Chapter 38 Questioning Wang Xi
Han Shiyan suddenly became embarrassed.

Gu Shiwei was very calm, but it seemed that he had been aggressive and lost his gentlemanly demeanor just now.

In the early years, the imperial court also sent people to track down the whereabouts of those ordnance, but year after year passed, those "intimate concerns" did not cause any trouble, and gradually no one paid attention to it.

By the time he became a Jinshi and entered the Yushitai, this "Armor Cutting Case" had become an old antique in the warehouse, and few people mentioned it.

This time, the descendants of the Qianji Chen family risked their lives and pulled out Li Zhenxian. This was the best opportunity to revert to old things.

Han Shiyan was sitting on the horse thinking about it. Before he could think of how to apologize to Gu Shinwei, he saw the horse in front stopped.

He looked up, but his face turned dark again.

He should apologize for nothing!

He thought Gu Shiwei was trying to lure him to see some secret about the weapon-severing case, but he never thought that this shameless man would go so far as to squeeze out the last drop of his life!

With the golden door plaque, I wish I had the stone lions in front of the door equipped with big gold teeth. Except for Wang Yushi, who has been criticized for 18 years, but has remained standing for 18 years, who would be embarrassed to live there?

"Han Yushi, that Li Mao is indeed a descendant of the Qianji Chen family. His real name is Chen Shenji. According to Chen Shenji's confession, after he discovered the hiding place of Wang Xi's gold and silver, he investigated the case of severed weapons. Relevant evidence and the location of dirty silver were written to Wang Xi."

Han Shiyan's mocking words came to his lips, but Gu Shiwei turned his head and looked at him with a sincere face.

Her expression was solemn and her tone was sincere, she was clearly a gentleman and magnanimous...

Han Shiyan was ashamed again, he deserved to die!Belly sinister heart of a gentleman!

"Wang Xi did not respond at all. I have just arrived in Kyoto. If I come as the Imperial City Secretary, I am afraid that it will cause a dispute between the two offices and make the matter bigger. Therefore, I hope Han Yushi will lead the way and ask Wang Yushi , why exactly?”

Gu Shiwei said, jumped off the horse, and said Chen Shenji's words had nothing to do with her.

These testimonies are what she said to Han Shiyan now. The Kaifeng governor will hold a trial tonight, and the testimonies with her handprints tomorrow will be presented to Han Shiyan.

Han Shiyan's expression was solemn as he listened, and when he saw Gu Shiwei who was bowing solemnly to entrust him, he just wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

"I'm sorry, I was a little impatient earlier. Thanks to your help with my master's matter, I want to help you. Now that this weapon-severing case has come to me, I have no reason not to investigate."

"Although Gu Qinshi has a bad temper, he is magnanimous in his actions. I am better than him!"

Han Shiyan said, straightened his robe, then went up the steps to ask about the door.

Gu Shiwei lowered his head and rubbed the hilt of his sword. She was now walking on a tightrope. If Han Shiyan believed in her wrongly, he could still continue to be his Xiaoyao censor after only being annoyed.

If she believed Han Shiyan wrongly, there would be no one to take revenge and no one to pursue the truth.

After all, she had only known Han Shiyan for a few days.

She didn't know what Chen Shenji had left for her, so how could she lead Han Shiyan there rashly?
The door of Wang Yushi's house opened. After listening to Han Shiyan's words, the concierge poked his head out and glanced at Gu Shinwei, who was following him. Without saying anything, he picked up a lantern to lead the way.

It was different from Guan Yushi's home where one could see the end at a glance and even the mourning hall looked cramped.

Entering Wang Censor's Mansion, Gu Shiwei felt as if his eyes couldn't see enough. He could only use one word to describe everything, and that was "glorious".

Walking down a long corridor, one's eyes feel like they are about to turn golden.

"Censor Wang lives in the West Garden with his eighteen-room concubine, and Mrs. Wang lives alone in the East Garden." Han Shiyan pointed to the word "East Garden" at the end of the corridor and explained unceremoniously.Gu Shinwei twitched the corner of his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes walking out quickly.

He had red lips and white teeth, and his whole person was like a warm breeze.

The middle-aged man's protruding belly, greasy face, and thinning hair... none of these problems have ever appeared on him.

This is a man whose face you would never guess had eighteen concubines. He should be one of Mrs. Wang’s eighteen husbands!

Gu Shiwei was thinking in his mind when he heard Wang Xi on the other end speak, "Shi Yan, why are you here suddenly? I just came from Guan Yushi's house. If you are one step too late, you will be left empty-handed." I’m here late at night, do you have something important to do?”

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Shiwei curiously, "With this colleague from the Imperial City Department in tow, what kind of trouble could Wang have caused in such a battle?"

Han Shiyan nodded and took it as a greeting.

"Why didn't you take any action after you received the letter about the location of Lee Jung-hyun's dirty money?"

Gu Shiwei was immediately startled by Han Shiyan. Before, he was silent and like a ghost when handling cases. This was the first time he saw Han Shiyan working.

Is it this head-on style of going straight in and leaving no way for anyone to fall back?

Gu Shinwei folded his arms and leaned against the trunk of a big tree, staring at Wang Xi with interest.

Wang Xi was also shocked.

He frowned, obviously unhappy with the rude words of the young censor in front of him.

But he did not get angry. He hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "I did receive a secret letter. The content was about Li Zhenxian's corruption and said that he had a large amount of gold and silver hidden in his home."

"After I received the letter, I went to Li Zhenxian's home five times and sent informants in, but I got nothing."

Wang Xi said, waving his hand towards the concierge, signaling him to leave first.

"I never listen to rumors. Although our official position is not high, it is easy to open your mouth to interfere with others, but it is difficult to retract if you wrong others. Li Zhenxian has always had a good reputation and has received top marks in many assessments. Except for the break that year Regarding the weapons case, he is almost blameless as an official."

Wang Xi said and shook his head, "Of course, after being a censor for a long time, you know that people cannot be judged by their appearance, but the sea cannot be measured."

"There are those who seem to be eating bran wild vegetables, but secretly build underground palaces for themselves; and there are those who appear to be clean and self-sufficient, but are actually picking flowers. There is nothing we can't think of, but there is nothing they can't do."

"I didn't have any evidence, so I didn't touch Li Zhenxian."

He said, frowning tightly, "As for the letter you mentioned about the hiding place of the dirty silver, I have never received it."

"If there is such a letter, unless I plan to continue to lure the snake out of its hole, it is impossible not to take any action..."

Gu Shiwei looked at Wang Xi. Either he was an old fox who was good at lying, or he had indeed not received the letter.

"How do you usually receive letters like this?" Gu Shinwei asked, raising his eyes.

Wang Xi nodded at Gu Shinwei, "Snake has its own way, rat has its own way. Those who want to complain to me will usually send their letters to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop at the deepest part of Mingjing Lane. The shopkeeper After receiving the letter, he will send it to me."
