Chapter 756: Confusing

Mi Yan did not disappoint Li Xin, and it only took two days to send a detailed investigation document to the desk of Ying Tianfu Yamen. This investigation document is the result of the collaboration between Mi Yan and Zheng Sanjun, and it is extremely efficient. However, the two of them could not see a trace of a smile on the face of Li Xin, who was holding the official document. A trace of worry flashed in Mi Yan's eyes, but on the contrary, Zheng Sanjun was in his chest.

"That's what you guys are looking at?"

Mi Yan nodded, and then lowered his head a little weakly. Zheng Sanjun laughed dryly twice, picked up the tea bowl in front of him and took a sip.

"Do you have any questions?"

How could Li Xin not have any doubts, Li Shuangcai was not mentioned in this official document, and Li Shuangcai, as the person in charge of the military port materials, how could he not appear a word?

"So, this military port fire was all done by Shao Hualong alone?" Li Xin held back his anger and asked in a calm tone.

"Exactly! The responsibility is all in Shao Zongbing! The truth of the matter is very simple, Shao Hualong has always had bad intentions and a heart of disobedience, this time he first created a fire in the military port, and then took advantage of the chaos to try to take the defense of Nanjing. Fortunately, thanks to the Three Guards under the command of the Marquis of Zhen, this failed to cause irreparable consequences! ”

Li Xin asked again in the calmest tone possible: "Then may I ask, how did Shao Hualong enter the heavily guarded powder magazine, and how did he set it on fire?" He shook the official document in his hand, although it was a long story, but he was vague about how Shao Hualong would do it.

"There are all human and material evidence, Shao Hualong can't deny it, these witnesses are all his subordinates, even if Shao wants to jump into the Yellow River, he can't clear his suspicion!" Zheng Sanjun seemed to have been prepared, and the question was not answered.

What does it mean that there are both human and physical evidence? Li Xinzhi felt that Zheng Sanjun was diverting his attention, and at this time, he no longer planned to go around in circles with him, so he bluntly asked: "Li Shuangcai is in charge of the supplies of the military port, why is there no mention in this official document?" ”

Zheng Sanjun only replied lightly: "It's useless to mention this person, why mention it again?" ”

This sentence made Li Xin's head even more chaotic, he already knew that the two of them sent the official document to investigate, it must be untrue, there were many evasions, and without waiting for Li Xin to continue questioning, Mi Yan suddenly hissed: "Don't ask!" If it is pursued further, it will be an unprecedented scandal since the formation of the Three Guards! ”

The premonition was fulfilled, Li Xin's body was trembling, and he almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Say!" Say it all out of 1510! ”

"Mi Jian Jun, why do you ......"

Zheng Sanjun tried to stop him, but Mi Yan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "The lower official said that the Marquis of Zhenyu will definitely investigate to the end, and it can't be hidden!" Then he shook Li Xin to the ground again, and said with a depressed expression: "The Zhenyu Marquis is not bad, the fire in the military port is indeed related to Li Shuangcai!" And it's a lot to do with it! ”

Li Xin stared at Mi Yan and listened word for word, how much did the fire in the military port have to do with Li Shuangcai!

"After a preliminary investigation! At the time of the fire in the powder magazine, there was a merchant Fan Shi who transported goods into the warehouse. Under the vine and melon, this Fan City has a lot of dealings with Li Shuangcai! ”

Li Xin's heart gradually sank, and the worst premonition gradually became a reality, and his subordinates could not escape the corrosion of this sugar-coated shell in the prosperous Nanjing.

I only heard Mi Yan pause for a moment and continued: "After careful and thorough investigation, Li Shuangcai has a three-entry mansion in Xujia Lane in the north of the city, and there are ......"

"And the golden house?" Li Xinshi couldn't help but blurt out. Mi Yan's expression is complicated, there is heartache, there is incomprehension, there is regret, although he and Li Shuangcai have had conflicts, but after the previous drama of peace, the relationship between the two has been hot, and what makes Mi Yan appreciate even more is that since this person has been in charge of the supplies of the military port fleet, he has acted extremely carefully and meticulously, and he has never had a half-point difference. But because of this little thing, there was an earth-shattering commotion, how could he not regret it?

But regret is regret, Mi Yan knows that these scandals must not be made public, those officials in the city who are eyeing these things have learned of these things, and they don't know how to make a big fuss, and the three guards have just gained a firm foothold for fear that they will be shaken again.

And Zheng Sanjun, who was in charge of the investigation with him, pointed out bluntly that this matter must not be exposed, and he could not even speak directly to the Marquis of Zhenyu, and the two hit it off, and they had the official document in Li Xin's hand. The two of them naturally put all the responsibility on the head of the chief soldier Shao Hualong, in fact, this person was not wronged, didn't he also take advantage of the chaos that night to plan to take advantage of the fire to rob? Let him subjugate the law today, not only to remove the last opponent in the city of Nanjing, so that the Three Guards Army can further completely control the city of Nanjing, but also to make the Three Guards gain the sympathy of the people in the city, killing two birds with one stone, Zheng Sanjun thinks that even if Li Xin perceives that this official document is fake, he will pretend not to know.

However, Mi Yan and Li Xin have been thinking about it for a long time, and they have made his temperament clear, but they are afraid that the Marquis of Zhenyu will not pretend to be confused as they wish. Now that the facts have proved Mi Yan's judgment, Li Xin did not pretend to be confused, and asked the truth of the matter.

Li Xin tore up the official document in his hand and raised his hand to scatter the shredded paper like snowflakes.

"Rewrite! I want a document that is true and tells the truth! Although I have never stressed the importance of maintaining integrity, that does not mean that I will not punish this phenomenon severely! You go to check, is there a corresponding clause in the military regulations of the Three Guards? If there is, you must act according to the rules, otherwise how will these military regulations serve the public in the future? Everyone, including me Li Xin, as long as they do something that violates military law, they will have to pay the price! ”

Naive! This is Zheng Sanjun's evaluation of Li Xin, but, strangely, he did not despise Li Xin's somewhat pedantic stubbornness, on the contrary, he had more appreciation in his eyes. It is said that those who achieve great things are not informal, but a person without principles will never have the last laugh, which supports his argument throughout the vast history books.

However, Zheng Sanjun did not intend to persuade Li Xin, just before coming here, he had already done a two-pronged approach, in addition to delivering the investigation document together with Mi Yan, and even having people send the original text to the newspaper office of the "Bulletin" to Huang Zongxi.

The rooster crows three times, and the sky is already bright. Zheng Sanjun completely put his mind at ease, and only smiled meaningfully at Li Xinda.

"The official document of the investigation of the fire in the military port can naturally be rewritten, but it is too late for the plan of the Marquis of Zhen, at this moment the newspaper of the "Bulletin" has been sent to the streets and alleys, maybe someone has already read the same content as the official document that the Marquis of Zhenyu tore apart!"

"What?" Li Xin suddenly looked at Zheng Sanjun again as if he didn't know him, this person's behavior after the explosion in the military port had been different from before, and he couldn't think of the reason for it for a while.

Not only Li Xin was a little confused, but even Zheng Sanjun felt a little unbelievable about his decision. It's just that this change is not after the fire in the military port, but after the military parade outside the Jubao Gate. He suddenly had a premonition that he could not declare, and it was this premonition that drove him to act differently than before.

Li Xin fell silent, but he was not thinking about what was published in the Gazette. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Mi Yan: "Has the background of Merchant Fan City been carefully investigated?" ”

"Fan City, a person from Huzhou, Zhejiang, who has committed suicide by swallowing gold after hearing about the fire at the military port, through the interrogation of his servants, came to a confession, at the time of the fire that day, it was the person sent by Fan City who was responsible for transporting a batch of new muskets to the military port, and it is said that these muskets were obtained from Westerners, and the accuracy is extremely accurate!" Mi Yan was a little suspicious of this, and he was very sorry. "It's a pity that a fire burned all the evidence to ashes, and that kind of musket with extraordinary accuracy has never been seen, and I don't know whether it's true or not!"

Hearing this, Li Xin's heart suddenly moved, the accuracy of the musket, if it is not bad, should be a rifled musket, it turns out that the West at this time has begun to produce this kind of musket that draws rifling on the inner wall of the barrel. When he was in Shanxi, the iron factory had more than a dozen rifled guns as experimental products, but the production process was too complicated and the scrap rate was extremely high, so Li Xin had to give up the plan to produce this rifled musket in large quantities. There were no more than ten people who used this rifled musket in the Three Guards, and there were not many people who knew about it, so it was not surprising that Mi Yan didn't know about it.

Could it be that this batch of rifled guns was purchased by Li Shuangcai? Li Xin felt as if he was aware of some key information. After thinking about it, he attributed all his suspicions to the suspicious merchant Fan Shi, and the bigger point was that the merchant Fan Shi committed suicide by swallowing gold after learning of the fire in the military port.

A businessman is not a scholar, and he has never had any concept of honor or disgrace, let alone any sense of guilt. According to the common sense of ordinary businessmen, when they know that something may happen, the most likely move is to flee with their families, rather than swallowing gold alone and committing suicide, leaving a family alone!

"This merchant Fan City is very suspicious, you need to focus on digging from this person, maybe there will be an amazing discovery!"

Li Xin rubbed his hands. Zheng Sanjun said with a smile: "The Marquis of Zhenyu is not bad, and the old man also feels that there are a lot of suspicions in this person, if this person does not die, he may dig out a big fish from him that we can't even imagine!" He said this, but he was a little complacent in his heart, he was very proud to be able to successfully persuade Li Xin to change his mind, dispose of Li Shuangcai, and make the truth public, which did not benefit the Three Guards to him Li Xin.

However, Li Xin's words made Zheng Sanjun's heart that had just been hot like pouring cold water, and he suddenly felt cold in his chest.

"Send a few people to bring Li Shuangcai to the Yingtianfu Yamen, I will interrogate him personally!"

This sentence is said to Miyan!
