C501 501 cannot be lost

"Now that we have some clues, I would like to come back and rest for a while. I will accompany you to finish using the Evening meal before returning."

Liu Ruo Qing ordered the servants to pass the meals to the main yard, and the couple stayed in the room to eat.

"How long will it take for this case to end?"

Recently, Yan Yuan had become a little thinner. Furthermore, the poison in her body had not been cleansed completely, so after being exhausted for a while, Liu Ruo Qing was worried that his body might not be able to take it.

"Recently, we have been secretly investigating the King Wei. The case should be over in less than half a month."

"King Wei?"

Liu Ruo Qing paused when she was eating and asked, "Is the death of Minister Xing related to the King Wei?"

"Yes."

Yan Yuan nodded and placed some of the food in Liu Ruo Qing's bowl before continuing: "We found out that before Minister Xing died, he was secretly investigating the case of Imperial Physician Chen Rong's family being exterminated five years ago. Minister Xing has the evidence of that case in his hands, and we recently investigated and found out that the evidence of the family extermination case was all pointed towards the King Wei."

"So you're saying, it's very likely that King Wei sent a death warrior to silence Minister Xing?"

"That's right."

Yan Yuan nodded his head, "King Wei was the commander of the Imperial Guards in the previous dynasty. When royal father led his troops to the capital, he was the one who opened the city gates and allowed royal father's army to enter the forbidden palace.

After knowing that the King Wei was obtained by selling off the previous dynasty's Kaiser, Liu Ruo Qing curled her lips in disdain, "This kind of dog that wants to sell its master's honor, if he can sell off the previous dynasty, he might sell out today. You guys must be careful." Yan Yuan laughed, and naturally understood what Liu Ruo Qing meant.

The King Wei was a person who had great merits and a strong heart. Furthermore, he was good at camping, so he would stand on any side that was beneficial to him.

That year, royal father had sensed it, but he had done a great service to the current dynasty, so royal father did not do that kind of thing. He did not do anything to the King Wei and gave him a king, but he had secretly sent many people to suppress the King Wei, to prevent him from making any big moves.

Based on King Wei's thoughts, it was impossible for him not to understand this point.

Therefore, he would definitely not sit still and wait for death. In the past few years, although he did not do anything on the surface, it did not mean that he did not do anything in private.

And the things that the King Wei was doing behind the scenes was definitely not simple.

But did not explain in detail about this matter, it was a matter of the imperial court, and he did not want Liu Ruo Qing to worry about it.

"Don't worry, King Wei won't dare to touch my head easily."

Yan Yuan patted the back of Liu Ruo Qing's hand, reassuring her. After the couple finished dinner and chatted for a while, Yan Yuan went back to marble temple.

Half a month later, news had spread that Lu Li, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had been detained for murdering Xing Yao, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice. Lu Li had been sentenced to prison in the Ministry of Justice.

When Liu Ruo Qing heard this news, she was extremely surprised.

Didn't they say that King Wei killed him? How did he become the Assistant Minister of Revenue?

When Yan Yuan returned to the Duke Palaces, Liu Ruo Qing asked this question. However, Yan Yuan gave a mysterious smile and said, "King Wei can't move right now, there's still a thread behind him that hasn't been pulled out. However, in the case of Minister Xing, there must be someone who carries this burden."

"But why the Assistant Minister of Revenue?"

"A few years ago, there was a case involving food for disaster relief and the Ministry of Revenue was responsible for distributing food for disaster relief. Minister Xing also found out that Lu Li had coveted several hundred thousand taels of silver during that time. Just this crime alone is enough for Lu Li to die ten times.

Yan Yuan spoke in a rather casual manner, "Moreover, although Lu Li does not seem to have any connections with the King Wei on the surface, he is secretly a member of the King Wei.

"Are you saying that Lu Li's coveted money might very well have entered the King Wei's pocket?"

"Not a possibility, but a certainty! Although King Wei does not have any military power, he had his men privately recruit two hundred thousand troops from the northwest. By the time the imperial government found out, the two hundred thousand army had already reached its climax and could not easily touch him. Otherwise, it would cause chaos in the northwest.

It sounded really complicated.

Liu Ruo Qing took in a deep breath. Never would she have thought that a King Wei who didn't look much at all could actually be considered to be rather capable.

He recalled that not only did he beat Wei Ling up, he also shaved off Wei Ling's hair. Most likely, he was hated by the King Wei, so if she fell into his hands, she would at least lose a layer of skin.

Thinking this, Liu Ruo Qing couldn't help but shiver, and tightly grabbed onto Yan Yuan's arm: "You must not lose to King Wei."

Yan Yuan knew that she had remembered something, and smiled. He extended his hand and scratched her nose, and said: "Now you know how to be afraid?"

Back then, this girl did not show any mercy when she hit Wei Ling.

Having his thoughts seen through by Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing felt slightly embarrassed. After that, he hugged onto Yan Yuan's arm fawningly and said: "I'm not scared. How could a mere fence-sitter like me be a match for my husband."

Although he knew that Liu Ruo Qing was just flattering him, hearing his beloved wife praise him like that was still very enjoyable for the Prince Jing.

Although the undercurrents were turbulent between the vassal lords, no one dared to act rashly.

The reason why the imperial government hadn't withdrawn all of their military power back then was so that they could control each other. Thus, after three dynasties, the political situation within the imperial court was relatively stable.
