Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 548 See through!Dark under the lights!

He said: "This reminds me of what happened ten years ago when I was ordered by His Majesty to search the entire city of Chang'an!"

"At that time, because the military salary was related to the national foundation of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty was very angry and asked us to find out where the military salary was hidden, and we were sure that the military salary was hidden in Chang'an City, so we used the most stupid, But it is also the safest way, and that is to search door to door!"

"As long as there is a place where we can put things, we searched all over."

"And in order to prevent thieves from buying government servants, our Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the Ministry of Punishment specially randomly arrange people to supervise each other, so as to ensure that no one will be bought."

"At that time, it can be said that we were really furious. Even if it was the vegetable cellar, we all got in and searched carefully."

"But in the end, even though we are so careful, we still got nothing."

"So, this shows that those thieves must have hidden the general's salary in a place that no one would have thought of."

Qin Wenyuan listened quietly to Bai Yanguan's words.

As he listened, he also thought about it in his mind.

He has also read the file of this case, so he also has some complete chains in his mind.

Now he is trying to complete these chains with the help of Bai Yanguan's analysis.

Officer Bai Yan looked at Qin Wenyuan and continued: "At first, I thought we couldn't find the military salary, then we couldn't find it at all, so after a few years, I gave up."

"Because I think the thief must have been shipped away with his military salary, and he can't be found at all."

"But I didn't expect that for a full ten years, they didn't take the general's salary away. It's so strange!"

"In addition, they have been using these military salaries, so I have a guess in my heart!"

Official Bai Yan took a deep breath and said: "At that time, they hid the general's salary in a place that no one could have imagined, and that place was not completely in their hands, or in other words, it was a place that they could not easily go to. "

"So, until now, they have not taken away that batch of military pay, and they are still hiding in place!"

"So, where is it?"

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.

He looked at Officer Bai Yan and said, "Master Bai, what other places did you search at that time?"

Bai Yanguan smiled and said: "Because this case is very important, His Majesty was furious at the time, so even our mansions were checked one by one."

"And there are only a few places that haven't been checked!"

Official Bai Yan looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said slowly, "The residence of the emperor's relatives, and... the imperial palace!"

Qin Wenyuan paused slightly with his fingers knocking on the teacup, then he suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that there are moths in the imperial palace!"

Although there is no definite evidence yet, both Qin Wenyuan and Bai Yanguan can guess that the military salaries are definitely in these places.

Because if you want to hide in the mansion of the royal relatives, or in the palace, without the permission of these royal relatives, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

So, if it is in these places, there is no doubt that they definitely did it!

Bai Yanguan sighed: "I actually don't want to believe this, but this is obviously one of the most likely reasons, so I started an investigation."

"But I didn't expect that this kind of thing happened not long after the investigation, and I was deeply imprisoned."

In fact, Bai Yanguan didn't feel that he was framed at first.

I never thought that the reason why I encountered this murder case was because of the case ten years ago!

In fact, all of this has nothing to do with it.

It was also because he was really completely deceived, he thought he had killed the person by mistake!
Therefore, he never connects the two things.

If Qin Wenyuan hadn't reminded him, he might not have connected these two things until the end.

Naturally, he would not have thought that he would be tricked by the people behind the case because he almost found out the truth.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Master Bai re-investigated the case ten years ago, who knows about this?"

Bai Yanguan's eyes flashed, and he said, "You doubt?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "Master Bai was framed shortly after re-investigating, and this matter is not easy to do, it definitely requires a certain amount of preparation, so... This shows that Lord Bai may have been framed when he first started investigating. , was discovered by him.”

"He was worried that Master Bai would find out the truth, so he acted preemptively and wanted to solve Master Bai first."

"Therefore, he, or his people, must be among these people who know about Lord Bai's re-investigation case!"

Bai Yanguan nodded.

He pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, not many people know about it, because I'm not sure if my idea is correct."

"Besides, this is a case ten years ago. If you really want to re-investigate it, you need a lot of procedures, and it's a rather troublesome thing. If it works, it's good, but if you can't find it, it's not good for His Majesty." Confession."

"That's why I thought, first investigate secretly by myself, and if I find something, I will go to His Majesty and ask for a re-examination of the case."

"Therefore, there are very few people who know about it. There are only some people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and some ordinary yamen servants from Dali Temple. There are no more than twenty people in total."

Qin Wenyuan shook his teacup lightly, and said, "The people behind the scenes are so powerful, they can't be ordinary officials and yamen servants. From this point of view, it seems that he has been planting people by your side."

"I reckon that he has actually been unstable all along. He has always been worried that what happened back then will be revealed, so he has been sending people to spy on Mr. Bai. Therefore, whenever Mr. Bai does something, he will immediately notice it."

Bai Yanguan nodded: "That's the only possibility, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to respond so quickly."

Qin Wenyuan asked again: "Did your lord find any clues?"

Official Bai Yan shook his head, he smiled wryly and said: "This matter is not easy to investigate. If you want to investigate, you have to go to the mansion of the emperor's relatives. This is not an easy task."

"And... I just had an idea, and I was in jail before I actually started the investigation."

"In the end, no clues were found."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

"Leave the case to me," he said.

Bai Yanguan looked at Qin Wenyuan.

Then I heard Qin Wenyuan say: "This case is an unsolved case left by Dali Temple, and I, Dali Temple Minister, should have investigated it!"

"So, Lord Bai, take this opportunity to take a good rest and wait for my good news."

Official Bai Yan naturally believed in Qin Wenyuan's strength.

And now that he is trapped here, he really can't do anything.

He took a deep breath and said, "Then leave it to you."

…………

"Qin Wenyuan, you have to be careful, the person behind the scenes has already figured me out, he may not have other preparations!"

"Perhaps, he has already started to guard against you. After all, your ability is known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely be careful of you."

"You must not fall for his tricks."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Lord Bai, don't worry, only a few people know about my return, and these people are the people I trust the most. I believe in my vision, and they will never betray me. "

"So, now the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. If he wants to plot against me, he must know where I am!"

"But now, he doesn't know my whereabouts at all, how can he count me?"

When Bai Yanguan heard this, he also laughed immediately.

He laughed and said, "I never expected that you would have such an effect when you went to Nanzhao."

Qin Wenyuan got up with a smile, and he said: "It's getting late, I should go too, Lord Bai, don't stay up late anymore, there are countless grievances in this world waiting for adults to clear up their grievances and find their innocence. These things hurt the body, how many people will be sad?"

Official Bai Yan understood that Qin Wenyuan was trying to persuade himself to relax.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I understand the truth, and I won't embarrass myself anymore."

Qin Wenyuan took a look at Bai Yanguan, and then said with a smile: "In three days, I will cleanse my lord's innocence!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Wenyuan pushed the door straight out and disappeared into the vast night.

Bai Yanguan stared at the direction where Qin Wenyuan disappeared for a long time.

Qin Wenyuan returned the same way, and climbed out from the courtyard wall.

Then, he took advantage of the darkness and quickly returned to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Qin Wenyuan checked the room and was relieved to make sure that no one had sneaked in after he left.

Qin Wenyuan lit the candle.

The warm yellow candlelight dispelled the darkness in the room.

Qin Wenyuan sat at the table, thinking about Bai Yanguan's words.

Official Bai Yan said that he suspected that the military pay at that time was hidden in the mansion of the emperor's relatives or in the palace.

Because only these places have not been checked.

Qin Wenyuan also recognized this point.

With the cautiousness of officials Bai Yan and the others at that time, it can be said that they were overwhelmed. If the military salary was hidden in the place they investigated, it is impossible not to find anything.

After all, the amount of those military salaries is not large, and when piled up, they are the size of a small mountain!
In this case, it is impossible to hide the truth from those experienced yamen servants.

Moreover, the three divisions supervised each other at that time, and the personnel were randomly arranged, and there was absolutely no possibility of collusion.

Therefore, the place where the military pay was hidden must be the place that was not searched at that time.

So, it is one of these places that Bai Yanguan said.

Just, where exactly?

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was thinking.

At that time, the number of royal relatives and relatives in Chang'an was not too many, but it was not too many.

There are as many as twelve.

Among them are the princes who have already been crowned kings.

Also includes Li Shimin's brother.

And Li Yuan's brother.

These people all have their own mansions outside the palace.

And these people are all royal relatives and nobles with respected status. Their mansions are by no means easy to search.

Even now... it is not easy to check.

It's fine if you have evidence.

But if there is no evidence and you want to search, then in the end, there will never be any good results.

Those royal relatives will definitely not let Official Bai Yan go.

Therefore, Bai Yanguan could not search directly.

"So, now there are thirteen choices!"

Qin Wenyuan squinted his eyes and said to himself: "East Palace, Wei Palace, Wu Palace, Han Palace..."

"Your Majesty is very affectionate, so some relatives and relatives of the emperor are allowed to stay in Chang'an for a period of time even if they are crowned kings."

"Therefore, they are all possible."

"So, where will the military pay be hidden?"

Qin Wenyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

At this moment, the brain is running crazily.

His whole body is like an incarnation of a high-speed calculator, performing high-intensity processing of all known information.

Useless information is excluded.

Organize useful information!
Then integrate and derive.

Suddenly, Qin Wenyuan raised his head abruptly.

A sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"ten years!"

He suddenly said: "Yes, ten years!"

"For a full ten years, they didn't use any of those military salaries!"

"It's definitely not that they don't want to use it, but that they can't use it!"

"So, the place where these military salaries are hidden is definitely a place where the royal relatives can't move easily, otherwise, ten years will be enough for them to transport the general salaries away!"

"As for their own mansion, as long as the door is closed, as long as the mouth of their servants is controlled, where can't they move?"

"Even if it's buried on the other side of the earth, it's time to dig it out!"

"So, these military salaries are not buried where they can easily move them with their abilities, then... there is only one possibility left!"

Qin Wenyuan's eyes were shining brightly.

The corner of his mouth suddenly raised.

The whole person directly showed a smile that saw through all the dark clouds.

"I see!"

"It turns out that they hid the military pay...in the palace!"

Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but said: "Bold and outrageous, fantastic ideas!"

"It's no wonder that officials Bai Yan and the others couldn't find it no matter how hard they searched, no wonder they even turned the city of Chang'an upside down, but they still couldn't find it!"

"Who would have thought that they would be paid by the general and hide in the palace? They would hide under the noses of Li Shimin and the others!"

"It's dark under the lights!"

Qin Wenyuan thought of a possibility, and then quickly diverged his thoughts.

Verify it in other ways.

"Stealing military pay is a serious crime of treason. They will definitely know that Li Shimin will be very angry, so they will definitely be on guard against their mansion being searched. Therefore, their mansion is actually not safe!"

"The real safe place is the imperial palace that Li Shimin never thought of."

"After all, who would have thought that the lost military salary would be under Li Shimin's eyes?"

"And they haven't used the military salary for ten years because the military salary is hidden in the palace, and the palace...is not what they want."

"Back when Li Shimin had just become emperor, he didn't have too much control over the palace, but later on, Li Shimin couldn't escape every move of the palace, so they didn't dare to touch the military pay, because they were afraid of being discovered by Li Shimin! "
