"Xiaobao!" As soon as Gu Wan entered Gu Chengyu's house, she went straight to Gu Chengyu's yard.
"Second sister, why are you here?" As soon as Gu Chengyu saw Gu Wan, Sun Xian, Ye Zhiqiu and others running in, he knew that his second sister was worried about this matter.
"I just heard your brother-in-law talk about this. I heard that your examiner ransacked his house? Will it affect you?"
Gu Wan took Gu Chengyu's hand, not caring about the restless little bun in Sun Xian's hand, with an eager look on her face.
Seeing Gu Wan's eager face, Gu Chengyu felt warm in her heart, "Don't worry! It's okay. I didn't cheat in the exam, so it won't implicate me."
Gu Wan didn't understand what was going on here, so she believed Gu Chengyu when he said it was okay. Although she was still a little worried, she trusted Xiaobao very much.
Ever since he was little, Xiaobao has never let his family members worry, as if he can solve any problem at his hands.
"Don't worry! You can just take the exam again." Gu Chengyu comforted her, patting her on the shoulder.
After hearing this, Gu Wan was completely relieved, "It's a pity to retake the exam. He was in the exam room for nine days! It took two days for your brother-in-law to recover! Alas!"
Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu stopped talking. Gu Chengyu glanced at them and signaled them to stop talking nonsense.
Saying it will only make Gu Wan more worried, which is useless.
"Uncle! Hug!" The little bun's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Gu Chengyu. He looked at Gu Chengyu with a pair of big wet eyes, and his round apple face made Gu Chengyu's irritable mood calm down a lot.
No matter what big thing happens, you should try your best to find a solution and face it calmly. He is still a little impetuous.
"Little Baozi, don't you want to play with the Trojan horse? Let's go and play with Sister Lichun!"
Gu Wan knew that Gu Chengyu and the others had something to discuss, so she took the small bun from Sun Xian and left the yard.
"Chengyu! What are your plans for this matter? Is there any reliable news?"
Sun Xian and the others followed Gu Chengyu to the study. After a long while, they saw Gu Chengyu was silent, and then they spoke to break the calm.
"This matter is very complicated. I'm waiting for news from Ming Mo and the others. I'll tell you when it's confirmed. It's still my guess at this moment."
Gu Chengyu planned to tell Sun Xian and the others about this. After all, if he was interrogated, he would definitely be imprisoned in a prison first.
It was inconvenient for him to be there, and he had to rely on Sun Xian and others to run for him.
After all, Ming Mo and the others are just servants, and sometimes it's not appropriate to come forward.
Only then did Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu realize the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that Chengyu was already making preparations.
"Sir! Ding Jiu sent word that the Military and Horse Division searched the Wan Mansion and found a list of merchants who bribed Mr. Wan. They even found out that Mr. Wan was involved in the bandits who committed crimes, and they were
The mastermind among them."
Ming Mo didn't know that Gu Chengyu had guessed correctly. He was shocked when he received the news.
I didn't expect Mr. Wan to do such an unscrupulous thing.
"What?" Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu were also surprised. They didn't expect that such a big thing would be involved.
So is this imperial examination fraud case a cover? Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu are not stupid either. When the matter has reached this point, the true purpose has been revealed.
"Did any silver coins be found in the house? Is there anything found in Mr. Song's house?"
Gu Chengyu felt that it was impossible for the eldest prince to spend such a huge sum of money. If the money disappeared, wouldn't it just prove that the money was used in a shady way?
Naturally, Wan Xuenian could not explain the whereabouts of this batch of silver. If the third prince had no countermeasures, he would have no choice but to be beaten passively. Perhaps, he could also start from the third prince.
"There is not much property, it is all the dowry of the female family members of the Wan family. The Song family did not find anything."
Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, the most important thing about this matter was no longer the fraud case, he would become a victim of politics.
"Brother Sun, Senior Brother Ye, listen to me."
Gu Chengyu asked Ming Mo to stay and told his guess.
As soon as they finished talking, Ming Yan entered the study.
"Sir! People from the Military and Horse Division went to several Zhuangzi at the same time. Ding Liu sent people back to report, but it was already too late."
Gu Chengyu had already expected this result. After all, it would take a lot of effort to find Zhuangzi's location in a hurry.
"Chengyu! Are you saying that the eldest prince might have done this?"
Sun Xian felt incredible. It was rumored that the eldest prince had a gloomy temperament, but he did not make any big mistakes in his daily life.
"That's right! I was just suspicious at first, but evidence of the bandit case was found in Wanfu. Wan Xuenian and the eldest prince cannot be allies."
In fact, this method is not very clever. Is it true that no one knows what the eldest prince does? Who can hold a high position in the officialdom and does not have a few staff and advisers in the house? There are not many useful people under his command.
?
The reason why the eldest prince is so confident is that the previous mountain bandit case did not leave any clues!
If it weren't for Hu Maoqing's pressure, the eldest prince wouldn't have been able to come up with such an idea. After all, there will always be some blood involved in framing someone.
"Master Wan is the third prince's grandfather. He has been tied to him since he was born. How could he betray the third prince?" Ye Zhiqiu also analyzed.
As he said this, he suddenly thought, "Then the eldest prince's purpose is to bring down the third prince?"
Ye Zhiqiu shuddered. There were only four princes, and the fourth prince was weak. If the third prince was defeated, only the second prince would be left.
It is said that the royal family has no family ties. For the sake of the throne, brothers will fight to the death.
Although the current emperor obtained the imperial edict from the late emperor, does that mean he stepped on his brother's corpse to gain the throne?
"You can say that."
Gu Chengyu was a little uneasy at the moment. Logically speaking, the court meeting should have ended by now. Why hasn't the senior brother returned home yet?
Guo Shi's situation was very dangerous. Gu Chengyu was afraid that someone could not bear it and would kill Guo Shi as soon as he left the palace.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor was furious, "Are you saying that you have found evidence of the bandits committing crimes back then?"
"To report to the emperor, among the letters found in Wanfu, I found some lists and inventories. The list contains the amount of gold and silver obtained from each interception of the caravan, totaling more than two million taels."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"Two million taels? Wan Xuenian is really brave."
There was an explosion in the court room, and everyone was whispering.
Xia Qing raised his eyelids and then glanced at the third prince.
This is the news that Kuang Zhaoying, the minister of Dali Temple, just received. When General Caibingmasi raided Wanfu, he had already handed over the letter and the list to Dali Temple.
"Where is that batch of gold and silver?" The emperor's hand on the armrest of the dragon chair was clenched into a fist.
Now that the treasury is empty, even he, the emperor, has to cut back on food and clothing. This is really abominable. This is a waste of human life. Those merchants are all his subjects of Dayan.
The emperor's sharp eyes were like sharp arrows, shooting towards the third prince.
