As soon as Chang Huai left, Deng Ting couldn't help but rejoice and said: "Baihu, now I can be more convinced that this case is related to An Jizong." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info wants me to say that the rich boy who is seen by people should be him! ”

Looking at the other people's expectant expressions although they didn't echo it, Tang Feng seemed more cautious. I saw him close his eyes and think for a while before he said, "Although I hope so, it is not so simple to convict a prisoner of guarding. If there is no substantial and convincing evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult to convict him, and the people in the Zhejiang Yamen will not allow me to do this! ”

Yang Zhen, who had provoked everyone's thoughts just now, had also calmed down at this time, only to see that he then nodded and said: "Baihu's concerns are not unreasonable, at least with the evidence we have so far, it can't be clearly pointed to Eunuch An." After all, all this is just our speculation, and the rich boy who was seen as being just a back, and in the dark night, what can it mean? ”

Even Wei Changdong was also on their side: "Not bad." In the final analysis, this case is still closely related to several major yamen, and only when they think that it is most advantageous to sue Eunuch An to the court as the culprit can we state this view the most successful. Now, it seems, is not the time. ”

"And when is the time?" It was Zhao Jie who spoke, he was the most hopeful of so many people to bring down Eunuch An quickly. As the first person to betray Shen Zhuo, he naturally understood that if Shen Zhuo and An Li were not defeated, they would be the first to dispose of themselves.

"Let's wait and see, the longer the time drags on, the more anxious those officials will be, and then we will knock on the side, and it will be done!" Yang Zhen said soothingly.

When everyone dispersed, Tang Feng left Yang Zhen behind. He stared at the young man for a long time before he spoke: "Dong Ting, are you so sure that this case is related to Eunuch An?" Where is his motive for committing such a big case, after all, he is already a eunuch in a province, and he has a lot of silver, why should he take such a risk? This is one of the few words he uses to call Yang Zhen instead of Erlang, which shows his cautious attitude.

Yang Zhen just smiled indifferently: "I don't dare to guarantee this." But if you want me to say, it doesn't really matter who the culprit is; What matters is who we need to be the culprit! I think in the whole of Hangzhou, there is no one who is more beneficial to us than Eunuch An is the culprit, isn't it? As for his motive for committing the crime, I can't guess it anymore. His expression was very calm, as if he was just talking about an extremely ordinary case.

Tang Feng suddenly smiled when he heard this: "Yang Erlang, Yang Erlang, what kind of person are you?" looks like he is only at the age of the weak crown, but he has such a deep attainment in the prison, and now he will use the means of planting. I can't imagine what it will be like when you practice for a while. ”

"It's just that I observe more carefully and think deeper than others, and it's nothing." Yang Zhen seemed to say humbly, and then said: "I don't know what the intentions of the hundred households are?" ”

"I'm only worried that after we identified An Li, the other yamen found out that there was another culprit in this case, then we would be in a difficult situation, so we would hesitate. In fact, now my thoughts are also average, and then I have to continue to investigate the case and find the whereabouts of the real culprits, if I can't find them, then I can identify Eunuch An. Of course, during this period, we can also collect more evidence that can identify him as the culprit! Tang Feng finally revealed his true intentions.

Yang Zhen nodded again and again: "This is indeed much better than what I wanted to say about it as the culprit before, so let's do it according to the wishes of the hundred households." ”

"Have you thought about one thing? Once we really put Eunuch An into the crime, we will offend the palace, and then the situation of our people will be even worse. Tang Feng asked as if reminding.

Yang Zhen was stunned and shook his head with a wry smile. To be honest, as a person who is mature in his thinking, he still doesn't know much about the rules of the game in this era, Yang Zhen will only take into account the surrounding environment before making every decision, and as for what kind of reaction the big people in the capital thousands of miles away will have, it's not for him to ponder.

Tang Feng also laughed when he saw him: "If you can even take these into account, then I have to wonder what your identity is." In fact, at the moment, we have a deep disagreement with Eunuch An, and it is better to be able to bring him down, as for what will happen later, we don't have to pay too much attention to it. I just want to tell you that in the future, if you sit in a higher position, you can't think about such things as easily as they do today. ”

"Thank you for mentioning it!" Only then did Yang Zhen understand that Tang Feng was a cultivator, and said gratefully.

"Go ahead, don't forget that we still have those vault guards on our hands, and maybe they can ask something more out of their mouths." Tang Feng finally reminded him, and Yang Zhen understood and left.

In the next few days, Yang Zhen and the breakthroughs they focused on all fell on those guards. After learning that Lu Zhongming's identity was exposed, coupled with Yang Zhen's not too detailed speculation about the process of their silver theft, and having had enough of Jinyiwei's suffering, some people couldn't stand it, so they had to obediently tell the whole story. It turned out that in the early days of February, Lu Zhongming started the operation of stealing the silver in the treasury under the pretext of repairing the ground of the silver treasury.

Lu Zhongming brought some craftsmen to dig up the stone slabs inside and renovate them, and the soldiers outside naturally didn't pay much attention to them because of their identities. But on the fifth day of the second lunar month, a soldier accidentally discovered that there was another mystery in the cart that transported dirt and other sundries every time, and there were many silver ingots hidden. It made them dumbfounded.

While they were stunned, the craftsmen suddenly relented, and flashed their swords to the necks of the unsuspecting soldiers. At this time, after Lu Zhongming came out to identify himself, he gave them two choices, either to be killed and charged with stealing treasury silver, or to cooperate with them and get a reward of 5,000 taels each.

Faced with the threat of death, and the temptation that was extremely great for them, these soldiers finally chose the latter.

After that, things were much simpler, and Lu Zhongming relied on the cover of these people to transport the silver out of the silver vault more easily. As for how much money they had stolen, the soldiers did not know. They really didn't expect the other party to be so frustrated, and took most of the treasury silver at once.

After Lu Zhongming suddenly drowned, the soldiers thought that everything was over, and naturally did not dare to mention the matter. And after the crime, when they learned that millions of taels of silver had been stolen, they were even more daring, after all, they also became accomplices at this time.

In this way, the entire process of the silver theft case has been completely solved, and now Yang Zhen and the others only have the puzzle of finding out the culprit behind the scenes. But apart from An Li, they really couldn't find a second more suspicious person, and the case temporarily entered a bottleneck.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was the second half of April, the weather was getting hotter, and Hangzhou, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, once again showed its colorful side. Only the soldiers who were still at the city gate checking the luggage of passing merchants and passers-by were still reminding everyone that there was still a big case in Hangzhou that had not been solved recently.

As long as the people do not leave the city, they will forget about the theft of the treasury because of their busy lives. But those adults don't have such a good mentality, as long as the case is not solved, they will always have a sharp sword hanging over their heads that can cut off their black gauze hats at any time, which makes them unquiet all day long.

Especially this afternoon, when an official document from the capital was sent to the governor's yamen, and he copied several other yamen, the expressions of those chief officials became even more gloomy.

More than half a month after the incident, the imperial court finally settled the case -- ordered the local officials to crack the case within 30 days, retrieve the treasury silver, and arrest all the culprits. Otherwise, what awaits them is not just as simple as losing their official positions and resigning.

Soon after receiving this official document, several adults gathered at the governor's yamen again, and at the same time, Tang Feng and Yang Zhen, two Jinyi guards who were ordered to investigate the case, were also called.

Because the matter had burned his eyebrows, Ye Tianzu no longer said any polite words, and asked bluntly at that time: "Tang Qianhu, it's been more than 20 days, have you found any useful clues?" And is there an eyebrow for the identity of the culprit? ”

The other officials also looked at Tang Feng expectantly. After all, they had found out most of the lost silver in a short period of time, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of taels and the culprit should not be a problem.

But Tang Feng disappointed them, only to see him shake his head slightly: "Although they have asked about the process and method of theft from those silver vault guards, they only know that Lu Zhongming is in charge of this matter. But now that Lu Zhongming is dead, the clues to investigate further have long been broken, so he ......"

In fact, Jin Yiwei had already reported these to several major yamen, and when they heard such a statement, their faces became even more gloomy: "Isn't there any other clue?" Can't even find a suspect? ”

Yang Zhen could see that these officials were on the verge of an outbreak, and as long as they reported the name of anyone at this time, they would arrest them and torture them before anything else.

Tang Feng wanted this opportunity, only to see that he was embarrassed, and said a little hesitantly: "It's not that there are clues and suspects at all, it's just that even the lower officials themselves don't believe it very much, so they haven't reported it to your lords for a long time." ”

"Oh? But what clues were found, who was that person? Ye Tianzu couldn't help but ask.

"Do you remember the murder on the West Lake? That case had a lot to do with the theft of the silver vault, and we also found one of the people who had something to do with the boat that had been killed cleanly. ”

"Who is it?" Seeing that he was very cautious when he spoke, the officials couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"An Jizong!" Tang Feng finally saw the dagger and said the name that had been prepared for a long time!

Happy weekend everyone, ask for tickets and let passers-by have a great weekend!!!!
