When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 77
For the loss of thousands of taels of silver, the responsibility naturally fell on the imperial envoy first.

Therefore, after the accident, Cao Da, the servant of the household department, was immediately controlled and detained in the inner court of the Golden Eagle Division.

"Go and see."

Su Ya also opened her mouth, but remembering that King Qi is now in charge of investigating this case, she had to lead the two of them to the inner court.

The inner court is surrounded by golden eagle guards. Although they have knives on their waists, they are motionless, like stone sculptures.But Cheng Muqing could clearly feel that if she dared to trespass, they would put the knife on her neck.

After leaving the Xuan Prison Gate, Lin Heng became less nervous, and quietly looked around.

After waiting for almost a stick of incense, the inner court allowed the two to enter.

It was a young man who came to pick them up. He was quite handsome, with a pair of sharp phoenix eyes, and his cold white skin shone in the dark.

"Master Yan." Cheng Muqing clasped his fists and saluted.

Yan Yinian glanced at her, then looked at Lin Heng.

His eyes were sharp, looking at Lin Heng like a knife.As if dissatisfied, he frowned.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, just when Cheng Muqing was about to say something to ease it, he spoke——

"Please come with me." Yan Yinian made a gesture of invitation.

The two followed him into the inner court.

I thought that the heavy guards outside were already very strong, but I didn't expect that the inner court was also guarded every five steps, and every ten steps was one sentry.

"Don't look around." Yan Yinian reminded.

Cheng Muqing quickly looked away, thinking, she hasn't seen the layout clearly yet.

After walking for a while, the two came to a cell.

Compared to the Xuan Prison Gate outside, this is simply a luxurious single room.

In the cell, Cao Da got up quickly when he saw someone coming.He seemed to know Lin Heng, so he ran to him immediately and bowed to him, "His Royal Highness, Wanan."

"En." Lin Heng responded.

"I don't know...Who is Prince Qi coming?" Cao Da looked at him, then at Cheng Muqing, "Ah, this is Princess Qi, Princess Qi Wanan."

"Is this your brother?" Lin Heng took out the painting and covered Cheng Muqing with the drawing paper.He didn't like people staring at her.

"This..." Cao Da froze, "This..."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Muqing didn't move, allowing himself to be separated from Cao Da by a picture, "I don't know you?"

"To be honest, this is my cousin from far away." Cao Da sighed heavily, "His family was in trouble. I originally thought that as a brother, I would help as much as I could. Unexpectedly, he actually carried me behind his back." Go to gamble! And lost a lot of money... I repeatedly educated him and beat him until he couldn't walk. Unexpectedly, he ran away from home! To be honest, I still don't know his whereabouts. If he owes Your Highness's money...then the old man will pay for it!"

"Just like that?" Lin Heng frowned slightly.

"It's just that... Could it be?" Cao Da froze, "Could it be that he did something outrageous for money?"

"It's not just that." Cheng Muqing poked his head out from behind the portrait, "Golden Eagle Division's Flying Eagle Envoy caught him. He was dying at the time, and he woke up after overnight treatment at the Imperial Hospital."

"Still alive?" Cao Da breathed a sigh of relief, "He is the only one in his family, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive... But, what did he do wrong? Why did he use the Golden Eagle Division?"

"The case of the loss of disaster relief silver."

"Ah?" Cao Da looked at her with his mouth open, as if petrified.

"He cooperated with the gangsters and robbed the relief money." Cheng Muqing observed the change of his expression, "Just now he admitted that it was you who instructed him."

"No! Impossible!" Cao Da held onto the gate, shaking his head constantly, "I won't do it! I, Cao Da, want to do this for Dajin, how could I do such a thing!"

"Then why was the disaster relief bank robbed?" Cheng Muqing asked, "As far as I know, in order to avoid publicity, the relief team will be divided into several groups to cover up their whereabouts. You, the imperial envoy, should be the only one who knows the timeline. ?”

"It's not a minister!" Cao Da knelt down and sighed, "If you don't believe me, you two can go and investigate! I don't know why my cousin is entrapping me like this. I really didn't do anything!"

Lin Heng looked at Cheng Muqing.

Cheng Muqing smiled back at him.

"Then tell me about the circumstances of the incident." Lin Heng asked.

"At that time... I was in the carriage, and just as I walked to the gate of the city, I heard a thunderclap." Cao Da said, "Then there was a cloud of smoke... I heard the clang of swords and swords... After everything returned to calm , and found that all the silver had become fake...then I was escorted here."

When he spoke the second half of the sentence, Cheng Muqing could clearly feel that the man in front of him had aged a lot in an instant.

"Who else knows this route?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Master Shangshu."

"Who usually looks after the money?"

"They are all small officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs." Cao Da said, "Every day the people are arranged differently."

"Is there anyone acting suspiciously in Tobu recently?"

Cao Da was silent, thought for a long time, then shook his head.

"Cao Shilang, please think about the details." Cheng Muqing said, "I'll ask you again tomorrow."

Cao Da looked at her for a long time before nodding.

"Let's go." Cheng Muqing read the words and thought.

"En." The other party sent them out of the inner court with a cold face.

After leaving the inner court, Cheng Muqing led Lin Heng straight out of the Golden Eagle Division with ease.

The ground eagle envoy on duty at the gate was already familiar with her, so he didn't stop her.

A stove was placed in the carriage room, Cheng Muqing hugged Mrs. Tang, and put his hands on the small wooden table, "Heng, do you have any thoughts about this case now?"

"I don't know either." Lin Heng shook his head, "But I think we should figure it out."

"Please speak." Cheng Muqing raised his chin.

"First of all, the case is the loss of disaster relief money. The scene was scattered with fake money and dust left by smoke bombs. According to insiders, it was robbed by a group of dead men." Lin Heng raised his eyes and saw her looking at him seriously, drumming Courage continued, "Now, what we know is that... There was a person who lost 1000 taels of silver in a gambling shop. The person who was involved in this case and killed was the brother of the servant of the household department. It seems that the servant of the household department has something to say I want to say..."

"You observe carefully." Cheng Muqing smiled.

Lin Heng's cheeks blushed, and he continued, "There is still a doubt, that is...why did you leave fake silver at the scene?"

It would be fine to just rob it, so why leave fake money behind to pretend to be money?

The carriage room was silent, both of them were thinking about something.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind howled, but after a while, it began to rain continuously.The sky and the earth were dark, except for the small lanterns in the carriage emitting a soft and faint light.

"Goo-"

The originally peaceful carriage was suddenly broken by a grunt.

Lin Heng looked at Cheng Muqing, "You're hungry."

It is an affirmative sentence.

"For sure." Cheng Muqing didn't deny it, she was always frank, "What time is it, I haven't had my dinner yet..."

Outside the tent, Jinxi's crisp voice came, "Princess, it's the end of the hour."

"It's so late?" Cheng Muqing exclaimed, she blinked and looked at Lin Heng, "Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Heng shook his head.

"I think you are used to being hungry." Cheng Muqing couldn't help but said.

At this moment, the people in the market had gradually dispersed, and the carriage naturally drove a little faster.

Just as Cheng Muqing was thinking about what to eat, he suddenly heard a...disharmonious voice from outside the carriage.

　　The rain hit the bulging veins on her hands and wet her clothes.

　　She stood in front of him like this, with the corners of her clothes flying and her hair messy.
