The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

After Ming Huaixi and the maid finished speaking, they thought to themselves that there was indeed something wrong with that maid. The path she just took me to was not at all the room she said was for guests to rest or take emergency measures. So who on earth wanted to harm me?

There's no rush to wait until the banquet is over and let the people you have trained recently investigate. There may not be much hope of finding out. When the original owner got into trouble, the General's Mansion and the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion combined could not find out anything. Ming Huaixi doesn't expect his people to be able to find out everything at once. He just wants to test the capabilities of those under his command.

Ming Huaixi sat for a while, then stood up and walked around. The Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by Princess Jingnan did have a hundred flowers. Princess Jingnan loved flowers and held a banquet every year, but the scale of the previous banquets was smaller than this one.

This place is a large garden that Prince Jingnan built for his princess two years ago, and it is large enough to accommodate everyone coming this time.

The banquet was about to end soon. Ming Huaixi asked the maid where the wife of Marquis Weiyuan was, and followed the direction the maid pointed to find her.

The wife of Marquis Weiyuan was saying goodbye to people she knew.

"Your sister-in-law is here. I was just about to go look for you. Luckily you haven't moved yet, otherwise I would have missed you." When the wife of Marquis Weiyuan saw Ming Huaixi coming, she came forward to greet him.

Ming Huaixi greeted the wife of Marquis Weiyuan and the ladies she was familiar with, and then left the banquet with the wife of Marquis Weiyuan.

After they went out, they naturally got on their respective carriages. Ming Huaixi went to his own house first, exchanged a few words with the wife of Marquis Weiyuan, and said that he would go to see the old lady the next day. He then entered the house after the wife of Marquis Weiyuan left.

After returning home, Ming Huaixi arranged for someone to investigate what happened today.

What surprised Ming Huaixi was that they did find some clues this time. The little maid in Prince Jingnan's Mansion disappeared on the day Ming Huaixi returned. She was a maid in a death contract bought from outside by Prince Jingnan's Mansion.

They found out that this maid had worked as a maid in Eunuch Jiang's mansion for a period of time. Later, she saved enough money to redeem herself, but for some reason she sold herself again, this time as a death contract.

Originally, there were no important clues, but Eunuch Jiang had appeared in the original time node. He was murdered, and it was the male and female protagonists who solved the case.

This is nothing. The clue is that he once led a close attendant of the current emperor, who was also the emperor's confidant. This confidant seldom appeared in public and was always there to handle some shameful matters for the emperor. In a sense, this eunuch Jiang could be considered the mentor of this confidant.

In the past two years, Eunuch Jiang had grown old and left the palace to recuperate. The case of the Eunuch Jiang at the original time point was found to be a revenge murder.

Ming Huaixi speculated that although Eunuch Jiang was officially discharged from the palace for retirement, he was still working for the emperor behind the scenes. The little maid might be a thorn planted by the emperor in the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion. Both the original owner and himself were probably tricked.

The purpose should be to undermine the reputation of the General's Mansion among the people. It was indeed successful at the original time point. The reputation of the original owner was ruined, and the reputation of the General's Mansion among the people was not as good as before.

According to the previous time points, the General's Mansion and the Marquis Weiyuan's Mansion could not find anything. The son of a mere princess should not be able to do that, unless the superiors had cleared all traces for him.

Originally, Ming Huaixi thought that what happened to Mingyuan and his son on the battlefield at the original time point was planned after the original owner got into trouble, but it turns out it started so early.

Now Ming Huaixi has opened shops in other countries, including enemy countries, and is currently setting up information outposts. As long as all the information outposts are built, Ming Huaixi can know what is happening in various places in the shortest time.

The enemy country was originally one with the Great Jin Dynasty. At that time, it was called Qian State. A hundred years ago, there was a civil strife in Qian State and it was later divided into two, one was the Great Jin Dynasty and the other was the Great Qi Dynasty. After that, the two countries were in constant war for many years, but the development of the two countries was equal in strength.

Neither country had the strength to annex the other, which was why the Jin Dynasty did not continue the attack after winning a few years ago.

Now, it is a bit confusing for the emperor of the Jin Dynasty to choose to take back the military power at this time.

Originally, this world only repeated the story of the hero and heroine getting to know each other, falling in love and staying together. After the hero and heroine were together, this story stopped and a new round of repetition began.

If time could continue to run, the Jin Dynasty would probably have destroyed itself.

Ming Huaixi sent a message to Ming Yuan and his son who were far away in the border, telling them his guess. The falcon used to deliver the message was specially trained by Ming Huaixi.

Falcons are very rare, and Ming Huaixi only has three of them, which are only used to deliver more urgent messages. All other messages are delivered by carrier pigeons.

Ming Huaixi also hoped that General Mingyuan could personally send someone to investigate this clue, perhaps they could find out more.

The reason why the General's Mansion did not find this clue in the original time node was probably because a long time had passed and any more clues had been wiped out. Also, they did not expect that the emperor would start with his family.

When General Mingyuan received Ming Huaixi's letter, he was filled with doubt and anger. He then sent a message to the people in the capital to investigate the matter.

Mingyuan is already a general. Although he is a newcomer with a shallow foundation, he still has some manpower. General Ming is not a blindly loyal person. He also has one or two people in the palace. General Ming had never thought of using them before, but a good military strategist knows that one must be prepared for any eventuality. He did not expect that they would be used so soon.

General Ming's men are very efficient. Ming Huaixi doesn't know who General Ming has planted, but he was able to find out so much information in such a short time.

What General Ming found out was not much different from what Ming Huaixi had guessed, except for some discrepancies in some things. The plan to frame Ming Huaixi was a temporary decision made by the Emperor's people.

The emperor's confidants all knew that the General's Mansion was now gaining more and more popularity among the people. After the emperor eliminated the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, which was a serious threat to him, and took back the military power in the past two years, he became more and more eager to take action against the General's Mansion.

The only problem is that he doesn't know how to get rid of the General's Mansion without affecting himself. Of course, if the military power can be taken back smoothly, it is not impossible to spare the lives of the people in the General's Mansion.

On this day, one of the emperor's confidants passed by Prince Jingnan's Mansion and accidentally discovered that the eldest princess's son was having an affair in Prince Jingnan's Mansion. At the same time, he knew that Ming Huaixi was also at the banquet, so he came up with a plan to use the eldest princess's son to get rid of Ming Huaixi.

As long as the eldest princess's son saw Ming Huaixi at that time, no matter whether Ming Huaixi saw him or not, he would not let Ming Huaixi go. At that time, he only needed to let someone guide the eldest princess's son and let him ruin Ming Huaixi's reputation, and then make a big deal out of the matter, and then the general's mansion would naturally be affected.
