Chapter 286: A Case
Yao Jinqian looked at Shen Zhong's embarrassed look, and didn't embarrass him anymore, but asked, "Is it related to Miss Shen?" ”
Shen nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it has something to do with my aunt." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go and inform the master immediately."
Yao Jinqian said, turned around and walked into the mansion, but in half an hour, Wei Yi appeared in front of Shen Zheng.
stumbled heavily, and he told the story again.
Wei Yi listened and breathed a sigh of relief.
He heard Yao Jinqian say that it was related to Shen Yueran, and said that Shen was so flustered that he really thought something had happened.
Shen Yueran married into the Zhou family, Shen Rihui would know sooner or later, and sooner or later his brother and sister would have a dispute. However, Shen Rihui is angry, in the end, it is Shen Yueran's own brother, and he will not hurt Shen Yueran. Therefore, he was not worried about this matter, and it was Wu Zhaoyan who surprised him.
Wu Zhaoyan actually asked Shen Rihui for silver directly, but he didn't expect it.
Wu Zhaoyan was born in a family, and he also served in Bianjing Mansion, and his fortune was extremely impressive in the eyes of ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, Wu Zhaoyan is not short of money. Since he was not short of money, why did he covet the Shen family's silver for a long time, and now he is even more anxious to ask Shen Rihui for silver?
He once heard from a colleague in the government that Wu Zhaoyan had a close relationship with Zhou An for a while, so what does Wu Zhaoyan's actions have to do with Zhou An today?
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, and he planned to appease Shen Zheng first.
"Shenzhong, you go back first. Brother Shen is leaving, and Sister-in-law Shen must not be able to stand it. You go back to take care of Sister-in-law Shen first, and the official will immediately send someone to look for Brother Shen, and as soon as there is a whereabout, the official will immediately send someone to inform you. ”
Shen Zhong heard Wei Yi's promise, Fang Cai's worries were swept away, and he jumped back.
After Shen Zhong left, Wei Yi pondered for a while, while instructing Yao Jinqian to go to the city inn to find Shen Rihui, while returning to the mansion, going straight to the library, calling up the correction documents handled by Wu Zhaoyan in the past year, and reading them carefully.
This look shows that there is a problem.
Almost all the correction documents handled by Wu Zhaoyan were related to Jin Mantang.
Warehousing, warehousing, calibration, inspection, identification, pricing, almost all matters related to Jin Mantang are handled by Wu Zhaoyan.
This is not normal.
There are so many corrections in the government, why did all Jin Mantang's lists fall into the hands of Wu Zhaoyan? Wu Zhaoyan is the youngest and youngest in the group of corrections, how can he take on such a heavy responsibility?
So, when did this abnormality begin?
He moved forward again, called up the documents of the past two years, and saw the problem again.
Take September last year as a watershed moment. Before September, Wu Zhaoyan had almost nothing to do with Jin Mantang, and after September, Wu Zhaoyan almost became Jin Mantang's spokesman for government affairs.
What happened in September?
He flipped through the government log.
In September, something really happened.
Zhou Zhongze, the eldest young master of the Zhou family, and Zhou Xiao, the second young master of the Zhou family, went to the government because of a gold leaf bowl of insufficient condition, and in the end, the person responsible for inspecting the gold leaf bowl was Wu Zhaoyan.
And that time was also the first time Wu Zhaoyan appeared in Jin Mantang's correction affairs.
Wu Zhaoyan, Jin Mantang, gold leaf bowl, he faintly felt that there must be some ulterior secret between the three.
He put down his paperwork and walked briskly outside.
It seems that this matter must be investigated from the beginning.
Fortunately, Prince Zhao left the gold leaf bowl with insufficient color, and he had to go to Yingtianfu anyway.
I turned around here, but I found that the door to the library had closed for some time.
A gleam flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he walked straight away.
Fingers touched the deadbolt of the door, and a voice sounded from behind him, "Where are the guards in a hurry?" ”
His back sank, and he turned around to salute, "Go back to Lord Yin, the next official is going to investigate the case." ”
At this time, there were only two people in the library, he and Zhao Xianyang.
A beam of sunlight slanted in from the eaves, he stood in the sunlight, and Zhao Xianyang stood in the shadows.
"Oh, what case do the guards want to investigate?" Zhao Xianyang asked.
Wei Yi knew it.
Since Zhao Xianyang appeared here, he came prepared, and it would only be self-defeating for him to fool him.
"My lord, I will find two cases full of gold."
"Oh-"
Wei Yi paused slightly, and then continued, "It's not two cases, but one. ”
"Yes."
Zhao Xianyang didn't know why, but he actually smiled.
He stepped out of the shadows, a smile of unknown meaning on his face.
"Is it one case or two, the guards might as well tell me about it?"
Wei Yi was upright and said, "Since my lord wants to know, the lower official has to tell the truth." The first time the two young masters of the Zhou family went to the palace was because of a gold leaf bowl, and Bai Shigang, the housekeeper of the Zhou family, was expelled from the capital because of a gold leaf bowl, so the official said that two cases are two cases, because the motives, time, and murder of the two cases are completely different. But if it is a case, it is also a case, because it is all because of the gold leaf bowl. ”
"Gold leaf bowl?"
Zhao Xianyang smiled, "It's all because of the gold leaf bowl, so what?" The Zhou family made this kind of gold jewelry, because of the gold leaf bowl dispute, what is unusual? ”
Wei Yi sneered, "But what if the gold leaf bowl in the two things is the same one, don't you think it's anything unusual?" ”
Zhao Xianyang stopped laughing.
"Guard, I want you to understand what you're talking about."
Wei Yi said, "Of course the lower officials understand. ”
"What the lower official wants to say is a gold leaf bowl, a gold leaf bowl with insufficient color."
In fact, he had no conclusive evidence, but Zhao Xianyang's sudden appearance instantly made him firm up his guess.
He's going to break the boat.
"There is a gold leaf bowl like this, a gold leaf bowl cast from the Kaneman Hall. I don't know who added iridium to make it a gold leaf bowl with insufficient color. Who this person is, Xia Guan doesn't know, but Xia Guan can guess two things about it. First of all, this man knew the art of alchemy and gold, and how to add iridium to gold. Secondly, this person may be someone from Jin Mantang or someone from the Zhou family, so that it has a chance to do this. ”
"Why did this person do this, the lower officials don't know. In short, a defective product was made with the mark of Jin Mantang, which made the two brothers of the Zhou family, who had always been at odds, think that they had caught each other's handles. ”
"The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and at that time, Zhou Lian'an, the master of the Zhou family, happened to leave Beijing, and there was no elder in the family, the brothers felt that the time had come. Both used the gold leaf bowl as evidence to accuse the other of stealing profits. Zhou Zhong said that Zhou Xiao was impure in gold casting, and Zhou Xiao was impure in alchemy, and the more noisy the two became, the more fierce they became, and they made trouble in the government. ”
"This matter was handled by an adult at that time, do you remember it?"
