Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1317 This is a show of force!

A hand stretched out from behind the curtain and twisted the letter away with its long finger bones.

The confidant immediately brought the candle over and approached the curtain.

The letter was opened with a rustling sound of paper.

After a while, Yuan Wu's meaningful laughter came again: "I have changed my mind. There is no harm in taking a trip to Jiangbei."

The confidant looked puzzled, and then the letter was handed out.

When he took it in his hand and took a look, he couldn't help but admire: "Qin Fengye always shocks his subordinates."

"It's not just pure greed. He actually came up with such a vicious method and prepared to quickly realize the proceeds of corruption in the most direct and effective way."

Yuan Wu sneered: "I'm crazy for thinking about money. I'm a lunatic. But just because I'm a lunatic, I can use it easily."

The confidant bowed: "Master, please tell me."

Yuan Wu said: "Bai Mingwei is very thoughtful. This matter will definitely not be hidden from her for long. In addition, Xiao Chongyuan's departure for Jiangbei will make her even more powerful."

"We have lost too many manpower and are not as capable as before, but we are not unable to do anything."

"Bai Mingwei can guard against all conspiracies and tricks, but he cannot guard against the evil of people's hearts. All we need to do is add fuel to the fire behind the scenes, and it will definitely have an unexpected effect."

The confidant held the letter close to the candle flame.

The thin paper was burned away bit by bit by the flames.

But the word "epidemic" is clearly visible.

Obviously, the things mentioned in the letter are related to someone cultivating the disease in Jiangbei.

Even Yuan Wu had never thought of such a vicious method.

No wonder Yuan Wu, who originally decided to stand still after reading the letter, chose to intervene.

Seeing the letter being burned, his confidant respectfully asked for instructions: "Master, please give me your instructions."

Yuan Wu did not explain it directly, but asked: "Do you still remember how the great epidemic in Beiyan came about a few years ago?"

The confidant smiled knowingly: "Animals."

Yuan Wu said quietly: "Go ahead, you know what to do."

The confidant quietly stepped back.

Peace returned to the house.

……

The next morning.

After Bai Mingwei explained everything, he asked people to carry Yu Jianling onto a soft sedan, preparing to set off back to Licheng.

The town is not far from Licheng, and you can get there in an hour with a quick walk.

But because the bumps would make Yu Jianling's condition worse, they walked extremely slowly, and it took them a full two hours to arrive at Licheng to meet Liu Yao.

Yu Jianling was sent directly to his room to recuperate.

Bai Mingwei went to see Liu Yao. Before she could sit down and talk to Liu Yao, Liu Yao's confidants hurried over.

"Your Highness, the people from the court are here!"

Liu Yao nodded slightly: "I understand, go down."

In fact, they had already received news that officials from the imperial court were about to rush to Jiangbei.

They did not dwell too much on this unchangeable fact and waited patiently for the arrival of court officials.

I never thought that this man could walk very quickly and reach Licheng so quickly.

"General." Liu Yao's calm voice sounded, "You can go about your business, I will handle this person."

Bai Ming slightly cupped his hands: "Yes, Your Highness."

After saying that, she withdrew.

As soon as she went out, she saw Cheng Bi coming up to her.

"Miss!"

The little gray ferret quickly jumped out of Bai Mingwei's arms, jumped onto Cheng Bi's shoulders and squatted down.

Bai Ming raised the corners of his lips slightly: "It's so frizzy."

Cheng Bi smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I am happy to see you back."

Bai Mingwei asked: "Is everything okay during this period?"

Cheng Bi kept nodding: "Everything is fine. His Highness and Mr. Meng don't use the slaves very much, so the slaves are not busy."

Bai Ming smiled slightly: "The prince is injured, and I have to trouble you to take good care of him recently. No matter how loyal the guard is, he can't be more meticulous than you."

Cheng Bi agreed without hesitation: "Since it is the young lady's order, I will do my best."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "The prince has just been sent to the room. You have to follow the doctor's instructions on daily dressing changes and so on. Go ahead." "Yes, Miss." Cheng Bi saluted and left.

Bai Mingwei was walking in the winding corridor. As she walked, she asked, "Ah Liu, after Fan Zhizhou was arrested, did anything unusual happen to his family members?"

Ah Liu's voice came from the darkness, but no one was seen:
"Back to the girl, her wife came here several times with her family members, wanting to intercede with the Ninth Prince on behalf of Fan Zhizhou, but the Ninth Prince did not see them."

Bai Mingwei heard the words and said without hesitation: "Go to Fan Zhizhou quietly and make it look like he committed suicide, but don't let him die."

Ah Liu was puzzled: "An illusion of suicide?"

Bai Mingwei asked: "Do you have any questions?"

Ah Liu spoke cautiously: "My subordinates thought that it was up to them to 'assassinate' Fan Zhizhou, so that Fan Zhizhou would think that the superiors were going to silence him, and then he would confess honestly."

Bai Ming shook his head slightly: "If it were my grandfather who was sitting in Jiangbei at this moment, this method might still work."

"But your highness and I are both dealing with corruption cases for the first time. As Qin Fengyebu's confidant in Jiangbei, Fan Zhizhou's spirit cannot be broken down so easily when facing us."

Ah Liu suddenly realized: "This subordinate knows the girl's plan."

Bai Ming curled his lips slightly: "Since we can't start from Fan Zhizhou and disintegrate it from the inside, then we should find another way and solve it from the outside."

"Currently, several important officials, as well as Fan Zhizhou, are under strict supervision by His Highness and cannot have contact with the outside world. If there is news that he attempted suicide, the outside world will definitely be upset."

"As long as they take action, they can be used by us. When the outer layer falls apart and only Fan Zhizhou persists, what's the use?"

Ah Liu received the order: "I will take care of it immediately."

Bai Mingwei didn't say anything else. She continued to walk forward, passed through the corridor, and arrived at the backyard.

At this time, she was not in a hurry, because she was sure that the person she wanted to see would take the initiative to appear in front of her.

at the same time.

The guard of honor of the official sent by the imperial court also fell on the place where everyone stayed.

An official over forty years old opened the sedan curtain and stepped down from the sedan.

Officials from Youli City came to greet him: "Your Excellency, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The official who came with the disaster relief funds this time was none other than Zhang Jingkun, the Minister of Punishment.

His official position is the second rank of Cong, and his title is higher than Liu Yao's third rank Censor of the City, Bai Mingwei's third rank Zhenbei General, and Bai Yu's fourth rank Censor of the Ministry of War.

The meaning of Emperor Yuan Zhen's sending him here is self-evident. He was to use him to restrain Liu Yao and Bai Mingwei.

According to Emperor Yuan Zhen's temperament, the move of businessmen becoming officials already made him unhappy.

Despite the Queen Mother's mediation, he still could not let go of Liu Yao and Bai Mingwei.

Sending a second-grade official is both a form of suppression and a warning.

Suppress Liu Yao and Bai Mingwei and prevent them from having absolute say in Jiangbei.

At the same time, he also warned the two of them that they must know how to advance and retreat in everything. He is the real Nine-Five Lord. Don't overstep the duty of a minister or do anything beyond his duty.

As expected, the Minister of Justice was not a pleasant person either.

He glanced at the officials who came to greet him, and then walked past them without any pretense.

After entering the post house, he said: "Take me to see His Highness Ninth Prince."

It's "see", not "visit".

It can be seen that he made his attitude very clear from the beginning.

In the meeting hall, Liu Yao and several subordinate officials were already waiting there.

He sat at the head of the table and saw someone striding in from a distance, followed by several attendants.

"Your Majesty Zhang Jingkun, please see His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Liu Yao said softly: "Shilang Zhang has come a long way and it's hard work. Please stay calm. There is no need to be polite."

Zhang Jingkun straightened up and looked at Liu Yao.

What he said next caused the officials on the left and right who saluted him to break into a cold sweat.

"Your Highness Ninth, I heard that some officials were detained in the cell, but they have not been brought to trial so far. I would like to ask Your Highness Ninth to quickly bring them out to you for trial!"

No relief money was handed over, nor was he informed of the authority granted to him by Emperor Yuan Zhen.

These were the words that came out of his mouth.

It can be seen that his attitude is arrogant and tough, and he does not take Liu Yao as the imperial envoy in his eyes.

Chapter 1317 This is a show of force!

The subordinate officials who were sweating coldly looked at Liu Yao one after another, and couldn't help but guess in their hearts, can His Highness Ma Weijiu catch it this time?

If he can't take it, then the next affairs in Jiangbei may be decided by Zhang Shilang.
