Chapter 308: Witnesses found, targets disappeared collectively!

Che Mingyuan knew that his old friend was teasing him, but he was not angry and laughed a few times.

“It’s all thanks to Brother Wei. If it weren’t for Brother Wei, I would still be recuperating at home.”

Wei Jie looked at Che Mingyuan in surprise. He hadn’t seen him for several years. , a person who is as big as an ice cube can actually joke?

He glanced at Shen Lanxi without leaving any trace. As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Only when you follow the right person can you have such a relaxed attitude!

"There are many people with mixed eyes, so don't say much. Congratulations!" Wei Jie said sincerely.

Che Mingyuan accepted it with a smile: "The official uniforms for me and your Excellency haven't been finished yet. When the official uniforms are finished, we will come to Dali Temple every few days."

Wei Jie understood. My old friend was saying that Shen Lanxi came to Dali Temple every day.

It relieved him a lot of pressure.

After all, a place like Dali Temple does not allow women to come in and out every day.

"Thank you Master Shen for your sympathy, and thank you Brother Che for your kind words."

Shen Lanxi smiled, Wei Jie is the Minister of Dali Temple, her immediate boss. Wei Jie is a sensible person and understands that giving her convenience means giving convenience to himself.

What's more, Che Mingyuan is indeed a rare talent, and she appreciates the recommendation.

Wei Jie led him through a formality in Dali Temple, and despite the angry looks of the adults in Dali Temple who dared not speak, he was considered to have taken office.

From then on, everyone who came to Beijing with her, including her, had an errand in the capital.

Under the title of Minister of Dali Temple and His Majesty's imperial edict, she openly entered and exited the Treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs to investigate the Wei family's army grain and grass case.

She really found clues. Two convoys transporting grain and grass openly left the city. There was no way there were no clues at all.

"Bring Zhang Younian, Feng Qing and others who were guarding the city gate immediately for questioning."

The two convoys left the city that day, and it was these people who guarded the city gate. However, the record of leaving the city only recorded one convoy. She has found witnesses to prove that there were indeed two convoys out, and both were dressed as officers and soldiers.

The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.

Such a major breakthrough must be reported to Emperor Renxiao to show her loyalty as a minister.

The men went to get the person, but her memorial was sent to the palace.

The oral instructions issued by Emperor Renxiao came at the same time as the subordinates who took the people.

"Lord Shen, it's bad, all those people are gone. I asked, they used different excuses to leave the city."

The guard who passed the order heard it with his own ears, and Shen Lanxi accompanied him The guards came into the palace together to explain.

Before leaving, he left a message: "Surround the residences of these people and ask people who are familiar with these people to go to Dali Temple to question them."

"Yes."

Emperor Renxiao After hearing the news, they were furious, and then said angrily in an unbelievable and incomprehensible tone: "They are court officials, how could they do such a thing?"

Do they know what they are giving up? It is an official position that no one can get despite all their efforts. It is an opportunity for rapid advancement.

When Leng Buding thought of the words "Emperor Zhou", Emperor Renxiao became even more furious.

"Okay, put your hands under my nose. Lan Xi, check it out for me. I will immediately issue an edict and ask the six departments to fully cooperate with you to catch this thief. If you encounter this thief during the arrest, , I allow you to mobilize the capital Any soldier in the yamen."

Shen Lanxi: "I accept the decree!"

This decree seems to give great power, but in fact it is just a good name. Very useful. A yamen is equipped with no more than thirty people, including civil servants such as scribes, and the number that can really be mobilized is only a dozen or twenty.

Even if all the people in the yamen in the capital were gathered together, there would not be enough people for a team of Royal Guards.

The latter one is completely useless, but the former one is more reasonable if the six departments cooperate.

What Shen Lanxi didn't know was that after she left, Emperor Renxiao called Zhou Ruyuan into the palace. "There is a rebellious traitor who calls himself Emperor Zhou, and has reached out to the court. I have ordered Lan Xi to investigate the matter thoroughly. She is a woman, and it is inconvenient to investigate the case. I order you to investigate the matter with her, and there must be no mistakes. ! ”

Zhou Ruyuan was inexplicably excited: "Thank you, Father."

He thought that after returning to Beijing, he would sit on the bench for a long time, but he did not expect that his father would arrange it for him so soon. Errands.

His father arranged for him and Shen Lanxi to be together, and his intention was self-evident.

But when he thought of Wei Dongzhu beside Shen Lanxi, Zhou Ruyuan's eyes darkened again.

The imperial edict in hand is not as easy as imagined at first.

In less than an hour, Shen Lanxi received the news of the joint appointment, and sneered as she threw the imperial edict somewhere casually.

Let’s just say that the edict was not very clever, but it turned out to be waiting for her here.

"Sir, what is your Majesty's will?" Che Mingyuan understood in his heart and did not open his mouth to say it clearly.

Shen Lanxi said without any scruples: "Constraints, restrictions, promotions and demotions, trying to step on me and give Zhou Ruyuan the upper hand."

Che Mingyuan was frightened and quickly looked to the left and right. Fortunately, they were all his own people. .

"Sir, should we go to Dali Temple now, or visit those people's homes?"

Shen Lanxi: "Visit!"

"Yes!"
< br>

After Zhou Ruyuan received the order, he went to Dali Temple to meet Shen Lanxi. As you can imagine, he came to nothing.

"Do you know where Mr. Shen has gone?"

The officials of Dali Temple kept very secretive about Shen Lanxi. When they heard that Zhou Ruyuan was here to cooperate in the investigation, they all became aware of it.

“We don’t know where Master Shen has gone. There are differences between men and women. It is not convenient for us to talk to Master Shen.”

“Master Shen just entered Dali Temple, and we were with her. Not spoken.”

Since His Majesty has that heart, King Zhennan also has that heart. Presumably, he doesn’t want to see women show up in public and have too much contact with men!

"Perhaps Your Majesty, you can ask Mr. Wei. I have no other intention. Mr. Wei is the one who is going to the top of the mountain. I want to tell Mr. Wei where Mr. Shen has gone."

Zhou Ruyuan thanked the adult who spoke and immediately went to find Wei Jie.

Shen Lanxi visited all these people's homes for most of the day.

Che Mingyuan: "These people either have family members who died young, or their family members are not in the capital. They usually act like they are very familiar with their neighbors and colleagues. But if you take a closer look, you don't have much interaction with them."< br>


Shen Lanxi suddenly had a bold guess.

“Is it possible that these people have assumed the identities of others?”

Che Mingyuan also noticed it.

“These people all have one characteristic. Either their wives are dead, or they are unmarried, and they are all alone!”

“I will ask someone to inquire about their past.”


Shen Lanxi's eyes were bright: "If they are not imposters, then these people have taken orders from someone a long time ago and were manipulated by others."

Che Mingyuan felt terrible when he thought about the second scenario. He might as well be imposters. Woolen cloth.

If it was really arranged since childhood, how early did the person behind it start playing this game of chess!
