The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 184
Xuan Shijing walked in front, Princess Jinyang followed beside Xuan Shijing, and Wu Junyan followed Xuan Shijing, walking with Gao Jun and the people behind Gao Jun.

The three people behind Gao Jun all came with their affairs. After Xuan Shijing asked Gao Jun, he naturally knew what his little prince wanted to do by asking him to bring someone here.

Soon, everyone arrived at the deserted flower bed behind the treasury. Above the flower bed was facing the two windows of the treasury.

Xuan Shijing gave an order, and the three people brought by Gao Jun started to move.

Sure enough, as Gao Jun said, the layer of turf on the flower bed was laid later, and a large area can be lifted up with a light pull. The soil is also loose. It may be that it has been turned too many times before, and the soil is already a little dry. And the grass is almost completely dead.

The three of them started digging down with their shovels. The things were buried very shallowly. After digging a few shovels down, they heard the sound of the shovel hitting the wooden box.

The three of them glanced at Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing waved his hand to signal them to continue digging,
Soon, two big boxes were dug out, but they were not buried deep. The two big boxes were buried side by side. After the soil around the boxes was completely cleaned, Gao Jun stepped forward and opened the box.

"Empty?" Xuan Shijing was stunned after seeing the inside of the box, why is it empty?
Everyone looked at each other, but Wu Junyan spoke first: "It seems that the thief first stole the money from the warehouse window and buried it here, and then quietly transferred the money away."

Xuan Shijing nodded, agreeing with Wu Junyan's statement. Originally, it seemed unrealistic to expect to recover some money from the whereabouts of this box that would not be transported away in the future.

"In that case, the person who stole the money must be someone from the academy." Princess Jinyang leaned on her chin and said, "Only people who are in Lushan Academy can enter and leave without being noticed by the academy. Well, besides, transporting such two large boxes of money can’t be done in a few trips.”

"Young Lord, what the fourth son said is correct, do you want your subordinates to send someone to investigate in the academy?" Gao Jun echoed.

"How to investigate?" Xuan Shijing asked: "If you investigate these students in the academy with such a great fanfare, it will definitely make the thieves get wind of it and become more cautious. In this way, it will be easier to solve the case. Far away."

"Brother Jing, you can think about it in a different way. First exclude some people, um, those who steal must not be rich and powerful, because these people don't look down on the money of the academy. In this way, exclude A small group of people, isn't it?" said Princess Jinyang.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "That's right, the scope of this investigation has been narrowed down a bit, but this is Lushan Academy, not the Imperial College, there are more than 100 students, and those whose family background is said to be rich and powerful can have as many as 30. One, the remaining [-] or so people are not a small number, besides, the [-] people are not completely without suspicion, but their motives for committing crimes are relatively small."

"That's right. As the saying goes, you know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart." Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "Although the motives are a little smaller, the students in the academy have been divided into two groups. , one group is motivated by crimes, we can first confirm the innocence of these 30 people, we just need to send someone to secretly check whether these [-] people have any abnormal behavior compared with usual, after all, they stole the academy. With a large sum of money, it is impossible to be at ease in your heart, isn't it much clearer than going to investigate in a mess?"

"You have a good idea. It's a good idea to pick it out first. I'll listen to you." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "As expected of the witty and clever Li Silang." The approving look in his eyes was taken seriously by Princess Jinyang with.

After receiving Xuan Shijing's praise, Princess Jinyang raised her face and said proudly: "That's right, my son was brought up by father alone."

Yes, as expected of the child brought up by His Majesty Li Er, he immediately cleared up his thoughts, formulated a plan, and guessed the prisoner's psychology along the way. Although he is still relatively immature now, a ten-year-old child is already very mature. It's evil.

"Young Master, Fourth Young Master, how should we investigate the remaining seventy people?" Gao Jun asked for instructions.

"Li Silang, do you have a good plan?" Xuan Shijing looked at Princess Jinyang with a smile.

Seeing Xuan Shijing's eyes on her, Princess Jinyang smiled slightly: "It's simple, isn't Brother Jing studying in this academy, the 30 people will be handed over to Gao Jun, and the remaining seventy or so people , in order to avoid agitating others, I can only hand it over to Brother Jing."

"More than seventy people, leave it to me?" Xuan Shijing pointed to himself.

"That's right." Princess Jinyang raised her eyebrows: "The students of Lushan College don't know your identity, brother Jing, and it's normal to chat among classmates. It depends on what brother Jing can ask. For example, which student has spent a lot of money recently, which student is often away from the dormitory, which student disappeared at night and so on."

The co-authoring is to let myself get the news, Xuan Shijing smiled, this is a way, everything is carried out quietly, don't be afraid to startle the snake, as long as you can find out a suspicious clue, you can follow the clues to find it.

The seventy people are in charge of himself. Although there are seventy people, in fact, Xuan Shijing doesn’t have to cover everything if he only asks about this kind of gossip. Now he is a little worried about Gao Jun’s side. If you want to investigate thirty wealthy students without making any noise, will there be a shortage of manpower?
"Gao Jun, have the people from Shanxi Zhuangzi come over? Do you have enough people?" Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Jun and asked.

Gao Jun shook his head: "The group of people are still on their way now, and I'm afraid it will take two or three days to reach Chang'an. Before, because there was nothing to do and the manpower in the mansion was sufficient, I didn't write a letter to urge them to hurry. Manpower." Gao Jun paused: "The subordinates will definitely try their best to arrange it."

Princess Jinyang who was standing aside heard what Xuan Shijing said, and also understood the meaning of his words. It seemed that there was not enough manpower. Should she "borrow" a few people from her father?Anyway, this is the first time I have participated in a case, so I can't let something go wrong because of this "little thing", that would be a disappointment.

Thinking of this, Princess Jinyang said excitedly to Xuan Shijing: "Brother Jing, why don't you ask some people to help you?"

"Huh?" Xuan Shijing was stunned, Sizi wants to send someone over to help?Although it is said that Sizi has become independent in the palace, she is still an underage princess and has not opened a mansion outside the palace. Where can she find someone?

It must be to exploit Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai brothers.
