Chapter 55: The Owner of the Silver Ticket
The little Xiangwang in his hand didn't like Chu Yiyun very much, don't say that he didn't want to look at him, he turned his head directly to find the nurse, Chu Yiheng handed over the child to the nurse and came to the study with Chu Yiyun, on the way from the front yard to the study, Chu Yiyun simply said the situation of the pension, and Chu Yiheng, who personally supervised the pension, couldn't believe Chu Yiyun's words at all: "Third brother is this true?"
"Naturally, someone testified, so I hurried over, didn't you personally supervise the pension?"
"Yes, there is a lot of the list signed and signed by the families of the casualties when they receive pensions, and there are many in the Ministry of War, and the Jia Siku in charge of this matter is also a brother-in-law with you."
"What brother-in-law? Where did the spirit rhino come from? ”
"It's the one surnamed An, Jia Ping's wife An Yuexiu is An Yuexiang's sister"
"What does this have to do with me? You go to the military department to read the copy, Li Village, Li Dasheng and Li Erniu to see if there are their names, and also, you check the whereabouts of your pension but don't make a noise first, this murder seems to be related to my palace, and then report it to the yamen of the governor's mansion when I find out."
"Okay, I'll go to the military department right away, and I'll notify you of the results."
Chu Yiyun didn't stay in the palace for a moment, and after leaving, he went straight to the direction of the governor's mansion yamen, Han Peng asked, "Is the prince going to the governor's mansion yamen?" Do you want to inform Lord Chen first?"
"Back then, because of the matter of Furong, Lord Chen was also kind to me, so I didn't have to put up a fight with him, but now Li Xudong is the key, he has too much evidence in his hands, if the pension is revealed, I am worried that he will be in danger, so I must see him immediately"
"What the prince said, it was originally just a simple murder case, but I didn't expect that so many would be implicated in the end"
Lord Chen of the Governor's Mansion Yamen is the Chen Fang who helped Chu Yiyun suppress the beating incident back then, Chen Fang is not humble or arrogant, and the reason why he suppressed this matter back then was not only because Chu Yiyun was the prince, but most importantly, he learned about the cause and effect of the incident through Furong.
Because he knew Chen Fang's personality, Chu Yiyun didn't intend to hide it from him in the matter that the pension was embezzled and the deceased was related to the Qi Palace.
After Chu Yiyun arrived at the yamen of the governor's mansion, Li Xudong immediately understood his intention, Li Xudong arranged for four people to guard outside the door and not let anyone approach, and there were only five people in the house: Chu Yiyun, Han Peng, Yang Yong, Li Xudong, and Chen Fang. Li Xudong took out a piece of white cloth from his arms, and in the white cloth were the two silver tickets with fragrance, because he was afraid that the fragrance in the silver ticket would fly over time, so Li Xudong would wrap it in white cloth to protect the evidence: "Lord Wang, please take a look"
Chu Yiyun took the silver ticket, and there was indeed a faint aroma in the silver ticket, and for Chu Yiyun, this fragrance was not unfamiliar, because Song Lingxi, hibiscus, and peony around him all used this kind of incense powder: "Do you know what kind of incense this is?" ”
"Back to the prince, this kind of incense powder is called light and elegant jasmine, which is a kind of incense powder from Babao Zhai, because the aroma is relatively light, so there are not many people who use this incense powder, and most of them are young ladies and young ladies."
"Why can the fragrant powder with a relatively light aroma penetrate the silver ticket so much?"
"In my humble opinion, this silver ticket should have been put together with the things of the daughter's family such as incense powder jewelry for a long time."
Li Xudong's words made Chu Yiyun's heart tighten, originally this taste was the same as Song Lingxi's fragrance, plus he had seen with his own eyes that Song Lingxi's monthly money was placed in the jewelry box, Song Lingxi was different from other women, she rarely bought things, and the monthly money every month was collected by Hibiscus in the jewelry box, and this time Song Lingxi left and took all the jewelry boxes with him.
Li Xudong saw that Chu Yiyun's expression was a little wrong and looked at Han Peng again, Han Peng hurriedly called back Chu Yiyun's fugue soul: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, do you think what Li Zhutou said is reasonable?" ”
"Then in Li Zhutou's opinion, is this silver ticket dyed with fragrance in the palace?"
"I think that no matter where the fragrance of the silver ticket comes from, but the owner of the silver ticket must be in Uncle Xiang's carriage, with the virtue of the bearded two brothers, they will never carry two hundred taels of silver tickets to rob, but I don't know why Uncle Xiang has been protecting this person"
Chu Yiyun said lightly: "Because the owner of the silver ticket is a murderer, and he kills people to save people, I wonder if Li Zhutou thinks that the king's words are reasonable?" ”
"What the prince said is extremely true, and he admires his duties"
"There is no need to admire, because you all know that the truth is just revealed by me, Han Peng and Yang Yong will assist you in investigating this matter in the next few days, Uncle Xiang will go to find other people in the carriage if you don't say it, I must know the truth within three days, and also, you have to send someone to protect Uncle Xiang, he is both a victim and a witness in the pension case"
Li Xudong, who had been holding back what he hadn't said, finally couldn't help but ask on the way to Li Village: "Why is the prince so nervous about the case of Xu Dabeard, I feel that he is more concerned than the pension case."
Han Peng said: "Because those two silver tickets are likely to be our princess's, our prince and the princess have a deep relationship, and now that the princess is seriously ill but is outcast, how can he not worry?" ”
Li Xudong looked at Han Peng in disbelief: "But how did I hear about His Royal Highness King Qi all these years......
"Amorous, huh?"
Han Peng and Yang Yong showed disdainful smiles at the same time, and Yang Yong said: "Do you also believe those rumors?" In fact, our prince is also a rare affectionate man in this world, it is not an exaggeration to describe our prince's friendship with the princess in the sky and the depths of the sea, about those rumors that slander our prince, he has always said that the clear person is clear, he never wants to defend himself, and he doesn't care"
"I never thought that His Royal Highness King Qi was an otherworldly person, so why did the princess leave the palace?"
"It's a long story, but the main reason is that our princess's father is Song Yi."
Li Xudong was taken aback when he heard this: "Anti-thief Song Yi? ”
Han Peng and Yang Yong didn't answer again, presumably this answer is self-evident for Li Xudong, the three of them went and returned again, and when they came to Uncle Xiang's house, they found that Uncle Xiang's house had an inexplicable extra sheep, and it was impossible to buy sheep with Uncle Xiang's situation, Li Xudong stroked the head of the lamb, this is a milk ewe, and Hu'er's mother has less milk, which should be bought to supplement Hu'er's food: "Uncle Xiang......"
Uncle Xiang came to Li Xudong's side and said unabashedly: "This sheep was bought with the money sent by Hu'er's mother and her cousin yesterday."
"Are the aunt and Hu'er Niang at home?"
"In ......."
"The two adults still have something to ask you, you can come outside with us, so as not to worry about the aunt"
"Good ......"
The three of them called Uncle Xiang outside the house and repeated yesterday's question again, but this time it was still nothing, Uncle Xiang never mentioned anything about the murderer, and finally Han Peng had no choice but to give up, Li Xudong said: "It's not too early, Uncle Xiang, let's go first, if there are people who come to ask about Dasheng recently, you must not speak to these people, you must contact me as soon as possible, I know?" ”
