Chapter 482: Framed

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

How was Zhou Linghuai a prodigy? He was clearly a genius, even better than Song Mingzhao. At the thought of his broken leg, it was extremely regretful. Otherwise, the Yu Residence would have another pillar of talent.

Now, his eldest daughter, whom he had always thought of as stupid, had also been taught by Zhou Linghuai to be an extraordinary woman. Unfortunately, she was a woman.

He did not know what to say.

Old Madam Yu was also speechless for a long time. “Yao Yao, your words hit the nail on the head. Have a good discussion with your aide. Tomorrow, we’ll arrange to meet the Marquis of Zhenguo to discuss with him what to do with Song Xiuwen.”

Yu Zongzheng nodded. “I had the same intention. It’s just that the Zhenguo

Marquis Residence has suffered a huge setback this time.”

Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat. Worried that Yu Zongzheng wouldn’t be able to handle the complicated situation in Zhejiang, she said, “I don’t think so!”

Yu Zongzheng subconsciously looked at Yu Youyao. “Why do you say that?”

Yu Youyao chuckled. “The Marquis of Ningyuan refused to fight at that time and angered the emperor. He was also suppressed by the cabinet, and he was indescribably miserable. He pushed out Song Xiuwen firstly to divert the attention of the cabinet, and secondly, he had the intention to divert the trouble to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.”

All the court officials Imew this very well.

Yu Youyao continued, “Song Xiuwen definitely can’t be saved. If Father interferes in this case, at the very least, he can’t get too involved with the

Zhenguo Marquis Residence. It might not be the case for anyone else. To the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, it’s naturally better for Father to participate in this case than anyone else.”

Old Madam Yu also knew this very well. Yao Yao had specially pointed this out, so there must be a hidden meaning behind her words.

Yu Zongzheng also seemed to sense something. “So?”

Yu Youyao thought for a moment and said, “When Father meets the Marquis of

Zhenguo tomorrow, suggest that Song Mingzhao go south with you as an aide.”

Old Madam Yu laughed when she heard that.

Perhaps others did not understand what she meant, but as an experienced person, how could she not know how brilliant her granddaughter’s actions were?

She glanced at Yu Zongzheng from the corner of her eye. If Song Mingzhao followed him south, this case would be stable.

Yu Zongzheng did not understand the deeper meaning, but he felt that letting Song Mingzhao accompany him was a wonderful move. “Song Mingzhao will accompany me south. It’ll also give the Zhenguo Marquis Residence a way to deal with him, so they won’t be too passive. Moreover, Song Mingzhao has a meritorious status. Three years later, he should participate in the imperial examination and officially step into the royal court. Bringing him along this time is also a form of training for Song Mingzhao. Song Mingzhao’s understanding of Song Xiuwen will also help me investigate the case.”

Yu Youyao glanced at Yu Zongzheng and finally understood why Yu Zongzhengs straightforward temper could always establish himself in the royal court.

Yu Zongzheng was straightforward and did not envy the capable. As long as others’ opinions suited his interests, he was willing to accept them. This was also a merit.

At this moment, Yin Huaixi, who was far away in Youzhou, also received a messenger pigeon from the capital.

Yin Huaixi unfolded the note and smiled. “With Yu Zongzheng’s talent, he’s at the top of the Assistant Minister rank. With the emperor’s attention, it’s not a bad place to place him in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs.”

Yin Qi lowered his head. Young Master’s words were simple.

Although the emperor wanted to put Madam Yu in an important position and Yu Zongzheng’s performance at the three divisions’ trial was indeed commendable by the emperor, it was not easy to arrange for Yu Zongzheng to enter the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs.

He had to grasp the emperor’s thoughts so that he could appropriately follow the emperor’s wishes.

It was also because Song Xiuwen had been unlucky for eight lifetimes that his nephew had harmed him. That was why he had asked Young Master to throw out the jade to lure Song Xiuwen out. He had taken the opportunity to arrange for Yu Zongzheng to help Song Xiuwen with his case so that Yu Zongzheng could take the opportunity to make a contribution. At that time, it would be only logical for him to replace the position of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Yin Huaixi closed his eyes and thought for a moment. “The changes in the court are all due to the Imperial Censor of the Imperial Court. Although he’s a fourth-grade official and his rank isn’t too low, his status is a little low. If he’s not careful, he’ll be easily implicated. Yu Zongzhengs rank is higher, so its enough for him to protect himself.” At this point, he paused for a moment. “A woman depends on her father’s status. Yao Yao will be able to stand tall among the noble ladies in the capital. If people want to bully her, it’s best to think twice.”

If Yu Zongzheng’s official status was higher, even if he had brought his eldest daughter to the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence, the Marquis of

Changxings Residence would not dare to bully him easily.

Madam Yang was seriously ill. Although Concubine Qiu could help socialize outside, she was still from an ordinary family.

Those noble families still needed Yao Yao to step in herself.

She was the eldest daughter of a mother who died after childbirth, and her father’s status was low. Even if she was rewarded and valued by the Empress Dowager, her reputation was just for show. She still had to have a reliable father.

At this moment, Eunuch Zhu’s voice sounded from outside. “Head General Yin, Chang Ningbo is here. He’s waiting outside.”

Yin Huaixi stuffed the note into his sleeve. “Invite him in.”

Yin Qi had already jumped onto the roof beam. Yin Qi was someone Yin Huaixi had planted in the palace guards, so he was not worried about exposing his identity.

Eunuch Zhu responded and soon led Chang Ningbo into the tent.

Chang Ningbo did not stand on ceremony. Before Yin Huaixi could greet him, he had already sat down on a chair and nibbled on a fat peach.

He did not stop eating. “King You has been avenged. Master Yin is finally satisfied. ”

These words only stated a fact and had no other meaning.

When he first came to Shandong, he would still feel some pity and sympathy for Yin Huaixi because of this.

However, recently, he had watched helplessly as this young and weak youth in their eyes played Li Qiguang, who had dominated Shandong for many years.

The dignified and ambitious Li Qiguang had already been “killed” by Yin Huaixi before he even started fighting the Imperial Court’s army head-on.

Yes, Li Qiguang had “died” from being tricked.

Li Qiguang had many troops under him. The clan raised private soldiers, and there were close to 140,000 people in total. However, before the two sides could fight head-on, Yin Huaixi had already “killed” Li Qiguang.

No one would be willing to accept this.

On the day they captured Li Qiguang alive, he was escorted into the camp.

At that time, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in blood and dirt. When he saw Yin Huaixi, he was like a vicious dog that had seen a piece of flesh and bone. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared fiercely at Yin Huaixi. His face was ferocious, and his throat made a series of sounds. He was completely like a mad dog.

He wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

“Yin Huaixi, you despicable and shameless person.. How can you use some sinister tricks to scheme against others? If you have the guts, let’s fight…”
