Volume 1: Jun Zuo Shou Songhe [Chapter 19] Conspiracy
Qin E expected that there would be an irreconcilable conflict between the princess and the Lu family, but she never thought that it would be such a fact.
She suddenly regretted the question, and silently silenced her voice.
Xiao Yuehuai saw that she was cramped, so she said softly and comfortingly: "Excuse me, I have been pressing these things in my heart and have nowhere to complain, but I am fortunate to have you today." It's just that the people in the Lu family are insidious and vicious, and the Lu family's power is rock-solid and deep-rooted. ”
"I originally wanted to track it down alone, and I didn't want to implicate the Qin family, but you are too smart to find out without me revealing it."
Qin E: "I don't like to hear what you say." What does it mean to be unwilling to implicate the Qin family? ”
"The Lu family did not hesitate when they designed to frame my grandfather and father. Our Qin family has no grievances with their Lu family, but they are framed like this, how can I endure this breath? ”
Xiao Yuehuai's face was worried: "I'm just afraid of your temperament." Once you know who is behind these two cases, you will bite the bullet and continue to investigate. Lu Pingsheng is a multi-faceted, sensitive and vigilant person. ”
"If he senses that you are tracking down the Lu Clan, he will inevitably use even more vicious tactics to trap the Qin Clan. The Qin family has accumulated meritorious deeds and supreme glory, and if you are not careful, they will all be overturned. Such a price... It's too big. ”
"I don't want to see that happen."
After that, she took a few steps forward and reached out to clasp Qin E's palm, and gently persuaded: "Curly." If you believe me, don't go any deeper, and guard your Qin clan well. As for the Lu family, I swear to you that I will let them get the punishment they deserve. ”
Qin E shook her head firmly and said, "I believe in you, but I don't want to hide behind you and do nothing." ”
"You know me, even if you force me to promise not to meddle in this matter now, I will still quietly investigate in the future."
"I care more about the lives of my relatives than you do, and I will act carefully. If you have the help of my Qin clan, it will only be more convenient in the future, why don't we deal with it together? It's better than going it alone. ”
Xiao Yuehuai knew that once Qin E made up her mind, it would be even more difficult to change it. She knew that tonight, even if she said that she would not be able to persuade her, she simply stopped obstructing it:
"Okay. You have said it all, and if I persuade again, I will belittle the friendship between us. ”
Qin E was relieved.
Xiao Yuehuai slowly retracted her gaze and refocused her thoughts on the current situation: "Lu Pingsheng's move today has deceived everyone, which is really unexpected. ”
"But what I can't figure out is that Jinling's transmission mechanism is sensitive, even if half of the soldiers are not in the city, once such a shocking act as breaking into prison and robbing silver and killing people is done, the important people in the city will know about it, regardless of their official position."
Just like Fang Cai, after the Criminal Department and Dali Temple heard the news, they immediately blocked the whole city, laid a net, remade the documents, and strictly investigated the people who came and went. Even if this gang of thieves has the ability to evade the search, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the capital. ”
As a result, the money they had grabbed could not be shipped out. Neither can sell stolen goods... The Criminal Department and Dali Temple followed the clues to investigate, and it was only a matter of time before they found their den. This is undoubtedly self-defeating. ”
"The Lu family has other purposes behind this dangerous move, or they have other ways to launder this stolen silver."
Qin E lowered her head and gently rubbed her chin with her fingers: "That's true." That's where I wondered. What is the purpose of Lu Jiabing's risky moves? ”
The girls sat down on the couch facing each other, carefully considering the whole process of the bandits' actions.
After a while, Qin E frowned and said, "After Kang Rongqi and Min confessed to stealing silver for no reason, the Criminal Department confiscated all the family property in the hands of the two to settle the case. According to the confession of the housekeeper of Kangfu, Kang Rongqi also has a Bofang in private. ”
Because officials are not allowed to gamble, this Kang Shilang used the name of Qilixiang as a ransom geisha, and secretly built it under the disguise of the surface, relying on Bofang to make huge profits. When the official went to inspect it according to the system, he learned that this Bofang had been sold to others as early as three days ago. ”
"Once it has been sold, it no longer belongs to Kang Rongqi's industry, and the seizure will be over. After the envoys visited, they learned that the new owner of this workshop was a small supervisor called Lianqi in the glazed tile factory in the northern suburbs. ”
"Northern suburbs glaze factory?" Xiao Yuehuai grasped the point, "Little overseer, how can you take down a Bofang?" Do you suspect that there is another financier behind this person? ”
Qin E nodded, and then mentioned: "Money laundering in gambling houses is the most hidden. ”
As soon as these words came out, the layers of fog were revealed.
Xiao Yuehuai suddenly brightened: "It turns out that the Lu family fought with this idea. Bofang's account books are the most messy, even if they are sorted out, they can do something from it, and the government can't see it, so they can replace the old silver with the hands of gamblers. In this way, there must be a silver room under the casino. ”
Qin E lowered her eyes: "It's just one point, I haven't understood it yet." Since the Lu family has such a secret place to wash silver, why did they have to transport the silver to Zhuying Mountain for re-smelting after stealing the silver in the first place? ”
Xiao Yuehuai curled his lips and said: "Wrap up, after all, it is 300,000 taels of silver, it is not easy to steal it from the escort officials, and they brought the silver all the way from Huaishui back to the suburbs of Beijing, after all the hardships, it is natural to take a prudent policy." ”
"Jinling City is heavily guarded, how can such a large sum of money be transported into the city and sent to the gambling house under the cover of people's eyes? Moreover... I guess the Lu family has relied on Kang Rongqi to launder a lot of stolen money over the years, how could they be willing to take such a good place to risk? ”
"Judging from the situation at that time, the best place to melt silver is naturally Zhuying Mountain."
This analysis brought another question while all the doubts in Qin E's heart.
Xiao Yuehuai finished speaking, pondered what she said, and suddenly noticed something strange: Since this gambling house is a treasure of feng shui for washing silver, then today... Why did Lu Pingsheng suddenly make a dangerous move and expose him?
Kang Rongqi was imprisoned, and this shop had already been pawned, even if it was targeted by the government, no one would have thought that Bochang would dare to set up a private silver melting room. As long as the limelight of the silver theft case has passed, this workshop is still a place of ointment.
Thinking about it so far, Xiao Yuehuai remembered another doubt-
Why is the owner of the gambling house a small supervisor of the glazed tile factory under the Ministry of Industry?
Ministry of Industry... Su Shaoqi..
After some association, she sweated coldly, and couldn't help jumping off the couch.
Her sudden move startled Qin E: "What are you doing?" Scares me? ”
Xiao Yuehuai turned sideways, held the lady's shoulder, and her face was slightly pale: "Woo, I can't stay in your mansion." I need to go back to the General's Mansion and do something. ”
"You tell Qi Yue to be optimistic about the group of kidnappers captured from Nanqiu, and don't let them die."
With that, she quickly turned to leave.
Qin E didn't have time to stop her, so she shouted eagerly: "Ah Huai! What exactly did you come up with? ”
The wooden door creaked in the wind, and the princess was long gone in front of the courtroom.
