Three hundred and sixtieth chapters pull people into the water
Although Qin Dewei wanted to test Xu Xiaodi, he did not want to waste time and reminded:
"This matter is very simple. Think about it, what is your status now? Does your classmate Si Sheng know about it?"
Xu Miaojing was inspired and thought, what is his status now? He was seconded by Eunuch Qin to handle the case.
As for whether the classmates knew it? Of course they did. After all, Eunuch Qin was publicly selected in the Jingwei Martial Arts School.
So that’s it! Xu Miaojing suddenly realized that what her brother-in-law had said long ago was that the Si family was Zhang Yanling’s minions!
So Xu Miaojing said to Ren Xiaoyi: "Sister Ren, please do me a favor. Can you send someone to inform that Si Qianshi? Just say that Xu Miaojing is here waiting to see him."
Qin Dewei smiled happily, Xu Xiaodi has finally grown up, things are so simple!
As Si Cong's minion who has served Zhang Yanling for twenty years, Zhang Yanling is imprisoned. Can Si Cong sit peacefully at home?
Now that Eunuch Qin was out of the palace to handle Zhang Yanling's case in a high-profile manner, a seconded case handler asked Si Cong to meet in private.
Moreover, it was through an old friend and meeting him at a familiar place was an expression of goodwill. Can Si Cong come to meet him?
Ren Xiaoyi also hoped that the big benefactor would come to support him, so he was happy to send someone to help spread the word.
The Si family also lives in Xicheng, so the distance is not too far.
About half an hour later, Qin Dewei saw a middle-aged man with brocade robes and arrow sleeves hurriedly walking into the courtyard with two followers.
When this man saw Qin Dewei and Xu Miaojing, he could immediately guess their identities. He first said to Xu Miaojing: "I am the commanding officer Sicong. I wonder what little brother Xu has to say?"
Xu Miaojing looked at her brother-in-law. He was called over, but he really didn't know what to say! This was an exam question, and it was already beyond the scope!
Of course, Qin Dewei did not expect Xu Xiaodi to be able to take charge immediately, so he spoke on behalf of Xu Miaojing:
"I am Qin Dewei, and I think you, the senior official, have heard of it! Everyone, sit down and talk! I have a big deal, and I want to discuss it in detail with the senior official, Si!"
Si Cong was not too surprised when he heard the words Qin Dewei, but he knew in his heart that we might really have to talk about something tonight.
Of course he had heard about Qin Dewei, the Fourth Iron martyr, and knew that this man was not a simple person and should not be underestimated because of his age.
Qin Dewei didn't mention Ren Xiaoyi's attempt to seduce him, so Si Cong was happy to pretend to be confused.
The three of them sat around, even Ren Xiaoyi kicked them out.
Then Qin Dewei said: "I heard that Si Daguan is working for Lord Zhang. Now that Zhang Houye has been imprisoned, what are Si Daguan's plans in the future?"
Si Cong could not easily confide his feelings to a stranger: "I have no plans. I'll just wait until Mr. Hou is released from prison. I have an iron book on alchemy at home, and the Queen Mother intercedes in the palace, so I can always be exempted from guilt."
This is not to pretend to be confused, many people think this way.
Qin Dewei asked again: "Do you know that even though Lord Zhang has been imprisoned and the Ministry of Punishment has completed the trial, why does Eunuch Qin still come out of the palace to handle the case?"
Si Cong still responded in a flawless manner: "How can I know the thoughts of a big man like Eunuch Qin?"
Qin Dewei smiled and said, "It's not for anything else, just wealth! It's said that the Zhang family is the richest man in the capital. Who wouldn't be jealous?
As far as I know, there are about 20,000 hectares of farmland, more than a hundred shops from the capital to the canal, and it is the largest private salt merchant in the north.
From the Hongzhi Dynasty to the present, I have accumulated so much wealth in forty years."
Xu Miaojing listened and pondered and understood.
Neither Eunuch Qin nor they, the main purpose of handling the case was for money, but at this moment Qin Dewei's words really sounded like they were doing it for money.
Is this a trick to deceive people? Or is it a deliberate attempt to confuse the other party?
Although Si Cong remained silent, he was secretly surprised. Although these situations were simple, not everyone could explain them clearly.
It seems that the other party is really prepared. If it is said that it is for money, he really believes it. Otherwise, what is the purpose of investigating this?
No matter who is greedy for money, there are definitely people who want to be greedy for money.
Qin Dewei probed again: "Now that the Zhang family can't do anything anymore, do the senior officials really have no ideas?"
Si Cong responded: "I don't have the ability to save Mr. Hou from prison. Of course I don't know what to do at home. Little brother Qin might as well point out a clear path."
Qin Dewei laughed a few times: "Don't you, senior officials, hear that good birds choose trees to roost in, and those who know the current affairs are heroes?"
I don’t know what others think, but Xu Miaojing always feels that Qin Dewei’s lines are a bit like the villain in a novel, the kind that pulls people into trouble and persuades them to be good.
Qin Dewei asked again: "The senior official Si has worked for the Zhang family for many years. I wonder if he has any clues about the Zhang family?
If there is, this is a way to make money. You can go to the Zhang family to exchange money! If you can't forgive me, we can cooperate or make things happen on your behalf!"
Si Cong fell into deep thought again. Although he had made some money after following the Zhang family for so many years, it was just like a few coins missing from the fingers of the Zhang family.
Now that the Zhang family is in trouble, the first thing I have to consider is how to avoid implicating myself, and the second is how to scrape some of the Zhang family's wealth.
Although Qin Dewei and Xu Miaojing are young, Qin Dewei has the support of the civil servants behind him, and Xu Miaojing has the appreciation of the Qin eunuch behind him, so he is qualified to cooperate.
Even though we are not familiar with each other, I am not very reassured yet, and many of my words come out abruptly.
Qin Dewei was not in a hurry and waited for Si Cong to think slowly.
What he just said were actually things that his superior Sicong had done in history, and he just gave some guidance.
Qin Dewei's ultimate goal was actually to get out the manuscript of Cao Zu's letter 20 years ago accusing Zhang Yanling of "scheming evil".
This is a kind of indirect physical evidence. Whoever has the manuscript is most likely to be the person who killed Cao Zu.
It doesn't matter whether Zhang Yanling had any "intentional conspiracy" or not, as long as the fact of killing people and silencing them is enough.
At this moment, three more people suddenly walked into the yard.
There were already four entourages brought by Qin Dewei in the courtyard, and then Si Cong brought two more. Now three more people came in, and the courtyard was immediately crowded.
Qin Dewei shouted to the servant outside the door: "What's going on? How can you let people in without permission?"
One of the people who came said: "Where does the East Factory tolerance go, and do I need to report to you?"
Qin Dewei sounded familiar. He took a closer look by the light of the lantern in the courtyard and found that he was someone he knew!
At the beginning, the Dongchang official who had been looking for me several times seemed to be named Si Min!
But Si Min didn't come to see Qin Dewei this time. He said to Si Cong: "Fifth brother! I went home to find you but I didn't see you. I learned that you are here!"
It turns out that Si Min and Si Cong are the same generation from the same clan but different families, so they are considered brothers.
Si Cong calmly asked: "What do you want from me?"
Si Min made it clear: "I'm not looking for you, the factory owner is looking for you!"
Qin Dewei and Si Cong himself all changed their faces.
The name of Admiral Dongchang is indeed so loud that anyone who hears it will be startled.
