Feng Jiuyan thought about it for a moment and figured it out. She looked into Fu Yanci's dark eyes and said softly, "If I'm guessing correctly, it's the account books and the list, right?"
Fu Yanci nodded, picked up a cup of tea with his slender fingers and put it into his mouth. He took a sip of the tea and then spoke, "Yes, you guessed right."
"Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and get it for you." Feng Jiuyan said, then stood up and walked back to the room next door where she lived.
In fact, all the accounts and lists she had found several times had been handed over to the dog emperor. Her original intention was to let the dog emperor know about this matter, and use the dog emperor's hand to investigate it clearly, so that he could bring these dog officials and extremely cruel nobles and gentry to justice.
But what was unexpected was that the lists and accounts had been sent to the dog emperor for many days, but he only investigated and punished two or three senior officials and a dozen small fry, while those officials who held important positions in the court did not receive corresponding punishments.
Fortunately, when she sent the accounts and lists to the palace, she had already made a copy in case of any trouble.
Sure enough, it came in handy today.
Feng Jiuyan returned to the room, turned around and closed the door, then took out a few blue books from the space. Then, she took the books back to Fu Yanci's room.
"Here, these are what I found. Take a look." Feng Jiuyan put a few books on the table and pushed a few blue books on the table in front of Fu Yanci, explaining,
"I copied all these books. The original books were sent to the palace to the dog emperor. I originally hoped that with his help, I could get to the bottom of this matter and bring these dogs who played with young girls to justice. But I didn't expect that the dog emperor would not arrest all the people on the list. He only raided the residences of a few officials to set an example."
"Well, that's okay. A copied copy will do." Fu Yanci's bony and slender fingers gently opened one of the booklets. He then began to read it carefully, with a focused and engaged expression, as if he was completely immersed in it.
Feng Jiuyan sat opposite him, sitting there quietly, occasionally picking up the teacup and taking a few sips of tea.
She focused her eyes on Fu Yanci, carefully observing every subtle expression on his face. She noticed that as time went by, Fu Yanci's reading speed kept increasing, and his originally relaxed brows were now tightly knitted together, as if the content of the book had made him fall into some kind of contemplation or doubt, making his expression become a little solemn.
After a while, Fu Yanci closed the last book, picked up the teacup beside him, and drank a sip of tea elegantly. He raised his eyes, looked at Feng Jiuyan, and said, "Weren't you still wondering why the emperor didn't investigate all the people on the list?"
"Well, why?" Feng Jiuyan asked with a puzzled look.
"Do you know which officials are recorded in these booklets?" Fu Yanci asked slowly.
Feng Jiuyan shook his head, "I don't know."
She had only been in this dynasty for less than a day when her family was confiscated and she was exiled. How could she know these officials? She only knew Meng Liang's father and Su Wanrou's father, Prime Minister Su. She didn't have a certain understanding of the others. She only knew that those on the list were officials, or wealthy gentry.
Fu Yanci said, "Almost half of the names on these books are officials from the imperial court, and the rest are either local prominent families or local celebrities.
What's even more terrible is that the officials recorded above all hold important positions in the court, such as Minister Meng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, etc. Moreover, the number of these officials accounts for almost one-third of the officials in the court!
If the emperor really wants to bring all the people on the list to justice, I am afraid that the entire Great Yan Dynasty will be paralyzed. Therefore, the emperor only symbolically investigated and punished a few senior officials in the court, as well as a dozen merchants with large businesses and considerable assets at home, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey! "
After listening to Fu Yanci's words, Feng Jiuyan suddenly understood. "So that's it! No wonder the court made an exception and added an autumn examination this year. It's very likely to fill these positions. It's more likely to prepare for the reshuffle of court officials."
Fu Yanci looked at Feng Jiuyan with admiration, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, "That's right. Xiaojiu is indeed talented."
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment." Feng Jiuyan raised the corners of his mouth and bowed to Fu Yanci with a smile.
Joking aside, Feng Jiuyan's expression suddenly became serious again. She asked, "When I was collecting these books, I saw Mr. Mo every time. I can be sure that these books are related to Mr. Mo.
Moreover, after many investigations, I found that those who can enter these places are all screened people, and not ordinary people can enter.
Tell me, what is Mr. Mo's purpose? If they just want to make money, why do they deliberately write down the names of those who patronize these prostitutes and traffic young men and girls into brothels?
If it is really for making money, then why are only those who have been screened allowed to enter?
Moreover, most of them are officials, and they occupy important positions in the court. And those who are not officials also hold a lot of wealth! "
Feng Jiuyan's brows were already knitted tightly together when she finished speaking. A flash of inspiration came to her, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked up at Fu Yanci and said in a low voice, "Do you think this will involve the dispute over the throne?"
"Your guess is very likely." Fu Yanci said slowly.
In fact, he also thought of this.
Since the book records the names of these people, there must be a conspiracy.
"From all indications, it is most likely related to the struggle for the throne among the current princes. They may be trying to use this to threaten the officials in the court and find something they can use to make these officials support themselves." Fu Yanci's eyes darkened and he said seriously.
"Well, you and I are thinking the same thing. Since it is related to the throne, it must be related to the Crown Prince, the King of Qi, and the King of Xiaoyao. In this case, we only need to check these three people, and we will know who is the master hiding behind that Mr. Mo." Feng Jiuyan's eyes lit up, and his face was full of joy.
The narrower the scope, the easier it will be to investigate. In this way, the mastermind behind the assassination of Dad and his family can be found sooner!
It’s only a matter of time before their family lives a stable life!
Feng Jiuyan seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly, "The last time you and I fell off the cliff, the assassin who assassinated you was Mr. Mo's man. You are also a member of the royal family. If I guess correctly, you are the son of Prince Zhan, Prince Rui Fu Yanci!
Since he is the one who assassinated you, do you have anyone you suspect?"
