Chapter 37: A War of Words
After all the causes and consequences of the incident were investigated, Yejun City immediately sent all the evidence found in hand to the emperor's table.
"Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has successfully found out the thief, but that person is really cunning and now he has disappeared."
After checking for most of the day, Yeyun City never thought that he would be the trusted chief of the guard by his side, and he couldn't hold his face in front of Yejun City.
Pretending to cough, he coughed a few times before speaking.
"This case has worked hard for you, I have ordered this matter to be transferred to the Criminal Department for investigation, Aiqing can rest assured."
The matter has come to light, what else can the criminal department go to find out, and it is not a big deal to recover the criminals, which is clearly to envy the killing of donkeys.
Yejun City didn't take this matter to heart, he had already seen Yeyun City's face clearly over the years.
Thinking of the financial and material resources paid this time, Ye Juncheng sat in a wheelchair with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said casually.
"The emperor's ministers investigated this matter, and it took more than 50,000 taels to find out the case, and I don't know if Your Majesty can reimburse it."
Night Cloud City's fingers tapping on the table paused for a moment or two, and there was a little more surprise on his face, and he looked at Night Monarch City Dao with some confusion.
"It's just investigating a case of theft, and if it costs so much silver."
Yejun Cheng didn't talk much nonsense at this time, and directly handed over these sorted out account books, looking at the face of the silver, and his attitude was very sincere.
"After graduation, I probably look at the expenses of the minister's investigation of the case, and the reason why there is such a large amount of money is mainly because the golden silk armor was purchased by the minister on the black market."
Although Yeyun City is already the king of a country, it is a little unhappy to give so much silver to Yejun City at once.
After thinking about it, he thought of a good idea and said to Night Monarch City.
"You also know that the treasury is empty now, and the money in the treasury is best used on the blade, as for your losses, after finding out the truth, everything collected from the chief of the guard will be owned by you, and it will be regarded as a beautiful reward for your case."
It is clear that if you want to ask me for money, I will cry poor with you, probably because I am worried that Night Monarch City will rebel, and after finishing speaking, he added.
"The chief of the guard must have gained a lot of money by selling the golden silk armor, plus he has been on duty in the palace all these years and the benefits he has received from below, you will definitely not lose money in this transaction."
Having said that, Night Monarch City had no other choice than pretending to be happy and thanking Dade.
In less than a day, even children of several years old in the entire capital knew that the prisoner who stole the golden silk armor was Li Dayi, the chief of the guard.
The road was full of barricades set up by the Criminal Department, and each soldier held a portrait of Li Dayi in his hand, but whenever he saw a man, he would carefully check his identity.
Besides, Li Dayi found that there were officers and soldiers who were capturing him everywhere outside, so he immediately changed his disguise and fled to a place of temporary safety.
At the same time, he secretly found the people of the Jianghu family who stayed in Beijing, and made a promise.
"It's like when you all participated in the sale of gold silk armor, and now that I'm in trouble, you can't leave me alone."
The person who docked with him was five big and three thick, and he seemed to have a simple temperament.
"Brother Li, don't worry, there are rules for doing things with us, and your business is our business."
Then he scratched his head a little tangled and said a little embarrassed.
"It's just that your brother and I are a little stupid and don't know how to help you."
Hearing that the other party was still willing to help him, Li Dayi carried that heart and said that a painting was on the road.
"The reason why I became a street rat that everyone shouts and beats is because of the Lord Regent Night Monarch City, and the woman in the portrait is his new favorite recently, and catching her will definitely allow me to get out of this matter."
In order to confuse the Queen Mother, these Yejun Cheng deliberately spread the importance of Yun Langge to him outside, and once deliberately said at a private banquet: Yun Rongge and him are one, and whoever dares to bully Yun Rongge will be against him.
It was also because of this smoke bomb released by Night Monarch City that people from the outside world were convinced of this.
After finishing speaking in Yeyun City, Yejun City had not even left the palace before he was immediately stopped by the eunuchs beside the Queen Mother.
The eunuch said in a sharp and sharp voice, pinching his throat.
"Lord Wang, please stay, please move back if there is a queen mother."
The Queen Mother was holding a small white milk cat with different eyes in one hand, and the other hand kept running the cat's hair, looking like a harmless noblewoman.
But only Night Monarch City knows how vicious this person in front of him really is, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Ever since the Queen Mother knew that Yejun Cheng had secretly withheld the letter written to her by Yun Rongge, he had been holding back a breath of anger in his heart, but he had never found the right opportunity to be angry.
"The regent's case has been clarified this time, and your name is about to be sounded by the emperor, but some things that should be yours are yours, and those things that don't need you should not be delusional."
Speaking of which, the Queen Mother was even annoyed by the dead Emperor, who had been favored by Yejun City in every way when he was in the world, and he could no longer see other princes except in his eyes.
If it weren't for the accident later, the throne would not have been on his son's turn, but when he was dying, he even put them together and established Yejun City as the regent, becoming an existence with power over ten thousand people under one person.
The meaning of the Queen Mother's words was understood by Yejuncheng, who was worried that she was coveting her son's throne, and said coldly.
"This truth is naturally understood, just like what Niang Niang said is who's own, and no one can take it away, isn't it?"
When he spoke, he stared at the Queen Mother with straight eyes, although this sentence literally almost meant the same thing, but it was a hint of the Queen Mother.
The queen stiffened, and shot back unceremoniously.
"It's good that the regent can understand this truth, don't do that kind of dove occupying the magpie's nest."
Yejun Cheng was not a good-tempered person in the first place, and after being provoked by the Queen Mother one after another, he also fought back.
"Of course, it is excellent to be able to reach a peaceful consensus, but I am afraid that some people will get cheap and sell well, and they will still have to think of what others are in front of when they have already obtained far more than themselves."
This has clearly told the Queen Mother that since she has obtained the throne of the emperor that originally belonged to him, she must not get another inch to save her life.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to knock on Yejun City well, but who knew that she had fallen behind from the beginning, and now she was ridiculed openly and secretly, where did she suffer from this kind of anger.
"I'm afraid that from now on, outsiders will only know your name as the regent, and the emperor will be above you."
"Niangniang is too worried, the emperor is the emperor of my dynasty, as long as he can be a virtuous monarch, no one can go ahead of him no matter what."
This is quite nice, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not the same thing at all, if he really crosses over, then it will indirectly show that Yeyun City is not a virtuous monarch, and he is not worthy of sitting in this position at all.
Sorting out this central idea, the Queen Mother's face was crooked, and the circulating phoenix eyes erupted with fierce anger.
"The regent is very eloquent, it seems that you should be the first debater in my dynasty, and no one is as good as you when it comes to lip service."
To the Queen Mother's warning, Yejun Cheng didn't pay attention to it at all, and said unceremoniously.
"Thank you for the queen mother's optimism, it's just that Juncheng's ambition is not here, the mother is too worried, since my father has made me the regent, I know that I will pay a modest effort for this world."
Hearing that Yejun City actually used the first emperor to suppress herself, the Queen Mother was furious, but when she thought of the power in the other party's hands, she was very angry in her heart.
He can only pretend to be kind on his face, and he can't do anything to Night Monarch City at all.
Yun Langge was locked up in the regent palace all day long, and went to the garden to count the petals with nothing to do, his face was full of sadness, and he said boringly.
"Is it that I spoke too heavily last time, why has the willow kite never come to trouble me recently, and it's really a little uncomfortable to suddenly be idle."
Yun Langge is not a quiet character, not to mention that there is no other tool for recreation in this palace, in the past, Liu Kite came to look for trouble from time to time, and she could also pass the boring time with the other party.
But after a quarrel this time, Liu Kite immediately became calm and guarded, even if she accidentally met on the road, she said hello to Yan Yuese and left.
"It's boring."
Yun Langge looked up to the sky again and sighed.
For some reason, I suddenly remembered the mood of going out shopping, because I really didn't have enough money, so I went to the housekeeper to pay the money.
Because although Yejun City made people usually watch Yun Rongge, they did not control her freedom, and the housekeeper immediately notified the account office to pay her a part of the money.
Yun Langge walked around the street with a money bag, because it was rare to see this original street, it looked very emotional, and it didn't take long for him to hold a lot of things in his hands.
As I ate a small cake and walked, I suddenly felt that something was wrong behind me, as if there was a pair of eyes hiding in the crowd and looking at me.
After discovering these situations, Yun Langge became very careful, and every time he crossed a street, he would carefully observe the changes in the surrounding crowd, and sure enough, he was found to be different.
There were some people who blended in the crowd and stared at themselves without blinking, and followed them not far or close.
