Although Wang An felt that the pressure was much less, there was still no conclusion on whether the fire in the Ganqing Palace was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. After a long time of investigation, he found no clues that could prove it was a natural disaster or man-made disaster.

I could only summon craftsmen to rebuild the Ganqing Palace while slowly investigating it.

But he felt that this should not be a simple natural disaster. After all, the three halls are much taller than the Ganqing Palace, and they are all safe and sound. Why did the Ganqing Palace catch fire when it was lightning?

Besides, it was so coincidental that he went to Zhending Mansion and the fire was when the person was not there.

But doubt is just suspicion after all, and it is impossible to find any evidence.

On that day, he waited until Chen Ju's confidant sent back from Liaodong and asked him to check whether the silver notes hidden in the Ganqing Palace were burnt.

Wang An knew that Zhu Yiliu had a lot of personal wealth, so he hurried to check it out after receiving the message.

The Ganqing Palace is the main hall of the inner court of the Forbidden City and the first palace in the last three palaces.

The Ganqing Palace has a width of nine rooms, a depth of five rooms, a height of twenty meters, and a double-eaved hip roof.

The bright room in the hall is connected to the east and west.

The front eaves of the Ming room are subtracted from the golden columns, and the beam structure is a form of reduced columns to expand the indoor space.

There is a screen between the two golden columns on the back eaves of the Ming room, a throne is set in front of the screen, and a warm pavilion is set between the east and west ends.

There is a fairy building on the back eaves, and the two rooms are built through the halls, which can connect to the Jiaotai Hall and Kunning Palace.

There is a "Open and upright" plaque hanging above the throne of the main hall of the Ganqing Palace. There is a box hidden behind the plaque. I heard that the emperor's private silver notes are placed in the box.

It is safe to place this place for a lot of money, because only the emperor can sit on the throne.

The plaque "Open and upright" has been burned, but because this place has not been repaired yet, the remains of the plaque are still hanging above the throne.

Wang An took down the plaque and found that it was fine. Because the box behind it was made of gold shell, it was not burned, and the silver bill should still be there.

However, when Wang An opened the box, he saw that it was empty inside. How could there be any silver notes?

"Will you remember it wrong?" Wang An hurriedly asked his confidant who came back to pass the message.

"It shouldn't be." The confidant shook his head and said, "The Master and Eunuch Chen made a clear statement. The silver bill was placed in the box behind the plaque, and the number was 200,000 taels."

"But you saw it too, there was nothing." Wang An spread the box, "Fortunately, let you come together, otherwise I would have suspected that I had taken it alone."

"What should I do now?"

"Let's go and see the Queen with me." Wang An made a quick decision.

...

Kunning Palace.

After learning about the whole story, Zheng Miaojin said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

Wang Andao: "Yes, Long Live will never remember it wrong, but the box has not been burned, so how could the silver bills inside disappear?"

Of course, Zheng Miaojin would not doubt Zhu Yili's memory. Two hundred thousand is not a small amount, but it must be placed in the box behind the plaque of openness.

But why is it gone? Why?

"Is it related to this fire?"

“Is it related to this fire?”

Zheng Miaojin and Wang An thought of this almost at the same time.

The confidant who sent back to pass the message also nodded.

"You said, why do you think so?" Zheng Miaojin asked Wang An to say first.

Wang An analyzed: "When I go back to the Queen, I always feel that the fire is very strange. Other palaces are fine, but the only one in the Ganqing Palace is on fire."

"So, I suspect that the silver notes in the box might have been stolen long ago, so I deliberately set fires while the lightning and thunder are roaring to cover up his stealing."

"But I didn't expect that we were wary of it and sent additional personnel to serve on duty, so the fire was naturally controlled and did not completely burn the Ganqing Palace."

Finally, Wang An added: "Of course, this is just a guess from my servant, and there is no definite evidence. I wonder what the Empress thinks?"

Zheng Miaojin said: "But who is so bold to steal money from here? Besides, since the emperor puts the money in the box behind the plaque, it can be considered as hiding. Since it is hiding, there will be no one knows it. Did you know about this before?"

"I don't know." Wang An shook his head quickly.

"Yes, you are the master of the Ganqing Palace and the emperor is so dependent on it. If you don't know about this, who else knows?"

"Yes, in theory, only Long Sui Ye knows that the four words on this plaque were written by Emperor Jiajing. Who dares to move the plaque?"

"But it is a fact that the silver bill was lost." Zheng Miaojin said.

"It's really strange!" Wang An thought hard and murmured to himself, "How could silver bills disappear? Someone must be secretly making trouble."

In any case, Wang An still believed in his own judgment, because someone had made trouble, but who was this bold and arrogant person?

"Don't make this matter public for the time being, just investigate it secretly." Zheng Miaojin instructed.

"I understand." Wang An nodded, feeling that it would be difficult to investigate the matter with his own strength. After all, he had not even locked his target, but he was embarrassed to ask the queen for more people to help him.

"You should inform Eunuch Feng immediately and tell him about this and let him pay attention to places like money shops, gambling shops, etc. that are easy to spend money." Zheng Miaojin ordered.

"Sister obeys the order."

"Also, I will list all the father-in-law and palace maids in the Ganqing Palace and send them to me."

"Okay, I'll send it later."

“Follow everyone’s recent behavioral dynamics.”

"I understand."

"Go."

...

Feng Bao learned about this from Wang An and was even more puzzled. Has the inner court already rectified it once?

All those who need to be cleaned are cleaned up, how come there are still people who are so bold?

"When did you do that when did you put the silver notes in the box behind the plaque?"

Feng Bao asked like this, because he thought of Zhou Zuo, the previous president of the Ganqing Palace.

"Hao Sheng said it was after the first year of Taihe." Wang An replied to the confidant sent by Chen Ju.

"That's incredible!" Feng Bao was puzzled. Are there such people in the harem after the first year of Taihe?

"It's really incredible!" Wang An echoed, and then told Feng Bao about Empress Zheng's orders.

Feng Bao hurriedly went, thinking, if someone deliberately set fire to cover up his stealing behavior, this is a way of tracing the idea and direction.

Feng Baoling ordered the troops of the five cities to secretly dispatch the troops and horse officials, and immediately launched an investigation, led by Gu Qingyun.

As if nothing happened, Wang An continued to urge the craftsmen to repair the Ganqing Palace, secretly paying attention to the every move of all the father-in-law and palace maids in the Ganqing Palace.

The confidant sent by Chen Ju had set off for Liaodong to report his life and did not stay for too long.

In order not to worry the two empress dowagers, Wang An did not report this to them.

...

Zhu Yiliu marched and finally arrived in Guangning City.

General Li Chengliang personally greeted him outside the city.

His son Li Rubai has already told him that Qi Jiguang and the emperor were walking along the way, so there is no need to worry about the emperor's safety.

This is the first time that Zhu Yili and Li Chengliang have met.

Compared to Qi Jiguang, who is more elegant, Li Chengliang looks more vigorous.

Qi Jiguang was romantic and handsome when he was young. Although his family was poor, he liked reading very much, and was well-versed in Confucian classics and historical books, and had a certain literary foundation. The name "Yuan Jing" was not called for nothing (Wang Shizhen was "Yuanmei").

Therefore, Qi Jiguang is a bit elegant and elegant in his stern body, which can be seen from his military style; while Li Chengliang is different, with no elegant side at all, giving people a sense of heroic spirit and courage from head to toe, as if he was born just for battle.

If Qi Jiguang is more like a handsome talent, then Li Chengliang is a rare general.

"What's the situation in Nurhaci right now?" After meeting Li Chengliang, Zhu Yiliu couldn't wait to ask.

"Your Majesty is indeed foresight!" When talking about Nurhaci, Li Chengliang looked joyful and excited. "At first, I thought Nurhaci was besieged and he would be defeated and had to escape from our Ming Dynasty for help, but unexpectedly, under the joint attack of many tribes, he could still stand firm and defend his ruling center, which is really amazing!"

Zhu Yili Xiaosong breathed in one breath.

Zhu Bajie said with a slight elegance: "I knew that my master would never die in battle."
