Chapter 386

After doing such a thing, Zhang Tongzhi's appetite probably became bigger and bigger, and seeing that the matter had not been revealed for so long, he actually began to accept people's money and sell it as an official.

For example, this time, Zhang Tongzhi accepted the heirloom in a person's house and promised a hundred households on an errand.

Although Baihu is not a great errand, it is also a court official of the sixth grade, and it can be regarded as a glorious lintel for many people who want to donate money to an official.

If it weren't for that, that person wouldn't have given all the family heirlooms to Zhang Tongzhi.

Unfortunately, on the second day when the man sent the heirloom to Zhang Tongzhi, the errand of the hundred households that was originally promised to him by Zhang Tongzhi was suddenly won by another person.

This person was not angry in his heart, Zhang Tongzhi took his own heirloom but played himself, and in a fit of anger, he stabbed the matter out regardless of it.

Speaking of which, there is also something about Shen Xi here.

This Zhang Tongzhi was always thinking about finding trouble with Shen Xi, but it was just because Shen Xi didn't let him find the pigtails, and now seeing that Zhang Tongzhi was unlucky, Shen Xi naturally stepped on it mercilessly.

Otherwise, with Zhang Tongzhi's influence in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, this matter may not be so big.

In short, the matter got big, and Zhang Tongzhi was also handed over to Chen Yi'an.

Chen Yi'an thought that this case was not difficult.

Although Zhang Tongzhi refused to admit his guilt and insisted that he was innocent and framed, as long as he found out the bribes he received, then he had no way to deny it.

Among them, the heirloom sent by someone has become the key point.

However, even though Chen Yi'an's men searched Zhang Tongzhi's house again and again, they didn't dig three feet into the ground, but they didn't find anything.

Not to mention that Zhang Tongzhi's family has any heirlooms, even if there are no slightly more valuable things, it can be regarded as extremely poor, just looking at the situation in Zhang Tongzhi's family, I am afraid that no one will believe him if he accepts bribes.

And the heirloom that the son of the rich man who poked out this matter said was a night pearl the size of half an egg, I heard that the ancestors of the family got it unintentionally, and it was passed down from generation to generation as an heirloom.

It is said that the pearl of that night can emit a white light at night, which is extremely rare.

Because of this characteristic of the Night Pearl, Chen Yi'an also deliberately asked people to search Zhang's house at night, but still found nothing.

The case was thus at a stalemate.

The focus of Zhang Tongzhi's case is still on the sale of officials, if he just collected some money and stuffed people into the army, this is really not a big deal, even if it can bring some impact to Zhang Tongzhi, it will never make him lose his official position or even his life because of this.

If it cannot be confirmed that Zhang Tongzhi betrayed the official, then Chen Yi'an is afraid that not only will he not be able to make any contributions, but he will also be labeled as "incompetent".

When the time comes......

It is conceivable what impact it will have on Chen Yi'an's future.

When Shen Xi said this, he frowned slightly, "The emperor has set a time limit for this case, requiring that the matter must be investigated clearly within half a month, and now it has been almost ten days......"

Chen Yi'an is now on Shen Xi's ship, and because of Jiang Jining's relationship, Shen Xi and Chen Yi'an can be regarded as brothers-in-law, not to mention that they already have an excellent relationship, even in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Yi'an is also a person from Shen Xi's side.

If Chen Yi'an not only failed to make meritorious contributions this time, but also left an impression of incompetence from Emperor Jingtai, Shen Xi would not be able to please him.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi couldn't help but shake his head, "That son of a rich family dares to expose Zhang Tongzhi like this, it can't be a lie, and Chen Mingyuan also led someone to carefully interrogate this person, and basically confirmed that he couldn't be deliberately framing Zhang Tongzhi, so ......"

Where did Zhang Tongzhi put the belongings he received, as well as the most important night pearl, by him?

The errand of the hundred households was determined on the second day after the son of the rich man gave him the pearl of the night, and the son of the rich family was furious and stabbed the matter out on the day he learned about it.

Because this errand of 100 households was decided because the Zuo Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army suddenly spoke, Zhang Tongzhi would not have had such an accident before this, and it was even more unlikely that he would hide the Night Pearl because he knew in advance that something would happen, and Zhang Tongzhi never left after returning to the house that night......

In such a situation, as long as there is really the existence of the night pearl, it is said that it will never be able to escape the eyes of Jinyiwei.

But on the contrary, Chen Yi'an has been looking for people for so long, but they have not found the shadow of the night pearl.

What's going on here?

Not to mention Chen Yi'an, even Shen Xi is puzzled.

After listening to Shen Xi's words, Xu Yujian's heart suddenly moved.

She remembered something that had been heard in her previous life.

In the previous life, probably around the same time as now, Xu Yujian happened to hear the little girl in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion talk about a strange thing that happened in the capital.

The road is a summer day in a summer rainstorm for two days in a row, a certain adult's house in the capital, a small servant in the toilet found a brick under the corner of the wall, next to the brick also fell a bead that looks very ordinary.

The little guy didn't care, picked up the bead, and in a responsible manner, rebuilt the loose brick.

When the little guy returned to the bed in the evening, he was surprised to find that the bead he had picked up during the day had emitted an extremely soft white light at night.

Pearl of the Night!

The little guy is also a descendant of the powerful family in the capital, and he immediately thought of these three words.

The night pearl is a legendary priceless thing, this little guy is not valued by the master of the house, and he only takes less than one or two silver per month, and now he sees such a treasure, where can he not be greedy?

Wrapped the night pearl with layers of black cloth, the little girl finally survived the night, and the next day he took leave to the master's house, and actually took the night pearl directly to the pawnshop.

The pawnshop doesn't care about the way it comes from, plus this little guy directly chose to die, the pawnshop can't ask for it, and where will it pursue anything else, it really gives a big price.

With such a large sum of money in his hand, it would be fine if this little guy was divided by An An, but there were some accidents later.
