She did not expect to learn from Song Jie that the case of the Lieyang Army was actually the work of the Queen Mother. You must know that the late Emperor was still alive, and she already had such big ambitions.

Lin Zhao recalled the figure he saw outside the elegant room of the Huixin Building, and worried, "I'm afraid the news of my meeting with Mr. Song has already reached the Queen Mother's ears."

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect the Queen Mother's eyes and ears to reach into his restaurant, "Wouldn't we be more passive in this way?"

"But things are not that bad. The palace is heavily guarded, and almost all of them are old people who have served here for many years. The queen mother probably doesn't know about General Feng. But we can't be sure about the matter of Marquis Wu'an."

"Will the Empress Dowager protect Marquis Wu'an?"

Lin Zhao said firmly, "No."

"Why? Marquis Wu'an is the eldest princess' husband-in-law, that is the empress dowager's son-in-law, she will just sit back and watch?"

"In the royal family, the important thing is not the blood relationship, but the supreme right. She should hope that Marquis Wu'an will plead guilty earlier, so that no one will be able to detect that she is behind the scenes. When the time comes, there will be no proof. Gone forever."

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect that then would be such a cold-blooded, ruthless and cruel person, without any regard for her daughter's feelings.It seems that changing her daughter's husband is a common thing.

"Then what should we do now? Do you think Marquis Wu'an has any evidence to identify the Queen Mother?"

In fact, Lin Zhao was not sure. From his point of view, if this Marquis Wu'an hadn't been overwhelmed by emotion, he would be a very wise and resourceful person when he was clear-headed.

Unless such a person is voluntary, he will never be easily used by others.

As for whether he has any evidence of the Queen Mother's participation, he needs to talk to him face-to-face before he can find out.

Then came the problem, Marquis Wu'an and them were on opposite sides, it was impossible to tell them the truth, so they had to find a way to get words out of Marquis Wu'an's mouth.

As for Song Jie's suggestion to start with the eldest princess, it is also a good direction.

Lin Zhaodao: "Let Uncle Chen send people to keep an eye on the eldest princess's mansion and Wu'anhou's mansion, mainly to keep an eye on the eldest princess's movements. As for Wu'anhou, this person's weakness in this life is probably only that one, and I want to talk to him about it." Conditions, still starting from this weakness."

Jiang Ziyan instantly understood what the weakness he was talking about was, "You mean Wei Qi? But hasn't he been dead for many years? What's the use of mentioning him at this time?"

"No, it's useful. At least he didn't know the truth about Wei Qi's death that year."

Jiang Ziyan understood, "Are you trying to use this to negotiate terms with him? I have to remind you that as soon as Marquis Wu An touches anything related to Wei Qi, he is a lunatic, and he might do something."

Lin Zhaodao: "I also know this. Only one word of love can make people happy, but it can also hurt people a lot. Negotiating with Marquis Wu'an on this matter requires a long-term plan."

After all, Marquis Wu An was the direct murderer who led to the annihilation of the Lieyang Army, and his guilt cannot be shirked no matter what.

If they are convinced that he has evidence about the queen mother's plan behind the scenes, then they can take the evidence and stab the matter to the emperor first, let the emperor punish Wu'anhou first, negotiate with Wu'anhou in the prison, and tell him Wei The truth about Qi's death, out of resentment towards the eldest princess, he will definitely tell the truth about the queen mother.

So the crux of the problem is how to be sure that Marquis Wu'an has the evidence to bring down the Queen Mother.

Jiang Ziyan analyzed: "If we want to be sure of this, it might be a good way to start with the eldest princess. Besides, she is the queen mother's own daughter. If we start with her, we might be able to find evidence about the queen mother."

People who are related to Marquis Wu'an and the Queen Mother, or people who are relatively close, are definitely the eldest princess.

"You're right, Uncle Chen has asked the hidden guards in the mansion to monitor the whereabouts of the eldest princess, to see if there are any unexpected gains."

Now that they knew Dr. Xu belonged to Song Jie, they no longer guarded against him. Thanks to his presence, Feng Yi's condition gradually stabilized, and his daily waking hours became longer and longer.

Now the secret guards in the entire Rongwang Mansion have more than doubled, and they are surrounded like an iron bucket. I am afraid that something will happen to Feng Yi. He is now the only witness in the Lieyang Army case, and there must be no mistakes.

The person Steward Chen sent to watch the eldest princess was Yin Yi, the leader of the palace's secret guards.Not only is his concealment skill top-notch, but his assassination skills are also top-notch.

It's just that you can't rush this matter, you have to wait slowly.

After that, Lin Zhao was busy with the construction of the Grand Canal.He served as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and there was a Minister of the Ministry of Industry above him, and another Minister of the Ministry of Industry who worked with him.

The construction of the Grand Canal is of great importance, and many things need to be discussed and planned. Fortunately, there is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry on his head, and another minister of the Ministry of Industry to help share the tasks. The burden on Lin Zhao's shoulders is lighter.

Lin Zhao is busy with official business, while Jiang Ziyan is busy with business.With the capital as the center, his business territory began to extend southward, and Jiangji Trading Co., Ltd. gradually flourished in the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty.

A month passed like this, and before Yinyi found any news from the eldest princess, something happened to Jiang Ziyan first.

The winery he opened on the outskirts of Beijing went bankrupt.

The winery is most afraid of fire, and usually dare not even have a spark. After all, things like wine are flammable when exposed to fire, and accidents are easy to cause.

But since it is a winery, the fire prevention measures must be very careful, and it stands to reason that there should be no fire.

But the fact is that not only did it appear, but the fire was also very strong.

Jiang Ziyan was awakened when he received the news. A fire broke out in the winery in the suburbs of Beijing. Because there was too much wine in it, the fire spread, and there was an explosion that resounded through the sky. Everyone in the palace fell asleep. An explosion woke me up.

After Steward Chen came to report the news, he put on his clothes and hurried towards the suburbs of Beijing.

Jiang Ziyan was very anxious. The explosion of the brewery was not a trivial matter. Ordinary water extinguishing would not work at all, and he was worried about casualties.

Lin Zhao saw that he was in a hurry, and his clothes were put on backwards. He comforted him, "Don't worry, the door has been locked right now. Even if you are anxious, you can't get out without an official order."

"How could I not be in a hurry? The wine that is still fermenting in the winery contains a lot of ethanol, which is flammable in case of fire, and it is difficult to extinguish it with just water. When the fire spreads, the nearby workers will be in danger!"

Lin Zhao didn't know what ethanol he was talking about, but it was not difficult to understand, it might be a flammable and explosive substance, he said while putting on his clothes, "I know your worries, I'll go with you, take the According to my son's order, the city gate should be able to let go."

The two of them didn't take the carriage, the carriage was too slow, so they simply asked the servants to lead two horses over, and rode over.

After leaving the room, Jiang Ziyan asked the butler as he walked, speaking quickly: "Do you know how the casualties are now? How is the fire?"

Chen Guanjia said: "The casualties are not yet clear, but the fire is very fierce. The garrison stationed outside Beijing has already rushed to put out the fire."

Jiang Ziyan's heart was wrenching, just listening to the loud noise, he could imagine how violent the fire would be this time.

What he was worried about was not how much loss he would suffer this time, but the workers who came to work in his winery. If they lost their lives because of this, how would they explain to their families?They are the pillars of the family, how sad the family members would be if they heard the news of the death.

Lin Zhao held his hand tightly, and ordered: "Report this matter to the patrol battalion immediately, and ask them to send more people to the suburbs of Beijing to fight the fire. In addition, find more doctors in the city, and let them go with the patrol battalion. go."

"Also, let the patrol battalion prepare some wet quilts and sand to put out the fire. Be sure to tell them to use these two things. Just tell them that water doesn't work, remember?" Jiang Ziyan added.

Butler Chen nodded, "Young master, don't worry, this old servant will remember."

After the servants brought the horses, the two of them got on the horses and headed straight for the city gate.

There is a curfew at the gates of the capital, and it is already midnight, and the gates have already been locked.

When he arrived at the city gate, Jiang Ziyan looked at Lin Zhao, who took out the prince's token from his waist, and said, "The winery in the suburbs of Beijing is leaking, and this prince is going to investigate, so open the city gate quickly."

This is not a lie, because standing on the city wall, you can see the flames burning high in the distance, as well as the thick smoke that keeps rising into the sky.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately opened the city gate, and Jiang Ziyan and Lin Zhao rode straight to the outskirts of Beijing.

It was about a dozen miles away from the city gate to the winery. Jiang Ziyan swung his whip and slapped the horse, causing the horse to run fast, but it took less than half an hour.

As soon as he got off his horse, he saw a lot of people lying or sitting on the open ground, their faces were ashen, and some people had large burns on their bodies.

Seeing such a situation, Jiang Ziyan felt as if he was being tormented.

He saw the manager Qi of the winery with sharp eyes, stepped forward and grabbed him, and asked eagerly, "How is the situation now? How many people were killed or injured?"

Officer Qi said: "Boss, you are here! I was shocked when I heard the sound, but fortunately it was night, everyone went back to rest, and only a few people who were on duty in the winery were unfortunately killed in the fire."

Jiang Ziyan looked sad, "Go back and check the situation carefully. Be sure to comfort their families and give them enough compensation. If the money is not enough, come to me for it."

"Okay, I see." Qi Guan responded.

"And those injured today, no matter how serious the injury is, it is considered a work-related injury. All medical expenses will be charged to my account, and the doctor must prescribe the best medicine for them. You explain all the things I said , tell them not to worry, take good care of their injuries, and I will take care of the winery's affairs."

Lin Zhao felt very distressed when he watched him barely calm down and explain the follow-up matters.

It's useless to say more comforting words at this time, it's better to do something within your ability to help him share some of the burden.

The soldiers of the garrison were still working hard to put out the fire. Jiang Ziyan walked over to see that they were carrying buckets of water from the nearest water source to fight the fire.

Jiang Ziyan found General Mingwei, the person in charge of the garrison, and said, "It's too slow to put out the fire with water. It's like a drop in the bucket. General, you should hurry up and get someone to use wet quilts and sand to pounce on it, so that the fire can be extinguished quickly! When the wind picks up, the fire will spread even more."
