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

"At that time, because these military salaries were related to the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty was very angry and asked us to find out where the military salaries were hidden. And we were sure that the military salaries were hidden in Chang'an City, so we used the stupidest method.

But it is also the safest way, and that is to conduct a house-to-house search!"

"We searched every place where we could put things."

"And in order to prevent thieves from bribery of government officials, our Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment have randomly assigned personal personnel to supervise each other to ensure that no one will be bribed."

"At that time, it can be said that we were really ruthless. Even if it was the cellar where the vegetables were stored, we got into it and searched it carefully."

"But in the end, even though we were so meticulous, we still found nothing."

"So, this means that those thieves must have hidden the general's salary in a place that no one can think of."

Qin Wenyuan listened quietly to Bai Yanguan's words.

As he listened, he was also thinking in his mind.

He has also read the files on this case, so he also has some complete links in his mind.

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

Bai Yanguan looked at Qin Wenyuan and continued: "At first, I thought we would not be able to find military pay, and then we would not be able to 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 pay, and he can't be found at all."

"But I didn't expect that for ten years, they didn't have any general pay to transport them away. This is so strange!"

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

Bai Yanguan took a deep breath and said: "At that time, they hid the general's salary in a place that no one could imagine, 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, they have not taken away that batch of military pay until now, and they are still hiding it in place!"

"So, where is it?"

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.

He looked at Bai Yanguan and said, "Sir Bai, what other places did you not search at that time?"

Bai Yanguan smiled and said: "Because this case was very important, His Majesty was extremely angry at that time, so even our mansion was checked one by one."

"And there are only a few places that have not been checked!"

Bai Yanguan looked at Qin Wenyuan and said slowly: "The residences of the emperor's relatives and... the palace!"

Qin Wenyuan paused slightly while tapping his fingers on the tea cup, and suddenly laughed and said: "It seems that there is a moth in the royal family!"

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

Because if you want to hide in the residence of the emperor's relatives or in the palace, it is absolutely impossible to do so without the permission of these emperor's relatives.

So, if it is really in these places, there is no doubt that it was definitely them!

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."

"Unexpectedly, not long after the investigation, something like this happened, and he was imprisoned."

In fact, Bai Yanguan did not feel that he had been framed at first.

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

In fact, all of these have nothing to do with each other.

It was actually because he was completely deceived, and he even thought he had killed someone by mistake!

Therefore, he never connected the two things.

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

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

Qin Wenyuan said: "Master Bai is re-investigating the case ten years ago. Does anyone know about this?"

Bai Yanguan's eyes flashed and he said, "Are you doubtful?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "Master Bai was framed not long after he re-investigated, and this matter is not easy to do. It definitely requires certain preparations, so...this shows that Master Bai may have been framed when he first started investigating.

, and he discovered it.”

"He was worried that Lord Bai would find out the truth, so he took the initiative and wanted to kill Lord Bai first."

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

Bai Yanguan nodded.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, not many people know about this, because I am not sure whether my idea is correct."

"And after all, this is a case ten years ago. If you really want to re-investigate, it will require a lot of procedures and it will be a troublesome matter. If it works, that's fine, but if it still can't be found, Your Majesty won't be able to do anything.

Explain."

"So I thought that I would investigate secretly by myself first. If I find anything, I would go to His Majesty and ask for a re-investigation of the case."

"So, very few people know about it. There are only some people from the Ministry of Punishment and some ordinary government servants from Dali Temple. The total number does not exceed twenty."

Qin Wenyuan gently shook the teacup and said: "The person behind the scenes is so powerful that he cannot be an ordinary official or government servant. From this point of view, he has been placing people beside you."

"I estimate that he has always been unsettled. He has always been worried that what happened back then will be exposed, so he has been sending people to secretly monitor Mr. Bai. Therefore, whenever Mr. Bai does something, he will immediately notice it."

Bai Yanguan nodded: "This is the only possibility, otherwise, he would not have been able to respond so quickly."

Qin Wenyuan asked again: "Have you found any clues?"

Bai Yanguan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This matter is not easy to investigate. If you want to investigate, you have to go to the residence of the emperor's relatives. This is not an easy task."

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

"In the end, no clues were found."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

He said: "Leave this case to me."

Bai Yanguan looked at Qin Wenyuan.

Then Qin Wenyuan said: "This case is an unsolved case left by Dali Temple. It should have been investigated by me, the minister of Dali Temple!"

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

Bai Yanguan naturally believed in Qin Wenyuan's strength.

And now that he is trapped here, there is really nothing he can do.

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

…………

"Qin Wenyuan, you must be careful. The person behind the scenes has even plotted against me. He may not have other preparations!"

"Perhaps, he has already begun to be wary of you. After all, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty knows your abilities. He will definitely be wary of you."

"Don't fall for his tricks."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Bai. Currently, 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 has to know where I am!"

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

When Bai Yanguan heard this, he immediately laughed.

He smiled and said: "I didn't expect that a trip to Nanzhao would have such an effect."

Qin Wenyuan stood up with a smile, and said: "It's getting late, and I should leave. Master Bai, don't stay up late anymore. There are still countless grievances in this world waiting for you to clear them and find innocence. If you are because of

These things hurt the body, how many people will be sad?"

Bai Yanguan understood that Qin Wenyuan was trying to persuade him to relax.

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

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Bai Yanguan, then smiled and said: "In three days, I will clear your name for you!"

After saying that, Qin Wenyuan pushed the door open and disappeared into the night.

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

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

Then, he quickly returned to the inn under the cover of night.

After returning to the inn, Qin Wenyuan checked the room and made sure that no one had come secretly after he left. He was relieved.

Qin Wenyuan lit the candle.

The warm yellow light of the candle dispelled the darkness in the room.

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