Tao Ruolin didn't drive, so naturally Chu Qing couldn't find any evidence.
I couldn't find any evidence, so I could only continue talking about business.
Chen Yan seemed to have great trust in Tao Ruolin and did not hide anything. He told the truth about Qu Mingtong's affairs, the Li family's affairs, and the King of Wu's affairs, no matter how big or small.
Chu Qing and Chang Xian were both surprised. They were surprised as to why Chen Yan trusted Tao Ruolin so much. What surprised them even more was that Tao Ruolin did not show any shock or uneasiness after hearing this.
In addition, Chen Yan also mentioned the reason why the emperor made Chu Qing the deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion.
It was probably to create an illusion. At the beginning, Chu Qing was not targeting the King of Wu, but was targeting the accounts. He investigated Xiao County and involved the Li Mansion. Later, he would involve the King of Wu to prevent the outside world from mistakenly thinking that the emperor was targeting the King of Wu.
Although the second battle of the Eight Dragons was very dramatic, after all, the Tian family was at war with each other and hurt each other. Huang Lao and the Four Elements were not the crown prince, so he was in the wrong position. After he ascended the throne, he had to launch a purge to target the other princes. It is not conducive to the imperial rule of a new king.
After fully informing the situation, Chen Yan looked at Tao Ruolin and asked seriously: "Miss Tao, what do you think is the biggest risk of Chu Qing leading this investigation against King Wu?"
"The biggest risk is that Mr. Chu leads the investigation?" Tao Ruolin pondered for a moment and said, "That is that Mr. Chu leads the investigation this time."
Chu Qing: "..."
Tao Ruolin smiled brightly at Chu Qing: "Mr. Chu, please don't misunderstand me."
"No?" Chu Qing waited for a long time: "Then, shouldn't you tell me not to misunderstand and then explain?"
"Explain what?"
"never mind."
Chu Qing felt that he was despised.
But then I thought about it, Tao Ruolin is not a venomous person, and her analysis is right. The most fearful thing is for laymen to guide experts. Qianqiying is professional in investigating cases, but if she really wants to let herself, a layman, manage a group of experts to do professional things , it is easy to become a bad person.
Tao Ruolin, who was clearly an outsider, stood up and said as if she was the decision-maker: "Qianqiying went to Xiao County to track down the private ordnance store, and then allocate some people to investigate Li Sen. In addition, go Yaxing, to obtain slave registration, how many refugees have entered the capital since King Wu left, and which mansion they entered."
After a pause, Tao Ruolin continued like a calm general: "These dead soldiers of the King of Wu pretending to be refugees are not trying to get along with the courtiers, so they will find ways to leave after being bought into a minister's mansion in the capital. Start screening them one by one from here. Don’t alert the snake. After confirming the identity, keep an eye on them secretly. If you catch them, they will catch them all. Don’t give them a chance to inform them. There are thousands of refugees in the southern suburbs of the city, so you should go there too. Investigate.”
Chen Yan stood up and cupped his hands towards Tao Ruolin: "I'll make arrangements right away."
Without any objection, Chen Yan said that and then went to tell other Qianqi Camp to explore the horses.
Chu Qing and Chang Xian had different expressions, and they both looked at Tao Ruolin.
The latter was wondering who Tao Ruolin was and why Chen Yan trusted and obeyed her arrangements so much, while Chu Qing was thinking about Tao Ruolin's measurements.
Noticing the gazes of the two of them, Tao Ruolin looked at Chu Qing, her smile still so harmless.
"Vice Commander Chu, do you think I have arranged this?"
Chu Qing stood up, smiled slightly, and pretended to be B: "It coincides with each other!"
Tao Ruolin smiled even sweeter: "How do you say that?"
Chu Qing: "The hearts are connected."
Tao Ruolin chuckled and nodded repeatedly: "That's a tacit understanding."
"Mr. Chu, why don't we go to the southern suburbs and have a look?"
"Uh... yes, go to the south of the city." Chu Qing stood up and waved his hand: "Elbow, go to the southern suburbs."
In this way, Chu Qing, Tao Ruolin, Fu San, Chen Yan, Changxian, Bihua, plus a group of Qianqiying gangsters and palace gangsters led by Tong Gui, a group of more than fifty people rushed to the southern suburbs.
But after leaving the government office, Chu Qing's face looked like a donkey's.
Everyone was riding in a carriage, two carriages, Chen Yan, Tao Ruolin, and Bihua rode together, Chu Qing, Fu San, and Chang Xian rode in another carriage, and the others rode on their legs.
After getting on the carriage, Chu Qing cursed.
"With no sense of shame, the world is declining, Chen Yan, a shameless person, rides with a woman, this old pervert, a sanctimonious hypocrite!"
Changxian glanced at Chu Qing silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Fu San followed and scolded: "Young master is right. That statement is not true. He pretends to be the head of the Household Department, but is actually the deputy commander of Qianqiying. What a hypocrite. Bah."
When Chu Qing thought that Chen Yan might be working as a dog licker in another carriage with a dirty look like an old pervert, Chu Qing had a look of displeasure on his face.
Looking sideways at Changxian, Chu Qing asked, "Your Highness, how come Chen Yan still knows Tao Ruolin?"
"The students don't know either."
"How could you not know? Isn't Chen Yan the number one scoundrel in your royal family?"
"That's true... No, it's true that Commander Chen is the deputy commander of Qianqiying. However, he only interacts with his father alone in the palace on weekdays. The students don't know much about him. They only know that his father has great trust in Commander Chen. As for Tao The eldest lady of the mansion, the students are even more..."
Halfway through speaking, Changxian suddenly moved slightly.
Chu Qing shouted quickly: "What have you thought of? What have you thought of? What's wrong with the eldest daughter of the Tao family? What are her measurements... No, what is the eldest daughter of the Tao family like? What kind of man does she like?"
Changxian hesitated for a moment, but he knew everything about Chu Qing, and said in an uncertain tone: "When King Wu competed with his father for the throne, there was a lot of chance of winning, but Donghaizhou, who King Wu relied on as his right-hand man, The division commander and the prime minister both left the court because of the eldest daughter of the Tao family. The student is thinking...could it be a coincidence?"
Chu Qing's pupils narrowed: "You mean, these two people were plotted against, by Tao Ruolin and Chen Yan?"
"The students don't know either." Chang Xian could lower his voice a little: "The students only know that the Tao Mansion did not support his father as rumored by the outside world, but was on good terms with the King of Wu. Master Chu also heard it just now. Many years ago, Master Tao once took the eldest daughter of the Tao family to visit King Wu in his fief."
Chu Qing nodded subconsciously: "Yes, Tao Ruolin just said that she and Tao Yao once went to Prince Wu's Mansion, and that's when she started driving."
“What’s the point of driving?”
"fine."
Chu Qing fell into deep thought. If the relationship was not good, how could he take his daughter to visit the prince's palace? But according to Tao Ruolin's behavior, she did not like King Wu the first time she went to the prince's palace.
Then combined with what Changxian said, the Tao family did not support today's emperor at the beginning.
Suddenly, Chu Qing had a guess.
At that time, Tao Yao supported King Wu, but Tao Ruolin did not.
But without support, how could Tao Ruolin marry the direct son and grandson of King Wu?
In addition, Chen Yan has such trust in Tao Ruolin and they have known each other for a long time. Is it possible that the unlucky situation between the two of them, when one capsized and the other was trampled to death by a horse, was not an accident, but a secret plan by Tao Ruolin and Chen Yan?
Chu Qing's feelings for Tao Ruolin became complicated again.
What kind of woman is this eldest lady of Tao Mansion?
For a moment, Chu Qing had complicated thoughts.
He knew his own strengths and weaknesses, but he couldn't tell the depth of Tao Ruolin.
