Chapter 1349 "Suicide out of fear of crime!"

Just as Hu Wenjie was lost in thought in his study, a maid came in and reported:

"My Lord, Hu Xinglong has something to ask you!"

The maid's words interrupted Hu Wenjie's thoughts. He thought for a moment and nodded slightly. A moment later, his nephew Hu Xinglong walked into the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Hu Xinglong couldn't wait to ask his uncle:
"Uncle, what does Governor Murong say?"

Facing his nephew's question, Hu Wenjie did not hide anything and said in a deep voice:

"Governor Murong's attitude was very firm at first, saying that the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules, but in the end his attitude became a little ambiguous, saying that as long as our Hu family has nothing to do with Hu Ming's corruption and abuse of power, he will not let this matter involve innocent people!"

After hearing this, Hu Xinglong said with some concern:
"Uncle, how could our Hu family have nothing to do with Hu Ming's affairs? Does Governor Murong not want to protect our Hu family?"

Hu Wenjie's eyes flashed with a gleam of light when he heard this, and he said coldly:

"Governor Murong naturally knows that our Hu family cannot escape the connection with Hu Ming, so he is hinting at us!"

"Hint? Uncle, what do you mean?"

Looking at his nephew who was still confused and didn't understand the deep meaning, a hint of disappointment flashed in Hu Wenjie's eyes.

Although Hu Xinglong is already a relatively outstanding younger generation in the family, he is now the third manager of Ruifengchang and can stand on his own in the business world.

But for ZZ, the sensitivity of human heart is really average····················

When it comes to sensitivity to people's hearts, Hu Ming is the most amazing in the entire Hu family. If Hu Ming were here, he would definitely understand what he meant at this moment. But unfortunately, fate played a trick on him. This smartest and most studious member of the Hu family is about to die!

Hu Wenjie couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Feeling his uncle's complicated look, Hu Xinglong was confused and a little worried. He knew that even though there were many opposing voices in the family before, his uncle wanted to protect the bastard Hu Ming.

If Hu Ming hadn't wanted to escape when he saw the situation was not good, causing public outrage in the family, I'm afraid my uncle would have really gone to Governor Murong to plead for him.

Although my uncle has now made it clear that he will give up Hu Ming at the request of most of the clan members, he may regret it and suggest to Governor Murong to save Hu Ming.

Realizing this, Hu Ming became a little nervous. He had really offended Hu Ming this time. If he really let Hu Ming make a comeback, then with Hu Ming's ruthless methods, he would not just ask him to kowtow and apologize, but would kill his entire family!

Thinking about the lovely twins that his concubine had just given birth to, a hint of murderous intent emerged in the depths of Hu Xinglong's eyes. No matter what his uncle and Governor Murong talked about, he would never let Hu Ming live this time.

At this time, Hu Wenjie, as the head of the family, did not know what his nephew's brother-in-law was thinking. After coming to his senses, he explained in a low voice:
"Governor Murong's intention is that we should clean up Hu Ming's ass properly and not leave any evidence behind so that he can come forward to protect our Hu family..."

Although Hu Xinglong was less sensitive to politics, as the third shopkeeper of Ruifengchang Trading Company, he was definitely not a stupid man. He immediately understood what it meant to wipe one's butt without leaving any handle, and the expression on his face instantly became interesting.

At this moment, Hu Wenjie looked at Hu Ming and asked:
"How are you doing with the tasks assigned to you?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming quickly said:

"Uncle, I came to you because of this. Although Hu Ming is a despicable and shameless guy, he is still very tough. I interrogated him for three days, but he refused to say anything. During that time, he even bit his tongue to commit suicide. Fortunately, we discovered it early and didn't let him succeed!"

Hearing this, Hu Wenjie's expression became serious, and he looked at his nephew with a gloomy gaze. Seeing this, Hu Xinglong knew that he had messed up the task assigned by his uncle, so he lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at his uncle.

A few days ago, under pressure from many tribesmen, Hu Wenjie had to choose to give up Hu Ming. But after that, Hu Wenjie still faced a choice, which was whether to hand over Hu Ming!
This choice, like whether to protect Hu Ming or not, is a choice that affects the rise and fall of the Hu family. If the right choice is made, the Hu family can survive this turmoil safely, but if the wrong choice is made, the Hu family will suffer a devastating disaster. Therefore, when making a choice that concerns the lives of the entire family, Hu Wenjie is also very cautious and dares not be careless...
Although everyone knew that the deeper reason why Hu Ming was investigated was because he offended the powerful Minister Cui!
But on the surface, the reason why Hu Ming was investigated was because of the crimes of corruption and abuse of power that he committed that were heinous to both humans and gods!
Is the crime committed by Hu Ming related to the Hu family?

The answer is undoubtedly yes!

Currently, the Ministry of Justice has accused Hu Ming of more than a dozen crimes, such as murder, committing H, being H, etc., but the core of these charges is actually only one, that is, collusion with GS and forming alliances for personal gain!

During the decades when Hu Ming had experienced ups and downs in officialdom, he received a lot of help from the Hu family. It can be said that without the Hu family's money, he would not be where he is today!

But on the other hand, Hu Ming has also been trying to gain benefits for the family in G Field and giving back to the family. Without Hu Ming's matchmaking, the Hu family's business would not have been as big as it is now!

It can be said that both parties are mutually beneficial and highly bound together, so if the Ministry of Justice continues to investigate Hu Ming's affairs, the Hu family will definitely be involved. This is also what Hu Wenjie is worried about!
The reason why Hu Wenjie didn't give up Hu Ming immediately and decisively, but hesitated whether to protect Hu Ming, was not only because he coveted Hu Ming's two trump cards, but also because of this consideration. After all, if he really gave up Hu Ming and allowed the Ministry of Justice to investigate Hu Ming, then this matter would most likely involve the Hu family...

After being forced to give up Hu Ming due to pressure from within the family, Hu Wenjie initially wanted Hu Ming to take responsibility for everything and remove the family from it. For this reason, Hu Wenjie met with Hu Ming after he was captured.

During the meeting, Hu Wenjie also played the emotional card, hoping that Hu Ming would take on all the family affairs out of gratitude for the family's upbringing and cultivation, so that the family could survive and successfully overcome this difficult time!

In addition, Hu Wenjie also values ​​the two trump cards in Hu Ming's hand, and he hopes that Hu Ming will leave these two trump cards to the family. But unfortunately, at this time, Hu Ming already thinks that he has been betrayed by the family, so how could he be willing to sacrifice himself to help the person who betrayed him?
So when faced with Hu Wenjie's request, Hu Ming not only refused but also said bitterly that it would not be easy for the Hu family to cut ties with him.

When he is caught and brought back to Yijing, he will drag everyone down with him and make everyone in the Hu family buried with him. Those who betrayed him, Hu Ming, must pay the price one by one!
As for the 300,000 taels of silver and other valuables that Hu Ming had saved, as well as his connections in Yijing, he would never leave them to the Hu family even if he took them to the underworld.

Seeing that Hu Ming had turned into a mad dog, Hu Wenjie couldn't help but feel a headache. He knew that he couldn't hand Hu Ming over alive.

The Hu family was already involved, and if Hu Ming continued to talk nonsense, the Hu family might really be finished...

Therefore, the current plan is to make Hu Ming "commit suicide out of fear of crime" before the arrest warrant from the Ministry of Justice arrives!

Then I thought of other ways to try my best to get the Hu family out of this matter so that they can get through this difficult time!

Knowing that the arrest warrant from the Ministry of Justice was most likely on the way, Hu Wenjie took action immediately after sorting out his thoughts. He knew that Hu Xinglong and Hu Ming had a grudge, so he handed Hu Ming over to Hu Xinglong!
No matter what Hu Xinglong did, Hu Wenjie only gave Hu Xinglong one task, which was to make Hu Ming tell the whereabouts of the 300,000 taels of silver and other valuables he had accumulated, as well as his little notebook that recorded the handles and habits of Yi Jing's G members!

This is Hu Ming's last remaining value, and it is also what Hu Wenjie values. With these two things, Hu Ming can "commit suicide out of fear of crime!"

However, Hu Ming's "suicide out of fear of crime" was not the end, but a beginning. Hu Wenjie needed to ask for help from people everywhere to get the Hu family out of it.

When you ask for help through connections to find someone, you naturally cannot show up empty-handed, and in a big case like this one, no one would be willing to help without a huge gift!

Although the Hu family is large and has many properties, they have many uses for silver. In addition, transactions with Western merchants also occupy a lot of the family's working capital. Therefore, under such circumstances, the 300,000 taels of silver in Hu Ming's hand become very indispensable.

At the same time, after losing Hu Ming, a high-ranking official in the Yijing court, and affected by subsequent events, the Hu family’s connections on the G-side must have suffered a serious blow...
Under the G-oriented system of Daqian, if you want to do business well, you must have good dealings with various G-side figures. Therefore, it can be predicted that even if the Hu family can get away with it in this incident with Hu Ming, the subsequent family business will definitely be affected to a considerable extent by this.

Therefore, the small notebook left by Hu Ming is very indispensable. If managed properly, it can completely mitigate the impact of the incident on the Hu family.

Therefore, Hu Wenjie can be said to be determined to win the two trump cards in Hu Ming's hand!

The head of the Hu family was very sure that Hu Xinglong, who hated Hu Ming to the core, would definitely use the most cruel method he could think of to get the things! !
But what he didn't expect was that Hu Xinglong would disappoint him again!

Hu Wenjie looked at Hu Xinglong, who lowered his head and felt ashamed of himself, and said coldly, word by word:

"If you can't pry Hu Ming's mouth open, you should quit your job as the Third Shopkeeper!"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Xinglong immediately said:

"Uncle, I was afraid of killing him! Otherwise I would definitely be able to get it!"

"I don't want to hear your explanation. The criminals from the Ministry of Justice may have already arrived in Jingchu. We don't have much time left. If this matter is not handled well, you should know the consequences even if I don't tell you!"

"In order to solve this matter, I, your uncle, have risked my reputation. If you are so useless, how can I trust you to hand over the Hu family to you!"

At the end, Hu Wenjie, whether intentionally or unintentionally, deliberately emphasized his tone. After his heart-wrenching words, Hu Xinglong gritted his teeth and said:
"Uncle, give me two more days! I will definitely pry open this bastard's mouth..."

June 1st, Daqian Palace
Looking at the scorching sun outside, An Miaoyi gave up the idea of ​​going out and picked up a novel to kill time.

Although both the original Ye Mansion and the current Daqian Palace occupy a large area, it is not big for noble ladies like An Miaoyi who have lived in the deep palace for a long time. The deep palace can be said to be their cage, and they will be imprisoned in it for the rest of their lives.

Although the gardens and pavilions inside the palace are very exquisite and elegant, one will get bored of it if one looks at them for too long. So when An Miaoyi saw Pei Zhixiu being able to come and go freely in the palace every day with Ye Mingsheng's permission, she didn't say it, but she was still very envious in her heart.

I even feel it's unfair. We are all our husband's women. Why can you be free while we have to stay in this cage and be canaries?

Although An Miaoyi felt so, due to Ye Mingsheng's favor for Pei Zhixiu, she could only keep these thoughts to herself.

Originally, she thought that after Ye Mingsheng became emperor, the Ye Mansion would become the imperial palace. Then, under the palace laws, Pei Zhixiu would no longer be a free bird, but would have to be a canary in a cage like them now.

An Miaoyi was looking forward to that day, and in fact she did wait for that day, but before she could appreciate Pei Zhixiu's bored and lonely appearance in the deep palace like them.

Ye Mingsheng's order made Pei Zhixiu a guest official at the medical school. Although compared with his previous freedom to enter and leave Ye Mansion, Pei Zhixiu was subject to many restrictions when serving as a guest official at the medical school and no longer had the freedom he had before!
But compared to those resentful women in the deep palace, she is undoubtedly much happier!

Seeing how Ye Mingsheng dotes on Pei Zhixiu, An Miaoyi is envious and jealous but has no place to vent her feelings and can only digest it in her heart.

At this moment, Qiqige walked up to her and whispered:
“Your Majesty, something happened in the Murong family…”
