After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 1067 Calm down
Haijiao calmed down and thought about what he could do.

He was very clear about the evidence of the son-in-law's crime in his previous life, but it was at least ten years later. Even if there was an "old case", given the changes in the current situation in the court and the opposition, I'm afraid it would not be accurate and could not be used by him. All he could do now was to find out the other party's new evidence of crime so as to find an opportunity to bring him down.

However, the son-in-law of the Minister's Mansion is still young and is just an insignificant official in the six ministries. He is usually watched by his superiors and colleagues, so he may not be able to do anything big. If he wants to let go of his hands and feet to embezzle and pervert the law, he will probably have to wait until he is sent to serve as an official in a remote place. By then, the emperor will be far away, and as long as his Yue family is still standing firm in the court, he can act unscrupulously.

Do I have to wait ten years or so to avenge my past life? !

The more Haijiao thought about it, the more anxious he became. He felt that he could not wait until then, so he decided to deal with his enemy's father-in-law first. It just so happened that the minister had just settled down and couldn't help but want to make trouble, which annoyed the new emperor and Queen Mother Xu. However, whether it was an excuse made up by the latter, he could take it seriously, so he tried to collect evidence of the minister's crime and relieve the emperor's worries!

If he could make another contribution, perhaps his career would be smoother.

Haitang saw that her brother seemed a little impatient, so she comforted him and said, "Brother, impatience can easily lead to mistakes, calm down. Now the enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. He doesn't know that we are watching him, and thinks that the rumors of the Shanhaiwei corruption case have passed, so he can do something in secret. We can catch him in the act and make him unable to refute. This time he is asking for death. If the new monarch does not exclude dissidents, even the remnants of the Sun faction cannot find any reason. The new monarch can just eliminate a traitor with ulterior motives, and at the same time demote or dismiss the other officials related to him, and clear them out of the court! This is the general trend! Not only does it conform to the wishes of the palace, but even the civil and military ministers in the court, as well as the officials of Yongping Prefecture and Shanhaiwei, will support you!"

Hai Jiao took a deep breath and said, "Little sister, you are right. The more it is at a time like this, the more I cannot be anxious! His backers have revealed their true colors, and he is about to jump into the pit he dug. Once his backers fall, he will be like a grasshopper in autumn, and he will never be able to jump up again! When the time comes, it will be easy for me to deal with him, so why should I be anxious?!"

His attention was still on the corrupt official who killed him in his previous life. Haitang could only helplessly advise him: "Brother, even if the Minister's Mansion has fallen, you must follow the rules when dealing with your enemies and not let anyone find fault with you. You have finally got a bright future in this life, and you are about to marry your sweetheart and live a happy life. How can you risk ruining your future for a little guy like him?!"

Haijiao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. He was a little scared, and sweat broke out on his back: "Little sister, thank goodness for you. If I really did something against the rules for revenge because of impulse, and was discovered, then my life would be ruined, it's really not worth it!" Although he had a hard life in his previous life, he at least had the hope of getting out of it, but was ruined by his enemies. In this life, he has such a wonderful life, family, love, friendship, study, future... All the regrets have been made up, how can he let his life be ruined by his enemies again? !
That kind of person is born a bad person. Even if he loses his backer, he will not stop doing bad things. He will eventually catch the other party's handle. Why should he be anxious? Why should he be anxious? !

Hai Jiao took a few more deep breaths and felt that his mind had completely calmed down. He then said, "Since this enemy has colluded with the Sun family for a long time, maybe he is already entangled with the Sun family now, but the world has not noticed it. I will find a way to find out. As long as he has really done something he shouldn't have done, I will sue him when his Yue family falls, and I guarantee that he will suffer the same misfortune as his Yue family! Every one of the people in the Sun faction has a grudge against the new emperor and Queen Mother Xu. I don't believe that the new emperor and Queen Mother Xu will let him go if they know that he is harboring evil in his heart!"

By then, the ministers in the court would only think that this person was implicated by the Yue family and would not even think of going to the reef.

Seeing that Haijiao was no longer impulsive, Haitang felt relieved. She thought for a moment before saying, "I just wrote a letter to Brother Jin. If he is not at home, I may not hear back until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. When he replies, I will ask him about the palace's true attitude towards the Minister's Mansion. If the palace also thinks that the Minister's Mansion is dishonest, you can collect evidence and just send it to the higher-ups. You don't have to worry about the rest."

Haijiao nodded, then realized something was wrong: "Why did you write to Xiaojin?" After Jin Jiashu came to Beijing this time, the correspondence between them stopped. If there was something, he would come to ask directly, and there was no need for Haitang to write to inform him. Now that the New Year was approaching, Haitang, the little sister, knew that Jin Jiashu was likely to enter the palace, so why did she write to him for no reason?
He asked again, "Who did you send to deliver the letter?"

Haitang coughed and said, "They are the boys you ordered to run errands for the family. Didn't my brother say that they are tight-lipped and I can safely order them to do private things?"

Haijiao looked at Xiaomei in silence. The "private business" he asked those young men to do actually meant that Xiaomei wanted to buy small items such as stationery and clothing materials. It would be better to find a local errand boy who was familiar with the capital than to send the servants at home. He never thought of asking them to deliver love letters to Xiaomei and her future brother-in-law! Although he believed that those errand boys would not talk nonsense, it would always make people feel uncomfortable if outsiders knew about this kind of thing...

Haitang blinked at her brother and said innocently, "I didn't say anything in the letter. It's just that Grandpa Lu is in a bad mood right now, so I informed Brother Jin and asked him to find something to distract Grandpa Lu, so that he won't be too idle at home and always have wild thoughts..."

Hai Jiao was silent for a moment, sighed inwardly, and decided to let Xiaomei go this time: "Grandpa Lu is still worried about the Lu family, right? I'm afraid the Lu family is really beyond saving. Grandpa Lu's own children and grandchildren are fine, but his cousin is doomed to die. The Sun family's case is still under trial, and the progress is slow because it involves many people, but the Lu family's case is progressing rapidly, and no one is stopping it. They first attached themselves to the Sun family and offended the loyal ministers and generals in the court; then, in order to protect themselves, they betrayed the Sun faction's allies and offended their own party. Now they are not pleasing to both sides, no matter which faction they are from, they wish they would die as soon as possible. If it weren't for the cabinet's Tao Ge Lao who insisted on only punishing the main culprit and not implicate the innocent, I'm afraid the entire Lu family would have fallen. At the moment, it seems that women, children and side branches who have not committed any crime should have a way to survive. If they are lucky, they can return to their hometown to farm and study. If they are unlucky, they will just be exiled to another place."

After Lu Bainian was exiled, he lived a hard life for more than 30 years. The Lu family abandoned him in exchange for more than 30 years of prosperity and wealth. Now it is time for him to taste the suffering he had endured. That is the cycle of cause and effect, and it is as it should be.
