After Xin Ran and Chen Ming return to Gao Yifei's residence from the prince's East Palace, Gao Yifei is waiting for them. They sit down in their study. Gao Yifei asks them about their visit to Li Yuanyi's residence and the prince's residence.
Xin Ran told Gao Yifei in detail.
After hearing this, Gao Yifei said, "according to what you have said, it can be judged that Mr. Chen was wronged this time. It should not be the prince's intentional act, just for fear that he was used by others. But who is doing this? "
"My elder brother is very cautious when he is an official in the imperial court. Besides, the Ministry of rites where he works is a Qingshui yamen, and he has no great power. So I don't see him offend anyone on weekdays." Chen Ming said.
Xin Ran then said: "on the way back, I carefully thought about the whole thing and thought it was very suspicious."
"Oh, which link is questionable?" They asked.
When Xin Ran saw that they asked him, he said, "this case was handled by Dali temple. One of the important details is that after receiving the emperor's edict, Dali Temple immediately went to search Chen Shixiong's residence, and then found a large number of treasures. It gives people the feeling that Dali Temple seems to know in advance that Chen Shixiong's family has treasures there."
"This man is Shi Mi Yuan's servant. He's one of the four people in Shijiyuan's temple. Moreover, I heard Zhao Yun, king of Yi, say a few days ago that recently, Lord Chen Wenduan presented a memorial to the emperor, revealing that he had released the felon without permission. When the emperor knew about it, Long Yan was furious and wanted to dismiss him. It was only because Shi Miyuan pleaded for him that he was retained. " Gao Yifei said.
Xin Ran said: "that's clear. In all probability, Xue Ji and Shi Miyuan secretly planned to use his Royal Highness the crown prince of the east palace to frame brother Chen. But this is only our guess. At present, there is no evidence."
"In this case, one is to find the person who imitated the handwriting of brother Chen for Xue Ji and who put the letter in the East Palace, and how the treasures were put into brother Chen's residence. If we follow these two clues, there will be a breakthrough. Headmaster Xue of Lin'an branch of the beggars' sect is very familiar with all kinds of people in Lin'an. I think I will go to headmaster Xue tomorrow morning and ask him to investigate this matter in detail. I'm afraid it's hard to find out the reason for these treasures for a while. It's better to go to Xue Ji's place at night to find out some clues. " Gao Yifei said.
Xin Ran listened to Gao Yifei and said, "it's still Gao Shixiong's arrangement. Let's do it like this."
The three have finished their discussion. Because it's too late, they plan to go to Xue Ji tomorrow night to inquire about the news, so they have a rest.
"It's not that this man colluded with the kingdom of Jin and collected a lot of gold and silver before he was sent to heaven. How could you do that? "Asked Mrs. Xue Ji.
Xue Ji laughed and said, "what do you know? There is such a coincidence. You think your prime minister is a detective. I sent someone to put those treasures there. Otherwise, how can I know there are treasures there. "
hearing this, Chen Ming can't help but get angry and wants to draw his sword to kill this man. When Xin Ran sees it, he stops it in a hurry. Then he pulls Chen Ming away from Xue Ji's residence.
Back at Gao Yifei's residence, Chen Ming asks why Xin Ran stopped him from killing Xue Ji.
Xin Ran said: "I also want to kill this man immediately, but you know that this man is the culprit who framed your brother. If he died suddenly now, it would be difficult to redress the injustice of brother Chen. According to the opinion of brother Yu, let's see the result of the investigation by the beggars' sect. "
Chen Ming always has great respect for Xin Ran. When he heard Xin Ran say that, he said nothing more.
At noon of the day, Gao Yifei and Xin Ran came in with a man in a hurry.
Gao Yifei said to Xin Ran and Chen Ming, "it's still master Xue who has great powers. Sure enough, he has found out the clue. Let master Xue tell you in detail. "
" thank you very much for troubling commander Xue again. "Xin Ran said to Xue Ren when he heard Gao Yifei finish.
Xue Ren said: "don't mention it. My brother should play for me. "
after that, he went on to say," after brother Gao came to me, I started the beggars' sect's disciples in Lin'an to inquire about it everywhere. As a result, I found out that shenbi Liu was the best at imitating handwriting in Lin'an. Moreover, I found out that he was a poor man. Recently, he was very generous and suspicious, as if he had made a fortune. So we arrested him, When asked, someone asked him to write such a letter to frame Mr. Chen recently. And when we were about to leave, someone tried to kill him, so Liu was very afraid and begged us to protect her. He also expressed his willingness to testify. "
Xin Ran was very happy to hear that, and told them what he had heard in Xue Fu last night.
Gao Yifei said: "in this way, our original judgment is right. It should be Xue Ji's revenge on Chen Shixiong. Now that we have the evidence, it's easy to do. We can go directly to the prince, explain the situation and let the prince decide for us. “
