Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Salt and iron are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. If this kind of evidence is exposed in the hands of anyone in the Xu family, it should be made known to everyone, and then used as a bargaining chip to find out the truth.

With Xu Mingqing's intelligence, after sorting out the people involved in this account book, it became clear that this matter must involve the deaths of Xie Yu and Chen Shu.

Xu Mingqing thought clearly about the stakes and still chose to keep it secret. Xu Mingqing's choice was already obvious.

But Xie Yan still wanted to ask, and he had to ask directly: "The motto of your Xu family is to live up to the mountains and rivers, and live up to the people. Did Ming Qing discuss this choice with his family today?"

"The emperor is the master of these mountains and rivers. If you don't let the emperor down, you won't let down the mountains, rivers and the people."

"Qingyao is Mingqing's brother-in-law. With Mingqing's choice, are you worried that he will blame you in the future?"

Xu Mingqing smiled, without any hesitation in his eyes: "I think sometimes, people know less and live more comfortably."

"From my perspective, I always hope that he doesn't know about the past and can live happily with my sister until she grows old."

In the face of imperial power, personal strength is not worth mentioning, let alone Xie Qingyao, who has now lost the Chen family in Lu County?

Xie Yan understood the implication of Xu Mingqing's words, and his understanding of the person in front of him became more three-dimensional.

The nine years of being suppressed in Nanjun brought many changes to Xu Mingqing, who had just entered his official career. The most important change was that Xu Mingqing understood that in order to live a prosperous life in the Dayu Dynasty, what was more important than ability was position.

"If this case is handed over to Mingqing, what will Mingqing do?"

"The death of Nanjun County Governor Sun Yicheng was used as an opportunity to investigate. Everyone knew that the army was launched after the investigation, but the outcome after the investigation should be attributed to an ordinary accident."

"If the emperor trusts me, I will deal with all those who have alienated intentions during the investigation of the case."

The smile on Xie Yan's face deepened a lot. Rather than saying that Xu Mingqing went to find out the cause of the emperor's death, it would be better to say that Xu Mingqing went to clear out all hidden dangers for Xie Yan.

For matters that are closely related to Xie Qingyao, it would be most convincing to let Xie Qingyao's uncle go.

Sensing Xie Yan's relaxed mood, Xu Mingqing's voice became softer: "It's over now. If the emperor wants to do this kind of business again, I should be the emperor's pawn again."

Xu Mingqing, who retreated again and again, only wanted two things.

Recover the glory of the Xu family and protect Xu Mingyue's rest of his life.

Both of these things depend on Xie Yan.

"I have seen Mingqing's meritorious service in Nanjun over the years. He also did an excellent job in providing disaster relief in Deshui last year. I also promised your father in the early years that when you return from Nanjun, you will definitely have a place in these six books. ."

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yan made a decision quickly: "The post of Minister of Punishment has been vacant for a long time, so I will hand over the position of Shangshu of Punishment to you. Finding out the cause of death of the late emperor and empress will be your first important task after taking office."

"As for Mingyue and Qingyao, until Mingqing investigates the case, they should live a wealthy and idle life in this capital."

With Xu Mingyue in hand, Xie Yan was not afraid that Xu Mingqing would cause trouble.

Xu Mingqing knelt down to thank him and asked after careful consideration: "Does the Emperor want some people to stay alive and shut up, or to die as evidence?"

Xie Yan picked up a black stone from the chessboard, threw it directly into the wind and snow, and killed a bird that was chirping on the tree.

Only dead people will always shut up.

And if you find a cover from the dead, there will be no chance of betrayal.

Xu Mingqing did not stand up immediately:

"I have been trusted by the emperor to become one of the six ministers. The date of my sister's marriage should be set in these days. This matter involves a lot of things to the king. If something unexpected happens, I kindly ask the emperor not to affect my sister's marriage because of me. ."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

Compared with Xie Chong'an, a son who was bold and deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, Xie Yan would rather hand over his future salt and iron business to Xu Mingqing, a courtier who relied on him.

After the monarch and his ministers reached an agreement, Eunuch Hai personally sent Xu Mingqing away. When he returned to the dormitory again, Li Laner had already slipped into Xie Yan's arms.

The slender jade fingers that had been raised to white again rubbed Xie Yan's brows: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li has betrayed His Majesty's trust like this. You must never let him go."

Holding the delicate person tightly in his arms, Xie Yan said indulgently: "When Xu Mingqing takes office as the Minister of Punishment, if he really has a ghost in his heart, he will definitely jump up and down."

"When the time comes, my beloved concubine will vent her anger if she wants to, and if she wants his life, she will take his life."

Li Laner softened her body and nuzzled into Xie Yan's arms, and expressed her gratitude in a charming voice: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity for revenge."

"As long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Xie Chongan's boldness in the matter of salt and iron flashed through his mind repeatedly. Xie Yan got up from the soft couch, walked around the hall for a long time, looked sideways at Eunuch Hai, and confessed:

"Xiao Haizi, find an opportunity to let people see how Chongyu is doing now?"

Li Lan'er, who was sitting on the soft couch with her head down, suddenly clenched her fingers into fists after hearing this.

Because of Xu Mingqing's words, Xie Yan now had the idea of ​​releasing Xie Chongyu?

Li Laner must inform Xie Chongan of such matters immediately so that Xie Chongan can take precautions in advance.

It was quite dark at night, and Xu Mingyue was returning from outside in a carriage. When she approached the alley between Qingyuan and Zhenguo Gongfu, Xu Mingyue smelled the smell of blood arising from decay.

Xu Mingyue has been practicing medicine with her master for several years and has only seen such a fishy and stinky smell on a woman imprisoned in a pottery urn.

The formation of this kind of smell requires repeated scratching of the wound when it has just begun to heal, causing it to ooze pus and bleed over and over again. The injured person not only suffers unbearable pain, but also endures the pain of watching himself decay. the whole process.

Those who use such means are definitely not ordinary people.

Because if he hadn't hung on his life with precious medicinal materials, he would have died due to such injuries.

With a wink at Youyu, Xu Mingyue stepped out of the carriage lightly, and Youyu immediately directed the groom to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion via another road.

The sound of the carriage leaving completely disappeared, and Xu Mingyue jumped onto the wall of Qingyuan.

The next moment, there was a touch of warmth beside his body.

Without looking back, Xu Mingyue put her index finger on Xie Qingyao's lips, signaling Xie Qingyao to be silent.

After receiving a nod in response, Xu Mingyue looked down at the scene in the alley.

Xie Qingyao raised the refreshing sachet in front of Xu Mingyue, dispelling the dirty smell, and turned to stare at Xu Mingyue quietly.

Staring at him, his phoenix eyes were filled with a lingering smile.

His Yueyue's serious look is also very good-looking.
