Chapter 163 The mastermind and accomplices
Therefore, he began to tell Su Mumu the results he had found in the past few days.
"I secretly sneaked back to the Ansha Gate and got the portrait of my adoptive father that my employer had given me in his room. I went to inquire and found out that this portrait was made by a craftsman from Nanqi Palace.
Painted by a painter who passed the palace."
Sure enough, he is from the palace!
Su Mumu murmured secretly in her heart, and immediately asked: "Have you found the painter?"
"Found it." Cang Ming nodded and continued, "I asked the painter who asked him to paint that painting, but the painter said that he had never seen that person's face. Every time he met, he said
We were in the private room of Feng Lai Restaurant, and there was a screen in the middle, so we couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but from the sound of his voice, he was a young man."
Young? "Does the painter have the voice to describe that young man?"
Su Mumu recalled carefully that when she was caught in the unknown villa, she overheard the conversation between the two people. Judging from the voices, there was indeed an older one and a younger one.
But apart from the two people behind the scenes, it seems that the older one is the mastermind, and the younger one is just an accomplice.
I wonder if the young voice the painter heard and the voice she heard in the garden that day belonged to the same person.
"That's not true." Cang Ming shook his head and said, "Through a screen, even if you can hear the voice of a young man, you may not be able to hear the true tone of that person's voice."
Su Mumu thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason, so she motioned for Cang Ming to continue.
"Later I asked the waiter at Fenglailou. The waiter had some impressions of the young man. He said that the young man was ugly or something. He was wearing a wind pocket, and his face seemed to be covered under the wind pocket.
He was wearing a cloth and didn't even take it off when he left. The waiter didn't have the nerve to ask more questions, but the material on the young man's clothes was from the 'Tianbao Embroidery Workshop' in the west of the city."
Tianbao Embroidery Workshop, Su Mumu and Nan Muchen both knew that it was the most famous embroidery workshop in Nandu City, and most of the people who came in and out were dignitaries.
The craftsmanship in sewing clothes is naturally top-notch, but the most distinctive feature is that the ready-made clothes from Tianbao Embroidery Workshop are made of gold thread from embroidery to sewing, and are mostly decorated with jade stones. They are extremely luxurious and therefore deeply loved.
Favored by some vain dignitaries and famous ladies.
Precisely because the clothes of Tianbao Embroidery Shop are expensive, ordinary people cannot afford to wear them.
If the clothes of the mysterious young master come from Tianbao Embroidery Workshop, it means that his identity is either rich or noble, and his identity can be traced!
"Later, I followed this point and traced it to Tianbao Embroidery Workshop, and I actually found a person!"
"Who?" Su Mumu asked nervously.
"Tian Zhan."
"Tian Zhan?" Nan Muchen frowned, "That Tian Zhan who has been idle all day, but recently became the Minister of Household Affairs?"
Cang Ming responded: "Yes, it's him."
Su Mumu may have never heard of this name, but Nan Muchen knows it clearly.
Speaking of Tian Zhan, he has an average appearance, let alone qualifications. He spends his days idle and addicted to fireworks and willow alleys. He is a well-known libertine in Southern Capital and has a notorious reputation.
I took the imperial examination twice, but failed both times, so I simply didn’t take the exam again.
But I didn't expect that such a idiot was suddenly given an official title by Nan Muze a while ago. He was appointed Minister of Household Affairs and changed from a libertine to a serious third-rank official!
In fact, Nan Muchen and Tian Zhan had nothing to do with each other, just because Nan Muchen always secretly called him out a while ago, just because of Tian Zhan's matter.
Prime Minister Tian Yi, Tian Zhan's uncle, is now the dominant family in the court and secretly bribes countless officials.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Nan Muze was afraid that if Tian Yi launched a coup one day, he would not be able to resist it, so he approached him, hoping that he would return to the court, and asked him to lend him a shadow guard.
Although Nan Muze was passive on this point, Mu Chen had no such scruples at all.
Back then, he was still the glorious King of Ding with a large number of troops. That Tian Yi spent a lot of effort to win over him and even sowed a relationship between him and Nan Muze.
Little did they know that Tian Yi's little thoughts had already been revealed by Nan Muchen, so he sent shadow guards to secretly investigate Tian Yi.
Until now, he still has evidence from the Shadow Guard investigation, and if he gives that evidence to Nan Muze, then Tian Yi will definitely be sentenced to death!
But Nan Muchen had a grudge against Empress Dowager Xu, and he was not interested in matters in the court. He believed that he did not want to help, and had no obligation to help Empress Dowager Xu and Nan Muchen.
But now, that bullshit prime minister's nephew actually has his mind set on Su Mumu?
Nan Muchen can't sit idly by and ignore this.
"Hey, hey, hey, who is Tian Zhan, who is the Minister of War, what are you talking about?" Su Mumu obviously didn't understand what they were talking about, and was not willing to be ignored, so she couldn't help but interjected and asked.
I thought that these two men disliked each other, but I didn't expect that when they discussed this person named Tian Zhan, they actually sang in harmony and left her aside who was confused.
It seems that she was the one who asked Cang Ming to investigate the matter in the first place.
At first, Nan Muchen lacked interest and resisted asking him to do a favor. Why is he so active now?
"Tian Zhan is the nephew of the then Prime Minister Tian Yi." Cang Ming did not speak this time, but it was Nan Muchen who explained to Su Mumu.
Well, nephew?
Su Mumu suddenly had a flash of light in her mind, as if she thought of something: "Nan Muchen, that is to say, the man named Tian Yi is Tian Zhan's uncle, right?"
Nan Muchen gave Su Mumu a very strange look and nodded.
"That's right!" Su Mumu's mind suddenly enlightened and she said excitedly, "When I was captured by people from the Ansha Sect, I heard the conversation between two people. It was through their conversation that I heard
He told them about their conspiracy. I remember that the young one among them called the other person uncle!"
This way we can be sure that the mastermind is Tian Yi!
The two of them worked together in an attempt to achieve their own unknown goals by destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries!
And now that the identities of the two of them have been found out, it's not far away from knowing the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes!
"Tian Yi, Tian Zhan" Nan Muchen's delicate peach blossom eyes almost narrowed into a straight line, flashing with a dangerous light, chewing these two names in his mouth, as if he wanted to chew them up
Average.
