Chapter 439: Finding Official Silver
When Ji Yanning went to look for He Zhang, He Zhang was looking at the map of Qianzhou City.
Although it has now been determined who did the theft of the official silver, he can also feel that Xin Yuan is not so easy to catch alive, if he can't find the official silver, his black gauze hat is still a little dangerous.
"My lord, Dr. Ji is here. The official said to He Zhang.
He Zhang looked up, but he was a little surprised, but when he thought that he had led troops to take down Ji Yanning before, this Ji girl had always been somewhat mindful.
His eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Let Dr. Ji come in." ”
Ji Yanning walked into He Zhang's study.
He Zhang stepped forward, saw that Ji Yanning's face had improved a lot, and asked, "I don't know why Dr. Ji came to find this official?"
Ji Yanning said: "I'll come over and look at the map near Qianzhou City. ”
Ji Yanning still has a rough map, but the detailed map near Qianzhou City is an important thing, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to get it.
Hearing Ji Yanning ask for the map, He Zhang was slightly stunned, it turned out that this Doctor Ji didn't come to Xingshi to ask for guilt!
He coughed lightly, and then asked, "What does Miss Ji want this map to do?"
Ji Yanning didn't hide it from him, and said, "I think it's very likely that Xin Yuan hid the stolen official silver not far from the river. ”
He Zhang couldn't understand Ji Yanning's words, and he asked, "Why?"
Ji Yanning explained: "At the beginning, Xin Yuan asked the old man who pushed the swill cart to hide the official silver in the swill, so as to transport the silver out. But the swill stinks, and after it is transported, the silver must be cleaned, and it is not easy to clean up so much silver in the swill, so I think it is very likely that Xin Yuan will choose to hide the official silver around the river that is alive from the stream. ”
After listening to her explanation, He Zhang's eyes lit up.
Why didn't he think of it!
He Zhang handed the map on the table to Ji Yanning: "The map near Qianzhou City is here, Miss Ji take a look, is there a suitable place?"
Ji Yanning took the map over and studied it carefully.
There are many rivers in Qianzhou, two of which pass near Qianzhou City, Ji Yanning studied it carefully, and finally finalized four or five points.
She said: "Focus on these places to see if there are any Zhuangzi around." Especially if there are no villages around, pay special attention. ”
He Zhang nodded, he looked at the map a few more times, and felt that the points that Ji Yanning picked out were indeed very ingenious.
With a general direction of investigation, He Zhang took his subordinates to the places that Ji Yanning said without saying a word.
Ji Yanning asked his two guards to follow and stare at each other to see if it would be as he guessed.
He Zhang searched three places in two days, but still couldn't find them.
On the third day, Rong Che had returned to Qianzhou City from Nanzhao County.
As soon as Rong Che entered the city gate, he hurried to the house.
Ji Yanning couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Rong Che who suddenly appeared in the house.
"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" asked Ji Yanning.
Usually, when you are in a hurry, there will be one or two guards who will explore the road first, and they will come over in advance to report a message before coming back, but Ji Yanning has not received the news that Rong Che is coming back, and suddenly saw him in front of his eyes, so he naturally felt a little surprised.
Rong Che saw Ji Yanning's surprised and happy expression, and was very satisfied, and stepped forward to hug Ji Yanning into his arms.
"I missed you, so I came back. ”
His deep voice sounded in his ears, and the roots of Ji Yanning's ears were a little red.
She laughed and said, "You've only been away for about half a month, why do you miss me?"
"I miss it so much even if it's a day away. Rong Che said, then let go of her and asked, "Could it be that you don't want me?"
Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm very busy, where do I have time to think about you." ”
Rong Che heard Ji Yanning's words, and his face was aggrieved: "What is more important than me?"
Ji Yanning couldn't help but smile and said, "It's a lot." ”
Rong Che was even more aggrieved, looked at Ji Yanning, and gently tugged at her sleeve: "I'm so sad, don't you plan to coax me?"
Pearl standing behind Ji Yanning saw His Royal Highness King Xuan like a child, and couldn't help but bow his head and chuckle.
This is the king of Xuan who only has the eldest lady in his heart.
Ji Yanning said: "Don't make trouble, tell me why you came back?"
Now that Xin Yuan hasn't caught it, she didn't expect Rong Che to come back at this time.
Rong Che coughed lightly, recovered his tone and said: "Nanzhao County's side has stabilized, so naturally there is no need for me to stare there, and I think that if Xin Yuan escapes, it is very likely that he will return to Nanzhao County." ”
Ji Yanning agreed with his statement.
If ordinary people fall to such a situation, they must find a safe place to avoid this for a while, but Xin Yuan is a person who is extremely unwilling to admit defeat in his heart, which can be seen from the fact that he fed Ji Yanning poison when he was in Luoyi Village.
So even if he is almost defeated, in order to revenge * eradicate the trouble, even if he takes a risk, he will return to Qianzhou City to deal with himself.
Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, it was precisely because she thought of this possibility that she tried not to go out these days, and the guards in the house were strict.
"Now that you're back, let's rest first. Ji Yanning said, Rong Che looked like a dusty man, and he must have been a little tired, "Anyway, now that you're back, it's not an overnight thing to catch Xin Yuan." ”
Rong Che nodded, and then walked towards his yard.
Seeing that Ji Yanning was fine, he was relieved.
He had put Ji Yanning in danger too many times, so he didn't dare to gamble anymore.
Rong Che went to take a bath, which eased the exhaustion of his body a lot, and had lunch with Ji Yanning, and a guard hurried over from outside.
"Miss, He Zhang searched all the locations you said, and found the hidden official silver in a Zhuangzi's cellar. The guards reported.
Ji Yanning and Rong Che were slightly stunned when they heard that they had found Guanyin.
"Have you found them all?" asked Ji Yanning.
The guard replied, "There is a lot of official silver hidden in the cellar, and it has not yet been settled, so I don't know how much it is." ”
He explained the matter in detail again, The Zhuangzi was relatively remote, and the officers and soldiers searched and found nothing unusual, but just as they were about to leave, a subordinate bumped into a soldier, and the soldier was a little angry and scolded him.
The man didn't refute it, and kept his head down.
Seeing his subordinates like this, the soldier didn't want to embarrass him, so let him apologize and forget it.
Where did I think that the subordinate was a mute and couldn't speak at all.
The steward came over to play the round, but the two guards sent by Ji Yanning found something slightly abnormal, except for the two stewards, the people in the entire Zhuangzi seemed to be dumb.
Sensing that something was wrong, and seeing that the two stewards seemed to be a little panicked, they began to check again, and found a secret cellar.
The steward saw that they had found the cellar and was about to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, but the soldiers were caught one by one, and only then did they find dozens of boxes of official silver hidden inside.
Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che and said with a smile: "This time the case is really solved, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Xuan for making another great contribution." ”
Rong Che glanced at Ji Yanning and said, "Where is my credit?"
If there was no Ji Yanning, how could he have investigated the case to this point.
Ji Yanning chuckled: "In any case, this case was indeed solved by your hands, not to mention that now that the official money has been recovered, after returning to Chang'an, the emperor will inevitably reward you, and when the time comes, whether it is the second prince or the fourth prince, I am afraid that he will spare no effort to win you over." ”
Rong Che said: "I can explain the process of this case, after all, the credit is yours." ”
Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "This kind of credit is the icing on the cake for you, but for me, it is very likely to be a fatal blade." ”
She has not disclosed her identity since she came to Qianzhou, because she doesn't want others to know that she is also in this matter.
Rong Che's eyes moved slightly, he knew what Ji Yanning was worried about.
Ji Yanning looked up at the guards and said, "Since He Zhang has found the location of the official silver, let people transport it back to the city." ”
The guard on the side said, "There is a bit of official silver hidden in the cellar now, so Lord He plans to count it to the people and then bring it back." ”
Rong Che listened to the guard's words and said, "I'll go over and take a look now." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, Rong Che is the examiner of this case, and now that he has found the place where the official bank is located, he naturally wants to go over.
Before he had time to rest, Rong Che went out again after a hurried lunch.
Just looking at the back of Rong Che leaving, Ji Yanning's eyelids couldn't help but jump.
She rubbed her eyes, could it be because she hadn't slept well in the past two days?
She looked up at the sky, and the weather, which had been sunny two days before, was now getting a little cooler.
There are many spring thunderstorms in Qianzhou, although I am used to it, but I am still a little bored.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Pearl looked at Ji Yanning's expression and asked with concern.
Ji Yanning stood at the door, sighed lightly, and said, "It seems to be raining again." ”
Pearl also looked up, saw the dark clouds in the sky, and said, "Miss, don't worry, when they went out just now, they brought an umbrella." The weather in Qianzhou is really strange, there are so many thunderstorms in spring, it's really troublesome. ”
"I'm not worried about that. Ji Yanning said, "I always feel a little uneasy. ”
Pearl comforted: "Miss, don't worry, it's just raining." ”
Ji Yanning was silent.
"It's windy outside, so Miss better go back to the house and rest first." Pearl said to Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning bowed, turned around and walked into the inner room.
