Han Jian and Gu Xin'er played together outside the city until the afternoon, and Han Jian personally sent Gu Xin'er home. In front of the Gu Mansion, Han Jian met Gu Weipan, who had just come out of the courtyard.

Gu Weipan came back this time to discuss the naturalization of the concubine and son raised outside. With Han Jian as the intermediary, Han Jian had already discussed the matter with Gu Song's before notifying Gu Weipan to come back. After Gu Weipan got Gu Song's permission to allow his concubine and son to enter the mansion, he had temporarily canceled his plan to "reconcile" with Gu Song's family, but Gu Weipan did not plan to ease the relationship with Gu Song's family for the time being. When Han Jian saw Gu Weipan this time, he felt that his face was still very dark.

"Chief Gu, is it so coincidental?" Han Jian helped Gu Xin'er get out of the carriage and greeted Gu Weipan who came out of the mansion with a smile. At this time, Gu Song's family personally sent Gu Weipan out of the mansion, as the mother of the family, Gu Song's family couldn't raise her head in front of Gu Weipan at all, in order to gain Gu Weipan's mercy, she was more like a subordinate of Gu Weipan at this time.

Gu Weipan glanced at Han Jian, Gu Xin'er said timidly, "Father An", and went behind her mother to help her.

"You go in first, the old man has something to discuss with the king of the east." Gu Weipan said to Gu Xin'er and Gu Song.

Gu Xin'er helped her mother into the door, and only Han Jian and Gu Weipan were left in front of the mansion, and Gu Weipan turned her head to look at Han Jian again.

"Chief Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days, the person who asked Chief Gu to check last time, I don't know if there is any news?" Without waiting for Gu Weipan to speak, Han Jian asked first.

The last time Han Jian was in the listening office, he seemed to have some disputes with Gu Weipan, only the two of them knew, in fact, Han Jian and Gu Weipan had a good discussion at that time. Han Jian first coerced and enticed. Zai Xiaozhi moved with reason and emotion, and asked Gu Weipan to help investigate the former household department Shangshu Tang Sheng, because the investigation takes time, and Han Jian did not show excessive concern about this matter, so as not to make Gu Weipan think that he had another purpose.

"Hmm." Gu Weipan seemed to have a straight face in front of Han Jian, but after all, he always said with a straight face, especially when he talked to Han Jian, he was still down to business.

"Yes, indeed." Gu Wei Pan said, "Although Tang Gunian has a good official reputation, he has no bad deeds during his tenure. The net worth is also innocent on the surface. However, after the old man's investigation, the land and house he owned in his hometown were far from consistent with his official income. But to prove that he is the mastermind of the corruption case, evidence is needed. He is not mentioned in his confessions. Lack of witnesses. In terms of physical evidence, this person has the support of the king of Yanning County behind him, and some money of unknown origin. He cannot be convicted yet. ”

Han Jian nodded and said, "Chief Gu has reported these to His Majesty?" ”

Gu Weipan's tone was a little unkind, and he said: "Now that there is no evidence, how can I present His Majesty?" ”

"Does Chief Gu think that Tang Shangshu has anything to do with this case now?" Han Jian asked as he pushed the boat.

"Naturally, it's related, but ......" Gu Weipan paused, "The old man, as the chief of the Upper Hearing Department, can't be emotional, and there must be evidence to convict people." ”

Han Jian sighed and said, "Even if there is evidence, I'm afraid it's too late now, right?" ”

Gu Weipan frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "Now Tang Shangshu is ordered by the emperor to accompany the king of Yanning County to escort the money and grain north. If Tang Shangshu is really involved in the corruption case, then he also colluded with the king of the north, Chief Gu thinks that he will have the courage to come back when he goes north this time? ”

Gu Weipan groaned: "You mean he won't come back?" ”

"There's no reason for him to come back. Now that the corruption case has been discovered, his position as the head of the household department will definitely be replaced by others, and His Majesty will inevitably investigate the household department and the treasury in detail, what is the use of him staying in the capital? ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, Gu Weipan also thought about it, indeed, as Han Jian said, Tang Sheng is now a worthless chess piece to the Northern King. Now the corruption case is making a lot of noise because of the fugitives, and Tang Sheng is afraid that those fugitives will involve him, and how dare he come back when he is in danger.

"Now that people have escaped, what else?" Gu Weipan looked at Han Jian a little angrily, as if to say, since you know that he will escape, why don't you go and report to His Majesty as soon as possible, and let His Majesty change someone to escort the money and food, so as not to let people escape?

Han Jian said: "Chief Gu, have you heard that some of the embezzlement criminals detained by the Tingwei Mansion were robbed and escaped some some ago?" ”

Gu Weipan was a little puzzled, frowned and said: "This case is so big, and Feng Chasi is also cooperating in the investigation of this case, how can the old man not know?" ”

"I got some clues below, I know where some of these people are hiding, I wonder if Chief Gu is interested in knowing and finding out these people?" Han Jian suddenly smiled and asked Gu Wei Pan Dao.

Gu Weipan's brows furrowed even tighter, although Gu Weipan was not a scheming man, he was not stupid, and he immediately thought, since this kid found out where the fugitive was hiding, why didn't he report the crime, but came to sue me?

"You say." Gu Weipan didn't reveal his intentions, but just said lightly.

Han Jian told the hiding place of some fugitives, and when Gu Weipan learned where these people were hiding, he was not only shocked, but also a little incredulous. Because the place Han Jian said is the residence of some famous ministers in the DPRK, these people have nothing to do with the corruption case, and the fugitives are now stranded in Luoyang City and can't get out of the city, how can they hide in the mansions of these ministers? Moreover, even if there is indeed a matter, it must be very secret, how can the king of the east find out?

"Is that true?" Gu Weipan still looked at Han Jian with some disbelief.

Han Jian thought to himself, the person was sent by me in the past two days, how could it not be true? It really couldn't be more true.

From the case of corruption, according to clues, Han Jian has dug up a group of ministers in the court who have been bribed by the Northern King and have been receiving benefits from the Northern King in recent years. However, the situation at that time did not allow the situation to expand, so Han Jian did not expose it, which was tantamount to maintaining the case at a small level. When Han Jian sent Mrs. Luo to rob some of the embezzlement criminals, he let Mrs. Luo's people take the name of the king of the north. and for the time being they were to be placed in the city. If it weren't for this, how could these fugitives be like frightened birds, and how could they be like stones sinking into the sea in Luoyang City, leaving the imperial court without any clues?

Han Jian kept this group of people for his purpose, which was to use this group of people to create chaos within the Northern King Party when the shape was taking a sharp turn.

After the Xianbei people knocked on the invasion, Han Jian already had a premonition that his shape had changed. In the past few days, Han Jian sent Sima Yi, Zhang Xing and others, together with Mrs. Luo's people, to send these fugitives to the mansions of some officials involved in the case. Because the fugitive mistakenly thought that Mrs. Luo's person was the person of the North King, after escaping from the cell, he also trusted Mrs. Luo's people very much, not only told some unknown details of the case, but also named many people in the court who colluded with the North King. Han Jian took advantage of the situation and sent them to these officials' mansions under the pretext of being tight, in the name of letting these officials protect them and take the opportunity to send them out of the city, but in fact, Han Jian just splashed dirty water on these people's faces.

In order to prevent themselves from being exposed as colluding with the king of the north, there were only two choices for these fugitives after they entered the palace, either to kill them or to send them away. Although there is a third option that is to temporarily keep people in the house and send them away when the limelight is over, Han Jian obviously won't let them be satisfied.

The first thing Han Jian did was to tell Gu Weipan about it first. Let Gu Weipan know.

"Chief Gu, this matter is so serious, how dare you talk nonsense?" Han Jian said with a cautious expression.

Gu Weipan was silent for a long time, and said, "Even if what you say is true, the old man can't make decisions without permission and send people to search these ministers' mansions. The corruption case is over and can no longer be implicated. ”

Han Jian glanced at Gu Weipan, and said in his heart that Old Man Gu was really a cautious person. Gu Weipan's current thinking is basically an old-fashioned and serious idea, if something happens, just control the matter under a certain level, the bigger the case, the worse it will end. When Han Jian was first involved in the fraud and embezzlement cases, he had the same thoughts and practices as Gu Weipan.

Han Jian sighed and said, "I understand what Chief Gu is worried about, why wasn't it the case before?" Could it be that Chief Gu forgot that after the corruption case, who suppressed the impact of the case? ”

Gu Weipan's expression changed slightly, and when he was ordered to go to the Tingwei Mansion to cooperate with Han Jian in handling the corruption case, he had already realized that Han Jian was also intending to reduce the influence of the case.

"Then why do you want to continue to implicate the case today?" Gu Weipan asked.

Han Jian said helplessly: "Now that the Xianbei people have suddenly invaded the border with our DPRK, doesn't Chief Gu think that this matter is a coincidence with the corruption case?" If it is expected to be good, the Xianbei people will inevitably collude with the king of the north, and this time the Xianbei people committed the situation leave, and the king of the north plotted against him. If at this time, a group of moths that are dangerous to stay in Luoyang City, when the king of the north rebels and raises troops to the south, I am afraid that it will be too late to clean up. ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, Gu Weipan's face was a little heavy.

Gu Weipan thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Han Jian said made some sense. The previous case was suppressed, mainly because it was widely implicated and detrimental to the stability of the society. Now that the king of the north is about to rebel, if he doesn't find out some people, they will sooner or later become a scourge to the court.

Gu Weipan nodded slightly and said, "The old man knows how to do it." ”

Han Jian didn't ask in detail, but he probably guessed what Gu Weipan would do.

Han Jian said goodbye with a smile: "Then I won't bother in the future, so I will leave." ”

"No." Gu Weipan's face was dark, and his sedan chair had already been prepared, so he hurriedly entered the sedan chair. Han Jian watched the sedan chair leave in a hurry, and thought that Gu Weipan should go back to the listening office to prepare something.

Han Jian directly took the guards back to the Dongwang Mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a lot of officials from the Tingwei Mansion guarding the door of the Dongwang Mansion. Lu Fengning, the new Imperial Commander's Mansion Shaofu who had only met in the morning, looked at him with a smile from afar, as if he deliberately brought someone to wait for him to come back.

Han Jian looked at this battle, there were a lot of people, led by Lin Zhan, and there were almost more than two hundred yacha. This posture is almost about to confiscate the annex of the East Wangfu. (To be continued......)
