There were indeed too many poor people in this case five years ago. He wanted to investigate this case, but now was not the time, and he could not determine the relationship between this case and Song Huaide's murder. Even if he wanted to investigate, he could not. There is no good starting point or opportunity to start.
He coughed lightly and said calmly: "It's impossible to determine the relationship between the case five years ago and Song Huaide's murder. It's better to put it aside for the time being and do our best to investigate Song Huaide's murder."
Yao Yao raised his eyebrows noncommittally. Song Huaide's murder case had been handed over to the Department of Internal Health and had nothing to do with her. She would not tell him how to investigate it as he wanted.
Han Changmu looked at Yao Yao's expression carefully. He didn't see any anger on her face, only sarcasm. He didn't say much, but there was a hint of calmness in his eyes: "I want the files on this case five years ago. Take it away and take a closer look.”
"Okay, Mr. Han will go to the filing room to get the files later." Yao Yao was not surprised at all by Han Changmu's request. When she mentioned the case, she also had the intention of using Han Changmu's power to reverse the case. After all, she was the only one who Alone and weak, it is impossible to fight against the Song family.
Han Changmu looked at Yao Yao's back that melted into the sunshine, his eyes darkened. He was afraid that he would have to investigate, what is the relationship between Yao Yao and the people involved in this case five years ago, and why he was interested in this case. So interested.
Not long after, Yao Yao walked in with He Dengglou holding a file.
He Denglou smiled respectfully and said, "Young Envoy, the seats for the Cao family's dining room have been reserved."
Han Changmu nodded and thanked him.
Yao Yao calmly put the file in Han Changmu's hands. The two of them had a tacit understanding and neither of them mentioned the case five years ago again.
Han Changmu continued to read the files on Song Huaide's murder case. While reading, he asked He Dengglou thoughtfully: "Are there no suspicions about anyone who was with Song Huaide on the night of the crime?"
He Denglou hesitated for a moment, with a troubled expression on his face, and said hesitantly: "On the night of the incident, Song Huaide, Li Yuan, and Wang Zhong had a banquet with Hua Niang at Fenghe Garden. During the dinner, Song Huaide drank too much and said He went to the toilet, but he never went back until the murder happened."
Han Changmu frowned slightly, pointed at the file and said, "Why is there only a record of interrogating Li Yuan in the file, but not a record of interrogating Wang Zhong?"
He Denglou was even more embarrassed. It was not that he didn't want to ask, but that he couldn't see the man named Wang Zhong at all.
He hesitated, as if he was talking about something very embarrassing and embarrassing: "Um, I can't see Wang Zhong in my humble position, how can I ask!!"
"Oh, what's going on? Tell me slowly." Han Changmu said in surprise.
"That Wang Zhong, he, he is the godson of the palace chamberlain Wang Gonggong. As soon as something happened to Song Huaide, his humble position detained the two people who were drinking wine with him. Before he could inquire, the Wang Gonggong Send someone to pick up Wang Zhong." He Dengguan's face was extremely ugly, he was run over by a eunuch, and he had no shame to see anyone in those few days.
Yao Yao quit and became angry all of a sudden. He jumped up and cursed: "A member of the eunuch faction picked him up. He Denglou, can you be more useful?"
He Denglu was also aggrieved. He was beaten. He couldn't fight back after being beaten. Before he could explain, he said with a bitter look on his face: "Boss Yao, I stopped you, but I can't stop you. I was even beaten up by someone, and the people who came said that Eunuch Wang was the chief eunuch of Ye Ting and a confidant of Concubine Li, who could offend him."
Yao Yao opened his mouth. Although Concubine Li is no longer favored by the saint, she was once favored and fell in love with each other. What's more, Concubine Li is still in charge of the affairs of the saint's harem. Even the favored Xian Concubine, you have to bow when you see her. With such a background, He Denggou's beating was in vain.
Yao Yao turned to look at Han Changmu. A saint is a saint, and he is very wise. Only by handing this case over to the Department of Internal Health and letting Han Changmu, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, investigate, can the truth be revealed.
Han Changmu frowned and said, "So you haven't seen Wang Zhong since the incident until now?"
He Denggou nodded sadly: "Yes, after asking around in my humble position, I learned from Li Yuan that Wang Zhong was actually the nephew of the prince, and he was adopted to the prince to pass on the incense of his lineage. He paused and continued: "I also found out that the prince had a house in Chongyifang. Wang Zhong was hiding in the house, but I went there several times and didn't even get in."
Han Changmu's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.
With Wang Zhong's behavior, it would be easy if he was really the perpetrator. I'm afraid he was just an insider, but he knew exactly what he wanted to hide and keep silent.
Han Changmu knew that He Denggou's knowledge of the case was limited, and he couldn't find out anything if he asked again. He collected the two volumes of files, completed the handover with Yao Yao, went to thank Liu Jinghong, and left Jingzhao Mansion.
With Han Changmu's smooth return to Beijing, the undercurrent that had been surging in the court for several months finally turned over to the bright side.
At the court meeting, Han Changmu handed over a copy of the missing salary case. This case was extremely involved. Emperor Yong'an was furious, gasping for breath, and smashed several white jade paperweights. Without making a conclusion on the case on the spot, he asked The great eunuch Gao Fuguo shouted and retreated.
Emperor Yong'an withdrew from the court, but Han Changmu had no place to hide. He was surrounded by Zheng Bin, the Minister of War, and Jiang Shen, the elder of the Pavilion, who were all trying to find out the details of the case.
Han Changmu was not afraid of being surrounded by people. No matter how they tried to talk to them or pressed them, he could only say indifferently, "Ask the saint if you have anything to do", and then he would beat these people to the point of vomiting blood.
Ge Lao Jiang Shen rolled his eyes, the wrinkles on his face trembled three times, and his hands trembled with anger: "Boy Han, you, you, you dare to do this."
Han Changmu had an indifferent look on his face, pursed his lips and remained silent. If he asked an urgent question, he would just say the same thing, just ask the saint if you have anything.
Everyone was at their wits end. Prince Han was like a tender piece of tofu. He couldn't be hit or scolded. He fell to the ground and got dust on him. He couldn't even be patted. Only Jiang Shen, relying on his seniority, could point at his nose and yell. A few words.
Han Changmu pushed aside the crowd and walked out of the hall. When the morning light greeted his eyes, he closed his eyes.
This court will not be stable for long.
Not long after leaving the court, Emperor Yong'an summoned Han Changmu back for questioning. At that time, only Gao Fuguo was serving in the palace. He was always a strict man. What the emperor and his ministers said was not revealed at all. They only knew this question. After asking for several hours, even lunch was served in the palace.
At the court meeting the next day, Emperor Yong'an's spirit was obviously much better, and his depressed mood was dissipated. With a stroke of his pen and a jade seal, he issued several decrees in succession, causing an uproar in the court.
Naturally, the first imperial edict was to praise Han Changmu vigorously, praising him for his great contribution to solving the case of missing salary during his trip, and bestowing numerous rewards on him.
The next few decrees were fierce instructions. The Ministry of War, the Ordnance Supervisor, and the Department of Internal Security were all spared, and they were all scolded by the instructions.
What's strange is that although this decree contains strong words, there are no actual punishments, let alone demotions and arrests. Even the commonly used fines are not involved.
The case of missing salary was a shocking and huge case. It caused such a big mistake. Just a few curses did not hurt the muscles or bones. The saint's actions were clearly that he lifted them up high and put them down gently, intending to let these people go. , This is completely inconsistent with Emperor Yong'an's cruel and ruthless methods.
With such a decree, the officials standing in the court began to become more active. After retreating from the court, the officials who were good friends with each other began to make necessary inquiries and contacts.
Some people even suspected that Emperor Yong'an had a better temper because he was older, but they thought about it again. Emperor Yong'an showed no mercy when he committed crimes in Qiu Jue. How could his behavior change drastically in just a few months? .
After thinking about it, many people couldn't sleep that night. When they woke up early the next morning, many people had white hair sprouting on their heads.
Emperor Yong'an ignored the speculations of the courtiers. He wished that these people would suffer from insomnia and die suddenly if they couldn't sleep, saving him the trouble of doing it himself.
After he dealt with the matters on the surface, he sat with a sullen expression, breathed heavily for a long time, picked up the white jade paperweight and smashed it down.
Gao Fuguo calmly took out another white jade paperweight and placed it on the table, saying in a low voice: "Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important."
Emperor Yong'an narrowed his eyes, his eyes were slightly cold, and he comforted himself: "Just let them live for a while, and their deaths will be more ugly in the future."
Gao Fuguo sincerely comforted Emperor Yong'an: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. With Master Han's methods, they will not die easily."
Emperor Yong'an took a slow breath, turned his eyes and glared at Gao Fuguo, and asked: "Have you found out the origins of the two girls who came to Beijing with Jiuchao?"
Gao Fuguo was very skillful and neat in his actions. What's more, when Han Changmu came to Beijing, he did not deliberately hide Qingqian, nor did he intentionally create a false identity for her. Not to mention Yao Yao, who was in the government office. As long as the officials who have passed the Ming Road want to investigate, there is nothing they can't find out.
In just one night, their identities were clearly revealed by Gao Fuguo.
He bowed and whispered, clearly explaining the identities of Yao Yao and Qing Qian one by one. After speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Emperor Yong'an.
Emperor Yong'an had a very unkind look on his face. He tapped the desk with his finger and said thoughtfully: "Jiu Chao has never been an impatient person. How could he suddenly become interested in a brothel girl and spend a lot of money to redeem her and bring her back?" Beijing, this is to give her a clear identity."
Gao Fuguoying claimed: "Your Majesty is wise. This old slave intercepted the letter sent by Mr. Han to Jiannan Road and copied a copy. Your Majesty, please read it."
He held a piece of thin paper in both hands and handed it to Emperor Yong'an respectfully.
