Han Min lowered his voice at this time and said: "Master Qin, can you really find the evidence? I went down to the pass to see the King of Han, he seems to be pretending to be stupid to the end."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, you will be able to witness the great transformation with your own eyes soon."
Han Min blinked and found that he still didn't understand what Qin Wenyuan meant.
But for Qin Wenyuan, Han Min
There is absolute trust.
Since Mr. Qin said that there will be evidence soon, it is absolutely correct.
In this way, the boat quickly arrived in the middle of the lake.
Then, Han Min looked at Qin Wenyuan with wide eyes.
On the shore, Li Shimin and others also looked at Qin Wenyuan.
They wanted to know what Qin Wenyuan would do next.
At this time, they saw Qin Wenyuan put his hand in the lake and lightly touched the water.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Although the sun is high in the sky, it is not too hot in March. The water is still a little cold."
"Han Min, do you know magic?"
Qin Wenyuan suddenly asked.
Han Min blinked: "Magic? What?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Look, there is no one around us, right?"
Although Han Min didn't understand what Qin Wenyuan was going to do, he still nodded subconsciously.
Qin Wenyuan added: "Do you think I can conjure some people out of thin air for you?"
Han Min thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
"oh?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Do you believe this?"
Han Min said seriously: "Master Qin is omnipotent."
Qin Wenyuan laughed directly.
He raised his voice, looked towards the shore, and said: "Everyone, please open your eyes wide. Next, it is the time to witness the miracle!"
With that said, Qin Wenyuan took out a porcelain bowl directly from the boat.
Then he filled the porcelain bowl with water, looked at a basil root on the water, and smiled.
Pour this water directly towards the hollow basil rhizome.
At first, Han Min and others did not understand what Qin Wenyuan was doing.
But the next moment...
Han Min's eyes widened immediately.
Because he discovered that the basil rhizome was actually moving, violently moving.
And the next moment, many bubbles appeared near the basil rhizomes.
The bubbles kept popping up from the lake water, as if there was something inside.
after……
A figure suddenly emerged from the lake.
He was breathing heavily, as if he was lacking oxygen.
After he finished breathing, he subconsciously raised his head. After seeing Qin Wenyuan and others, his entire face turned pale and he froze in place.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "The performance was successful."
Listening to Qin Wenyuan's words of "successful performance", everyone looked at the people who suddenly appeared on the lake. Their faces were confused for a while, and then,
His eyes suddenly widened.
"There's someone in the lake!"
Someone exclaimed.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
time,
Qian Niuwei quickly protected Li Shimin behind him.
And Li Shimin,
He looked at the people emerging from the lake with a sullen face, and said coldly: "Take them all!"
Qian Niuwei naturally didn't dare to question anything after hearing this.
They quickly took action, rowed the boat, and approached the center of the lake.
At this time, many bubbles suddenly appeared on the originally calm lake.
After that, a figure quickly emerged from the lake.
They seemed to be aware of the crisis and did not dare to delay. They turned around and wanted to escape.
But this is the palace, Li Shimin's territory, and Qian Niuwei has already taken action.
Therefore, there is no chance for them to escape.
Before they could swim to the shore, Qianniuwei chased them.
Then, they were beaten up by the Qianniu Guards.
Those who did not dare to resist were immediately arrested.
Anyone who dared to resist would be killed by the Qianniu Guards on the spot.
Hiding these people in the lake of the palace is a serious crime of beheading.
This is sneaking into the palace without permission.
The palace is the most important place for the emperor. Entering without permission is a capital offense if discovered.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in killing them on the spot.
If it weren't for Qin Wenyuan, he might still need to keep them for interrogation, and maybe Qianniu Guards wouldn't keep any of them.
Just like that, it didn't take long for all these people who emerged from the lake to be dealt with.
There were thirty-two people in total, and twenty of them were killed for resisting.
The remaining twelve people were arrested.
Qian Niuwei escorted these twelve people and came to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin glanced at them, but did not ask them anything. He just looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Qin Wenyuan, continue with your business."
Because Qin Wenyuan is responsible for this case.
Therefore, Li Shimin gave Qin Wenyuan enough face.
He will not influence Qin Wenyuan's decision. Qin Wenyuan will be tried how he wants to be tried.
And this also clearly shows that Li Shimin stands firmly behind Qin Wenyuan and firmly supports Qin Wenyuan.
This scene was watched by Fang Xuanling and others.
They looked at each other, their eyes twinkling.
As for Han Wang Li Yuanchang, his expression obviously changed at this moment.
How could he not understand what Li Shimin meant?
Even though the culprits were caught, Li Shimin didn't even ask a word, but still asked Qin Wenyuan to take charge.
There is no doubt that no matter what the outcome is, Li Shimin will not oppose it.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Li Yuanchang, smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, you just said that there are no other people here. Do you want to explain these people?"
Li Yuanchang looked away from Qin Wenyuan's gaze, as if he did not dare to look at Qin Wenyuan.
He said: "I didn't know there were people in the lake. They were hidden too well. If Lord Qin hadn't discovered them, I wouldn't have known they were here."
Li Yuanchang is pretending to be stupid to the end.
Qin Wenyuan was not surprised.
If Li Yuanchang confessed so easily, then he would no longer be the man behind the scenes that he admired a little.
He looked at the people captured by Qianniu Guard and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han said he didn't know you were here. What do you think?"
These people's faces were pale and their expressions were tense, but they were all gritting their teeth and no one spoke.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "You are loyal."
Qin Wenyuan naturally guessed that they would not speak easily. After all, if Li Yuanchang was not an absolute confidant, why would he use Li Yuanchang to do such a stupid thing?
Qin Wenyuan looked at Li Yuanchang and said, "They didn't speak. Didn't His Highness feel relieved immediately?"
Li Yuanchang frowned, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said with a steady expression: "I don't know what you are talking about. If these thieves don't speak, what does it have to do with me."
Qin Wenyuan sighed.
He said: "Your Highness, King of Han, what are you still hiding?"
"We have already found this place, and we are about to take the stolen goods together. What's the point of denying it anymore, Your Highness?"
Li Yuanchang's face changed slightly, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't mean it in vain, Qin Wenyuan, you have said those nonsense to me again and again.
If you don’t give me an explanation, I will definitely not spare you!”
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Your Highness wants to explain?"
"Well, I will give His Highness an explanation now!"
"But after I give an explanation to His Highness, I hope that His Highness can also give an explanation to us, especially His Majesty who trusts His Highness!"
Li Yuanchang's eyes flickered a few times when he heard Qin Wenyuan's words.
He gave Qin Wenyuan a deep look, and then said: "Okay, I would like to see how you explain it!"
Qin Wenyuan said: "Before explaining, let me ask you a question."
Qin Wenyuan looked at Fang Xuanling and others and said: "My lords, if the salary money from ten years ago was hidden in Hanfang Hall, where do you think it would be hidden in Hanfang Hall?"
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard Qin Wenyuan's words.
They couldn't help but look around Hanfang Hall.
I saw that the area of Hanfang Hall was not large, it was just a lake, a courtyard and a main hall.
If the salary is really hidden here, where will it be hidden?
Fang Xuanling frowned, thinking in her mind.
Changsun Wuji also looked thoughtful.
But after all, they are not detectives like Qin Wenyuan who are keen on all clues. They are good at running the country, but not good at solving cases and finding clues.
So after thinking about it for a while, I didn't even think about where the salary would be.
Qin Wenyuan was not surprised. He moved his gaze to Li Yuanchang on one side and asked with a smile: "What do you think, His Highness, the King of Han? Where is the salary hidden?"
Li Yuanchang's face was obviously gloomy.
However, he was still very firm in managing his will. Even when Qin Wenyuan asked such a question, he did not glance at the lake once.
Because he was not sure whether Qin Wenyuan knew that the salary was hidden here, or whether he just made a simple inference.
Qin Wenyuan didn't know where the salary was. If his sight inspired Qin Wenyuan, he would be in trouble.
Li Yuanchang was able to steal wages, and even Bai Yanguan almost touched his hand. This shows that he is a bold and careful person.
It is by no means an easy task to expose his flaws.
When he heard Qin Wenyuan's words, he just said calmly: "I read the books of sages and do good deeds, so naturally I can't guess where the salary is hidden."
Qin Wenyuan was almost amused by Li Yuanchang's words.
If he hadn't known the specific situation, he might have really thought that Li Yuanchang was that kind of a good person.
He looked at Li Yuanchang and said: "Since His Highness the King of Han is such a kind person, it seems that it is really difficult to ask His Highness the King of Han."
"In that case, I, as a person who has not read many books about sages and has not done many virtuous and good deeds, should come and find out."
Li Yuanchang's face turned slightly ugly when he heard Qin Wenyuan's teasing words.
He said coldly: "I would like to see what Master Qin can find."
Qin Wenyuan looked at the captured thieves hiding in the lake, and he asked calmly: "Why are you hiding in the lake?"
These people did not respond.
They were like dead soldiers. No matter what Qin Wenyuan asked, he didn't say a word.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "It seems you don't want to answer this question."
"Then let me change the question."
He looked at these people and said, "You are hiding in the lake, not just because the lake can help you hide your presence, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of these dead soldiers changed slightly.
Even if their changes were very small and they adjusted quickly, who among the people present was not a human being?
Who is not a master at figuring out the emperor’s will?
How could any subtle expression on Li Shimin's face escape their sight?
They are training this skill every day.
Therefore, the changes in the faces of these dead soldiers did not escape everyone's sight.
And this also made Fang Xuanling and others suddenly realize...
What Qin Wenyuan said is right!
It seems that these people are hiding in the lake not only because they can hide their figures there.
But if this is not the reason, then what could be the reason?
What other reason could there be for hiding in the lake?
Everyone fell into deep thought.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan's voice rang out again: "What I just said was a bit inaccurate. I'll put it another way."
He looked at these dead soldiers and said: "Actually, you are not hiding in the lake, but you are working in the lake. You happened to hear the sound of us coming, so you went directly in, right?"
As soon as these words came out.
With a flick of the brush, the eyes of those dead soldiers suddenly widened.
They all looked at Qin Wenyuan in great shock.
Even Li Yuanchang's expression changed drastically.
The changes this time are far more obvious than before.
This undoubtedly proves Qin Wenyuan’s guess!
"Could it be..."
Fang Xuanling's heart moved, and he couldn't help but said: "Isn't it possible that the salary is also hidden in this lake?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Fang is really smart."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yuanchang and said, "Your Highness, King of Han, do you think my inference is correct?"
When King Li Yuanchang of Han heard Qin Wenyuan's words, his pupils shrank slightly.
His hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.
I saw his eyes staring at Qin Wenyuan, his eyes full of coldness and murderous intent.
It seemed that if they disagreed, they would take out a knife and fight Qin Wenyuan desperately.
But he struggled for a moment and looked away again.
He did not look at Qin Wenyuan and said calmly: "I don't know that the lake is very deep, and I don't like boating and fishing. Besides, the lake in Hanfang Palace does not allow people to row or fish, so I
Wang never goes near the lake, so he certainly doesn’t know what’s in it.”
What he said was still a refusal.
And there is no technical content at all in the rejection.
But this kind of rhetoric is really hard to refute.
Qin Wenyuan laughed and said: "It seems that His Highness the King of Han doesn't even dare to guess."
"In that case, let's take action and try it out."
As he spoke, Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed, and he said directly: "Do it!"
These Qianniu guards and government officials have been waiting for a long time.
When I heard this, I didn't hesitate at all.
Someone jumped directly into the lake and swam to the bottom of the lake.
Everyone, including Li Shimin, was staring at the lake.
Everyone is waiting for the final results to appear!
That military pay has disappeared for ten years.
The military pay that almost caused turmoil in the Tang Dynasty.
Is it... here?
At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to become tense.
Some officials even held their breath subconsciously.
