Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 547 Figured it out!Know where!

Qin Wenyuan followed Bai Yanguan into the study, and he closed the door to block the biting cold wind outside.

After taking a sip of tea, he put down the cup, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and asked, "Is the front line going well?"

Qin Wenyuan said with a smile: "I'm relieved to come back, does Master Bai think there will be any accidents?"

Bai Yanguan thought for a while, then smiled and nodded: "It's true, Mr. Qin is very smart. If the battle situation is dangerous, you can't come back with confidence."

"So, Master Qin has finished everything he has to do in Nanzhao?"

Official Bai Yan knew that Qin Wenyuan followed the alliance army to Nanzhao for some special things.

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and said, "It's done."

"In Nanzhao, I found out a lot of the secrets of the Big Dipper Society, and I fought against Beichen once in Nanzhao, destroying an important stronghold of the Big Dipper Society in Nanzhao, so the result is quite satisfactory."

Official Bai Yan knew that these things were considered secrets.

So he didn't ask in detail, so as not to embarrass Qin Wenyuan.

He nodded and said, "It's good to be consummated. It's even better if you can return safely from this trip."

Qin Wenyuan stroked the teacup lightly with his fingers, and said, "I have returned safely, but Mr. Bai is not very well."

Official Bai Yan paused slightly, holding the teacup, and said, "I'm impulsive."

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Bai Yanguan, and he said directly: "Master Bai, I have investigated your case clearly."

Bai Yanguan's whole body trembled, he seemed a little afraid to hear the final result.

Then, he saw Bai Yanguan looking at him with both eyes, and said word by word: "You are wronged, Zhou Qin, you didn't kill him."

"You were framed!"

Swipe it!
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan clearly saw that Bai Yanguan's dark and muddy eyes suddenly shot out a ray of light called innocence.

Then, the old man who had presided over justice in the world for decades suddenly burst into tears.

At this moment, Qin Wenyuan had indescribably complicated feelings in his heart.

He didn't know whether to be happy for Bai Yanguan or feel sad.

An old man, an old man who has never shed tears in his whole life, but at this moment, because of the word "innocent", he is crying.

Bai Yanguan is the one who fights with Li Minmin.

In the Tang Dynasty, people, even civil servants, had to go to the battlefield with swords.

Therefore, Bai Yanguan has also been on the battlefield.

He was also seriously injured.

But even though he suffered the pain of almost dying, he never shed a single tear.

And now... Bai Yanguan, who has lived for most of his life and has experienced any painful experience, has the wisdom of dealing with the world, but at this moment, tears are streaming down his face.

This really made Qin Wenyuan feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Bai Yanguan. At this moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of the truth more and more.

Strip away the cocoon and find the truth.

Return the innocence of the wronged, return the justice of the dead, and send the prisoner to prison.

This is the true meaning of Dali Temple!
Bai Yanguan took out his handkerchief, gently wiped the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, saw that Qin Wenyuan was looking at him, he shook his head with a smile, and said: "When I get old, my heart softens for some reason. Be careful, I will show you a joke."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Bai has been wronged."

Bai Yanguan shook his head and said, "I am not wronged, because I really feel that I killed someone."

He thought about it, and was about to ask something, but he was silent for a while, and said: "Although I really want to know what the truth is, I understand the rules."

"As a participant in the case, I shouldn't ask too many questions before the trial. That's against the rules."

Qin Wenyuan said: "I don't care about those, Master Bai wants to know, I can tell Master Bai in detail."

Official Bai Yan shook his head, and said, "You are already the Minister of Dali Temple, and Dali Temple, as the final judge of the Tang prison case, must have firm principles."

"I don't want you to break the rules because of me."

"Besides, knowing that I was wronged and that I'm not a murderer can already make me feel relieved."

"It's just a matter of waiting a few more days to find out the truth. I can afford to wait."

Qin Wenyuan knew Bai Yanguan's temperament.

Bai Yanguan has the kind of temperament that once a decision is made, eight horses can't pull it back.

Seeing this, Qin Wenyuan didn't say anything more.

Since Bai Yanguan was willing to wait, he had no choice but to stick to the so-called rules.

Bai Yanguan untied the knot in his heart, and his whole face became much rosier.

He also had more smiles on his face.

I saw him pick up the teacup and take another sip of the hot tea, and he felt his whole body warmer.

He looked at Qin Wenyuan and asked, "When did you come back?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "It's been a few days."

"Come here specially for my case?" Officer Bai Yan asked again.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "The matter in Nanzhao is settled, I was planning to come back, but I heard about Master Bai's case in Yangzhou City, so I hurried back, it didn't delay my business, Master Bai Don't worry."

When Bai Yanguan heard that Qin Wenyuan was not really delayed, he was relieved.

In his life, what he disliked the most was causing trouble to others, even if it was Qin Wenyuan, he didn't want to cause trouble to Qin Wenyuan.

Bai Yanguan said: "Is the trip to Nanzhao going smoothly?"

"It went well. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, everything that should be done was done."

Bai Yanguan nodded and said: "If you have done everything you want to do, that's fine. Nothing goes smoothly in life, as long as the result is good, that's fine."

He saw Qin Wenyuan looking at him, and based on his understanding of Qin Wenyuan, he knew that Qin Wenyuan must have something to ask.

He smiled and said, "Ask whatever you want, I will tell you what I know."

Qin Wenyuan laughed and said, "Master Bai is really powerful, he knows everything."

Bai Yanguan rolled his eyes: "Is this how you use it?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled, and then said, "Master Bai, were you working on an old case before the case happened?"

Bai Yanguan looked at Qin Wenyuan in surprise, and said, "How do you know?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Of course it is inferred."

Bai Yanguan's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that Qin Wenyuan would never do such meaningless things unless necessary.

Therefore, since Qin Wenyuan asked, it can only explain one thing...

His eyes flickered, he looked directly at Qin Wenyuan, and asked, "Is my case related to that old case?"

Qin Wenyuan nodded directly, without hiding anything from Bai Yanguan, and said, "It's related."

Just these two words are enough to make Bai Yanguan think about many things.

Bai Yanguan had been the Minister of the Temple in Dali Temple for many years, and later he went to the Ministry of Punishment to become the Secretary. It can be said that no one has seen many strange things in this world.

All kinds of conspiracies and calculations, cases caused by various reasons, he has seen too many cases.

Therefore, he knows far better than ordinary people what causes some people to take risks.

At this moment, Qin Wenyuan's words directly awakened the place that was originally incomprehensible.

He said: "It turned out to be like this, and I said, why is it such a coincidence."

"It turns out that I was really tricked."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Bai Yanguan and asked, "Did Master Bai make any new discoveries about the case back then?"

Bai Yanguan exhaled lightly.

There was a hint of memory in his eyes, and he said, "That was the case ten years ago."

"When that case happened, I was still the Minister of Dali Temple."

"The loss of those military salaries back then almost caused a mutiny in the army. Fortunately, His Majesty collected everything and the Ministry of Households saved money on food and expenses. It was only then that they took out the same money with difficulty to make up for the gaps of the soldiers."

"Otherwise, at that time, Datang will be really in danger."

"You know, the Tang Dynasty was just established at that time, and there were serious internal and external troubles. Any mutiny in the army would definitely cause huge changes."

"At that time, once the external enemies rush in, and if there are some minor rebellions inside, Datang will definitely be in danger!"

"Therefore, His Majesty is extremely furious. In His Majesty's view, this is simply a crime of treason."

"That's why His Majesty appointed me to investigate this case with full authority."

Bai Yanguan took a sip of tea while talking.

He sighed, and said, "But, I failed His Majesty's trust."

"In the end, I only found Zhao He, and after Zhao He's death, the case came to a stalemate."

"All the clues seem to be interrupted instantly."

"It made it impossible for me to find other clues. This case has become an unsolved case."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty understands. Your Majesty understands that it's not that I didn't pay attention, but that after Zhao He's death, all clues have been cut off. It is really difficult to investigate. Therefore, Your Majesty did not blame me."

"But this case, in my heart, has always been a hurdle that I can't get out of."

"I have solved countless cases in my life, but in the end I let His Majesty, who trusted me the most, be so disappointed. To me, this is an unforgivable thing."

"Therefore, in the past ten years, I have been thinking about whether there is a chance to re-investigate this case, and the result..."

He paused, looked up at Qin Wenyuan, and said, "I really thought of something."

"What?" Qin Wenyuan asked.

Bai Yanguan said: "Where are those military salaries going?"

"place?"

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.

Bai Yanguan said: "That horse's military salary is worth hundreds of thousands of copper coins. This is not a small amount. Even if it is piled up, it is still a small mountain."

"But at that time, the military pay was in Chang'an City, and it suddenly disappeared out of thin air."

"So, where can so much military salary go?"

Official Bai Yan looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "The people guarding the city gate at that time were all His Majesty's confidantes, so it can be confirmed that the military salary was never secretly transported out of Chang'an, and even in the past ten years, it has not been transported out of Chang'an, because Your Majesty Although I didn’t say it, I have always remembered that once a vehicle leaves Chang’an, it must be strictly inspected.”

"That's why those military salaries have remained in Chang'an City until now!"

"Back then, when His Majesty was furious, he sent people to search from house to house, and checked almost every place where people could hide things."

"But still nothing."

"so……"

Bai Yanguan said: "The military salary, which is enough to pile up a hill, where is it hidden, and it can escape that kind of search!"

"And more importantly, why hasn't it been used in ten years!"

Qin Wenyuan's heart moved, and he said: "Although those military salaries have no chance to be shipped out of Chang'an, they can actually be used, but these years, no one has been found to have used them?"

Official Bai Yan nodded and said: "That's right, in fact, Dali Temple and His Majesty's shadow guards have been paying attention to all these years. The copper coins used as military pay have special marks on them. This is also to prevent people from daring to deduct military pay. So it’s the same with that batch of military pay, as long as someone has used it, it will be discovered sooner or later.”

"But so far, those military salaries have never been used once. Don't you think this is too strange?"

Qin Wenyuan gently stroked the teacup with his fingers, his eyes flickered.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Wenyuan suddenly laughed and said: "It's really strange. Although there are people guarding the city gate, they were able to transport Zhao He away and some copper coins. Individuals can carry less, but they can be transported away.”

"But as a result, there is no circulation in the market."

"That can only explain one problem, those military salaries, they are useless."

"Why didn't it work? I think it must not be their conscience that they don't want to use."

"But..."

His eyes flashed, and he said: "They can't use it, or in other words, the military salary has not even reached their hands so far, and they are still hidden somewhere!"

When Bai Yanguan heard Qin Wenyuan's analysis, he also nodded slightly.

"I think so too," he said.

"At first, I couldn't figure out why they haven't used up the military pay for ten years. Although there are special patterns on the military pay, ordinary people can't recognize it."

"So as long as they spend it, it's actually hard to find them."

"But they still didn't use up the military pay, which made me very puzzled."

"And just a few days ago, I suddenly thought of a possibility."

Officer Bai Yan looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "It's not necessarily that they don't want to use the military pay, but that they can't use it!"

"After thinking about this possibility, I suddenly felt that my eyes suddenly became clear, and many doubts were immediately solved!"

Bai Yanguan said: "Why can't they use these military salaries? As you just said, even if we guard the gates of Chang'an City very tightly, they only need to transport them out in batches, so there is no such thing as them." The possibility of not being able to transport the money out!"

"Then, if they can't use it, there is only one possibility, and that is that the military salary, as you said, may not be in their hands!"

"But if the money is not in their hands, where will it be?"

At this moment, Bai Yanguan's old eyes shone with wisdom.

This is the wisdom he has accumulated from his experience.
