Chapter 408 The explanation begins

Jiang Xingzong did not speak, but nodded slightly, looking at Sheng Changquan quietly, waiting for the next step.

However, although Jiang Xingzong did not speak, Sheng Changquan understood what he meant——

That means no matter what, as long as his cousin can do it, he will definitely do it!

Sheng Changquan was also deeply moved by this.

One thing to say is that Aunt Wei's family really has nothing to say about their treatment of the Minglan siblings.

"Cousin, you must have heard about Yuge Lao becoming an official!"

They are all his own, and Sheng Changquan has no intention of going around in circles.

"Um."

Jiang Xingzong nodded and said, "I have indeed heard a little bit about this matter."

"It is said!"

"Elder Yu Ge has already begged for his body and returned home to the current saint. He said that he is old and feeble, and his energy is not as good as before. He is willing to abdicate and make way for others to spend his old age..."

Jiang Xingzong looked quite serious and asked quietly: "I just don't know, is it really true?"

Although Mr. Yu Ge is already over sixty years old and is indeed quite old, looking at the court, how many people are willing or willing to step down at the peak of their political careers?

Therefore, Jiang Xingzong was actually suspicious of such rumors.

"This is true!"

In response, Sheng Changquan nodded affirmatively: "Yu Ge will have to retreat if he doesn't retreat!"

Facing his cousin's curious look, Sheng Changquan explained: "Actually, in the past few years, Mr. Yu Ge's body has indeed become worse than before. In addition, some things happened in his house, so!"

After saying that, Sheng Changquan shook his head and said: "This old man really can no longer bear the torment of court affairs."

Speaking of this, Sheng Changquan suddenly remembered the last time he gave Yu Ge Lao an acupuncture, and couldn't help but shook his head secretly——

Having given birth to such an evil person as Yu Zhenghao, Mr. Yu Ge is really unlucky for eight lifetimes!

Sheng Changquan approached Jiang Xingzong's ear and whispered another reason.

"What's more, the matter of Mr. Yu Ge's abdication has already been cleared up before the saints."

"So, this matter must be finalized!"

Hearing such a big event, Jiang Xingzong's face couldn't help but become more serious, especially after hearing the word "saint", he became even more solemn.

There was even a hint of piety on his honest face.

After all, Sheng Changquan is an outsider, so even though he has lived in this world for more than ten years, it is still difficult for him to have the kind of awe that ordinary people have for the royal family from the bottom of his heart.

Regarding what Sheng Changquan said, Jiang Xingzong was a little sad: "I didn't expect that the rumors were true? Is Mr. Yu Ge really going to retire?"

Jiang Xingzong was slightly stunned: "Actually, I have seen Mr. Yu Ge from a distance once in the city."

"At that time, although the old man looked tired, he was still in good spirits. I really didn't expect that..."

"Haha, it's just unfortunate for our family!"

Seeing this, Xu Changqing on the side made a "gudong" sound, swallowed the scented tea in his mouth, and murmured quietly.

"Shut up!"

Sheng Changquan glared at Xu Changqing fiercely!

Because of his keen spiritual sense, he heard Xu Changqing's complaints immediately, but because Jiang Xingzong was nearby, Sheng Changquan could only give a solemn warning with his eyes.

Yu Zhenghao's matter is not a trivial matter. If you are not careful, it is very likely to ruin the lives of everyone in the Yu family. Therefore, Sheng Changquan will severely warn Xu Changqing to prevent him from talking nonsense.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing's voice was not loud, and Jiang Xingzong was recalling the original scene and did not react for a while, so this matter did not become publicized.

In fact, Xu Changqing is not a confused person. He just felt that Jiang Xingzong was not an outsider, so he had such a posture.

But after seeing Sheng Changquan's cold look, he immediately understood his mistake, immediately shrunk his neck, and silently pretended to be dead.

In response, Sheng Changquan still stared at him fiercely as if he were a dead person!

For a long time, until Jiang Xingzong came back to his senses, Sheng Changquan retracted his gaze, turned his head, and said, "Cousin, what I said is related to this matter."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Hearing what Sheng Changquan said, Jiang Xingzong immediately frowned and felt a little uneasy.

After all, the two of them are just ordinary people. Even if the Sheng family has some official power, how can they get involved in such important court affairs?

"Haha, cousin, don't worry."

Seeing Jiang Xingzong's worry, Sheng Changquan also smiled and comforted him: "This matter is not what you think."

"Actually, you also know that my good friend scrutinizes rituals."

"He is the young master of Master Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Jiang Xingzong's expression did not change. Obviously, he also knew about this matter.

It is precisely because Sheng Changquan's friends are all sons of these powerful eunuch families that Jiang Xingzong believes so much in the anecdotes told by his cousin, without any doubt.

In order to increase his own weight, Sheng Changquan continued: "Cousin, you also know that my old lady and Mrs. Yu have been friends for many years, so..."

Sheng Changquan did not finish his words, but Jiang Xingzong understood the meaning.

It seems that Shen Shouzheng, the Minister of Hubu, wants to join the cabinet.

Seeing that Jiang Xingzong understood, Sheng Changquan immediately changed his words and continued: "It is precisely because of this that my good friend wanted to ask me to do something and asked me to find someone."

Although he was working for Shen Shouzheng, Sheng Changquan only used the trial ceremony as the reason.

"Find someone?"

Jiang Xingzong looked puzzled.

"Cousin, I'm really not good at finding people!"

"Haha, cousin, don't worry!"

Sheng Changquan smiled, waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, I remember you once said that you have a classmate in Yuzhou, and their family is a local tea merchant in Yuzhou?"

"Yes, this is indeed the case!"

Facing his cousin, Jiang Xingzong told the background of his classmate without hesitation.

"My classmate is called Wan Xizong. Their family has been tea merchants for generations. They are indeed quite famous in Yuzhou."

"Well, that's right."

Hearing this, Sheng Changquan raised his eyebrows, and a trace of certainty flashed in his eyes.

"I have heard about this Wan family before. Their family is not a small family in Yuzhou, but a big tea business that has been in business for more than five generations."

"Moreover, through the efforts of our predecessors in this generation, many members of their clan have entered the court and joined the army. Their family is considered a local leader there."

"Not bad!" Jiang Xingzong nodded: "I once heard Brother Wan say that their family is indeed very powerful locally!"

"That's good!"

Sheng Changquan lowered his voice again and whispered: "Cousin, I just want you to tell Brother Wan and ask their family to find someone named Qiu Jie."

"Of course, his name may not be Qiu Jie now, but he may have changed his name."

A hint of darkness flashed across Sheng Changquan's expression.

"But don't worry, I already have this person's portrait. Please use this to find him for me..."
