“What’s the matter?” he asked.
Zhang Ronghua took out the memorial from his sleeve and placed it in front of him. Facing his confusion, Zhang Ronghua explained the matter.
After listening.
The smile on Li Daoran’s face disappeared as he read the memorial. He knew more than Zhang Ronghua. Zhou Xuewen was Grand Secretary Cui’s man and his student. Back then, Grand Secretary Cui had invigilated the Fall Quarter Examinations. After high school, Li Daoran had visited him, allowing him to rise to fame.
After reading it once, he put down the memorial.”
Then, he took out the voice recording stone and inserted a bit of Xuanhuang True Essence into it. His conversation with Yue Heng and the changes in the contents of the memorial were played.
Li Daoran stretched out two fingers and knocked on the table, making a “dong dong” sound. In front of Zhang Ronghua, he did not hide anything. They were all on the same side. He said in a deep voice, “The First Prince wants to use you to get rid of Zhou Xuewen and make you take the blame!”
Hearing that Zhou Xuewen was working for Grand Secretary Cui, Zhang Ronghua understood the whole story.
After he died, the news would reach Grand Secretary Cui and he would tamper with the memorial without permission. The evidence would be irrefutable, and no one would be able to protect him, let alone the Crown Prince!
From the looks of it, the First Prince and Grand Secretary Cui didn’t get along. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wanted to use him to get rid of Zhou Xuewen.
He wanted to provoke a fight between Grand Secretary Cui and the Crown Prince!
“What do you think, sir?” Zhang Ronghua asked.”
“If Lord Pei wants to enter the pavilion, he has enough qualifications. He still lacks a little help! Apart from that, Grand Secretary Cui was also the biggest obstacle to his entry.”
“It’s not convenient for this lowly official to come forward.”
They looked at each other and smiled.
Both of them were smart people and understood the meaning behind each other’s words.
Li Daoran took this memorial to see Pei Caicai. He would only know if he wanted to give it to him or not when he saw it. However, from the current situation, no one would show mercy to their political enemies. Now that someone had sent a knife over, it would be a waste not to kill Zhou Xuewen!
Zhang Ronghua’s meaning was very clear. Qian Wenli, Rong Qinggui, and Yue Heng had to die!
“Qinglin, please take a seat.”
After putting the memorial into his sleeve, Li Daoran walked out.
Zhang Ronghua poured a cup of tea and waited.
On the other side.
Rong Qinggui had sent people to keep an eye on Zhang Ronghua’s actions. Seeing that he didn’t leave and went to Li Daoran’s place instead, he didn’t know what was going on. He panicked and felt that something big had happened. He hurriedly found Qian Wenli and reported the news.
After listening.
Qian Wenli patted his shoulder with a gentle smile and gave him a reassuring look. “Don’t think too much. Nothing will happen.”
Rong Qinggui felt that it was right. It was just an ordinary memorial. It wasn’t
like he hadn’t seen it before. What could have happened?
“Sir, what did you do?” he asked.”
“I didn’t tamper with the memorial. I used another method to deal with him!”
Seeing that he was about to ask, Qian Wenli waved his hand to interrupt him and said,”lt’s not the right time yet. There’s no sense of mystery if I say it out loud. ”
“Yes.” Rong Qinggui was relieved and turned to leave.
When the door closed.
The smile on Qian Wenli’s face disappeared and he immediately turned cold. He muttered to himself. The potion’s time had passed. Since he went to look for Li Daoran, he must have discovered it, right? If you don’t, I’ll punish you for dereliction of duty!
If he sent it over, Zhou Xuewen would die!
If Zhang Ronghua took the blame, it would at most implicate Yue Heng and Rong Qinggui. It had nothing to do with him!
When he handed the memorial to Rong Qinggui, the latter had already read it, and it was not the current content.
The conflict between Grand Secretary Cui and the Crown Prince would also develop, and the good show was yet to come.
“Don’t let anyone disturb you without my orders!’”‘
Very quickly.
Li Daoran returned and handed the memorial to Zhang Ronghua. The result was as he had guessed. Pei Caihua would not let go of this opportunity and decided to take down Zhou Xuewen.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ease up with Grand Secretary Cui, but the conflict between them was very serious!
If it wasn’t for him, Pei Caicai would have entered the pavilion long ago. Obstructing someone’s official path was no less than a blood feud. They were already mortal enemies, so why didn’t he kill them? Let the First Prince and Elder Cui fight each other!
‘Go! I’ll wait for your news.”
Zhang Ronghua replied and stood up from his chair. He put the memorial into his sleeve and walked out.
Li Daoran sighed.” At such a young age, he already has a deep understanding of the officialdom. There are still people taking care of him from above. Why worry about not being able to become one of the three dukes in the future?’”‘ He left the Scholar’s Hall and walked towards the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice was also in the outer palace. The first time they went there, they didn’t know the way. They asked the Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army and got the exact location from them. They went all the way there.
At this point, he was stopped by the Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army at the entrance.
“I’m following the orders of the higher- ups to hand over the memorial from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to the Minister of Justice, Lord Duan! ”
The general went in to report and returned very quickly. He brought him into the Ministry of Justice, entered a hall, and left.
Zhang Ronghua was stopped by two guards when he walked out of the palace door. The person on the left said, “Sir is currently handling official business. If there’s anything, leave it to me to transfer it in!”
She took out the memorial and handed it to him before turning around to leave.
After a while.
Duan Jinchou narrowed his eyes and looked at the memorial in his hand. His right hand stroked his beard, and a sharp cold light shot out from his triangular eyes. With his power, how could he not see through this conspiracy? Zhou Xuewen was one of Grand Secretary Cui’s men, and he knew that the higher-ups were trying to kill him.. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on!
