From the conversation between Gao Heng and Cen Feng, Cheng Jinzhi's clearest thing in his heart is that only by finding out the whereabouts of the batch of official silver robbed by the prince back then can this old case that was unsolved and caused countless troubles be completely ended.

It is also good that Gao Heng and Yan Wangfu will not be harmed and will no longer be implicated in this matter from time to time.

At the beginning, I thought that I had found Gu Chen, an absolutely favorable witness, even if he couldn't find out the whereabouts of Guan Yin, the prince would not be able to escape.

But now I am shocked to learn that Gu Chen's knowledge is limited, and there is no empirical evidence in his hands, and everything seems to have returned to the original starting point, which is really disappointing.

It's as if you've finally found an oasis in the desert after all odds, only to find that it's just a mirage out of reach.

I can't describe how uncomfortable this feeling is.

If you really want to sum it up in one sentence, it is, "the heart is stuffed to death".

She also knows very well that although Emperor Zhou has not been held accountable for this case at the moment, if there is still no favorable evidence to prove Gao Heng's innocence in the future, when Wei Yan is arrested and framed by Gao Heng, everything will still develop in the direction expected by the prince.

It's just that now it's been a few years since the incident, and even the Soul Tu Si, who has always been good at investigating cases, can't do anything, what way can he break through the barriers of this time and pursue those secrets that have been buried and hidden and unknown?

And although Cen Feng revealed some relevant clues and weighed the pros and cons of this matter, in the final analysis, Gao Heng could not be allowed to retreat from this crisis.

First, as the prefect of the Soul Slaughter Division, of course, he must put the interests and reputation of the Soul Slaughter Division first, and must not lose the trust of Emperor Zhou for many years.

Second, even if he wanted to help Gao Heng, he was still loyal to Emperor Zhou, even though he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Gao Heng, but the prince was manipulating and planning behind his back, but he would not openly protect and protect the Yan Palace.

The only way to do this is now, since you can't rely on others, there is no other way out than to save yourself.

It's just that Gao Heng's mind has always been calm, even if his heart is as anxious as a spark, he will not show it on his face to make Cheng Jinzhi worried, which makes Cheng Jinzhi even more uneasy, and there is always a sense of confusion and confusion to move forward.

"Chief Cen Division, how many years ago did this official bank robbery happen?"

However, she also knew that her dreams were useless at the moment, and it would only increase her troubles, so it was better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and let her try every method.

So he put away his troubled thoughts, pinched his fingers and calculated, and stared at Cen Feng very seriously.

"Oh, counting this year, it should have been four years. ”

"Four years... Four years is actually not a long time..."Cheng Jinzhi muttered thoughtfully, "Did the prince do anything big about him four years ago? Or is there anything related to him that is more noticeable?"

"Why do you ask?"

Gao Heng seemed to understand Cheng Jinzhi's thoughts, his deep gaze fell on her, and a different kind of light flashed in his eyes.

"I'm thinking, since the prince robbed the official silver four years ago, it was probably because something must have happened at that time, so he had to take this risk, otherwise why didn't he choose to rob the official silver at this time?"

Gao Heng's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he and Cen Feng glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths were hooked with interest.

But on the surface, he still deliberately pretended not to understand, and retorted: "That's not necessarily, you must know that floods like those in Bizhou are not every year, and the royal brother and queen mother have always been extravagant in their dealings with people, and everything must be extremely luxurious." Perhaps he just felt that this opportunity was rare, and it was not impossible for him to use the silver to buy some household goods. ”

"Hey, did you mean to?

Cheng Jinzhi heard the ridicule between Gao Heng's words, and glared at him very dissatisfied, but because of Cen Feng's presence, he could only cover his face with his hands and approach him to lower his voice, and soon regained his peaceful appearance.

"Ahem, even I know that these are stolen silver, and they will never be seen in the light, if they are found on the market, wouldn't it be self-defeating? Otherwise, Cen Changsi is so powerful, how could he not find a clue until now?"

Since he dared to rob at the beginning, he naturally thought about what to do with these official silvers and what to do with them. Gao Heng put away his ridicule and said with a solemn expression, "Don't forget, Wei Yan is the head of the household department and controls the financial power of the whole country, just such a favorable condition is enough to open the door for this batch of stolen money, and it is not difficult to use this ill-gotten wealth quietly." ”

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi was puzzled by what Gao Heng said, Cen Feng explained very graciously: "What Your Highness means is that all the money from the household department is the treasury and the official silver. ”

Gao Heng also nodded in agreement when he heard this: "Yes, this may be very big. You must know that after this case, the former Hubu Shangshu was dismissed and questioned, and soon, Wei Yan, who was the Hubu Shilang at the time, took over the post of Shangshu as a matter of course, isn't the deep meaning of this obvious enough?"

"So that's what it means, the prince must be heartbroken when he loses such a big treasury this time, right?"

Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips gloatingly, quickly retracted his expression, straightened up and stared at the two in front of him.

But in the end, no matter how much this silver is packaged and whitewashed, his purpose in the end will not change with this stolen silver. You haven't answered me yet, four years ago, did anything related to the prince happen?"

"According to the princess, there is indeed one thing. Cen Feng thought for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Gao Heng, whose eyes were loose, "Your Highness must have thought of it too." ”

"Are you saying that the imperial brother went to the Southern Chu military camp stationed at Dufeng Pass to negotiate peace with his own strength, and as a result, he made Southern Chu stop fighting in just half a day, and withdrew his troops to return to the court?"

"That's right, Xia Guan remembered that His Majesty was still angry about the robbery of the official bank, and after hearing about it, he was very happy, and he also praised the prince heavily, and every minister in the court at that time should be deeply impressed by this. ”

"I really can't see it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful, even thousands of troops and horses can be easily persuaded, it seems that I am clumsy on weekdays. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said sarcastically in a strange tone, but he was suspicious of this in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

So in order to soothe his spirit, he casually made a joke.

"You said that this official silver robbery was in the front, and persuaded Nanchu to withdraw from the army, is it possible, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also exchanged these official silvers for gold and gave them to Nanchu as reconciliation fees?"

Cheng Jinzhi originally just said it casually, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Gao Heng and Cen Feng seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and both of them frowned grimly, staring at her faintly.
