have already arrived.
Wei An glanced at Shen Chen and sighed: "Xinzhen Guo, I have a favor to ask of you. Please... Please help me bring a letter to the prince."
