Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 185
Although Bai Sanxiu expressed contempt for the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry before, but after all, it is an old document from 20 years ago, and it really takes a while to find it.Unexpectedly, within a few days, the Ministry of Industry sent a stack of documents to Li's residence.

Li Quan specified that what he wanted was the records of Wang Tie's participation in the repair work from the 23rd to 25th year of Yonghui.Because Wang Tie didn't necessarily bury the box under the ground of the newly started building that year, or it might be the place he had handled in the past.Li Quan's original idea was to sort out Wang Tie's participation records first, and then investigate the locations one by one and ask the relevant craftsmen of the year.In fact, most of the investigation work of a case is so simple and boring, but indispensable.

However, the inadvertent words of the errand scribe accidentally saved this cumbersome process and directly gave a shortcut.

"This is Miss Bai, right? Miss Bai is well. This is the dossier Mr. Li wanted. The records for three years are here."

This stack of papers was very new, Bai Sanxiu flipped through it casually, and saw that it was copied from the original archives.It must be because the treasure box case is complicated and Li Quan is still investigating secretly, so he asked the Ministry of Industry to send the files to his home.

She accepted the document and thanked her: "It's hard work, sir. It's not easy to find this old document. I'm sorry to bother the adults of the Ministry of Industry."

The clerk said: "What the girl said is true. The files of the Ministry of Industry are also cumbersome, not worse than those of the Ministry of Households. If it is left as usual, all the things Mr. Li wants will not be turned over every month. It’s quick to pick it up the first time.”

"Lord Le?"

"Oh, the girl may not know. It was Wailang, the former director of the Temple Department of the Ministry of Rites. Last year, the villains took revenge. There was a fire at home, and Mr. Le also passed away unfortunately."

Bai Sanxiu asked in surprise: "You mean Master Le Yanle?"

The clerk was also surprised: "Miss knows?"

"This case was reviewed by Mr. Li. I heard from Mr. Li."

"I see."

Bai Sanxiu asked again: "The official said, Mr. Le once checked these files?"

The scribe nodded, and added: "Not all of them. What Master Le wants is the temple construction and repair records of Yonghui for three years around 25 years ago. So this time what Master Li wants to see, let's just find the 23-year record. gone."

"When did Master Le want these records?"

"I asked for it at the end of the year before last, but after we sorted it out and copied it, it was already the beginning of last year."

"Does the official know why Mr. Le checked these records?"

"This little guy doesn't know."

Bai Sanxiu thanked her repeatedly, and after sending the scribes away, she began to meditate on the files.

The case of the fire in Le Zhai in Anyifang was a case reviewed and retried by him not long after she met Li Guan.The murderer pretended to be an old Taoist Qian Yigua and lied that he accidentally injured someone just to gain momentum, but was finally found out by Li Quan. He deliberately set the fire for revenge because he failed the degree exam.

Although the case was solved, Li Guan still had unsolved doubts.

How could Qian Yigua, who didn't know a few big characters, know that the accounts of monks and Taoists and the degree certificates were reviewed and issued by Wailang Leyan, a member of the ancestral hall?And the incident happened in the 11th year of Wenguang, and the exam was eight years old.You must know that even those who are officials in the court mostly only understand the functions of various ministries. Generally, only the departments with frequent exchanges of a matter know the specifics of the officials they handle.

Therefore, Le Yan was the person in charge of the affairs of monkhood three years before the incident, and this kind of thing was by no means something that Qian Yigua said could be found on the street.

After that, Li Quan also tried to track it down, but he didn't find any clues.

According to the scribe, Le Yan was murdered and died shortly after receiving those old records. Is there any connection between the two?
