Chapter 621 The land of right and wrong will stay soon
She Yue has always been calm and unfazed when faced with problems, but after hearing Qin Xiao's last words, her two slender eyebrows instantly knitted together.
"Do you think someone is trying to lure me to Jiangnan?"
Qin Xiao looked very solemn and said: "With the dignity of the princess, no matter what happens in Jiangnan, it is impossible for her to condescend to come here. Only when there is a problem in the inner treasury, the princess immediately thought of coming to Jiangnan to investigate in person. The inner treasury is the princess in Jiangnan.
The most important thing is that once a problem arises, the princess cannot turn a blind eye."
She Yue's beautiful face also became cold and stern.
"So far, the results of the investigation of the inner treasury seem to point to Linghuxuan, confirming that Linghuxuan is the real culprit behind the theft of the inner treasury. The subsequent efforts seem to be just to prove that Linghuxuan is a member of the Queen Mother's Congregation
." Qin Xiao said slowly: "So on the surface, it seems that someone just wanted to accuse the Taihu pirates and use the power of the court to get rid of the Taihu pirates, but... this layout took several years of work.
, It has been four or five years since the internal treasury was stolen. Are those people spending so much energy just to prove Linghu Xuan's crime?"
She Yue raised her hand and gently pressed her eyebrows, thoughtfully.
"If the inner treasury case is used to frame the Taihu pirates, then these people are not afraid of the princess finding out the truth? Is such a frame-up method, involving the inner treasury and the princess, too desperate?" Qin Xiao's eyes became sharper.
He said: "Theft of the inner treasury was well planned. Not only did it take a very long time, but it also involved a lot of manpower and material resources. Since they have such ability, it is not difficult to come up with other ways to frame the Taihu Pirates. Why not
To resort to such a desperate method?"
She Yue said nothing, stood up, walked to the ajar window, gently opened the window, and looked at the two big trees in the courtyard in silence.
The sky had already dawned, and the freshness of the morning light filled the house. She Yue stared at the big tree with her beautiful eyes. After a long time, she turned around, looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "What is the purpose of luring me to Jiangnan?"
?”
"I don't know." Qin Xiao said simply: "But if I am really right, then Jiangnan is already a huge trap. Since they have spent many years laying out the plan to lure the princess into the trap,
Then there must be an extremely careful plan and layout in Jiangnan, and the conspiracy is beyond the imagination of even a small minister." He stood up, approached She Yue, and asked: "How many people know about the princess's trip to Jiangnan?"
She Yue has obviously realized the seriousness of the problem. Although what Qin Xiao said is just a guess, once such a guess comes true, the current situation can be said to be extremely serious.
"Not much." She Yue said: "Only the sage knows that I am leaving Beijing. The sage is also very hesitant about my coming to Jiangnan. However, Nei Ku is unusual. If he dares to attack Nei Ku, the other party is not only bold, but also must have
He is extremely powerful and has a dissatisfaction with the imperial court. Jiangnan is the wealth center of the empire and there must be no problems. That’s why I thought of coming to Jiangnan in person to conduct a thorough investigation in secret. However, the saint hesitated again and again and finally agreed.
But when I leave the capital, naturally I can’t let too many people know about it. Except for the saint, I won’t let anyone else know. When I leave the capital, I also disguise myself and keep silent.”
Qin Xiao said: "So, except for the saints, no one in Kyoto knows that the princess has left the capital?"
"At least that was true when I left Beijing." She Yue frowned and said, "I went down the river and kept a very low profile. When I arrived in Suzhou tonight, Pan Weixing didn't know anything about it beforehand."
Qin Xiao thought for a moment before continuing to ask: "The princess said before that after arriving in Suzhou, she first went to the inner treasury. So how many people in the inner treasury know your whereabouts?"
"Going to the inner treasury, except for Jiang Xiaochun and Fei Xin from Dali Temple, no one else knows that I have come to Suzhou." She Yue knew that the current situation was serious, so she answered all Qin Xiao's questions: "I came from Jiang Xiaochun and Fei Xin.
Xin Kou learned about the inner treasury case and ordered them to continue to seal the inner treasury and no one was allowed to enter or exit. Jiang Xiaochun was my confidant and he sealed the inner treasury. Naturally, the news of my coming to Jiangnan could not be obtained from the inner treasury.
leaked out."
Qin Xiao nodded and asked: "What about the governor's office? Before the princess summons the ministers, can she also summon other people?"
"I am very careful when entering the city. I sent someone to meet Pan Weixing beforehand, and then secretly entered the Governor's Mansion. Before you, I only met Pan Weixing and listened to his report on the situation here." She Yue walked back to the chair slowly and sat down.
He went down and said, "After him, I only summoned you and Chen Xi."
Qin Xiao said: "So except for a few people, no one else knows about the princess's arrival in Suzhou City yet."
"Qin Xiao, do you really think someone in the south of the Yangtze River is plotting to murder me?" She Yue seemed to be unable to believe that someone dared to take advantage of the Princess of Tang Dynasty.
Qin Xiaodao: "My Princess, do you need conclusive evidence to believe it? What is your identity? Even if there is only the slightest danger, you must not put yourself in danger. Even if the minister's guess is wrong, but for you
Even if it is absolutely safe, you cannot stay in Jiangnan."
She Yue stared at Qin Xiao and said, "It seems that you still care about my safety."
"You are the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and I am a minister of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, you are concerned about the safety of the princess." Qin Xiao said seriously, but he thought in his heart that you promised when you were in Kyoto that if the internal treasury case was found out, you would
I asked the saint to train new soldiers and plan to recapture Xiling. Now I place my hope of regaining Xiling on you. Of course, I don't want any accidents to happen to you.
She Yue pondered for a moment and then said: "It is already dawn. If I leave at this time, it will be easy for others to see me. I will leave Suzhou after dark." He asked: "Are you going back to Beijing with me?"
"
"Of course I also want to leave this place." Qin Xiao sighed: "But if nothing else happens, I am afraid that I have been targeted for a long time. If I leave with the princess, it will only expose the princess's whereabouts and even implicate her.
The princess is here. I cannot leave for the time being. After the princess leaves Suzhou, I will travel day and night to return to Kyoto as soon as possible. I will stay here for a while. When the princess is indeed safe, I will make plans."
She Yue stared at Qin Xiao, with a hint of relief in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Qin Xiao, I didn't expect you to be a loyal minister."
"Did the princess previously think that I was a traitor?" Qin Xiao thought to himself, although I don't know your depth, you should not know anything about my strengths and weaknesses.
She Yue glanced at Qin Xiao, waved her hand and said, "Please step aside first, I will think about it carefully."
Qin Xiao bowed his hands and stepped back, leaving the door. The two masked guards were still guarding the door, but there was no one else in the courtyard.
After a hard night, Qin Xiao felt a little tired. He walked out of the yard and stretched. There was a cough from the side. Qin Xiao looked over and saw Chen Xi standing aside, smiling and saying: "Young Prisoner
grown ups!"
Chen Xi came closer, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Does Qin Shaoqing persuade the princess to leave Jiangnan as soon as possible?"
Qin Xiao was startled, frowned and said, "Why would the Young Supervisor ask this?"
"You and I both know in our hearts that everything is fishy since the beginning of the inner treasury case." Chen Xi said softly: "Although the truth of the matter has not been figured out yet, Jiangnan is not a place to stay for a long time. The sudden arrival of the princess made me feel uneasy.
a feeling of."
Qin Xiao knew that since he had discovered many problems, Chen Xi, as the young eunuch of the Ziyi Prison, was well-informed and could not have noticed anything. He asked in a low voice: "Why did the young eunuch take the initiative to follow the soldiers from the prefect's Yamen to the inn to arrest him last night?
Tu Kuohai?"
"I'm just worried that if I don't show up, Tu Kuohai and his group will be killed and silenced." Chen Xi did not hide anything.
Qin Xiao was startled, and his brows furrowed even more: "Why do you want to silence me?"
Chen Xi thought for a moment and then said: "A lot of evidence points to Linghu Xuan being General Kuhai. If Tu Kuohai is caught, during our interrogation, Tu Kuohai defends Linghu Xuan and denies that the Taihu pirates are members of the Queen Mother's congregation. Will there be more trouble?
?Some people don’t want us to interrogate Tu Kuohai.”
"Do you think Liang Jiangyuan, the prefect of Suzhou, will silence others?"
Chen Xi said: "This is just my worry, maybe I am over-worrying." After a pause, he said softly: "Tu Kuohai managed to escape before the officers and soldiers rounded him up, and very few people knew about last night's action. How did Tu Kuohai get the information in advance?
information?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "So there is a traitor in the Suzhou government?"
"Of course someone leaked the news, but the person who leaked the news may not have done it to save Tu Kuohai, but they didn't want Tu Kuohai to fall into our hands." Chen Xi said: "Releasing the news to Tu Kuohai and letting him escape early just proves that Linghu Xuan
It is very possible that he was framed."
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then asked in a low voice: "Who does the Young Supervisor suspect to be the traitor?"
"Everyone who was here yesterday and heard last night's action plan is possible." Chen Xi looked coldly and said softly: "Including Pan Weixing."
Qin Xiao glanced around and said, "Ma Changshi was waiting outside earlier. Where did he go?"
"He was injured and went to see a doctor." Chen Xi said: "But Pan Weixing just talked to Wei Tairan alone for a while. He seemed to be telling Wei Tairan what to do, and Wei Tairan took the order and left."
Qin Xiao was startled for a moment, then his pupils shrank and he asked, "Where is Governor Pan?"
"After Wei Tairan left, he said he wanted to rest for a while." Chen Xi saw that Qin Xiao looked wrong and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Qin Xiao didn't say much, and immediately asked someone where Pan Weixing was. After knowing the place, he found a house outside and pushed the door open. He saw Pan Weixing sitting on a recliner, seemingly resting. When he heard someone push directly
After entering the door, Pan Weixing opened his eyes, saw Qin Xiao, and immediately sat up. Regardless of his anger, he asked: "Did His Highness summon me?"
"Lord Governor, where did Wei Biejia go?" Qin Xiao looked directly at Pan Weixing with sharp eyes.
Pan Weixing frowned, but still said: "Your Highness wants to see Wei and leave? He went to Qian's house on my order. The Taihu bandits are imminent, and the princess is worried about the lack of military resources. As a minister, she naturally has to share the worries for Your Highness.
I sent Wei Biejia to discuss with the Qian family first and persuade them to donate military resources...!"
Qin Xiao clenched his hands into fists and sighed: "Master Pan, you have caused a big trouble!"
