In the end, An Yibo's charges were firmly established.
He interacted too much with Li Mi and made money for Li Mi in order to revive Li Mi.
Xu Jian has considerable opinions on this case.
He once wrote a letter and mentioned that An Yibo might not even know whether Li Mi was dead or alive or where he was.
Of course, this discount was returned.
The old An Yibo couldn't stand the interrogation again and again, so he hit a wall and died in prison.
There is no way to inquire about Li Mi's whereabouts.
There are also no clues about the origin of the two gold bricks.
But the waves caused by this incident did not disappear. Instead, they grew bigger and bigger, and eventually affected Chengyi Bofu and Xu Jian.
Xu Jian supervised the confiscation of Uncle An Yi's house, which was unfavorable. He fined him a salary and closed his door to think about his mistakes.
An Yibo's in-law Dingbei Hou was implicated, and two gold bricks with traces were also found in the Hou's mansion.
Chengyi's Mansion is adjacent to Dingbeihou's Mansion, and the crimes of "failure to report knowledge" and "harboring evil intentions" are all deducted.
Having reached that point, no one is stupid. They naturally know that in the struggle for imperial power, Luo Zhi's crimes are not the focus. They are all victims.
I went through the old accounts one by one. Thanks to the good foundation of the Lin family, I got a "merciful" result at the end. All the family property was confiscated. Lin Yunyan, who was already married, was also deprived of the title of princess, leaving only the auxiliary princess. identity of.
And Duke Fuguo himself was soon punished again and again...
In the following years, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian have been trying to figure out the ins and outs of these gold bricks.
Does that trace really represent Li Mi?
Maybe the mold just happens to have such a flaw?
Where did An Yibo start? Are the two pieces of Dingbei Hou Mansion related to An Yibo?
It was during the investigation that Xu Jian accidentally learned about the rumor that two boxes of gold bricks had been unearthed in Lao Shi Lane. It had been seven or eight years since Lao Shi Lane was rebuilt, and the two owners had already left the capital with their families.
And Xu Jian was no longer the Duke of Fu, and it was no longer convenient for him to adjust the household registration documents in the Yamen. At that time, there were other things involved...
They really didn't expect that the gold bricks dug out by two humble businessmen would also have traces.
Even if she had to start all over again, Lin Yunyan thought of the gold bricks in Laoshi Lane and classified them as "treasures", money that was not in the accounts, instead of classifying them as the cause of many things in her previous life.
After all, how could a businessman's windfall from building a house and doing business be connected with a commoner prince?
After handing the gold brick back to Xu Jian, Lin Yunyan said: "I'm thinking about a question now."
Xu Jian lowered his eyes and looked at her.
There was no urging or asking questions. He only expressed with his eyes that he was listening and waiting for Lin Yunyan to continue.
Lin Yunyan sorted out her thoughts and said: "Whose are these two boxes of gold bricks originally? Those two businessmen who came to do business in Laoshi Lane, their purpose is also gold bricks, right? Have the people behind them been found?"
As she was speaking, she heard a soft laugh.
Lin Yunyan raised her eyes and looked at the laughing person.
Their eyes met, and the smile in Xu Jian's eyes had not disappeared. He commented slowly: "There are many problems."
Lin Yunyan glanced sideways at him.
She organized her thoughts with questions, but she didn't really want Xu Jian to give corresponding answers.
Xu Jian teased her about what she had just said, and Lin Yunyan said, "Then please choose one answer."
The word "one" is very strong.
In Xu Jian's ears, he could not hear the meaning of gnashing of teeth, but also knew that Lin Yunyan was very dissatisfied with his choice of words.
"The first one, I don't know; the second one, it's an obvious thing, it doesn't matter whether you answer it or not." Xu Jian weighed the gold bricks in his hand, "The third one, nine out of ten, is the British government. Waiting for reference We’ll know who it is when Chen comes back.”
After this, Lin Yunyan was neither angry nor angry. On the contrary, the British government was quite surprised.
At the same time, Shen Chen hid in the corner, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people separated by a wall.
This is a garden in the south of Beijing. It has beautiful flower scenery all year round. No one lives in the main house, so it is often open for people to view the flowers.
The autumn wind has picked up recently, and it is the season of chrysanthemums.
The chrysanthemums in the garden are only half in bloom, and there are not many people enjoying the flowers. Especially in this area, there are only a few pots of flowers, so no one comes here.
The businessman Shen Chen was following was named Li Yuanfa, and the person he met Li Yuanfa came from the other side. In order to hide his figure, Shen Chen did not see the person on the other side.
"There's something wrong with that guy named Gao!" Li Yuanfa muttered, "I sent those two brothers to court without saying a word. Master, do you think he knew there was something in the ground?"
"Impossible, there was no leak at all! What's their condition now?"
Li Yuanfa replied: "They want to dig it all out now, and they say they have to reinforce it. They started working on it yesterday."
"This is not surprising. Jing Dafan has a good reputation in the Jiangnan business world. Laoshi Lane is his first business after entering Beijing. He must want to do it well," another person said, "Once it is done, the Yamen If he recognizes this sign, his path will be smooth in the future, whether it is an official job or other jobs."
"But if you keep digging like this, you will dig out something sooner or later!" Li Yuanfa was anxious.
"I told you a long time ago, we should take action while they were cleaning up the mess a while ago. Hey! I want you to bid higher than Jing Dafan!"
Li Yuanfa did not dare to reply.
Jing Dafan's posture made it clear that he was bound to win.
Chen Gui, who relied on Uncle Chengyi's Mansion, went to talk to Jing Dafan, and finally gave up honestly, which showed that it was not a matter of adding money.
To put it bluntly, when Jing Daduan came to Beijing to make a show of his name, what could be better than the messy Lao Shi Alley?
There is no need to move, it can be built directly, and the results will be immediate.
In such a good job, Jing Dafan had to make a profit even if he lost money.
"Okay!" Another person said, "Time is running out, find a chance to try it..."
The two discussed it for a while and then dispersed.
Shen Chen didn't follow Li Yuanfa anymore. He came out from behind the wall quietly and followed the man from a distance.
After walking to a place where there were a lot of people admiring the flowers, Shen Chen stepped up his steps, leaned against the crowd and saw the true face of the man at a close distance.
Zhu Cheng, the fourth master of the British government.
With his goal accomplished, Shen Chen quickly returned to Taohe Zhai.
Xuan Su came and opened the courtyard door for him.
When Shen Chen went in, he happened to see Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan sitting at the stone table with utensils placed on the table.
The prince and the princess are playing chess?
Taking another closer look, Shen Chen knew that he had seen it wrong.
Both chess baskets were in Xu Jian's hands, and he was still playing against himself.
The princess was reading a book.
Shen Chen asked Xuan Su in a low voice: "Isn't the way the Duke of Guo treats guests inappropriate?"
Even if you want to play chess, you should invite guests to join you. How can you play with yourself and leave your guests aside?
Thinking again of what Jingdong’s family said before they returned to Jiangnan...
As long as the Jingdong family sees the two masters in front of them doing their own thing and acting as if there is no ordinary person on the other side, they will probably change their views.
Xuan Su was about to answer when he heard Xu Jian ask a question behind him, and he hurriedly motioned for Shen Chen to come over.
Shen Chen didn't dare to think about anything else. He saluted the two of them and told them what he had gained.
"Zhu Cheng?" Xu Jian slowly shook his head.
He didn't have a deep impression of this person just by hearing his name.
Lin Yunyan took a breath and said, "He is Zhu Xian's father."
As for the relationship between Zhu Xiang and her father, if Lin Yunyan remembers correctly, there were many conflicts between them.
