Seeing Qin Wei's appearance, Chu Jiayi was first surprised, then happy.
Qin Wei is responsible for the contact between Zhao Junchen and Xichang. Now that he suddenly asks for a meeting, he must have something important to report! Chu Jiayi can also take this opportunity to find out the intelligence information about Zhao Junchen.
However, after Qin Wei entered the room, he was about to say something, but when he saw Chu Jiayi beside him, he suddenly fell silent.
At this time, Zhao Junchen happened to approve a document. After looking up and seeing Qin Wei's expression, he hesitated for a moment, but then told Chu Jiayi: "I happen to be hungry. Go get some refreshments."
Knowing that she had just arrived at Zhao Junchen's side and that Zhao Junchen didn't trust her yet, Chu Jiayi did not hesitate, agreed and left the study.
However, after leaving the study, Chu Jiayi did not prepare refreshments, but waved to the two servants of the Zhao family who were waiting not far outside the study.
Seeing that it was Chu Jiayi's summons, the two Zhao family servants did not dare to neglect. They quickly came to Chu Jiayi and asked, "Miss Chu, do you have something to tell me?"
Chu Jiayi asked softly: "I forgot to ask just now, what are you two called?"
Seeing Chu Jiayi asking this question, both of them were overjoyed. The taller servant of the Zhao family quickly replied: "For girls, my name is Mao Xin."
The slightly introverted servant of the Zhao family also said, "My name is Lu Ning."
Chu Jiayi nodded, then smiled slightly and said: "Master is hungry and wants to eat some snacks, but I have to prepare pens and sharpen ink for him, but I can't get away..."
Hearing what Chu Jiayi said, Mao Xin quickly replied: "Don't bother Miss Chu about this little thing, we can just go and prepare it."
With that said, Mao Xin didn't hesitate and turned around immediately.
But Lu Ning still stood there, not leaving with Mao Xin, but always wanting to say something to Chu Jiayi.
Seeing Lu Ning's appearance, Chu Jiayi frowned secretly, not wanting to get entangled with him, but she chuckled and added: "By the way, Master, he also wants some tea."
After hearing Chu Jiayi's instructions, Lu Ning looked a little disappointed, but still turned around to prepare tea.
After sending the two of them away, Chu Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one else around the study, then leaned against the window of the study, raised her ears, and listened to the conversation in the study.
…………
Fortunately, Qin Wei's report had just begun, and Chu Jiayi did not miss anything.
In the study room, a rough voice sounded first, it should be Qin Wei speaking.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, Xichang Fanzi has just received news that another refugee is coming to Beijing to file a complaint. This time there are two waves coming at once, all of them are people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Then, Chu Jiayi heard Zhao Junchen's voice: "Oh? Is it because of the flaw in the preparations for the southern tour again? When will they arrive in the capital?"
Qin Wei replied: "According to commentators, these refugees have arrived at the border of Shunde Prefecture in Beizhili and will arrive in Beijing around this time tomorrow."
Zhao Junchen sighed and said: "Now that refugees from all over the country are coming to Beijing to complain, the prince's troubles will probably get bigger and bigger, and it will be impossible to cover it up."
Hearing this, Chu Jiayi's heart sank.
Chu Jiayi has naturally heard about various things that have happened in the capital these days, and also knows about the current troubles of Prince Zhu Heyu. Now that Zhao Junchen mentioned this matter, she naturally listened more carefully.
In the study, Xu Qingyan's voice sounded next: "Master, what should we do?"
Zhao Junchen's voice was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then he said slowly: "The prince's position as prince is stable for three reasons; one is that your majesty values him, the other is his own reputation as a wise man, and the third is
It is the support of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for him. As long as these three people still exist, the prince's status will be as stable as Mount Tai."
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "Now that there are such big flaws in the preparations for the southern tour, Your Majesty will definitely have doubts about the prince's ability to do things; and rumors against the prince have already arisen, even if he wants to quell them,
It is simply impossible, and the prince’s reputation will no longer be as virtuous as before. As a result, two of the three foundations of the prince have been shaken.”
Xu Qingyan responded: "Yes, now the only one left is the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Zhao Junchen smiled and said slowly: "Everything that has happened in the past few days, I am afraid that someone is deliberately targeting the prince, but the method is clever. He has shaken the foundation of the prince without making a sound. How can he let alone now?
The Metropolitan Procuratorate? Yesterday, the refugees from Heze, Shandong Province went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to file a complaint, but under the instigation of some thoughtful people, the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not accept the case. This matter may seem ordinary, but it is a foreshadowing of the case against the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You guys
Think about it, once the flaws in the preparations for the southern tour reach the center of the imperial court, the prince will definitely be in trouble. The refusal of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to accept the refugee case is clear evidence that they are protecting the prince. When the time comes, he will be impeached, and there will definitely be a problem.
The court is being cleaned up and rectified. Once the support of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is lost, the position of the Crown Prince may not be stable."
Xu Qingyan said suddenly: "So that's it. It seems that the prince will be uncomfortable in the future."
Zhao Junchen pondered for a while and then said: "However, those people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have probably thought of this now. When this second batch of refugees enters Beijing, they will definitely accept the cases first. In addition to getting rid of their protection of the prince,
In addition to being suspicious, they also control the subsequent development of the case in their own hands..."
At this point, Zhao Junchen seemed to have made some decision, but he ordered Qin Wei: "Qin Wei, you immediately inform the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple secretly about the arrival of this group of refugees in Beijing, and ask them to get ahead of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Take this group of refugees into our hands. In this way, the next development of the matter will not be decided by the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"I understand." After Qin Wei agreed, he hesitated and said: "However, when the refugees from Heze, Shandong came to Beijing to complain, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple also did not accept the case. Now..."
Zhao Junchen said: "Don't worry, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple did not accept the case at first because they wanted to make the matter bigger. Now that the matter has become bigger, they will think about taking the matter into their own hands."
On the other side, Xu Qingyan already said: "I see, the young master can see clearly."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next, Zhao Junchen discussed some details with Qin Wei. When Qin Wei left the study, he happened to see Chu Jiayi coming to the study door with tea.
He also saw two servants of the Zhao family waiting not far away. Qin Wei did not suspect that Chu Jiayi was eavesdropping. He just nodded to Chu Jiayi and left quickly.
Chu Jiayi looked at Wei Huai's leaving figure, her expression seemed normal, but her thoughts were racing in her heart!
Through eavesdropping outside the study just now, Chu Jiayi got two useful pieces of information.
The first news: Zhao Junchen does not seem to be involved in the various plans for the prince, but he is also happy to see them come to fruition.
The second news: Although Zhao Junchen did not participate in the plan against the prince, he obviously planned to add fuel to the flames and put the prince into an even more unfavorable situation!
"His Royal Highness must be notified as soon as possible and let the Metropolitan Procuratorate take over the refugees who come to Beijing to complain. Otherwise, if it is really like what Zhao Junchen planned, the Crown Prince will be in even more trouble."
Chu Jiayi thought secretly in her heart.
………
While thinking secretly, Chu Jiayi remained calm and just came to the study room with refreshments. She saw that Zhao Junchen's expression was as usual and he was continuing to review the papers.
Chu Jiayi didn't say much. She just brought the tea to Zhao Junchen and said softly: "Master, the tea is here. Let's eat some at work first."
Zhao Junchen nodded, put down the book in his hand, and then picked up a piece of mung bean cake to taste. But after taking a bite, he shook his head and said to Chu Jiayi: "These days, you have been naughty to me.
, such an ordinary pastry always tastes bad."
With that said, Zhao Junchen pushed the pastry aside, but continued to review the folding papers.
Although Chu Jiayi was eager to give the information she had gathered to Prince Zhu Heyu, she also knew that if she suddenly found a reason to leave at such a time, she might arouse Zhao Junchen's suspicion.
Therefore, Chu Jiayi remained calm and continued to prepare pens and sharpen ink for Zhao Junchen, and said softly: "If the master doesn't like it, my maid will prepare your favorite osmanthus cake in a moment."
Zhao Junchen didn't know if he heard it or not, he just nodded and continued to review the notes.
In this way, time passed by, and soon it was evening, and the sky was dim.
Zhao Junchen finally finished reviewing the excerpts, stretched his waist, looked relaxed, and sighed: "It's finally over."
On the other side, Chu Jiayi said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
While talking, Chu Jiayi was already tidying up Zhao Junchen's desk quickly.
Then, Chu Jiayi cautiously asked Zhao Junchen for instructions: "Master, if there is nothing else to do, I will prepare the supper for you tonight."
Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded, and said: "Go, there's nothing going on here, it's good that Qingyan is here."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Chu Jiayi felt happy, saluted Zhao Junchen, and left quickly.
However, when Chu Jiayi left, Zhao Junchen kept his eyes on her back, looking at her thoughtfully.
………
But it was said that after Chu Jiayi left the study, she did not go to the kitchen to prepare the pastries and supper for the evening, but found a reason to leave the Zhao Mansion.
But Chu Jiayi didn't know that since she left the Zhao Mansion, she had been secretly followed by the Xichang police arranged by Wei Huai, and nothing she did was hidden from Zhao Junchen's eyes.
