Chapter 55 The tree is big and attracts the wind

"Jiang Yuandong?" Ming Jin, who was drinking water, was surprised, then laughed, "I just happened to offend some people some time ago, and now I can ease the relationship."
"Let's interrogate him first. If you can't get the answer, contact Zhuang Wuxue."
——————
They were originally on their way back to the capital, but the land route they took was faster than Ming Jin and others because they were fast horses. When Zhuang Wuxue led his people to Liuzhou to take over Jiang Yuandong, the Xie family's ship had already left.
Seeing Jiang Yuandong, Zhuang Wuxue looked sharply and asked Bi Shiyi, who stayed in Liuzhou to take charge of the guard handover, "Why is the leg broken?"
"The girl said that if you break your leg, it will be difficult to run away, which will save our guards a lot of trouble."
Everyone in the Overwatch Council was shocked.
Miss Xie Er is really a considerate and kind-hearted person?
Zhuang Wuxue laughed strangely, "Your girl is actually quite suitable to be on duty in our Oversight Council."
Bi Shiyi smiled: "If my girl is from a daughter's family and can have an official career, she will look down on your Supervisory Yuan. Wouldn't it be better to take the scientific examination and become an official and go to the cabinet department?"
After saying that, he turned around and took the people away, taking out the candy in his pocket to eat.
People from the Oversight Yuan: "...."
What a loud tone! Bah!
————————
"Sure enough, someone sent a message to Jiang Yuandong and asked them to focus on me. This group of people is so powerful. They can play with everyone."
While admiring, Ming Jin was still not sure whether the person behind this was Guanglinggu, or whether Guanglinggu was actually the one being used behind the scenes. She was waiting for news.
Soon, after the handover, Bi Shiyi quickly caught up with the speed of the boat. After boarding the boat, he informed Zhuang Wuxue and others about the incident.
Ming Jin counted the time and raised his eyebrows, "In such a hurry to make a breakthrough in the investigation, it seems that they have not been able to grasp the real details of the person behind the scenes."
The name of the Overwatch Council is there, it is prominent at its peak, and it is teetering on the edge of its prominence. It is extremely unwilling to fail in such a well-known imperial mission, so it is anxious.
After thinking silently for a moment, Ming Jin suddenly asked Bi San, "Are you the one responsible for investigating the last incident of Snake Hand Qing?"
Bi San nodded.
"Didn't you get to the root?"
"The subordinates are incompetent."
Ming Jin frowned, "No, that can only mean that the other party is too powerful. They are so powerful and they are so good at killing people with borrowed knives. It can't be such a coincidence. Last time, they said they were traces of a cult? Are you sure?"
"Can."
"Then temporarily focus the investigation on Guanglinggu. There is no need to cover up, but a big move."
Because the only thing closest to her at the moment is this cult.
Bi San narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed, and he and Bi Shiyi said in unison: "Girl is amazing!"
Peony on the side: "???"
What does it mean?
I know the girl is amazing, but I can’t figure out why.

The Xie family is a giant, and there are too many people staring at it. If the Xie family's secret guards can't investigate, they can use other forces to investigate together.
Just take advantage of the situation.
It is too difficult to just chase the mysterious real murderer who is hiding behind the scenes. It is better to first confirm whether Guanglinggu is behind everything and then get to the bottom of it.
This is Ming Jin's opinion, and obviously the secret guards will listen to it, because it does not violate their purpose.
But the most important thing for Mingjin now is another thing - the capital is coming soon.
————————
Compared with the prosperity of Liuzhou Pier, Capital Pier is even more indescribable. It is vast and open, with waves hitting the stone shore smoothly. There are rows of boats on the river, with countless traffic, and the deployment into the alleys is orderly and without any disorder. It is obvious that the Water Division is in power and has strong authority.
order.
After all, it is the capital of a country and a place of confidential power.
Xie Mingyue looked at the deck railing, very surprised, but she didn't know that on other ships, the rest of the Xie family became colder and calmer as they approached the capital. Only the younger ones seemed more excited because they had never been there before - but at Xie Mingyue's age Most of the people were holding on, so Xie Mingyue was sincere and did not hide her surprise.
But he didn't expect that Ming Jin, the most experienced person in the world, would personally explain to Xie Mingyue the many scenic spots that he could see from the pier, including the Qilong Pagoda in the east and the Huajuan Temple in the south...
His voice was gentle, his smile was gurgling, and the mention of these ancient buildings led to passages of historical biographies and anecdotes. Xie Mingyue was fascinated by it and couldn't help but praise: "The capital is really a good place."
Ming Jin smiled: "Places are always good, the bad ones are the people, but not all people are bad."
Xie Mingyue had a heart attack and couldn't help but mutter: "Just look at the scenery, what else will you do if you don't talk to people?"
How could she understand it so deeply?
"Of course it's to show that I'm smarter than you." Ming Jin glanced at her flirtatiously, with a simple but touching teasing smile between his brows and eyes.
"Humph!" Xie Mingyue stamped her feet angrily.
On the other side, Xingzhou had already seen the flags of the Xie family and the Twelve Jians at the Shui Si Yamen, and quickly moved the order of the queues, and was the first to move into the dock.
When the ship docked, the Xie family's hundreds of servants began to pack their luggage in an orderly manner.
"It is true that this is a great family that has been established for nearly two hundred years. It rose to prominence during the Emperor Gaozu's period. Even though it has experienced ups and downs, the inheritance has not been broken. This kind of heritage is not trivial."
Qianji, who was standing at the bow of the ship, heard the subordinate behind him say this in a high-pitched voice, and he smiled.
"Since the time of Emperor Gaozu, the three of them have accompanied each other to conquer the world, compete in the Central Plains, and finally determine the world. Emperor Gaozu remembered the merits of the three people, and specifically supported the glory of Zixun when he founded the country. They will be replaced by others. Under the imperial power, the Xie Rongzhou clan Although they have been standing together for more than a hundred years, the three Zixun clans have experienced different ups and downs. The Zhou family has been destroyed, and the Rong family has been in decline. After weakening, it can only maintain an empty frame. Only the Xie family, no matter how ups and downs they have, will eventually return to its peak."
Qian Ji seemed to be praising the Xie family, but then said sarcastically, "But they all have a fatal weakness."
"What is it?"
"A big tree attracts the wind, and a carrot makes a hole."

The servants on the boat had done all the errands, but the Xie Mansion in the capital had also done their errands well.
Lines of carriages and guards were already waiting, and there were many maids and maids waiting. The leader was a tall, handsome, and handsome young man, and there were two older middle-aged men in Confucian robes.
"coming."
The second master of the Xie family, Xie Jun, had his hands behind his back. He was already happy when he saw the huge fleet, but he was a steady man and held it in check. Only when all the Xie family members really came out of the cabin did he smile, especially the young man. Regardless of etiquette, he quickly walked to the ladder of the second boat and shouted loudly: "Adai!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Xie Mingdai's pretty face, and she stepped down the ship's steps quickly, "Brother!"
This young man is naturally Xie Zhixiu, a well-educated and talented man. Now he has achieved fame and is about to become an official.
"The child has seen his mother."
Mrs. Lin was behind. Mother and son were extremely excited to see each other again after so many years. However, Mrs. Lin did not forget the rules. She pulled Xie Zhixiu and asked him to go over and say hello to the other side of the main room first.
Especially Xie Mingjin.
"My child knows." Hearing Ming Jin, the smile on Xie Zhixiu's face faded a little, but it was not particularly obvious, but Xie Mingdai noticed it. Just as she was about to ask something, she suddenly heard the noise. She looked up and saw that she was outside the pier.
The carriage in Yunji was in chaos. The horses were frightened and angry, and the people were naturally frightened. There were screams. Then, they saw a group of people coming on horseback. They were impressive and tyrannical.
