Rebirth: Splendid Wedding

Chapter 317 Waiting and watching the changes (2)
No one could have imagined that the disappearance of Prince Yong would cause such a great influence. These days, the whole court has been rushing about this matter. He was ill and went to court, and ordered Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry to jointly try the case of Tuoba Lin being attacked.

After two days of investigation, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs were very sure that the cause of Tuoba Lin's accident was widely involved. It was not only related to the corruption case of the prefect of Shanghai City, but also related to Yang Liwan's corruption and bribery. Therefore, for a while They also struggle to keep track of things, because so many threads are broken.

For example, Qinglong, the only one who knew the details of Yang Liwan, died suddenly in prison the night before the trial. Even though he knew something was wrong, he couldn't find the murderer. Appeared.Liu Gui confessed that he had received a secret order to release He Jun, who was about to be executed, out of the dungeon, and then cleared up the relationship and asked He Jun to escort Yang Liwan into the army instead.

Liu Gui is Zhou Jinghao's subordinate and he obeys him, so he should have issued the secret order, but the secret order was burned immediately after receiving it. There is only personal evidence but no physical evidence, so Zhou Jinghao's guilt is only a little short.

Although Zhou Jinghao escaped from prison this time, there is no storm without waves. Zhou Jinghao has already made everyone suspect because of this matter, and the only thing left is evidence. They could not escape this investigation.

The Zhou family, who are usually domineering in the capital city, have temporarily restrained a lot because of this incident. What is worth celebrating is that the hawkers on the streets of the capital city do not have to be forced to fail to pay protection fees and be beaten, because those chambers of commerce are run by The Zhou family manipulated, and now that the Zhou family has been investigated, the chamber of commerce would dare to make trouble during this period.

In Fengyang Tower, Yan Feiran and Xing Hao sat opposite each other, pouring a cup of tea for each other.

Xing Hao took it over, thanked him, took a sip, and said: "Miss, after these days of investigations, my subordinates have confirmed who ordered the killer who killed Li Heng. He is the shadow of Dong Zhaoyang. Do some dirty things for him, and the subordinates also found out that after he took office in Yongzhou, his whereabouts were extremely mysterious twice."

Concubine Yan picked up the cup and was about to drink, when she heard Xing Hao's words, she paused, her eyebrows raised lightly, "Why is it mysterious, did you find out?"

Xing Hao shook his head, "The people under his command followed him to a barren mountain in the suburbs, but he was nowhere to be seen after he went up the mountain, and he did not come out after guarding for a whole day, but the next day he appeared in the yamen as usual."

Yan Feiran said: "Could it be that he deliberately went up the mountain when he found out that someone was following him, and then found a secret path to come back?"

"Probably not. The subordinates followed him twice, but they disappeared after going up the mountain, because it was too quiet in the suburbs, so they didn't dare to go too close, for fear that he would find someone following him."

"If he didn't find someone following him, then why did he go up the mountain and couldn't find anyone?" Yan Feiran lowered her head in thought. This matter is worth studying. Dong Zhao used to be Zhou Tao's student, and he was demoted because of Li Heng's incident last time. Zhou Tao interceded for him, so he was exempted from dismissal and demoted to Yongzhou County as a governor. Could it be that they are plotting something?

If they were accomplices, why didn't Zhou Tao stand up to intercede for Dong Ruojie when Dong Ruojie was abolished as the crown princess? Wasn't he afraid that Dong Zhao would rebel against him after knowing about this?

"The subordinates will continue to investigate."

Concubine Yan nodded, thought for a moment, and continued: "Also, check the relationship between Yang Liwan and Zhou Tao. It is impossible for Yang Liwan to embezzle so much money by himself. Zhou Tao is probably his accomplice. The relationship between them can eradicate Zhou Tao."

As long as the Zhou family fell, Tuoba Lin would lose a backer. Even with the assistance of the empress dowager and imperial concubine, he would lose many supporters.

"That's no problem, but right now we need to find the prince. His subordinates reported that there were only a few dead men in black at the bottom of the cliff, and there were traces of fighting there, indicating that the prince was still capable of fighting them when he fell. If you didn't see the prince's body, it means that he may have escaped."

"Well, I know." Yan Qiu had already reported these things to her last night. There is a torrent under the cliff, leading to the lower reaches of the Huzhou City Canal. The river is not deep. If Tuoba Lin was not killed, he must run there. go. "By the way, you don't need to disperse people to find the whereabouts of Tuoba Lin. You mainly follow the line of Dong Zhao and investigate the relationship between Yang Liwan and Zhou Tao."

Now not only the imperial court has sent troops to search for people, but even Prince Rui is also helping to search for them, plus the people sent by Yan Qiu, these people are enough.

"Okay." Xing Hao readily accepted this arrangement, because he really couldn't allocate so many people, and he had to train a team of elite fighters, so his energy was limited.

"It's been so long, is there any whereabouts for Xuan'er?" She recalled the nightmare that night, no matter whether Xuan'er is alive or dead, she must have a result.

Xing Hao said: "If there is, then there is nothing."

"How to say?"

"We went to the place where the young master fell into trouble. According to nearby residents, a man named Zeng San in their fishing village did rescue a little boy who fell into the water last year. At that time, the little boy was in a coma for three days before waking up. But he can’t speak. Zeng San is a gambler, he owed a lot of debt to others, and when he saw the little boy was beautiful, he bought him to a human trafficker.”

Speaking of this, Xing Hao paused for a moment, glanced at Yan Feiran, saw her face suddenly changed, sighed inwardly, and continued: "Human traffickers usually do business at the ferry in Guanshan Town, there is a The black market is full of dragons and snakes, and businessmen from all over the world come and go. And it happened a year ago, if we want to find any clues, we need some time."

The young master is so young, if someone from another country bought him, looking for him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!Because it is a black market transaction, they only look at the money and do not need any information from the buyer.

"As long as you know that he is not dead, no matter what the price is, you must find him." Although it is not good news, it finally made her feel better. At least her Xuan'er is not dead, but was sold to other place.

After parting from Xing Hao, she took a carriage directly to Renshou Temple, because she asked Qianwei to put on her clothes and put on a mask to distribute rice grains for her there. Looking at the time, the distribution should have been completed, and now she used to be Come back home with them.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Cai Ling running towards her, and said to her happily, "Princess, you came back just in time. Housekeeper Lu sent someone to report that the prince has been found!"

Concubine Yan was shocked, he found it? !He's coming back? !
