An official tycoon like Shangshu Du knows the officialdom well beyond ordinary people's imagination. Du Changshi said at the time, "Brother, why didn't you say it earlier?" As soon as he finished speaking, he looked like he bit his tongue. Sure enough, Shangshu Du said, "I didn't know that the case you investigated was related to old news at the time."

Du Changshi said to Mu Anzhi embarrassedly, "I have never told my brother about the military ration case."

"This is not wrong, it is due. The court case must strictly observe the secrets, and this is the duty."

In a righteous sentence, even if Mu Anzhi had to say, the first secretary of the six ministries under Pei Xiang was indeed clear in public and private affairs and had extraordinary insights.

It is not surprising that the case of taking out Xuanyin Tower based on the assassination of Du Changshi is just a matter of being assassinated. It directly points out the suspicious aspects of Liu Chong's promotion that year. This is not something that anyone can do.

With Du Shangshu's meticulousness, although there is no conclusive evidence, he must be 50% or 60% sure.

Of course, with Du Shangshu's prudence, he would inevitably be extremely angry at the assassination of Du Changshi. Otherwise, he had no friendship with Mu Anzhi, so there was no need to say so much.

The Du brothers, seeing how quickly Du Shangshu came, can tell how his relationship happened when something happened to Du Changshi.

Mu Anzhi was still at Du Changshi, and the eunuchs from the palace rushed over and His Highness Xuan San entered the palace to meet him.

"Xiao Du, you recover from your injuries first, don't worry about anyone around you."

Zheng Shangshu said, "I will send you to Your Highness."

"No need, please accompany Xiao Du. When his injury is healed before letting him go to the yamen, nothing is too important to your health."

"Yes." Shangshu Du stood up and saw him off, and Mu Anzhi calmly agreed.

The eunuch on the side of the band was careful, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is urgent."

"What's the hurry? I can't catch assassins. Isn't Li Shangshu going to the palace?"

Du Shangshu said, "Your Highness, hurry up and enter the palace, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time."

"There is nothing to wait for. When I came here, I made arrangements. I also went to the Jiumen to pass orders. Now I am searching for the assassination site. Even if I go, I will just repeat those clichés."

Shangshu Du understood why his incompetent thing got along with His Highness, and he was simply the kind of person who couldn't speak well.

Speaking of which, the Third Prince did not do this when he was praised by him in the past. What is the disease he was suffering from?

Du Shangshu sent Mu Anzhi out in a angrily voice, but Mu Anzhi did not deliberately delay and rode into the palace.

Emperor Mu Xuan was only with the prince. The prince was leaning down and listening to what Emperor Mu Xuan said. When he saw Mu Anzhi coming in, Emperor Mu Xuan was a little angry, "I still think you are not entering the palace."

"Xiao Du was very injured and lost half his life. The yamen made arrangements. I saw that Shangshu Li was going to enter the palace and didn't come, so I went to see Xiao Du." Mu Anzhi was not at all afraid and couldn't help but feel some concern when talking about Du Changshi's injury.

"So severely injured?"

"A dozen or so knife wounds. A bone was seen on the chest." Mu Anzhi saw a chair next to him, so he went over to sit.

The prince said, "Does the imperial doctor go and see it?"

"I called Doctor Zhang over and took a look, prescribed medicine, and I asked him to keep it well at home, so that he would not be in a hurry for the errands." He looked around and looked, "I didn't give me a cup of tea. I was so busy all morning, and I didn't even drink saliva."

Emperor Mu Xuan waved his hand, and the eunuch served tea. Seeing Mu Anzhi two sips, he drank a cup of tea, knowing that he was really thirsty. Emperor Mu Xuan's displeasure of waiting slightly reduced, "You asked Mr. Li to enter the palace, but this time the wounded your official, and the person who died was related to the Zhou family case, you know better than others."

Emperor Mu Xuan asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to keep it a secret for the time being. The identity of the Zhou family manager is a bit strange. It turns out that it is just a test. During the interrogation, Du Changshi noticed something was different. When the Zhou family sold jade from Yunnan and Guizhou privately, they found several merchants who took over the imperial capital. The background was quite clever. One was the He family, and this was His Majesty's aunt. The other was the Li family, who was the clan of Shangshu. At that time, it was Zhou Laotong, and he had no such knowledge. These things that tied bridges and lines were done by this Song manager."

"Looking further, although his parents have their origins, the family has no population. The imperial capital was wandering and fleeing. In terms of knowledge, when he saw Du Changshi, he could smell Du Changshi's usual ambergris. After interrogating, he asked carefully. The fragrant fragrance score was exactly the same." Mu Anzhi said, "He is just an ordinary manager of the Zhou family. It's not that I speak harshly, and I'm afraid no one in the Zhou family has such ability."

"He refused to recruit the records, so we simply used the tricks and used the method of disagreement to show his family that they were close to him, but they were just for outsiders to see. When he was in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, he had been assassinated for five or six times. If he was in charge of the matter, who would kill him?"

"This time I wanted to borrow him to fish, and there were more than a dozen guards arranged around me. Unexpectedly, the assassin who came was so powerful, and there was almost something wrong with him." Mu Anzhi said, "I was negligent."

It was almost noon, and the sun was blazing and sharp, and the ice in the ice basin began to melt, bringing a hint of fruity coolness.

Both Emperor Mu Xuan and the prince looked very serious. Mu Anzhi said it the simplest, but this matter was extremely difficult.

"What's going on now?" Emperor Mu Xuan continued to ask.

"I just met Shangshu Du at the house of Changshi Du, and I happened to know some situation."

Mu Anzhi said nothing, and said it directly. The prince said, "Shu Du has always been steady and rarely said unsure. This time he said some of his old speculations, which shows that he was also anxious about the assassination of Chief Du."

"Brother, how can you not be in a hurry?" Mu Anzhi said casually.

The prince smiled, "Third brother said this."

Mu Anzhi was immediately disgusted.

Seeing him looking like he was about to vomit, the prince smiled again and said, "There is another thing that the third brother thought of. The identity of the assassin must be hidden, including some people in the world. They often do things that cannot be seen, and they often hide their identity names. Just like the Xuanyin Pavilion mentioned by Shangshu Du, if the assassin had not been called each other's names at that time, Xunxiang, Zhuifeng, and Kuangdao, I am afraid that they still don't know their identity at this time."

"Looking at what he does, there must be a certain scale. In Taiping Street assassination, except for the officer, whether it is the municipal party committee arranged by his third brother or the surrounding people, they will be injured but not killed."

"This means that first, they are not outlaws. Second, they are well-trained, easy to kill, but difficult to injure but not die. Third, such well-trained assassins should not make such low-level mistakes. Breaking a name is tantamount to revealing their identity."

The prince looked into Mu Anzhi's eyes and said, "What do you think third brother?"

"Actually, there is another thing that I can't figure out. Guan Song is such an important person. Once he suspects that he might surrender to the government, he will send out a top assassin, even if he assassinates the court officials, he will kill him under the knife and take his life. But since such a person, why have he wasted all these years in the Zhou family?" Mu Anzhi frowned slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously surrounded the tassel pendant under the jade pendant. "I went over and over and over and could not see that the Zhou family was so important."

The prince couldn't help but frown. Yes, even the prince seemed to be the prince's family, which was just a vulgar and outbreak family, relied on the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion.

Looking at the Zhou family’s actions over the years, anyone with some knowledge can know that this family is difficult to deal with.

The prince's eyes suddenly lit up, "It may not be necessary. Don't forget the previous duties of Mr. Zhou."

"Grain transporter?" Mu Anzhi thought, "He took all the open and secret accounts back to the Ministry of Justice for a special person to calculate, that is, some things such as new grains being exchanged for old grains, refined grains being exchanged for coarse grains, or some private goods being entrained in the grain transporter. "

Emperor Mu Xuan said coldly, "Retrial the Zhou family, retrial!"

"Father, is the Tongzhou Wharf Transport Department sending more personnel?" said the prince, "It is possible to operate privately under the guise of the Zhou family."

Emperor Mu Xuan asked Mu Anzhi, "Does Xiaobao and the others have any news come back?"

"They are checking accounts related to the Zhou family, business transactions during weekdays, and the flow of silver money in the money house."

"Grain merchants." Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Focus on investigating grain merchants and silver merchants. As long as you do things in the world, there will be traces left."

"Yes." Mu Anzhi nodded and responded.

Emperor Mu Xuan said to the prince, "Let the Seiyu Department draw an order to order the Tongzhou Transportation Department He Ling to thoroughly investigate the tax abduction in the Tongzhou Wharf!"

"yes."

After giving instructions, Emperor Mu Xuan ordered the prince and Mu Anzhi to retreat.

The two of them left the imperial study together, and the prince's handsome face rarely showed a trace of worry.

Mu Anzhi glanced at the prince's frowning look, and felt a little gloating. He thought, if this guy could be killed, it would be considered to be a way to eliminate the harm for the people...

The prince looked at Mu Anzhi who was walking in the corridor in confusion, and walked two steps to the inside.

Mu Anzhi looked at the sunshine outside and took two steps to get past the prince. The prince suddenly stretched out his foot, and Mu Anzhi almost tripped over him. He raised his foot and stepped on the prince's foot. The prince smiled, turned around and closed his foot forward, and occupied the position inside the front.

Mu Anzhi asked him, "Do you want to fight?"

The prince smiled, "Did you feel very happy when I see me?"

"I didn't have any special pleasure, I just felt a little relieved."

"Since I am a person, I am much more interesting than before." The prince said leisurely.

"You are as personal as always," Mu Anzhi said sarcastically, "Isn't you tired when you pretend to be so pretentious?"

"I'm used to it." The prince said shamelessly, "I'm not hiding it from you. I'm really not used to it when I'm not letting me pretend to be like this one day."

Mu Anzhi couldn't stand such shamelessness and threw his sleeves and was about to leave. The prince suddenly said, "Didn't you like to pretend before, why didn't you pretend?" "I'm disgusted by you."

The prince smiled and called out, "Third brother."

Mu Anzhi looked as if you were not sick, and the prince slowly said, "Then I will disgust you a little more."

Seeing Mu Anzhi leaving, the prince slowly walked with the elegant steps of the crown prince. This case was a bit troublesome, and it was not easy to sort out private matters.

However, as the father ordered, you can take this opportunity to check the tax absentment at the dock, or you can hit grass to see if you can scare out a few snakes.

As for what Mu Anzhi said about the manager Song, Mu Anzhi should not have finished it.
