Gu Jianglin waved his hand, "It's useless, you can't find me, after all, I've been in Qi County all these years and haven't gone out, how can I have the opportunity to come into contact with Dongzhu in the East China Sea?" ”

Lord Zhang's face was already in a cold sweat.

Shao Pei smiled, "For the sake of your innocence, it's understandable to check this time." ”

Gu Jianglin sighed again, "There are some things I really want to pretend to be confused, but there is no way, some people are not willing to let me pretend to be confused, so keep investigating, my father has guessed where I got these things from, right?" Then you tell your father and father about the origin of these jewels, and you must have made a decision in your heart. ”

Shao Pei didn't understand the meaning of this, "Fifth prince, you mean ......"

"What the emperor knows, the treasures I can access are also things that are not so new from hundreds of years ago, you just need to tell the emperor the origin of these things, presumably the emperor will feel that these things cannot be from me, after all, I don't have the money to get these new things, and Yanzhou can also check it." Gu Jianglin smiled and said slowly: "I only got that batch of treasures from the beginning of spring this year, from the beginning of spring to the completion of the dam, you can check my whereabouts during this period of time, if you still don't understand, just ask the emperor, the emperor has nothing to say about this matter, so naturally I can't say it first." ”

Shao Pei didn't understand it, but he still nodded, and he could see that he also respected the fifth prince, and after a long time, he said, "Lord Zhang, do you have anything else to say?" For example, are there any handwritten letters or anything like that? ”

"Could it be that someone sent me a bribe instead of the fifth prince." Master Zhang sneered.

"Hey, don't say it, it's really possible what you're talking about." Gu Jianglin stepped forward with a smile and said, "In case someone is afraid, I have just entered the court, and I have no cronies in the court, and I am afraid that he will bully me too strongly, so it is not impossible." ”

"Are you joking?" Master Zhang said ruthlessly.

"Then why are you sure it's me? Who gave you a bribe? Gu Jianglin patted the table and said, "You have to think clearly before you speak, and confirm whether there is such a person around Prince Ben." ”

"It's just a little guy." Master Zhang shook his head, "I don't remember what he looks like anymore." ”

"It's really full of loopholes, a guy with a large number of jewels said, bribe you for me, want you to be my person, do things for me, and contribute more to me in becoming the prince, without a certificate, how dare you believe that he is my person, Lord Shao, isn't this matter simple here?" Gu Jianglin said and sat down.

"I don't think these jewels can be bought by ordinary people, so I believe it, not to mention that you are the only one who can take out so many jewels for bribery." Master Zhang said coldly.

"I think you're talking about it." Gu Jianglin sneered, "If my opponent is so unbearable, wouldn't it be a loss of a lot of fun?" ”

"The question I asked you is enough for you to look it up." Gu Jianglin stood up, "I'm also tired today." ”

Shao Pei nodded, he can't be interrogated like this, he still needs more evidence to support, so it's not a way to continue asking like this, the two of them have their own opinions, and it seems that they are also involved in the emperor's affairs, so he can't make a decision easily, and the evidence in front of them now is the jewelry of bribery.

And these jewels do not say which company made them, and it is not easy to trace the origin. Reading nests

What's more, from the conversation between the two of them, he also learned that this matter is not so simple, and accepting bribes is a big deal, especially in the matter of the prince, how could Gu Jianglin only send a small servant to send it, and he didn't even have a single token.

And they don't seem to have been in contact before, they dare to accept bribes when they ask about such a big thing, they haven't talked about it, and the logic of this matter itself doesn't make sense, he served as the secretary of Dali Temple, and he hasn't seen such a strange case for so many years.

It's like someone made a plan, but didn't plan it well, so they dared to rush up.

The person who plotted was naturally the fifth prince Gu Jianglin, he was also innocent, Shao Pei had never come to a conclusion so quickly, and he felt that it was unreliable to make this conclusion, so he finally sighed leisurely and said: "Sort out the progress of the case so far, sort out all the doubts, and then report to the emperor." ”

This time is different from the cases he investigated before, although there were also princes and nobles before, they were not the emperor's biological sons, so he could not think about these, but if the emperor's affairs were not handled properly, it would be bad, and it was also for second consideration.

The emperor looked up at the tribute, and a sentence that everyone said in the court was recorded, and after reading it, he said: "This Dongzhu is newly harvested in the past two years?" ”

"Yes, Wechen has seen it all." Shao Pei nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"It's nothing else, but why did the Fifth Prince bring up these things in particular?" The emperor suddenly remembered those jewels, Gu Jianglin said that those were left by the emperor of the previous dynasty, and they have been composed for hundreds of years, that is to say, it is impossible to put in the pearls mined in the past two years.

Is he reminding of something?

She has already seen that batch of jewelry, the amount is indeed quite large, and the account is remembered clearly, if it is to sell the stolen goods, Gu Jianglin has been busy with sleeping horns recently, and it is not easy to hand over such a big thing to other people, even his friends around him Xu Don't know that he has actually investigated, so even if they have left some of their own, they have not had the opportunity to sell the stolen goods recently, if they want to send them, send those treasures directly, wouldn't it be much easier to come?

The older the antiques, the more valuable they are, so why replace them with some mess.

The emperor also felt that this matter was not very simple, and when he was in Yanzhou, he talked carefully with Gu Jianglin, and revealed in his words that he had the heart to make him the prince, and Gu Jianglin was not a fool, how could he not understand?

In that case, why should they unite with their courtiers and buy them with jewels and money, so that they may speak well for themselves?

What the emperor has cared about most throughout the ages is that his son is making small moves behind his back, isn't that looking forward to the emperor's death, so that he can have the right to inherit? The emperor also cares, but after he cares, he has to calm down and think about it carefully.

"There are indeed a lot of strange things about this matter, according to my understanding of the five princes, he has not had any savings in Qixian all these years, and I have always been very harsh on him, so I don't believe that he will have so much money?" The emperor sighed and said: "But he seems to have made a new friend in the rivers and lakes, his name is Qi Lichen, this person is not small, the fifth prince values him very much, you check his details." ”

"Does this matter have anything to do with him? When the bribery case occurred, he happened to be returning to his hometown of Qi County. Shao Pei frowned and said this, he didn't investigate it, so he didn't take it to heart, but now that the emperor brought it up again, it made him feel a little strange.

"Went back? It's for that girl, I don't know what's going on, forget it, I'll talk about it when it's over. The emperor shook his head, "No matter what, we still have to investigate it carefully." ”

Shao Pei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This matter will be carefully investigated by Weichen, I don't know what aspect the emperor wants Weichen to investigate?" ”
