The eldest son is fierce

"Okay, I will go to the palace to meet the emperor in person later." Ning Chuan nodded.

Although he didn't know what Tang Yi was up to, he still did as he was told.

The atmosphere has become so tense. If he still questions Tang Yi, wouldn't that make him a laughing stock?

"Haha, Ningchuan, you've fallen."

Seeing that Ning Chuan dared to agree with Tang Yi, Su Kuang burst into laughter and said, "Go ahead and report to His Majesty. I won't have to do anything then. I can uproot you all for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Don't worry, if no one comes to collect your bodies, I will help you collect them."

"Of course, I will take good care of your family."

"Haha, let's go!"

Su Kuang waved his hand, laughed loudly, and left with the people from the Second Department.

As soon as the people from the Second Department left, everyone looked at Tang Yi.

Xiao Di even picked up the piece of rice paper that Tang Yi had been looking at before and handed it to Tang Yi.

"Come on, Tang Yi, tell me, how does this account on this piece of paper tell you who the murderer is?"

"This piece of paper can talk?"

Kong Shilan, Xiao Lan, Ning Chuan and a group of people also gathered around.

Looking left, right, up and down, it's just a series of numbers. How can numbers tell Tang Yi who the murderer is?

Tang Yi naturally would not tell them the truth.

It’s not that he speculates about others with malicious intent, but he doesn’t know the people in the same office very well. What if there is a traitor?

If the traitor leaks the information, we're doomed.

He was just thinking about how to explain when an old man ran in crying.

"Sir, please make the decision for my old man!"

"I heard the murderer has been found. Who is the murderer? Who killed my master?"

The old man was in his sixties. He knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to Ning Chuan repeatedly.

"He is the housekeeper Gu Fu of the mansion. Whenever he comes to investigate a case these days, he comes to ask about the situation."

Ning Chuan said with a dark face, "Su Kuang must have told him about finding the murderer, so he came here to ask about the situation. What a bunch of shady guys."

He originally wanted to keep it secret, but now that the Gu family knows about it, even if they don't say anything, the Gu family will make a scene before the emperor.

Tang Yi was shocked. Butler? Isn't this the murderer?

The murderer came to the door?

Is this a trap? Or is he confident that once he knows the truth, he can wipe out everyone in the house?

Tang Yi felt that the latter might be greater.

Of course, it is also possible that he came here to test the waters.

"Don't listen to what those guys from the Second Division say. How can they possibly know who the murderer is just based on these messed-up account books?"

"I just didn't like them, so I deliberately messed with them."

Tang Yi stood up, looked at Ning Chuan and said, "Ningtou, we should bring all the things in these rooms back to our place."

"Although it's just a trick, if we take all these things back, someone might be fooled and come to destroy the evidence."

"As long as someone comes to destroy the evidence, we can seize the opportunity and catch them. Wouldn't that give us a clue?"

Gu Fu's tense body slowly bent down, and with a flick of his fingertips, the small scimitar that had originally fallen into his palm flew back into his sleeve.

I told you, how could a little kid possibly find out the truth?

While he breathed a sigh of relief, his face was filled with grief and he accused Tang Yi at the top of his lungs.

"You...how could you lie to me? That's too much."

"I will have my mistress sue you before His Majesty and make you pay the price!"

Tang Yi flicked his sleeves and said coldly with a sullen face: "How dare you! When is it your turn to point fingers at me, the Jinyiwei, when are we doing things?"

The housekeeper's accusations suddenly stopped.

"Get out of here! If you keep causing trouble, I'll take you to the Jinyiwei prison and let you experience their torture."

Tang Yi held down the Embroidered Spring Blade and snorted coldly.

The butler immediately pretended to crawl out of the study.

Xiao Lan, Kong Shilan and Ning Chuan and his group all looked at Tang Yi in surprise.

Even they couldn't understand Tang Yi anymore. He had just sworn that he had found the murderer, and now he was using his identity as a Jinyiwei to pressure others.

What is the purpose of this?

"Tang Yi, you'd better convince me, otherwise no one can save you today."

Ning Chuan gritted his teeth. Damn, can His Majesty do whatever he wants to the person he likes? If something happens, His Majesty will protect you, then who will protect the rest of us?

Tang Yi immediately put his arm around Ning Chuan's shoulders and walked to the side, whispering in his ear.

"Ningtou, I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

"The murderer of Gu Cheng was the housekeeper."

Ning Chuan's body suddenly tensed up.

what?

The butler is the murderer?

How can this be.

"He, this is impossible."

Ning Chuan's voice suddenly rose.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Ning Chuan coughed dryly and whispered, "Impossible. We investigated and found that the housekeeper was not in the house at that time."

"He has a sufficient alibi, how could he be the murderer?"

"Also, how do you know the butler is the murderer?"

"Of course it was Gu Cheng who told me." Tang Yi pointed to the rice paper in his hand.

Come again?

Ning Chuan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. Damn it! I've been handling cases for so many years, but why do I feel like an idiot in front of this guy?

"These numbers are a code."

Tang Yi looked around. Although everyone stretched their necks, no one came over.

He put his fist to his lips and whispered, "Gu Cheng encrypted the account books of the murderer and the ministers who borrowed money from the national treasury."

"Ningtou, this is all I can tell you for now."

"So, these books and account books are all evidence. As for the broken doors, windows, tables and chairs, they were just incidental items to conceal the truth."

"As for the murderer, don't touch him for now. Let's wait for the second place to make a move."

Ning Chuan widened his eyes. Is this true? Why does it feel like what you said is so mysterious?

Did Gu Cheng really record the murderer's and his ministers' accounts in these messy and fabricated books?

After pondering for a moment, Ning Chuan immediately waved his hand and gave orders to everyone.

"Go get a dozen carriages and move all the things in the house back to the Northern Pacification Office."

"Spread the news to the public, saying that Tang Yi has solved the case and all the evidence is sealed in the Jinyiwei. See if anyone dares to destroy the evidence."

Ning Chuan still chose to believe Tang Yi.

Well, the person that Your Majesty has chosen does have some ability.

They spent several days trying to find any clues, but then the man just stood there for half an incense stick and the case was solved.

"Yes."

Everyone looked at the mess and their faces twitched.

No, is this about collecting evidence or moving?

After handling cases for so many years, this is the first time they have handled such a bizarre case.

Xiao Di and Xiao Lan were so anxious that they scratched their heads and wanted to know what Tang Yi and Ning Chuan had said.

Kong Shilan looked at Tang Yi with a slight smile on her face. She felt that Tang Yi might be preparing to cheat people again.

Soon, people from the first department found a carriage, loaded all the books and account books in the study into the carriage, and transported them all back to the Northern Pacification Office.

The housekeeper personally escorted the Jinyiwei out of the Gu family.

Then, the housekeeper returned home and left the Gu family directly through the back door.

After walking around several streets, he stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

In the yard, a farm girl in a plain skirt was feeding chickens, making "cluck, cluck" sounds. She casually scattered a handful of beans, and a dozen chickens surrounded her, vying for food.

The butler bowed slightly towards the gate and said, "Please report to the master that everything is going smoothly here. The Jinyiwei have not found the murderer and are just bluffing."

"The plan can still be carried out."

Behind the door, the girl didn't even raise her head, but said calmly: "Yes."
