The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 110 The fog is heavy, is it ruthless?
Feng Moran didn't run very far, but after leaving the yard, she stopped behind a cluster of flower beds.

Just recalling Ruan Fu's appearance and Yu Wujue's words, the coldness on her face deepened.

Why?She didn't understand why there was a corner in Yu Wujue's heart that no one could touch, how could someone as arrogant as him allow another person to occupy his mind, and why could Ruan Fu?
Feng Moran couldn't figure it out, the expression on her face was changing and complicated, could it be that it was just because Ruan Fu's ability was of great benefit to him?

She was meditating here, but she didn't know that there was a pair of eyes behind her, and she saw her gaffe in her eyes.

Although Yu Wuyan didn't know what happened on the other side, she also knew that the only person who could make Feng Moran like this was Yu Wujue. Thinking of this, her eyes became darker.

-

As the imperial envoy and a group of guards behind the imperial envoy brought a group of people back to Yongjia City, the counterfeit currency case, since the news of the Jiazhou counterfeit currency was introduced to the court, has now achieved some results.

This matter did not have a particularly large influence among the people of Yongjia. Therefore, when the relevant people were escorted back to Yongjia, the people just watched and pointed. After the prison, everything gradually tended to quiet down.

There were originally two imperial envoys, but because Gao Li was stabbed by an assassin, he returned to Yongjia early to recuperate. Because of this reason, this young and vigorous official beat his feet and chest after waking up. Sorry to resolve this matter.And the main force of the imperial envoys who came back was naturally Ruan Song.

After leaving the Ministry of Punishment, Ruan Song went directly to the palace to meet Emperor Yuanchang.

Emperor Yuanchang met Ruan Song in the side hall of the imperial study. At that time, it was Ruan Fu who accompanied Emperor Yuanchang in the side hall of the imperial study.

When Ruan Song entered the side hall, he saw Ruan Fu dealing with official documents, his expression was a bit complicated, but he hurried forward, "My minister sees Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuanchang raised his hand, "Your Prime Minister has worked hard this time, let's get up and talk."

"Yes."

"How about the counterfeit currency case in Jiazhou?"

Ruan Song took out a booklet from his sleeve, "This is the history of the counterfeit currency case in Jiazhou. After investigation, Weichen has listed the names of officials in Jiazhou involved in this case, the number of people involved in the case, and the private bank manufacturing point. The bank supervisors involved in the case are all on the booklet."

An Cheng stepped forward, took the folder from Ruan Song, and placed it in front of Emperor Yuanchang.

Emperor Yuanchang took it to look it over, and frowned slightly while reading it, only to hear Ruan Song continue, "The person involved in this case is mainly Zeng Guang, the magistrate of Jiazhou. Although Zeng Guang has refused to plead guilty, he has been Crying for grievances, but Weichen has found a large amount of unused official bank from Zeng Guang's private treasury. In addition, 24 officials in Jiazhou, 72 private craftsmen, 64 private silver manufacturing sites, and [-] businessmen were involved As well as the six banks involved in the Seventeenth Road of the Bank, all of them have been listed, and there are countless people who fled outside."

After reading the excerpt, Emperor Yuanchang snorted coldly, "These people are really daring!"

After finishing speaking, he handed the notebook to Ruan Fu, "Look, too, so many people are involved in the case, Jiazhou is only a thousand miles away from Yongjia, do these people think that the imperial court can't control them!"

"Your Majesty calm down." Ruan Song hurriedly said.

Although Emperor Yuanchang had a bad look on his face, when he said this, it showed that he was just dissatisfied, not really angry, and glanced at Ruan Song, "Go on, there are still people who refuse to plead guilty? "

"Yes, the prefect of Jiazhou is one of them who is stubborn. He still refuses to plead guilty despite the witnesses and physical evidence, or keeps calling for grievances, or refuses to explain the whereabouts of the silver coins to death. In addition, a small number of the 64 businessmen claim that they are Those who were deceived had no knowledge of the counterfeit money, and among the six firms, the biggest Hang family launched a resistance."

"Oh? Why do these people refuse to plead guilty? Since you have arrested them, there is always evidence."

Ruan Song said, "Some of the people involved in the case were arrested by Weichen who seized the evidence, and some were exposed during the interrogation process. Silver and a large number of hidden counterfeit coins, in front of witnesses and physical evidence, even if they refuse to admit or deny it, Wei Chen can only bring people back to Yongjia first, and let the Ministry of punishment start."

Emperor Yuanchang nodded, squinted his eyes and said, "I remember, this Hang family is the largest merchant in Jiazhou, with a wide range of commercial products, will they even join the private bank case?"

Ruan Song hurriedly said, "I never expected that when I first arrived in Jiazhou, the Hang family had always been helpful, and finally they were found out, but the Hang family resisted with the whole family, and they were the most severe one. After torture and interrogation in Zhouzhou, someone in the Hang family had already pleaded guilty, but Hang Hongtian, the head of the Hang family, not only still refused to plead guilty and refused to cooperate. Repeat offenders are held in solitary confinement."

Emperor Yuanchang hummed lightly, and Ruan Song continued, "The silver supervisor was killed by someone behind the scenes earlier, and the minister brought back only a few people who didn't understand the matter. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

After a pause, Ruan Song still had a sense of guilt that he was not doing well.

Emperor Yuanchang didn't say anything, but just looked at Ruan Song, "Jiazhou is rich in minerals, this trip, may we find something."

Speaking of Jiazhou's mineral materials, Ruan Song felt even more heartbroken, "The perpetrator, with the acquiescence of the Jiazhou prefect, exploited a large number of private mines. Jiazhou's mineral materials are now dead in name only!"

Emperor Yuanchang snorted coldly, pursed his lips and said nothing, "You have worked hard this time. Since the person has been brought back, I will transfer the matter to the Ministry of Punishment. You will assist me and provide relevant evidence for follow-up."

Ruan Song was stunned, "Your Majesty, I am responsible for this matter. Your Majesty Qing allows me to continue to participate."

Emperor Yuanchang was not salty, "You have worked hard so far. You went to Jiazhou and got injured. Now that the matter has come to an end, you should transfer to the Ministry of punishment. Otherwise, this girl should blame me for suppressing you for everything." body."

After all, he glanced at Ruan Fu.

Ruan Fu finished reading Ruan Song's excerpt, and when he heard what Emperor Yuanchang said, he just put it down, without any refutation or approval.

Ruan Song wanted to say something, but seeing Emperor Yuanchang's expression, he struggled for a while, and finally pursed his lips and remained silent.

However, Ruan Fu raised a question at this time, "Right Prime Minister, Ruan Fu has a doubt."

Ruan Song frowned, although he was not very happy, but still said, "I don't know what doubts Ruan Tongzhi has."

Ruan Fu looked at the brochure, "Does the Chief Secretary of Jiazhou have any comment on this matter?"

Ruan Song looked as usual, "Ruan Tongzhi is really observant." Then he said to Emperor Yuanchang, "The Chief Secretary of Jiazhou attaches great importance to this matter. After the minister entered Jiazhou, the Chief Secretary sent people to assist and provide convenience. Your Excellency knows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, and has given full authority to the imperial envoys to handle it. Although the chief secretary of Jiazhou is in charge of Jiazhou's military and political power, the imperial court sent people directly to deal with the counterfeit currency case. Therefore, the chief secretary of Jiazhou only assists from the sidelines. .”

Ruan Fu smiled, as if he really knew, "I forgot."

After that, I didn't ask any more questions.

Emperor Yuanchang didn't keep Ruan Song any longer, he only asked Ruan Song to leave after talking about Jiazhou's counterfeit coins.

It wasn't until Ruan Song left the imperial study that Emperor Yuanchang looked at Ruan Fu, "You girl, you don't save half of your face for your father."

No one likes being questioned by his daughter in front of the emperor.

Ruan Fu only said, "Ruan Fu is just talking about the facts."

Emperor Yuanchang also probably knew about her temperament, and every time he saw this, he felt a little dazed in his heart. This kind of temperament is certainly good for a person who does great things, especially those who deal with court affairs, but , but also looked a little colder.

"After reading this brochure, what else do you think about this matter?"

Ruan Fu pursed his lips, and continued, "The investigation is almost done. From a simple case of counterfeit currency, it is enough to leave the matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the final finishing touch. However, Your Majesty has already made a decision, right? ?”

Since Ruan Song is an imperial envoy, according to common sense, it should not be completely released after returning to Yongjia, but Emperor Yuanchang said so now, he has some arrangements, although it is prevented, but he has given certain rights, Zhang Chi There is a degree, the art of the emperor.

Emperor Yuanchang glanced at Ruan Fu, but did not speak. After being a co-instructor of the imperial study for a long time, Ruan Fu also understood Emperor Yuanchang's temperament to some extent, so he continued, "According to the information obtained by His Royal Highness Ji Wang and His Royal Highness Qing, it seems Perhaps not only this is behind Jiazhou's counterfeit money, but more importantly, where is the counterfeit money? Who killed the Bank Supervisor and why was it killed?"

These seem to have been solved, but in fact there are still many doubts. From the point of view of a counterfeit currency case, this step is considered to be the end of the case, but in fact, for Ruan Phuc, this case The matter is not over, at least, judging from Yu Wufan's injury and the assassination that still exists, the matter is not over.

However, it was precisely because of this that the current situation made her feel confused and confused. She clearly had doubts, but this kind of doubt had a feeling that it was untenable and could not continue to investigate.

Emperor Yuanchang laughed, "You girl!"

However, Emperor Yuanchang shook his head. As an emperor, he can naturally think of a lot, but his focus now is on the reaction of some courtiers after Ruan Song returned to Yongjia, "I don't know how many people are paying attention to this matter behind the scenes. As soon as the Ministry of Criminal Justice followed up and found out, I don't know how many people can be involved in this court. I handed this matter over to Ruan Song because I trust him in certain things, but I don't trust him completely. I want to see Look, how many big fish can be caught in Jiazhou's counterfeit money case, these people have been in the court for a long time, do they think that if I don't come out of the palace, they don't know what their hands are doing?"

When it came to the end, Emperor Yuanchang's tone was a little heavy, with more domineering emperor.

Ruan Fu secretly thought, Jiazhou's counterfeit currency may be a game, and Ruan Song may also be planning, but why isn't the emperor in the deep palace planning?
This is a qualified monarch who uses the art of the emperor to perfection, no matter how much his subjects have thoughts, but in some matters, the real wise monarch still has a measure in his heart.

For Emperor Yuanchang, what Ruan Song pursued was power and profit. No matter what his actions are now, as long as he finds a key point, he can become a dead spot at any time.

And Emperor Yuanchang was the one who saw everyone's death spot with sharp eyes. Therefore, when he handed over the power to others, he also grasped everything very accurately.

Ruan Fu obviously understands this point, and it is because of this point that since she became a co-prefect of the Imperial Study, her admiration for Emperor Yuanchang has become more and more profound. The orthodox family of the Central Plains supported Nanhua. With the temperament of his grandfather, he might not be willing to assist Emperor Yuanchang, but...that is already a thing of the past. When his grandfather was in his prime, Emperor Yuanchang was just a young emperor. There may not be the current means.And her admiration for Emperor Yuanchang like a father is more or less due to the wisdom of a grandfather and the appearance of a hero that she admires in Emperor Yuanchang.

It's just... Ruan Fu lowered his eyes, "What if the right minister is not only for fame and power?"

Emperor Yuanchang narrowed his eyes slightly, and remained silent for a while, Ruan Fu knew that his words were just out of sensitivity, and he was thinking too much, so he just said, "Ruan Fu made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty, please blame me."

But even so, Ruan Fu still had a strange feeling in his heart because he had been in the right minister's house for a long time. It came from Ruan Song's feeling that everything seemed reasonable and normal, but it made people feel that something was wrong .

But these all stem from this point and cannot be grasped, so she has no way to talk about it.

Emperor Yuanchang waved his hand, didn't say much, just said, "You should pay more attention to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes." Ruan Fu replied, "Ruan Fu wants to ask His Majesty to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to take a look at the people who committed the crime in Jiazhou."

Emperor Yuanchang nodded, "Pass down my will, and you will supervise the trial on my behalf."

"Yes."

-

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, everyone who was pressed back this time was a little embarrassed.

Zeng Guang, the prefect of Jiazhou, was held alone in a cell. When Ruan Fu entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he could still hear Zeng Guang shouting, but the voice was already very weak. She did not go to see Zeng Guang immediately, but turned to Turning his head to the head of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he asked, "Where is the head of the Jiazhou Hang family imprisoned?"

"In the innermost cell, does Ruan Tongzhi want to see it?"

Seeing the worried and disapproving look of the cell master, Ruan Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, can't you go and see?"

The head of the cell still respects Ruan Fu very much, especially after seeing such a young girl entering this gloomy prison, she can still be so calm and composed, without any fear or disgust. He hurriedly said, "Don't dare, it's just that the Patriarch of the Hang family was imprisoned, and his emotions were too much, and he might have offended Ruan Tongzhi."

"Isn't he locked in a cell alone, and the cell is still locked with chains, it's okay, let's lead the way."

"Yes." The cell master hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Ruan Tongzhi, please—"

Ruan Fu nodded, and followed the footsteps of the cell master into the depths of the cell.

When seeing the Patriarch of the Hang family, the Patriarch of the Hang family looked very calm. Ruan Fu waved to the master of the cell, "You go out first, I will talk to Mr. Hang."

The prison master was still a little worried, but after hesitating for a while, he bowed and retreated.

Seeing Ruan Fu standing alone outside the cell, the head of the Hang family was not as restless as the cell master said. He just sat on the haystack and looked up at Ruan Fu quietly.

Ruan Fu's voice was calm, "Patriarch Hang."

This calm voice made Patriarch Hang, who was looking straight at her, stand up, walked a few steps forward, and walked to the door of the cell. After a long time, he sneered at Ruan Fu's indifferent expression, "If you want to come, can you?" Meng Changqing is the only woman who enters the cell at such a time and still remains unchanged."

"I'm next to Ruan Fu." Ruan Fu said lightly.

The head of the Hang family snorted softly, "Ruan Fu, isn't she Ruan Song's daughter, now, instead of Ruan Song, she wants me to tell me where all the things of my Hang family are? Together, they want to annex the Hang family's property."

Patriarch Hang's voice was a little excited, and his tone of voice was a little forbearing.

Ruan Fu smiled, not feeling angry about it, "The owner of the Hang family is now in jail, and the Taoist is about to die, and his words are good. These words, even if the Hang family did not involve the case of counterfeit money in Jiazhou, it is enough to implicate The Hang family is gone."

"Hmph! What's the point of saying this now? Jiazhou's counterfeit currency is just a cover. Now that all the big merchants are implicated in this case, since I have already been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Yongjia, it's just my life. What are you afraid of?"

"For a long time, merchants have said that the Jiazhou Hang family values ​​righteousness rather than profit. Now the Hang family leader regards death as home, which is really admirable." Ruan Fu said.

Patriarch Hang obviously endured it for a long time. Hearing what Ruan Fu said, he just stared at Ruan Fu, and did not say a word.

Ruan Fu's eyes moved slightly, "In that case, why didn't the owner of the Hang family plead guilty? As far as I know, there was already a trial when he was in Jiazhou. Someone in the Hang family has already admitted to participating in this matter and provided evidence for it. And, for this reason, the Hang family has already sacrificed an heir, so why bother the head of the Hang family?"

Speaking of this matter, Patriarch Hang's expression changed more obviously. Although his hands were locked by chains, he was still only holding on to the frame of the prison, and stared fiercely at Ruan Fu, "Admit it? If not How can you come to the Hang family to make a confession! It is because of your blind court, and because of the collusion of your officials, that forced my Hang family to fall into this situation. Meng Changqing, when you think about it in the future, how safe is your conscience? How is your conscience?"

His voice became more and more agitated, and it had already aroused the emotions of the people in the surrounding cells, who also stood up one after another. The voice of Patriarch Hang spread far in the prison, and there were also shouts around him.

Seeing this, the head of the cell came in and said, "Shut up!"

After that, he walked up to Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tongzhi?"

Ruan Fu waved his hand, looked at Patriarch Hang who was still staring at him viciously, sighed softly, and waved his hand to let the cell master who came forward to go down, "You don't have to come in without my order."

The face of the cell master changed slightly, and finally retreated hesitantly.

Patriarch Hang has calmed down, Ruan Fu frowned, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice will follow up on this case, the case of counterfeit money in Jiazhou is still under investigation, Patriarch Hang is sure you want to continue the current situation?"

The hang family leader stopped talking.

Ruan Fu's eyes drooped slightly, his tone was calm, and he seemed a little low in the dark cell, "In Chen Country, all merchants have always had good comments on the Hang family. The owner of the Hang family only thinks about the Hang family and this matter. It's irrelevant, the Hang family was beaten into a trick, you might as well think about it, in this case, why the Hang family was dragged into this quagmire."

After she finished speaking, she took a deep look at Patriarch Hang, stopped talking, looked around the surrounding cells, and left directly. Before leaving, Ruan Fu stayed in front of Jiazhou Zhifu's cell for a moment, obviously , the news from Patriarch Hang's side has already spread to Zeng Guang, the prefect of Jiazhou. Seeing Ruan Fu's figure, he kept shouting, his voice was miserable and seemed a little weak and funny.

But Ruan Fu didn't go in. He only glanced at Zeng Guang's cell from a distance, frowned and went out directly.

It's just that Ruan Fu didn't know that after he left the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a figure flashed by in an inconspicuous corner of the cell.

Mr. Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, followed Ruan Fu out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and asked after walking a few steps, "I wonder if Ruan Tongzhi has any ideas after seeing these criminals?"

Ruan Fu smiled, "Your Majesty just asked me to supervise the trial, and did not directly participate in this case. Today, I just came to see the perpetrators of the Jiazhou counterfeit currency case. As for how to handle the case, I am really not familiar with it." , I have to trouble Lord Yan to bother you."

Hearing what Ruan Fu said, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. What Ruan Fu said did reassure him. Emperor Yuanchang ordered Ruan Fu to follow this matter, but he was still worried that Ruan Fu Will he intervene or do something else because of this, he doesn't know much about Ruan Fu, he only knows that this woman is more capable than ordinary people.

"Why do you bother to talk about what you are assigned to?" The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment also relaxed his tone.

Ruan Fu nodded, "Your Majesty can rest assured of Lord Yan's ability. Ruan Fu has long heard that Lord Yan of the Ministry of Punishment is upright and rigorous. I also believe in Lord Yan's ability."

Hearing this, Mr. Yan looked a little solemn. He knew that some of Ruan Fu's words could, at some point, be taken as the meaning of Emperor Yuan Chang. Emperor Chang secretly meant.

It seems that the Jiazhou counterfeit currency case must be treated with caution.

After sending Ruan Fu away, Master Yan hurriedly summoned his subordinates, and carefully ordered various matters related to this case. The day when the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to get busy came.

In the study of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Ruan Song just got the news, "Missy went to the prison of the Criminal Ministry?"

"Yes, it took more than a quarter of an hour to go in, and then the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment personally sent the eldest lady out."

Ruan Song nodded, although his expression was a bit deep, but he didn't say anything.

Ruan Qi hesitated, "Master?"

Ruan Song waved his hand, "She can go if she wants to, don't worry about it."

"Yes."

After returning to Qianyunju, Ruan Fu sat behind the desk and thought for a while, then called Tsing Yi in, "Tsing Yi, the Mu family also has business contacts with the Hang family in Jiazhou, what kind of owner is the Hang family?" people?"

Tsing Yi naturally knew about the Hang family's involvement in the counterfeit currency case, and also knew that Ruan Fu went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to meet the head of the Hang family today. When I said it, I still couldn't believe it, after all, the Hang family's reputation in the business world has always been very good, and the Mu family has cooperated with the Hang family several times, so I still know a little about the personality of the Hang family leader."

Nowadays, when doing business, it is natural to know more about the other party, and Ruan Fu also knows that many of the Mu family's business in Jiazhou directly cooperated with the Hang family. Many, but silent.

"Miss, are you worried about the counterfeit currency case in Jiazhou?"

"Like you, I really don't believe that the Hang family is related to this incident, but all the evidence now points to the Hang family. Today I went to see the owner of the Hang family. Although he was unwilling, he also It may not be that there was too much resistance, but it made people feel a little unreasonable." Ruan Fu laughed.

More than that, according to the information obtained, the most valued heir of the Hang family's head was accidentally injured and died in this case because of resistance, and he used it as a threat. It can be seen that today's Hang family's head, when she mentioned this matter, The reaction to this incident certainly did not have the hopeless despair that he showed.

Tsing Yi pursed her lips, "Although Tsing Yi doesn't quite understand the complexity and twists and turns, but, just like Tsing Yi's business operations these years, no matter how well he behaves in front of outsiders, no matter how well a person does, there will always be some shame. In addition, the inside story of the Hang family is a bit complicated. The last time the cooperation between the Mu family and the Hang family was two years ago. There are some internal struggles because of the family's business outside of Jiazhou."

This happens between every family, or between families with relatively complex personnel, let alone a family like the Hang family.

"Oh, tell me." Ruan Fu's eyes moved slightly.

"At that time, we didn't investigate this matter in depth. We only knew that the second room of the Hang family had ambitions in this regard. At that time, the second room had the idea of ​​intervening in the business with the Hang family, but it was not capable enough to cause any impact."

Ruan Fu nodded, and was flipping through the paperwork on the table, "Now the name of the second bedroom of the Hang family is not on the list of the Hang family involved."

Tsing Yi pursed her lips and said, "There have been rumors among the people in Jiazhou that the Hang family has separated."

"So that's how it is." Clapping the folder in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of Ruan Fu's lips.

Early in the morning, the supposedly quiet Prince Jin Mansion was shattered by a voice. It was rare for Yu Wufan to rush into the Prince Jin Mansion with a bad tone, "Fourth brother, I haven't made it this day!"

Yu Wujue ignored her, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and was gracefully tracing the magnolia flowers still blooming in the courtyard, when he heard Yu Wufan's voice, he hummed in a mild manner.

Most of the wounds on Yu Wufan's body have already healed, and at this time, people are still alive and well, "I don't even know what big secret I know on this trip, why there are always a group of people who are not afraid of death to come to me?"

Last night, Prince Ji's Mansion welcomed another group of people. This is already the third wave of people since he returned to Yongjia. Even if those people can't hurt him, such behavior of wanting to kill him is not only stupid but also tiring. Okay?
"Aren't you living in peace now?" Yu Wujue asked darkly.

When I put pen to paper again, a painting of magnolia blooming with dew in the morning has already appeared on the paper.

Yu Wujue finally put down the pen in his hand, and then looked straight at Yu Wufan who had a bad face.

Yu Wufan was also a little discouraged, "This group of people really want their lives. They can't do anything to me, but they don't plan to go back alive. There are two groups of people, and no one is left alive."

Even Yu Wufan himself couldn't help but wonder, isn't this kind of behavior telling others that you are tricky?
Yu Wujue glanced at him, and said, "The case of counterfeit currency is already under trial by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Yu Wufan was a little worried, "The evidence brought back from Jiazhou's counterfeit money all points to the collusion between officials and businessmen to make money privately, but what we found is not these. Fourth brother, Ruan Song is responsible for this matter, is it behind..."

Yu Wufan didn't finish his sentence, but from his expression, people could already tell what he meant. From the evidence that Ruan Song checked, there was absolutely no response to the murder of the Bank Supervisor and Jiazhou Mineral Materials. The information that the ore materials and the counterfeit coins produced are not consistent, if there is no secret investigation on this matter, or it can be confused, but after the secret investigation, this suspicion is sent back to Yongjia along with the relevant criminals, which makes people even more suspicious up.

Yu Wujue narrowed his eyes, "You don't know what kind of person Ruan Song is?"

But Yu Wufan was a little worried, "But he is Changqing's father."

Yu Wujue glanced at him indifferently, and didn't say anything, but Yu Wufan didn't quite understand.

While the two brothers were still talking, Wuqi came with a pigeon in his arms, "My lord, there is news."

Yu Wujue hummed, took the message from Wuqi, opened it slowly, only glanced at it for a while, then fell silent.

Seeing this, Yu Wufan frowned and said, "Fourth brother?"

Yu Wujue passed the news to Yu Wufan, "The third brother sent it back. It seems that there are still many secrets in Jiazhou that have not been discovered."

After reading the news above, he frowned and said, "Fourth brother, I will leave immediately to meet third brother."

Yu Wujue shook his head, "You stay in Yongjia."

"But..." Yu Wufan said anxiously, but before he could finish speaking, the housekeeper from Jinwang Mansion hurried over, "My lord, Miss Ruan has come to the mansion."

"Why is Changqing here?" Yu Wufan asked with some doubts when he heard that the words he wanted to speak were interrupted.

But Yu Wujue had already stepped away when the butler opened his mouth.

"Why are you here?" Yu Wujue looked at the person in front of him, although he was happy that she came to see him, but the fog in the early morning was still a bit heavy, and the morning in April and May was still a bit cold, but he couldn't bear to let her suffer from the cold invasion.

Ruan Fu smiled, seeing someone's expression clearly contradictory, but jokingly said, "Why, I'm not welcome at His Royal Highness Jin's house?"

"Welcome very much!" Before Yu Wujue could say anything, Yu Wufan, who followed behind, spoke first.Seeing Ruan Fu was obviously also very happy.

Ruan Fu looked at him, "How is King Ji recovering now?"

Yu Wufan smiled brightly, "It's much better, thank you Changqing for your concern."

As soon as he said it, he saw Yu Wujue turned his face and gave him a cold look, Yu Wufan blinked, and had no choice but to shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Yu Wujue brought him into the study and poured Ruan Fu a cup of hot tea, "Why so early?"

Ruan Fu naturally took the hot tea he handed over, took a sip, and then took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Wujue, "This is the account book of the merchants involved in the Jiazhou case."

Yu Wujue took it with a frown, opened it up and looked carefully, Ruan Fu didn't bother him, just sat beside him, Yu Wufan seemed to feel some different atmosphere when he saw the two of them like this, so he kept his mouth shut. Word.

After a quarter of an hour, Yu Wujue closed the account book in his hand, but his first sentence was not to express any opinion on the account book, but to look at Ruan Fu with some disapproval, "This is your sorted out?"

Ruan Fu nodded and said indifferently, "Since you have doubts, you have to find out what the problem is."

But Yu Wujue lowered his gaze, "I'm not in a hurry for a while, you don't have to work so hard."

"I'm fine. At least I'll clear up my doubts earlier, and I'll feel more at ease."

Yu Wujue sighed, but finally didn't say anything more about her.

After closing the account book that Ruan Fu handed over to him, Yu Wujue said, "We have already expected that the production of mineral materials and counterfeit coins is not worthy of the name. The Criminal Department will continue to check and follow up on the family background of Jiazhou merchants."

Ruan Fu said, "But in fact, one of the most interesting phenomena is that nearly half of the property of the Hang family was handed over to the second room of the Hang family when the family was divided, and most of the property left by the main family of the Hang family was Produced by private silver manufacturing."

Yu Wujue naturally also discovered this phenomenon in the account book.

Yu Wufan frowned and said, "The Patriarch of the Hang family is a generous person."

Ruan Fu shook his head, and said in a low tone, "Who knows."

What she didn't say was how much thought she had put into sorting out the data that was mixed in many account books with imperceptible problems. According to the case handling process of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Jiazhou counterfeit currency case has actually been settled for more than half. Every single bill is no longer checked carefully, and those problems are naturally ignored.

For example, the second room of the Hang family is not involved in this case, so the bills involving the second room of the Hang family are easily overlooked.

For example, the time correspondence between the reduction in the quantity of Jiazhou mineral materials and the number of counterfeit coins produced was also deliberately erased by the understatement of the original announcement.

There are too many problems, and they are hidden in every blind spot that is not easy to be discovered, so this counterfeit currency case only ended with a corruption in which officials and businessmen colluded with each other because of their interests.

"It doesn't matter, just hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial." Yu Wujue said, "This case will take at least a month, before and after."

"Where is the third brother?" Yu Wufan interjected, this is what he wanted to talk about just now.

Yu Wujue pursed her lips, but looked at Ruan Fu, "In a few days, I still need to go to Jiazhou."

Ruan Fu lowered his eyes, "His Royal Highness Qing, has there been any progress?"

Yu Wujue nodded, "I still need to go to this matter myself." In the end, he still reminded Ruan Fu, "Be careful, don't act too hastily."

Ruan Fu nodded, and Yu Wufan also said seriously, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will take care of Yongjia's affairs."

Yu Wujue nodded and looked at Yu Wufan with a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something more, but finally he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Yu Wufan, who was still in deep thought, didn't pay attention, thought for a while, and after saying something, he also left in a hurry. In an instant, he knew that Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue were left in the study.

Ruan Fu stared at the account book on the table thoughtfully, "At first, I went back to Yongjia only because I secretly knew that my father's wind direction in the court was not as normal as he usually showed. At that time, I still expected Maybe I can get some news from it, but in fact, I found that His Majesty has long been aware of my father. Later, I no longer have too much hope, but now, I can't see clearly what is behind him. What's the plan?"

Naturally, Yu Wujue couldn't answer this question, but seeing how Ruan Fu treated Ruan Song with no affection for father and daughter, but his eyes were deep, Ruan Fu instantly understood the deep meaning in his eyes, gently Sighing, "Wu Jue, am I being too ruthless?"

Even if this person has no father-daughter relationship with her, this body still belongs to that person's daughter after all.

Yu Wujue shook his head with a warm expression.

Of course not, he just felt sorry for her, but even in this life, she never had a moment of warmth before he appeared.

He, who lost his mother in a young age, couldn't understand that kind of feeling. Yu Wujue stretched out his hand and wrapped her somewhat cold hand in his palm, "It's just a pity, I knew it too late."

Ruan Fu smiled softly, "According to the old news in Yongjia, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was arrogant and flamboyant when he was a teenager, and he was not self-willed. If I had known earlier, I might not be able to get along with you like I do now."

Although he was smiling, there was unavoidable disgust in his tone.

Different experiences lead to different perspectives on things, just like the young Meng Ruan, facing Yu Wujue on the battlefield, he only has a firm determination to win.

Yu Wujue squinted her eyes, and said in a dangerous tone, "What did you say?"

Ruan Fu chuckled, since Dao Ming made his intentions clear, he didn't dare to offend this great god at some point, not to mention that he was still on his territory, he just smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I don't care about these things with you. Let’s submit the account books to His Majesty first, and then decide whether to send them to the Ministry of Punishment.”

How could Yu Wujue not know what she was thinking, and only raised his eyebrows to look at her.But seeing Ruan Fu treat Ruan Song so calmly, a certain decision in his heart became more firm.
