The Golden Age Chapter 569: Jiangnan Family
The gray-white high-walled compound in the south of Kyoto City is even more cold in the night.
In the dimly lit room, an oil lamp was lit, and the young supervisor Chen Xi's shadow was projected on the ground. As it flickered slightly, Chen Xi's shadow was also distorted.
"The saint means, this time, with Qin Xiao's inspection of the Jiangnan criminal case as a cover, secretly let his subordinates clarify the truth of Neiku's case." Chen Xi bowed slightly, this one who was always arrogant in front of others In front of the old man in front of him, the young supervisor of Ziyi Jian has always been respectful.
The old man leaned on the chair, and the weather in Kyoto was warming up in May, but the old man’s legs were covered with a thin blanket.
"One million taels of silver disappeared overnight, how do you think about this?" The old man asked softly, looking at his most capable officer.
Chen Xi was silent for a while before saying: "Subordinates never believe in ghosts and gods."
"If it weren't for ghosts and gods, who could take such a huge amount of silver from Neiku overnight?" The old man sighed: "The guards of Jiangnan Neiku are carefully selected by the princess. People, the leader of the Neiku guard is not only a fifth-rank master, but he is also desperate for the princess. Of course, it is impossible to guard and steal himself. The old man believes that the Neiku guard will never be involved in this disappearance case, so if the suspect in the disappearance case is placed For those Neku guards, it is very likely that the investigation will go into a diversion."
Chen Xi frowned and said respectfully: "According to the princess, the Jiangnan Neiku site was chosen very carefully. There is only one exit for entering and exiting, and there are three checkpoints. At twelve hours a day, there are guards and guards strictly. Goods and vehicles going in and out will be carefully checked. Not to mention that with such a huge amount of cash, even if one or two silvers are brought out from the inner warehouse, it will be as difficult as going to the sky. Once found, they will be killed on the spot." Looking at the old man in front of him, his eyes were full of doubts: "If there is no Neiku guards to let it go, how can the silver disappear from the Neiku?"
The old man took a file from the table, opened it, and said, "There are 180 guards in the inner library. Although they are all led and managed by that Jiang, at least three to five of them are The eyeliner arranged by the princess is used to monitor Jiang Xiaochun secretly. Even if Jiang Xiaochun is the princess's most trusted confidant, the princess will not completely trust anyone. It is a matter of course to put an eyeliner next to Jiang Xiaochun."
"Will Jiang Xiaochun know?"
"He's not stupid, would he not know?" The old man smiled lightly: "But Neiku is a heavy land, the princess gave Jiangnan Neiku to his guard, she already trusted him the most, and sent a few nails to stare at him. He knows it well and can accept it."
"But Jiang Xiaochun is not necessarily sure which of the 180 people under him is the eyeliner of the princess?" Chen Xi pondered, "So even if he has another plot, he dare not act rashly. Moreover, those eyeliners are just a few of them. In the inner library, any unusual signs in the inner library will be passed on to the princess, unless all the guards are dead."
The old man said: "This time the Jiangnan Neiku was stolen, there was no warning in advance, and no one was injured or killed, so it is impossible for the silver to be blatantly transported out of the Neiku."
Although Chen Xi is extremely clever, such a weird case really makes him feel tricky.
"There is one thing that is more serious than the theft of Neiku." The old man's eyes were sharp and he slowly said, "I don't believe that the gods and ghosts stole the treasury silver. The stolen Neiku silver can only be human The result. But more than one million taels of cash, even if the thief can get it from the inner library, the plan must be thorough and unusual, and the manpower and material resources used are by no means a few." Staring at Chen Xi: "And that. Helping people to dare to attack Neikuyin is already rebellious. There is such an anti-thief force in Jiangnan, which is far more serious than the theft of Nekuyin."
Chen Xi also looked cold and stern, and said softly: "Jiangnan is the taxation place of the empire. If there are rebellious forces, they must be completely eradicated." Frown slightly: "But we have many officials in Jiangnan these years
Eye liners are arranged around them, even if the Jiangnan clan is under our surveillance, they have nothing to change. If Jiangnan really has a group of brothers and sisters, it can only be the Jiangnan clan. "
The old man didn't speak, just thoughtful.
"My eldest man, do you think someone in Jiangnan has a conspiracy to betray?" Chen Xi asked cautiously.
The old man sighed: "Don't forget that the Chengguo Gong Zhao clan, who was destroyed in the past, was the mainstay of the Jiangnan family. When the Zhao family was destroyed, do you think the Jiangnan seven surnames will really forget?"
There are eight surnames in Jiangnan, and they are the real wealthy families. The eight surnames not only control the trade in Jiangnan, but also have their children all over the officialdom. Datang established the country, and the Zhao clan became one of the founders of the country. The rise of the clan is also the representative of the Jiangnan clan.
The fundamental reason for the saint's extermination of the Zhao clan was that at the time the Chengguo Gong Zhao clan controlled the household, the empire’s money bag was in the hands of the Zhao clan, and the saints and even the Xiahou clan certainly did not allow the empire’s lifeline to be in the hands of the empire. In the hands of the Jiangnan family.
"The saint later let the princess take charge of the inner library, in fact, it was to stabilize the hearts of the Jiangnan clan." The old man said slowly: "In the Jiangnan clan's eyes, the princess is still the widow of the Zhao clan and still has a relationship with the Jiangnan clan. To control the inner library, just wait if the Jiangnan clan still has a backing in the middle of the court."
Chen Xi knows this of course.
Of the officials promoted by the princess in recent years, half of them are from the Jiangnan area, and the Jiangnan clan also supports the princess. Neiku has a secret shop in the Jiangnan. With the local connections and eyeliner of the Jiangnan clan, it is impossible to know nothing about this. I know, if you really want to clean up these dark shops, the Jiangnan clan has some means, but they turn one eye and close another, it is because the owner of Neiku is a princess.
"They regard the princess as a backer, and they also know that the princess is in charge of the inner library, so it is even less likely to be disadvantageous to the inner library." Chen Xi caught the main harm.
"The key issue in this case is here." The old man looked deep and calmly said: "According to common sense, of course, the Jiangnan clan and this case can't have any relationship, because their master is the princess, who steals the inner library. , That would be digging your own grave." After a pause, staring at Chen Xi: "What you said just now is not wrong. If Jiangnan has only one power to commit such a big case unknowingly, it can only be Jiangnan clan. Jiangnan clan and officialdom are nominally two forces, but in fact they are one force. Half of the Jiangnan officials from top to bottom are from the Jiangnan clan, even if they are outside officials, if they cannot be integrated with the Jiangnan clan , I can’t stay there."
The Jiangnan faction has always been one of the strongest factions in the empire. The saints killed the Zhao family, of course, to get back the empire's money bag, and another purpose was to weaken the influence of the Jiangnan faction on the empire.
"It is not easy to transport more than one million taels of cash from the inner warehouse, but the place where the silver is hidden after the transport is not easy to find." The old man said indifferently: "Such a sum of silver, Whenever it is going to circulate, the Jiangnan clan will soon be aware of it."
Chen Xi was puzzled: "Boss, the subordinates are a little confused."
"The old man's meaning is very simple. If this matter is related to the Jiangnan clan, why would the Jiangnan clan betray the princess? There must have been a huge change." The old man looked cold: "If this matter has nothing to do with the Jiangnan clan, then The situation will be more serious, because a more terrifying force has appeared in Jiangnan. They can even exist in Jiangnan without being aware of the Jiangnan clan and commit such a big case." Both hands and ten fingers interlocked: "This one. Where does the power come from, and what is their purpose for stealing the inner library?"
Chen Xi became more and more aware that this case might be more shocking than she had previously thought.
If that power really exists, it is not just hiding from the eyes of the Jiangnan family. Ziyijian has a lot of eyeliners and eyes in Jiangnan. Those eyeliners and ears have not found any clues, and that force can be seen.
Horrible.
Chen Xi was embarrassed and thought of a possibility.
But the thought flashed through my mind.
Such a possibility is of course impossible to say, even to think about it, and in fact it is absolutely impossible.
"You go first." The old man was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Fortunately, Qin Xiao's identity as Shaoqing of Dali Temple stands in front of him. He won't be too horrified. No matter what the case is, remember. One point, that is, you must never let Jiangnan mess up, let alone make any decisions without authorization. The old man will make you prepare eight flying pigeons, and you must report your daily progress in time."
The old man has always acted cautiously, but this time he is more cautious than before. Chen Xi knows that the old man has realized that there must be a terrible truth behind this case, although he does not yet know what the truth is.
At this time, Qin Xiao has already entered the time of the sage.
Qiu Niang's warm, soft and stalwart chest makes him very nostalgic. From the earlier she shrunk her hands and feet, now that Mei Jiao Niang has been able to take the initiative to take on her love, Qin Xiao feels that he is still very talented in training.
Qiu Niang never thought that when she was lying down, her knees could be pressed against her shoulders.
After accepting Huan, Mei Jiao Niang's entire face flushed, making her look more charming and charming, just like flowers being watered, more beautiful.
Qiu Niang is a ripe peach, which is naturally sweet and delicious, but Master Xiao Qin holds the Mei Jiao Niang in his arms, he wants to talk, but he complains about the princess in his heart. If it weren't for her, she was at ease in the yamen during the day, and when she came back at night, she could drive at night. Such a happy day would come to an abrupt end in just a few days.
"Big Brother Gu and I are going to Beijing." Qin Xiao knew that this matter was going to be said at last, so he spoke up.
"Out of Beijing?" Qiuniang immediately raised her head, looking at Qin Xiao with bright eyes: "Where to go?"
"Jiangnan." Qin Xiao said: "Bad brother Gu and I have just taken office, so we have to go to Jiangnan to patrol the case. This is the rule in the yamen, but it will not take long to come back."
Naturally, he can't tell Qiuniang that he has lost Jiangnan to handle the case, otherwise Qiuniang will inevitably worry.
Qin Xiao enjoys the time of mutual affection these days, why not enjoy Qiuniang?
Holding Qin Xiao's neck, his white thighs like a white python lay on Qin Xiao's body, reluctantly: "Then you have to come back soon, I'm... I'm scared at home alone!" Since it was the yamen's rules, Qin Xiao naturally couldn't escape it.
"Don't worry, you will come back after you go to Jiangnan to behave." Qin Xiao stroked Qiuniang's smooth jade back and said softly: "Now that there is a nursing home at home, no one will dare to break in."
Qiu Niang knew that Qin Xiao had hired a group of people to take care of the hospital, after all, for his own safety.
"When are you leaving?" Qiuniang asked.
"It is set for the morning after tomorrow." Qin Xiao was also reluctant, and whispered in Qiuniang's ear: "Before leaving Beijing, we still have two nights."
Qiu Niang’s pretty face flushed even more, and Qin Xiao continued: "I plan to spend two nights before leaving Beijing to teach you a trick."
"Stunning skills?"
"This stunt is very wonderful, just like a spell." Qin Xiao said seriously: "It can make hard things soft, and soft things can become hard quickly, do you want to learn?"
Qiu Niang asked in confusion: "There is still such a spell?"
Qin Xiao looked at Qiuniang's pink lips, hummed, leaned close to his ear, and whispered: "This spell is amazing. I will teach you how to master the techniques now...!" /
