Confused country poison concubine

Chapter 96
But she doesn't care who cleans up the mess, as long as she can find a way to control the deterioration of the situation, she doesn't ask about the process, only about the result, not to mention that Zhou Yu is honest this time, and even told her the inside story.

Therefore, this time, Qiu Yebai's face softened slightly, and the look on Zhou Yu's face was not so sharp and cold, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "Let's see that the Ministry of Wind is now in the midst of employing people. When we are in the same boat to overcome difficulties, Captain Zhou doesn't have to Belittle yourself."

The Zhou family was quite capable, able to suppress the members of the Wind Chasing Department even when they were dead. Only Governor Zheng Jun could make Zheng Jun sell such a big face, which shows that there are many places that can be used in the future.

"That's right, your injury is much better?" Qiu Yebai eased her tone, and she didn't mind trying to show him some face for someone who could be used in the future.

He had been intimidated, threatened, and ridiculed by Qiu Yebai all the time, but now he suddenly received her warm words of condolences, Zhou Yu was a little flattered, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, it has improved a lot."

"That's good, since that's the case, let's take a good look at the next step." Qiu Yebai smiled faintly, and glanced at the baby: "I heard that Chief Jiang has some contacts in the market, and asked about a lot of things. "

The baby understood immediately, and asked Xiao Yanzi to go to his room to bring over the specific information on the Huainan robbery he had collected during this period, and explained it to Qiu Yebai and the others in detail.

The so-called Huainan means that after going out of Gyeonggi, follow the Grand Canal all the way south to the land of Jianghuai, which is only three days away from Gyeonggi. After the canal is dug through, most of the government and private materials in the capital will travel by water, which saves time and effort.

Originally, the canal passed through several state capitals along the way, and some local snakes would take advantage of it, but because this waterway is not only for civilian use, but also for official use, the official control is still relatively strong. Generally, even if some local snakes along the way are extorting , It's all small troubles.

But in the past two years, they didn't know that there were some water bandits popping up in Huainan.

Since these water bandits did not move much, and they all robbed small civilian boats, and the water situation in Huainan area is complicated, and it is closer to Liangshan, where some green forest figures love to hang out, so the government's investigation is not particularly intensive. After killing one or two small thieves and beating those water bandits, they have an explanation to Shangfeng and the public opinion.

Over the past two years, those water bandits have gradually become the forces of the separatist side, and the boats they use have gradually turned from small traders to big households in the capital, but they have never used official boats, so although the government's crackdown has been stronger, But still painlessly.

Until recently, those water bandits became more and more courageous, and even moved the goods of the Mei family in the capital. The Mei family is an imperial merchant, and all they transported were tributes. If the tributes were robbed, it is naturally impossible for the government to be as perfunctory as usual .

Immediately, a royal history book bluntly stated that the government along the way condoned the water bandits to rob houses. As for this, someone must have colluded with the bandits and worked in collusion. Agency officials went down to inspect and supervise the handling.

But this matter is really tricky, if it is not done well, it is a big mistake, and if it is done well, it may not be meritorious, so all the yamen in the capital that are related to this matter practice Tai Chi, and finally it falls on the head of the chief of ceremonies.

After all, the Supervisor of Rituals is also known as a supervisor and scout, isn't he?

After hearing the ins and outs of the case, Qiu Yebai was silent for a while, tapped his fingertips on the table, and suddenly looked at Zhou Yu: "Master Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu was stunned. He had been ignorant for many years, and no one had asked his opinion on such a serious matter.

But since Qiu Yebai asked, he thought for a while and said, "I thought, this is a bit strange."

Hearing this, the baby felt a little annoyed, and looked at him contemptuously: "Oh, brother Zhou, what do you think is strange?"

What can this ignorant dude be able to see, that he is questioning his intelligence gathering ability!

Zhou Yu didn't notice that the baby's expression was wrong, but touched the string of beads on his wrist, and said hesitantly: "This Mei family is an imperial merchant, and everyone knows it, and the backstage of the Mei family is actually the Du family. The Supervisor of Rituals is also a power in the hands of the Empress Dowager. If the Mei family wants to investigate this matter to the end, then it should not be known to everyone. Instead, it should be reported secretly to the Empress Dowager and let other yamen take over. , After all, if this matter is not handled well, it is at least a crime of ineffective investigation!"

The baby was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that there were some things that he hadn't found. He frowned and said, "The backstage of the Mei family is the Du family, are you really sure?"

Zhou Yu nodded, looked at Qiu Yebai and Baobao firmly, and said, "That's right, not many people know about it, I still had a meeting with my brother-in-law...uh... Du Qian didn't know when he went to Hualou. At that time, I ordered a girl to go to the room to rest, but then I drank too much and my stomach was really uncomfortable, so I went out to the garden and vomited a round, and I had no objections in the garden. President Du Qian and the Mei family When I met with the housekeeper, I knew about it."

Qiu Yebai pondered for a moment when he heard the words. If Zhou Yu's information is not wrong, then this matter is a bit strange. After all, the supervisor of ceremonies is no longer the heyday of the day when it was rampant in the world. The prison is in the hands of the opponents of the imperial court, and the supervisor of ceremonies will definitely be severely suppressed.

Not to mention others, but Bailichu would not let the Supervisor of Rituals have good fruit in the first place. This batch of red power was originally in the hands of the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Rituals, but now it is in the hands of Bailichu. He grasped the important affairs of the government, and the queen mother was ostracized, so he could only do a little tricks on other things, and his teeth must be itching with hatred.

Over the past few years, the two sides have had a long-standing grievance, and the Crane Supervisor and the Rites Supervisor have long been at odds.

So how could the queen mother shoot herself in the foot?
"Could it be that the case of the water bandits was a special raft made by someone just to deal with the Queen Mother? If so, the case would be difficult, and it would be difficult to investigate it or not. No wonder the governor threw this case out as an introduction. When you think about it, we will be the scapegoats!" Bao Bao snorted coldly.

Abandoning an insignificant spectator to cover the charge of ineffective investigation, and then save the entire supervisor of ceremonies.

Qiu Yebai frowned slightly, Baobao's speculation was the result she was least willing to see—whether it was the enemy or her own people, they all played their own game, each with malicious intentions, and they saw that the wind was facing the enemy, because they had already been selected. A good offering to push out.

If this is the case, then it is absolutely impossible for the Wind Department to be abolished. Some people will definitely be accused and sent to prison because of poor investigation.

And it seems that her newly appointed President Qian is the designated scapegoat. If the enemies of the Du family set up this trap to attack the Du family, then they will definitely not allow it to be played on her and the Ministry of Watching the Wind. A co-investigator who is unfavorable and deprived of his official position is given a light sentence for a crime that will be overthrown within one or two years.
