Master Fang carefully looked at the person on the hospital bed, and suddenly his eyes turned red.

"When the Zheng family was wiped out, I thought that no one was spared, but I didn't expect Zheng Guang to be alive."

This is Brother Zheng's only descendant.

was also a high-spirited teenager at the beginning, how could he be tortured like this.

"Zheng Guang, how did you survive, it's been so long, I don't think anyone can know except him, Lord Fang, can you show me the case file now?"

Master Fang wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and pulled out a roll of paper from his cuff.

"This is copied by this official, the case file of the Jiangbei corruption case, you must burn it after you read it."

Lu Qingrong naturally knew that the confidential documents of the imperial court could not be leaked, so he agreed.

The case records the beginning and end of the incident, as well as the process of the imperial investigation, and the confessions of some people.

It turned out that the imperial court had arrested a few bandits who had robbed the imperial court of disaster relief silver, and they were the ones who confessed Zheng Shilang and Chu Shilang.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor ordered the whole house to be beheaded.

There are many officials involved in the Criminal Department, but Lu Qingrong found that the original Secretary of the Criminal Department was Prime Minister Li Cheng.

When Prime Minister Li Cheng first entered the court, he first became a young secretary of Guanglu Temple.

With the emperor's succession to the throne, he rose step by step, from Guanglu Temple to Liubu, and then became the prime minister.

It's just that Lu Qingrong didn't expect that the image here turned out to be from the First Criminal Department.

Jiangbei's case was also supervised by him, and it only took ten days to find out the original story.

And it's so well organized that people can't fault the slightest mistake.

"Lord Fang, why isn't it written on it where the disaster relief silver has gone?"

Lord Fang's gaze moved from Zheng Guang's body to Lu Qingrong's body, "The imperial court didn't find the lost silver taels at the beginning, if it could be found, there would be no riot in Jiangbei." ”

"But it is clearly written in this dossier that the imperial court arrested a few bandits who robbed the silver taels for disaster relief in the first place, and they don't know where the silver taels ended up?"

"At the beginning, the imperial court did arrest a few bandits, but after they confessed to Zheng Shilang and Chu Shilang, it didn't take long for them to commit suicide in prison, and the reason why I suspect that there is something strange about this case is precisely because of the death of these people."

"These people died too strangely, the bodies of those who died that night were disposed of, and they were burned, it stands to reason that such a felon, who is locked up in the criminal department, will not dispose of the bodies so quickly, even if they are dealt with overnight, it will only pull them into mass graves."

"There has never been an example of burning a corpse, but I am humble and light, several waiters have been implicated one after another, and I am the only one left in the criminal department, in order to protect the safety of myself and my family, I can only tend to the flames and survive, and I am ashamed."

"Lord Fang, you have done a very good job, in that situation, it is the best decision to protect your life, otherwise who will overturn the case today?"

Master Fang has been guilty of this matter for decades.

Now that I found out that it was strange, I suddenly felt that it was not a taste, especially after seeing Zheng Guang.

is both emotional and indebted, if he could be careful and investigate this case, maybe he could find clues to help Zheng Guang's family.

"Lord Fang, there was a riot in Jiangbei at the beginning, and the court must quickly resolve this matter in a short period of time, otherwise it will not be able to resent, even if you can find the clues at the beginning, according to the emperor's temperament, I am afraid that it will be suppressed."

"So no matter what you do, there will be no change in this case at the beginning, the emperor just needs an excuse and reason to explain to the people, they don't care about the truth of the matter, but after so many years, it's time to overturn the case."

Lord Fang was comforted by Lu Qingrong, and suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart.

Now that he thinks about it, what if he can find some evidence?

As the Son of Heaven said, what the Son of Heaven wants is only the result of an explanation to the people, and the truth of the matter is not within their consideration.

If he had spoken at that time, maybe he would have been implicated, so who would have overturned the case?

Lu Qingrong read the case file three times.

In addition to the confessions of the bandits who confessed at the beginning, there is also a strange way of disposing of the corpses of these bandits.

It looks like a corpse has been destroyed.

Maybe the bandits who gave the confession did not die, but escaped through the corpse.

However, it was impossible to rob such a large batch of silver taels at the beginning, and it was impossible not to leave any traces.

The most suspicious is Prime Minister Li Cheng, that is, Li Shangshu at the beginning.

Li Yantang also mentioned that this case is related to Li Shangshu.

If only the correlation could be found.

Just want to find out where to start with this case?

The only witness, Zheng Guang, was in a coma at this time, and he didn't know what Zheng Guang knew, so he couldn't pin all his hopes on Zheng Guang.

Normal reasoning doesn't work, so you have to use elimination.

Who can take away this taels?

Such a large batch of bright lights, there must have been officers and soldiers to escort them at the beginning, if they were robbed unknowingly, it should be a combination of inside and outside.

Usually these silver pairs are specially marked, and there are barricades along the way.

Even if these people robbed the silver taels, it was definitely not Lu Qingrong's business to transport them away.

So how did they transport the silver taels?

There is only one official road in Zhangzhou.

After successfully robbing the silver two, if you want to get these silver two out of Zhangzhou, you can only go through the official road, and if you want to pass the official road, you need to investigate.

"Fang Shangshu, who doesn't need to be interrogated when passing through the checkpoint?"

"It all needs to be checked, even if it is a dart board, when it passes through the level, it must be opened to be checked before it can be released."

"Isn't there anyone who doesn't need to be checked at all? Isn't there a special case? ”

This stumped Fang Shangshu.

"Really, the magistrate often has rare treasures to pay tribute, if you want to pass the checkpoint without being inspected, as long as there is a special road guide issued by the local management, the road is unimpeded, and there is no need to check."

"Do you suspect that those people transported the silver taels from Zhangzhou in this way?"

"I have investigated this place in Zhangzhou before, and if I want to go to other places through Zhangzhou, there is only one official road, and other waterways and mountain roads will not work, so those people can only take the official road if they want to transport the silver taels."

"If you want to go from the official road, you will definitely go through an inventory, 300,000 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, it takes a lot of boxes to pack, and it is very conspicuous, so if you want to pass through the level smoothly, you must have a way to clear the customs."
