"Here you are." Luo qingluan said hello first.

Su Yi just looked at Nangong Qing and smiled without talking.

"Yes, it's just the morning. Today, these ministers have a lot to do and have been delayed for a while, but it doesn't matter. I've postponed all the things in the morning. Grandpa sun will help us." Nangong Qing came in and saw Nalan night and Nangong Yu in the hall.

"Ziqing, long time no see." Nangong Qing was very moved.

"It's OK. I think you've had a good time in recent years." Rare, Nalan night also joked.

Nangong Qing nodded and knew that the matter was urgent. After a few people simply greeted each other face to face, they entered the theme.

"You all know your intention. You don't say much. Let's go in now and talk about anything in there." Nangong Yu proposed.

"Well, good." Nalan night several people nodded one after another.

With that, Luo qingluan also went inside. As Nangong Qing came to the imperial study, Su Yi knew they had something important to talk about. She cooperated with them to watch outside, taking care of several children while playing, while grandpa sun waited outside and waited on the queen.

In the imperial library, Nalan night put all the materials prepared in advance on the table, and the four people surrounded a table.

"I don't know the situation. Who will explain it first." Nangong Qing said while watching, hurry up.

"OK, look at this first."

Several people quickly and evenly scattered the data in their hands. Nangong Qing took the lead in taking a copy and looked at it.

This is a long list of suspects, which involves Nalan night during the Chinese New Year. They secretly collected suspects from various channels in the night hall, including officials, etiquette department, household department, work department and so on

"These?" Nangong Qing was a little stunned at first glance.

After Nalan looked at it at night, Tell the story: "Originally, this was just a tribute theft case. Leng Li was responsible for the investigation of this case. He began to investigate this gang last year. He explained it in simple terms and followed it several times before and after. At the beginning of last year, they robbed the tribute for the first time on Wuyang official Road and then fled. There was no trace on the scene, which made the case at an impasse."

"Later, after many inquiries, he only found a little clue. Later, every time the tribute came up, he asked to arrange more people to escort it. However, it was five months from the first time to the second time, so the people at the bottom relaxed and were caught off guard the second time."

Nangong Qing was depressed. Was there any tribute stolen at the beginning of last year: "why didn't I know? When was the tribute stolen last year? Which country did the tribute at the beginning of last year?"

His whole state of being at a loss was like being kept in the dark. He was stunned to hear Nalan night say so.

"It was sent up by the small neighboring countries and Xilan country."

Nalan night carefully checked the tributes robbed each time and found that the other party seemed to have planned, but he found that the beginning of the year before should be their first attempt, so he chose this small country. Because even if the tribute was robbed, Xichu said that their things were robbed on the way, and the other party had no way.

But things are different now. After a year's experience last year, the tribute lost last month came from Dongwan. Dongwan is not a small country like Xilan. Nalan looked at him at night

We are really brave and fat now, and we have been so cruel to lengli.

If you don't do it again, this group of people will grow stronger and stronger! At that time, the tumor will become bigger and bigger. I'm afraid it will bleed when cut.

"How can these people get in touch with the officials in our court? Who gave them the courage to do such a thing!"

Nangong Qing was very angry. It seems that some people in the imperial court have begun to itch and can't sit still. After so many years of calm, are they going to start doing things?

"The people at the bottom protect each other and enrich their own pockets. This is basically something that every dynasty has to experience. Some people are poisonous roots left from the previous dynasty, and some are new tumors. Anyway, now that they have come to Beijing this time, it proves that this matter is not a simple theft, but about our western Chu national fortune. Do you know how lengli is now "Is that right?"

Nalan night hasn't told them about the cold departure.

"What happened to him?" Nangong Qing asked.

"At the end of the year, he was seriously injured and one leg almost lost. Fortunately, qingluan treated him in time and recovered his life. However, he still has difficulty in moving, so he didn't enter the palace today. I let him stay in the king's house of Chu."

"Is his leg badly hurt?" Nangong Yu frowned. He naturally remembered Nalan night, the second younger martial brother.

"It's no big deal now, but we still have to cultivate ourselves. If we hurry, we can recover in another month." Luo qingluan said with a heavy face.

"Yes, Leng Li's injury has always been the responsibility of qingluan. It's good to have her this time, otherwise Leng Li's leg doesn't know what it is."

When lengli was injured by the other party, Nalan night was also present. At that time, he was besieged by many people and could not save lengli at all. As a result, his muscles and veins were damaged and it was difficult for ordinary doctors to treat him. At that time, he didn't know whether Luo qingluan could be cured, but he had no choice but to send him back to Nalan house first. Fortunately, he was right.

"Damn, did you find the man who hurt lengli?" Nangong Qing's hand became a fist.

Unexpectedly, unconsciously, someone formed a great force under his eyes. These people colluded with officials and businessmen and made the idea of tribute.

Nalan night was just angry. With the power of the dark night hall, it was a shame that they hadn't found this man for so long.

"Every time we want to find some news, the news will always break. The other party seems to know us well and know the power of the government like the back of his hand, so we suspect that the other party has something to do with the government. Unexpectedly, this investigation found the capital. The last time I fought with the other party was the end of the year. Later, he was injured because of lengli, and the other party stopped because of his success Activities, so we also saved our energy and found this list at the end of the year. "

Nangong Qing opened the list again and looked at it carefully. He found that many of the people on it were strange faces, and some didn't know at all and didn't know when to take office.

"It seems that they are all new people, only a few of them know. The chamberlains and Shangshu of these films are old people. They have been with me for so long. I can tell whether they are loyal or traitor, but they all appear in the suspicious range, which makes me..."

Nangong Qing is very contradictory. It's really hard to judge who is most likely to do this in his heart.

"You can't judge a man by his appearance. It's just a preliminary idea

No doubt, I've listed all the suspicious people. It's not that they are all involved in the case. Maybe we just think too much. Of course, I don't want anyone on this list to have anything to do with the gang of thieves. After all, they are the ministers of Western Chu, but we'd rather be careful than let go of the black hands behind the scenes. "

"There are three purposes for me to come here today. One is to tell you about this. The second is to ask you to exclude suspects and narrow the scope of investigation. The third is to discuss specific implementation plans. In the next time, I will arrange someone to conduct in-depth investigation and handle this matter in the shortest time." Nalan night said.

Then Nangong Qing and Nangong Yu discussed the names on the list one by one, screened everyone's personal network from election to taking office, from family to social background, and finally narrowed the scope of investigation from more than 100 to 20. Finally, Nalan night determined the list of key personnel to be investigated next.

"In that case, then I'll allocate some people from Dali temple and the Ministry of punishment to you. It's more convenient to review at that time." Nangong Qing gave him privilege directly.

"I'm not suitable for commanding these people. I'll give them to Yu. His command is more convenient than mine, but now it's not the time to scare the snake. We have to lead the snake out of the cave when necessary, so you can carry out a new wave of self-examination on the opening of the new year and let Yu cooperate with you on the open. In addition, I'll start in the dark and work both ways. In less than a month, I will be able to do it Let the thieves fall into the net. "

Nalan night already had a plan in mind. Several people discussed it in the imperial library for nearly three hours. Seeing that a morning had passed, Su Yi was waiting outside in a hurry.

I don't know how the discussion is going. She really wants to go in and have a look, but there is an endless stream of people coming to her every day. Today, I deliberately claimed that I was ill to avoid these people's greetings. Unexpectedly, they came more often. They all said they would come to visit her, and she was stopped one by one.

In order not to let people know Luo qingluan, they all talked secretly in the imperial study.

Just thinking, several people opened the door and came out.

"The air outside is better. I feel like I'm alive." Nangong Yu couldn't stay in the imperial study. There were too many cases and too many details. He was more tired than the previous dynasty.

"Look at your promise. Fortunately, I'm making a long story short. If you really talk about the details, you can't finish it for three days and three nights. Your fragile little life will be left here today."

Nalan night really felt that he had died and talked the most in the shortest time. For such a long time, he felt that he talked a lot today. Fortunately, when he couldn't finish speaking, Luo qingluan could go on talking. He really let him finish all the things alone. He was really a little tired.

"Cut, don't you hold it?" Nangong Yu didn't believe him. "Who didn't catch a few breaths just now?"

"It's me. What's the matter?" Nalan night refused, "who told you to go down for so long without a pot of water, which made my mouth dry."

When Su Yi heard a noise here, she hurried over. Several children had already had lunch. When they were tired of playing, she asked the palace people to get them food.

"Come out." Suyi greeted with relief: "eat something and drink some water. It's all ready for you. I'm afraid you'll be hungry and thirsty when you come out. It's true."
