Chapter 268 People with ulterior motives
In the past few days, when they went to court, all they talked about was about the Huainan mine. Huainan was not far from Pingyanghou's fief, so when he went to court, apart from the prefect of Huainan, only Pingyanghou was mentioned the most.

"Qizou Emperor, lord, I heard the news from Huainan that when the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court arrived, there were already miners in the mine. I thought it must be someone with ulterior motives who wanted to steal the mine, make it their own."

"I have something to say! Since the mine was discovered in Huainan, it is normal for the miners to be active near the mine. If someone wants to steal the mine, Captain Li, do you have evidence?"

The official known as Captain Li glared at him, and then said: "Your Majesty, your lord, of course, the lower officials will not be able to produce evidence, but this possibility cannot be ruled out, and your Majesty, your lord, must pay attention to this matter. "

"This king understands, do other people have anything to play? If not, then retreat."

No one came forward, the Huainan Mine incident had already annoyed them enough, how could they have the energy to take care of other things now?

Eunuch Jiang said sharply, "Back to court—"

After leaving court, Ye Xunnan and Ye Huaichu went to the imperial study together, and not long after, Prime Minister Shu and several other officials were also passed in.

For a while, the mine has been completely placed on the bright side, and the court is bound to make a choice.

Prime Minister Shu said: "My lord, I think there are many doubts about this matter. Even if there are large mines in the wilderness, there is no reason for the miners to go mining by themselves. There must be someone behind them. Does the lord have any plans to send someone to Huainan to investigate?" case?"

Everyone looked at Ye Huaichu, and Ye Huaichu said embarrassingly: "There are people who choose, but they have other things to do. Prime Minister, is there a suitable candidate?"

Such a hot potato was thrown into the hands of Prime Minister Shu. He leaned back on the chair and thought for a while: "I have a candidate. Qing Yu Nan of Dali Temple is a master at handling cases. If any case falls into his hands, he will be able to handle it." Can the truth come out, what does the prince think?"

Ye Huaichu considered for a moment, then nodded: "That's him, the king will then draw up an order to let him set off immediately."

In this way, there are people investigating in the open and in the dark, which will put pressure on Pingyang Hou.

The most important evidence is the secret letter in his study. As long as the secret letter is in hand and witnesses are found, Pingyanghou can be identified as trying to embezzle the mine privately, and he has the intention of treason.

Ye Huaichu met Yu Nan secretly and asked him to check the witnesses, and the physical evidence was handed over to Sun Wenliang.

After finishing all this work, Ye Huaichu sat on the armchair wearily, pinching the space between her brows.

"Cousin, are you tired? Do you want to sleep?" Ye Xunnan poked his head out from behind the table and asked him cautiously.

Ye Huaichu glanced at him: "Be honest, don't think that this king doesn't know what your plans are, and you still want to fight with this king?"

"Slightly slightly~" Ye Xunnan stuck out her tongue and went about her own business.

No matter how busy Ye Huaichu is, he will stare at him all day long, Ye Huaichu is not tired, he is still tired!

After a busy day, when he returned to the palace, seeing Gu Qingning watching the snow in the courtyard, Ye Huaichu's mood improved all day.

The snow was not heavy, it was floating in the air, and it fell gently on the ground, with a slight "rustling" sound.

When people walk on the snow, they will inevitably make noises. Gu Qingning moved her ears, and when she looked back, she saw Ye Huaichu coming this way.
