Zong Xu pondered for a moment, "Start from the source and find out where the mined mineral deposits have gone." ”Wei Xi nodded, "I think so too, but do you want to remind those two adults?"
”"No need," Zong Xu shook his head and pressed Wei Xi's hand, "According to so many people in the Prosecutor and the Criminal Department, if you can't even think of this, then I will also consider changing a group of officials." ”Gu Feng and Pei Han walked out of the palace gate, only to look at Shi Zhengfei, who had just been appointed as the chief secretary, Gu Feng hugged his fists, "Master Shi." ”Shi Zhengfei hurriedly returned the salute, "What do you have to say about Master Gu?"
”"If the people behind Chang Youde know that this matter is exposed, they are likely to take revenge on Master Shi's family," Seeing that Shi Zhengfei's face turned pale, he hurriedly continued, "This official will send someone to secretly guard Master Shi's home, but I still hope that Master Shi's family will not go out without permission before the case is solved and the criminal is arrested." ”Zong Xu, who had returned to the imperial study, also called Luo Sheng this time."
Transfer some secret guards to guard Shi Zhengfei's house, and beside his wife and daughter, he also sent two secret guards to stuff in without a trace."
Luo Sheng was ordered to leave, and Wei Xi was thoughtful on the side, "Your Majesty is afraid that the people behind the scenes may attack the family of Master Shi?"
”Zong Xu snorted lightly, "The methods of the people behind the scenes are by no means soft-hearted, and it is possible to do anything when they are angry."
However, he should also have scruples, that is, your brother, that is, the Yaoguo Mansion, is just in case now. ”Wei Xi's brows tightened when he heard this, "That person has already lost his mind, does Your Majesty think it will be an official of the DPRK and China?"
”Zong Xu was silent for a while, "I don't know." ”There was a faint suspicion in his heart, but until the truth surfaced, all conclusions could not be made.I only hope that the truth is not what he thinks.In a hidden Zhuangzi in Shangjing City.A figure dressed in black hurried into the house, and after a while, another figure in gray came in, and the figure in black turned around and saw the person standing behind him, "Why are you so eager to call me over?"
”"Shi Zhengfei asked to see His Majesty, and after a while, according to the judge, according to the prosecutor, the envoy and the secretary of the criminal department, he was summoned, and Wan Jiang, he never came out after he entered the palace.I suspect that the book has already been presented to the emperor, and the affairs of Yongan County cannot be hidden. ”"What?"
The gray-clothed figure was shocked, thinking of Wan Jiang, "It's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose." ”He hurriedly asked, "What now?"
”"The gold mine cannot be hidden, and we must give it up."
The black-clothed figure was a little unwilling in his tone, and he was helpless, "The first thing now is to cut off any connection between the gold mine and us, and it must not involve us." ”"Less than 30% of the gold has been mined so far, and the purity will be higher in the future, so you can't think of any other way to do so much gold?"
The voice of the black-clothed figure was cold, "Then you have to have a life flower." ”The gray-clothed figure also knew that there was no perfect way to do this, so he had to nod with difficulty, "That is often virtuous?"
”"Giving him so many manpower can't stop a twist, he knows the most about our affairs, I'm afraid he has long suspected our identity, send someone over, kill it secretly, all the manpower in Yongan County is also secretly withdrawn, those people can't stay, cousin should know what to do."
The gray-clothed figure nodded, "Understood, I'll take care of it." ”The black-clothed figure looked up and looked in the direction of the imperial city, and his tone was more dignified, "According to the inspector Gu Feng, and Pei Han, the secretary of the Criminal Department, these two people are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially the ability of Su Qi, the servant of the Criminal Department under Pei Han's hand, to handle the case is not to be underestimated, we must be fast, if they catch a little tail, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”The gray-clothed figure's shoulders trembled, "Yes, I'll do it right away." ”Waiting for the gray-clothed figure to leave, the black-clothed figure stood in the courtyard for a while before retracting his gaze at Yong'an County, "Gold is important, but life is more important." ”"When I get out, this house will catch fire unexpectedly."
A "Obey" came from the empty courtyard.Penal Department.Gu Feng and Pei Han sat in the hall, a footstep hurried from far and near, Gu Feng looked up, and saw a handsome young official in a dark red official robe walking in."
Su Qi has seen Lord Shangshu, Gu is the envoy."
Gu Feng put down the tea bowl, "You are Su Qi, and you have admired the name for a long time." ”"The lower officials are ashamed and dare not be."
Pei Han motioned for Su Qi to sit down, and after he sat down, he handed over the fold that he brought out of the palace, "Su Shilang, you take a look at this fold first." ”A quarter of an hour later.Su Qi folded the music together, "Dare to ask about this case in Yongan County, but it falls on the Criminal Department and the Prosecutor's Department?"
”"That's right, Your Majesty gave half a month to solve this case.Su Shilang can find the key point from this fold. ”Su Qi pondered for a moment, then opened the fold and looked at it carefully, "Mine?
”As soon as the words were stacked, Pei Han and Gu Feng glanced at each other.An official from the Inspectorate came in, "My lord, this is the hush money I found from Wanjiang Mansion. ”Pei Hanna took over a stack of silver tickets, saw the amount on it, and weighed it again, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping, "This amount of hush money is not small!"
”Even such a hush money is such a large sum, you can imagine how rich the people behind the scenes are.Pei Han also drew one into his hand, "Hengtong Qianzhuang?"
But do you want to go to Hengtong Money Bank to check the source of this silver?
”Pei Han pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Wan Jiang is not their person, and this hush money is so easy to come out, which means that the people behind the scenes don't have much contact with Hengtong Bank."
For the sake of today's plan, I still have to check the flow of the mineral deposits first, I plan to secretly take people to Yong'an County, and Master Pei will stay in Beijing. ”"It's okay," Pei Han looked at Su Qi, who was sitting at the head of the house, "Why don't you ask Su Shilang to go with Master Gu?"
”"That's naturally good," Gu Feng looked at Su Qi, "This official also wants to see Master Su's case-handling methods."
This matter is urgent, I plan to leave early tomorrow morning, and I ask Master Su to prepare as soon as possible. ”Su Qi got up and arched his hand, "Yes." ”The soldiers are fast, and now it's time to see who can seize the opportunity first, between them and the people behind the scenes.When Seven Killings reported the progress of the case to Zong Xu, Wei Xi was also listening.According to the prosecutor, Gu Feng and Su Qi, the servant of the Criminal Department, secretly went to Yong'an County to investigate the flow of mineral deposits, and Pei Han sat in the capital.After arriving in Yong'an County, the two disguised themselves as wealthy businessmen and guards, and successfully infiltrated Yong'an County.After entering Yong'an County, the guards under the two of them were divided into one bright and two dark, and the people in the bright place began to buy walnuts on a large scale, and the people in the dark place secretly touched the direction of the mineral deposit after contacting Xu Kaiming, and the second department was responsible for monitoring the mansions of Chang Youde.On the third day, the people in the shadows found out what kind of mine was hidden in Yong'an County.Sure enough, it is a gold mine, and the reserves are not small.It's no wonder that the ambitions of those behind the scenes are nourished.Once the deposits have been discovered, the next step is to find out where the mined gold will go.The secret investigation here is not dangerous, but Chang Youde, who is being monitored by the secret guards on the other side, is both thrilling and dangerous.Chang Youde already had a bad premonition when he failed to stop Xu Kaiming's sixth letter.Although he was a little frightened in his heart, his face was still calm, after all, he knew that his every move was also watched by the people above.What really frightened him was the poisoning death of a concubine next to him.It is his habit to drink a bowl of soup every day before going to bed.But because of the twists and turns, he is in a very bad mood these days, and as the time drags on longer and longer, the more uneasy he becomes, and after the concubine brings the soup, he is rarely in the mood to drink, and casually said, "You drink it yourself." ”It was his words that directly cut off the life of his concubine.But this soup was originally intended for him to drink, that is, someone wanted his life.Seeing his beloved wife poisoned to death, Chang Youde was shocked into a cold sweat.After so many years of operation, this mansion has long been an iron bucket, and who can kill him.Unless the matter is revealed, the sky above his head is ready to kill him.Now he was really upset.One night he couldn't sleep without talking, and the next day he looked like everyone was going to kill him.Every time he eats, he must use a silver needle to test the poison, and he even let the guards around him buy enough loyalty in the early years to protect him for twelve hours a day.But there is no way to go on like this, he knows that even if he is powerful in Yongan County, but when he goes outside, he is not much stronger than an ant.Chang Youde began to think about the golden cicada coming out of its shell.But if the golden cicada comes out of its shell, most of the family money he has bought in the mansion over the years can only be abandoned, which is really comparable to ripping out his heart.Eventually, he came up with the idea of recovering the money from the latest batch of gold mines.Every time, he personally sent someone to a place in the capital for that person to receive the gold mine payment, and the latest batch of gold mine payment was the day after tomorrow.Inside a secluded inn in Yongan County.Su Qi once again received a secret report from the secret guard who monitored Chang Youde's house, and couldn't help but smile after reading it, "It's really not enough to swallow elephants." ”Gu Feng also finished reading the secret report, and raised his eyes to look at Su Qi, who was still dressed as a wealthy businessman's son sitting opposite, "It seems that the son has some plans." ”Su Qi nodded and hummed lightly, "Didn't Chang Youde want the golden cicada to get out of his shell, let's help him." ”Chang Youde, who successfully got the gold mine back, didn't even care about his wife and children, and after successfully swindling his death, he changed his face, took all the money he could take, got into a carriage with his unsightly appearance amid the cries of his wife and children and a group of concubines, and quietly left Yongan County, a place where he could not make a fortune that he could not think of in his life.And the process went smoothly and a little weirdly.But now that he has successfully left Yong'an County, he can't think about it so much.After much deliberation, he decided to go to Sanggyung.He was thinking about the most dangerous place and the safest place, and even if his plan to deceive him was discovered, that person would never think that he was right under his nose.Without the protection of the mansion and the guards, it would have been easy for Gu Feng's secret guards to find out the source of the stolen money.It's faster than tracking down the whereabouts of the gold mines.Su Qi sent Chang Youde to An An to Shangjing City, and at the same time sent a message to Pei Shangshu.Seven words, often virtue throws itself into the net.Palace.Zong Xu took the news from the Seven Killings."
It's really Baotong Bank!"
Wei Xi tilted his head, "Is that the Baotong Money Bank, which is known as one of the two major money banks in Dayong along with Hengtong Money Village?"
However, what is really, Your Majesty has already guessed it?
”Zong Xu's face sank like water, and at this moment, a complete vein had already been strung in his mind, "It's Zong Ting." ”
