108. The Great Case of Beiping (5)

Yao Guangqi nodded, told the day's experience, and finally analyzed: "The two of them must have been the case of the salt merchant, but this is strange. Since the yamen of the governor want to solve the case, why not urge your father's yamen of the governor? I'm afraid they have any unspeakable secrets in this case. So I guess that the yamen of the governor want to solve the case, and they don't let the yamen of the governor handle the case, but instead use the forces of the jianghu. How big a bend is there, there must be a conspiracy here."

Chen Yueru did not speak immediately after hearing this, but lowered her head and pondered for a long time: "Have you ever thought that if the case is really solved, will they really give the 200,000 bounty? If it is really given, where will the money come from? My father's annual salary is only a few hundred stones, and the governor is not much more. So where does the governor's yamen pay so much money? Will the money from the treasury be used? How to make up for this deficit in the future?"

Yao Guangqi grabbed Chen Yueru's shoulders with excited hands and shook them hard: "Yes, why didn't I expect that if I investigated corruption, I will definitely find a gap. Just the number 200,000 is a major case that alarmed the government and the public. What's more, they have taken out 200,000, so they are more greedy than this number."

Yao Guangqi suddenly closed his mouth, and his face, which was originally smiling, was instantly filled with sadness, because he suddenly thought that Zhu Di had also been to Dafengtang. Last night, the two people also suspected that Zhu Di might be the real murderer behind the scenes. If it was really Zhu Di's work, then what was Zhu Di's purpose? What if it was found out that the real murderer was Zhu Di? Originally, Zhu Di's political enemies in the court were eyeing him, and with this case, the other party could make trouble. Also, if Zhu Di really did it, why did he do this? What benefits could he get? Zhu Di has great ambitions and would never destroy his future for some money! But if Zhu Di really changed, is he worth following him?

A series of questions emerged from Yao Guangqi's head, with questions hanging on each other. He was very curious about the truth, but he was afraid that the truth found in the end was not what he wanted to see, and would even ruin his revenge plan and ambitions. At this moment, he even had the idea of ​​giving up on investigation.

Chen Yueru saw Yao Guangqi's expression abnormality. Although she didn't know that Yao Guangqi had so many concerns and entanglements in her heart in an instant, she believed in this man, his talent, and his tenacity. So she knew that what could make this man so embarrassed must be an ordinary problem.

Instead of disturbing him, she silently poured a glass of water, gently placed it in front of Yao Guangqi, and then sat in front of him, waiting for the man to finish his thinking.

After a long time, Yao Guangqi suddenly sighed heavily. Chen Yueru knew that this problem must still bother him and could not be avoided. In order to make him feel better, Chen Yueru decided to divert Yao Guangqi's attention: "Is that lady very beautiful?"

Yao Guangqi was just thinking about it and suddenly heard Chen Yueru ask a question, and was caught off guard, "What lady?"

Chen Yueru smiled mysteriously: "It's the lady who saved you, the gentle and affectionate lady, have you forgotten so quickly?"

When Yao Guangqi heard Chen Yueru's tone of badness, he immediately felt a big head. He quickly shook his head: "It's not good-looking, it's not good-looking."

Chen Yueru snorted coldly: "Didn't you just say that she is graceful and her words are like orchid?"

Yao Guangqi hurriedly defended: "How could you say this? I can't say this. Besides, even if he looks good, how can you look good!"

Chen Yueru burst out laughing: "This is an important clue. That girl knows who is framing you, and is willing to save you. She is both informed and has a compassionate and kind heart. If you can find a clue from here, maybe it is not far from the truth."

When the truth was mentioned, Yao Guangqi was a little discouraged again.

Chen Yueru walked to Yao Guangqi's eyes, comforted and patted his shoulder: "No matter what, I believe in your choice."

Yao Guangqi suddenly turned around and held Chen Yueru's hand, and said in a low and affectionate manner: "Thank you."

Chen Yueru closed her eyes shyly. Yao Guangqi looked at the woman in front of her. She was so beautiful, like a fairy, as beautiful as a westerner, and beautiful as a jade. Yao Guangqi couldn't help but leaned up to her and kissed Chen Yueru on the cheek. At this moment, someone outside the window shouted: "Miss, have you gotten up?"

Chen Yueru quickly opened her eyes and replied nervously: "Wait a moment", turned around and smiled and pinched Yao Guangqi's nose: "Idiot, walk through that back window, don't let people see it."

After leaving the Censorate, Yao Guangqi did not return to Wang Maoliu's house. He needed to verify some things first, so he decided to meet Zhu Di.

It is easy to find the Yan Prince's Mansion. Everyone in Peking knows it. As long as you ask casually, someone will give you a guide. So Yao Guangqi easily found the new Yan Prince's Mansion. But how to get in? It's not like the capital, are the rules the same as before?

Just when Yao Guangqi was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw two beggars passing by the street in front of the Yanwang Mansion. Yao Guangqi's eyes lit up and he thought about it. He walked to the beggars and whispered a few words to the two beggars. The two beggars didn't believe it at first, but Yao Guangqi explained it again, and the two beggars ran away happily.

Not long after, the two beggars returned, and behind them were dozens of beggars. There seemed to be beggars shouting to run towards this place in the distance. The group of beggars came to the gate of the Yan Prince's Mansion and were surprised to see that the palace was still as usual. The two beggars also came to Yao Guangqi in confusion. Yao Guangqi smiled and said, "Come with me." Then he came to the gate of the palace and shouted to all the beggars: "Call with me, put porridge, put porridge."

The beggars also followed Yao Guangqi and shouted loudly, "Put porridge and porridge". The loud voices continued to spread in several streets and alleys. The guards of the royal palace immediately came to drive away the beggars, but the beggars did not weaken at all. Instead, the more beggars gathered, the shouts became louder and louder.

Finally, the shouting alarmed the head of the palace. Wen Zhixin, the steward of the outer courtyard of the Yan Palace, soon appeared outside the gate. When he saw hundreds of beggars gathering in front of the palace, Wen Zhixin's brows were locked tightly. However, Wen Zhixin soon discovered that a bald man stood in front of the beggar team and shouted the most enthusiastically, huh? This man looked so familiar. When he looked again, he clearly saw that it was Yao Guangqi.

Yao Guangqi also saw Wen Zhixin. When Wen Zhixin jogged all the way to Yao Guangqi, Yao Guangqi shook his head slightly and squeezed his eyes hard. Wen Zhixin reacted quickly, understood Yao Guangqi's hint, and said loudly to Yao Guangqi: "It seems that you are the leader, how about coming out to talk about it?"
