Chapter 462: Falling out is faster than turning over a book
Lin Jinmu was a little flustered, and said to himself in a confused manner: "Is there no other possibility?"
puff!
Chu Nanzhi almost spit out her saliva.
He really went to great lengths to put people to death.
He obviously didn't kill anyone, could it be possible that he still wanted to list some charges without any basis to accuse him?
Concubine Yue knew that she should not be instigated by Lin Jinmu, so she calmly thought about it and quickly told Chu Nanzhi: "Sister Princess, it is only appropriate that you should try this case."
"oh?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled bitterly in her heart.
This woman is smart, knowing that things are not settled, she wants to give up the fight.
But she was not allowed to say anything, so Lin Jinmu waved his hand and said solemnly: "Wait a minute."
Everyone looked surprised.
Lin Jinmu stood up slowly, looked at the proud Wu Enrong, and said loudly: "Master Wu, do you think you can walk out of prison openly after being cleared of the suspicion of murdering Zheng?"
He smiled sadly: "Then you are wrong. Since I dare to put you in prison, I have already made preparations to prevent you from getting out of prison."
Ouch, this is a big melon.
Chu Nanzhi felt ecstatic in her heart.
It seems that Lin Jinxiao's strategy really worked.
I'm afraid that Lin Jinmu must have Wu Enrong's handle in his hands.
He took it out sooner rather than later, but it must be unusual for him to take it out at this time.
It should be a killer weapon.
I don’t know if it’s related to the tax bank case and the matter of Taipa Zhao’s agency.
She couldn't wait to know, staring at Lin Jinmu blankly, waiting for him to explain.
Lin Jinmu slowly took out an account book from his arms and said with a sinister smile: "This book records the money that Princess Luo Chu had plundered and exploited in Nanhua Temple over the years, totaling 330,000 taels, all of which were handed over to
In your hands, please ask Mr. Wu where the money ended up, and please ask Mr. Wu to actually collect it."
Wu Enrong was shocked when he heard this, and he was stunned and said: "Where did you get the account book?"
"This is nothing you should worry about."
Lin Jinmu said in a calm tone: "You should still worry about the matter in front of you."
Tang Ru, Concubine Yue and others were shocked by Lin Jinmu's move.
I never expected that he would use this method to detain Wu Enrong.
You must know that everyone present, except Lin Jinxiao, Chu Nanzhi and his wife, the rest of them may have been looking for ways to make money in Luyan Port over the years.
No one would let such a rich place go.
Even though all the kings in the capital knew some of the inside story, they all pretended to have no knowledge. Over time, everyone regarded it as an unwritten agreement.
Now that Lin Jinmu is making a fuss about this matter, wouldn't it mean that everyone will lose their way to survive?
Chu Nanzhi looked at the miserable faces and knew that Lin Jinmu had touched everyone's bottom line.
It seems that King Dongjin is determined to bring down Wu Enrong this time.
She also wanted to see what kind of tricks Lin Jinmu could pull off.
Staring at Wu Enrong silently, she also started to add to her jealousy with great interest: "To be honest, since Princess Shu seized tens of thousands of taels of silver in Nanhua Temple, she also entrusted the matter to the slave family, hoping that the slave family would thoroughly investigate the silver for her.
The slave family does not dare to neglect the direction of the flow. Since His Highness the King of Dongjin has found Princess Luo Chu's account book today, the slave family also wants to ask Mr. Wu, what is going on?"
Wu Enrong looked surprised at her sudden question.
Who is this woman helping?
I was grateful to her from the bottom of my heart just now, but I never thought that she would suddenly turn her back and help Lin Jinmu to embarrass him.
It's true that my face changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
He pretended to be calm and brushed his sleeves, and replied calmly: "I don't know what you two are talking about. I am not familiar with the eldest princesses. I don't know anything about money. Who knows?"
Could it be that Princess Luo Chu deliberately framed this official?"
"Since you are not familiar with her, why would she frame you?"
Lin Jinmu held up the account book in his hand and said coldly: "This is what the eldest princess Lin Luotong personally handed over to the king. The amount of every piece of silver and the date of delivery to the county government are clearly recorded. Could it be the eunuch?"
Your Excellency, do you want me to send people to the county government now to ransack the house before you admit the crime?"
"Princess Luo Chu is dead, and there is no evidence of her death. King Dongjin wants to raid the official's house based on an account book that appeared out of thin air. Isn't it too disrespectful of His Majesty?"
Wu Enrong's hands were sweating, but he still pretended to be greatly wronged and looked at Lin Jinxiao angrily:
"His Royal Highness King Pingning, you are holding the Emperor's Sword in your hand. The official is here to hand over the office. Now that the death of the old lady of the Qi family has nothing to do with the official, Your Highness should put down the official and leave.
Is it possible that we still have to let Wang Hu come from the east?"
"What Mr. Wu said is absolutely true."
Lin Jinxiao smiled unhurriedly, with a very indifferent expression: "Logically speaking, we should let the prefect go, but now that he is involved in other cases, we can only keep the prefect in prison.
Stay a little longer."
"Lin Jinxiao."
Wu Enrong was so angry that his veins burst into rage: "Are you deliberately teasing me? I am your Majesty's personal minister. How dare you do this? When I come to Beijing, I will definitely make you look good."
"cough."
Lin Jinxiao covered his mouth and coughed softly: "I hope that Governor Wu can get out of this prison unharmed, but look at the situation, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."
Not to mention that his wife is waiting to investigate him, it is impossible for Concubine Yue and Lin Jinmu alone to let him walk out of the prison intact.
He said goodbye to everyone calmly, not bothering to pay attention to Wu Enrong anymore, and led Chu Nanzhi and his subordinates straight out of the prison.
Returning to the carriage, he first waved to Li Ce and Li Sanmu, and then ordered the two of them: "Go and check if there is any suspicious person who left the city the night before."
After the two of them left, he warned Chu Nanzhi: "Let's not worry about Wu Enrong's affairs for the time being. A thorough investigation of Zheng's murderer is the top priority right now."
Chu Nanzhi nodded understandingly.
Lin Jinmu had just said that this trustworthy man would immediately go to the county to search Wu Enrong's residence. Once the news of Wu Enrong's downfall spreads throughout the counties, it will be much easier to thoroughly investigate old cases.
She is now also very curious about the secret between Zheng and Wu Enrong.
Since Wu Enrong was not the one who committed the murder, who would have the murderous intention to kill Zheng?
Today's situation is getting more and more interesting.
After returning to the county office in deep thought, Chu Nanzhi went to inspect the carriage brought back from the Qi family. Apart from the purple mark remaining on the wheels, she found no other clues.
According to the confession of a servant of the Qi family, when he was cleaning the carriage, he only found mud on the carriage and nothing else.
The mud was naturally contaminated by the filth in the potholes, but there were no traces of fighting or tearing on the carriage. It can be seen that Zheng did see someone when he arrived at Cangshan, and got off the carriage before he was killed.
If he could ask her to get out of the car and meet him, he must not be a gangster. He must be familiar with her, so she would put down her guard and go to meet him.
While I was concentrating on thinking about these issues, I suddenly saw Li Ce rushing in excitedly.
As he ran, he shouted: "We've found it, we've found it. Zheng Haichuan, the Eastern Postmaster General, took people out of the city the night before, and he only came back from outside the city the next day."
Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi frowned when they heard this: It really took no effort at all.
