Power ministers always make things difficult for me

In Chunjiang Tower, Pei Qi was sitting by the window on the top floor, with a table full of delicious food in front of her for her to enjoy alone.

Unfortunately, she had no desire to use her chopsticks.

Outside the window, Duan Qianjun's carriage heading to Jinjiang passed by Chunjiang Tower, followed by more or less Jinyi guards, who should be the people sent by the emperor to monitor Duan Qianjun.

The Jinjiang River is far away and the construction of the dam is very difficult. Duan Qianjun will not be able to return to the imperial capital within a month.

I don’t know what’s going on over there in Jinjiang.

While thinking, Pei Qi's expression froze.

Duan Qianjun didn't know when he opened the curtains of the carriage, and his lazy eyes inadvertently met Pei Qi's eyes.

Pei Qi looked back calmly, raised his hand leaning against the window, and waved it gently.

I wish he would leave quickly.

Duan Qianjun chuckled, lowered the car curtain, and took a comfortable sip of the tea in front of him.

I hope that when he comes back from Jinjiang, Pei Qi will be like today.

"Lord."

Not long after Duan Qianjun left, Pei Qi, who was lost in thought, was brought back to his emotions by Huang Liao who had just entered.

She moved her head back from the window and glanced at Huang Liao: "Have you found out?"

Huang Liao nodded and handed the roster to Pei Qi: "This is the latest personnel list of the Zhenfu Division."

"Since the death of the late emperor, most of the Jin Yiwei have been killed or injured at the hands of Rong Qin. My subordinates have counted these people and crossed them out. The list in your hands now is of the existing Jin Yiwei."

Pei Qi responded lightly, opened the roster thoughtfully, and read it carefully.

She had been with the late emperor for a long time. Although she had no direct contact with Jin Yiwei, she knew everyone among them more or less.

Not long after, Pei Qi frowned unconsciously as he stared at the roster.

"When did Jin Yiwei get new members?"

Why is it that there are so many things on this list that she has never heard of?

She had never heard of the newly appointed commander.

Chengying...?

It sounds familiar.

Pei Qi's question was also something that Huang Liao couldn't figure out during the investigation: "My subordinates have not found out that these people have joined the Jinyi Guards. It's like they appeared in the Jinyi Guards out of thin air."

Appearing out of thin air...

Is it possible that Sanqian Zhenyu really got an opportunity?

It's just that we can't draw a conclusion at this time, everything will have to wait until Tu You brings back the roster of three thousand poisonous feathers from Xudu.

I thought that after being demoted to Xudu, the Shen family would live an honest life in Xudu. Unexpectedly, they still refused to stop and thought about causing trouble.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Sir, Mr. Rong has arrived."

Pei Qi didn't even raise his head and opened his mouth: "Come in."

The next second, the door of the private room was opened, Rong Qin walked in, and sat down opposite Pei Qi unceremoniously.

He glanced at the wide open window and said with amusement at the corner of his mouth: "The Imperial Master is having a private meeting with me like this, and I am not afraid of others seeing it."

Pei Qi's face darkened, he quickly closed the window, and threw the roster to Rong Qin angrily.

He scolded: "Not serious."

Rong Qin didn't care. He opened the roster with two fingers and read page by page.

He asked casually: "The investigation was so fast? Did Jiang Mingcang really not stop him?"

According to these people on the roster, it is simply a fool's errand to try to find out the Zhenfu Division in just a few days based on Huang Liao.

Unless, Jiang Mingcang agrees.

It shouldn't be... Could it be that he was wrong in his suspicion and really wronged Jiang Mingcang?

"I didn't tell him." Pei Qi lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience: "There are far fewer people left in the Zhenfu Division than there are on the roster."

That's why Huang Liao was able to find out this matter so easily.

Rong Qin touched his chin, spread the book on the table, and fixed his eyes on the corner of the roster, thoughtfully.     "Chengying."

He whispered the word Chengying in a low voice and suddenly smiled: "Does it sound familiar to you?"

"The fugitive who was heavily rewarded by many people disappeared ten years ago."

This man is a martial arts fanatic who has been looking for an opponent all his life.

In order to find Baili Qingming, he once bloodbathed Yuncheng alone, and finally forced Baili Qingming to show up to fight. After being defeated by Baili Qingming, he was seriously injured and fled to Xudu, where he was later captured and brought to justice by the Xudu government.

But on the day of the beheading, this man disappeared without anyone noticing in prison.

Later, Xu Du's government was bleeding like a river overnight, and no one was spared. Shen officially took over Xu Du on the grounds of investigating the case.

It is a pity that the closing memorial handed over to the late emperor was just an unwritten and absurd result.

Pei Qi had only felt familiar before, but when Rong Qin said this, her memory instantly came back.

She could guess Cheng Ying's whereabouts without Rong Qinming telling her.

It's nothing more than joining three thousand people to work for the Shen family.

The former heavy offender of the imperial court now appears openly on the list of Jin Yiwei.

Ah……

But, who is secretly controlling it?

"Jinyiwei has always been appointed by the emperor. If this list was not done by the late emperor, it would be inseparable from Jiang Mingcang." Rong Qin closed the list, put away his lazy and mischievous attitude, and spoke extremely seriously.

Therefore, the reason why Cheng Ying was able to join the Jinyi Guards may not be because of Jiang Mingcang's handiwork.

"impossible!"

As soon as Rong Qin's thoughts were spoken, he was denied by Pei Qi without hesitation in the next second: "Your Majesty has only just ascended the throne. If a large-scale transfer of people to the Jinyi Guards is carried out, there will definitely be no news."

"Then you mean to doubt the late emperor?" Rong Qin asked with raised eyebrows.

"no……"

Naturally, it cannot be the late emperor.

That is...

"It must have been during the period when the throne was empty that someone had done something to the Jinyi Guards!" Pei Qi thought about countless possibilities in his mind, and finally denied them one by one and expressed his final thoughts.

"What the Imperial Master said makes sense." Rong Qin raised his eyes calmly, neither denying nor confirming: "That might not be Jiang Mingcang."

"Nonsense!" Pei Qi couldn't help but slapped the table and stood up, questioning: "Your Majesty was trapped in prison by you during that time, and it was impossible for him to do these things!"

"Unless Mr. Rong thinks that his subordinates are incompetent, he can't even look down on one person!"

In her eyes, Jiang Mingcang has always been a gentle, pure and kind person who does not allow others to interfere with him.

Not to mention Rong Qin.

Even if Jiang Mingcang is really suspected, then others are also suspected. Maybe it was him, Rong Qin, who directed and acted in order to alienate her relationship with Jiang Mingcang, and then destroyed them one by one so that Jiang Fengchuan would do whatever he wanted!

There must be some clues that she hasn't noticed yet!

Rong Qin was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Pei Qi to have such a big reaction.

But if you think carefully about Jiang Mingcang's importance to Pei Qi, he would be jealous if he was suspicious in front of her.

It would be better to...

Let her find the answer on her own.

"The truth is just a guess, why are you anxious?" In order to ease Pei Qi's mood, Rong Qin had to compromise, but the next words seemed casual, but they had a meaning: "But..."

"If he had Cheng Ying to help him at that time, even if he was trapped in his true state, it would not be impossible to do something."

"If the Imperial Master doesn't believe it, why don't you go with me?"

"Where to go?" Pei Qi asked, clenching his fists.

"Prison."
