"The 10 million taels of silver that were transported for disaster relief were stolen?" During the month that Li Cheng'an was under house arrest, a once-in-a-century flood broke out in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, washing away countless villages along the river, leaving hundreds of thousands of people displaced and homeless.

In order to rebuild the homes of the victims, Li Guanghao specially allocated 10 million taels of silver from the state treasury and escorted him to the disaster area.

Li Cheng'an had heard these things talk about the eunuchs, but what he didn't expect was that the silver taels used for disaster relief were actually stolen.

He knew that with his father's eloquence, it was impossible not to make a detailed and thorough escort plan, and the person in charge of the escort must also be a loyal, reliable, and excellent martial arts master.

He couldn't figure out why the silver had been stolen.

Hearing Li Cheng'an's question, Li Guanghao nodded, his expression solemn: "The route, time, and personnel arrangements for transporting grain have always been the most senior secrets in the DPRK, and only a few people know about it. ”

"Who are they?" Looking at Li Guanghao's expression, Li Chengan knew that this matter was not trivial, and hurriedly asked.

"Ding Xiong, the secretary of the military department, is responsible for the arrangement of the escort personnel, and Luo Fangkai, the secretary of the household department, is responsible for the delivery and inventory of the money, in addition to the two of them, there are eight military attaches in charge of the escort, and four civilian officials in charge of the money out of the warehouse. Li Guanghao said slowly.

"Then how did these ten thousand taels of silver disappear?"

"Before I set out, I personally checked all the silver, but when they arrived at their destination, when they opened the box, they found it full of stones. ”

"Then there must be something wrong with these eight military attachés, who dropped their bags on the way. Except for suspecting the escort, Li Chengan couldn't think of any other possibilities.

After the incident, these eight people were immediately put in prison, and after repeated interrogations, half of their feet had already stepped into the ghost gate, but they still insisted that they did not steal the silver. Li Guanghao sighed and said.

Before a person dies, Li Chengan doesn't believe that money is more important than his life, so he believes what these eight military attaches say, they may really not know.

Li Guanghao then said slowly: "Just when we were at a loss, I received this fold in your hand, according to the secret agent's report, a part of the disappeared silver seems to have appeared in Luoyang City, so I want to send you over to investigate." ”

Hearing that Li Guanghao had handed over such an important task to himself, Li Chengan suddenly shook his hands and almost slipped the deputy important fold to the ground.

"Father, I think it may be more appropriate for the imperial brother to handle this matter than me, after all, he has a much wider network in the court than me, and I have never dealt with the ministers of the court before. ”

Li Chengye is eight years older than Li Cheng'an, and he has been helping Li Guanghao with government affairs for a long time, and he has dealings with many ministers in the DPRK and China.

And Li Chengan has only been obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and rarely appears in the court. This time, I took on such a heavy burden at once, and I was a little at a loss for a while.

Looking at Li Cheng'an's stunned expression, Li Guanghao said earnestly: "Cheng An, you are not too young, it is time to help share some responsibilities for your father, don't worry, I won't let you go alone this time, you go back and clean up, go to Wuya Pavilion immediately, and I will arrange a helper for you over there." ”

Hearing that Li Guanghao had made up his mind and would not change, Li Chengan had no choice but to take over this task, and after he bowed respectfully to Li Guanghao again, he slowly withdrew from the Zichen Palace.

As soon as he retreated to the door, Li Guanghao remembered something again and said to him: "Don't mention this matter to anyone, remember, it's anyone." ”

Li Cheng'an nodded, exited the door, and reached out to close the door.

Pinching a piece of golden dragon token that Li Guanghao gave him in his hand that could command hundreds of officials, an inexplicable uneasiness and nervousness surged over Li Chengan's head, so that he didn't notice that Li Chengye was walking towards him quickly.

"Second brother, what's wrong? Has my father lifted your house arrest?"

Hearing Li Chengye's call, Li Chengan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Jiyan, my father has forgiven me." ”

"Hahaha, that's good, let's go, go to my side and have a few drinks with my brother. With that, Li Chengye was about to take Li Chengan home.

"No, brother emperor, this time my father asked me to go out to do something, and the younger brother didn't dare to delay, so he came to apologize another day. Li Chengan waved his hand and refused.

"Oh, what's so urgent that you can't finish drinking before leaving?"

"I really don't want to drink, Brother Huang, I have to rush to Luoyang before dark, so my younger brother will take his leave first. After speaking, Li Chengan bowed respectfully to Li Chengye, and then hurriedly returned to his room.

After cleaning up, Li Cheng'an left the palace and came to the Boundless Pavilion in the east of the city as soon as possible.

Seeing the golden dragon token presented by Li Cheng'an, the guards at the door immediately led him to meet the pavilion master.

Bai Liying, the master of the Boundless Pavilion, has been in charge of the Boundless Pavilion for more than thirty years, and he rarely shows up, but at this time, he seems to be waiting for Li Cheng'an to come.

Li Cheng'an had met Bailiying once or twice before, and knew that the other party was the minister of the current court, so he respectfully saluted him as soon as they met.

As soon as he bent down, he felt a mellow internal force surge, dragging him and lifting him to his feet.

"The second prince is polite, and the old minister can't stand it. Bai Liying stood up and smiled faintly.

Bai Liying already knew the purpose of Li Cheng'an's coming, because the secret agent that Li Guanghao said before was sent out by Wuya Pavilion.

So before Li Cheng'an came, Bai Liying had already arranged everything.

Bai Liying slapped her palms lightly, and then walked in from outside the door, a man and a woman.

The female Li Cheng'an has seen it, it is Yuan Shidie, who used to go to Yangzhou to protect himself in secret, but the male is the first time he has seen it.

"Gao Sheng greeted the second prince. ”

"Yuan Shidie visited the second prince. ”

After listening to the words of the two, Li Chengan found out that this man turned out to be Gao Sheng, a close disciple of Bai Liying.

Although he had never met Gao Sheng Zhenren before, he had heard of his name countless times.

Gao Shengxuan is the most outstanding of the younger generation of Wuya Pavilion, and when he was in his early twenties, he learned Bai Liying's stunt Void Arrow, and has repeatedly made great contributions to Wuya Pavilion.

There are three major organizations in the Boundless Pavilion, from low to high, which are Haw Par Xuan, Flying Eagle Hall, and Panlong Hall.

Yuan Shidie's current department is the Flying Eagle Hall, that is, she is in the middle ranks of the Boundless Pavilion, but she is the youngest of the Flying Eagle Hall, and it is said that she will soon have the opportunity to enter the Panlong Palace.

However, this Gao Sheng is even more legendary, it is said that it only took him one year to be promoted from the most ordinary member of the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion of the Boundless Pavilion to the elite of the Panlong Palace, which is the fastest promotion rate since the establishment of the Endless Pavilion.

Seeing that Wuya Pavilion actually sent two young elites, Gao Sheng and Yuan Shidie, this time, Li Chengan suddenly realized that this investigation might be far more complicated and difficult than he expected in advance.

But no matter how big the difficulty is, we must find a way to overcome it, after all, this is a major event related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people.

In this way, Li Chengan took the two most promising young people in the Boundless Pavilion and embarked on the road to Luoyang.
