Xue Ju sighed, with a complicated look in his eyes, and said: "I don't know how to explain this matter, let Mr. Xie do it!"
Xie Yunxiao collected his thoughts and said: "Master Du, I will definitely find out about your case, but I need to know the details of this case!"
"Mr. Xie is investigating the case?" Du Xin frowned slightly, feeling a little angry in his heart. Everyone in Ningguo knew Xie Yunxiao's identity.
Xue Ju smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to explain it.
Xie Yunxiao said: "I know what Mr. Du is worried about. If I investigate this case, I do have my own purpose, but I will never ask Mr. Du to do anything!"
Du Xin originally thought that Xie Yunxiao helped him find out the case and asked him to side with the eldest prince, but when he heard this, he was doubtful.
Xue Ju said at this time: "Brother Du, don't worry, I can testify to what Mr. Xie said. If I hadn't been helpless in this case, I would not have agreed to let Mr.
Du Xin naturally trusted Xue Ju, and after thinking for a moment, he understood something.
"Mr. Xie is really good at calculating!" Du Xin said.
Xie Yunxiao did not deny that as long as this case was investigated, it would only benefit him and Qin Zheng. In addition, he also had other ideas.
Xie Yunxiao has already been honest with Xue Ju and Du Xin about what should be frank. As for other things that have nothing to do with these two people, there is no need to say anything more to them.
"No matter what I do or what I plan, to be honest, I hope there will be more ministers like Lord Du and Lord Xue in the court!"
Xie Yunxiao had a sincere look on his face, which Du Xin and Xue Ju could both see. Xie Yunxiao spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Xue Ju and Du Xin looked at me and I looked at you. They didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Master Du, please tell me the whole story of this case, as detailed as possible!" Xie Yunxiao's voice rang out.
When Du Xin heard this, there was a complex look in his eyes and he nodded.
"It's the end of the year now, and all the taxes paid by counties and counties are being put into the treasury one by one. Among them, there is a sum of 300,000 taels of gold, which was put into the treasury at this time. When it was put into the treasury, I personally saw it. Yes, but within a few days, while Lord Gan, the imperial censor, was inspecting the officials, Chu Dongshan reported to the old man, saying that the old man had embezzled a sum of 300,000 taels of gold that had been put into the treasury!"
"I have been innocent all my life, how could I allow Chu Dongshan to set up a trap? I immediately reported it to the king and asked the king to send someone over. They went to the treasury with Mr. Gan and Chu Dongshan to confront each other. I never thought that the three hundred thousand taels of gold would It really disappeared out of thin air!”
Du Xin had a look of sadness on his face, that was three hundred thousand taels of gold, how could he just disappear after saying he didn't see it?
Xie Yunxiao originally wanted to get some useful clues from Du Xin's narration, but before Du Xin finished speaking, he discovered that even he himself was completely confused about what happened in the case.
If this were not the case, with Xue Ju's ability, how could he be helpless?
"How many keys do the treasury have in total?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
"Three keys, three doors. For the sake of safety, the three keys are not in the hands of one person, but are kept by three people. The key in the old man's hand is for the last door, and this door is also the most solid existence!"
"In other words, there are two other keys!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Du Xin nodded: "Yes, but even if they can open the two doors, there is absolutely no reason to open the last door in my hand, not to mention that the locks of the three doors have no trace of being opened!"
"Are there any other clues in the treasury?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
Du Xin frowned and shook his head: "There is no clue!"
Xie Yunxiao was silent for a while, looked at Xue Ju, and said: "I want to go to the treasury to have a look!"
If the three hundred thousand taels of gold were really missing from the treasury, then the treasury was the scene of the crime.
Investigating a case requires bold assumptions and careful verification. The crime scene is an indispensable part of the careful verification process.
Just because Xue Ju and Du Xin didn't find any clues doesn't mean that Xie Yunxiao couldn't find any clues.
"Now these three keys are not all in my hand. I only have one. The one for the last door is in the king's hand. The other two are, one is with me and the other is in the hand of the Prime Minister!" Xue Ju's face was full of helplessness.
Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly when he heard this. The key in Prince Ning's hand, with Qin Zheng here, would be difficult to get right and wrong.
If Yu Buwei talks to Prince Ning, he can get this one in his hand, but it will inevitably scare the snake away.
As a result, this case will be difficult to investigate.
"Master Xue's key is fine. I'll find a solution for the other two!" Xie Yunxiao said.
When Xue Ju heard this, his eyes flickered slightly. He believed that Xie Yunxiao had such ability.
After exchanging a few words, Xie Yunxiao left Tingwei Mansion and returned to Zhuoyuan. Qin Zheng had returned.
Because King Ning was happy, Qin Zheng, Zhao Yu and his son had dinner with him and walked around the palace for a while, so they came back a little late.
If Xie Yunxiao wants to get the most critical key in Prince Ning's hands, he needs Qin Zheng's help.
Based on King Ning's current liking for Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng is confident that he can get it.
Xie Yunxiao felt that this matter could not be done without telling Prince Ning, so he decided to enter the palace with Qin Zheng after dawn.
Qin Zheng's mansion has not yet been repaired, so he lives in the Humble Garden for the time being and goes to the palace every day. This is King Ning's request. Over time, Qin Zheng became accustomed to running back and forth between the Humble Garden and the palace.
This is a lake in the palace with excellent scenery and a water pavilion on the edge.
At this time, Xie Yunxiao, Qin Zheng, and Prince Ning were all inside. Xie Yunxiao's future intentions were clear. Prince Ning couldn't help but look at Xie Yunxiao and asked: "If I give you the key, do you know what it means?"
How could Xie Yunxiao not know? If King Ning really gave him the key, it meant that King Ning had already made his choice in inheriting the throne.
"Your Majesty, the common people feel that you cannot make a decision because of these. The most important thing is to ask the king to keep it secret. This way, the courtiers will not guess anything, and it will also help the common people investigate the case!" Xie Yunxiao said sincerely.
Prince Ning suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Xie is indeed an extraordinary person. Well, I promise you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Yunxiao saluted.
Prince Ning waved his hand, and then with a sharp light in his eyes, he said: "After investigating this case, I also want to see who has the courage to frame the ministers of the DPRK!"
Xie Yunxiao thought to himself, isn't he one of your other two precious sons?
Does Prince Ning know some secrets? But he didn't say it?
"Why are you thinking about these useless things? It's better to get the key from Yu Buwei's hand first!" Xie Yunxiao made a decision secretly in his heart.
"Without my order, you can get the key from Xue Ju, but from the Prime Minister's place... I am very curious, how on earth are you going to get it!"
Prince Ning looked at Xie Yunxiao with an inexplicable look in his eyes. The majesty of a king was fully revealed at this moment.
Xie Yunxiao said that Prince Ning should keep this matter secret, which means that Xie Yunxiao will obtain the other two keys with his own skills.
"How to get the key, I can't explain it in a few words, and it's impossible to have a fixed method, but the king is waiting for good news!" Xie Yunxiao said.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news!" Prince Ning had a smile on his face and a look of expectation in his eyes.
Xie Yunxiao and Qin Zheng came out of the palace and returned to the humble garden. After sitting down, Qin Zheng said: "Master, there must be something wrong with that Chu Dongshan. Why should we add Chu Dongshan here?"
"This may be a gap, but as everyone can see, the enemies of the layout have probably erased the useful things long ago. If we start from Chu Dongshan, I'm afraid we won't get too many useful things. It will be a waste of time!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Qin Zhengdao: "Could it be that Xue Ju has already started from Chu Dongshan and there is no harvest, so the master said so?"
"Chu Dongshan is currently mixed with Gan Chenlan. The Gan family wants to protect him. Without the king's will, I am afraid that Chu Dongshan will not even be able to see him!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Qin Zheng pondered for a while and said, "If that's the case, could it be that the Gan family is planning all this?"
"It's not obvious that the Gan family must have some ideas about how to deal with Su Neishi's position, and Chu Dongshan's report at this time can just achieve the goal. In this way, they will naturally protect Chu Dongshan!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Qin Zhengdao: "Gan Chenlan is not an ordinary person. Couldn't he see that there is something wrong with Chu Dongshan?"
"Even if they knew there was something wrong with Chu Dongshan, they would still do this because what they want is the position of governing Su Neishi!" Xie Yunxiao said.
"So, Xue Ju has no chance to investigate Chu Dongshan!" Qin Zheng rolled his eyes.
Xie Yunxiao nodded: "Probably not!"
There was a hint of expectation in Qin Zheng's eyes, but he recovered instantly and asked: "Master, when do you plan to get the key from Yu Buwei's hand?"
Xie Yunxiao glanced at Qin Zheng and asked, "When do you think the time is most suitable?"
"Evening!" Qin Zheng replied without hesitation.
Xie Yunxiao smiled lightly and was noncommittal.
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Master, you don't plan to go during the day, do you?"
"Why can't it be during the day?" Qin Zheng asked.
"It's not easy to do anything during the day. There are many people and it's easy to be discovered!" Qin Zheng said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "You all think so, and others must be no exception. So it seems that going to the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day is the right choice!"
"Master, what you taught me is different!" Qin Zheng said.
Xie Yunxiao smiled and said: "You must learn to be flexible!"
"Oh!" Qin Zheng rolled his eyes, wondering what this kid was thinking.
It's almost time to return to Humble Garden. At this time in the deep winter, the sun shines brightly on the world, warmth envelopes the earth, and pedestrians come and go on the streets.
The Humble Garden is located in a quiet area, and people who walk by it only take a few glances at it from afar.
Around Shenshi, Xie Yunxiao left the humble garden after changing his appearance.
Although Yu Buwei is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, his mansion is not the most gorgeous in Xianyang City, and it does not occupy a large area.
From a distance, this looks like an ordinary official's house.
Xie Yunxiao has traveled to and from Xianyang countless times. He has returned with Qin Zheng and has lived in Xianyang for a long time. But today is the first time he has come to the street of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Looking at this mansion that was not very conspicuous among the officials from a distance, Xie Yunxiao's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.
