Originally, Xu Changwei thought that those who have money to come to the door and don’t accept it are fools. Who would have thought that in the end, he was the biggest fool. He was completely at a loss and stood there in a daze, unable to say a word.

The censor He Jin, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Governor Xu did not participate in the case of fake money. Not to mention it, as the local governor, he condoned his son and accepted bribes, and the amount was huge. This alone has already blatantly violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty and was enough to be dismissed."

Zhao Quan leaned against the Grand Master's chair again and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, Fan Xiaodao stood up and said, "Mr. The case of the Jiangnan Mint Bureau was not instructed by Governor Xu. I can testify to this!"

Murong asked: "How to testify?"

Fan Xiaodao continued: "The Governor's Office had noticed the case of the Mint Bureau. I sneaked into the Mint Bureau and obtained the information. I had already formulated a detailed plan. Unexpectedly, the news leaked. Governor Xu made a quick decision and sent troops to seal the Mint Bureau, which solved the major case. If it were his instructor, he would never risk the risk of finding nothing and being bitten by the Transportation Department."

When sending troops to the Mint Bureau, Xu Ting sent two letters to 800 miles in advance to report the cause and effect to the capital. Murong knew that Fan Xiaodao came out to testify, and Murong had already made a conclusion in his heart, but at this moment, Xie Zhihua stood up and said, "Mr. Imperial envoy, Fan Xiaodao's words are not enough to believe!"

"Oh?" Murong looked at him, "Tell me."

Xie Zhihua said: "Fan Xiaodao, as the deputy chief of Liusanmen, uses his power to suppress dissidents, and even uses his power to seek personal gain. When the lower official was confined, he privately came to Bishuilou to find the lower official, demanding benefits, and threatening to find a way to overthrow all the charges if he does not pay."

“What’s the result?”

Xie Zhihua said: "That night, he took 10,000 taels of gold and 500,000 taels of silver from the government."

Murong asked Fan Xiaodao, "Is this a matter?"

Fan Xiaodao didn't say anything and laughed.

Murong asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with laughing?"

Fan Xiaodao put away his smile and said seriously: "Nothing is true!"

Since you don’t follow the rules, why should I be polite? To deal with scoundrels, you have to use scoundrels to defeat magic! He said slowly: "Mr. Xie is the imperial official, Jiangnan Transport Author, a fourth-rank official, a monthly salary, plus a clean silver, only more than a hundred taels, and only a thousand taels a year. But he said I took away 10,000 gold and 500,000 silver. Assuming Mr. Xie is a clean official, of course, we are talking about assumptions that we have to save enough money, and we have to eat or drink for sixty years. Do you think so, Xie Zhihua? Of course, if Mr. Xie is not a clean official, how did this silver come from? According to the Ming Dynasty law, officials accept bribes, and more than twenty-four taels, and behead them. In this way, even if Mr. Xie’s head is chopped into meat filling, it would not be enough to make up the 30,000 knives!"

Xie Zhihua's face turned pale.

When he promised to give Fan Xiaodao silver to buy Saidi Chan's confession, he actually left a backup plan. He wanted to overturn Fan Xiaodao's confession on the grounds that he accepted bribes. Unexpectedly, he caught the source of his own silver, which made him unexpectedly.

At that time, Xie Zhihua took out gold bars and silver notes, as well as a bunch of house deeds and land deeds. Fan Xiaodao only withdraws money, but the assets were not taken away. It seems that he is prepared.

The censor He Jin interrupted Fan Xiaodao, "Don't be arrogant in the court! Fan Xiaodao, have you taken the silver money?"

Fan Xiaodao shook his head, "How is that possible? It's just a one-sided statement from Lord Xie. Now he is desperate to jump over the wall. In order to clear his crime, he bites him whenever he sees him!"

Xie Zhihua said: "Fan Xiaodao, you took 100 kilograms of gold, 10,000 gold tickets and 500,000 silver tickets from me. It was the 16th day of last month. Do you still want to deny it?"

Fan Xiaodao asked: "Where is the evidence? Personal evidence? Physical evidence? Also, you said I took the money, where is the money? No evidence, I have to be responsible for it! Mr. Xie, there is a large amount of money from unknown origin in the mansion. I think Lord Murong can send someone to search, especially in the secret rooms, secret rooms, etc., and maybe there will be great gains!"

After Fan Xiaodao withdrew the money, he immediately handed it over to Jinling Mansion and registered it to make the final payment for iron tin exchange. However, if he said it at this time, he would probably involve Xie Yu again. It would be better to just be a little bit and refuse to admit it. Anyway, there was no third person at that time.

Murong came to investigate the case, but he didn't want to make a big deal. He heard this and said, "The anti-corruption matter is not within our authority to handle the case this time, nor is it the responsibility of our Jinyiwei. If you have any clues, you might as well report it to Dali Temple."

The imperial envoys have a rough understanding of all the key witnesses, testimony, and the whole case. The evidence and confessions prepared by the six doors have been handed over to the imperial envoy. The next work is to verify the clues and testimony one by one, investigate and collect evidence.

The first round of interrogation is over.

Both sides had their own opinions, and the imperial envoy was not in a hurry to make a conclusion.

And the war between the two sides has just begun.

Next, it is time for both sides to use their magical powers.

The key to case investigation is people. Once people are dealt with, everything is dealt with.

Xie Zhihua understands this principle, Xu Ting understands it, Fan Xiaodao, and Zhao Xing understands it too.

Murong Tiechui said: "Today's case is here first. Next, we will conduct a detailed investigation. Please do not leave Jinling in the near future and make sure you are on call!"

At this time, Zhao Quan, who had been leaning on the chair, opened his eyes, yawned, and said a little apologetically, "I am old and can't keep up with my energy. I fell asleep accidentally." Everyone didn't dare to say anything when they heard this. This afternoon, he sat in the lobby, squinted his eyes. In addition to sleeping, he also snored, and sometimes he also snores. However, no one of the people present dared to underestimate the chief supervisor of the Silijian, the head of the inner court. He was the eunuch whom His Majesty had the most beloved eunuch. He had been in charge of the Silijian for twenty years and the bloody storm in the court. The chief minister of the cabinet was like a lantern, changing one after another, but he sat in this position for twenty years, and he didn't think he could have been sleeping.

Although the interrogation has ended, no one dared to retreat. They held their breath and waited for his next words.

This is the focus today.

Whether it is Murong Tiecheng, Du Shaoqing, or He Jingshi, they are all experts. However, they are only technical, and the old eunuch who can't open his eyes and is drowsy all day long, his words are at the guidance level.

How to investigate the case, where to investigate, and what level to find, after all, this person has the final say.

Zhao Quan sat upright and rubbed his eyes, "As aged, he suddenly became particularly nostalgic. For some reason, today I remembered when I was a child. At that time, I had not yet entered the palace to serve my master. Our village was very poor, with hundreds of families, only two wells, one sweet well, and one salt water well. The top priority every morning was to queue up to get water in the early stage. I remember that one year, one drought was severe, and the water in the sweet well was not enough. In order to compete for the right to use the well, two families in the village fought and finally won and occupied the sweet well. The failed family was not willing to do so. They always tried every means to destroy it, either blocked the wellbore or poisoned the sweet well. In the end, the two wells were useless. The whole village could only live on the salt water well."

He sighed, "I think..."

Everyone stood up their ears.

What about sweet water wells or salt water wells? On the surface, it is said that it is a dispute over water wells in the family, but in secret, it is understood that it refers to the power struggle between the prince Zhu Yan and Princess Taiping. The previous ones are just statements of facts, and the next words are statements, statements about this matter, statements about the princess and the prince’s struggle for power.

Zhao Quan said: "It's all from the villagers. It's good to have saliva. I have to fight to the death, and no one will be better in the end!"

Murong suddenly realized.

Du Shaoqing, He Jin understands.

Xu Ting and Xie Zhihua will also like it.

This is not what Zhao Quan means, but what His Majesty means.

It is no problem for two people to fight. Only with struggle can the imperial power be consolidated. But if it is broken to death, it will not be the result that Your Majesty is willing to see.

After saying this, Zhao Quan stood up and walked slowly down. When he passed by Fan Xiaodao, he suddenly staggered. Fan Xiaodao hurriedly supported him and said, "Eunuch Zhao, isn't it a problem?"

This Zhao Quan is also an old acquaintance.

Since entering Beijing, he has taken care of him more or less secretly. If he hadn't spoken for him, the lawsuit between Liushemen and Bingmasi might have been like this! Zhao Quan smiled, "Mr. Xiao Fan, have you worked hard these months, and your health is OK?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "I'm in good health!"

"Do you continue to take medicine?"

Fan Xiaodao nodded.

"When I return to the capital, our family will take you to Taiping Taoist Temple, find the old Taoist priest, and ask him for a few high-quality medicines. It is not a solution to keep dragging like this."

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhao."

When everyone saw Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Quan talking and laughing, they couldn't help but wonder. One was the sixth-rank deputy chief of the Sixth Gate, and the other was the first magistrate of the dynasty. The two had such a good personal relationship? Xie Zhihua saw it and his heart skipped a beat, as if he fell into an ice cellar, his face turned as if he was ashen.

You know, over the past few months, I have dealt with him a lot.

He even used the killer.

If he had known that they had this relationship, even if the princess personally ordered, he would have to consider it!

Zhao Quan said: "Master said, young people, it is a good thing to be a career, and it is just a job to play in front of you. Don't get tired of your body, it's not worth it!"

Everyone took a breath of air conditioning.

Zhao Quan's trip does not mean Princess Taiping, nor does it mean Prince Zhu Yan. His master has only one person, that is His Majesty today.

Who is this Fan Xiaodao? Even His Majesty cares so much?

Zhao Quan waved his hand and said to everyone: "It's all gone, Lord Xiao Fan, please accompany me for a walk in the yard."

There is a garden in the backyard of the Governor's yamen. There are several loquat trees planted in the yard. Now it is the season when loquats are ripe. The full loquats press the branches like an old man who is bent over and hunched, exuding a faint fruity fragrance. Fan Xiaodao picked one and handed it to the old eunuch. Zhao Quan waved his hand, "I have bad stomachs and can't eat cold food."

Fan Xiaodao refused, wiped it with her sleeve and started eating it himself.

The old eunuch said: "Have you lived a happy life in Jiangnan during this period?"

Fan Xiaodao shook his head, "It's extremely thrilling. It's a blessing to be alive."

The old eunuch said: "It was a rash move to send you to Jiangnan. When Your Majesty learned about this, he scolded His Highness the Crown Prince. However, when you and that boy Zhao Xing came to Jiangnan, you were not honest and made the place a mess, and it seemed that you had some skills."

Fan Xiaodao scratched his head.

Zhao Quan said again: "If you don't want to stay, wait for this matter and transfer you back to the capital."

Fan Xiaodao asked: "Take it serious?"

This trip to Jiangnan was not beautiful at all.

Fan Xiaodao could not wait to return to the capital because he had more important things to do. Zhao Quan found him this time, and in his words, he knew everything he had in Jiangnan, and he could basically determine his identity.

However, he went to the capital not to recognize his relatives.

What can I do if I am just a prince, but I am an illegitimate child?

He wants to investigate the case.

Investigate Song Jingang's case and investigate the case of his biological mother.

Zhao Quan glanced at him: "That's settled."

However, the case, which was originally conclusive and had clear evidence, turned into a pool of muddy water in the first instance today.

Those who make confessions are turned over, and those who bite people are biting.

It turns out that the previous ones were just delaying strategies.

He asked, "How to investigate this case?"

Zhao Quan smiled, "Then you have to ask the imperial envoy."

"I will fight for the last ten years and risk my life to solve the case. I will not end up with the last one. I will beat ninety boards and mud, and I will be done?"

Zhao Quan said: "Things are not as simple as you imagined, but they are not as complicated as you imagined."

This sentence confused Fan Xiaodao, "What does it mean?"
