Chapter 292 Shall I help you again?
People are dead, and many clues have been broken. Even if you want to find out what happened more than 20 years ago, I am afraid it will not be easy. In fact, it is not impossible to close the kidnapper's case, but Wen Jiuxiao can't feel at ease every time he thinks of the huge amount of money in the account book.
Millions of taels of silver! In whose hands did it fall? Where will it be used again? As an official of the imperial court, Wen Jiuxiao could not close the case against his conscience.
Master He is the same, don't look at him smiling at everyone, looking like a good old man, in fact, he has his own persistence in his bones.
So, the two packed up all the evidence and testimonies and entered the palace. Since you can't close the case, let's make it big!
"...I thought it was just a case of ordinary people kidnapping and selling girls. Unexpectedly, the more I looked into it, the more inside information was found. The amount of money involved was too large. It seemed that officials from the DPRK and China were also involved. The ministers dared not commit themselves..."
Emperor Taikang flipped through the account book presented expressionlessly, and was shocked in his heart. Who is so bold that even the daughter of an official dares to attack? Isn't this too crazy? Where does such a large amount of money end up going...
Emperor Taikang closed his eyes. He thought of the eldest emperor who died long ago, the second emperor who was exiled, and the third emperor who was imprisoned. Are there any figures behind this case?
Millions! Who is so courageous?
Emperor Taikang took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on He Zheng and Wen Jiuxiao, with a bit of relief in his eyes. These two courtiers have always been capable, and this time they also discovered the clue. Dali Temple has them. He is very relieved.
If rewards were to be given for meritorious deeds, He Aiqing and Wen Aiqing would have been able to move up a long time ago. However, Emperor Taikang was worried that Dali Temple was put in the hands of others, so he had to suppress them all the time.
"...Since it was discovered by the two love ministers, I have to ask you to investigate this case. Do a thorough investigation, and don't worry about the rest. I am here..." Emperor Taikang directly ordered.
Both He Zheng and Wen Jiuxiao heaved a sigh of relief. With the support of the emperor, they can feel at ease and be free to investigate.
Early in the morning, the emperor was furious and scolded all the courtiers, "...a prostitute who is recorded by the government in the crotch, is actually the biggest kidnapper in the Daqing Dynasty in private! You have been doing evil for more than 20 years, and you have nothing to do with it!" Unaware! Feel your conscience, are you worthy of that thing in your chest? Are you worthy of the official uniforms you wear? Are you worthy of the salaries I give you?"
The courtiers below were extremely shocked. When did such a shocking case happen in Jingli? Then it suddenly dawned on me: No wonder Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture both ran to Dali Temple frequently, and didn't care if they didn't look good. Heh, as long as you can get the credit, who cares about face?
These two old boys are well-informed, but they are so unmanned that they don't even let the wind out.
For a while, many people looked at these two with unkind eyes.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and Yin of Jingzhao House secretly complained in their hearts. They are now sure that they were cheated. If they knew that the water behind this case was so deep, they wouldn't be able to go to Dali Temple to demand someone no matter what! But now they can't say anything, only wry smiles.
"...Calling my long live every day, long live, I will be **** off by you..."
Emperor Taikang was in a bad mood, anyway, he was not pleasing to the eyes of all the courtiers.
Yes, the person behind it surfaced. It was Bai Sanye who was released from Beijing as an official many years ago. Wen Jiuxiao personally went to any place to **** him to Beijing for trial.
Bai Sanye initially denied it, but after seeing the evidence, he confessed. Bai Sanye and his adult son were sentenced to death, and the remaining female relatives and underage men were all made official slaves.
The fourth house of the Bai family has long been separated, and the other three houses, who are brothers, have also been implicated, but not too much. In the room of Bai Guogong in Beijing, because Bai Guogong did not intercede for his brother, he stood up and stated his position: He believes in the emperor and believes that the law will not wrong good people. He will never cover up.
In addition, his eldest daughter is the concubine in the palace. The emperor only fined Concubine Bai his salary for three years because he was pregnant.
With the death of Caishikou, this sensational case of abduction and trafficking came to an end. All the officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no smile on Wen Jiuxiao's face.
He always felt that something was wrong, it was too smooth. Those evidences, those people, seemed to be arranged to be sent to him by someone, and there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands behind him to manipulate all this.
Also, there are some clues that obviously don't match up, but Mr. Bai pleaded guilty too quickly.
So, Wen Jiuxiao did a very bold thing. Before his execution, he replaced Mr. Bai. In other words, the beheaded man was not the real Mr. Bai at all.
Yu Zhi also knew about this, because she was the one who helped change people and stole them out.
"Why don't I help you again?" Yu Zhi asked very kindly, seeing that he was at a loss for what to do.
Wen Jiuxiao looked at her, Yu Zhi touched his nose, and said: "I always think Bai Guogong is too hypocritical. I don't like him. As a Duke, he doesn't know anything about what his brother is doing. ? Even if it’s Bai San, what about the silver? A total of 50,000 taels of silver were found, which doesn’t match up at all.”
"What are you going to do?" Wen Jiuxiao asked.
Yu Zhi smiled smugly, "Naturally, I will go to Bai Guogong's mansion at night, maybe there will be new discoveries." Afraid that Wen Jiuxiao would stop him, he said: "There will be no danger, just take a walk .”
Wen Jiuxiao's forehead was covered with black lines, "No! I have my own opinion on this matter. You, didn't you say that the weather is getting warmer, and you are clamoring to plant flowers, and you still want to make clothes for me?"
"You heard me wrong!" Yu Zhi put on a wooden face, she couldn't think about it so she wanted to make clothes for him? "I clearly said that I was looking for a tailor to make my own clothes." Originally, Wen Jiuxiao had a share, but now... it's gone.
"Okay, okay, okay, blame me! I heard it wrong." Wen Jiuxiao hurriedly comforted her, "We Zhizhi is so beautiful, we must make more beautiful clothes. As a husband, I like my wife to dress up beautifully."
Yu Zhi curled his lips, forget it, kindly help, he still doesn't want it. own claim? Hmph, what a fart he has his own opinion!
By the way, these two Yueguang have been paying attention to the kidnapping case, and they forgot about Bai Youfu. Was he already in exile by now? If she doesn't take a look with her own eyes, she won't worry!
It's only five hundred miles, not far!
A little delay today...
