As soon as Tao Ce finished speaking, he realized the seriousness of the problem. He hurriedly covered his mouth, and after a while, he murmured: "This...isn't it true?"

"It's not sure yet, but it's very likely related to this." Gu Yunjing's expression was very heavy, and he lowered his eyes, "Actually, I really don't want Ku Yin's loss to be related to treason."

"Tao Ce, quickly enter the palace and tell His Highness King An about the matter."

Tao Ce nodded, picked a horse from the Hou's mansion, and galloped towards the palace.

Not long after he left, Deng Kuan, led by Gu Zhong, came to the Hou Mansion.After finishing the salute, he asked, "My son-in-law, do you have any orders for calling me here?"

Gu Yunjing said solemnly: "Master Deng, how did you investigate the beggar who committed the crime?"

Deng Kuan shook his head with a look of melancholy, "The guilty minister is incompetent, and I haven't found out yet."

Gu Yunjing said: "The beggar's mind is extraordinary, but I can't blame you. If he hides, it won't be easy to find him all at once. Mr. Deng, please delay this beforehand and let someone investigate the sculptures near the capital. shop."

Deng Kuan was taken aback, completely unaware of the intention of the son-in-law's move, and asked in surprise, "Is there any connection between the engraving shop and this matter?"

"Of course." Gu Yunjing told Deng Kuan all the details of Ku Yin's loss and her speculation.

"This... this..., son-in-law, are you saying that the thief stole Kuyin to plot against?" Deng Kuan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.He pondered over Gu Yunjing's remarks carefully, thinking about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"There is no lack of this possibility." Gu Yunjing paused, and said, "I can't let go of any clues right now, let's start with the engraving shop and check. The old beggar left a template of the key on the ink pad, and he will definitely go to engrave it. Find someone in the store to carve the key."

"My son-in-law, if this old beggar knows how to carve himself, why does he need to go to a carving shop?" Xiao Muxue expressed her doubts, "He is a deep-minded person, and he will definitely not leave evidence easily. .Even if you want to engrave a key, you probably wouldn’t choose an engraving shop near the capital. How can you check this?”

Her Royal Highness's words were indeed reasonable, Gu Yunjing's starry eyes dimmed inadvertently.He was busy solving the case for a while, but neglected these details.

Deng Kuan looked at Gu Yunjing's expression, and asked, "My son-in-law, should we check or not?"

There are at least hundreds of carving and antique shops in the imperial city, and it would take a lot of time to check each one.Recently, after An Wang Xiaozhan came to power, he adopted many reform policies, one of which was the financial reform of the household department.Recently, the household department has been very busy, busy with sorting out and reconciling accounts.If people are sent to check the carving shop at this time, the accounts of the household department will not be handed in as scheduled.

Gu Yunjing said: "What Her Royal Highness said just now makes sense, don't waste your troops yet. Let's continue to analyze the next breakthrough. Xue'er, do you have any good suggestions?"

As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the fire burns high.Although Gu Yunjing is smart, everyone can brainstorm together to come up with a better way.Moreover, the consort's headache has not completely disappeared, so he is not suitable for high-intensity analysis and reasoning.

"We can consider recruiting soldiers and horses." Xiao Muxue said unhurriedly, "The thief stole Kuyin, if he really wants to rebel, he must recruit people. Who are they recruiting? Who are they buying?" horse?"

Gu Yunjing followed Xiao Muxue's words, "The act of treason is no small matter, it is a crime that implicates the entire family. Therefore, it must be a secret recruitment. If this is the case, the recruits are most likely bandits."

"There are many merchants who sell horses in the market. If someone buys horses in large quantities, we will know immediately."

After figuring this out, Gu Yunjing told Deng Kuan, "Master Deng, don't check the engraving shop for now, let someone go to the market to check the horse transaction records."

"Yes." Deng Kuan said hesitantly, "My son-in-law, I'm afraid the household department may not have enough manpower. After all, there are horse merchants everywhere in the country."

"You only need to be responsible for checking the things in the capital, and I will discuss the rest with His Royal Highness An Wang." Gu Yunjing waved, "Go, without further ado, if you find any abnormalities, report to me in time."

"Yes, my son-in-law." After listening to the order, Deng Kuan hurriedly withdrew.

On the way back from Wanchun Tower, Yu Liang saw portraits of old beggars plastered all over the streets, and he suddenly became suspicious.He squeezed into the crowd, and after seeing what was written on the notice, his heart sank and his face suddenly turned pale.

"You actually found him?" Yu Liang said secretly in his heart.He was shocked by the investigative ability of the court officials, and at the same time he understood that he must get the money from the Lu Mansion as soon as possible, and then leave here to avoid the limelight.Otherwise, with this investigation speed, sooner or later the clues will be found.

Yu Liang withdrew from the crowd, anxious and anxious, and returned to Lu's mansion in a hurry.He rushed into the secret room immediately and interrogated Lu Lin.

"Three days have almost passed. How are you thinking?" Yu Liang asked coldly.

Lu Lin's mouth was tightly blocked, unable to speak, he could only make harsh noises, his eyes were wide open, filled with hatred.

Yu Liang really didn't want to hear Lu Lin scolding him again, but for the sake of those family fortunes, he had no choice but to put the words that were put on Lu Lin's mouth.

Remove the strips.

"Bah!" Lu Lin spat on Yu Liang's face, "You beast, you will die!"

Yu Liang wiped the saliva off his face with his cuff, "Lu Lin, save yourself some energy for swearing.

"Old guy, you don't stop eating, do you want to starve yourself to death?" Yu Liang's eyes became sharper, and he sneered, "I tell you, it's impossible. Before you are willing to hand over the money to me, how can I Let you die? I want you to live, life is better than death!"

In the closed chamber, Lu Lin sighed, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I can't kill this ambitious bad embryo. Instead, I will be threatened and used by this beast."

"Lu Lin, I forgot to tell you something. The emperor you have been loyally guarding has now become a living dead." Yu Liang said with a slanted smile, "Well, I don't think it will take long for the emperor to die. "

"What did you say?" Lu Lin was shocked, "You said His Majesty is a living dead now?"

"That's right. Lu Lin, do you know why he became like this?" Yu Liang laughed horribly, "It's all thanks to your Lu family. The news of Ku Yin's disappearance reached the emperor's ears, and he The blood qi surged up in a fit of anger, leading to unconsciousness."

"It's ridiculous. How loyal do you think you are, but in the end, you are not a murderer? It is His Majesty the Emperor whom you support the most."

Yu Liang poked his heart every word.
