Chapter 119: Old Cases
Han Jian ordered Mrs. Luo to assassinate Levi, which was the first thing Han Jian instructed Mrs. Luo to do. On the one hand, Han Jian was testing Mrs. Luo's loyalty, and on the other hand, he really didn't look at Li Wei, who acted as the liaison of the Northern King Party in the capital, and killing him could cut off the connection between the Northern King Party and many people in the court.
Han Jian didn't expect that Mrs. Luo killed Shun LĂŹ, but in the end, she planted the blame on Huang Lie. After listening to Mrs. Luo's description of the situation at that time, Han Jian probably understood what was going on, and he couldn't completely blame Mrs. Luo's subordinates for doing things unfavorably, at that time, Levi fell downstairs completely because of fate, and there was no tripping under his feet, just being kicked by Huang Lie, people would still fall downstairs, but maybe the situation would be better, at least they wouldn't fall to death directly.
"Where is that man now?" Han Jian asked in a deep voice.
Mrs. Luo didn't answer, and Da Xiliu on the side interjected: "The person has been wiped out, please rest assured, Your Highness, no one will track it down......"
Han Jian looked at the two women in front of him, the people in Xiliang's old department were ruthless and didn't show anything, and even their own people could do it. However, Han Jian is not a person who is overflowing with benevolence, he also knows that extraordinary means are used in extraordinary times, and if someone tracks him down, this matter is indeed not easy to do.
"Without my instructions, this matter will be stopped for the time being, and the rest will wait for my instructions in advance." Han Jian was in a hurry to go to the Tingwei Mansion, so he didn't delay, just gave a few sentences and set off.
Mrs. Luo and Onishi Yanagi Gong saw Han Jian off. When Han Jian walked away, Da Xiliu was a little puzzled: "Godmother, we are doing a very beautiful thing, why does Dongwang seem to be dissatisfied?" â
"The matter was implicated in the people of Nanwangfu for no reason, and the king of the east was naturally dissatisfied for the sake of the overall consideration. Be cautious next time, Dongwang is a person who does great things. It's hard to deal with. Mrs. Luo spoke with some emotion, she had considered the attitude of the East King before she came. Seeing Dongwang's attitude, her heart was fixed. This shows that she did not vote for the wrong person. The East King was indeed going further than she had imagined.
"But godmother, how can the king of the east sincerely help us Xiliang people restore the country? Didn't he use us as his tools to kill? Daxi Liuqing said with a little excitement, "Commander Li has urged the godmother many times to escort the money and grain to the Western Capital, but the godmother has not moved for a long time, could it be that the godmother doesn't want to send this batch of money and grain?" â
Mrs. Luo glanced at Da Xiliu, her eyes were deep, and she said coldly: "For my mother, I will grasp the measure, and I don't need you to talk nonsense." Now that the wind is tight, what is the use of sending this batch of money and food? Next time, Commander Li will send someone again. Just send it away, just say about the scheduling, I will personally explain to the above. â
Da Xiliu didn't expect Mrs. Luo to be angry, and she was a little silent. Regarding Mrs. Love's choice, she has no right to criticize, she only needs to be ordered to do things.

Tingwei's Mansion.
Han Jian and the guards arrived in a hurry, and at this time, the people from the Criminal Department had already brought the documents to pick up the people, but they were pushed by Lin Zhan in every possible way, and they waited until Han Jian passed the empress's edict.
The person in charge of the Criminal Department is Zhou Yuncai, the left waiter of the Criminal Department. He is a colleague of Li Wei, and what he is holding is a document just issued by the Criminal Department, and the signer is also himself. This kind of homicide case involving the death of an official of the imperial court is already a major case. It is also legitimate for the criminal department to come and raise people. Zhou Yuncai was also very arrogant at the beginning, and even if the East King came in person, he didn't give much face, until Han Jian took out the empress's edict.
"His Majesty's edict has been issued. The criminal is temporarily detained in the Tingwei Mansion pending trial, Zhou Shilang, please go back. "Han Jian came. After reading the Queen's edict in public, he said.
Zhou Yuncai didn't expect that the East King would come in person, and he also brought the empress's edict. This time, he was instructed by the third prince Yang Yu to come and raise people, but now he can't mention people, the matter is tantamount to not being done, and he can't go back to make a difference.
"Lord Wang, it has only been more than an hour since the case happened, and you came here with His Majesty's edict, which is a little unreasonable." Zhou Yuncai said with doubts in his tone.
"Listening to Zhou Shilang's meaning, the edict in the hand of this king is forged?" Han Jian asked with a sneer.
Even if Zhou Yuncai was suspicious, he didn't dare to continue, so he had no choice but to apologize, and said a little angrily: "The officials came to mention people, just for official business, and there is no disrespect, and I hope that the prince Haihan." The lower official will take people to say goodbye, go back and ask the boss and His Majesty, and then mention people! â
Although Zhou Yuncai left with someone, Han Jian could feel that this person had no intention of giving up, and the empress's edict didn't seem to be taken seriously in the eyes of these people.
Zhou Yuncai left, and Lin Zhan stepped forward and saluted: "Now that the prisoner is being detained alone in the cell, does the young man go over to take a look?" â
Han Jian said: "No need, you take good care of the criminal, not only to ensure that no one can approach him, but also to pay attention to whether the food and wine are poisoned." If the prisoner has three long and two short in the cell, your career ...... I'm afraid it will come to an end. â
Lin Zhan said: "Don't worry, young man, I know how to do it." I'll let people go back and explain to my little sister, and I'll be in the Tingwei Mansion for the past few days to ensure that the prisoners are taken care of. â
"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, he was still very satisfied with Lin Zhan's responsible attitude.
The most important thing now is not to let Huang Lie have an accident. As for the interrogation of the return, it was not in his scope at the moment, but he seemed to have a faint feeling that Huang Lie should be safe.

Han Jian was a little sleepy when he returned to Dongwangfu, and was about to go to rest, when Zhang Xing, who went out to investigate Miss He's family, also brought people back.
"The subordinates have found out all the details of He Zhonglian's crime, and the young son still looks ...... now"
"Bring it." Although Han Jian was a little tired, he didn't want to put off his business until the second day.
Han Jian asked Zhang Xing to go to the main hall, and while he looked at the case file, he could ask questions directly about the unclear places. Han Jian read the case file, and suddenly his brows locked, He Zhonglian entered the household department, completely to track down the household deficit case, and the evidence had already been found, but the evidence was insufficient. The case was full of twists and turns, and many people were involved in the middle, including some colleagues in Han Jian's Treasury Yamen, and the most famous on the list was Han Jian's boss, Ma Jining, the leader of the Treasury Department.
"Even the Kus is involved?" Han Jian said casually, as if asking, sighing.
Zhang Xing on the side said: "That's right." Young boy, we also found out that in the He Zhonglian corruption case, there were several officials who were convicted at the same time, all of them copied a large amount of gold and silver at home and could not explain the origin, there was a possibility of being framed, the case had not yet been concluded, and several criminals committed suicide in prison, and the case was tried by the Criminal Department, and the person in charge of the trial was Li Wei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, who died unexpectedly tonight. â
"Something to do with Levi?" Han Jian smiled helplessly, he was involved with Li Wei and these people, so it was clear that he was murdered?
Zhang Xing continued: "After He Zhonglian's death, His Majesty ordered the hearing office to investigate the case thoroughly, but in the end, it was closed. However, after the case, several managers of the household department changed, and Ke Jing, the former secretary of the household department, was transferred, and the case was closed in this way. â
As Zhang Xing narrated, Han Jian also read all the case files. This case originated from the household department, some people reported that there were officials in the household department who were short for the party, and then the empress sent He Zhonglian into the household department to secretly investigate the case, and then He Zhonglian found out clues to crack the deficit case in one fell swoop, and then the deficit case was investigated without evidence, and two months later He Zhonglian was retaliated against and was reported for corruption and caught the evidence, and then He Zhonglian was in prison "committed suicide in fear of crime", and then the imperial court sent the listening office to investigate the Yamen to form a special case team to clearly enter the household department to investigate thoroughly and still find no clues, and finally the result was the transfer of household personnel. The case is closed.
In these links, it seems that they are interlocked, but Han Jian always feels that something is missing.
Later, Han Jian turned the first page of the case file, and on the first page, someone reported that the household department was in a deficit case, and it was obviously reported that the household department secretly colluded with the treasury department and the yamen to embezzle the treasury bank. Why did the imperial court only send people to the household department to conduct a thorough investigation, but there was no mention of the treasury in the whole case? Could it be that just because the Treasury Division is also a subordinate yamen of the Shangting Office, the empress thinks that it is unreasonable for the Fengcha Si to Cha Kusi to be a brother and a brother-in-law?
Han Jian looked up at Zhang Xing and asked, "In this case, has there been a personnel change in the treasury?" â
Zhang Xing pondered slightly: "Kusi...... Hui Shaogongzi, his subordinates seem to have heard that when He Zhonglian entered the household department to investigate the case last year, His Majesty also sent a new treasurer to take up the post of the treasury secretary, as for who it was, and what about this person later...... The minister inquired, but he didn't know at all? â
"What?" Han Jian was a little surprised. His current identity is the Treasury Division, and the Treasury is the second-in-command of the Treasury Division, but it has been vacant for a long time, and now he knows that his previous Treasury Division is likely to be sent by the Empress to investigate the corruption and deficit case, and in the end it turned out to be "whereabouts unknown"?
Han Jian felt a little incomprehensible, like the position of the Treasury Division, although the official said that it was not big, it was also the fourth grade. An official of the fourth grade, whether he is in office or out of office, is clearly recorded in the assessment of the Ministry of Officials and the Fengcha Division, how can there be such a result that his whereabouts are unknown or even his name cannot be found?
"Find out in detail who this person is, and what is the whereabouts of this person in the end." Han Jian commanded.
"Yes, young boy." Zhang Xing took the order and left.
When Zhang Xing went out, Sima Yi, who had already returned earlier, yawned and came to the main hall, still holding a salutation-like thing in his hand.
"Young boy, why did you come back so late, the matter over there surnamed Huang has been resolved?" Sima asked as he came in.
"Hmm." Han Jian packed up the case file and prepared to take it back to the room, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." â
Sima Yi smiled evilly and said, "I'm afraid some things can't wait until tomorrow, here...... Oh, it was given to me by the next person, saying that someone came to hand over the invitation today, it seems that you are invited to go out to play with the young son, what new friends did the young man meet in the capital? â
Han Jian took the invitation and opened it, but it was a famous thorn, but Gu Xin'er found someone to send it, and asked him to come over to talk about it, which seemed to have the intention of playing together.
Because there are a lot of things going on these days, Han Jian is embarrassed to go to Gu Mansion to pursue Gu Xin'er every day, so it has been a few days since the last time the two met in Cuiyang Building.
Han Jian smiled slightly, now he doesn't take the initiative, but the girls take the initiative. This made him a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, go back to sleep. Starting tomorrow, I will do my best to help Yang Gongzi do a good job of supervising the storage of summer grain, and you will be busy when the time comes. (To be continued......)
