Chapter 48 The Immortal in the Cave

Ever since the news about Yangzhou was passed on that day, Qu Changlan has been waiting for new news from Mr. Mo in the prefect's mansion every day.

He once asked about the situation of the princesses, and Mr. Mo told him that in the name of Lingxiao Villa, Li Weixuan used those folk traffickers and knights and righteous men in the rivers and lakes to establish a secret unofficial intelligence network to collect and deliver news. , the advantage of this kind of intelligence network is that it can be broken down into parts, penetrate into various unexpected corners, and because it has nothing to do with the official, it will not be eye-catching, it is difficult to be intervened, and its efficiency is better than traditional bureaucrats The institutions are much higher, and the quantitative sources of intelligence are also very reliable.

Hearing what he said, Qu Changlan felt relieved, and went up the mountain alone at dusk, and told Duanmuyao the good news.

The vegetation on the mountain began to wither, and it looked barren. Duanmu Yao carved another line on the wall of the cave. This is already the 11th day he has stayed here.

Except for the entrance, the cave is not completely closed. There is a small opening on the top of the rugged rocks, through which the wind and light come in, and Duanmu Yao uses this small opening to judge the outside world. time and weather.

Recently, the temperature on the mountain has dropped rapidly. Sometimes in the morning and evening, some crystal clear and sparse snowflakes will float in from this small hole. Xiao Hei will run to the bottom and sit down, look up at the top, and he will also recall Those ten winters spent in the capital.

Now it was snowing again outside, Duanmuyao hugged the black cat tightly, wrapped it in fur, and sat there watching the news from Mei Shiliang that he received today.

"Yu Rong, what do you think we should do now?"

Qu Changlan shook the snow off the umbrella and put it aside, then sat by the fire and added some dry wood to it.

"The story written in the story book does match some of the details I experienced at the beginning. It can basically be concluded that it was written by an insider, but I don't know what his purpose is for writing these, but if it is true as Qinghan said If Poppy is behind it, then the twists and turns in the capital murder case can be explained, although I can probably guess what his motives are, but I still need evidence to prove that he did it."

"I see. I will tell Yannian and let them investigate."

"Well, let the princesses investigate the disaster relief and corruption case later. After all, this is an official matter, and we are not in court now. We want to put pressure on those involved in this matter to investigate. You have to let them go."

In Duke Qing's mansion, Li Moli looked at the secret letter from Li Qinghe while holding her newborn daughter.

After Li Qinghe received the news from Li Weixuan, he asked Qi Guogong's Chang Shi to check all the transaction records of grain and engineering materials in the territory in the past six months. More than a month after the Ministry of Industry repaired the river, a large amount of engineering materials have flowed in.

So she sent someone to pretend to be an ordinary buyer and bought some back. After inspection, she found that although the logos in some places had been worn off, there were still some that were probably missed because of laziness. The top number on the roster of the Ministry of Industry.

Afterwards, she passed the news to Duke Qing's mansion.

Although Li Moli was very angry after watching it, she still went to Duke Qing who was watching a play in Qingyin Pavilion in the backyard with a smile on her face.

Jiang Fengyue was watching a play, and immediately greeted Li Moli when she saw Li Moli coming: "Madam, are you interested in going to the play today?"

Li Moli smiled at him, and said, "Fengyue, I'm tired of watching the dramas on this stage, but I don't even want to watch them."

"Oh? Then what do you want to see? I'll invite someone to play a new one for you."

"This time, I want to invite you to the play, and I want to act by myself, but I need your help?"

Jiang Fengyue looked at her playful daughter-in-law, raised her eyebrows and said, "You want to do it yourself? That's good, how can I help?"

Li Moli blinked her eyes, tiptoed to his ear, and said softly: "Lend me a hundred soldiers, and I will show you a night raid on the inspector's mansion."

That night, the mansion of the Inspector of Liangjiang River was surrounded by people. Inspector Zhang Muqing was still immersed in his sleep, until he was dragged into the main hall and saw the two people sitting there, finally woke up.

"I don't know that Duke Qing and the Fifth Princess are coming late at night, and if you miss them, you deserve death."

"Inspector Zhang is indeed guilty, but it's not a trivial matter like this."

Without raising her eyelids, Li Moli sat drinking tea in the hall and said, "Do you know what mistake you made?"

Zhang Muqing knelt there, feeling very uneasy in his heart, but he was not sure what kind of teacher and what crime Qing Guogong and his wife were asking for.

"I, I don't know..."

"Well, since you don't want to say it," Li Moli turned her head to look at the person sitting beside her, and said, "Feng Yue, how about we demolish the inspector's mansion?"

Jiang Fengyue nodded cooperatively, and said, "Take it apart, as long as you like it."

So the hundred government soldiers turned the inspector's mansion upside down from the inside to the outside, and jumped around for more than half an hour.

"Duke, madam, I found this from the secret compartment of the study."

A soldier presented an account book, and Li Moli hurriedly took it to look through it, and finally found what she wanted more than a month ago.

"Inspector Zhang, are you worshiping the God of Wealth? Why did you suddenly receive a huge sum of money? I remember that after the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, although the imperial court commended you, they didn't increase your salary, right?"

"Chen... I don't know where this account book came from. I'm not corrupt!"

"Then whose name is engraved on this large seal? Are you blind as a princess?"

Li Moli threw the account book on the table, and said angrily: "Zhang Muqing, Zhang Muqing, you really have a clear account book. You can clearly write down every item and column in black and white. If you still want to protect the lives of your family , just tell me all the good things you have done, or I will kill you right away."

A sword with a cold light was placed on Zhang Muqing's neck. He was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Princess Wu, please forgive me. I can say anything! Say anything!"

Qu Changlan entered the cave again at dusk. Besides bringing some food, he also handed Duanmuyao a thick secret letter.

"How? What does it say?"

"The disaster relief corruption case and the violent suppression case were all done by them."

Although Duanmu Yao sighed, his expression seemed a little more relaxed.

"The fourth princess found out the relief supplies that flowed into the public domain of Qi State, which confirmed the corruption of the Ministry of Industry, and the fifth princess found evidence of the violent suppression case that framed Tian Jian."

Qu Changlan hurriedly asked, "How did they do it?"

Duanmu Yao knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Let's talk about the corruption case first. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the result of Yushitai's first inspection at that time. Instead, the problem was the investigation by the doctor behind the door and the second case that you went to replace Yannian. patrol."

"How could it be? It's clear that my investigation results are the same as those of the admonishing doctor."

"Because they cunningly used a cover-up to advance in order to deal with Yannian."

"what way?"

"It's very simple. They had already embezzled those materials during the first inspection, but they didn't sell them immediately. Instead, they first rented some warehouses unrelated to the Ministry of Industry, temporarily stored those materials there, and then made a Introduce the fake account of the censor's bait, so that when the first inspection, the censor's inspection can immediately see the problem, and then report it to the court, and then the Ministry of Industry will act in court, saying that he has been wronged. Those materials were moved back, so that when His Majesty sent his subordinates to advise the doctor to go with you, there would be no problem in reconciling the accounts, and this kind of investigation also confirmed that it was Yu Shitai's false accusation, so Yannian was suspended from his job, etc. After the limelight is over, they can open warehouses and sell their supplies."

Qu Changlan thought for a while, and said: "However, after the first inspection by the Yushi Xun, they directly sealed the warehouse on the spot. If they did this, the seal should be broken, so the doctor under the door will definitely It was noted in the report, instead of saying that the seal was intact, could it be that they forged the seal?"

Duanmu Yao shook his head and said: "This is also very simple, Zihui, you forgot one thing, what is the seal used to fix it? It is paste, and it takes a while for the paste to dry in normal sunny weather, let alone this It was in the rainy south of the Yangtze River, and it would be difficult to dry out all day. They carefully took off the seal while the paste was still wet, and put it back after moving the things, so that the warehouse had never been opened. illusion."

"So that's how it is... What happened to the violent suppression case? I'm afraid no one knows what kind of person Tianjian is like than the few of us."

Duanmu Yao sighed, and said: "Actually, when the anonymous report paper appeared, I was skeptical. This time, the fifth princess has completely confirmed my guess. The original reason and result of the suppression case were all told to Tian Jian. The key is that the process is the same as the public opinion you heard when you went to inspect. It is the result of being guided by others. The most powerful evidence, I think, is the book that the five princesses found from the home of Zhang Muqing, the inspector of the Liangjiang River. ledger."

Qu Changlan looked through the ledger, and found that the ledger more than a month ago was extremely abnormal.

Duanmuyao pointed to the accounts recorded on the same day, and said: "Look here, a lot of silver taels were distributed in the same day, presumably these silver taels were used to buy 'actors', which is what Tian Jian said. Those rogues who took the lead in making troubles were originally delivered in batches, and it is normal for them to be unable to provide relief for a while, but they just took advantage of this time to deliberately make things big and arouse public anger, and they were responsible for distributing In order to ensure the supply of food relief, Deputy General Wu had to arrest those who caused disturbances, during this period there will definitely be a large number of innocent casualties, so they can use this incident to create public opinion and bring down Tianjian."

"But how do you prove that those people are all rogues hired to make trouble?"

"The fifth princess has already verified that the suspects who were taken into the local prison were all released shortly after Tianjian returned to Beijing, and look at the last few pages of this ledger, after Tianjian and you were released , there is a large amount of silver taels on it, the amount is more than ten times that of the previous employment, presumably this is the hard work paid by the Inspector Zhang, and there is also his confession provided by the fifth princess."

Qu Changlan looked at the evidence and said, "There are physical evidences, but it's a pity that there are no witnesses."

He thought of the censor inspector who had died unexpectedly during the second patrol, and now he thought about it, he must have been murdered to silence him.

"Who says there are no witnesses? Isn't the people who put their fingerprints on them the best witnesses? It's just that they have no position and are just pawns to be used."

"Looking at it this way, the traps set by the other party are interlocking and menacing, but why? We have been in power for ten years, and we have never offended Poppy, right?"

Duanmuyao shook his head, remembering the capital murder case that involved Li Luosu, and said: "Everything has a source, this situation started earlier than we thought, and pulling me off the horse is only half of the plan. I always feel that the other party should have done more than these things.”

"That's right, our connection with the capital was cut off, and you were attacked, it is very likely that they did it too."

"So, I have to ask the sixth princess to investigate other matters related to Poppy, so that Qinghan and Yannian should also find the breakthrough point in him, and also, to find out the current situation in the palace as soon as possible, I am concerned for His Majesty's safety."

"Don't worry, I'll tell them."

Qu Changlan nodded and immediately left the cave.
