Chapter 57 Important Evidence
Lingling and Liu Xia rode in the carriage. Liu Xia held Lingling's soft and boneless slender hand tightly and held her in her arms.
Although it was a farce today, Liu Xia knew that his relationship with the second prince was completely deadlocked.
Of course, this is not his original intention. Liu Xia naturally hopes that he will get along well with this prince, and everyone will not violate the river.
Unfortunate, it backfired.
Liu Xia's creed is that she usually doesn't cause trouble, but she is never afraid when she gets into trouble.
It is estimated that the second prince will not give up and will soon have a move.
Moreover, what puzzles Liu Xia is why did it become such a situation today?
Originally, everyone was just drinking, eating crabs, reciting poems, and pastime.
In the city of the second prince, today's affairs really should not have gone to such a point.
At this moment, Liu Xia couldn't help thinking of the third prince.
I'm afraid that the third prince is contributing to the whole thing.
The third prince should know how much he admires Lingling in his heart, so he deliberately invited him and Lingling to appear at the same time.
Moreover, he deliberately touched the bottom line of the second prince.
If the conjecture is true, the third prince should be more careful in the future.
The previous third prince always gave people the image of a martial artist, muscles all over his body, and the impulse to do things.
Brave and resourceful, but if this matter is fueled by the third prince, I'm afraid the city of the third prince will be deeper and more terrible than the second prince.
It's just that Liu Xia is curious. How did the third prince know the relationship between him and Ling Ling?
Is it just a guess?
Liu Xia is a little puzzled.
"Stupid brother, what are you thinking about?"
Lingling is like a docile kitten, lying on Liu Xia's chest, looking at Liu Xia with a pair of watery eyes and asking.
"Of course I miss you."
Liu Xia smiled gently.
"It's a lie. You are insincere when you look at it.
"Well, you almost let me lose my adult today. Look, I'll clean you up now."
As Liu Xia said, she tickled Lingling. Lingling was most afraid of this. She smiled and begged for mercy.
In this era, the sound insulation effect of carriages is not good.
I can't help but let outsiders listen to it one after another.
Even if it was a big baby, he couldn't help coughing outside twice, making them pay attention to their image.
After a while, Ling Ling's smiling temples were scattered, panting, and leaned weakly against Liu Xia.
Liu Xia looked down at her handsome face and couldn't help kissing her red lips.
Lingling struggled for a moment and responded to him enthusiastically.
For a while, the carriage was full of spring.
However, at this moment, I heard Liu Liansheng shouting, "Who is in front of you, actually the prince's car."
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and then the sound of the imperial army drawing a knife was heard.
"In Duan Lingxiao, the prince of Xiarui, came to pick up Princess Lingyun and go home. I was so reckless just now, and I forgot to forgive you.
At this time, I heard a young man shouting.
When Lingling heard this sound, he was shocked and hurriedly struggled away, combed his hair and tidied his clothes.
"It turned out to be my brother-in-law. It scared you."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"Big brother, you, my brother must have heard something. Now I'm miserable."
After saying that, Lingling hurried down and pushed open the door of the carriage and came out of the carriage.
Liu Xia followed her.
At this time, Duan Lingxiao turned over and got off the horse and kowtowed to Liu Xia.
"Prince, please get up quickly."
Liu Xia hurriedly smiled.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Lingling, come home with me."
Duan Lingxiao didn't seem to have a good impression on Liu Xia. After saluteing, he stared at Lingling and said.
Looking at Lingling's cheeks like peach blossoms, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his eyes.
"Oh, I see."
Lingling could only bite his lips and walk behind Duan Lingxiao.
"With the kindness of the prince, I sent Lingyun home. Say goodbye."
Duan Lingxiao said lightly and stared at Lingling fiercely. Lingling seemed to be very afraid of this brother. He followed him obediently and got into the carriage.
Duan Lingxiao turned over and disbanded his horse, took his motorcade, and left.
Lingling pushed the window and made a grimace for Liu Xia, which then disappeared into Liu Xia's eyes.
"Damn it, your brother-in-law seems to have a problem with you. He won't go back to abuse Lingling, will he?"
Dabao said worriedly.
"Prince Rui has ruled the family rigorously for several generations. The eldest brother is the father, and the younger brother and sister are afraid of the eldest brother, which is right. If he really dares to abuse Lingling, I will have to break his leg.
After Liu Xia finished speaking, she answered in the carriage.
The carriage was shaking and returned to the royal palace.
As soon as he arrived at the royal palace, Yuan Binglong hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, there is a major discovery."
"Oh? Go to the council hall."
Immediately, Liu Xia's gangs gathered here.
"Lao Yuan, what have you found? Tell everyone."
Liu Xia said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, after the death of the shopkeeper and the clerk of Changyun Commercial Bank, I asked people to inquire about it. I thought that since they are doing such a big deal in Longdu, the money must be spent. So I heard the news with several previous people from the Cao Gang. Sure enough, this Changyun Company will ask Caobang to deliver a batch of goods to them three times a year. This cargo is under the protection of Weiyuan Dart Bureau. And the destination, where do you think it is?
Yuan Binglong deliberately bought Guanzi and said.
"Oh, say it quickly. I'm so anxious."
Cai Wei said hurriedly.
"The delivery place of those goods is near Qiuyun Mountain, the land of Beiyuan."
Yuan Binglong said.
Liu Xia was stunned and hurriedly shouted, "Whose fiefdom is this Qiuyun Mountain?"
"I have inquired about it, and it is the fiefdom of today's prince."
Yuan Binglong said.
At this time, it seems that things are clear.
With so much money, it must be a rush to spoil private soldiers, so there must be no Longdu.
Unexpectedly, where the money is going can show who has the problem.
What's more, the suspicion of the prince is the biggest.
Nowadays, as long as it is necessary to make sure that those goods are money, the prince is undoubtedly one of the mainminds.
However, thinking of this, Liu Xia couldn't help but sound the prince's performance in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that day.
It seems that he doesn't care about the Onmyoji Association at all.
If the Onmyoji Association is related to him, why can he be so calm that day?
Is it because his acting skills are too outstanding?
Did you cheat yourself?
"Your Majesty, shall we check it now?"
Liu Liansheng was shocked when he heard this. The prince of the dynasty, the crown prince, if he really found out the rebellion, it would be a big deal.
If they don't do it well, their heads will move.
However, Liu Xia was holding it when the sky fell, so they asked Liu Xia what she meant.
"So when do they ship that cargo every year?"
Liu Xia asked.
"March, September and the end of December every year."
Yuan Binglong said.
"Isn't that the past few days?"
"The prince is wise. Just two days before the accident of the Onmyoji Association, Cao Gang just shipped a batch of goods and left. If you chase it now, there is no problem to catch up.
Yuan Binglong said.
"Everyone is obeded. This operation must be done confidentially. Liu Liansheng, you can go out later and ask all the imperial troops to change their clothes. An hour later, we left Beijing in three batches of casual clothes. The goods have traveled for five or six days and should have reached the boundary of Ping'an Prefecture. We were able to intercept them at Guanshandu all the way. At that time, as long as we see that the goods are money, we will have solid evidence. All right, let's get ready."
Liu Xia said lightly.
Everyone around got up and said, "No."
When everyone went to prepare, Liu Xia sat at the table and was silent.
Dabao asked curiously, "This case is about to be solved. Why are you so sad?"
"Brother, the behind-the-scenes owners of the Onmyoji Association have always been cautious. We can only catch the wind and catch the shadows when we look around. But this time, it seems to be too easy.
Liu Xia explained.
"People, there are always times when there are a hundred secrets. Maybe this is his loophole.
When Liu Xia heard this, she shook her head and said, "If I were the owner behind the scenes, I would never make such an obvious mistake. There are many ways to ship this money out. Even with a little effort, it can be whitewashed. Why do you have to let Caobang deliver it so blatantly?"
"You mean that someone deliberately guided us to investigate the prince? Maybe there will be a trap?"
"Extremely likely. If the prince is the biggest owner, I don't think he will be so careless in the last step of transporting the money out of Longdu.
"Are we going or not?"
"Of course I will go. He wants to take our noses, and we will do it. I'd like to see what he is going to do. By the way, you go to Shuntian Mansion immediately and let Shuntian Mansion investigate the origin of this group of shopkeepers and clerks. In addition, thoroughly investigate their identity background. Anyone who has a relationship with them can't miss it. I still don't believe that if you dig three feet of the ground, you can get nothing.
Liu Xia said angrily.
"Then as the prince, you can't leave the dragon capital without permission. Do you want to ask the emperor for instructions?"
Dabao reminded.
Liu Xia patted her forehead and said, "I almost made a big mistake. I'm going to the palace to ask for an order.
——————————————————————————————————
In the palace, the emperor read the memorial on one side and frowned deeply. Obviously, the state affairs were too annoying.
The silence stood on one side, as if he was in a good mood.
At this time, the maid of honor sent the tea. Chen Mo took it and put it on the table and said, "Your Majesty, have some tea and have a rest."
"Well, these officials are becoming more and more useless. Now I don't even tell the truth. It's full of flattery. Don't I know my world? What is the rise of the world, and the world returns to the heart. It's time to find an opportunity to clear a group of people.
The emperor said with some anger.
"Your Majesty's anger."
said in silence.
"Oh, Chen Mo, you seem to be in a good mood."
The emperor asked later.
"Well, I just heard a news just now."
"That must be a matter of Coke. Let's talk about it."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Today, the second prince and the third prince have a banquet with Prince Weiyuan. Sing the right poems for a pastime.
Chen Mo said this, and the emperor said angrily, "It's really worthy of their throne."
"Your Majesty is angry. The princes are still young, and they should love these. Didn't your majesty have the reputation of poetry in those years?
"Why are you talking about this? What happened later?"
The emperor asked.
"I don't know why, the second prince and Prince Weiyuan quarreled. So the two of them fought for a decisive battle. The loser has to put on women's clothes and sing and dance.
"These naughty kids are really good at playing."
The emperor couldn't help smiling. This punishment was a little embarrassing.
"Did Haoxuan lose? He is a martial artist. I'm afraid he can't do it.
The emperor got up and said.
"Well, Your Majesty, this result is very unexpected. The winner is Prince Weiyuan.
