Chapter 546 Speculation
"Just regard Jiang Baichuan as the person behind Wuli Village, and as for the rest, we will not pursue it for the time being?"
Hearing this sentence, Fu Qingzhou immediately raised his eyebrows.
But before he said anything, Ning Wuwu, who was behind Ning Baimei, smiled slightly: "Young hero, please don't get angry and let father finish what he said."
Fu Qingzhou frowned , looked at Ning Baimei: "You said."
"Haha, let's talk as we walk."
Ning Baimei cast her eyes to the other side of the hill: "The scenery there is pretty good."
Obviously, some words need to be avoided by some people.
Although no one else would dare to eavesdrop on what he said as long as he was willing, he still took the lead and led Li Jingzhe, Ning Wuwang, and Fu Qingzhou leisurely towards the other side of the hill.
Fu Qingzhou thought for a moment, quickly calmed down, and followed.
He knew that Jiang Baichuan could not be behind Wuli Village. Acheng had said many times before that there was a "lord" behind them.
It seems that Ning Baimei means...doesn't he want to scare the snake?
How is it possible? The Drizzle Pavilion has been destroyed. The grass that should be beaten and the snakes that should be frightened have been beaten and frightened long ago.
The four of them slowly came to a place more than a hundred steps away from everyone, and Ning Baimei finally stopped.
He stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the mountains and rocks in the distance.
In the night, there are thin clouds covering the moon, the moonlight is hidden and the mountains are shadowed.
"In recent years, the Holy Father has gradually begun to handle government affairs alone. I have been disturbed by other things and have not dealt with government affairs for many years. I don't know who is behind Wuli Village."
Ning Baimei said softly: "But after thinking about it, there are only a few choices."
Then, he slowly spit out a few names.
"The head of the Lan family, Lan Yonghuai, is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"The head of the Yuan family, Yuan Keng, and his brothers, Yuan Ye, the second assistant in the cabinet."
"The chief assistant in the cabinet, Yan Yidong."
"And...King Xishuo, Zhao Liang.”
Hearing these names, Fu Qingzhou’s pupils shrank.
He only knows one person, and that is King Zhao Liang of Xishuo - that is the father of Zhao Hao and the uncle of the current emperor Zhao Yuan.
As for the other people... I have heard of Yuan Ye's name. Isn't Yue Heng's Chu Chumei's grandfather Yuan Ye?
Speaking, Ning Baimei turned her eyes to her son: "Wuwang, tell me, who among them is the most likely?"
Ning Wuwang bowed and said: "Father "I don't know."
Ning Baimei smiled slightly: "Oh? Are you afraid of offending others?"
Ning Wuwu also smiled and said nothing.
Ning Baimei shook her head fondly and helplessly, and looked at Li Jingzhe.
Li Jingzhe was more straightforward and said calmly: "Although the Lan family is powerful and financially powerful, and is closely related to Qianfang Baixiao Tower, Lan Yonghuai is domineering and flamboyant, and cannot do such a thing. The secret matter is not his."
"It is very possible that the two brothers Yuan Keng and Yuan Ye are very powerful among the civil servants in the capital and the local prefectures, and they secretly collude with the Jianghu forces. , Seeking personal gain should be a normal thing."
"Master Yan...it is unlikely. He was personally supported by Master Ning back then, and he is a figure like a saint in the eyes of the poor students. He does not have power in the government, but he is also an important figure used by the Holy Spirit to check the power of the two great families of Yuan and Lan. For him, today's achievements are achieved step by step. He cannot make a mistake by half a step. Things like Wuli Village, etc. It's not like what he did."
"As for King Xishuo..."
After Li Jingzhe hesitated for a moment, he slowly said: "The prince has close contacts with the Wulin Alliance due to the Qianlong Hundred Heroes Conference. He also supports many disciples in the palace. Recently, he has close contacts with the Nebula Chamber of Commerce. His fiefdom is far away in Xishuo. He He is the person with the most ability and the opportunity to do all this."
"But...the prince loves to follow ancient etiquette and is extremely self-disciplined. From Xishuo to the chief envoy to the old farmer and porter, everyone is right. The prince's character is highly praised, and it is difficult for the subordinates to think that he would be that kind of person."
Fu Qingzhou listened quietly and gradually calmed down. Even if he had heard the names of these people, he had no idea about them, and it was impossible for him to tell their identities and personalities like Li Jingzhe did.
There must be a reason why Ning Baimei could point out these people and suspect them to be the people behind Wuli Village, but she knew nothing about them and would only rush in and kill them recklessly.
This at least shows one thing...
I am still too young. When it is time to listen to the words of the seniors, I still have to listen carefully.
After hearing what Li Jingzhe said, Ning Baimei nodded slightly: "Your analysis is good, but there is another possibility."
After thinking about the sentence for a while, he said leisurely : "Two or even three of them have already joined forces... If we say they are the masterminds behind the scenes, they are all."
Li Jingzhe and Ning Wuwang's pupils shrank, and Fu Qingzhou couldn't help but blurt out: "Dayan. So dark? ”
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at him.
Li Jingzhe snorted coldly: "Boy, be careful what you say!"
Ning Baimei chuckled and said softly: "Let's not talk about it for now, Mr. Fu, in your opinion, I Why don't you pursue the case of Wuli Village for now?"
"I'm afraid that boy Zhao Yuan can't do it," Fu Qingzhou shook his head.
He called the emperor by his first name, which made Li Jingzhe tremble all over and Ning Wuwang's eyebrows twitched.
Ning Baimei was very calm and continued to smile: "What should I say?"
"Zhao Yuan is too hot-tempered and does things without caring about the consequences. Moreover, he has been staring at the family recently. I think if he knows what is behind Wuli Village, These people can be ordered to investigate immediately. "
Fu Qingzhou said: "These people are either princes or powerful officials. How happy are they to be investigated suddenly? To put it simply, it's just a throw away. If the scapegoat is fooled and the case is closed, it will be difficult to investigate them again in the future; at worst, if these people are tampering with matters under their respective jurisdictions and making some conspiracies, it will be enough to make Zhao Yuan very anxious, and he may not be able to do it properly. The emperor must admit his mistake to them."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to pretend to find Jiang Baichuan first, and declare to the outside world that Acheng committed suicide in Xiaoyu Pavilion and the clues are broken, so that those behind the scenes can relax their vigilance. , and then extract the information from Acheng and send someone to investigate secretly."
After hearing what he said, Ning Baimei nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right."
He smiled and said: "Of course, now that Xiaoyu Pavilion has been destroyed, the people behind the scenes will be shocked. We...but we have to appease them appropriately."
"Appease?" Fu Qingzhou was startled.
"Yes."
Ning Baimei said slowly: "The hostility shown by the Holy Master towards the family has been very obvious. After this matter is over, he will continue the original debate..."< br>
Speaking of this, Fu Qingzhou slapped his forehead and he almost forgot about it.
“You also know this?” He smiled bitterly.
Ning Baimei chuckled: "This matter is not a trivial matter. Even if I am not in Beijing, it will be known to me."
"Then, do we still have to argue?" Fu Qingzhou asked helplessly road.
Ning Baimei nodded: "Of course the emperor's golden words must be defended - this is why I said that we need to properly appease those who are suspected to be behind the scenes of Wuli Village."
"In this debate, the emperor's intention to attack the family has been clearly exposed, and it will definitely lead to a backlash, but now is not the time."
He said slowly: "Whether it is the case of corruption in the Hongjiang dredging , or the current methods of raising Xiaoyu Pavilion, keeping wanted criminals privately, etc., all show that this person has great ambitions and cannot be underestimated. He needs to relax his vigilance before doing anything."
"As for it. How to comfort..."
His eyes fell on the virtue sword on Fu Qingzhou's back. At this time, the virtue sword had shrunk and only a part of it was exposed.
“Yes.”
Ning Baimei smiled and said: "Just give them the remaining Eight Swords of the King's Way first."
