My father is Jiajing

Chapter 316 You Are My Dad

The Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Censorate handled cases quite quickly.

After all, there were indeed no dead people in the workers' sheds and dormitories outside Chongwenmen. Even if these detectives and censors dug three feet deep into the dormitories, they could not find a trace of biological tissue belonging to the dead.

In addition, when compared with the roster later obtained from the Ministry of Industry and the Urban Construction Bureau, there was no missing person. Therefore, if we really want to force Hai Rui to be guilty of concealing the matter, destroying the bodies, and misrepresenting people as sheep, it is absolutely untenable.

Therefore, this major case in the capital that had been rumored to have a great impact ended in such a whimper.

Originally, Hai Rui wanted to take this opportunity to give Yan Shifan a vivid lesson on Ming Dynasty rule of law.

Unfortunately, the opponent was too strong, and Yan Song saw through Hai Rui's intention in an instant, and directly stopped Yan Shifan from speaking.

Emperor Jiajing also reacted quickly. Although the excitement was fun, it could not affect the overall situation.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing stopped the matter there and did not give Hai Rui any chance to continue questioning Yan Shifan.

However, Emperor Jiajing would not let it go like this.

After all, some of Yan Shifan's actions had touched the bottom line of Emperor Jiajing. On the surface, it seemed that he was pursuing Hai Rui relentlessly, but in reality, the target of attack was Prince Yu who was behind Hai Rui.

This was something Emperor Jiajing could not tolerate.

If Yan Shifan was only using the title of Prince Jing to compete with Prince Yu, Emperor Jiajing would not care.

Anyway, no matter how fierce the struggle is, as long as Emperor Jiajing does not express his position, there will be no trouble.

However, Emperor Jiajing could never tolerate Yan Shifan's behavior of directly attacking the people around Zhu Zaigui in an attempt to destroy Prince Yu's reputation.

Therefore, after the case was concluded, Emperor Jiajing instructed Huang Jin: "Although the Chongwenmen case is over, the investigation cannot be stopped. I want to know who started this conspiracy in the first place. He who actually tried to ruin San'er's reputation must be killed!"

After hearing the order from Emperor Jiajing, Huang Jin immediately arranged for secret agents to investigate the cause and effect of the matter.

But Huang Jin was still a step too slow.

Just after Yan Song and Yan Shifan came out of the Western Garden, Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan sternly, who looked like a defeated rooster, and said, "Tell me, who gave you this naughty idea?"

Yan Shifan argued with a guilty conscience: "Dad, you misunderstood. There was no one. I just received a tip-off and filed a complaint."

But how could Yan Song believe what Yan Shifan said?

Yan Song snorted, "If you want to see me off early, just be stubborn and don't say it. Don't think that your cleverness can deceive everyone. Others fear you and respect you because I am your father. Without me, you are nothing."

Yan Song's words pierced Yan Shifan's heart like a steel knife, making Yan Shifan's pride unable to accept it.

In his heart, his father is already old, and the Yan family now depends on him for support.

But now Yan Song flatly denied his contribution and said it was worthless, which was hard for Yan Shifan to accept.

Therefore, Yan Shifan could not help but argue, "Dad, you are my dad, you have to side with me. This matter was set up by Wang Youzhao and that damned Hai Heimian for his son. Otherwise, why would I expose their evil deeds like this?"

Yan Song sighed, "Why don't you blame others for setting a trap? The Urban Construction Bureau is a foregone conclusion. If you try these tricks now, even if you win by luck, it won't change the established fact of the Urban Construction Bureau."

"Now His Majesty is already dissatisfied. If you continue to be stubborn, the consequences will be disastrous. So, I don't care anymore. You can handle it yourself. Whether it will be a blessing or a curse for the Yan family in the future, I can't see it anyway. Just let it be." Yan Song was really upset with his son. He was still stubborn even when he was about to die. Isn't this just like a dead duck sticking its tongue out?

After listening to his father's disappointing words, Yan Shifan's mind finally became clearer.

Yan Shifan said, "Dad, don't worry, I won't leave any evidence behind."

After listening to Yan Shifan's assurance, Yan Song finally felt relieved. "Okay. Let's go back."

Yan Song no longer asked Yan Shifan how to deal with the aftermath, because he knew that he was still very useful to Emperor Jiajing.

As long as Yan Shifan cleaned up his mess, even if Emperor Jiajing was angry, he would turn a blind eye and would not investigate further.

After all, the current political situation requires stability and cannot have any major fluctuations.

Otherwise, Emperor Jiajing would be in a passive position.

Once he became passive, Emperor Jiajing's dream of becoming an immortal through self-cultivation would be shattered.

Therefore, Yan Song was able to grasp the pulse of Emperor Jiajing and gained some knowledge of the art of controlling dragons.

This is also the ultimate reason why Yan Song was able to hold the highest position in the country for twenty years.

Otherwise, if he just pretended to be ignorant and did the dirty work, there would be no way that Emperor Jiajing would trust him for twenty years.

You have to know that Emperor Jiajing is the emperor. As long as he is willing to give them an opportunity, there will be many people who are willing to work hard to do dirty work for them.

But why was Yan Song the only one who could hold the highest position for twenty years?
Isn't it because Yan Song was able to provide enough emotional value to Emperor Jiajing while doing his work?

Therefore, never underestimate Yan Song's strength at any time.

Whoever dares to look down on him will be the second Xia Yan!

Therefore, this is also the reason why Xu Jie was willing to pretend to be a grandson in front of Yan Song.

Because Xu Jie knew Yan Song's strength too well, he understood that Yan Shifan was at most a second-generation rich man with fangs and claws, and Yan Song was the real backbone of the Yan Party.

Therefore, before Yan Song completely lost the emperor's favor, Xu Jie was willing to remain Yan Song's grandson in the cabinet until Yan Song mistakenly believed that he was really a docile and innocent little white flower.

After Yan Shifan came to his senses, he did not dare to delay for even a moment and immediately asked his steward Yan Kuan to find Luo Longwen and ask him to leave the capital immediately and not stay in the capital any longer.

Although Luo Longwen didn't know why Yan Shifan issued such a harsh order, as a successful businessman, Luo Longwen had a strong sense of crisis.

Therefore, Luo Longwen did not say anything extra and did not even pack his luggage. He immediately disguised himself and left his house in the capital. He quietly left the capital and disappeared in the vast crowd.

So much so that by the time Huang Jin's East Factory secret agents found some clues pointing to Luo Longwen, Luo Longwen had already escaped and disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, the Chongwenmen workers' dormitory case was like an inconspicuous flower in the rapids, fleeting, and not many people still remember it.

Most people have also refocused their energy on their own lives and the hustle and bustle of the streets, waiting for the arrival of the new year.
