Our Mommy is the Best Investigator! Chapter 451

Chapter 451 Dog Eats Dog

Concubine Yue Guifei didn't dare to bring up the issue of succession anymore, she replied with a half-smile: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager had already made arrangements, but I'm just being sentimental."

The jealous look on his face made Wu Enrong on the side full of vigilance.

Although he helped Concubine Yue into the palace back then, and relied on the power of the Tang family to make her gain power in the palace, he didn't want her to cause more trouble.

Looking at this trend, I am afraid that Concubine Yue Gui wants to join forces with King Ning to intervene in the party struggle and seek high positions.

This will not be tolerated.

He also hastily persuaded: "If the noble concubine likes the young prince and the young prince of Pingning's family, you can visit the mansion today. The most important thing is your studies, so don't let them go to waste. Moreover, the young prince and the prince are still old Nie. Students, it is really against the rules to let the two elders go to the posthouse to teach."

"What Wu Taishou said is very true, it is my palace's inappropriate consideration."

Concubine Yue was ashamed.

This finally completely dispelled her thoughts.

By observing the words and expressions, Chu Nanzhi noticed that the prefect seemed to be not in the same way as Concubine Yue Gui and King Dongjin.

Although Concubine Yue Gui is nominally dependent on the Tang family, she has her own agenda.

Lin Jinmu didn't want her adoptive heir because he wanted to rely on Concubine Yue to gain power.

It seems that Wu Enrong also doesn't want to see Concubine Yue adopt the sons of the clan, so whose power is he attached to?

The Tang family or Lin Jinmu?

She hasn't noticed the signs yet.

Since Wu Enrong gave each other a step down, Chu Nanzhi planned to lead Concubine Yue to the house to see the little treasures, but just as she was about to leave the courtyard, Zheng Haichuan and Jiang Xueyi hurried in.

The two first bowed their hands to Concubine Yue and the two princes, and then turned to Wu Enrong with a solemn expression. Zheng Haichuan took the lead and said: "I thought it would take a day or two for the prefect to arrive at Luyan Port. You should send someone to tell Humble Job, and Humble Job can also send someone to pick him up."

Wu Enrong glanced at Jiang Xueyi coldly, feeling very dissatisfied with Zheng Haichuan bringing him hastily.

Before Zheng Haichuan came out, he had told him that he would not see the Qi family during this trip. He never thought that such a sightless thing would openly bring the Qi family in front of him in front of Lin Jinxiao and everyone, and ask such a stupid question.

He came here quietly to avoid the Qi family who came to greet him.

Glaring at Zheng Haichuan sharply, he replied with a half-smile to Concubine Yue and the two princes: "The lower officials are afraid of disturbing the people, so they only brought a few entourages here in plain clothes."

"The prefect is really a good official who cares about the people."

Jiang Xueyi gave a perfunctory compliment, and then went straight to the topic: "I don't know how the prefect arrived at Luyan Port. Did you meet any old people on the way?"

After listening to the conversation between his mother-in-law and Zheng Haichuan in the carriage last night, he always felt that his mother-in-law was hiding a lot of things.

The phrase "Some things can't be erased if they are done forever" is still lingering in his ears at this time.

Anyway, Wu Enrong doesn't have a deep friendship with the Tang family. Now that he has been transferred from Pingning Prefecture, he doesn't need to be afraid of him.

Wu Enrong was very puzzled by Jiang Xueyi's words: "What does Jiang Yushi mean by this?"

Look at his expression, it seems that he doesn't take himself seriously.

It's just to succeed Lin Jinxiao as a fifth-rank defense envoy, so he's so defiant, it's really a little ignorant.

Jiang Xueyi pursed his lips angrily: "Master Taishou, my mother-in-law learned that you are coming to Luyan Port, and went to meet you all night long last night. Could it be that Lord Taishou wants to say that she has not met my mother-in-law?"

"Absurd."

Wu Enrong sternly said: "This official has no deep friendship with Mrs. Zheng, so why bother her to welcome her?"

In front of everyone, he refused to admit his relationship with the Qi family even though he was beaten to death.

But Jiang Xueyi had already guessed that in addition to relying on the Tang family these years, Zheng's other reliance was Wu Enrong.

Otherwise, Zheng Haichuan, a mere postal commissioner in the east, would not be able to pry away 100,000 taels of silver from the Qi family every year.

And he did not send a message to his mother-in-law when he came to Luyan Port this time. I am afraid that he has decided to abandon the Qi family just like the Tang family, Concubine Yue and others.

Since he was so ruthless in wanting to distance himself from the Qi family, Jiang Xueyi no longer needed to show mercy to him, and said frankly in front of everyone:

"Wu Taishou, you are such a noble person who forgets things. Could it be that now that you are in Beijing, you don't even want to recognize your old friends?"

"It's unreasonable."

Wu Enrong suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "Jiang Yushi should pay attention to his words. I haven't met Mrs. Zheng this way."

This guy obviously has ulterior motives and wants to drag himself into the water.

There is no one who goes out of the city in the middle of the night to pick up someone. Those who don't know think that he has some shady dealings with the Zheng family.

Zheng Haichuan saw that everyone was acting like a melon-eater who had nothing to do with him, but it was difficult to confess the hundreds of thousands of taels of bribes that Wu Enrong had collected from the Qi family over the years, so he had to be cautious. A side reminded:

"Master Taishou, you have a lot of people, don't blame Jiang Yushi for speaking in a hurry. Mrs. Zheng left the city overnight and hasn't returned yet. Only the old lady's carriage returned to the city. The groom and the two accompanying maids are gone. trace."

"What, Mrs. Zheng is missing?"

Concubine Yue showed surprise, and looked in shock at Wang Lin Jinmu, who was as steady as Mount Tai.

Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao were both extremely astonished.

The people disappeared, but the carriage returned to the city. Generally, there would be no good results in this situation.

It seems that some people can't bear it anymore.

The fact that Mrs. Zheng went out of the city in the middle of the night to meet Wu Enrong was even more puzzling.

What could make her so anxious, could it be because of Qi Mochen?

Furthermore, why did Wu Enrong deliberately avoid the Qi family? Could it be that he was so afraid that Lin Jinxiao would find out what connection they had?

This was too deliberate. Neither Concubine Yue nor the Tang family were so cautious, so why should he be so afraid of Lin Jinxiao?

Anyway, he was going to Beijing soon, and he was no longer controlled by Lin Jinxiao.

Zheng Haichuan looked at the shocked crowd, glanced at Lin Jinxiao, Chu Nanzhi and his wife embarrassingly, and replied submissively: "Don't dare to hide the concubine and the two highnesses, Mrs. Zheng is very anxious because of the matter of Xiaolang from the Qi family. , seeking help everywhere to no avail, and knowing that the prefect Wu is about to go to Beijing for high school, I thought of going to the prefect to find a solution."

"Both the king and the noble concubine know about this matter, Qi Xiaolang has to take the blame, even in front of His Majesty, his serious crime is unforgivable, what can the prefect Wu do?"

Lin Jinmu sighed disapprovingly, and looked at Wu Enrong with lowered eyebrows.

It seems that this prefect has the ability to reach the sky, and he can make the Zheng family look up to him so much.

I actually underestimated him.

After listening for a long time, Wu Enrong realized that Jiang Xueyi was suspecting that he had murdered the Zheng family, so he quickly evaded it and said, "What King Dongjin said is very true. This Qi family has committed many evils, and Qi Xiaolang reaped the consequences of his own evil. What can I do if I am an official?"

The group of people who were originally in the same spirit suddenly started biting each other like dogs, which made Lin Jinxiao feel at ease no matter how he looked at it.

It is really curious that several living people disappeared out of thin air.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xueyi, and said in a light tone: "Jiang Yushi, this Mrs. Zheng is your mother-in-law after all, and the second lady of the Qi family is the former aunt of my wife. Hurry up and send more people out of the city to look for it. .”
