Simultaneous travel: Each of me has a different golden finger

Chapter 191 The Secret of Body Movement
Hearing this, Bai Jing smiled and said, "Aunt is in charge of the inner treasury, but logically speaking, her power is only in the realm of financial power, so she really shouldn't know about this.

On the other hand, the First Division of the Inspection Bureau is responsible for monitoring all matters, big and small, both in and outside the capital, and this matter should be within their scope of authority and responsibility."

Lin Ruofu was slightly surprised and said, "You mean..."

"This matter came out of my mouth and entered your ears. It must not be known to outsiders."

“That’s true…”

Even with Lin Ruofu's status, he was somewhat surprised to hear this secret.

The Inspection Office has the duty to inspect all officials. It is above all other officials and can be said to be the largest power institution in the Qing Kingdom.

Emperor Qing has always strictly prohibited anyone in the royal family from interfering with the Inspection Institute. The eldest princess's action has already exceeded her authority. If Emperor Qing knew about this, he would be furious.

"Where did you get this news?"

Lin Ruofu said solemnly.

"I have my own channels of information, so there is no need for you to ask."

Bai Jing smiled.

"It seems that you are also a capable person, and you hide it very well."

Lin Ruofu looked at Bai Jing deeply.

He used to think, like all the civil and military officials in Kyoto, that among the three princes, Bai Jing's hope of becoming the crown prince was the slimmest.

But now it seems that they underestimated Bai Jing.

This kind of information could be said to be the eldest princess' fatal handle. Even her ally, the crown prince, might not know it, but Bai Jing found out about it.

Apart from anything else, Lin Ruofu, as the head of the civil servants, didn't hear any news at all.

From this we can see that Bai Jing is not simple.

Bai Jing smiled but said nothing.

"I'll just speak my mind to some personal matters."

Lin Ruofu said.

"Please say."

“I didn’t think highly of you in the past, so I was wavering between you and Wan’er.

The matter of seizing the throne is extremely dangerous, and I dare not rashly sacrifice my Lin Mansion to help you."

"My nephew can understand."

Bai Jing nodded slightly. He was not some invincible protagonist who was born into the world. It was impossible for him to make others bow down to him.

"But the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a matter of time. If I, Lin Ruofu, don't surrender before the new emperor takes the throne, I will have too much power in my hands and will inevitably end up being liquidated afterwards."

Lin Ruofu's words were meant to prepare for a rainy day. When a new emperor ascends the throne, the court will be reshuffled and power changes will occur frequently.

There were three ministers in the Kingdom of Qing who were allowed to sit in court without bowing. Lin Ruofu was one of them. He could be said to be a very high-ranking official.

With such tremendous power as that of a prime minister, even the current Emperor Qing would be suspicious, let alone the future new emperor.

"Your Highness, Third Prince, are you willing to ensure that the Lin Mansion will prosper for a hundred years?"

Lin Ruofu looked at Bai Jing, and what he said was already very clear.

Lin Ruofu made up his mind to bet on Bai Jing and help him win the throne!

"It's what you wish for!"

Bai Jing looked serious.

"Okay! In that case, let's talk about Wan'er's marriage.

Wan'er's husband will be the one who controls the financial power of the inner treasury in the future.

The eldest princess did not want this power to fall into the hands of others. According to that crazy woman, it would be best for Wan'er to remain single for her entire life.

But since she has connections with the Inspection Institute, it is not impossible for you and I to manipulate the emperor to strip her of her power and then marry Wan'er to you."

Lin Ruofu planned the road for Bai Jing.

Emperor Qing is fond of the crown prince ascending the throne, and the second prince and Bai Jing are both whetstones.

In Lin Ruofu's view, weakening the prince is something that must be done.

Perhaps it was because of this news that Lin Ruofu saw the hope of dethroning the crown prince that he changed his mind and assisted Bai Jing. "Uncle, you don't need to worry about this matter.

The entire Inspection Institute was under the control of Chen Pingping, and he knew that there was a spy in one of their places.

I made a deal with Chen Pingping before. I asked Elder Meng to treat Fan Xian, and in exchange, he had to help me disrupt Wan'er's marriage."

Lin Ruofu suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder you came to Fan's house in person before.

I originally thought you were going to do whatever it took to win this guy over, but I didn't expect you had reached a deal with Chen Pingping."

Lin Ruofu felt it was strange again and muttered, "Fan Xian, Fan Xian... who exactly is this person?

I only know that Chen Pingping admires him very much, but I don’t know why.”

Chen Pingping's friendship with Fan Jian is not as good as that with Fan Xian. This is indeed very strange.

Besides, how could an illegitimate child who has been raised in Danzhou for many years be related to a big shot like the Dean of the Inspection Bureau?

Bai Jing smiled mysteriously and said, "Uncle, do you really want to know?"

Lin Ruofu narrowed his eyes slightly, his sense of smell as an old fox told him that there must be a huge secret.

"If you want to live long in this court, you shouldn't know too many passwords. If someone else asks me, I will say I'm not interested.

But you asked me, and I want to find out.

First of all, I am indeed a little curious.

Secondly, you and I should have some common secrets to maintain our relationship."

"Uncle, it's a good idea. I hope you don't regret it. Otherwise, you will blame me for being too talkative later."

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu's heart skipped a beat. This secret might be bigger than he had thought. But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.

"Tell me, I have seen all kinds of storms and waves."

"Uncle, do you know Ye Qingmei?"

Bai Jing asked.

"It's well-known. The business she founded became the Royal Business, and the Inspection Institute she founded overwhelmed the entire Qing Kingdom.

Even the prosperity of Dongyi City is closely related to her.

According to rumors at the time, the emperor, Chen Pingping, and Fan Jian had a very good personal relationship, and Ye Qingmei was also involved in the emperor's smooth ascension to the throne.

However, more than ten years ago, she suddenly disappeared miraculously, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth, and has been lost since then.

It seems that what happened back then was done by the Queen's faction. Chen Pingping happened to be away from Kyoto at that time. After he came back, he led the Black Cavalry to massacre the entire Kyoto.

How, is she related to Fan Xian?"

Lin Ruofu asked casually.

Bai Jing raised his lips and said, "Why don't we assume a situation.

If Ye Qingmei had a child the year she disappeared, then the child would be as old as Fan Xian now."

Lin Ruofu's brows twitched.

"It seems to be true...the personal relationship between several people, the illegitimate son of the Fan family, Chen Pingping values ​​him, so that's it."

"Uncle, why don't you guess again who Fan Xian's father is."

"Chen Pingping is impossible. If Fan Xian is Fan Jian's child, why did they declare him an illegitimate child and raise him in Danzhou?"

Lin Ruofu thought of a possibility and his pupils dilated slightly.

"This is truly... a shocking secret!"

…………

That afternoon, Lin Gong got on a carriage and left Kyoto.

"Second Young Master, why is the schedule so rushed? And you only brought a few of us with you. I'm afraid your safety may not be guaranteed."

A trace of fatigue flashed across Lin Gong's eyes, and he said to his followers, "I would like to stay in Kyoto for a few more days, but unfortunately, the incident happened suddenly and there is nothing I can do.

You guys are all seventh-grade masters. If you work together, even if an eighth-grade master attacks, you can force him back. It’s okay.”
