After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 337 Accomplices
Seeing that Yu Wenji had no other reaction, Zhao Shun continued talking.

"The minister pursued all the way, and found that the murderer who committed the crime was actually Mr. Cai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although Mr. Cai was guilty of serious crimes according to the court law, but thinking that he is a member of His Royal Highness, the minister did not continue to investigate, but came to the door specially. Remind Master Cai to restrain himself."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenji didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his opinion, it was normal for the lackeys under the door to give each other some favors.

However, Zhao Shun's expression gradually became angry, and he said angrily: "But, unexpectedly, Master Cai not only did not restrain himself from reminding Weichen, but even kidnapped Weicheng's wife this morning, if it wasn't for Weichen Arrive in time, I'm afraid she has been murdered."

Hearing this, even Yu Wenji's eyebrows twitched, Cai Quan, you are so worthless, you won't even let your own wife be spared.

"Where is the other person? Bring him here, and I will give you a good breath of anger!" Yu Wenji slapped the table heavily with his hand.

Zhao Shun hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid Cai Quan won't be able to bring him here, at most he can only bring him in?"

Yu Wenji's expression changed, and he asked quickly, "Did you kill him?"

From Yu Wenji's point of view, although Cai Quan has done too much, he is not guilty of death. After all, he has helped him make countless fortunes, and he has worked hard without credit.

Zhao Shun hastily clasped his fists together, "His Royal Highness, the second-rank official of the imperial court violated the law, and according to the law, he should be handed over to the third division for interrogation. Naturally, I dare not kill him, but..."

"But what?" Looking at Zhao Shun's hesitant expression, Yu Wenji knew that the matter was not over yet.

Zhao Shun let out a long sigh, and asked, "Do you still remember, Your Highness, that an hour ago, you granted the royal order to the wife of the humble minister, and also wrote her contribution on the imperial list?"

"Of course I remember." Yuwen was a little puzzled, Cai Quan's matter was also related to this matter.

Zhao Shun raised his head and looked at Yuwenji, "When the people in the capital heard that Weichen's wife had been taken away, they were furious and said they wanted to punish the murderer. Since Mr. Cai was not wearing an official uniform, he was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment on the way to escort him. The people were beaten to death."

Yu Wenji: "..."

After listening to Zhao Shun's description, Yuwen was extremely speechless. It turned out that Cai Quan's death was somewhat willing to him.

Even if he was dissatisfied with Cai Quan's death, Yu Wenji would not blame himself.

"Then let's die if he dies. It's retribution for him to behave like this."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shun hurriedly stood up and saluted again, "The humble minister failed to perform the duty of escort, and failed to protect Lord Cai's safety, so I ask the regent to come down..."

Yu Wenji shook his head, "You are not responsible for this matter, your wife is also a victim, so don't bring it up again, you should go back and rest first."

Zhao Shun lowered his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The humble minister will leave first."

After Zhao Shun left, Yu Wenji recruited Gao Bing in again, feeling rather irritable.

"Jiang Bieyu was hired for the vacancy in the Imperial Academy just now, and now there is another vacancy in the Ministry of Officials, who should be filled?"

For those unimportant official positions, Yuwenji would not care how the subordinates made troubles, but the official department is different. The official department supports and adjusts the positions of hundreds of officials, which is an important means for Yuwenji to control the court. If he is not someone he absolutely trusts, he will not would easily be placed in that position.

Gao Bing rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, what do you think about letting Mr. Meng take charge of the official department?"

"he?"

Thinking of Meng Jin, Yu Wenji loves and hates him at the same time. He loves him for his seriousness, but hates him for his lack of vision and seriousness in everything.

"Do you have two jobs?" Yu Wenji hesitated for a moment.

Meng Jin himself is the Minister of the Household Department, plus a Ministry of Officials, can this really work?

Before Gao Bing spoke, he smiled, "His Royal Highness, the household department itself is your money bag, and the official department is similar. Instead of handing it over to someone who is not at ease, it is better to let the conscientious Mr. Meng manage the official department. It’s nothing more than two purses put together.”

Yuwen judged carefully, it seems that this is the case.

"What you said makes sense, so let's do it."

Boredom is boredom, Yu Wenji still trusts Meng Jin very much, other subordinates will be less greedy after making money, Yu Wenji just turns a blind eye to this, and he has to let the people below drink some soup even if he is full just work.

However, only Meng Jin has never been greedy for ink for so many years, but constantly strives to do something for the people.

After Zhao Shun left the palace, he came to Xiao Xuangu's tea house.

Just like before, after waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Xuangu walked out of the secret passage with a lantern.

As soon as Xiao Xuangu saw Zhao Shun, he smiled and said: "I already know what you did. Although it is a dangerous move, the effect is remarkable. Back then, you chose to break into Yuwenji's interior for this move. Not bad...”

Zhao Shun smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, this matter is all due to my wife."

Speaking of Shen Xian, Xiao Xuangu touched the white jade bracelet in his bosom, a little curious about the mysterious Shen Xian.

But since it was agreed not to pursue Shen Xian's matter, Xiao Xuangu did not plan to ask Zhao Shun in private.

No matter what kind of secrets Shen Xian possesses, in Xiao Xuangu's view, as long as he sincerely assists Zhao Shun, it will be a good thing.

The uncle and nephew took a sip of hot tea, and Zhao Shun said slowly, "Although Cai Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has been eliminated, if Yu Wenji installs someone more troublesome, our work will be in vain."

Xiao Xuangu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't you know? Yu Wenji has ordered Meng Jin, Minister of the Household Department, to also be in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and now he holds two positions."

Zhao Shun was quite surprised when he heard the news. Yu Wenji believed in Meng Jin so much, and handed over the two most important parts to Meng Jin.

"If it's him, maybe we don't have to worry about it." Zhao Shun said slowly.

Xiao Xuangu had a good influence on Meng Jin. Although Meng Jin belonged to the Yuwenji camp, he had never seen him do anything harmful to nature, and he was even working for the well-being of the people.

"That being said, how can we get him to do things for us?" Xiao Xuangu asked himself.

Zhao Shun pondered for a moment, "Based on my observation of Meng Jin, he seems to be dissatisfied with Yuwenji as well. As long as we can persuade him to join us, overthrowing Yuwenji is just around the corner."

Xiao Xuangu felt that this behavior was a bit risky. Once Meng Jin was unwilling to cooperate and told Yu Wenji about the matter, then all plans would be wasted.

"If you are not very sure about this matter, don't try it lightly, otherwise, uncle and I have the iron certificate of the Dan book to protect our lives, but you and Shen Xian will flee to the ends of the world."

"I understand."
