Chapter 172 Intervention
"This opportunity is rare. Mu Yushi worked hard to reveal the true face of this shocking corruption case. If he really let it go so lightly, not only will he fail all his efforts, but it will be difficult for the other party to investigate if they are prepared. The Great Zhou Dynasty kept this group of moths, and I am afraid there will be another or even several other Taihe Mansions in the future." Shen Lingze said in a deep voice.

Prince Rui was deeply moved by Shen Lingze's words, and he felt gratified and proud in his heart.

Unknowingly, his son has grown up. He used to be a young boy, but now he has become so broad-minded and far-sighted. Who can compare to him in civil and military affairs?

Prince Rui was silent for a long time, and finally said: "You can see so far, I am very happy as a father, and I don't want to stop you again. However, this matter involves a dispute between the princes, so you should be careful and let your people pay attention some."

Shen Lingze replied, "Yes."

Prince Rui no longer wanted to keep him, waved Shen Lingze and left.

After the people left, he paced back and forth a few times before standing still, sighed and sat down in front of the desk again, and immediately wrote a letter with a pen.

After drying the ink and carefully sealing the letter, Prince Rui called his confidant Shen Chang to come in, handed over the letter and said: "Send it to Pei Zhen, and ask him to immediately follow the instructions in the letter."

Pei Zhen is an effective officer under Prince Rui, who served in the Zuo Army, and served as the commander of the capital.

Now he is stationed with the army on the border of Taihe Province.

As Prince Rui's confidant, Shen Chang is naturally not a fool, hearing Prince Rui's arrangement, he immediately had a guess in his mind.

He took the letter, hesitated for a while and asked, "Is the lord planning to intervene in the affairs of Taihe Province?"

Prince Rui glanced at him and said: "It's not considered meddling, but it's just helping one or two secretly. Wang Chun has a solid foundation in Taihe, and Mu Xiuzhu may not be able to fight him. Even if the crown prince and Shen Lingze secretly help, it's nothing more than It's just barely supporting, not to mention there is still the Seventh Prince in the capital, I'm afraid Mu Xiuzhu is a little bit stretched now, if he doesn't help, this matter will end hastily."

The most important thing is that Shen Lingze also intervened in this matter, so he couldn't stand by and watch.

Shen Chang heard the words and responded respectfully, and walked out with the letter.

When Prince Rui and his son were talking, Su Jingning was also talking to Su Heng.

In the past few days, Mu Xiuzhu was impeached by the ministers, and Su Heng ran around in a hurry, but with little effect.

He is just a small editor, although noble, but has no real power, Mu Xiuzhu's matter is very involved, who would be so stupid as to care about him at this time.

Even my own family is far away.

Su Heng was so anxious that blisters formed at the corners of his mouth, and he was a little anxious, which is rare for people, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Your eldest uncle and second uncle are away from the mansion for the past two days. When they come back, father will ask them." Su Heng looked a little embarrassed and depressed.

Xu is annoyed by being asked, and now Su Xin and Su Cheng are somewhat avoiding Su Heng.

"Father, you don't need to ask any more." Su Jingning had already seen the true face of the Su family. It was only expected that the two uncles would not help!
"Uncle offended the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. What can the two uncles do to help? Why do you make things difficult for them!"

When Su Heng heard this, he was a little discouraged, "How can this be good, many colleagues are clamoring to ask the Holy Majesty to bring your uncle back for punishment!"

"The Holy Majesty didn't agree! It's just an argument now, and it's not time to convict!" Su Jingning comforted: "In the past few days, there has been a lot of calls from the people to ask the Holy Majesty to thoroughly investigate and deal with a corruption case. Will not disregard public opinion."

Su Heng felt a little relieved when he heard this. Fortunately, for some reason, the news of Mu Xiuzhu's handling of the case reached the ears of the people.

Ever since they heard that Mu Xiuzhu had arrested so many corrupt officials in order to seek justice for the people of Taihe, the people clapped their hands and praised Mu Xiuzhu as a good official who is upright and dedicated to the people.

At this moment, Mu Xiuzhu's reputation among the people was extremely high. Even if Emperor Wen Si wanted to deal with him, he had to consider the feelings of the people and not act rashly.

Su Jingning saw that Su Heng's face had improved a lot before asking: "Father, can I visit grandma and the others in these two days?"

Su Heng nodded: "Go, they are all fine, your grandmother told you not to worry.

They didn't go out recently, and the guards in the mansion also patrolled tightly. Even if there was trouble, they were quickly driven away. "

"Oh," Su Heng continued, "I would like to thank the second son of the Marquis of Wu'an, as well as General Qin."

"Second brother?" Su Jingning was a little surprised.

"Yes," Su Heng said with a smile on his face, "Second Young Master Xiao often brings guards to patrol around Mu's house, and General Qin often hangs around there, and no one dares to make trouble there for a while. "

Su Jingning felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard the words, she was not surprised that Xiao Er asked Shen Lingze for help, but Qin Huaiyu did it on his own will.

After Mu Xiuzhu's accident, she never contacted the Qin family again.

It was agreed to go to Qin's house as a guest, but of course it didn't happen.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyu went to Mu's house to help.

Sure enough, not everyone in this world is so cold and ruthless, there are still some people who will not be driven by profit and only show their sincerity to others.

Su Jingning frowned, and a smile appeared on her face.

She thought for a while, and then asked Su Heng: "Uncle something happened, did father go to Mr. Han for help?"

Su Heng nodded and sighed: "I found it. Your Uncle Han has also been running around begging for help recently, but he is just a small servant of the Ministry of Rites. Few people buy his face, so he can't help much."

Su Jingning sneered in her heart when she heard the words, a selfish person like Han Hui would only worry about the Mu family hurting him at this moment, how could he have the heart to run for the Mu family, it's almost as good as finding a way for himself.

Probably after finding out what she wanted to know, Su Jingning stopped staying at Su Heng's place, and got up to go to Su Jingyan's yard again.

She wanted to ask Su Jingyan for help with something.

When they entered the courtyard, Su Jingyan, who had been notified, had already come out ahead of time, and Meng He was still standing beside him.

Seeing Su Jingning, the two smiled at the same time.

"Why are third cousin and Mr. Meng standing outside?" Su Jingning and the two laughed after seeing the ceremony.

"My eyes hurt from reading, so I might as well go out with brother Meng for a few activities, and greet my third sister by the way." Su Jingyan replied with a smile, glanced at Meng He who was smiling shyly, and thought about it a little.

In fact, he didn't feel tired from reading. Sometimes he was so fascinated by reading that it was not enough for a whole day. This time it was Meng He who insisted on pulling him out, saying it was to take a rest.

"It should be a combination of work and rest. It is inevitable that you will be a little mentally exhausted if you keep reading." Su Jingning laughed.

Meng He nodded beside him.

The three said a few words in the yard and entered the house together.
