“Yeah, I almost forgot.” Sun Xiaohong’s eyes lit up.
Three years ago, Xiang Nan relied on the "mind-telling technique" to make Long Xiaoyun reveal his crime on the spot, and the truth about the plum blossom robbery was revealed.
This secret technique is really weird, it can seize the soul and control the human heart.
Xiang Nan then called Ping An in again.
"Li Tanhua, I have said everything that needs to be said. Do you have anything else to ask?" Ping An couldn't help but asked doubtfully when he saw that he was called back again.
"I just asked eight of you, and your confessions are almost consistent." Xiang Nan nodded, "But there are still some details that were not explained clearly, so I will ask you again, and can you explain it carefully?"
Ping An nodded, "Okay, Li Tanhua, please ask."
"Well, let me ask you, besides the Prince Consort's Mansion and the Hubu Yamen, where else does the Prince Consort usually go?" Xiang Nan asked.
“The Prince Consort often goes to the Flower House.” Ping An replied calmly.
Hearing what he said, Sun Xiaohong's eyes suddenly lit up.
“What are you going to do at the Flower House?” Xiang Nan continued to ask.
“He fell in love with Jiang Nanyue, the singer in the Flower House, and paid for her to stay there. He always goes there several times a month.” Ping An continued to reply dully.
“Besides going to see Jiang Nanyue at the Flower House, who else does the Prince Consort usually keep in contact with?” Xiang Nan continued to ask.
“No more.” Ping An shook his head and said.
“Why didn’t I tell you the truth when I asked you before?” Xiang Nan asked again.
“It’s about the reputation of the Prince Consort, we dare not tell the truth.” Ping An explained.
“Okay, you go out.” Xiang Nan said.
Ping An immediately stood up and walked out of the door with his limbs stiff like a puppet.
As soon as he went out, he was blown by the wind, and his whole body suddenly became excited, and his eyes suddenly returned to clarity.
"Hey, why did I come out? Didn't I want to ask a question?" He found himself standing outside the door, and he was suddenly confused. "Did I just come out, or did I not go in?"
…
“Master Li, what should we do next?” Sun Xiaohong asked Xiang Nandao.
“Of course I’ll go to the Flower House to find Jiang Nanyue.” Xiang Nan said, “I suspect she’s more than just a singer.”
“How do you say it?” Sun Xiaohong asked curiously.
"A few days before and after the Hubu treasury was stolen, there were no large cars coming or going in or out of the treasury, and there were no signs of someone sneaking into it. This shows that the money was probably moved out a long time ago." Xiang Nan explained, " As the Minister of Household Affairs, Kaneko Hikaru could not have known anything, so I suspect that even if he is not the real murderer, he is probably an accomplice.
And he usually doesn't interact with people. He only goes to Zhuhualou to look for Jiang Nanyue. Therefore, I suspect that Jiang Nanyue must know some secrets. "
Two, five million taels of silver, equivalent to about one hundred and fifty-six thousand, two hundred and fifty catties. The palace's cart, specially used to pull official ingots, was pulled by four large mules, and each cart could only hold two thousand kilograms. In other words, it would take nearly eighty carts to pull it all.
However, in the days before and after Jin Ziguang's disappearance, there were no large vehicles coming or going from the Household Department's warehouse, and there were no signs of thieves sneaking in and stealing. It can be seen from this that this money has probably been moved out long ago.
Jin Ziguang was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was in charge of the treasury. It was impossible for him to be completely unaware of the theft of two million and a half million taels of official silver. Therefore he is either the real murderer or an accomplice.
What's more, Xiang Nan already knew that Jin Ziguang was one of the accomplices in the Kuyin theft case. He secretly colluded with Yun Wang Zhu Rui and planned to usurp the throne.
Jane Ziguang has been providing financial support to King Yun by utilizing the power of the Ministry of Finance. Two and a half million taels of silver had actually been used by them to bribe civil servants, generals, and killers.
But just when King Yun was about to start an uprising, Jin Ziguang was afraid and wanted to withdraw, but was imprisoned by King Yun. He wanted to use Jin Ziguang to blackmail the Queen Mother and get her to support him in usurping the throne.
Because Princess De'an is the biological daughter of the Queen Mother, but the current Emperor Xianzong is not the biological son of the Queen Mother Zhang. For the sake of her daughter's lifelong happiness, Queen Mother Zhang should naturally side with King Yun.
In this way, with the support of the Queen Mother, King Yun's rebellion would be regarded as "famous" and he would have the advantage of public opinion and justice. Coupled with the bribed civil servants, generals, killers and dead soldiers, it will not be difficult for him to rise to power.
“That makes sense.” Sun Xiaohong nodded.
…
The two of them then headed to the Flower House.
Although Qin Lou Chu Pavilion is not open to entertain guests during the day, the two of them are not here to have fun, but to inquire about Jiang Nanyue's affairs, so naturally they will not care about this rule.
After arriving at Shihua Tower, Xiang Nan revealed his identity and hoped to see Jiang Nanyue.
The madam continued to talk nonsense, saying that Jiang Nanyue was still drunk and asked them to come back in the evening.
Xiang Nan threw a big ingot directly, and the madam immediately smiled and stopped talking nonsense, inviting Xiang Nan and Sun Xiaohong to sit in the box first.
Then he went to wake Jiang Nanyue up and asked her to freshen up and get ready to meet the guests.
Jiang Nanyue was not surprised to learn that Li Tanhua wanted to see her. After freshening up, she went to the private room.
“It is said that Xiao Li Tanhua is rich, handsome and charming. Now that we meet him, he is even more famous than before.” When Jiang Nanyue saw Xiang Nan, she smiled and praised him.
"Miss Jiang is so polite." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is also as beautiful as flowers and jade, and the country is beautiful and fragrant. No wonder the prince-in-law is very fond of you."
Jiang Nanyue is indeed beautiful, and her head is covered with pearls and heavy makeup, making her look even more radiant and dazzling.
However, Xiang Nan knew that Jiang Nanyue's true identity was the long-famous demon with three thousand feet of white hair. She has been famous for more than eighty years. In other words, she is simply a witch who is over a hundred years old.
But she didn’t know what kind of martial arts she had practiced, but she was actually good at keeping her appearance. Although she was over a hundred years old, her skin was as fair as snow, and she was still young and beautiful. It was really not easy.
In Xiang Nan’s opinion, this martial art may be better than the Xiaoyao Sect’s Immortality and Changchun Kung Fu.
After all, even Li Xunhuan found it difficult to deal with Baifa Sanqianzhang's martial arts.
Gui Ying'er once stabbed A Fei, Jing Wuming, Shangguan Fei and others with one sword, which shows his high level of swordsmanship. But even such a master is as weak as a child in front of the white-haired Sanqianzhang. The ghost sword technique he had practiced for decades was completely useless in front of others.
From this, it can be seen that the martial arts skills of the three-thousand-foot white hair are really extraordinary and can be said to be unparalleled in the world.
If I have a chance, I really want to take a good look.
"Ms. Li, no one dares to mention the word "consort" in this flower building." Jiang Nanyue said with a change of expression.
"I know this." Xiang Nan nodded, "The Golden Abacus is really clever and solid in concealing it. However, there is no airtight wall in the world, and someone will still know about it. Even if you don't come, someone else will come sooner or later."
"It seems that Mr. Li is not here to have fun." Jiang Nanyue said seriously.
“Although it’s called ‘seeking happiness’, it’s always troublesome.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“That little girl won’t accompany me anymore.” Jiang Nanyue’s expression changed and she stood up and said.
