An Zhixian looked at the letter in his hand:
"The emperor originally granted the marriage because he did not want the Gu family to marry important ministers. Since the marriage has been canceled, we can only make a fuss about the Gu family."
An Nanfeng: "Being with a king is like being with a tiger. The Gu family is so worthless."
An Zhixian: "This result may not be what the Gu family does not want to see. Such compromises can not only dispel the emperor's suspicions, but also allow the emperor to deal with the Gu family's wrongdoing. In the future, he can only treat the Gu family with gentleness. Have the guests in the backyard seen it today? Eat?"
An Nanfeng: "Not only did I eat, but I also had books, a lamp, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. It looked like I had changed."
An Zhixian nodded: "As long as he doesn't leave the room, I'll give him whatever he wants and take good care of him. Are the people in the Duke's Mansion still looking at Lin Jinyan?"
An Nanfeng: "Ling Wu said that those two people didn't seem to be staring at Lin Jinyan, but rather at the people sent by the second prince."
An Zhixian: "The Duke's Mansion and Chu Chengyao have been at each other's throats recently. Seeing Chu Chengyao sending people to follow Lin Jinyan, you will be curious. Just let Ling Wu read this. After Ling Yi's letter, everyone has settled down, Song Yi We've also arrived in Zhangzhou, and when we rescue Song Shuran, we'll see what else Miss Lin wants to do."
An Nanfeng: "With Young Master Feng and Ling Yi escorting us, there will be no problem. We can add so many new people this time, thanks to Miss Lin's news."
An Zhixian said with a serious look: "I'm afraid only Miss Lin can know such top-secret information."
As more and more corpses were identified at the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, various unfavorable personal and material evidence began to point to the Duke's Mansion.
The Minister of Punishment was instructed by the emperor to investigate to the end. Some officials who had old grudges with the Duke of Guo's office also filed impeachments after seeing this. All kinds of illegal things committed by the Duke of Guo's office over the years were brought to the attention of the imperial court.
Under Chu Chengyao's instigation, many people also went to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to beat drums and complain about their grievances, suing the Duke's government for crimes such as oppressing the people, seizing land, bullying the market, and forcing girls into prostitution.
Chu Chengye also asked his officials to report for impeachment. For a time, except for the prince's party and the neutral faction, the Duke's Mansion became the target of civil and military crusade by the entire court.
The queen and the prince were also very anxious. Every day when they went to court, the prince was arguing with various officials who suppressed the government.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and allowed officials to act without stopping them.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.
Qin Zongliang said with a gloomy face: "Chu Chengyao is really pushing the envelope! The impeachment officials are also people who adapt to the wind!"
Xue Ren: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty loves His Highness the Crown Prince deeply, and you only suppressed the Duke's government temporarily."
Qin Zongliang: "That's why the Duke's Mansion cannot do anything. As long as the prince and the queen are safe, the Duke's Mansion will not completely decline. Only by putting the Duke's Mansion in a weak position and allowing His Majesty to do as he wishes, will this The storm will slowly end. How is the matter you were asked to investigate?"
Xue Ren: "I found out that General Anbei and the second young master of the Gu family often go to a teahouse in the south of the city. Taifu Lin is also a frequent visitor to this teahouse. Taifu Lin's little granddaughter of Long Feifei will also occasionally go to buy tea."
Qin Zongliang: "Teahouse? Who owns it?"
Xue Ren: "He is a tea merchant from Zhangzhou who came to Beijing. He has no background in the capital, and no one from his ancestors is an official. General Anbei has a close personal relationship with the young master of the teahouse, and he often takes Er Shao Gu to sit there in his free time."
Qin Zongliang's eyes narrowed slightly: "This teahouse should have a sultry aroma of tea. When General Anbei goes there again, we will also go and have tea."
