69. Chapter 69
Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, she just told her what she had done these days to be cautious.
As for what she did, because neither Tu Huaishen nor Lin Ruhai had ever concealed her, she knew very well who was on the list of important suspects, and the people planted in Yangzhou had already investigated some clues, so combined with these clues, Lin Daiyu went to the night to eavesdrop and crack the secret channel mechanism by the way, and unexpectedly gained a lot. Even during a night investigation, I happened to meet several people from the other side gathered together to conspire about how to deal with vain.
Lin Daiyu: It's not for nothing that I've been exploring in the palace for so long.
In vain:
In vain he made all kinds of arrangements, trying to divide and provoke investigations, trying to find evidence step by step, weaving a big net, peeling off the cocoons and then catching them all, although he did find a lot of evidence and clues, however
From the very beginning, Tu Huaishen met Jiang Xia who came directly to vote, and then Li Huaiyi heroically saved the United States, got the evidence of Andrean and others, and then Lin Daiyu gave him a big gift.
Vain Huaishen: Although it's as inexplicable and smooth as opening a hanging, I always feel that I'm so useless
Tu Huaishen and Lin Daiyu looked at each other for a while, and suddenly there was a stirring, although the reality changed too quickly, and they were a little caught off guard. However, now that it has come to this point, vain look at the sky cautiously, and then look at the Chen guards who were being chased and killed in Yangzhou, and think of the conspiracy against herself that Daiyu happened to hear, and the many evidences found, since this is the case, then
"Strike first, do it!"
King Anjun suddenly shouted enthusiastically, and the guards in the courtyard were a little inexplicable, but then, they immediately saw the courage of King Anjun, who had always been gentle, when he became decisive.
Although he brought nearly 100 guards and secretly had many people to protect him, if he wanted to be foolproof, he still lacked manpower, and the Yangzhou prefect was not involved in the salt tax case, so he was afraid that the arrest would be obstructed and the news would be leaked, so it was not good to seconded the officials to the local yamen. Fortunately, the Emperor Taishang had already prepared, and gave him a token and a secret decree when he left Beijing in vain, and in case of emergency, he could make Huainan Jiedu envoy transfer troops.
In the matter of the salt tax, although the Huainan Jiedu envoy has the responsibility of supervising the unfavorable, but in the end it is the military and political chief, and he is really not involved under normal circumstances, and the most important thing is that this Jiedu envoy is the person who was promoted by the emperor. At the same time, he is also the person who the Emperor Taishang instructed to be sure to keep.
It's a pity that Tu Huaishen looked at the account book in his hand, and the account book was turned to the middle pages, and on it was the name of the Huainan Jiedu envoy. Fortunately, although there is involvement, the involvement is not too deep. After all, if you really want to dig deeper, almost half of the nearby officials are more or less involved. This Jiangnan has been rotten from the roots. Just like this country, it looks like it is still prosperous, but it is already full of hidden dangers.
He sighed cautiously and tore off the page where the name of the knotty envoy was written. After all, the transfer of troops is a big deal, and it may be difficult to send others to make it difficult for Jiedu to send troops, so he decided to go in person, and left Fulu and Niu Heng behind to assist Lin Ruhai in presiding over the overall situation in case of contingencies.
Although he was reluctant to take Lin Daiyu to take the risk, but, for reasons that everyone knows, if he insists on what the little master insists on, the last concession is generally in vain, not to mention, in terms of force value, it can't be stopped at all == Of course, Father-in-law Fulu is very willing to bring this powerful bodyguard with His Royal Highness.
As for the final result, late that night, a large group of officers and soldiers quietly entered Yangzhou City, and the whole city of Yangzhou City was under martial law, and many salt merchant officials' mansions were surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one in the palace was allowed to enter or leave. According to the clues found by the spies these days, especially the exact place provided by Daiyu, and the way to crack the secret passage of the organ, the officers and soldiers almost drove straight into it, and found the evidence or the location of the stolen goods very smoothly.
Tu Huaishen also personally led people there, and the first stop was to the mansion of the Yangzhou prefect.
At that time, it was already dark and most of the people in the house had fallen asleep. The prefect of Yangzhou can't sleep most of these days, and it is difficult to relax in Gentle Township tonight, and finally stared at him in a daze for a while, and then he heard a noisy sound, which woke him up completely.
The sound of crying and scolding was endless, and then looking at the faint fire outside the house, the prefect of Yangzhou immediately sobered up, and he knew that things might not be good. I didn't care about the call of my beloved concubine, I rolled down from my concubine's belly, I didn't have time to finish dressing, I put on a dress at will, and hurriedly opened the door.
"My lord, where are you going?" Vain asked with a cautious smile.
Seeing King Anjun's posture, the prefect of Yangzhou looked at his smiling face again, and felt how insidious it was, but he had been immersed in officialdom for many years, settled his mind, and smiled reluctantly, but he couldn't put on the flattering expression that often appeared on his face in the past few days, so he simply lowered his face, "King Anjun trespassed into the mansion of the imperial court late at night, it doesn't seem to be very good." ”
Tu Huaishen didn't care about his cold face at all, "It seems that it is even worse for the adults to collude with the salt merchants and unite with the salt officials to embezzle the salt tax," learning from the prefect once arched his hand towards the capital, and said with a smile, "This king is entrusted by the emperor and the emperor to be the emperor, so he naturally has to do his errand with his heart, ask for the people's life, and investigate those court moths." ”
The prefect of Yangzhou also knew at this time that he must not back down, and sneered, "This official is a prefect, although he has some friendship with Andland, but in the end he is not in charge of salt affairs, at most it is just a responsibility of supervision and dereliction of duty, where it has reached the point of colluding with salt merchants to embezzle salt taxes, not to mention that this official is conscientious and conscientious to serve the imperial court, and he is worthy of the sky and the ground, and the king of the county is responsible for speaking. ”
But he didn't care about his threat, glanced at Daiyu, saw her nodding, waved his hand, and took the lead towards the garden.
Seeing him walking towards the garden instead of the study, the prefect of Yangzhou suddenly changed color, and when he saw him walking around the garden a few times, as if he had inadvertently touched the mechanism, he could no longer support it, as if he had been drained of strength, and suddenly sat down on the ground
Caught off guard, or rather, I never thought that Vain Huaishen acted so quickly, logically speaking, Qin Cha handled the case, especially such a big case, at least a few months, more than a year, but in vain Huaishen arrived in Yangzhou for only half a month, and he actually started directly. As long as they grit their teeth, I am afraid that without key evidence, they will put pressure on them and eventually let them go back.
Unexpectedly, the interrogators were prepared, and the same key evidence was thrown out, and even some hiding places outside their mansion were found just in case, especially several people were persuaded or took the initiative to take refuge, such as Jiang Xia, things gradually got out of control, and the situation became more and more favorable to King Anjun.
People in the Yangzhou prison came and went, and people were constantly being interrogated, even at night.
After that, it had little to do with Lin Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai was also busy with official business, so in the following time, Lin Daiyu was completely idle, and most of the time she was with the turtle master, but she became more and more familiar.
This day is a rare thing to come to an end, and Tu Huaishen also returned to the Imperial History Mansion to take a breath, these days have been spinning continuously, and he has to guard against counterattacks, which has also exhausted him. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was idle, she came up with a smile. The two chatted for a while, and when they saw that she seemed to have some doubts on her face, they couldn't help but ask in vain.
Lin Daiyu: I'm just curious, why do so many people like to leave evidence of their crimes, waiting to be found out against themselves later?
In vain:
"I never kept it, and when I was a child, if I got into trouble, I would definitely destroy all the evidence." Otherwise, it is very likely to usher in Jia Minai's snapping, Lin Daiyu finished talking about her mischievous experience, and asked Vain Huaishen, "Do you also like to hide the evidence of doing bad things?" ”
Tu Huaishen said that he didn't carry this pot, and hurriedly shook his head and denied it, "I haven't done anything bad." ”
Lin Daiyu squinted and never did anything bad
He turned his head cautiously and changed the topic with a weak heart, "They don't want to leave evidence of their own crimes, but they want to leave the evidence of the people who colluded with them, in case something happens in the future, they become the one who is sacrificed, probably from the bottom of their hearts, these people will be difficult to trust each other." ”
In fact, if it weren't for the first action in vain, there would have been an assassination of him in the near future, of course, although he was not the salt merchant's mastermind, in terms of arrangement, it was still the salt merchant who was behind the blame, but now, it was all disrupted by vain Huaishen's sudden attack.
And in this interrogation, after interrogating the Sun family, Lin Ruhai finally confirmed the mastermind of Jia Min's poisoning case, and it was really Gongshun Wang's instigation, but fortunately, the evidence of this embezzlement of taxes and silver is conclusive, and the amount is quite large.
Daiyu is very dissatisfied with this, but who made him a royal bloodline? Although the common people and the prince are guilty of the same crime, it is not easy to achieve in reality, even if the emperor wants him to die, but the emperor is still there, although the emperor will punish the obedient king, but he will never take the life of his other son.
In addition, although the salt tax case has made great progress, Lin Daiyu still has some shadows in her heart, and Lin Ruhai's assassination is still inconclusive.
