From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Zhejiang is the granary of the world, a place where merchants flourish, and the money bag of the Jin Dynasty.

Anyone who can be the governor of Zhejiang is an important official of the court, a pillar of the country, and a confidant of the emperor. Ability, experience, background, and origin are all good.

If you can do a good job as the governor of Zhejiang, you will definitely enter the cabinet after your term.

Therefore, although the governor of Zhejiang is a second-rank official, he is more popular than the general second-rank official, because he has real power and is closer to the cabinet.

Such a minister was killed, and even the Jinyiwei who protected him were all killed... basically means that a huge force is about to rebel.

Because even the most fierce party struggles cannot reach this level, no emperor would allow it.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the three people did not speak, but digested it silently.

After a long time, Qu Ling sighed and said, "It's terrible. Such a terrible case happened in the prosperous Lin'an Prefecture. The key is that it has never been reported."

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "If it had been reported, the world would have been in chaos."

Ye Qingying said, "The tragedy happened at noon. In the afternoon, the Inner Court responded and took over the crime scene directly. All corpses and items were seized, and all people who knew about it were placed under house arrest to ensure that the news would not be leaked."

"The pigeons were sent to the capital. His Majesty was furious. He gathered the power of the Inner Court to investigate the case and complete it. All the Jinyiwei were isolated outside. "

"The head of our inner court department came to Lin'an in person to supervise the case..."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingying whispered: "With the imperial sword and the secret decree written by His Majesty himself, as well as the amulet of Jinling, the 40,000 troops are ready to fight at any time."

Qu Ling took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "It's a big chaos, it's going to be a big chaos, does His Majesty not even trust the soldiers in Zhejiang?"

Her cousin's husband is the son of the governor of Liangjiang, and she is still very worried about this.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "My second sister even knows all this information, which means her rank is not low!"

Ye Qingying was rarely proud, and smiled, "It's just that the master trusts me, and I'm working for His Majesty."

Qu Ling whispered, "Sister Qingying, how will His Majesty deal with this matter? This is a rebellion."

The reason why I asked this question is that everyone in the world knows that the empress is weak and incompetent, and she often signs treaties that humiliate the country and allow the southern chieftains to expand.

This emperor has been criticized.

However, people in the court can see clearly that the four-hundred-year-old Jin Dynasty has long been riddled with holes, and the empress cannot save it.

She tried her best, but she could never do it well.

"Kill!"

Ye Qingying said coldly: "No matter what, the order we received from the Inner Court is to kill! Anyone who is related to the rebellion will be killed!"

Qu Ling shuddered and said, "Is it really that serious?"

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Zhejiang is the money bag of the court. The treasury has been tight in recent years. Whoever dares to take Zhejiang is stabbing your majesty in the neck."

Qu Ling said, "But... who dares to rebel? Annan Hou has no power and no soldiers."

"It can't be the governor of Liangjiang? That's too exaggerated. He is a family of meritorious service for four generations and a descendant of a duke. There is no reason for him to be so!"

Zhou Yuan didn't care about those things, but just asked, "Senior sister, how is the case going?"

Ye Qingying sighed and said helplessly, "Progress is slow. It's been almost a month, and we are still..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan subconsciously shrank his head and said, "If you have something to say, please say it. Don't look like that."

Ye Qingying said, "I remember you are an expert in investigating cases!"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "But I am a member of the Jinyiwei. I am currently a hundred households in the Inspection Department of the Qianhu Office of Lin'an Prefecture. Didn't you say that the Jinyiwei should be excluded from this investigation?"

Ye Qingying hesitated for a while and said, "This time, His Majesty has given me a lot of authority. The main thing is to find out the truth. Forget it. I'll go back and ask for instructions."

Zhou Yuan said, "It seems that I haven't agreed yet..."

"You have to agree even if you don't agree!"

Ye Qingying gritted her teeth and said, "This It's a national event, how dare you not help? "

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I don't care about national events. I just want to get promoted and make money. I don't dare to get involved in rebellion."

"You!"

Ye Qingying glared and said, "How dare you say such a thing? Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"

Zhou Yuan said, "I am a Jinyiwei, and I also have the authority in this regard."

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."

Qu Ling hurriedly came out to make peace, saying, "Zhou Yuan, you and Qingying are senior and junior sisters, and you are also very good friends. You should help."

Ye Qingying nodded quickly.

Qu Ling said again, "Sister Qingying,Zhou Yuan is a member of the Jinyiwei system. If he helps you, it will undoubtedly be equal to betrayal. Have you considered this? "

Ye Qingying was slightly stunned, and then she remembered that there was still this. What if he knew the case and revealed it to the Jinyiwei!

Qu Ling said: "How about this, Zhou Yuan, you disguise yourself and pretend to be my friend, and use this identity to help sister Qingying."

"And sister Qingying, you also show some appreciation, give some benefits, and let Zhou Yuan help you keep the case secret."

"Wouldn't everyone be happy this way!"

Ye Qingying thought about it and felt that she was still taking advantage, so she squinted and smiled, saying: "Little Junior Brother, you won't disagree, right?"

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "It is a matter of family and country, and it is my duty, but what benefits does the second senior sister want to give me? I don't lack money. "

Ye Qingying was stunned, and didn't think of what benefits to give, so she simply asked: "What do you want? "

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "What do I want, will Senior Sister give me?"

Ye Qingying seemed to remember something, her face suddenly changed, she stood up immediately, and put her right hand on the hilt of the knife.

She said coldly, "What do you want!"

"I want Senior Sister..."

At this point, Zhou Yuan changed the subject and said with a smile, "I want the clothes on Senior Sister's body."

Ye Qingying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately you know the limits, otherwise I will make you look bad today."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "How can I say anything nonsense? I also want to thank Senior Sister for sending me the information."

Ye Qingying snorted, "It's good that you know. I asked the chief for this information. It's not easy."

Qu Ling said, "Okay, I've prepared some wine and food, let's talk while eating."

"I haven't seen Sister Qingying for a long time. It's not easy to get together today. Let's have a few drinks. "

Ye Qingying covered her mouth and laughed, "How can it be so long? I went to Lin'an Prefecture to see you four months ago."

"Four months is a long time."

Qu Ling smiled and pulled her out.

Zhou Yuan stood up slowly, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

The governor of Zhejiang Province died, and the situation was more serious than expected. Something big was going to happen in Lin'an Prefecture.

Now the investigation of the gambling house in the south of the city has become a trivial matter, and the real big thing has been avoided around the murder of the governor.

The key is that it has been almost a month!

The empress may not be able to hold on!

Once the important officials of the court found out that the governor was killed, they would definitely write to the emperor and send an imperial envoy, and Lin'an Prefecture would rebel.

Perhaps all the worries will happen in a flash!

Perhaps the rebellion will happen in the next few days.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan felt cold all over, as if he was trapped in an ice cellar.
