Chapter 279: I'll Give You an Answer (1st Update)
Xiang Zuo immediately said: "The villain was about to explain to his wife that eight days ago, Li Huaiying, a deputy general under Cui Han, committed suicide by jumping into the river, and his suicide note was found in his room, and it was written on it...... It is all a complaint against Cui Han for privately training the army, stealing yellow robes, and having a disobedient heart, and there are people sent by His Majesty around each Jiedu envoy, and Cui Han's other deputy general Yuan Zaili immediately told His Majesty's people in Lingzhou about it, and united them to arrest Cui Han and put him in prison, and Yuan Zaili temporarily replaced Cui Hanshuo's affairs with the Jiedu envoy.
Lang Jun went over to help His Majesty find out the truth of this matter. ”
Xu Jing couldn't help frowning slightly.
If this incident is true, this Cui Han will be too much of a failure, and he was betrayed by the two lieutenants around him at the same time.
The past experience of investigating the case conveyed one thing to Xu Jing almost immediately - there is something strange about this matter.
Moreover, this involves the usurpation of the throne, Xiao Yi must be in danger when he goes on this trip, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back.
Xu Jing didn't speak for a long time, and Xiang Zuo kept kneeling without speaking.
Xu Jing came back to her senses, and couldn't help but glance at Xiang Zuo helplessly, she had often heard Zhao Jingming complain about a tendon in her left brain, she realized it, paused, and said lightly: "Get up, there is something I want to ask you." ”
He answered to the left, and then stood up, but he still stood respectfully with his head bowed.
Until, after he heard Xu Jing's words, he rarely lost his temper in his life, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Jing with a frightened expression.
He had often heard Dong Li lament that their lady's brain was extraordinary, and she would always suddenly have some startling thoughts, and those with a lower tolerance were not suitable for doing things next to her lady, and he realized it.
At this point, both sides have a deeper understanding of each other.
Half a month later, the Lingzhou Mansion.
Since coming to Lingzhou eight days ago, Xiao Yi has been busy reading the financial situation and military situation of Lingzhou and Shuozhou under Cui Han's jurisdiction in recent years, and he has hardly slept well.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in, and at the same time a clear and smiling voice sounded, "Yan Ci, if you go on like this, sooner or later, your body will be boiled down, people, you still have to learn to combine work and rest." ”
But it is the son of Liang Guogong - Zhao Jingxuan.
Xiao Yi glanced up at him, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Shizi." ”
"It's all said, call me a word, Changming is, you and my brother have always had a good relationship, and the two of us are not bad."
Zhao Jingxuan walked over, looked at the scroll in Xiao Yi's hand, put away the smile on his face, and said, "Our people have almost turned over Lingzhou and Shuozhou several times, but they still haven't found Cui Han." Most likely, he has fled these two states.
Unexpectedly, we came two days late, and this guy actually escaped from prison. ”
Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, it's all because I insisted on staying for three more days......"
"What apologies? That guy has the idea of escaping from prison, not to mention that this Lingzhou is his realm in the end, I don't know how many of his people are in it, the so-called strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, even if we came before he escaped from prison, he should run or run. ”
Zhao Jingxuan raised his hand indifferently and said: "Now, finding a way to find out his location is the most important thing, originally he was only suspected of rebellion, and when he escaped from prison like this, it was like he had pronounced his own crime." ”
Xiao Yi's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he said: "However, after reading the financial situation and army situation of the states and counties under Cui Han's management in the past three years, he is not like recruiting troops and training the army in private, not to mention anything else, to raise a huge army, a large amount of and continuous silver money is essential, however, although there are some small flaws in the deposit and settlement of these states and counties, there is no problem in general, the taxes that should be paid to the imperial court have been paid, and the remaining budgets have also been used."
In addition to taxes, where else can Cui Han get enough money to feed an army?
What's more, the number of recruits in Lingzhou and Shuozhou in recent years is also completely in line with the regulations of the imperial court, and it has not exceeded the upper limit given to them by the imperial court. ”
It can be said that judging from these circumstances, Cui Han is too well-behaved, and it is almost impossible to find a trace of fault.
This is very rare for a powerful envoy.
"It's all said that it's training the army in private, this kind of thing that will punish the Nine Clans, a fool will put it on the bright side, and we can't find his fault on the bright side, it's normal."
Zhao Jingxuan's fingers tapped on the table, and he said with a contemplative expression: "What makes me care is another thing, you say, according to the autopsy, it is very likely that Li Huaiying did not commit suicide?" ”
Xiao Yi glanced at him and said, "That's right, what Vice Admiral Yuan told us is that Li Huaiying was found in the Mo River, and more than half a month ago, it was an old man who was picking up garbage by the river and suddenly found a black shadow under the water, and found Li Huaiying's body.
I also sent for questioning the old man and the other people who witnessed the incident afterwards, and there was no problem with what the old man said.
And Li Huaiying was indeed drowned, however, between his mouth and nose, it was too clean. ”
Zhao Jingxuan is not a special investigator, so he didn't turn a corner for a while, "Is there anything wrong with being too clean?" ”
"There is a lot of sediment in the river, and even a lot of algae, and the body of a person who is drowned in the river will have more or less mud and sand algae and other filth in his mouth and nose, if not, it can only mean that he was most likely not drowned in the river, but was thrown into the river after death."
A crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from the door, and the two men in the room were stunned for a moment, and they both turned their heads in disbelief.
This voice clearly belongs to a person who can't be here!
When he saw the woman by the door, dressed in men's clothes and sassy and pretty, Xiao Yi stood up in a gaffe and said, "Ah Jing?!" ”
Behind Xu Jing, he also followed to the right with a helpless headache, seeing this, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Please forgive Lang Jun!" Madame came too suddenly, and the villain was worried that letting Madame wait outside would make others aware of Madame's existence, so he could only bring Madame in first......"
Zhao Jingxuan was stunned, and couldn't help laughing and said, ", this is a thousand miles chasing after the husband?" However, the man who left the bride on the second day of the marriage is really not presentable. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yi with a little urgency out of the corner of his eye.
Zhao Jingming, the eldest brother, looked calm and upright, and after getting along, he realized that he was a person who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, but he was somewhat similar to Zhao Shaohua's temperament.
Xu Jing chuckled and said: "Zhao Shizi is wrong, I came to find Yanci just by the way, I came to Lingzhou, I have something serious to do......"
Before she could finish speaking, the man not far away walked quickly to her side, grabbed her wrist with a calm face, and pulled her in.
Xu Jing was caught off guard and fell into his arms like this.
"Hey, don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people."
Zhao Jingxuan immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes, walked out very consciously, and joked to Xu Jing by the way, "Xu Niangzi, Yan Ci seems to be frightened by you, you have to appease him, I don't want to do the work of two people alone." ”
Xu Jing: "......"
I can't imagine that you are such a prince of Liang Guogong!
After Zhao Jingxuan went out, he closed the door for them very intimately.
Xu Jing slowly raised her head, looked at the dark and depressed eyes of the man in front of her, and heard him say in a dumb voice: "Why are you here?" ”
"I didn't say it, I came to Lingzhou for something."
Xu Jing blinked, suddenly raised her lips and smiled: "By the way, I'll give you an answer." ”
