Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

Xiao Heng, who was busy in the yamen, also heard the rumor and even knew more than others.

Ji Shuran wanted to invite officials from the Taibu Office to come to her house to exorcise the evil spirit on the pretext that her daughter was crazy, but for some reason, Jiang Yunbai refused.

Afterwards, Jiang Yunbai's behavior was even more puzzling. On the one hand, he rejected Ji Shuran's request, but on the other hand, he sent an invitation letter to the Taibu Office.

What’s even more interesting is that Ji Shuran, unaware of Jiang Yunbai’s actions, also secretly contacted Liu Wencai from the Taibu Bureau.

The Taibushu replied quickly, saying that he would be free tomorrow, but Jiang Yunbai never replied again, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Wen Ji kept talking about the information he had found out.

Fortunately, Lu Ji came in time and saved Xiao Heng's ear.

"My Lord, just as you expected, the officials from the Ministry of Personnel have also taken action."

After hearing this, Wen Ji clapped his hands.

"Master, your predictions are too accurate. Li Zhongnan wanted to protect Tong Zhiyang and mobilized people from the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate. He thought no one knew about it. How could it be possible? We have been keeping an eye on him the whole time."

"Hehe! I didn't expect that he would drag the Ministry of Personnel into this. Now, a few more names will have to be added to the memorial."

Then he looked at Xiao Heng with a playful smile.

Xiao Heng was half happy and half worried as he looked at a map of the Taibu Office on the table.

"Pack up and follow me into the palace."

Xiao Heng quickly compiled a list of officials involved in the Tong Zhiyang case and brought it to the palace to hand over to His Majesty.

But in the imperial study, he saw Jiang Yuanbai waiting by the side. He wondered what the two had been discussing. In short, both of them had serious expressions. Only when he saw Xiao Heng come in did Jiang Yuanbai get up and leave.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this memorial."

The memorials were submitted by officials from the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, the Ministry of Personnel, the Imperial City Administration, the Imperial Guard Administration... and other departments, all of whom were Prince Cheng's men.

really

"Bang!" The memorial that had just been submitted was thrown out by Zhao Ye.

"Why are people from the Ministry of Personnel involved?" Zhao Ye looked ugly and trembled with anger.

"The Ministry of Personnel just issued a document, and Tong Zhiyang was only demoted one level..."

Zhao Ye's eyes kept turning. "Xiao Heng, do you think I should capture these people, cut off Wan Ning's forces, and instigate a conflict between Wan Ning and King Cheng? Or should I wait and see?"

"Your Majesty, isn't the ancestral worship ceremony approaching soon? If there's no one left in the capital to support us, I'm afraid King Cheng will raise an army directly in the northern border!"

Zhao Ye rubbed his face fiercely: "I am enduring it, but the king of Dazhao will be visiting soon. You must keep an eye on these people and don't let them cause trouble."

There are too many people who want to become kings in the capital. If we take action now, we will alert the enemy, but if we don't deal with them, we will be too passive.

Especially the Taibu Office in the palace, which was always making trouble. Sometimes they said there were evil spirits, and sometimes they brought disaster to the people. Many people had been killed for this, but they were unable to quell the rumors in the capital and the requests of officials.

This made Zhao Ye unable to sleep every day. After eight years in power, he didn't even have a few officials he could trust.

The two of them studied it for a while but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Xiao Heng left the palace with a frown, but unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Yuanbo waiting for him outside.

I saw the other person walking up to me with a smile on his face.

"Duke Su, my carriage has broken down. Please give me a ride on the next leg."

Xiao Heng couldn't understand what this old fox was plotting. But looking at the distance, he saw a servant guarding a carriage, looking left and right.

"Since the Prime Minister's carriage has had problems, I will lend this one to him first and I will ride back on horseback."

Jiang Yuanbai walked forward with a smile and grabbed Xiao Heng's sleeve.

"We see each other every day, so Duke Su should not be so formal."

Having said that, he unceremoniously pulled Xiao Heng into the carriage.

Xiao Heng remained calm and waited for the other party to reveal his purpose.

Jiang Yuanbai still had a smile on his face as he looked the man up and down.

"I heard that Duke Su is getting married in a few days, and the other party has been granted the title of Princess of Yongping County, but I've never heard of this person before. How did Duke Su take a fancy to her?"

Xiao Heng was surprised. Could it be that the other party was coming for Jiuning? So he also acted cautiously.

"She's just an ordinary woman, not a noble lady from the capital, so it's normal that you haven't heard of her."

Xiao Heng responded perfunctorily with a smile. Jiang Yuanbo, who was neglected, was not angry. He still took out a brocade box from his arms with a smile.

"Wedding gift!"

After saying that, he pushed the box over.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the Duke Su's Mansion, but they did not expect to see the Jiang Mansion's carriage, nor did they see two people standing at the door laughing.

Jiang Yuanbo stopped talking and instead looked in Jiuning's direction, with various emotions constantly flashing across his face.

Xiao Heng understood it at a glance, probably guessed it, but it didn't matter.

When Jiu Ning heard that Xue Fangfei was coming to see her, she immediately ran to the door to greet her.

As soon as the person got out of the car, he hurriedly led her into the mansion. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he thought it must be because of the message she left.

"Sister Xue, we are so familiar with each other now. If you have any troubles, just tell me."

She has always been cautious in dealing with the Jiang family and never took the initiative to calculate. Even when Jiang Ruoyao framed her many times, she always advised her to change her ways and did not pursue the matter.

But this time, Jiang Ruoyao's madness and Ji Shuran's request for the Taibushu to perform an exorcism made her have other ideas.

This is a good opportunity to clear Jiu Ning's name and seek justice for Aunt Hu.

Jiuning has done so much for her, and she wants something in return. She wants him to marry with a clear conscience and without regrets.

But after all, this is someone else's business, so she shouldn't interfere too much.

"Jiuning, when are you planning to return to the Jiang family?"

This question made Jiuning stunned. She was living a good life now, why should she go back?

"What's wrong, Sister Xue?"

"Have you ever thought about revenge?"

Jiu Ning's face darkened. In her heart, apart from her grandmother, whom she still had some thoughts about, she didn't want to have any contact with anyone else in the Jiang family.

Should she take revenge on Ji Shuran or on her father who cannot distinguish right from wrong? Ji Shuran's plan was certainly wrong, but weren't the ones who made the final decision her relatives?

No matter how badly an outsider hurts you, it is not as cruel as the one hurting you by your family.

Seeing that Jiu Ning's face showed no emotion, Xue Fangfei gritted her teeth and told her what Aunt Hu had told her last.

"What if I say that your mother's matter is related to Ji Shuran?"

Jiuning's eyes widened instantly and his heart skipped a beat.

"Where did you get this information?"

Xue Fangfei then told Aunt Hu about her guess.

It turned out that after Ye Zhenzhen gave birth, her body was indeed weak due to difficult labor, but after a year of conditioning, her condition has gradually improved.

Aunt Hu's suspicion was that every time Ji Shuran came to the Jiang residence to visit Ye Zhenzhen, her health would deteriorate rapidly. After several failures, she eventually passed away.

Finally, Ji Shuran married Jiang Yuanbo as his second wife in the name of taking care of Jiang Li.
