Chu Nanyue's tone was as calm as water, but it stirred up waves in the hearts of all the ministers.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at Chu Nanyue, and saw that she was not afraid, but there was a sense of perseverance in her body, so he said: "But the stolen merchant has no grudge against you, and he will not be taking revenge on you." He and his family have clearly seen your soldiers, how do you explain that? ”

"Your Majesty, sometimes seeing may not be believing, although the last general doesn't know who the real thief is now, but the last general thinks that things are not as simple as they seem." Chu Nanyue said.

Xing Ziyi snorted coldly unconvinced: "Since General Chu has a good relationship with the soldiers, of course everything is on their side, not the people's side. ”

"Nope." Chu Nanyue vetoed it in a positive voice, "The last general only believes in the facts." ”

Saying that, Chu Nanyue took a step forward and knelt down and asked: "Your Majesty, Rong Mo will officially assist Lord Zhang in investigating the case, and the position of the main general, the last general can not do it, but ask the emperor to find out the case first, and then make a decision." ”

"What if it was really the work of your soldiers?" The emperor squinted at Chu Nanyue and said.

Chu Nanyue's eyes were full of determination: "Then the last general will definitely deal with them personally, and he will not show mercy!" ”

Perhaps Chu Nanyue's words were too earnest, and the emperor showed a wavering look.

At this time, Donglin Shuo couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Father, the son invites himself to supervise General Chu's case." ”

Chu Nanyue narrowed his eyes slightly, Dongling Shuo said that he was overseer, but in fact he was speaking for himself, so that the emperor could rest assured that he would put this matter in his hands again.

Although Zhao Jingyu had just joined the military department, he also stood up and said: "Weichen also thinks that General Chu should be given a chance to prove his innocence. ”

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have put this case in your hands." The emperor said, "But since these people are interceding for you, I will reluctantly hand over this case to you, and you must handle it properly, so as not to chill the hearts of the people in the capital." ”

"The last general has thanked Your Majesty." Chu Nanyue bowed to the leader's order.

After arriving at the yamen with Dongling Shuo, Zhang Song looked at Chu Nanyue with an apologetic expression: "General Chu forgives the crime, the criminal department is urging tightly, and the subordinate has to report it, and it is too late to say a word to the general." ”

"Don't mind." Chu Nanyue waved his hand, "If you don't report it, there will probably be someone who will play in today's court." ”

Chu Nanyue did not doubt Zhang Song's intentions, the last time in Xie Yinhua's case, he handled it fairly fairly.

At this time, Chu Nanyue understood that the thieves were coming for money? Most of them came for her position as a general.

"Master Zhang, there is no need to gossip, let's pass the man who was stolen last night again, and ask about the situation carefully." Aventurine Road.

The three of them sat in the hall, and when the man arrived, he saw Chu Nanyue present, and heard that it was Dongling Shuo, the sixth prince of the dynasty, who was seated, and his face was a little nervous.

"You don't have to be nervous, His Royal Highness the Sixth and General Chu are both people designated by the emperor, and they will not be partial, you can answer whatever we ask." Zhang Song hurriedly reassured.

Only then did the man kowtow and replied: "The grass people understand that everything is self-contained. ”

Chu Nanyue opened his mouth first: "At that time, saw the thief, besides you, was there anyone else?" ”

"There are also a few newly hired family members in the family, who are used to watch the nursing home. When I chased it out, maybe someone from the neighboring street also saw it. The man replied.

There are a lot of people involved, and it should be impossible for them to buy each other or make confessions. Chu Nanyue secretly threw away this idea in her heart.

"Okay, let me ask you, when you saw a thief, why can you conclude that it is a soldier of my garrison on the outskirts of Beijing?" Chu Nanyue asked.

The man said, "The grass people are people who do business, and they have been going to and from various cities for many years. The suburbs of Beijing are the only way out of the city, and the grass people have long remembered the appearance of the military uniforms worn by the soldiers. ”

"Did you have a lot of stolen property from your home this time?" Chu Nanyue said.

The man thought for a moment and said, "Because the business at home is full of gold and silver, those people are very heavy. ”

"People who have been stolen like you, say that the thieves are very good, and the sky is dark, and they can't see what they are wearing clearly, do you feel it when your family goes to chase them?" Chu Nanyue asked.

"Strange to say, but after the grass people's house was burglarized, the thieves ran to the brightly lit place. They were very good, but they were slow at first, and when they were about to catch up, they suddenly ran away. That's why we can see what they're wearing. The man replied.

"Clear?" Chu Nanyue repeated, "Then you can see clearly, are their uniforms clean?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he say, "Naturally, it's clean." ”

I didn't want Chu Nanyue to laugh, and her expression was a lot more relaxed.

Dongling Shuo and Zhang Song didn't understand what Chu Nanyue meant, so they heard Chu Nanyue say: "Okay, I'm done asking, you can go back and wait for news." If I need your testimony in the future, I will send someone to invite you. I will also find your lost belongings. ”

"Thank you, General Chu!" As soon as he heard Chu Nanyue's promise to get the money back, the man was immediately grateful.

After the man left, Zhang Song couldn't help but ask, "Did General Chu find a clue?" Without asking a few words, he let him go. ”

At present, the only person who has witnessed the thieves is the merchant.

"No need." Chu Nanyue said.

She looked at the puzzled eyes of the two before slowly explaining: "When I was in the court today, I didn't react for a while, I only instinctively felt strange. But as soon as I heard him, I completely understood. Do you know that the officers and men of our army take turns to go to the fields to plow, and their uniforms are often not changed for half a month, how can they be clean, as he said. ”

"You're saying that these people are pretending to be soldiers and deliberately planting them?" Tanglin Shuo quickly understood, and continued her words.

Chu Nanyue nodded: "This is one." Second, the man lives in the city, and the camp on the outskirts of Beijing is very far away from the city. The man's home was stolen when he was ugly, and our army had to assemble in the middle of the day, and there were less than two hours on the way, how did those people rush back to our army? ”

"Even if the light function is faster, the weight of the property they carry will affect the speed of travel. The strict discipline in the army made it even more difficult for them to commit crimes many times, hiding their belongings but never being discovered. Tanglin thought to himself.

He understood that Chu Nanyue would never conclude one thing just for one reason, she preferred to use clues to make her grasp bigger.

"Exactly." Chu Nanyue chuckled.

Zhang Song was surprised when he heard it: "Xia Guan has tried the case for many years, but he is really ashamed in front of General Chu." ”

He praised Chu Nanyue for being really thoughtful, but he couldn't help but worry: "But most of these statements are inferred by the general, just take the matter of Rongfu and say, if we don't catch anyone, we can't prove that everything is as the general said." ”

"That's why we're going to have to plan it a little more." Chu Nanyue's eyes flickered slightly.
