Kang Shiwen was pleasantly surprised, "But what happened during the interrogation?"
Su Yizhao took out the paper in his arms and waved it in front of Kang Shiwen, "These two lists are good things."
He handed the list to Kang Shiwen, "You should ask the emperor for instructions before arresting people! You still have to find evidence before the other party is prepared."
"As for the ambassador, you don't need to worry. He has been found by his subordinates and will be sent to him at dawn tomorrow."
Kang Shiwen asked curiously: "Then how did you catch him?"
"If the official said it was delivered to my door, would you believe it?" Su Yizhao smiled.
Kang Shiwen snorted coldly, I believe you are a ghost.
He was now in awe of the emperor's wise decision. Su Yizhao was very cunning and was indeed suitable for investigating the case.
That's not right! Isn't it unworthy of such a good person to stay in the Hanlin Academy? He should come to their Dali Temple.
Kang Shiwen hurriedly went to deliver the sign outside the palace, and Su Yizhao stretched himself and planned to go back to sleep.
After struggling for half a night, she almost had dark circles under her eyes.
The rest is left to Kang Shiwen. Most of the matter has been solved. Next, Kang Shiwen will wait for Kang Shiwen to screen out the suspicious people among those people before making the final judgment.
However, we still have to think carefully about who is the person behind the ambassador.
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind! Who benefits from this incident? Whose work is that fake Xierlin?
Were these two things done by the same person? Su Yizhao slept peacefully that night, and she didn't open her eyes until three o'clock in the morning.
"Oops! Why didn't Yuerong wake me up earlier? I missed the time to say hello." Su Yizhao got up quickly. This was the first time she got up late after traveling through time.
After Su Yizhao got up, he quickly called Yuerong.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's rude to sleep until now."
Su Yizhao muttered while washing himself.
Yuerong looked at Su Yizhao's slightly haggard face and said distressedly: "The old man has already sent a message to the house, saying that you don't have to go to pay respects these days."
Su Yizhao was stunned, remembering that he left early and came back late every day. He went out at midnight last night and came back at midnight. No one in the house asked what he said. It must be what the old man said.
"Young Master! Someone from Dali Temple sent a message saying that Mr. Kang wants you to go over immediately." The attendant rushed over and said to Su Yizhao.
"Go hitch the carriage!" Su Yizhao immediately ordered.
"Are you leaving now? The shredded chicken porridge is hot on the small clay stove. I'll give you a bowl. Drink it before you leave!"
The young master has become more and more clean recently. Although he doesn't go to the Hanlin Academy to have a meal, he is always busy and doesn't know what he is busy with. She doesn't dare to ask more.
Su Yizhao nodded, "Come on, Sheng!"
Eating is as big as the emperor. Now that there is progress, there is no need to worry anymore.
When Su Yizhao arrived at Dali Temple, he saw Kang Shiwen looking at her dissatisfied.
"Why did it come so slowly? The list has been shortlisted. Come and take a look."
Su Yizhao was very surprised that after just one night, the screening was completed. The efficiency of Dali Temple is indeed very high!
At that time, Ju Ming'an had a long list. She counted a total of sixteen people.
Most of them are in the capital, with only a few local officials.
They should have been in contact with Ju Ming'an. Those who were hiding in secret, the second prince would not tell Ju Ming'an all.
"There are sixteen people on the list, four of whom hold local official positions. Regardless of this for the moment, the other twelve are all high-ranking officials in the court."
Kang Shiwen said with a thoughtful look on his face, "But in this list, Wei Lian, who was impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate for failing to supervise the Arms Bureau, was not included in the list."
"Wei Lian is still imprisoned in Dali Temple. Originally, he was highly suspected, but even Ju Mingan didn't report him. Could it be that Wei Lian really just ran into this matter?"
Kang Shiwen felt that there was a lot of strangeness in this. He didn't believe that Wei Lian was not involved before, but now it turned out that they had wronged Wei Lian.
Su Yizhao nodded, "It is true that he is not on this list, but we cannot rule out his suspicion."
Kang Shiwen nodded, "Oh! By the way, where is the fake ambassador you caught? How do you explain it?"
"After a rough interrogation before, according to his own confession, his name is Chen De, and he is a desperado. Someone gave him money to assassinate Xu Changming, the ambassador to the Ministry of Industry. We have not yet determined whether what he said is true or false. I will have to wait until the next official.
To interrogate the details.”
"Well! Please give me some advice on this matter. Go and report it today. The Emperor is urging me. I don't have much time left for you and me."
Su Yizhao nodded. She knew that the emperor was anxious, but there were some things that couldn't be rushed. Then the two of them discussed the people on the list.
"I didn't expect that there would be four officials in the Ministry of Personnel who are all members of the second prince. But how come Zhu Heqian, the son of the former Taifu Zhu Yue, is on the list? I have already sent people to keep an eye on him. The emperor's message is that we must not alert the enemy."
Zhu Heqian is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his official position in the Ministry of Personnel is not small.
Su Yizhao had read the list, and there were people from all six departments, including the Hanlin Academy, but she believed this was just one of the lists.
A few years ago, she thought Zhu Yue had taken refuge with the prince. Unexpectedly, after the prince lost power, Zhu Yue would turn to the second prince?
"Who do you think is the most suspicious among them?" Su Yizhao asked.
Kang Shiwen shook his head, "I can't say! But after thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that three of them are the most suspect."
"Who are the three people?" Su Yizhao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Kang Shiwen already had someone he suspected.
"Since he can be reused by the prince, he must not be an unknown person in the court. He may be a high-ranking official, or he may be someone who has emerged in recent years."
Kang Shiwen clicked on the name of one of them, "Zhu Yanjing, a doctor in the household department, was promoted to a doctor in the household department five years ago. I have checked this person's origin. His family is poor and his parents died when he was young. He was a local magistrate before.
Later he was transferred to the capital."
As he spoke, he pointed to another person, "Zuo Wenyu, the right young minister of Dali Temple, this person was formerly a member of the prince's family."
"The last person is Zhu Heqian."
Su Yizhao was a little surprised. Two of the three people surprised her.
"What basis do you have?"
Kang Shiwen nodded, "Needless to say, the first one has no foundation, but he was promoted to the position of Doctor of the Household Department after serving as an official for ten years. The Household Department is a lucrative place. His last official position was the general judge of Longnan Prefecture, which was awarded every three years.
When he arrived, he was immediately promoted to the position of Doctor of the Household Department, and he stayed in this position for five years."
"Even if this person is not Xuanwu, he does not rule out the suspicion of colluding with Xuanwu."
Su Yizhao nodded, "Your suspicion is not unreasonable. What about the others?"
"As for Zuo Wenyu, although he belongs to the prince, I always feel that he is not dedicated to assisting the prince. Even when the prince lost power, he remained calm. Perhaps he had secretly defected to the second prince."
