Master of Rebirth

Chapter 205 Ledger

While Xu Baichuan was chatting happily with Liu County Magistrate in the county government office, Wang Qi sat in the bamboo garden, looked up at Yanwu, and asked with a puzzled face: "Why can't Ah Man come over during this time?" ?”

"You also know that the young master secretly came to Pingyao County to investigate the collusion between Fang Tingyu and the Wang family. Unfortunately, after such a long time, there has been no progress at all. The young master was furious and sent someone to severely reprimand the young master. "Yan Wu said: "In the next period of time, the young master has to concentrate on his business, and I'm afraid I won't have time to come and see you."

These words are inconsistent with what Zhao Jing said before, Wang Qi said: "Is Ah Man sent by Zheng Xihou? Didn't he secretly come to Pingyao County without telling the old Hou Ye?"

"Young Lord came here secretly at first, but how could you hide it from His eyes? Seeing that Young Lord has made up his mind, Lord Hou didn't care too much, so he simply handed over the matter to him." Yan Wu said. Only then did he remember Zhao Jing's lies about Wang Qi's lies before, and he yelled in his heart that it was terrible, and hurriedly made amends, "Now the young master is committing crimes and meritorious deeds, if the errand is not done well, he will definitely be severely punished when he goes back."

Wang Qi was worried about Zhao Jing, but she didn't notice the uncomfortable look on Yan Wu's face, "Then can I go to Zhu's mansion to visit Ah Man?"

"Whether the young master came to see you or you went to see him, isn't it the same?" Zhao Jing smiled a little embarrassed, "The young master is busy with business now, so I really don't have time to accompany you. Besides, the young master has already They sent people from the capital. If they saw strangers in Zhu's mansion and asked them about it, they would probably cause unnecessary trouble for the young master. The subordinates are also thinking of you, and I hope you will forgive me. Wait for this matter to be settled Yes, the young master will definitely come to see you."

Although Yan Wu said so, how could Wang Qi rest assured.Although he has never seen the intrigue in Beijing, the danger is conceivable.Since Fang Tingyu has already set his sights on Zhao Jing in the capital, he will definitely not sit still.Since Zheng Xihou found out that Zhao Jing had come to Pingyao County, couldn't Fang Tingyu have found out?

"Everything I know about Second Uncle's business, I've already told Ah Man, haven't you found anything useful?" Wang Qi asked: "Right now Second Uncle and Wang Long are in prison, and even the chief housekeeper Wang Liang has been implicated, and the Wang family has no leader, so it should be easy to deal with."

Yan Wudao: "What Wang Feng and his son did can be confirmed, but the subordinates have not found any tangible evidence that the Xiangfu has benefited from the Wang family. Besides, it was an official from the Ministry of War who promoted Wang Feng at the beginning. He is the Prime Minister. His student is not Xiangye himself. Even if something happened to the Wang family, Xiangye will at most be jointly and severally liable, and it will not hurt his bones."

"That is to say, if you want to help Ah Man, you must obtain evidence that the second uncle bribed the prime minister." Wang Qi said in a deep voice.

Yan Wu hurriedly said: "That's right. Young Master Wang, since you know so many secrets about Wang Feng, can you think about it again and see if there are any omissions, maybe it will be useful."

"My second uncle has always been cautious. I am the object of his strict precautions, and my ability is limited. For my own safety, I can't investigate too deeply." Wang Qi shook her head.

Yan Wu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, "Then we can only find a solution elsewhere."

"Brother Yanwu don't need to be depressed." Wang Qi comforted: "Now that something happened to Wang Long and the second uncle is involved again, it may be an opportunity for us."

Seeing that Wang Qi seemed to have a solution, Yan Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What advice does Mr. Wang have?"

"Wang Long encouraged Lianyi to poison him, and ordered his concubine to murder his wife. It is a certainty. And the second uncle is also imprisoned for the attempted murder. The Wang family mansion will collapse, and the third uncle in Beijing will probably not sit idly by." Wang Qi said: " Although my grandma loves the third uncle and is afraid of the prime minister, she doesn't like to trouble them in everything. But now that the rise and fall of the Wang family and Wang Long's life are involved, I'm afraid I can't sit still."

Yan Wudao: "Young Master and his subordinates have also thought of this point. But after all, Wang Long did not kill with his own hands, and Wang Feng also attempted to kill. Since the two of them did not directly get their lives on their hands, it is reasonable to keep their lives Even if Xiangye intervenes, it is not too much to save their lives. Even if the trouble comes to the emperor, at most they will be reprimanded, which is not a crime. Besides, although Xiangye thinks highly of Wang Yao, he has always looked down on the Wang family. Now that Wang Yao has entered the Xiangfu, if the Xiangye does not let Wang Yao intervene in the affairs of the Wang family, I believe Wang Yao may not dare to move lightly. If the Xiangye stands by and stands by, there is nothing we can do."

"I don't know how Xiangye thinks of the Wang family." Wang Qi smiled lightly, her eyes filled with disdain, "Although the second uncle flatters Xiangye very much, he also knows what kind of person he is in the eyes of others. In [-], although he monopolized a large number of businesses in the army with the influence of the prime minister, he gave [-] to [-]% of the money he earned to the prime minister's mansion. The second uncle didn't say anything, and he didn't have any complaints in his heart. Besides, the cunning rabbit There are still three caves. My second uncle is smarter than the cunning rabbit. He will definitely keep some tricks in his hands, so that he can use them to coerce others when he dies. It forced Second Uncle to take out his trump card."

Wang Qi's meaning is not difficult to understand. He thinks that Wang Feng has left something in his hands to blackmail Fang Tingyu. If Fang Tingyu just ignores the Wang family, he may use that thing to blackmail him.

Yan Wu's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he hesitated, "After all, Fang Tingyu is the prime minister of the court, and Wang Feng is all relying on him. Does Wang Feng dare?"

"After all, Wang Long is the only son of the second uncle. If his life is at stake, the second uncle may not dare to take a chance." Wang Qi paused, showing an inscrutable smile, and continued: "Even if the second uncle dare not Xiangye looks down on him so much, is it possible to trust the second uncle without reservation? If some rumors are spread in the capital, making the illusion that the second uncle betrayed the Xiangye. If the Xiangye is really a guilty conscience, he knows that the second uncle has his I'm afraid I won't be indifferent to the handle. As long as the second uncle knows that Xiangye is suspicious of him, he will definitely show his flaws."

"This plan is brilliant!" Yan Wu boasted, but Yan Wu sighed in his heart.

Although he knew that the relationship between Wang Qi and his second uncle was not good, what Wang Qi did was also helping Zhao Jing.But being able to calculate to this extent against his relatives still made Yanwu shudder.Wang Qi doesn't even show mercy to her own relatives, and she doesn't know how to be cold-blooded and cold-hearted when dealing with others in the future.

Seeing the change in Yan Wu's eyes when he looked at him, it was complicated to tell whether it was fear or contempt, Wang Qi knew what he was thinking, and didn't point it out, just smiled wryly.

Thinking about it, in Yan Wu's view, Wang Feng is his biological uncle. Although the relationship between the two is not good, they are still a family after all.What's more, Wang Feng didn't do anything to hurt him on the surface.What is it if he is not cold-blooded and ruthless to plot against his uncle without changing his face?

After sighing briefly for a moment, Yan Wu suppressed the chill that kept coming up in his heart, and continued to ask: "I just don't know what the evidence Wang Gongzi said will be?"

"I don't know, but I guess it should be something like a ledger." A teasing smile flashed in Wang Qi's eyes, "My second uncle is a business man, and he is very obsessed with bookkeeping. Listen to me My father said that when the Wang family's tea business first started, the second uncle acted as the accountant of the family, recording the flow of money every day, detailing everything, and recording every detail clearly, even the family's expenses. Yes. He likes to smell the money, and he likes to watch the numbers on the ledger gradually increase, and the banknotes gradually become thicker. I guess, the second uncle will definitely write down the money that has been filial to the prime minister's house over the years. After all, the ledger does not take up space and is easy to hide, so it is a good choice."

Yan Wu continued: "Then, does Mr. Wang know where Wang Feng hides such important things?"

"I really don't know about it." Wang Qi shook her head and said, "My second uncle is suspicious by nature and extremely cautious. If there is such an account book, I'm afraid he won't let the second person know."

"This subordinate understands." Yan Wu cupped his hands towards Wang Qi and said, "If Fang Tingyu is brought down in the future, this subordinate will definitely speak a few words of kindness for you in front of Lord Hou, and give you credit for it."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "I don't ask for merit, as long as Ah Man is fine."

Yan Wu didn't know whether Wang Qi's words were sincere or false, and he couldn't say any flattering words, so he just smiled and got up to leave, "The subordinates will go back first."

"I'll see you off." Wang Qi didn't hold back, and got up to send him out.

Before leaving the gate, Wang Qi suddenly thought of Lianyi, and asked casually, "By the way, what happened to that Lianyi?"

Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "These days I have been busy with business, but I forgot about her."

Wang Qi thought that Yan Wu didn't know, and was about to ask him to help inquire about Zhao Jing's tone, so she listened to Yan Wu: "Now that it has been confirmed that Xue Shi was not killed by Lianyi, and she has no life on her body, it should be possible. The death penalty was exempted. However, she poisoned so many people, and the influence was bad. What's more, she was from a lowly background, so the punishment would only be heavier, but the death penalty could be avoided. Exile her. As for where she will be exiled, I haven't said yet."

"What about Ah Man? What does he think about this?" Wang Qi asked quickly, fearing that Zhao Jing would interfere with Lianyi's affairs, and even more afraid that Zhao Jing would secretly keep her by his side.

Yan Wu said indifferently: "Young Master has been very busy recently, and I don't even have time to see you, so there is no time to pay attention to her. However, Young Master has already asked the people below to take care of Lianyi. If the sentence is true It is estimated that exile will cost her some money, so that she will suffer less. Others, I can't care so much."

After hearing the result, Wang Qi was finally relieved.

Yan Wu returned to Zhu's mansion, and immediately told Zhao Jing about Wang Qi's plan.

"Young Lord, if you use Wang Long's case to force Wang Feng to send someone to the capital to seek help from Fang Tingyu, you can test Fang Tingyu's depth and prevent us from being exposed prematurely. The subordinates feel that Wang Gongzi's method is feasible. .” Yan Wu said.

Zhao Jing nodded, "You're right, but we can't alarm Fang Tingyu about this matter. Is there any movement from Mrs. Wang Li and Mrs. Zhu?"

Jin Li hurriedly said: "After Wang Feng and his son were imprisoned, Wang Li has already sent someone to deliver a letter to Wang Yao. For such a big matter, even if Wang Yao receives the news, he will definitely discuss it with the Prime Minister, and he will never dare to do it himself. Advocacy. The subordinates estimate that it will take a few days before there is any news about the reaction of the Xiangfu."

Zhao Jing looked at Yan Wu and said, "Immediately send a letter to your father, tell him the current situation, and ask him to pay close attention to every move of the Xiangfu."

"Yes." Yan Wu got the order and went down immediately.

Seeing that the business has been arranged, Zhao Jing looked at Jinli and asked, "Where's Brother Xu? Haven't you come back from the yamen yet?"

Ever since Xu Baichuan came to Pingyao County, he deliberately avoided Zhao Jing.Zhao Jing knew that Xu Baichuan knew what he was doing.Not only did he say a lot about himself in front of Mrs. Ma, causing her to worry, but he also brought Mrs. Ma to Pingyao County without any regard for her health.Zhao Jing will never let this matter go.Now, Xu Baichuan found an excuse to hide out, and he also wanted to wait until his anger subsided before coming back.

"Brother Xu went to find Brother Xiuwen after he came out of the yamen." Jinli said quickly: "Brother Xu said that the person who sold the arsenic/cream was involved in another case he was investigating. A shocking case was involved."

"A shocking case?" Zhao Jing smiled disdainfully and said, "He dare not come to see me!"

Mrs. Ma, who brought soup to Zhao Jing, opened the door and came in, just in time to hear the conversation just now.Seeing that Zhao Jing's expression was not good, she was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with Xu Baichuan, which would affect the relationship between the two. Since Jinli was still there, she couldn't expressly dissuade her, so she had to pretend that she didn't know anything, and said with a smile: "Ah Man, the girl has stewed chicken soup, hurry up and drink it while it's hot."

"Grandma Ma, you're here." Jinli turned around and saw Granny Ma, and hurriedly took the food box from her hand.

Zhao Jing also stood up, helped Madam Ma to sit down, and said, "Grandma, why don't you rest in the room, you can let other people do these things, why come here in person?"

"I've been sleeping in the house all day, and it's boring to lie down all the time, so I came to see you." Mrs. Ma smiled cheerfully, then turned to look at Jinli and said, "The old woman only served a bowl of chicken soup. If I had known this little brother was here, I would have filled an extra bowl."

Jinli knew that Mrs. Ma and Zhao Jing had a very close relationship, so naturally she didn't dare to work for her, and hurriedly said: "Grandma Ma is too polite, and my subordinates dare not."

"Whoever dares or dares, they are all one family. Don't be so ignorant." Mrs. Ma smiled kindly, "There is still a lot of soup in the kitchen, everyone has a share. Go and drink some, it's cold, drink Warm up with hot soup."

"This..." Jinli glanced at Zhao Jing, as if waiting for his instructions.

Zhao Jing said: "It's fine here, you go, don't disappoint grandma."

Only then did Jinli say, "Thank you, Madam."

When only the grandparents and grandchildren were left in the room, Mrs. Ma said calmly, "Aman, grandma knows that I shouldn't ask too many questions, but she still can't help worrying. You can handle the matter that Master Hou entrusted to you." How is it?"

"Grandma, don't worry, there is already a clue." Zhao Jing drank the chicken soup in the bowl in a few sips, and talked about the matter to Mrs. Ma.

"If you want to say that this time I came to Pingyao County, Wang Qi really helped my grandson a lot." Zhao Jing intentionally said good things about Wang Qi in front of Mrs. Ma, and couldn't help but praise Wang Qi, "Not to mention that he helped grandson Find out Wang Long, the culprit, and restore Lianyi's innocence. He also contributed a lot to Wang Feng's case. If it wasn't for Wang Qi's righteous killing of relatives, confessing many things about Wang Feng, and coming up with a plan to separate Wang Feng and Fang Tingyu However, I am afraid things have not turned around. If it is delayed for a while, it is difficult to say what the situation will be at that time."

Seeing that Zhao Jing was full of good things about Wang Qi, and his eyes were shining brightly, without any trace of hatred, Mrs. Ma felt her heart sinking, "Aman, are you going to forgive Wang Qi?"
