In the next few days, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha invited Song Qiyun and Jin Miaomiao to thoroughly study the information given by His Highness Prince Ning.
Although the wooden box is not big, it contains everything the Chi family has done over the years. It is very detailed. It can be seen that His Highness Prince Ning has worked hard. He made in-depth research based on his own memory. During the investigation, he dug out many hidden stories.
After sorting out these stories, the true face of the Chi family was revealed bit by bit, and the image of a traitor who appeared to be honest and honest on the surface but was actually hidden in Daxia and cheating on others emerged vividly on the page.
They did not go directly to confront Mr. Chi Ge and Mr. Chi. Instead, they took the clues they had compiled and went into the palace to meet Song Jue.
After reading these conclusive evidences, Song Jue unexpectedly did not get angry. Instead, he was very calm. He accepted the result very calmly and calmly let Shen Haolin and Shen Cha continue the trial, no matter what was involved. People, we have to find them out.
"Since this case has been handed over to you, you should take responsibility for it. No matter what happens, I will support you and stand by your side." Song Jue looked at the folders spread out on the table and sighed quietly. , looked at Shen Haolin and smiled bitterly, "What's fortunate is that we were too naughty when we were young and were given up by Mr. Chi Ge, otherwise..."
"Hey, if you are naughty, don't drag me with you. I was forced to." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows at Song Jue, "Xiaobai and I were both dragged into the trap by you and Uncle Ning. We really want to have a good relationship." I am a student, but unfortunately there are two people around me who like to skip school."
"Luckily there are two of us, otherwise, wouldn't you feel very uncomfortable today?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, Shen Haolin snorted coldly, "He is also very embarrassed now. He used his status as a lecturer in the East Palace to fool a lot of people outside. This time Most of the people and students didn't believe it when the Dong Chuang Incident happened, and those kids from Taixue would have been protesting at the palace gate if it weren't for the Taixue gentlemen and the adults at home suppressing them."
"The other two academies were more interested in watching the fun, and some of them took the initiative to go to Mr. Fu Yin to report Mr. Chi Ge, and even produced evidence of their dealings with Mr. Chi."
"Evidence of dealings?" Song Jue looked at Shen Cha, "What kind of evidence of dealings? At most, they are doing business with Chi Er. What's wrong with that?"
"Second Young Master Chi, although he comes from a noble and scholarly family, he has no mercy when it comes to cheating people when doing business." Shen Cha sighed heavily, "Those few people were tricked by him very miserably. Not to mention it was a good deal, but the price was ridiculously high, but for Mr. Chige’s sake, they didn’t pursue it, and they didn’t continue to do business with Mr. Chi.”
"The eldest young master of the Qing family is right. The reputation of all the shops owned by Second Young Master Chi has been ruined by himself. Even if they change owners, it will take a lot of time and a lot of money to restore them." Shen Haolin Then he added, "Although he bought the silk and satin shop from Master Chi Er at a not-high price, it is hard to say how much money he will spend to restore the reputation of that silk and satin shop in the future. This is What he said was that he could earn 20 taels originally, but now he can only earn 2 taels, and he might even lose money."
"It's not easy for Uncle Xiaohui. Although he has the title of an imperial businessman, he doesn't get the slightest benefit from his decline." Song Jue also sighed, then picked up the Chi family's property list that was put aside and looked at it carefully. After reading it again, "It's still... not quite right!"
"What's wrong?"
"Chi Er has been in business for several years, right? With his character, it's absolutely impossible for him to lose money, right?"
"Yeah!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodded at the same time, "How can we compensate? It's a small amount of cheating on others, even if it is found out by conscience, we should be grateful."
"So, how is it possible that their family only has such a small amount of property?" Song Jue shook the two pieces of paper in his hand, "In addition to the large bank note that is missing, there should be other items with similar amounts. However, this list cannot be reflected at all. What is listed above is only what a normal noble family should have. But the Chi family is different, they do business. "
"We also realized this. Mr. Chi Er is not a person who suffers losses. He must have accumulated a lot of money over the years, but we did not find this money. After thinking of this, we followed the commander... " Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng, who had been silent, and nodded slightly, "I went to Chi Mansion and brought a lot of people with me to search it up and down, inside and out, let alone I dug three feet into the ground and almost demolished the house, but nothing was dug out from inside. It can be seen that there is indeed nothing extra in the house..."
Shen Cha stopped here. She frowned tightly. After thinking for a while, she suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong?" Shen Haolin was startled and quickly reached out to support her, "What did you think of?"
"found it!"
"What did you find?"
"I probably know where their property is." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "Brother, I still remember that there was a cellar in Chi Mansion. There was nothing in it. We still thought it was strange, but I just thought about it seriously. It’s not like there’s nothing, it’s just that we didn’t find it.”
"To put it simply." Song Jue's curiosity was piqued by Shen Cha, "What's in there?"
"Gold bricks."
"What?" Everyone looked surprised, "Are you sure?"
"Very sure." Shen Cha's tone was extremely certain, "If I guessed correctly, the wall of the cellar should be made of gold bricks."
