Chapter 38 A Secret Letter from Shengjing City

After several inquiries by spies, the news that the emperor had received a secret letter from Jiangnan soon spread to Jiangnan.

The front yard of the Governor's Mansion was brightly lit with candles and filled with people.

The servant walked hurriedly towards the front yard.

As soon as he saw Guard Meng standing outside the courtyard gate, the servant handed over the envelope hidden in his arms and whispered, "This is a secret letter brought back from Shengjing City. Please give it to the master as soon as possible."

Guard Meng glanced down and said calmly, "Okay, you go back first."

The servant replied, "Thank you very much."

Guard Meng took the envelope from the servant, turned around and entered the courtyard, striding towards the study.

It is now midnight, but the master is still staying in the study to handle affairs and has not rested.

Guard Meng stepped forward and knocked on the study door: "Sir, there is a secret letter."

Before he finished speaking, Guard Meng heard a steady voice coming from the study: "Come in."

"Yes."

Guard Meng responded, pushed open the study door and walked in.

When he raised his eyes, Guard Meng saw the person sitting at the desk - it was the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Shi Weian.

Shi Weian's appearance is not outstanding, he looks very ordinary, but he is quite scheming and scheming, and knows how to use every opportunity to climb up.

Today, Shi Weian has become the governor-general of Jiangnan and secretly controls the officialdom of Jiangnan. It is not because of luck, but because of his means.

Guard Meng lowered his head and placed the secret letter on the table: "Sir, this is a secret letter."

"Okay, let's go out."

"Yes."

After Guard Meng left, Shi Weian picked up the secret letter on the table. When he opened it, he immediately frowned and looked unhappy.

——The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of the Jiangnan officialdom in an attempt to find evidence and catch them all in one fell swoop.

"A bunch of trash!"

Incompetent bungler!

Upon learning that it was a secret letter of injustice that "escaped" from Jiangnan that caused the emperor to become interested in Jiangnan, Shi Weian was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead and he was filled with rage.

Shi Wei'an stood up suddenly and slapped the table: "No matter how careful we are, the news has still been known to Shengjing City. I don't know who the emperor will send to investigate this matter..."

"Somebody come!"

A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Shi Weian.

Qian Ning bowed his head and said respectfully: "Subordinate Qian Ning greets you, sir."

Shi Wei'an said coldly, "Quickly bring Mr. Liu here to discuss important matters."

"If Mr. Liu refuses to come, then just tie him up and bring him here!"

Mr. Liu has always been very arrogant. Although he has some talent, he refuses to yield to Shi Weian. This means that every time Shi Weian wants to invite Mr. Liu, he has to use some tough measures against him.

"Yes, my lord."

Qian Ning responded, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

Shi Weian's face darkened. He crumpled the letter paper in his hand into a ball and squeezed it tightly.

This matter is of great importance, he must act with caution and must not let the people sent from Shengjing City find any evidence!

If those people don't know what's good for them, he can only drag them all to hell!

Suddenly, there was knock on the study door again.

Shi Wei'an's anger had not yet dissipated. Just as he was about to ask them to leave, he heard his wife Jiang's voice: "Husband, can I come in?"

Shi Wei'an looked down at the desk. The desk was not messy, and there were no important letters. He suppressed his anger, softened his expression, and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open.

Jiang Hui came over in a red dress, carrying a food box.

When her eyes fell on Shi Weian's face, her eyes softened and she said in a gentle voice, "Knowing that my husband was still in the study, I went to the small kitchen to stew some soup. At this hour, I guess my husband must be hungry too, right?"

Jiang Hui was the legitimate daughter of the Governor of Jiangning. When she was still in the Jiang family, she was extremely loved by her parents.

Now that she has been married to Shi Weian for many years and has only given birth to a daughter, Jiang Hui has never heard her husband complain, let alone mention taking a concubine.

She mentioned it once out of guilt, but her husband rejected her.

After that, Jiang Hui never mentioned the matter again and took care of her husband wholeheartedly. She also sent letters to the Jiang family several times, asking her father to hand over the Jiang family's connections to Shi Weian.

Because of her tactfulness, Shi Weian was willing to show her some affection.

Shi Wei'an immediately showed a smile on his face. He walked around the table and quickly came to his wife. He stretched out his hand and held her hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

Because of her husband's closeness, Jiang Hui's cheeks were flushed, and she looked very beautiful. "It's just a small thing, it can't be said to be hard work."

"My husband, on the other hand, has to be busy with Jiangnan affairs all day long, and he has lost a lot of weight due to exhaustion."

As she spoke, Jiang Hui pulled Shi Weian and asked him to sit down at the desk, then placed the food box in her hand on the table.

Jiang Hui opened the lid of the food box and took out the stew inside. She gently pushed it in front of her husband and smiled sweetly: "Husband, please try my cooking."

"If it tastes good, I'll bring it back next time."

Shi Wei'an smelled the aroma and said with a smile, "Madam's craftsmanship is of course the best, but..."

Shi Wei'an changed the subject and looked at her with a distressed look on his face: "Don't bring it here next time. I feel sorry for you and can't bear to make you tired."

Hearing this, Jiang Hui suddenly felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey in her heart. She endured the heat on her cheeks and responded softly, "Okay."

Shi Weian nodded in satisfaction at his wife's shy look.

As long as she was wholeheartedly thinking about him, he didn't mind saying nice things to her.

After seeing her husband drink the soup, Jiang Hui wanted to leave so as not to disturb her husband from handling things, "Husband..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Shi Weian interrupted her: "Why don't you go back to the Jiang family tomorrow?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Hui looked surprised and asked in astonishment: "Why would my husband want me to return to the Jiang family?"

"There is a difficult problem that I don't know how to solve, so I want to discuss it with my father-in-law."

The Jiang family has been rooted in Jiangnan for a long time, and his father-in-law has been the Governor of Jiangning in Jiangnan for ten consecutive years. He has a wide network of contacts, which is exactly what Shi Weian wants most.

This incident alarmed the emperor in Shengjing City. If he wanted to solve it smoothly, Shi Wei'an had to unite all the officials in Jiangnan and work together to face the outside world...

"It turned out to be for official business."

Jiang Hui didn't mind the Jiang family working for her husband, so she readily agreed: "Then we'll go back tomorrow."

"But my husband, should we send someone back to deliver a message first?"

"No need."

Shi Wei'an smiled and said, "It's late at night now. If we send someone over, I'm afraid it will disturb my parents."
