Chapter 266 Internal treasury theft case ([-]) [-] more

"This is promising! With my brother here, how can I make this piece of paper disappear? Whoever takes it away will obediently send it back!"

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he put the two bank notes into his pocket, and asked Yu Shi'an, "There are quite a few things that need to be added to this house. You should put them up first, and I will report them to you later."

Yu Shi'an snorted and said, "I can afford to give you some paving and building, but people will try to kill you when you walk on the avenue. You should put a few skilled people to guard your house." Okay, Uncle Qin has some skills, and he can keep Datou safe in the past few days."

Wu Chen clasped his fists again and said, "Deputy Envoy Yu is still thoughtful. I'll ask Xing Yun later if there is a suitable candidate."

Xu Da said: "I asked your sister-in-law to bring someone over in the afternoon, but I still need to keep a few maidservants, and there is someone who can do needlework..."

"No, don't, just a few handymen are enough, especially if someone cooks in the kitchen."

Wu Chen said it very sincerely, in the eyes of others, Wu Chen is not close to women, but Wu Chen himself knows that he can't resist Wen Rouxiang, but he doesn't want to leave a debt of love, and he will never forget it when he goes back in the future. People hurt themselves!

It is best to solve this problem from the root, that is, you can't see it even if you see it, and you will be fine.

Yu Shi'an smiled and said, "I knew it would happen, so I didn't even bring my rough envoy..."

Before Yu Shi'an finished speaking, he saw Wu Chen looking in the direction of the front yard.

"Is someone here?" Yu Shi'an asked.

Wu Chen nodded and frowned.

Not long after, Gu Shiming hurried into everyone's sight, Yu Shi'an was startled, and asked in a low voice, "Why did he come?"

Song Gu said: "Last night, he was waiting at the inn and pointed out Chen Zhong's residence. It would not be difficult for him to know where Wu Chen's new house is."

Several people didn't quite understand the meaning of Song Gu's words. Gu Shiming had already walked outside the gazebo and said loudly: "Last night, you didn't tell me that the government rewarded your house. If I didn't hear about it, wouldn't I Missed the chance to help you move? I met Deputy Envoy Yu, Song Tixing!"

Gu Shiming bowed to Yu Shi'an and Song Gu, and said:
"This house is not bad, but it's a bit small. It used to be the place where an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs hid his pets in his golden house. Later, this official committed a crime and all his property was confiscated..."

Before Gu Shiming could finish his introduction, Wu Chen interrupted, "I don't have anything, so I can't use you for moving."

Gu Shiming walked into the gazebo and said in a low voice: "Chen Zhong's house was demolished last night, and now everyone in the capital knows about it. How will the officials punish you?"

The sophomore in high school was startled and hurriedly asked, "Si Zun's mansion was razed to the ground last night. Brother Wu did it?"

Several people stared at Gu Shiming with wide eyes.

Gu Shiming was a little confused, he asked: "You don't know?"

Wu Chen said, "I went by myself, why do they know?"

Gu Shiming pointed to Song Gu: "When you asked me where Si Zun's house was last night, Song Tixing was there."

Song Gu smiled and said, "I was a little tired last night, so I took a rest first. There are some things Wu Chen didn't let me talk about, so I can't speak first."

Wu Chen said, "It's not a big deal."

The sophomore said anxiously: "How can you go by yourself? Why didn't you call me?"

"What did you call you for? It's fine for me to go by myself. If I call you, how will you follow me to investigate the case in the future?"

Gu Shiming immediately said: "I came here for this matter, the officials promised you to recruit people casually, so you can't leave me behind!"

"Why are you joining in the fun? This case is not fun, so what are you supposed to do?" Wu Chen waved his hand.

Gu Shiming said anxiously: "You want to investigate the case in the capital. Although your reputation is not small now, who knows you? With me here, is it not easy to go to any yamen to ask someone for questioning?"

"Don't steal my job!" Yu Shi'an said quickly.

"Oh, with Deputy Envoy Yu and me here, I guarantee that you will get twice the result with half the effort! This is a good thing, and I don't need you to pay me a salary."

"You want to! As I said, there are many people involved in this case, and it's not good for you to get involved. Why bother?"

Gu Shiming stared: "What benefits do I want? It's a matter of gaining insight to follow along in the investigation..."

"The prince ordered you to come?" Wu Chen asked in a low voice.

Gu Shiming nodded.

"Does the official know?"

Gu Shiming nodded again.

"Let's have dinner first, and after dinner, go to find out the cause of death of those people in Neku."

……

Coincidentally, the eunuchs in charge of the internal treasury belonged to Bingjing Wu, and those three eunuchs were killed when Li Heng secretly took Chen Zhong to another courtyard. Lin Huaian.

Lin Huai'an thought that the three died of illness, so he didn't take it to heart at all, and ordered people to throw the bodies to Yizhuang. When Li Heng and Chen Zhong returned to the palace, Li Heng immediately ordered people to check the inner library, and found that the five-color jade was gone. A total of three eunuchs counted and the eunuchs who usually guarded died two days ago.

Li Heng was furious, and ordered people to go to Yizhuang to find the body, where could they find it.

Lin Huai'an was punished, so he was ordered to stay, but his official position was gone.

Ever since Lin Huai'an came into contact with Wu Chen in Yang'an County and returned to the capital, he often expressed his concerns about Wu Chen intentionally or unintentionally in front of Chen Zhong, but now he is lying on the bed and respectfully answering Wu Chen's questions .

After Wu Chen knew that the body was gone, he stomped his feet angrily, wanting to hit Lin Huai'an again.

Lin Huai'an knew that he had committed a serious crime this time, so he could only make amends again and again, saying: "... I was also deceived by lard. In the past, people who worked in the palace always died of illness, so I didn't take it seriously..."

"It's all related to Neiku, so you didn't use your brain?"

"Mr. Wu doesn't know something..."

"Deputy Envoy Wu!" The sophomore reminded.

"Yes, Deputy Envoy Wu doesn't know something. These people who are on duty in the palace... right, it is inevitable that they will suffer from serious diseases, which is commonplace..."

"Have you seen the corpse with your own eyes?" Wu Chen asked.

"I, how could I see it with my own eyes?"

"You ordered someone to throw it to Yi Zhuang without asking?" Wu Chen clenched his fists angrily.

"I asked, I asked! He said that he was fine during the day, but he died in the duty room of the inner storehouse at night when he was on duty. There was no injury on his body, so I thought it was a serious disease, so as not to be infected by others. There is no better place in the palace." ..."

"The three of them happened to be on duty together that night?" Wu Chen asked again.

"This, I didn't ask in detail."

"Who threw the bodies of the three of them to Yizhuang?"

……

Wu Chen sat in the middle of the investigation department's hall, and three young eunuchs knelt on the ground. It was these three eunuchs who helped collect the body, and then drove it to Yizhuang.

Wu Chen said solemnly: "I ask, you answer, but if there is a lie, I will kill you immediately."

The three of them just kowtowed desperately.

"How many corpses were found in the duty room of the inner library?"

"Two, two." One person answered tremblingly.

"Where was the body of the other person found?"

"In his residence, everyone else got up in the morning, but he didn't move, and the roommate wanted to wake him up, only to find that he was out of breath."
