Gu Kexue still hasn't claimed the prize money from the previous lottery, and after seven days, his ticket is invalid, and he hasn't bought a ticket for the final battle of the ring, so he won't show up at the prize office.

The last time Mo Buping saw him was on the side of the road outside Qingliangmen at the end of last month, and showed him the Jinlian that Peng Yunyi returned in place of Zhao Ran, and at the same time, several people also discussed what banner to put out during the competition, and the words they finally chose were made according to Gu Kexue's suggestion.

Since then, Gu Kexue has not been heard from, as if he had disappeared, did not appear at any lottery distribution point that Mo Buping was familiar with, did not participate in any lottery gatherings, and did not appear at the scene of the game......

Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong unanimously judged that there was likely to be a problem in the Jinlian, and it was precisely because Zhao Ran returned the Jinlian that Gu Kexue thought that he might have been exposed, so he disappeared.

Dongfang Li regretted that perhaps the round-up operation in the capital failed, and the two pavilions were one step too late after all.

Blame me? Zhao Ran felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and wanted to explain a few times a few times, but he didn't know how to explain.

Dongfang Li patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "But it's not for nothing, this operation, we finally know his name and road number, know his identity, and even get his portrait." Unless he flees the country, he will one day fall into our hands! ”

"What's next?"

"This doesn't mean that we won't investigate Xiu'an, on the contrary, as a tumor of Daomen, Xiu'an must be strictly investigated, and if we find one and destroy another, we will not tolerate it. Next, we will continue to look for Gu Kexue in the capital to see if there are any other clues, we are going to investigate for another half a month, if he still does not appear, we will deal with the people who listen to the wind, as well as the spring breeze and the clouds. ”

"What to do?"

"Let's let him go, after all, his performance this time is not bad, we plan to let him wait in Beijing for another three months to see if he has any hope of contacting Gu Kexue - of course there is no hope. As for Chunfeng and Guanyun, they will be transferred to the Lushan East Pole Pavilion to try their case of killing Meng Yanzhen, and also see what the reaction of the upper third palace is. ”

Before leaving, Dongfang Li said that because Zhao Ran's current identity is special, he will not let him deliberately interfere in the investigation of the case again, let him put his energy back to the position of the abbot of Xuantan Palace, and find a way to increase Yingtian's credibility.

So Zhao Ran strictly followed the "etiquette" and continued to be busy in the Xuantan Palace.

According to the statistics of the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, a total of 280,000 standard bricks and 3,800 pieces of stone were consumed, plus subsidies for the kiln mouths using coal kilns, subsidies for craftsmen and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, a government and two government offices, and other expenses, including the expenses for recruiting young and strong people in the city, and so on, the total expenditure of the charity fund was about 4,000 taels.

In addition to materials, the expenditure on silver money is very economical, and the reason for the savings is the large-scale use of spirit demons, and the efficient organization of a group of engineering veterans in Xuantan Palace, which completed the project progress that took three or five months to reach in less than a month.

Especially the latter, without the efficient team of more than ten people brought by Lei Shan and Lu Zhiyu from the Song Domain, and without the good atmosphere of unity and cooperation between the Ministry of Industry and the government and the government and the government laid down by Zhao Ran at the top level, this project would never have progressed so quickly.

The renovation of roads and drainage ditches is a small task, and the whole project is expected to be completed by the end of the month, and by May, Zhao Ran is ready to start the pre-publicity of the bridge, when the time comes, he will begin to shift his focus to building the bridge.

Xia Yan, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Yan Song, a scholar of Jinshen Temple, and Xu Jie, a scholar of Wenyuange University, all agreed that the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple would jointly intervene in the case of the household department's embezzlement of silver, so Zhang Yongming, Fang Zan, and Zheng Bengong formed an inquiry team to begin to verify the case.

This matter made such a big fuss, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Ran, and it was obvious that someone was behind it.

Zhao Ran asked Li Dayin when he was free, and Li Dayin, who was extremely familiar with things in the court, said disdainfully: "These officials, in fact, are all for that position." ”

Zhao Ran asked, "Which position? What do you mean?"

Li Dayin further explained: "Zhiran may not know much about the movements in the palace, now there are only three cabinets, and they all say that the emperor will add another one, either at the end of this month, or at the beginning of next month, when the time comes, let's see the results of the court push, who is the real winner, at a glance." ”

So Zhao Ran understood, and instructed Jiang Zhibiao to cooperate more vigorously to build momentum.

On the tenth day of the first month of April, the three legal divisions tried the case of embezzlement of silver in the household department, and first asked Huo Tao and Gui Cao for a simple question, but it was just an inquiry, both of them were science and technology officials, and they were not responsible for what they said.

After the questioning, it was the turn of Zhang Xuan, a political jinshi of the Ministry of Rites, who said that there was no extrajudicial protection in his identity, and he was directly summoned to the court. If you want to ascend to the sky in one step, you must naturally be prepared to take risks, Zhang Xuan came in a dashing manner, and it is said that he was generous in the hall, and his words were quite stylish.

Then the relevant people of the Tianfu Ya and others checked the specific whereabouts of the thousand taels of silver. The results of the inspection were not problematic, the silver was indeed received, and it was indeed used for the renovation of the road, specifically for the purchase of masonry, and the handler, the bookkeeper, and the kiln owner could all be found, and the correspondence with the ledger was complete.

After confirming that the matter of the household department's allocation of 1,000 taels was indeed true, everyone was more worried about Gan Shutong, especially after the hype of "Inside and Outside the Imperial City", the eyes of the inside and outside were focused on this case.

The appropriation of funds for the renovation of the capital won the support of the people, and the common people applauded it one-sidedly, but those who knew how to do it were very worried about Gan Shutong, because the timing of the appropriation was not right.

The renovation of the capital is a charity initiated by the Xuantan Palace, and it is the affairs of the Daomen, and the funds from the household department are allocated to participate in this matter, and there is a suspicion that the Dao Shu does not distinguish between them, in other words, it is unauthorized misappropriation.

There is a good saying that if the procedure is not correct, the result may not be good, and the procedure is just, and the result is not good.

The case continued to progress, and on April 14, the Third Law Division began to inquire about the relevant personnel of the household department, and what made people surprised was that the "big case" that caused such a big stir was closed in less than a day.

The reason is very simple, the household department did allocate 1,000 taels of silver to Ying Tianfu, but the money was donated by Gan Shutong out of his own pocket!

This time the result broke out, and the people of the entire capital rushed to tell each other, and the fireworks and firecrackers did not know how much they burned, and Gan Shutong's reputation was greatly enhanced, and his prestige was unrivaled for a while!
