The hour has passed, and the morning has dispersed.

When the inner prison guards counted the number of prisoners, they finally discovered the anomaly.

Within three moments, all the people in Jinling were on alert, and all the passes in the city were strictly inspected (pass passes), and the streets were also full of officers and soldiers looking for people, and there was a crisis for a while.

Xiao Yuehuai and the others took a step ahead of the official mansion and settled in Qianchun Tower, taking in the scenery on the street. After they covered up their tracks and truly stabilized, Qin E had the strength to turn over the doubts in her heart and ask.

"Ah Huai..."

"What is the evidence of my grandfather's innocence? And how do you make sure that the real culprit behind the scenes will be caught in the net? ”

Xiao Yuehuai leaned on the side of the Zhu Railing, staring at the patrolmen looking around outside the window, and said to herself: "My grandfather's private property, the view is really good. ”

"Ah Huai?"

Qin E leaned over and patted her on the shoulder: "What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" ”

Xiao Yuehuai turned his head to look at her, closed the window, sat down on the futon placed on the side, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, wait for Ah Lu to come back first." I will know everything. ”

She raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Qin E, smiled slightly, and handed it forward.

Qin E didn't know what she was hiding, she took the teacup and was about to take a sip, when the carved door of the wing room was just right in time, squeaked, and was gently pushed open from the outside.

Ah Lu lifted the curtain covering the outside of the warm pavilion and quickened his steps into the inner room.

"How?"

"According to your instructions, those vegetable and fruit farmers who are familiar with the Kang family have brought in a few pages of copied accounts."

Qin E was listening to their conversation, and said in confusion: "What are you talking about?" Kangfu? Could it be the mansion of Kang Rongqi, the head of the household? What do you want Aru to do there? ”

"Naturally, I want to see if the real greedy people behind this case can still sit still?"

Xiao Yuehuai leaned forward, took out the wooden box held in his sleeve, put it in front of Qin E, and said, "Here, there is the confession of the bookkeeper who sued your grandfather. According to the confession, the person who really accepted bribes from officials in various places was Kang Rongqi. There is also a dark account attached. ”

"But... The bookkeeper has hanged himself, and this confession and account book have lost half of their credibility, and even if they are handed over to the government, they will not immediately confirm your grandfather's innocence. Therefore—"

Qin E lifted the lid of the wooden box, listened to her explanation, and looked at the account book and confession in her hand, and her heart became more and more uneasy: "So you want Kang Rongqi to expose his crimes and wash away the grievances of my house?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Yuehuai said frankly: "Although I don't know why the palace delayed until now to find out that you are missing, the news of your escape from prison has spread. The person who went to assassinate you last night didn't succeed, and Kang Rongqi must have been terrified when he learned about it. ”

"It's just... Things are already at a critical juncture, and he may not be in a mess because of this. So I asked Ah Lu to find some way, and through the family of Kang Mansion, I sent some news to Kang Rongqi's ears. ”

Qin E suddenly came to her senses, and only then did she understand what Alu had done with Yan Siniang: "You revealed the theft of the secret account to the Kang family?" ”

Xiao Yuehuai: "Exactly." I only got this evidence last night, and I'm afraid his men won't have time to tell me about it. From the fact that you escaped from prison to the loss of the hidden account, it is enough to make Kang Rongqi sit on pins and needles and expose his flaws. ”

Qin E pondered for a while, shook his head again and again, and said: "But all the stolen silver he received from all over the country was hidden in my grandfather's study for no reason, and the day the criminal department seized it, the silver was taken away by the officials. ”

"On the surface, it really has nothing to do with my grandfather. Kang Rongqi does not need to sell the stolen goods at all, and he can get rid of it cleanly. As you said, this secret account and confession alone can't move the Kang Mansion, and you still release this news... What's the use? ”

Xiao Yuehuai smiled lightly: "Round, the key to the problem is not the stolen silver, but the person who hid the silver in your grandfather's study." ”

Qin E was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

Xiao Yuehuai continued: "I thought that it must have been a lawsuit against your grandfather's bookkeeper who hid the stolen silver in the Qin Mansion. But after thinking about it carefully, the Criminal Department seized no less than twenty boxes of silver, such a terrifying amount, how could he completely hide it from the Qin Mansion and transport the stolen silver into the study room with many guards? ”

"If Qin Ge Lao is unaware and can let the Criminal Department find out the stolen silver, there is only one way."

When she paused, Qin E immediately reacted: "Do you think... Is there something wrong with the Criminal Department? ”

Xiao Yuehuai bowed slightly, and reached out to hold Qin E's cold palm: "The criminal department came to raid the Qin Mansion, and it happened to be Min Wudu, who had a disagreement with your third uncle. On the night when the lights were turned off in the Qin Mansion, Min Wufu ordered people to start a search from the westernmost corner of the mansion, deliberately making the torturers stay up all night, and only searched the old study of Qin Pavilion at dawn. During this time, if he wanted to do something, it would be easy. ”

"Min is unprovoked..."

Qin E read this person's name, and her calm eyes secretly forbeared.

Her third uncle, Qin Shengxuan, was the secretary of the Criminal Department before he was dismissed, and he did have unwarranted political disagreements with Min who was the right attendant, and he was quite disagreeable, and this person was extremely insidious, if he took revenge for personal gain, it was really possible.

Qin E: "So, he arranged for a team of officials to raid and transport twenty boxes of stolen silver into my grandfather's study in the middle of the night?" ”

Soon she denied it: "But my third uncle has always looked down on him, and most of the affairs of the criminal department are handed over to Qi Yue, the left attendant, to do, and Min Wutuno does not have many subordinates who obey his orders." What's more, if he is not careful, he will let the officials seize the handle, how dare he use the personnel registered in the government? ”

Xiao Yuehuai: "Round, think about it carefully, Kang Rongqi, as the left waiter of the household department, is in charge of such a deep errand as salt affairs, so naturally there is a group of bandits without a roster in hand, isn't it easy to transfer some people for Min to drive for no reason?" ”

Qin E suddenly said brightly: "So... Once Kang Rongqi knew about the theft of the secret account and the news that I had escaped from prison, he would take it for granted that the copied account pages brought in by the vegetable and fruit farmers were secretly made by me. ”

"He is afraid of the evidence in my hand, and thinks that I don't have any greater help, so he will take such a risk to threaten him, so in order to prevent me from really finding clues in these bandits who carry silver, I will definitely let them leave Jinling for a while?"

Xiao Yuehuai: "Exactly. This evening, Kang Rongqi will inform his bandit leaders that they will not be able to arrange for ships to leave the port until tomorrow at the earliest, and if my cousin sets up an ambush at the docks, he will definitely be able to capture them. If they are taken away quietly and interrogated day and night, some empirical evidence will be found, and by that time, Qin Ge Lao's case will not be an iron bucket. ”

Qin E frowned: "It's just that it is really difficult to wait from today until tomorrow night." ”

"Curly," Xiao Yuehuai grabbed her and said with a solemn face, "I'll keep an eye on the Kang family's side, there is still a matter that you need to solve personally." ”

Qin E raised her eyes to look at her, and read her eyes in the next second: "Do you want to say Qingzhou Disaster Relief Silver?" ”
