Chapter 21 Let the wealthy boss investigate the way of meditation
As Fei Jie fled Danzhou City with the Inspection Institute in a panic overnight, Danzhou was officially declared to have fallen.

This drama in Tanzhou directed by Zuowang Dao and the Joyful Sect has come to a temporary end.

After the news spread for a long time the next day, the people in the whole city were fooled, which naturally produced a huge amount of [Non-Gang] and [Joy]. As the initiators, both the Zuowang Dao and the Joy Cult were almost overwhelmed.

Especially Xu Wenhe and Li Chenzhou, the two of them were almost grinning from ear to ear.

However, the two of them were secretly happy about getting the advantage.

However, there was turmoil in the capital of Nanqing.

……

What happened in Danzhou.

An express letter arrived directly at the capital of Nanqing over an 800-mile journey. In less than an hour, it shocked the entire capital.

And at this time in the Imperial Palace.

Snapped!
The urgent report from eight hundred miles away, along with Fei Jie’s secret report about a traitor from the Zuowang Sect in the Inspection Office, were thrown heavily to the ground.

“Danzhou is so big, but it was conquered by Zuowang Dao overnight. What on earth is the job of the prefect Yang Yi? And what about the Inspection Office, what on earth is going on with the false secret order?” Emperor Qing put his hands on his waist and scanned the entire room, his chest heaving. His cold voice was filled with anger that had nowhere to vent.

The ambush of the Black Cavalry and Red Armored Group two days ago had already made this emperor furious, but now the ambush of the Black Cavalry and Red Armored Group had not been resolved yet, and instead, Danzhou was lost first. One can imagine how angry he was.

Eunuch Hou was an old man in the palace and had served Emperor Qing for many years, but this was the first time he saw Emperor Qing so angry. He was so scared that he knelt on the ground and almost buried his head in the dirt. Even Eunuch Hou was like this, the other eunuchs didn’t even dare to breathe.

Of course, it’s not just the eunuchs!

Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, who were urgently summoned to the palace, were very reluctant to run into this bad luck at this moment, but they had followed Emperor Qing for many years and were familiar with the emperor’s character. They knew clearly that saying nothing at this time would only make the situation more difficult.

Because what Emperor Qing needs now is a loyal minister who is not afraid of death and a capable minister who can solve problems, rather than a group of fence-sitters who are only concerned with protecting themselves.

“Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold Yang Yi accountable. The most urgent task should be to investigate the Inspection Institute, find out the true strength of Zuowang Dao in Danzhou, and then quickly dispatch troops to quell the rebellion!” Chen Pingping lowered his head and faced the screen, giving his suggestions from an intelligence perspective.

“Yes, the first priority is to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. As the saying goes, food and fodder must be sent before troops move. You can order the Ministry of Revenue to immediately allocate money and food as military supplies for the rebellion!” Fan Jian was also unambiguous and took the opportunity to bring up the issue of allocating money and food to quell the rebellion.

One of the two close confidants suggested gathering intelligence, while the other suggested preparing military supplies immediately. Obviously, both were pragmatic.

Military supplies and intelligence are undoubtedly urgently needed to suppress the rebellion, but the problem lies precisely with these two things.

“Find out the true strength of Zuowang Dao in Danzhou? How to find out? Zuowang Dao has extended his hand into your Inspection Institute. How can you guarantee that the information you find out is true?” Emperor Qing turned around and looked at him with a cold look.

“Also, over the years, Northern Qi in the north has been ready to make a move, the Joy Cult in the southeast has never stopped, and the Zuowang Dao in the west has closed the gates again this year. Now the warehouses of the Ministry of Households are so clean that rats can escape them. Where can we get the military supplies to quell the rebellion?” Emperor Qing asked coldly.

Following Emperor Qing’s questioning, the air in the gloomy hall seemed to become even colder.

Eunuch Hou buried his head even lower.

An extremely realistic problem lies before them. As the two pillars of Nanqing, Chen Pingping and Fan Jian are also a bit troubled.

Do not misunderstand!
It’s not that the two of them don’t know what Emperor Qing said. In fact, as important officials in the court, they know it better than anyone else.

But there are some things that cannot be said!

For example, Nanqing has been using troops for years, which has resulted in the Ministry of Revenue’s warehouse being so clean that rats can escape, but where did the money go? Could Fan Jian directly tell Emperor Qing that your eldest princess Li Yunrui is in charge of the inner treasury, but the income is getting worse year by year?

Or should you tell Emperor Qing that your two sons have been constantly winning over court officials and cultivating confidants in order to compete for that position, and for this purpose, they have been spending a lot of money every day?

Also, the inheritance left by Ye Qingmei was divided up by the royal family. Where did it go now?
Hey!

If Fan Jian dared to say it, he would have to go back to Danzhou the next day, and he might even encounter horse thieves on the way!

As for the matter of there being a traitor in the Inspection Institute, it is even funnier.

Chen Pingping also has something to say. Why did the Inspection Institute leak information? It’s because your eldest son is keeping an eye on the Inspection Institute every day and is always thinking about placing his own confidants there.

The most outrageous thing is that this time there was an insider in the Inspection Institute who falsely passed on the secret order. After a preliminary screening, Chen Pingping was shocked to find that this matter actually had an unclear relationship with the royal family.

In other words, the people who assisted Zuowang Dao in passing on the false secret order were actually the royal family’s confidants.

Damn it!
Chen Pingping was almost speechless!
If possible, he really wanted to take the Black Cavalry to capture Emperor Qing’s two stupid sons and the woman Li Yunrui and interrogate them thoroughly to ask them whether they had joined the Zuowang Dao!
But is it possible to do this?
Obviously not!

Not to mention that the person has disappeared without a trace, even if there is sufficient evidence, Chen Pingping will not touch anyone from the royal family without the emperor’s nod!

This isn’t even the most ridiculous thing!

The most ridiculous thing is that Emperor Qing clearly knew all about these things, but he just turned a blind eye!

Until now something happened!
The fall of Danzhou indirectly led to the empty treasury and the leak in the Inspection Office. These two things had to be exposed. Now the money was taken by your royal family, and the people were also planted by your royal family. The emperor said this again, which was really shameless. “Your Majesty, regarding the ghost in the Inspection Office, after my preliminary screening, I found that it seems to be related to the palace. This… I really don’t know whether I should investigate it further. Please let your majesty know!” Chen Pingping was also a person with a temper. Faced with shameless accusations, he simply acted willfully.

“…”Fan Jian was stunned for a moment.

When Eunuch Hou, who was lying on the ground, heard these words, his body began to tremble like a sieve!
Even Emperor Qing, who was behind the screen, was slightly surprised.

I was stunned for a few seconds.

“It is related to the palace, Chen Pingping. Do you mean that there are people in the palace who practice the Zuowang Dao?” Emperor Qing asked.

“Your Majesty, it’s not clear for now. However, although the person who falsely passed the secret order has disappeared, it seems that he did have secret dealings with the palace!” Chen Pingping answered truthfully.

“Ha, they can even infiltrate the palace silently, what a good method, the Zuowang Dao is really a good method!” Emperor Qing was furious.

This is not as simple as just slapping Emperor Qing in the face.

The Zuowang Dao was able to infiltrate the palace and had already posed a real threat to Emperor Qing’s personal safety.

This undoubtedly touched Emperor Qing’s sore spot.

“Investigate, investigate, no matter who it is, investigate and find him out!” Emperor Qing ordered coldly.

“But Your Majesty, the Inspection Office may not be trustworthy. How should we investigate it?” Chen Pingping asked again.

“Then let Fan Xian go. He is the Commissioner of the Inspection Institute and has no connection with the Inspection Institute before. He is the best candidate!”

“what?”

Fan Jian and Chen Pingping never expected that suddenly, this matter would be related to Fan Xian. They were stunned for a moment because this matter was outrageous.

Don’t wait to speak!
Emperor Qing spoke first, “The Ministry of Revenue should prepare to quell the rebellion. Also, send Fan Xian to the capital immediately. In addition to investigating the traitor in the Inspection Office, I will grant him a marriage with Wan’er, so that he can legitimately take over the inner treasury. Then, let him make money. With money, state affairs will be easier!”

“…”

Fan Jian and Chen Pingping were both stunned.

At this critical juncture, not only was Fan Xian sent to investigate the case, he was also granted a marriage, and was allowed to take over the inner treasury, while also being in charge of the procuratorate’s thorough investigation of the traitor.

With Fan Jian’s cleverness, he could see at a glance that this was clearly an attempt to push Fan Xian into the fire pit.

Not to mention that taking over the inner treasury would offend the eldest princess and the crown prince.

Just the traitor from Zuowang Dao who was investigating the Inspection Institute.

What a joke!
That person is from Zuowang Dao, and he has infiltrated the upper echelons of the Inspection Institute and has connections with the palace. Is it so easy to track down the person who falsely passed the secret order?

The most outrageous thing is!

Fan Xian has not yet been cleared of the suspicion of being the wealthy boss of Zuwang Dao.

Now he is asked to investigate the traitor who has infiltrated Zuwang Dao!
Nima!

What the hell is this!

Fan Jian and Chen Pingping were both confused, so they looked at the screen in a daze.

“Okay, it’s settled. Send Fan Xian to Beijing immediately to thoroughly investigate the traitor in the Inspection Institute. Everyone, leave!” Emperor Qing waved his hand impatiently without any explanation and ordered them to leave.

……

Not long after that!

He quickly left Kyoto with the letter of Emperor Qing’s order and headed straight for Danzhou.

Wait for the order to arrive.

“Nimma, I haven’t been cleared of the suspicion of being a rich man yet, and now you want me to investigate Zuowang Dao, what the hell!”

Fan Xian almost fainted!

Others feel dizzy too!

Only Fei Jie’s hair stood on end!
