The storytelling was loud, mixed with the applause and admiration of the visitors, Wen Qiyu's eyes fell on the storyteller on the stage, but he asked Qi Changrong: "Brother Ju'an, do you know what Miss Xie has been doing recently?" The family went to her stall several times to buy meat, but there was no trace of her. ”

Qi Changrong's expression was gloomy, and he said: "I heard that Miss Xie worshiped a master, and she is now learning art with that master, if Brother Qiyu is worried, you might as well go and take a look tomorrow, at that time, presumably Miss Xie will go back." ”

"Apprenticeship?" A trace of doubt flashed between Wen Qiyu's eyebrows, and he asked hesitantly, "That person, is it also a fake?" ”

"It's not." Qi Changrong shook his head and smiled, it seems that Xie Meng's family background is indeed unforgettable: "It is an old man, he thinks that Miss Xie has good talent and is suitable to inherit his mantle, but that person is withdrawn and does not like to associate with people, and it is reasonable that you don't know." ”

So, he unscrupulously brought people back and became his apprentices.

Wen Qiyu suddenly realized: "I see. ”

Since he found out that Xie Meng was gone, he was still very worried in his heart, for fear that her secret investigation of what happened ten years ago would be exposed and lead to death, and maybe he would be abandoned in the wilderness.

But when he asked today, he realized that the worries of the previous days were like a joke, and other girls had their own experiences.

After sitting for a while, seeing that the time was almost the same, Wen Qiyu got up and said goodbye.

Qi Changrong didn't stay, and after a while, she left from the tea shop.

Walking to the dark alley, she raised her hand to summon the secret guard, and handed over the extremely important list: "Extremely hand-over to the general, there must be no mistake." ”

The Dark Guard whispered, turned and disappeared into the alley.

Ji Fang was quite curious: "Why doesn't Your Highness go to the Junfu in person?" ”

In his eyes, the prince has a very good personal relationship with the general, and since things are important, of course, it is safer to go by himself.

Qi Changrong frowned when he heard this, and warned lightly: "Ji Fang, you have overstepped the rules." ”

Her voice was deep and distinctly angry.

Ji Fang woke up like a dream, realized the identity of this person, and quickly knelt down in the alley, sweating profusely and pleading guilty.

Recently, His Royal Highness was too kind, so that he ignored his dignity and lost his sense of proportion for a while.

The prince of the East Palace does not need anyone to beak him, even if he asks, he should not ask.

"You go back to the palace to reflect on it, and you must not leave the East Palace until you think it clearly."

Ji Fang received the order and did not dare to make another attempt.

When Qi Changrong was silent, he stood up and bowed back.

He knew that he had accidentally asked His Highness about the pain point, and this matter would definitely be inseparable from the general.

When he left, there was only one person left in the alley.

Qi Changrong looked up at the boundless sky, pulled his lips and smiled slightly.

Why didn't she go herself?

Of course, there is a reason, since that day of dispute, she should still be in disappointment and anger, how can she easily show favor to anyone?

The East Palace and the Junfu share the same news, and Zhou Shiren is the essence of the Junfu, so he will definitely find ways to find out her joy and anger.

She was angry, but Zhou Shiren was frightened, so she would often mention it in front of Junchen.

It's just once or twice, but if there are too many times, even if your mind is as firm as Junchen, you will wonder what went wrong.

If she can't make Junchen reflect on her mistakes this time, she will have the 'deep thoughts' that the general said.

As Qi Changrong expected, after receiving the list, Zhou Shiren was extremely uneasy, and dared to try to get the news from the mouth of the secret guard of the East Palace: "Excuse me, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to deliver it in person?" ”

The Dark Guard gave him an inexplicable look in return.

The master does things, where is it their turn to worry about these slaves? Just do what you are told.

Under the naked gaze of the dark guard, Zhou Shiren's face was slightly red, and then he covered his mouth and coughed, and said, "Go back and tell Your Highness that we will do a good job in this matter, please rest assured." ”

Hearing this, hearing that Zhou Shiren finally gave the answer he wanted, the dark guard nodded slightly, and then quietly disappeared from the back door.

The secret guard walked so simply, Zhou Shiren felt a cool breeze blowing in his heart, and he only felt angry.

He looked at the culprit Jun Chen with resentment: "It's all the general's fault, and the prince is reluctant to go to the door of the king's house now." ”

"What's the matter with General Sekimoto?" Jun Chen looked back at the past slowly, and asked knowingly.

"If it weren't for the general's arrogance, how could this have happened!" Zhou Shiren almost vomited blood in anger and threw Junchen a look that he understood.

"Oh." Jun Chen responded slowly, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, refusing Zhou Shiren's eye contact signal.

Zhou Shiren sighed, angry at him, and mourned that he was pretending to be stupid.

It was really his misfortune to have such a disobedient master.

On the same day, the second-instance record of the Criminal Department was truthfully presented in the imperial study and entered the eyes of Emperor Jin An.

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Emperor Jin An was furious, and Long Yan was furious: "Check!" This matter must be investigated! I want to see who dares to deceive under the nose of the Son of Heaven! After finding out, there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

If the 'beating of the drum to avenge the grievances' is false, only one person will die.

If it is true, there are hundreds or even more people involved.

Ye Quan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead in the hall, knowing that Emperor Jin'an's anger was not aimed at him, he still felt unbearable at this time.

Ye Quan silently glanced at the prince of the East Palace, who was hanging high and had nothing to do with him, he deliberately chose His Royal Highness the prince to be there when he was there, just to have someone to accompany him to extinguish the fire when Emperor Jin An was angry.

After all, when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed......

But right now, Donggong is deliberately pretending to be stupid!

Ye Quan was sad and angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it openly, and almost held himself breathless.

At this moment, he heard the voice of Emperor Jin An:

"Ye Quan."

"The minister is here."

"I order you to devote the strength of the Punishment Department and draw up a holy decree, and the surrounding government offices in Tanzhou will listen to you, and you must investigate this matter clearly, and there must be no falsehood."

Ye Quanhu's body was shocked, and he hurriedly leaned over and kowtowed: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

With the Holy Decree, some things will be much simpler, at least there will be no need to worry about unnecessary resistance in the process of investigation.

Sending Ye Quan away, Emperor Jin An's anger did not subside, and when he turned his head to see the scene of Qi Changrong yawning, he couldn't help but be angry again, and called in a deep voice: "Prince!" ”

Qi Changrong arched his hand: "Erchen is here." ”

When he replied, Qi Changrong's voice was indifferent, and he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, not looking behind the royal table.

Seeing her like this, Emperor Jin An was slightly annoyed in his heart, if it weren't for the prince of the East Palace standing in front of him, the heir of the country in the future, he would have already thrown the jade seal on her head to vent his anger.

When such a big incident happened in the DPRK and China, officials evaded taxes and evaded taxes, so as to enrich their own pockets, and also embezzled the consolation money of the soldiers, causing them to die tragically at home, which is really hateful!

The matter is so sensational that even the lord of his own country feels a chill in his heart when he hears it, and he is eager to immediately bring the culprit to justice in order to set an example, and then the people will be angry and avenge the people's grievances.

But there is one more hateful person than Pu Ting at the moment, and that is the prince standing in front of him!

Shouldn't she be furious in the face of this? Shouldn't you want to cut Puting with a thousand cuts?

How can it be so calm!

"You participated in the second trial, what do you think about this matter?"

"Opinion?" Qi Changrong's voice was very low, and he asked knowingly: "At the moment, the matter is not conclusive, and I don't know if it's true or not, so it's a little early to talk about opinions at this time." ”

In an instant, Emperor Jin An's gaze was more than a little sharper.

At this point, all the evidence at the moment points to Pu Ting, there is a clear record in the blood book, to know the truth is actually very simple, just need to find all the people above, and then interrogate one by one to reach a conclusion.

In other words, Puting's crime is true.

The prince was invited to listen, and after listening to all the complaints of the man, he thought that the prince would be indignant for the man, and even angry on the spot.

However, to Emperor Jin An's surprise, the prince's face was calm at this time, as if this sudden 'beating the drum to avenge grievances' official corruption case did not bring her any throbbing.

That kind of peace and openness almost made Emperor Jin An think that Pu Ting was really framed, and there was a hidden secret in it.

However, this feeling was only for a short moment, and Emperor Jin An quickly confirmed that his judgment was not wrong, because the prince's eyes were full of deep meaning.

Obviously, her thoughts did not match what she said at all.

Emperor Jin An retracted his sharp gaze and asked lightly, "Does the prince think Pu Ting is innocent?" ”

"Not really." Qi Changrong shook his head, and his voice became calmer and calmer: "It's just that I am disappointed in my heart, thinking that Pu Ting is in a high position and enjoys the benefits of the court, but he has the trust of his father and the emperor, and I don't want to talk about him." ”

Emperor Jin An raised his eyebrows, and was about to be angry.

Who knew that Qi Changrong's voice changed, and he said: "But since it was my father who asked the question, the son naturally couldn't help but answer." ”

"Prince, let's talk about it first."

Qi Changrong's cheeks tensed slightly: "Erchen thinks that compared with exploring whether Pu Ting is guilty, my father should pay more attention to the whereabouts of the one percent of the Tanzhou tax silver taels, and millions of taels of silver cannot disappear out of thin air." ”

Emperor Jin Anhuang squinted slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table rhythmically, making a knocking sound, which hit the bottom of people's hearts.

Obviously, he agreed with Qi Changrong that the sum of one million taels of silver was enough to do too many things.

"With Pu Ting's appetite, he can't eat and doesn't dare to eat this dirty silver, but a long time has passed, and it must not be easy to check the whereabouts of this silver again, but if he doesn't check, wouldn't he let those people's wolf ambitions go?"

"The only way to do this now is to interrogate Pu Ting, let him tell him where the money was used, or where it was stored, and if he can find it, he can reduce his criminal law a little, and use this as an inducement to achieve his goal."

Emperor Jin An glanced at her and said coldly: "Since Pu Ting is greedy, how can you be sure that he has no tricks, if he doesn't say it, what can you do?" ”

Qi Changrong looked back at him indifferently: "Know it with affection, move it with reason." If he is not interested, the criminal department is not a decoration, Ye Shangshu naturally has a way to make him speak, and what Erchen is afraid of is ......"

"What is the prince worried about?"

"I'm afraid that Pu Ting won't have a chance to speak."

In these years, there are too many people who have died for no reason.
