The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 963 Walking on Thin Ice
The severity of the situation is astounding.

Li Yujiao and Xie Hejiang looked at each other.

Xie Hejiang asked Qi Zhan: "Why did the emperor learn the truth after this person died? Could it be that Yin, the food supervisor, committed suicide in fear of crime?"

"Yes, we also found the secret found in the suicide note on him. There are indications that he committed suicide."

Li Yujiao said: "If he committed suicide out of fear of crime, he could commit suicide in his own government office. Why did he have to wait until he went to Beijing, where he would meet the emperor soon, or even commit suicide in the room of a fireworks girl in Qinglou?"

Qi Zhan raised his eyebrows: "At present, there is no trace of any homicide. So there must be a big secret behind this. If he is not protecting someone, then he is too afraid of that person. It can only be said that this person is still hiding too deeply."

"And," Qi Zhan continued, "Xie Feng was there when he was found dead."

Xie Hejiang pinched his brows: "Have you passed the trial? What did Afeng and that Qinglou girl say?"

"Yin, the supervisor of grain administration, died by hanging. According to the confessions of Xie Feng and the Qinglou woman, they have evidence of their alibi, which can be proved by many people.

But the key now is, first, the emperor and the imperial court want food, but the Lianghu area will not be able to produce food for a while.Once you check Xie Feng carefully, you may want to donate food.

Two, it is such a coincidence that one is Yin, the supervisor of grain administration, and the other is a wealthy businessman who owns granaries all over the country, especially your Xie family, and I have not reported this matter to the emperor.Moreover, just now you said that Xie Feng deliberately concealed the great disaster in the north and south from you.At best it's a coincidence, if not, the consequences are dire. "

Qi Zhan's words made Xie Hejiang and Li Yujiao somewhat at a loss.

Especially the last sentence, if Xie Feng hadn't concealed the North-South catastrophe from Li Yujiao, then the two of them would have assured Qi Zhan without hesitation that this was just a coincidence.

The couple was silent for a moment.

Xie Hejiang asked Qi Zhan: "My son, where is Xie Feng now? Can we meet him?"

"I will find a way for you to meet each other, but this matter is a big one, and I am not the only one who has the final say. The emperor recently entrusted me with another errand."

Qi Zhan said, looking at Li Yujiao worriedly: "You have been in business for many years, and you have not done any illegal things like tax evasion?"

Strictly speaking, she has two accounts, and what she is afraid of is that the big tree will attract the wind.

Seeing her like this, Qi Zhan said, "You'd better tell me the truth. Recently, due to the construction of a new palace, the national treasury is a little empty. Now that there is a catastrophe in the north and the south, the food in the two lakes can't be brought out. The emperor is very anxious. Now I am in a hurry. I investigated corrupt officials and ransacked their homes for the national treasury! But turmoil in the government and the opposition is not a good thing, so sooner or later this fire will be burned on the heads of you rich businessmen."

Li Yujiao opened her mouth, her mouth was a little dry, she thought for a while, and said to Qi Zhan, "Well, I'll go back and tidy up first, and we'll come to find the son tomorrow night, how about it?"

Qi Zhan helped his forehead: "Alright. Go back and rest early, I will send someone to tell you if there is any news. The emperor's two princes died one after another. His temper has become more unpredictable recently, and I am also walking on eggshells."

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health." Li Yujiao said.

Qi Zhan glanced at the husband and wife, and said enviously: "It's so kind of you, no matter what, the two of you always carry it together, and there is someone to share it with."
