The Golden Age Chapter 562: Shocking case
Qin Xiao didn't speak, but the princess' eyes showed a trace of satisfaction.
"Jiangnan is the richest place in the world, and it is also the place where merchants gather." The princess pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Neiku has a turnover bank in Jiangnan. Most of the time, the inventory of silver in Jiangnan is far More than Kyoto Neiku."
Qin Xiao was silent for a while, and finally said: "Is there something wrong with Jiangnan Neiku?"
The princess was very satisfied with Qin Xiao’s dexterity, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Yes. Jiangnan Neiku has been operating normally for many years. The accounts sent a month ago, in Jiangnan Neiku, have The silver is 1.43 million taels."
Millions of cash is certainly not a small amount.
"Two days ago, Jiangnan Neiku Feige passed a letter and sent a secret letter." The princess's pretty face became somber: "The secret letter says that Jiangnan Neiku’s cash is more than one million taels, Overnight, disappeared."
Qin Xiao was shocked and lost his voice: "Flying away?"
"Yes." The princess nodded slightly, but she was still very calm: "The imperial merchant in Nei Treasury made a big deal and needed a cash, at least one hundred thousand taels of silver. The Nei Treasury allocated the silver. At that time, I discovered that there was no more than one million taels of silver stored in the bank."
Qin Xiao took a breath.
One million taels of silver, piled up is a silver mountain, and it disappeared overnight, which is incredible.
Even if a lot of manpower is used, it is almost impossible to move millions of cash silver overnight.
"Jiangnan Neiku is a royal place, very secretive. Few people know the specific location." The princess's beautiful eyes became cold and stern: "There are many entrances and exits, and there are heavy soldiers guarding them, not to mention millions of silver, Just want to take away a couple of silver from Jiangnan Neiku, that is absolutely impossible."
Qin Xiao was shocked, frowning in silence, and then asked: "His Royal Highness and the minister mentioned these, I don't know...what's the order?"
"The stolen silver in the Jiangnan Neiku not only caused heavy losses to the Neiku, but also directly caused the Neiku emperor merchants in Jiangnan to be unable to operate." The princess looked serious: "If the silver cannot be retrieved quickly, let Jiangnan emperor merchants maintain Operation, then Neiku may not be able to maintain the cost of kilometers this year. There are tens of thousands of people in the palace, I am afraid that they will really be hungry."
Hungry in the palace, this is of course an exaggeration of the princess, it is really going to be a last resort, and the court can't really let the saints have no food.
However, with such a big case in Jiangnan Neiku, the princess must of course find the missing silver and must also find out the truth.
If the loss of silver was a careful plan, then this big case is not just a problem of silver, but the imperial power is threatened.
"What the princess meant, is it to let the minister investigate this case?" Qin Xiao was surprised.
At this time, he finally understood that the princess announced that he had come today, it was really not for Tsing Yi Tang. The Neiku stolen, it was much more serious than the clearing of Tsing Yi Tang.
The princess nodded slightly: "Yes, this case is entrusted to you to investigate, and you must find the lost silver and investigate the truth of the case."
"The princess is flattered by such a high profile." Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "The minister dare to ask, why did the princess choose the minister? The minister is stupid and incompetent. It is really difficult for the minister to handle such a shocking case. Seeing that the princess's eyes became sharp, she immediately continued: "The princess has orders. Of course, the minister is willing to go through fire and water, but the theft of Neiku is extraordinary. The minister has limited talents. If the case cannot be handled well, it will be true. It will waste time and delay searching for the truth. At that time, even ten thousand deaths cannot be forgiven."
"Yes, you also know that if this case is not handled well, you will die." The princess snorted coldly, "If you can't find out the truth during this trip to Jiangnan, not only will you fall to the ground, but Gu Baiyi's sister and brother will also be affected. , Cut it all at once."
Qin Xiao was embarrassed, and said annoyed: "What does this matter have to do with them, the princess should not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"You are courageous. With just this sentence, you are guilty, and this palace will be able to take your first level immediately." The princess gave Qin Xiao a cold glance, "If you want to save them, investigate this case. It's clear to the bottom."
"The princess is difficult for a strong man." Qin Xiao knew that his arms could not be stretched out of his thighs, and said with a wry smile: "In criminal investigations, people in the Criminal Department are experienced, and Lu Futang must be invincible...!"
The princess smiled rather than smile, and said lightly: "These days,
You and the Criminal Department are incompatible with each other, so you sent the knife to Lu Junzhong's head. Why are you so reasonable now that you take the initiative to recommend him? "
"Exercise does not avoid enemies, internal exercises do not avoid relatives." Qin Xiao said sternly: "Lu Butang has been in charge of the Criminal Department for more than ten years, and he has all major and important cases in his hands. Go, it’s not as good as Lu Butang. Now that Her Royal Highness is going to investigate the case of Neku, there is no more suitable candidate than Lu Butang."
"He is not suitable." The princess was simple and clear.
Qin Xiao was startled, but couldn't help asking: "Why?"
He has doubts in his heart.
Although Lu Junzhong of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is cruel, he is definitely better than himself in criminal investigation. Of course, the sooner the Jiangnan Neiku case is investigated, the better. Looking at the Manchu civil and military, the most suitable candidate is really Lu Junzhong is none other than that.
However, the princess did not hand the case to Lu Junzhong. Instead, she let her fledgling go to Jiangnan to investigate the case. Apart from looking better than Lu Junzhong, she can’t see anything more than Lu Junzhong. It's appropriate to do this escort.
The princess frowned slightly and said a little displeased: "You really have a lot of problems." But she still said: "When it comes to case handling experience, Lu Junzhong and the people from the Criminal Ministry are indeed far better than you and Dali Temple, but this person Cool officials are famous all over the world, and they are vicious in nature. If he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, he will inevitably cause too many innocents and blood will flow into a river."
"The princess is worried that he will cause a big case and implicate innocent people?" Qin Xiao, who wants to achieve this position, really cares about the life and death of ordinary people?
The princess obviously heard the meaning of his words, and she glanced at him coldly, and said coldly: "Of course, this palace does not care how many people die in his hands, but this palace cannot be messed up by him. Jiangnan, let alone the case of Neiku to make everyone know."
Qin Xiao suddenly understood something, and asked cautiously: "The princess said this case can only be investigated secretly?"
"You still have some brains." The princess said indifferently: "Once this case is known to everyone, everyone in the world will know that Jiangnan has a royal inner library. This is not the most important thing. Jiangnan inner library is heavily guarded. Strictly guarded, a million taels of silver actually disappeared, this matter spread, where is the face of the court and the royal family?"
Qin Xiao secretly thought that this was the truth.
Neiku is a private royal treasury, and it is guarded by elite officers and soldiers. If someone knows that the money in the inner library is unbelievably missing, the royal majesty will inevitably be hit, and those guarded officers and soldiers will also be regarded as wine bags and rice bags. Datang officers and soldiers Such incompetence will inevitably be criticized.
"Lu Junzhong's reputation is too great. He went to Jiangnan to handle the case. It was too conspicuous. Everyone knew that a major event had happened when the criminals arrived in Jiangnan." The princess slowly said, "You are the only one, Qin Shaoqing, who just took office. Dali Temple has the responsibility of reviewing criminal cases in the world. At this time, you are going to inspect Jiangnan criminal cases. It is reasonable and reasonable. No one can guess your true purpose of going to Jiangnan."
Qin Xiao arched his hands and said: "The princess is wise, she is really wise and extraordinary."
"Of course, this palace knows that you are going to the south of the Yangtze River, and you will do your best." The corner of the princess's lips floated beautifully: "I heard that you and the woman in Gu's family are in love, in order to save her, you must also I won’t let my palace down, don’t you think?"
Qin Xiao gritted his teeth, but didn't dare to attack, he could only say: "Since the princess has decided, the minister can only do his best." He thought to himself that he was still preparing for a marriage with Qiuniang in the near future, sweet and sweet. It's a good time to live a beautiful life. The princess will send herself to Jiangnan with a word, and this marriage will naturally be delayed.
He also knew very well in his heart that Jiangnan Neku was stolen. The princess must have known the saint in the first time. The princess asked herself to go to Jiangnan to handle the case. Naturally, he also got the permission of the saint. Throw it to myself, I can't refuse it at all.
"Prepare, leave as soon as possible. Delaying time will only make this case more and more difficult. Don't worry, the promise of this palace will be counted naturally." The princess slowly got up and walked slowly on the grass:" If you find out the truth and find the silver, this palace will surely persuade the saints to recruit recruits, and will also give you the opportunity to avenge the Soviet generals personally. Your future lies in your own hands. Don't let this palace down."
Under the light of the palace lantern, the enchanting and enchanting princess, her Royal Highness, curled away like a ball of flame.
When Qin Xiao came out of the Musk Moon Palace, the sky was already completely dark. Two dragon scale guards sent Qin Xiao out of the workshop on horseback. Qin Xiao was in a complicated mood. .
He is a little bit more
Weily arrived at the east courtyard. Qiuniang was already waiting. Seeing Qin Xiao's face looked tired, she immediately prepared bath water for Qin Xiao with her servant wife. After the servant wife went down to rest, she waited for Qin Xiao to take a bath.
The two have become a husband and wife, and Qiuniang naturally takes care of Qin Xiao with all her heart. Although she has not yet married, she does her best to be a wife. She prepares hot water to wait for Qin Xiao to take a bath every day.
Although Qin Xiao is worried, but thinking that Qiuniang was frightened last night, he naturally wouldn’t let his emotions aggravate Qiuniang’s worry, and he didn’t want to directly inform her about going to Jiangnan to handle the case tonight, watching Meijiaoniang cautiously. I took a towel and wiped my shoulders. Under the lights, the beautiful face became more and more attractive. With a harder hand, she dragged Qiuniang into the tub.
The water splashed all over, Qiuniang exclaimed, was hugged by Qin Xiao, immersed in the water, looking at Qin Xiao's already excited eyes, blushing and said: "What are you doing... ?"
"Fuck!" Qin Xiao was not polite, and moved forward.
Although Qin Xiao was tired, he went into battle like a tiger, and the bed crunched in the middle of the night.
The next morning, when Qin Xiao woke up, it was already bright, and he turned his head and glanced at Qiuniang beside him.
Quniang sleeps lazily, the green silk covers her beautiful and charming face, like a gorgeous peony. She withstood the storm last night, and the flower branches trembled and withstood the impact. She looked a little sluggish this morning and needed to recover from sleep. Spirit.
Quniang, who was still in her sleep, had a peaceful expression with a happy smile on the corner of her lips. Qin Xiao was relieved, knowing that his efforts last night had soothed Qiuniang's frightened heart.
Qin Xiao couldn't bear to wake up Qiuniang, got up and put on clothes, after washing and coughing, he was about to have some breakfast to go to Yamen. The trip to the south of the Yangtze River was extraordinary, so naturally he had to discuss it with Gu Baiyi and he just left the yard. But the janitor, Old Shen, waited not far away. He seemed to have waited for a while, but he didn't dare to bother. Seeing Qin Xiao coming out, Old Shen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, there are a few strong men here. It is said that the second master Wu sent them over, but the villain did not dare to let them in and report to the lord."
Qin Xiao immediately remembered what he had asked Wu Tianbao to do yesterday, and asked him to pick a few people from the Taiping Society to come to see the nursing home. I didn’t expect Wu Tianbao to act so neatly. What he said yesterday afternoon, he sent someone this early. Come, he ordered: "Ask if there is someone named Tu Baoshan? If so, let them wait in the front yard."
When Qin Xiao came to the front yard, he saw Tu Baoshan at a glance. In addition to this, six or seven people followed.
In the case of Wei Bi, Tu Baoshan helped a bit. Qin Xiao also had a good impression of this sunny young man. Seeing Qin Xiao coming out, Tu Baoshan immediately stepped forward and fell on his knees: "Little Tu Baoshan, visit Master Qin." The people behind him responded quickly and all knelt down, but Qin Xiao had already helped Tu Baoshan and said with a smile: "Get up all, you are here early."
"My lord, the second master told us, I am grateful for your help." Tu Baoshan respectfully said: "These brothers are the best fighters in the Taiping Association, and they are all loyal. Good brother first. The second master told us that starting from today, we have nothing to do with the Taiping Society. From now on, we will obey the orders of the adults, even if we go through water and fire."
Several other people also succumbed to their hands at the same time: "I would like to follow the adults to the death and go through the fire and water!"
Tu Baoshan and others knew very well that from the Taipinghui's helpers to the Shaoqing Mansion's guards, for them, it was like a fish jumped over the dragon gate. If Xiao Qin was so supporting, then he had to repay Mr. Qin for anything. The grace of support.
"I can't talk about support." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Anyway, I have a bite to eat, and I will definitely have yours. Everyone, from now on, the guards in the house will be handed over to you, Baoshan, these brethren You’re leading it. Anyway, there are a lot of rooms in this house, so you can arrange it yourself later."
Tu Baoshan said yes, but at this moment, he heard the door "dongdongdong" sounding, and it seemed that someone was knocking **** the door.
Old Shen closed the door immediately after letting Tu Baoshan and the others come in. He stood aside at this moment, and heard someone knocking on the door so presumptuously. Old Shen's expression was not good. He thought this was Shaoqing Mansion, who was so bold and knocked. The door seemed to hit the door, and as he went to the door, he said loudly: "Who? Stop knocking."
Tu Baoshan and the others just entered the mansion. They had enough energy to show it in front of the new owner. Hearing the "dong dong dong" knock on the door was very unkind. Tu Baoshan winked, how many He immediately followed Old Shen.
