Chapter 260 Two Files
"Oh."
[Grandpa, Daddy and the Snow Wolf King are coming back, please don't be scared.]
Chu Qinshu had just given the order to the Snow Wolf King when she quickly opened her eyes and reminded Emperor Yongping.
"Well, is your father willing to come back?"
Emperor Yongping put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Chu Qinshu in his arms with confusion.
He thought Chu Yi would not come back until evening.
"Oh."
[It’s too cold in Chuncheng, Daddy is wearing too little. ]
Chu Qinshu moaned and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
It turns out that the older she gets, the less intelligent she becomes.
If she had known this, she should have reminded her father to wear thicker clothes.
Alternatively, let the Snow Wolf King return to the palace directly from Murong's house.
Now, they have been wandering around Chuncheng for an hour, and they don’t know if it has frozen or not.
......
A few moments later, the Snow Wolf King appeared in Yu's study, and Chu Chengyi rolled off its back.
"Your Highness..."
Lin Fu, who was standing next to Emperor Yongping, reacted quickly. When he saw the Snow Wolf King appear, he rushed forward to help him.
"Quick, bring me a heater."
In front of Emperor Yongping, Chu Chengyi no longer cared about his image. After rolling off the back of the Snow Wolf King, he sat down on the ground.
As for getting into a wheelchair, he didn't have the strength to do that right now.
It’s really cold in Spring City.
Even though it was spring and flowers were blooming in the capital, the city of spring was still covered in ice and snow.
The Snow Wolf King's speed, coupled with the knife-like spring breeze, really made him suffer.
No wonder his father returned to the palace early, it turns out that old people are still the wisest.
“Oh.”
【Daddy, daddy, Shu'er hugs daddy. 】
Chu Qinshu felt even more guilty when she saw her father frozen like this.
It's better to comfort him quickly.
"Wait a moment, Shu'er. Daddy will hold Shu'er when he's warm."
When Chu Chengyi saw his daughter in Emperor Yongping's arms, with her arms outstretched, trying to throw herself into his arms, his heart immediately felt warm.
Or maybe it's his daughter who loves him and understands him.
His daughter must have known that he wanted to be shocked in Spring City, so she asked the Snow Wolf King to take him around Spring City.
Although he suffered a little, he was very satisfied with this trip to Spring City.
Although Chuncheng is far away from Heicheng, it is also one of the three border cities of Youzhou. I think it won’t be long before Chu Chengshuo and the people behind him will hear about the appearance of the auspicious beast.
He can control auspicious beasts and his legend will be known in Sheng'an Country and even the entire Changxing Continent for a long time.
"Oh."
[Shu'er hugs Daddy and gives him warmth.]
Chu Qinshu's two short legs kept jumping on Emperor Yongping's legs, and her little arms kept waving.
"You little guy, you are not a heater, just let your dad hold you for a while to warm you up."
Emperor Yongping looked at the wrinkles on Chu Chengyi's face. He wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only hide behind Chu Qinshu and try hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
Alas, Chu Chengyi is now just like a naughty kid in his eyes.
He only thought about the auspicious beast but forgot the environment of Youzhou.
Aren't you just asking for trouble?
Fortunately he did not go to Ninggu Pagoda, otherwise he would have been frozen like this.
“Oh.”
[Make Dad a cup of hot water to drink, using the water in the water bag.]
Chu Qinshu couldn't walk by herself, and if Emperor Yongping didn't send her to Chu Chengyi's arms, she could only watch no matter how anxious she was.
All he could do was ask someone to bring him a glass of the all-purpose boiled water.
"Lin Fu, pour the prince a glass of water, using the water in the water bag."
Emperor Yongping suppressed the smile on his face and instructed Lin Fu according to Chu Qinshu's instructions.
Chu Chengyi hugged the stove for a while, drank a cup of hot water, and finally recovered his strength.
As soon as he sat back in the wheelchair, Chu Qinshu threw herself into his arms again.
"Okay, hold Shu'er and look at these two files."
Emperor Yongping stood up and handed Chu Qinshu to Chu Chengyi, and placed the two files he had just finished reading on the table in front of Chu Chengyi.
"Yes, I will take a look at it."
Chu Chengyi let Chu Qinshu sit in his arms and look at the files with her.
......
"...In five years, Prince Ning received five million taels of silver from Ma Xiuli, which he used to hunt for treasures and raise soldiers... The soldiers were mainly used for treasure hunting... The treasure hunting sites were all over Changxing and the five countries on the mainland...'
Chu Qinshu looked at the traditional Chinese characters on the file and understood part of the content by guessing.
Prince Ning was finally confessed.
Her uncle, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, is okay.
But, five million taels? That was more money than Matthew had in his hands.
In this case, the real person behind the Yuzhou case should be Prince Ning.
"Zhou Hongjing served as an official for 28 years. He embezzled more than one million taels of silver and bribed eight superiors. The list..."
"In the case of Chu Chengzhao's disappearance, Zhou Hongjing failed to find any useful clues in time, which delayed the opportunity to rescue him, causing Chu Chengzhao to fall into the water and die... There have also been many cases of children missing in the counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, all of which have been found to be related to the Yuzhou case. This is due to the dereliction of duty by Jingzhao Yin..."
Well, Zhou Hongjing is indeed a big resident bug.
If an official does not serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
This time he was thoroughly investigated and he had no chance to go home and sell sweet potatoes.
"Did you finish reading it?"
Emperor Yongping asked when he saw Chu Chengyi close the file.
"Yeah, I've finished reading it."
Chu Chengyi nodded.
Although he had known for a long time that there was something wrong with Prince Ning, he did not expect the truth to be so shocking.
Five million taels, all used to raise troops and hunt for treasure? What on earth was he going to do?
Also, Changxing has people in the five countries on the mainland. How did he do it?
In exchange for Sheng'an's resources? Or did they reach some kind of consensus with the people of those countries?
As for these, I’m afraid we can only know the truth after Prince Ning is arrested and interrogated.
"What do you think of Matthew Li's case?"
Emperor Yongping did not mention Prince Ning, but asked about Matthew Li.
Chu Chengyi's heart tightened, but he said calmly: "As the Minister of Rites, Ma Xiuli broke the law knowingly and harmed the people. Living sacrifice is not what the orthodox religion does. I think he should give the people an explanation."
Speaking objectively, there was no chance of survival for what Matthew Li had done.
Similarly, Prince Ning used most of the silver brought back from Yuzhou, so he was also an accomplice and had no chance of survival.
But Chu Chengyi couldn't say this.
Emperor Yongping, except for those few years when he was bewitched by the Empress, always attached great importance to the lives of his sons.
Otherwise, Chu Chengyi wouldn't have had to resort to such a self-torture tactic in order to send Prince Huai away from the capital.
"Well, you have a point."
Emperor Yongping nodded, put his hands behind his back, and sat down without saying a word.
Chu Qinshu looked at Emperor Yongping, then turned her head to look at Chu Chengyi.
I can't understand why these two people are fighting over such a simple thing?
And King Ning, his treasure hunt was never seen in the video. I don’t know if Xiao Hulu missed it or something went wrong.
"Master, it's not that Xiao Hulu missed it, but King Ning never does these things in person. When we watch his video, we naturally can't see any clues."
Little Gourd sensed Chu Qinshu's thoughts and hurriedly explained.
In the original book, Prince Ning and Prince Huai were targeting the two wooden warehouses in the East Palace, so it could not be ignored.
'Whose video should I watch to find more evidence of King Ning's crimes?'
Chu Qinshu believed that Emperor Yongping could not make up his mind to deal with Prince Ning because there was insufficient evidence.
