Chapter 86: Brocade Letters
Two or three days have passed since the Leng family was destroyed, and the news was leaked. There were a lot of discussions in the capital. The people said it was heard and spread rumors, but the officials and gentry of the rich family were panicked, fearing that the next one would be the one who would suffer.
All kinds of rumors were rampant, and Emperor Yongding was furious and ordered Prince Mingzhao to blame the case, appease the people, and stabilize the capital. Looking at the mess in front of him, Prince Mingzhao also had a headache.
The more you suppress the rumors, the more fierce it is. He understands this principle, and naturally he will not foolishly issue any ban orders at this sensitive time. But if he does not do anything, it will be difficult for Emperor Yongding to submit a job.
"Brother of the Crown Prince, did you think of a good idea?" The same headache was also Wang Mingkai. Emperor Yongding pointed him to Ming Zhao as his deputy this time. If the prince couldn't do his job well, he would not have any good results.
Prince Mingzhao shook his head and sighed, "This time the matter is too serious. Originally, the best way to stop the rumors was to create another more sensational rumor, but now, what can be more sensational than the family of the richest man in the capital being wiped out overnight?"
But the murderer was mysterious and had no idea. If Ye Shurui had not found the cause of the fatal death of the Leng family, they would have been afraid that they might even die. Thinking of this, he had a solution, but... after thinking about it, he still had to collude with Ye Shurui.
Ye Shurui has not left his home these days. On Minglan Street, he has never seen him roaring at his friends again, nor has he seen him singing in the brothel at night, leaning against the red and green. However, in the past few days, everyone has been hiding the Leng family's family extermination case, and few people have noticed Ye Shurui's abnormality.
Since Prince Mingzhao was looking for him to discuss matters, he asked a few casually, and then he realized something was wrong. When did this kid change his temper?
When Prince Mingzhao came to Prince Jin's Mansion, Ye Shurui was lying in his study in Qing'an Garden to write a copybook.
"Oh, when did the little devil in the world change his temper and he actually gets idle to write a copybook?" Ming Zhao was really shocked. Even if Ye Shurui didn't leave the house, he would have had some new fun in the mansion. Such a serious copybook is so weird.
Facts have proved that Prince Mingzhao still has enough understanding of Ye Shurui, and Ye Shurui is indeed not idle and has to pass the time by writing copybooks. This guy is bored and sent someone to check the whereabouts of Huokui and Yinzhen. Now he is anxious to wait for the news, but he can't do anything on the surface. Therefore, he has to write a letter to Nalan every few days.
He went to the General's Mansion twice, but he didn't even see his personal shadow. He couldn't figure it out, but why didn't Nalan Wan see him? He talked with the old general Nalan all over the world, but in the end he didn't even leave him for food. Ye Shurui felt so upset that he simply stopped going.
If people don’t go, letters will come. At first, Nalan Wan thought there was some important news, but every time he opened it, Ye Shurui was talking about his family’s problems. For example, today he was so bored that he ate an extra bowl of rice. Tomorrow, a butterfly flew from somewhere in his garden. He stopped at his windowsill and couldn’t drive it away. He thought that the butterfly changed late and night, or something like that. In short, it was nonsense all over the whole article.
When Nalan Wan first received his letter, her face looked very colorful and she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Is this what Ye Shurui did? Thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is what Ye Shurui could do!
At the Jinwang Mansion, Ye Shurui heard Ming Zhao's voice, quickly put away his pen and ink, smacked his lips, "Who told you that I am writing a copybook?"
"It's not a copybook, what are you doing?" Ming Zhao was curious.
"Write a letter to my little beauty." Ye Shurui smiled proudly and then collapsed, "But she has received so many letters from this king, but she has never replied a single letter. I am so sad."
Ming Zhao was really shocked by Ye Shurui. Looking at his pretending to be sad, he said with a funny look, "There are women in the capital that you can't handle? Who? Let me be happy with it."
Ye Shurui smiled without saying a word, telling him that he was not sick!
"I'm afraid I can't do anything about being happy. What's wrong with you coming to find me?"
Ming Zhao glared at Ye Shurui, and this kid would change the subject! But he really had something to come to him.
"My father ordered me to deal with the case of Leng's family's destruction. Now rumors are everywhere in the capital and people are in panic. Shu Rui, what can you stop the rumors?"
Ye Shurui showed an obvious smile and put one hand on his shoulder, "Defending the people's mouth is worse than defending against rivers. As the prince, you should understand this principle better than me. The more you don't let these people spread, the more powerful it will be. In my opinion, it's better to let it go. What you should do most now is to check how the news leaked."
Ming Zhao lifted his hand and said, "I have already started to investigate the leak of the news, but this rumor..."
Seeing him in a dilemma, Ye Shurui smiled and said, "Tell me, is there any way to ask me to help you?"
Ming Zhao nodded sincerely, "You said that if I release the Leng family, it is because Huokui..."
"No." Before Ming Zhao finished speaking, Ye Shurui calmed down and stopped drinking, instantly understanding his purpose today.
"Why is this?" Ming Zhao didn't understand, "Huokui has been stolen, and whether or not he can say it can't change the result."
Ye Shurui glanced at him lightly, "Do you know how many people will be jealous as soon as your remarks come out, and how many forces will be involved in the battle for Huokui? How many unknown dangers and difficulties will it cause to Gu Yang and the others to recover Huokui?"
What kind of harm will it cause to Wanwan's life?
Ming Zhao was speechless, but he still asked what he was confused about, "Shu Rui, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between Gu Yang and you in life? Are you protecting this little Jianghu organization important to find the capital stability?"
"Okay, I'll tell you honestly." Ye Shurui saw Ming Zhao's appearance that I would ignore you if you didn't say anything. For him, it is the most important thing for the capital to stabilize the world! "What about Gu Yang, so what about Huoyang Tower? I actually don't care at all. What I care about is whether they can find Huo Kui as soon as possible. I'm waiting for this thing to save my life!"
"Help?" Ming Zhao's pupils shrank, "Who's life? Yours?"
"Don't worry about this, I don't want people to know." Ye Shurui really couldn't judge whether the capital city's An Ding or Nalan Wan was more important in Mingzhao's mind, so it would be better not to try it.
Ming Zhao nodded, expressing his intentions, and secretly thanked that he had come here today. If Ye Shurui hadn't asked, he would do it directly, I'm afraid that even his friends and brothers would not be able to do it with him.
"Okay, I understand you, then should you relieve my worries and worries?"
Seeing that he understood and respected his wishes, Ye Shurui patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said, "What a big deal? Should you urge the Ministry of Rites to decide on the marriage alliance?"
