Su Guoyong could be said to have achieved a complete victory.
Although not every brothel would be able to find mysterious accounting records, other than Fragrance Pavillion, they did manage to find four. If these account books were all true, then it would be enough to accuse Donggong Palace of violating the rules and engaging in business!
Before returning to the Prince Xin’s Mansion, Su Guoyong took note of this matter and arranged two of his subordinates to keep an eye out outside the Fragrance Pavillion. After all, he had not obtained the second half of the Fragrance Pavillion, so he could not be careless.
Receiving the account book that Su Guoyong handed over, Chu Yiyun was somewhat unable to believe his own eyes, "This … Were they really searched from the brothels? "
Su Guoyong said excitedly: "Yes, your highness! This is the evidence of an illegal business in the Eastern Palace. Once you hand over this evidence, abandoned crown prince will never have the chance to return to the Eastern Palace! "
Chu Yiyun quickly looked through the ledger, and couldn't help but frown. His face slowly became cold: "This ledger didn't say that Eastern Palace was the one who accepted the dividends, so how can I accuse East Palace of violating the rules?"
Su Guoyong said: "In order to protect the abandoned crown prince, they naturally do not dare to write in the books that says that the person who receives the dividends is the Eastern Palace. With the severe punishment from the Justice Division, who would be afraid that the mother of the brothel would not accept him? "
What Su Guoyong said made sense.
Chu Yiyun held onto the account book, he sat down quietly, his heart hesitating.
If one were to say whether or not Chu Yizhao had the heart to return to the Eastern Palace sect, it was likely that no one had the heart to stop him. But what if this was a trap?
"Prince, are you worried that the Eastern Palace would falsely accuse us if we don't find out the evidence?" Su Guoyong asked.
Of course! If this was a trap set up by the Eastern Palace, then everything he had done before would have been for naught! Chu Yiyun remained silent, "Let's talk after your brother comes back."
"Where's my brother?" Su Guoyong was startled.
"I ordered him to check the Gambling House."
"Oh!" Su Guoyong laughed, and gave Chu Yiyun a big thumbs up, "The king is so thoughtful, how could I forget about the Gambling House!"
"It's even more important to clearly investigate the matter of the Fragrance Pavillion." Chu Yiyun did not forget to give Su Guoyong some confirmation as well.
Su Guogang had basically returned from the beginning to the end, so he had reported to Chu Yiyun, "My prince, the entire city's Gambling House has been investigated, and is not as exaggerated as the rumors claimed, but there are three families of Gambling House that do have some secret connections with the Prince Qi Palace."
"Oh?" Chu Yiyun immediately became spirited and sat up straight, "Hurry and say it!"
Su Guogang said, "When the other Gambling House s heard the reason for this subordinate's visit, they all flatly denied their relationship with the Prince Qi's Palace, and informed this subordinate of an important person who was providing convenience for them. It was merely a few constables in the yamen, and only the masters of the three Gambling House s denied that there was someone behind them, and they also brought up the matter of the Prince Qi with panicked expressions, which was extremely unnatural. This subordinate suspected that there was something wrong, and sure enough, after careful investigation, these three Gambling House s families were all innocent, and did not rely on any other party's connections.
Chu Yiyun slowly frowned, "There's no use in guessing, is there any more valuable evidence?"
"Yes!" Su Guogang smiled, "This subordinate caught an assistant from one of the Gambling House, and the assistant admitted that he had seen someone from the Prince Qi Palace come to the Gambling House before. He also said that he saw the owner of the Gambling House give the money to the person from the Prince Qi Palace to take away, and if he was to identify someone from the Prince Qi Palace, he would definitely recognize him."
"Really?" A smile finally surfaced on Chu Yiyun's forehead. "So that means, the rumors of Gambling House are true?"
"It must be true." Su Guogang smiled and said, "Otherwise, why would the Prince Qi use so much silver from when she came back from the dead to curry favor with the Princess Qi? Although the majority of Princess Qi was used to provide relief to the victims, according to my sister, the Prince Qi had still privately compensated the Princess Qi with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. The Princess Qi was also very well-fed, and the silver was directly given to the Princess Qi by the Prince Qi, not extracted from the accounts room. In those two months, the monthly rate of use in Prince Qi Palace was not even as great as that used by Princess Qi alone. "
"Could it be that he really dares to go against the Imperial Family's law?"
"If it was in consideration of the imperial decree, Prince Qi wouldn't dare to endure it for so many years! Previously, no one was able to tell that he had this kind of scheming and courage! "
Chu Yiyun looked up and glanced at Su Guogang, and then glanced at Su Guoyong, "Do you guys think that the rumors are true? Is there a problem with both of them? "
"I'm afraid so, Your Highness!" The two brothers said in unison.
But why was his heart so unsettled?
Chu Yiyun frowned, and leaned back in his chair. At this moment, his mind was working rapidly, trying to decide whether this was beneficial to him or harmful to him.
At this time, one of Su Guoyong's remaining subordinates returned. After bowing to Chu Yiyun, he turned to Su Guoyong and reported, "Reporting to Second Master, not long after Second Master left, a few mysterious people suddenly came over from the Fragrance Pavillion and went straight to the accounts room. This subordinate shall be careful to find out that those people requested the account office to destroy some sort of account book. The fat accountant said there weren't any books. Those people were so angry that they almost tore him apart. Only after making a ruckus for a while did they finally leave. "Your subordinate became more cautious and followed behind these people. Later on, I realized that they had gone to another four brothels and were also heading towards the accounting office. It seems like they also wanted to destroy some account books."
"Really?" Su Guoyong was both surprised and happy. "Are those people from the Eastern Palace? They want to destroy the evidence? "
"Which four brothels did they go to?" Chu Yiyun asked.
"Reporting to Your Highness, they've gone to the four brothels where Second Master found the account books."
Su Guoyong was stunned!
After a long while, he regained his senses, and turned to look at Chu Yiyun in surprise and joy, "My lord, it seems that this is the Eastern Palace without a doubt! They must have thought that the brothel might have their bonus books, so they must destroy the evidence! "
Chu Yiyun exhaled a long breath, and his perturbed heart was finally relieved. He smiled and leaned back in his chair. That's right, Su Guoyong was probably right!
So this is not a trap? Is that true?
Was the rumor circulating in the Ji City true today? including rumors of Chu Yixuan participating in Gambling House?
Su Guoyong looked at Chu Yiyun happily, then looked at Su Guogang, "Your Highness, Big Brother! Now that it had finally been verified, it was indeed very gratifying! Fortunately, we got the account book a step earlier. Otherwise, if the evidence was destroyed, wouldn't we be able to regret it then? "
Su Guogang laughed: "I really didn't expect that the emperor's eldest son and third son would both violate the imperial law. This time, even if His Majesty wanted to shield them, there was no other way! Your Highness, this will benefit us greatly! "
"That's right, Your Highness," Su Guoyong said hurriedly, "Should we hand over the proof to the Justice Division?"
"No!" Chu Yiyun waved his hand.
The two Su Family brothers were stunned.
Chu Yiyun said: "Of course we have to hand over the evidence, but be careful. How about this, you guys think of ways to send your evidence to the Justice Division, and never reveal your identities, so as to not let others know that we want to frame the Eastern Palace and Prince Qi Palace. "
Su Guoyong happily agreed: Right, right, let's just quietly wait for Jia Yin!
Chu Yiyun stood up, patted the shoulders of the two, and said solemnly: "The two of you have worked hard today! Coming to the Eastern Palace to take over the throne of the Japanese Emperor, would definitely cause the Su Family to be reversed, and at that time, all the great grudges will be avenged, even the promotion of official status would not be a problem, we will share all the glory and wealth! "
Su Guogang and the Su Guoyong brothers looked at each other, happily saluted Chu Yiyun and said: "Everything depends on Your Highness!"
Chu Yiyun nodded in satisfaction. This time, he finally had hope to enter the Eastern Palace!
He, Chu Yiyun, had endured for many years.
— —
However, it was too early for Chu Yiyun to be happy.
At the same time, the Crown’s Master's Xu Mansion revealed a satisfied smile on Qi Yu's face. "This time, the big fish got hooked.
Xu Chang's face did not reveal the joy of victory, he slightly frowned, and looked at Qi Yu: Everything is settled, could Little Zhi introduce your friend to father?
Qi Yu waved her hand, "Now is not the time, Father, do not be anxious. Sooner or later you will know him. "
"What relationship does he have with you?"
"It's a very close relationship. Father, don't ask anymore. You should tell me when I should make a move on my mother instead, right? "
Xu Chang's expression froze for a moment. After a while, he returned to normal and stroked his beard: "No rush, save Prince Qi first."
"Then, did father think about his ending?" Qi Yu stared at Xu Chang and asked.
If he wanted to take revenge, Xu Chang should at least reveal his own position. Otherwise, how would he get the pleasure of taking revenge? However, if he admitted that all of this was planned by him, and was just to make her and Chu Zhe suffer, then, would he still be able to live?
How dare he hurt the emperor's beloved concubine?
Xu Chang slowly stood up, "I will tell you what to do when the time comes. Do not act rashly until you have my orders. "
"Oh!" Qi Yu nodded her head, but she was suspicious in her heart, why did the old man change her mind? It was also because he was reluctant to make a move on the woman he loved the most?
The Justice Division at night, the guards on duty, were walking back and forth vigilantly, paying attention to everything in sight around them.
Suddenly, a package fell from the sky with a thud, smashing into the corridor beneath the eaves.
"Who is it?" The guards on duty let out a loud shout and pounced over.
Four of them drew their swords and aimed them at the bag. The rest of them jumped onto the rooftop in search of the assassin's trail.
The other four looked at the bags on the ground: "What, what is this?"
One of them shouted, "Regardless of what it is, in order to guard against danger, destroy it immediately!"
"Yes!" The other three immediately raised their swords and pierced towards the bag!
What? Su Guoyong who was still hiding in the darkness was shocked, he did not even look at what had happened and wanted to destroy everything?
How could this be okay? This was evidence that they had collected with great effort!
Just as Su Guoyong was about to jump down to stop him, he saw a huge net flying towards him and the two of his subordinates.
