On the twenty-seventh day of the first month, the day before the six princes were killed.

Jiang He came to the door, tremblingly handed her a burden, and explained the cause and effect to her.

Things have to start with the queen mother's golden jade hairpin.

On the birthday of the Queen Mother a year ago, Zhao Chen retrieved the hairpin from Songzhuzhai and learned that someone had sold it a year ago.

At that time, she asked the shopkeeper of Songzhuzhai to hand over the portrait to Jiang Hetong, so that Shuntianfu could track down the person who entered the palace and committed theft.

After several rounds of tossing and turning, Shuntianfu went all the way to the suspected thief's recent whereabouts from the person who sold the stolen goods.

But people didn't catch it and didn't say anything, but they found something terrible.

Two counterfeit official silver tickets.

Except for one corner that is obviously different, the rest of the place is the same as the real one-

Even if Emperor Chu has strictly ordered that once discovered, there will be no forgiveness for killing, but still can't stop those who dare to take risks.

However, the official silver bills are different, not only are they strictly controlled, but they are all circulated in the official money houses controlled by the household department... From the material of the paper to the copper plate of the Chu Emperor's book, none of them can be imitated by the people.

In fact, fake silver tickets are not stolen from ordinary people's homes.

There was a yellow booklet where the thief stayed, which was full of when and where the stolen goods had been stolen in the past six months, including the provenance of the two fake silver tickets.

At the beginning of the first month, the secret room on the Liang Xu's Mansion of the Ministry of War!

There are obvious flaws in the fake silver bills, and it is impossible to tell if they are fake, let alone exchange them for cash at the official bank.

She and Jiang Hetong guessed for most of the day before they roughly determined the purpose of the fake silver ticket-

Guards steal from themselves.

Fake silver bills are sealed in the treasury of the official money bank, and the same amount of cash is set out, and when the imperial court audits the accounts every year, as long as the number of silver bills in the treasury can be reconciled, it will naturally be able to fool the past.

However, in order to be foolproof, it is only possible to manage and check the household department of the official money bank.

But if this is the case, the fake silver ticket will inevitably be tightly sealed, and how can it appear in the secret room on the Liang Xu Mansion.

At that time, Zhao Chen couldn't figure it out, and felt that no matter what the household department had and why Liang Xu knew about it, it had nothing to do with her.

So she only told Jiang Hetong to keep it secret, and kept the pile of stolen goods in her own...

Until the six princes were shot in the court, the most suspicious of the suspects was the fourth prince.

When she carefully counted all the forces under the command of the fourth prince and calculated the possibility of him attacking.

Tobe Shangshu Jia Fu reappeared in her attention.

As Meng Yong said, Jia Fu was also a member of the Yanque Lake Palace back then...

That is, when she was just suspicious, Liang Xu and others brought troops to her house, Cai Wen fled to Jia Fu, and kidnapped his son-

If the coincidences are connected, it is not called a coincidence, and eight points may be enough for her to take action.

——

Zhao Chen half-got up and took out two wooden ruyi from the side of the bed.

The so-called credentials of the Celestial Pavilion.

One was given to her by Meng Yong, while the other was left by the thief who stole the fake silver ticket.

In other words, this audacious thief is not ordinary, he is still a thief who has been recognized by Ling Xiao Pavilion!

"Zhang San, the jade gentleman on the beam...", she smiled and lightly read the words engraved on Ruyi, "Zhang San, what a good name." ”

"Your Highness?" Outside, Yingchun knocked on the door a few times, and walked in after getting a signal: "Liang Xu is gone, and his subordinates secretly followed him to the Shangshu Mansion next door, but they just entered the dark room as soon as they saw their faces, and their subordinates couldn't find out anything..."

Zhao Chen waved his hand absently and said with a smile: "What else do you think they can say-"

………

In the dark room of the Shoshu Mansion of the Ministry of Households.

"What are you doing here with me? I'm afraid I'm not eye-catching enough? Jia Fu asked coldly.

Liang Xu said: "I really didn't expect Cai Wen to be so decisive, don't worry, Yu Niang's younger brother is still in our hands, he won't do anything to Ling Gongzi, wait for him-"

"Won't it be good?!" Jia Fu stood up suddenly, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Wufu! You're a brainless warrior! If you hadn't asked him to kill the Six Princes, would this matter have come to this point! ”

"Master Jia, I'm all thinking about you." Liang Xu's face was expressionless, "The sixth prince saw His Royal Highness the King of Tan, this is the disaster, when you helped Li Shilin to suppress the Shizi case, I said that only the dead can stop the most..."

Jia Fu's face became even more ugly, "Enough! I want to know now, are those men in black or not? ”

"My people?" Liang Xu's tone was inexplicable, "I thought it was your person, and I thought it was your bitter ploy." ”

Jia Fu was so angry that his lips turned blue, and he was bored for a while before he recovered, gritted his teeth and said: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, not to mention that I haven't reached the end of the mountains and rivers!" ”

Liang Xu let out an "oh" and said, "After I sent the message to the other two that night, I brought someone here just in case, but I didn't expect the helper Cai Wen found to be so powerful, so they let them escape." ”

"Didn't expect that? There are so many things you didn't expect! Jia Fu looked at him coldly, "Those people broke through from the direction of your military headquarters, don't you secretly send someone to help Cai Wen sell me under the idea of being a good person, right?" ”

"Master Jia, what we did back then, we both know each other, you ordered the destruction of grain and grass, and I also did what I could, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and neither of us is much cleaner than the other."

Liang Xu paused, and said softly: "I think that if something happens to you, you will definitely not let me have a good time, even so, what good can I get from selling you?" You'd better slow down those thoughts! ”

mentioned that year, Jia Fu's suspicion decreased slightly, and he was silent for a long time, and sat back in the chair.

"You'd better be as knowledgeable as you are." The coldness in his words was even worse, "You're right, if something happens to me, you'll probably be next." ”

Liang Xu smiled: "In the same way, I also advise you, let's take care of each other." ”

"That's it!" Jia Fu saw his smile at this time, and he was embarrassed, "If you have something to say, you can't leave if you have nothing to do!" ”

Liang Xu got up and smiled and arched his hand, "Lend me 500,000 taels of silver first." ”

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Jia Fu blurted out in anger: "You and I are the one who opened the bank? ”

"Master Jia said with a smile, aren't you the one who opened the bank?" Liang Xu smiled unabatedly, "You have been in charge of the official money village for so many years, let alone 500,000 taels, even a million will not make you break your muscles and bones, right?" ”

"That's from the imperial court, not mine, besides, the Taipingwei didn't give you less than me back then, and the silver was enough for you to spend until you died, and you still care what I borrow!"

Liang Xu's voice was softer: "After doing such a thing, I didn't dare to think about anything at all, who knows when the incident will happen in a different place, and the money can't be brought into the coffin, so naturally I have to squander it as soon as possible." ”

"Don't be bored here, I don't have any money!" Jia Fu had a dark face, and he was about to leave with his sleeves flicked.

"Also, you're afraid that there is more fake money than real money-" Liang Xu stood there with a smile, "right?" Master Jia. ”
