After another period of silence, the man lost his temper and had no choice but to speak in frustration: "I do have something to tell you."
"Look, you must have been right! It's obvious that you have something to do with me, but you still don't admit it!" Xiao Lingyue said immediately.
man:"......"
He was so angry that his teeth itched: "You are not allowed to speak at this time!"
Xiao Lingyue pouted: "Okay."
Immediately, he muttered in a moderate voice: "Obviously I just came to the door for something, why are you embarrassed to admit it? I don't know what I want to do."
Zhan Beihan: "..."
He was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he felt like he had never experienced so much speechless suffocation in his life.
It’s true that he wanted to talk to her about business, but besides business, couldn’t he talk to her?
This woman...
What can people say about her?
I wish I could pry open her brain and take a closer look at how the nerves in her brain grow.
Zhan Beihan felt deeply that if he kept talking to her like this, he would be angry to death sooner or later.
Let’s get down to business first.
The man took a moment to hold his breath and said in a deep voice: "You know what happened before when the East Palace sent people to the house, right?"
Xiao Lingyue nodded: "The prince wants to see you for something?"
"The prince has been secretly investigating the smuggling route of the Ministry of Industry for the past two days, and he has already got some clues." The man said briefly and horrified, "The iron smuggling leads to the direction of the imperial mausoleum. What the prince means is to investigate clearly first, and then connect the root."
Pull it up.”
When it came to business, Xiao Lingyue's mind quickly calmed down, and her mind turned very fast.
When Zhan Beihan said this, she immediately understood: "The prince wants you to investigate?"
"Yes." The man said directly.
"Didn't His Majesty give full power to the Crown Prince to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Industry's affairs?" Xiao Lingyue was puzzled, "Why did it fall on you again?"
Man: "It is true that the Prince is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Industry is only the origin of iron smuggling. We must follow this smuggling line and catch all the gangsters involved. It is not enough to conduct a thorough investigation within the capital. We must
Follow the route on the spot and follow it.”
So-called smuggling routes.
It is not a question of one point, but of many points connected into a line.
If we do not investigate all points on this line and then uproot it, it is far from enough to thoroughly investigate and clean up the Ministry of Works.
Iron ore is a powerful weapon for the country.
The importance is more than money and food.
Both Emperor Zhaoming and the Crown Prince must have wanted to eradicate this hidden danger completely.
Xiao Lingyue had a guess in her mind: "So, the prince wants to cooperate with you? You are responsible for going to the imperial mausoleum to check the route, and he is responsible for revealing the truth in the court?"
A trace of appreciation flashed in Zhan Beihan's eyes, and his thin lips curled up: "That's pretty much what it means, but the emperor brother hasn't made a specific plan yet. We'll discuss it in detail with him when the king goes to the East Palace tomorrow."
Xiao Lingyue said speechlessly: "No matter how we talk about it, you can only handle this matter, right? The prince cannot leave the capital casually."
After all, as a prince, his status is here, and his every move is watched by civil and military officials.
It's not convenient to do anything.
What if the prince personally went to the imperial mausoleum to investigate the iron ore smuggling route?
On the one hand, there is too much movement and it is easy to alert others.
On the other hand, the risk is also too high.
Compared with Zhan Beihan, the prince's self-protection ability is very poor. If he encounters an assassin or something along the way, he may end up with a narrow escape.
The gain outweighs the loss.
And a major case like iron ore smuggling is a major event with extremely wide implications and destabilizing the country.
Before the matter is completely resolved, the news must not be leaked easily and can only be handled quietly.
Currently, except for Emperor Zhaoming, the Crown Prince, Zhan Beihan and Xiao Lingyue, there are only a few court elders in the court who know about this matter, and the other court officials are kept in the dark. This chapter has been completed!
