Prince Su Shu saw his father's angry look.
He stepped forward and asked for orders: "My father has entrusted this case to my son, and I will investigate it to the end.
Whether this case is a coincidence or something truly fishy, I will fight it to the end. "
Prince Su Shu would find a way to investigate the case strictly even if his father believed the investigation.
He is responsible for investigating this case, and the mastermind behind the scenes also uses weird means that can be seen through at a glance to cover up the truth.
The mastermind behind this case is humiliating Prince Su Shu.
If this case is not investigated clearly, it will be a stain on the life of Prince Su Shu.
Emperor Su He heard that Prince Su Shu took the initiative to invite him.
He also believes that this case is likely to be widely involved, and the people behind the scenes will be emboldened.
When Prince Su Shu investigates the case, he can investigate the case to the end without worrying about the influence of factors outside the case.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to investigate the case, Prince Su Shu learned about the situation in remote areas.
This is also an effective training for Prince Su Shu's abilities.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi immediately stepped forward to support: "Your Majesty, we also believe in the prince's ability and will be able to investigate this case."
Qian Mingyi saw that Prince Su Shu had the idea of investigating the case personally, and he gave him a boost.
Other ministers spoke one after another to support Prince Su Shu in investigating the case.
Some people just follow the crowd and have no extra thoughts.
Some people want to get rid of Prince Su Shu. It will take a long time to investigate complex cases.
When Prince Su Shu leaves the emperor's side, other princes will have more opportunities.
Emperor Su He saw that the ministers were supporting Prince Su Shu in investigating the case.
Prince Su Shu's ability to investigate cases was recognized by the officials.
He does have a very keen intuition in this regard.
Emperor Su He looked at Prince Su Shu and issued an order: "Prince, you are responsible for finding out the causes and consequences of the disappearance of the cargo ship.
I give you Shangfang's sword and secret order telegraph machine.
Officials of any rank who dare to obstruct the investigation of the case and hold Shang Fang's sword have the power to make decisions on the spur of the moment.
Through the secret order telegraph machine, local garrison cooperation can be mobilized. "
In order to ensure the absolute safety of Prince Su Shu, Emperor Su He asked the army to escort Prince Su Shu.
This is a privilege that no minister can enjoy.
Emperor Su He knew how crazy a certain type of person was, and Prince Su Shu would have been too cruel if he didn't judge the other person well.
If something like burning an imperial envoy really happened, he would regret it extremely.
Emperor Su He asked the local garrison to cooperate with Prince Su Shu, but that was only limited to matters related to the case.
Prince Su Shu wanted to control the army in Nanyang, but he couldn't do it.
After Emperor Su He finished speaking, he motioned to the young eunuch standing aside to get what he said.
The little eunuch was very nimble and immediately understood what Emperor Su He meant, so he took Shang Fang's sword and fought with him. A special telegraph machine with a secret code book.
He gave these two things to Prince Su Shu.
Prince Su Shu said excitedly: "Father, please rest assured that I will definitely be able to find out the circumstances of this case."
He once again promised to get to the bottom of the case, and he could do so without his father's assistance.
Now that I have Shang Fang's sword and secret order telegraph machine in my hand, I don't have to worry about any officials obstructing this case.
Prince Su Shu did not believe that someone could handle such an important case flawlessly.
As long as he can catch a little clue, he will definitely be able to catch the mastermind behind it.
When Prince Su Shu left Qianqing Palace, he did not return to the East Palace, but went to Kunning Palace where the Queen was.
He respected his mother very much, and he wanted to consult her mother's point of view on this case.
He only waited for a moment outside Kunning Palace, and was immediately taken by the female officer to where his mother was.
He saw his mother checking medical records and revising the medical prescriptions recommended in the medical dictionary.
His younger brothers and sisters are all of primary school age, and his mother is also a bit older and has no plans to have another child.
In her spare time, the Queen Mother paid great attention to medical classics, striving to achieve a more perfect state with her hard work.
When Queen Wang Wenjun saw Prince Su Shu coming in, she put down her pen and asked, "Shu'er is so busy, what do you want to see your mother for today?"
The children have grown up and have their own ideas.
There is even a sense of competition between brothers.
Prince Su Shu's status is stable again.
Queen Wang Wenjun rarely interferes with Prince Su Shu's affairs now.
Prince Su Shu explained the current situation clearly in simple language.
"What do you think of this matter? Do you have any suggestions?"
Queen Wang Wenjun thought for a moment and expressed her opinion.
"This is undoubtedly a fire dragon burning the warehouse. My mother has heard of the power of burning oil.
Beijing Hospital has treated Royal Navy servicemen who suffered severe burns.
He was accidentally injured by a kerosene bomb, causing extensive burns all over his body.
When he was hospitalized, he told about the oil bomb fire.
If all the diesel fuel in the ship were to be found, it would be more terrifying than burning the gasoline bombs stored in the entire fleet.
If a ship's diesel really caught fire, the diesel would inevitably float on the sea. It is normal for the fire to last for two or three days.
There was such a raging fire near the route. When Shu'er asked the ship owners, there was no way he wouldn't have any clues.
There are no clues now, which proves that the freighter did not burn.
This incident was by no means an accident caused by negligence, but a problem caused by human factors. "
After listening to Queen Wang Wenjun's analysis, Prince Su Shu stood up in surprise and said gratefully:
"Mother, your advice gives me reassurance.
I am sure that this case is not an accident. There must be some clues in it, and I will definitely be able to find the mastermind behind it. "
After Prince Su Shu finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Mother, do you have any suggestions regarding the investigation of the case?"
Queen Wang Wenjun said: "Shu'er, you have to make your own judgment, but let your subordinates perform better.
Everyone is worthy of suspicion. Don't let go of objects you think are impossible.
Finally, it is not necessarily a bad thing to alert the enemy. "
Prince Su Shu learned a lot after listening to Queen Wang Wenjun's advice.
After paying farewell to his mother, he returned to the East Palace.
He called his wives and informed him that he was about to leave the capital for a while.
He asked his wives to keep a low profile for a while, and to ask the Queen Wang Wenjun if anything happened.
The princes and concubines all knew that the prince had accepted the emperor's appointment and went to the south to investigate the case.
They were unable to stop it and could only accept it.
Prince Su Shu arranged things in the East Palace.
At the same time, he sent a telegram to the investigation team composed of officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate at Zhenhai Port, asking them to collect suspicious clues.
When the investigation team encounters danger, they can seek help from the Royal Navy at Zhenhai Port.
The investigation team conducted a preliminary investigation, and when Prince Su Shu went to Zhenhai Port, he would not have to waste time anymore.
…………………………
Prince Su Shu and his confidants took the Royal Navy's logistics supply ship to Zhenhai Port.
From the treatment given by his father, he inferred that the mastermind behind the scenes was unusual.
He didn't dare to act openly and take a cruise ship to Zhenhai Port.
Who knows if those people will be crazy enough to cause a cruise ship disaster.
The military's logistics supply ship is very comfortable to ride on, and you don't have to worry about safety issues.
Prince Su Shu greatly admired his father's system of dividing civil and military affairs.
No matter how powerful a civilian official is, he cannot control the military.
The disappearance of the cargo ship was obviously not the work of the military.
Even if the mastermind behind the scenes has hands and eyes, and Prince Su Shu is riding on a military warship, there is nothing he can do.
Prince Su Shu was not idle on the warship. He continued to remotely control the investigation team at Zhenhai Port.
At the same time, through the telegraph network of navigation information, we can find people sailing around on the dates when the freighter may pass by.
This time it was no longer a matter of sending a telegram directly to collect the reward information.
Instead, a fleet of shipping insurance was given as a gift, and the information was initially screened through the telegraph network.
To complete the information transaction, go to the insurance store.
Anyone interested in insurance is a real boat owner.
Even if there are one or two frauds, it is impossible for a large number of ships to be bribed. Through the information of most people, the true scene at that time can be traced back.
The supply ship is still two days away from Zhenhai Port.
Information provided by the Prince Su Shu Comprehensive Investigation Team and the ship owner.
He can basically restore the whole story.
The cargo ship Min 163 is traveling normally. A large number of ship owners have seen the cargo ship with a huge tonnage but slow speed.
It is precisely because of this characteristic of the 10,000-ton cargo ship that once he actually sails on the route and meets his crew, he will never forget it.
Cargo ship Nan 037 and Lu 426 did not appear on the northbound route at all.
When Prince Su Shu saw this result, he was not surprised at all.
The truth of the matter is somewhat similar to the fire dragon burning the warehouse that has always happened in the land of China.
Corrupt officials took out the grain in the warehouse and resold it like a fire dragon burning the warehouse.
When the imperial court inspects it, if the granary is burned down, then death will not be cured.
The 10,000-ton cargo ship did not leave the port at all. The mastermind behind the scenes sent a wooden-shelled cargo ship with a steam engine and some gasoline.
Follow the route of a 10,000-ton cargo ship, find a time period when there are few people, deliberately deviate from the route, and then set the ship on fire.
Only in this way can we explain that from the port to the north, no ship has found any trace of the 10,000-ton cargo ship.
But there were real ships, and a large cargo ship was found on fire at sea.
They tried to get closer and used water cannons to put out the fire, but they were too late to save them.
The cargo ship was burned out in a short time, and only the wooden-hulled ship with a combustion accelerant could complete this task.
The steel hull of a 10,000-ton cargo ship does not burn quickly at all. Even if it explodes, it will leave a certain amount of wreckage.
Prince Su Shu looked at the investigation team and reported some speculative information.
He immediately sent several telegrams to the investigation team.
When he sets foot on the land of Nanyang, he will definitely scare off the enemy.
Prince Su Shu looked towards the south and said: "If you don't be surprised, I will follow the clues and catch you all.
You are shocked, as long as you move, your tail will be exposed.
The dragnet has been laid, waiting for the prey to take the bait. "
…………………………
In Temasek, the capital of Nanyang, a five-story building was filled with smoke, and I remembered a few hoarse voices.
"Ahem, this cigarette is really choking. I'm not used to it at all."
A man wearing a third-grade official uniform threw his cigarette into the ashtray, looked at the people opposite and said: "We only smoke here, and our throats are hoarse, but it has no effect at all.
Prince Su Shu is about to come to Nanyang to investigate the case, and we should find a strategy to deal with it.
We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, and we should work together to find ways to solve problems. "
A fat man with a black face leaned towards the seat in the back, spread his hands and said: "Mr. Wu, you usually have the most ideas, can you come up with a good idea now to solve this matter?
Ordinary officials, relying on our ability and background, can fool us.
The most they can do is to throw out a few scapegoats to satisfy those officials' desire to be the masters of Qingtian.
As long as the case is solved, they will have no reason to stay in Nanyang.
The prince is a person who must retaliate against others, and his status is extraordinary.
If we throw out a scapegoat, it may not stop Prince Su Shu from continuing the investigation.
Otherwise, we will just do nothing. "
Before the black-faced fat man finished speaking, Mr. Wu immediately slammed the table and said angrily: "The matter has not been leaked yet, and we still have a chance to turn around.
Once we attack Prince Su Shu, we will not be able to escape the empire's blow, even if we run to the ends of the earth.
Although the world is big, there is no place for us.
Regarding the two freighters, I still have the same idea as before.
Try to make it as real as possible, find a few scapegoats, and let Prince Su Shu satisfy the joy of investigating the case and go back happily.
Prince Su Shu is protected by the military.
The people in the investigation team have the military standing by to look after them, and our people can't take action at all.
How can we now take action against Prince Su Shu?
Now depending on the situation, there is a high possibility of being fooled.
Once we take action against Prince Su Shu, our chances of success will be slim, and we will face a severe blow from the military. "
The oldest man in the room, an old man with a white beard wearing silk, kept tapping the ground with his cane.
“That person Li Gong is really too shrewd.
He married his daughter to the prince, attached himself to the Huang family, and immediately left Nanyang.
He handed over all the Nanyang properties to his family members.
Otherwise, if Li Gong also joins us, the Crown Prince will not be able to be cruel to us if he doesn't look at the face of strangers and the face of Buddha.
I have warned you before that when we are in the smuggling business, we must not be too arrogant.
It's better to make a fortune quietly and not cause too much trouble.
Now that the matter has no end, I support Xiao Wu's opinion and find a few scapegoats first.
See if you can fool things through. If you can't, then find a way to escape from Nanyang.
We are all cunning people, and I believe we all have ways to save our lives. "
The fat man with black face looked at the old man and said disdainfully: "Old Huangtou, you are a full man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry.
With so many plantations in your family, the missing accounts can be easily settled.
My background is so shallow, and I can't use official power to prevent the news from leaking out.
I just sold some diesel at a high price to settle my account. Who would have thought that winter is the season when typhoons subside.
Suddenly a typhoon broke out, which prevented the subsequent diesel from going northward, causing such a big disturbance.
We are indeed grasshoppers on the same rope, and I can't just rely on me to deal with the aftermath.
You two families should also work harder. The prince is about to come to Nanyang. If the aftermath is not done well, no one will get any good results.
If you don't take care of the consequences, I will be caught by the prince, and my delicate body will not be able to withstand the torture.
It would be embarrassing if I confessed it to you at that time. "
The official surnamed Wu and the old man were helpless when they saw the fat man with a black face looking like a scoundrel, and they could only agree to deal with the aftermath together.
At that time, they joined forces for smuggling, and the agreement they made was that whoever caused the problem would deal with the consequences.
But if we don't take care of the consequences now, every family will be in big trouble.
They decided to work together to deal with the aftermath, and their powerful power immediately burst out.
The most important state-owned transportation companies and Zhenhai Port Customs have undergone some changes. (End of chapter)
