Love letters are not allowed in exorcism notes

Chapter 543: 911 is a topic that cannot be discussed

(Since the forbidden knowledge in Chapter 119 touches upon some indescribable cosmic filtering mechanism, I don’t know when it will be released. I will keep this chapter short, so please forgive me.)
"As for the matter of the imperial seal, it all started when the Joshua people tried to seize the Northern Autonomous Prefecture."

"At that time, the Joshua people wrote to the court, begging for relocation, and were willing to pay a large amount of money for it. The court did not want to pay attention, but at that time the treasury was short of funds, the army was marching west, and there were consecutive years of famine in the north, and tax revenues in various provinces were reduced. A good cook cannot cook without rice, so the court could only consider it as appropriate."

"At that time, the Joshua people made two preparations. On the one hand, they secretly pushed the Russians to move eastward and invade the northern frozen land. On the other hand, they bribed important officials in the court, hoping to push the court to sign the contract."

"The frozen land of the northern ice sheet is already uninhabited, and the court's attitude towards this matter is very ambiguous, mainly considering the issue of public opinion between the court and the public. However, at this time, the Joshua people proposed a more feasible plan, which is since ancient times."

"The importance of the Imperial Seal lies in its inheritance. Unlike other seals, it has a historical heritage. In other words, its importance lies not in the present but in the past. Documents stamped with the Imperial Seal by a monarch of a certain dynasty in the past still have very important historical value and are a basis for research."

"If we can use the imperial seal to forge an imperial edict issued by an emperor hundreds or even thousands of years ago to prove the legitimacy of the Joshua people's residence in the North, then it would be logical to use this edict as a basis to re-recognize the Joshua people's national rights, and we can give an explanation to the government and the people inside and outside."

"However, since my country has always maintained an extremely rigorous attitude towards historical records, and there are various documents that corroborate each other, a single document is obviously not enough as evidence, and it is easy to cause doubts and disputes. So the Joshua people, through Shen Jianzhen, contacted several officials in the Hanlin Academy who were responsible for sorting out documents at the time, and gathered everyone's strength to carefully fabricate a completely fictitious historical record."

"Originally, this plan was perfect. The Hanlin Academy, as the highest-level literary and historical institution in the previous dynasty, was responsible for compiling books and writing history, drafting strategies, and preserving various historical materials and documents from past dynasties. As long as there are no problems here, even if there are doubts, it will be insignificant."

"But at the last moment when the plan was about to be completed, the imperial seal was stolen."

"No one could have imagined that the imperial seal stored in the palace could be lost so easily and its whereabouts unknown. This seal, which has more symbolic significance than practical value, is usually left there unused. But after it was lost, once all the documents stamped with the imperial seal were made public, one can imagine the intensity of doubts they would face."

Having said that, Cheng Xuefei turned and looked at Wang Yunxiao.

"Everyone thinks that the president is upright, overbearing and unreasonable, but they don't know that it is this stereotype that makes them subconsciously ignore the president's delicate side. Only those who are familiar with the president know that her overbearing style is just a deliberate display in front of outsiders. When she really does big things, she is always very subtle and unobtrusive."

"Everyone thinks that the president established the Huaqing Society, controlled the news media industry, and had the right to speak, so he could make a call and the people would follow. Little did they know that long before that, the president had secretly unified the entire northern martial arts world and used the younger generation of the thirteen northern families for his own use."

"The Swallow Sect was not well-known in the martial arts world back then, but the head of the sect, He Haichuan, the successor of the White Ape Tongbiquan, Zheng Sanyuan, and the chief escort of the Fuyuan Escort Agency in Beijing, Wang Bin, were sworn brothers. They participated in the burning of the foreign church and the Frank Consulate, and have a deep connection with the President."

"So it can be said that the President was involved in the loss of the imperial seal. And Shen Jianzhen, who was the middleman in this matter, was kicked out of the President's confidants from that time on."

"It's just that the president still needed the support of the reformists at the time, so he didn't completely break off relations with him. After the new government was established, the president went to Beijing to form a cabinet, but he didn't bring Shen Jianzhen with him. This actually speaks volumes."

I see……

So the old saying goes, experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement.

Wang Yunxiao and his group of noobs had been fighting on the periphery for quite some time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on with the Shen family. After Miss Cheng's explanation, everything suddenly became clear to them.

To sum it up in one simple sentence - not a confidant, but a partner.

Now the Shen family’s subtle attitude can be explained.

Time passes.

From the moment the seal was lost, Joshua's plan to falsify historical evidence failed. Even if there were other backup plans at the time, the seal had been lost for more than ten years, and all the evidence was lost.

Therefore, the Shen family's possession of the imperial seal is not only meaningless, but also a hot potato. Shen Jianzhen himself cannot admit that he has anything to do with the imperial seal, or the incident back then.

This caused misunderstandings among the people working below, and they rushed to return the imperial seal after snatching it...

So what is the Shen family thinking now? They could have just handed over the imperial seal, but why did they make such a fuss?

"The Shen family doesn't dare to let anyone check. Some things don't weigh more than 4 taels on the scale, but they weigh more than 1,000 kilograms on the scale."

Wang Yunxiao coughed, took out a stack of documents from under the table and threw them in front of Cheng Xuefei: "Regarding what you just said, that the Shen family almost reached the end of the road during the financial crisis, I have a different opinion."

Yan Yu'an glanced at the densely packed foreign words and numbers on the document and couldn't help but frowned: "Can you give a brief summary?"

"No problem. You know I started by following the Ma family. The fox left an address on the severed hand that it sent to the Ma family, which was Shen Garden. But Shen Qingxi was not in Shen Garden."

Wang Yunxiao looked at Cheng Xuefei.

Cheng Xuefei nodded and said, "Shen Qingxi doesn't know about these things in the Shen family. After Shen Jianzhen handed the imperial seal to her, we moved to a safer place."

"No. 124 Qiuxia Road, Shen's Mansion?"

Cheng Xuefei frowned when she heard this and asked, "Where did you find out this from?"

"Someone called from No. 124 Qiuxia Road. It sounded like a middle-aged woman. The servants at Shen Garden called her Nanny Yun."

"Auntie Yun, the maid who served Shen Qingxi? I ​​know this person. What's wrong with her?"

"It's hard to say what her problem is now. Anyway, in order to stop the investigation, the Shen family left me a huge amount of hush money in Shen Garden."

Wang Yunxiao looked at Yan Yu'an: "You don't have any?"

"Have."

Yan Yu'an nodded: "When I was tracking down the clue of Yamazaki Pharmaceuticals in the dwarf shack, I also seized a huge sum of money."

"I do not have it!"

Ito Hideaki was confused: "I spent the whole morning burning rats in the underground sewer, but there was nothing but rat hair!"

Wang Yunxiao and Yan Yuan immediately looked at him with sympathy.

We all have people behind us, and you, Ito-san, you are just an exchange student.
