Rebirth of the famous family

Chapter 491 Profit (2)
That day at the end of the day, Yan Zongze went to the Duke's mansion to persuade Duke Su to detain Zhongyonghou and turn himself in for corruption. Su Guogong was old-fashioned and understood the principle of wanting to advance first, retreating first, and wanting to receive first, but Zhongyonghou was a minister of the Ministry of Industry. But he didn't want to ruin his future with his own hands at this moment, and because of Jin Yiduo's incident, he blamed Yan Zongze for protecting Jinse, and separated from the Duke's mansion, because he knew that Wen Qing brought the people who sued him to Beijing. He is even more unwilling to surrender himself, and even makes all kinds of sophistry, and he is unwilling to follow Su Guogong's wishes.If he is like this, Su Guogong can't force him to confess his guilt, so the matter has been shelved for the time being.

Now Zhongyong Hou's words showed that he had figured it out, and Duke Su's complexion improved slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Today's matter is not easy, you will pay respects to the empress as your father."

Only then did Zhongyong Hou bow and follow Su Guogong to Wan'an Palace where the Queen temporarily lived.When they arrived, the queen had just ordered the princess to take care of the prince and go back to rest. The hall was still brightly lit. The maid welcomed the two into the hall. I can't sleep peacefully, and my heart is terrified."

The queen saw Su Guogong's face was ugly, so she persuaded: "Father's words are serious, today's matter was originally to invite father and brother to discuss it."

But at this time, the palace maid came in and said: "Prince Wuying and the concubine want to see you."

The empress ordered the palace maids to welcome Jinse and the two of them in. After seeing the ceremony, Jinse smiled and said, "Your brother is fine. I'm afraid that the queen may miss you, so I came to say hello."

The queen called Jinse to her side and took her hand. Seeing her pale face, she said, "It's hard for you to be surprised twice today. You came just in time. I'm discussing today's affairs with the Duke and Zhongyonghou. What do Wei Wei think?"

Seeing the queen staring at him, Jinse said, "Whether it is the attack of the princess by the worm in the morning, or the incident of Wen Qing and the second master Jin being trapped in the fire, it all looks like what the concubine Xian and King Yu did. But if it is really Yu Wang, Chen Wei and Liu Sisi shouldn't be in danger together in the morning. After all, although the tiger has been specially domesticated, it is likely to lose control after being attacked. These years, King Yu served in the Ministry of Officials, and he took advantage of the prince's poor health. Alienated, the prince is far away from the great brocade, so he wins over the courtiers, forms a clique for personal gain, and adds a virtuous concubine from a famous family. Over the years, the favor has continued, and he has indeed won over many courtiers. But most of these courtiers are civil servants, and it is difficult to accomplish anything with only a pen. Standing in line easily, both Wei Yongbo and Marquis Feng An hold the military power, Concubine Xian managed to recruit these two in-laws to King Yu as a helper, if Chen Wei and Liu Sisi were injured by a big bug, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Is she not afraid that this matter will be known by the two families, and the family of in-laws will become an enemy again? Of course, it is also possible that King Yu deliberately did this to get rid of suspicion, but I think this possibility is very small, not to mention that the Imperial Guards are responsible for the safety of the Forbidden Garden. King Yu's hand may not be able to reach the imperial guards."

After Jin Se said, Su Guogong nodded and said: "This statement is reasonable. When the news of the tiger attacking the Huayang Princess was spread, the minister was by King Yu's side. Seeing that he was extremely surprised, it didn't seem like he was pretending. It's just Wen Qing in the afternoon. The matter with Brother Zhong must have been done by King Yu, just now when Brother Zhong woke up, the minister had already questioned him, and he said that he was instigated by the third young master of the Weixibo family to find trouble with Mr. My younger sister is the second wife of Westbury House."

Zhongyong Hou also said: "It must be King Yu who instigated Brother Zhong to shoot, so that people could shoot Mr. Yao and put the blame on Mr. Zhong. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yao was alert, and the secret guard wanted to kill Mr. Zhong again, and put the blame on Mr. Zhong." Mr. Yao, unexpectedly he fulfilled the entrustment of King Yu, but King Yu was not arbitrary. He tried to set fire to kill people, and also cut off the way for his brother Zhong to escape, but he made a wrong step. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yao would go back to the forest to rescue him. Brother Zhong."

Zhongyonghou said, got up, bowed to Jinse, and said: "Young Master Yao repays his grievances with virtue. Earlier, I was narrow-minded. I am really ashamed to blame Wang Hao and Young Master Yao. It is better for Wang Fei not to blame."

Jinse hurriedly got up to avoid it, and said: "The Duke's Mansion and the Wuying Prince's Mansion are both prosperous, and they are closely related. There were some misunderstandings before, and they were inevitably taken advantage of by those who cared. You don't need to blame yourself. Saving Mr. Jin is what Wen Qing should do, but I have some doubts about what Lord Marquis said just now..."

Seeing everyone's opinion, Jin Sefang smiled slightly and said: "It seems unreasonable for King Yu to make people set fire to the forest. Firstly, King Yu has no reason to kill Jin Erye and cut off his escape route. On the contrary, Jin Erye escaped with his life Only then can he accuse Yu Wenqing and make the Wangfu and the Duke's mansion vengeful. Next, if King Yu wants to kill the secret guard, there are thousands of ways. Setting fire to the forest and overgrowth, causing such a big commotion, that it has become so passive?"

Marquis Zhongyong was startled when he heard the words, and said: "As expected, the concubine is more thoughtful, so it is clear that someone wants to make the crown prince and King Yu fight, so that the fisherman can benefit from it!"

And someone who can have such a great ability is simply ready to come out.

Seeing that everyone's faces were heavy, Jinse said again: "The secret guard who shot Wen Qing and the second young master Jin must belong to King Yu, otherwise he would not rush to the scene of the fire to snatch people, but the big fire But it must have been released by a third person. The fire started so timely, it shows that that person has known about King Yu's plans, that is, there are people who have been buried beside Concubine Xian or King Yu, maybe that person People have been using this dark man to provoke the fight between the prince and King Yu for many years..."

Although Jinse didn't say who the beneficiary was, everyone knew it.If the emperor really acts like this, it means that the Duke's Mansion is already a thorn in his side. At this moment, Duke Su and Zhongyong Hou are glad that they didn't insist on Jin Yiduo as Princess Wuying back then.
