Chapter 111 The Emperor Is Just As Unimportant
Outside the Yuxi Palace, on the Taiye Lake.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness that swept ashore, bringing a touch of coolness to the people in the summer.

Yan Shaoting suddenly asked, "Lord Xu and Lord Gao, who do you think was the one who caused the gunshot outside the West Garden?"

"Of course it's the audacious traitor!"

Gao Gong glared and spoke angrily.

Lao Gao is just playing dumb.

Yan Shaoting glanced at Gao Gong, then turned to look at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "I think what Runwu said before the emperor is probably correct. This man must be dissatisfied with the imperial court."

Non-stick pan.

Yan Shaoting snorted in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Since Lord Xu also agrees, then I will investigate the court to find out who made that villain so dissatisfied that he committed such a treasonous act outside the West Garden."

Xu Jie's breath stagnated.

I actually fell into the trap!
Yan Shaoting had a smile on his face, his eyes were clear and bright, and his expression was innocent.

Without waiting for Xu Jie's non-stick pan to continue speaking.

Yan Shaoting said quietly, "It occurred to me that the false accounts in various departments must be related to the Ministry of Revenue. I happen to be a doctor in the Zhejiang Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue, so I will probably check the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue this time."

After saying this, Yan Shaoting did not give Lao Xu and Lao Gao time to react.

He bowed to the two of them politely.

"I have received the Emperor's order. I will take my leave first."

Finished.

Yan Shaoting turned around and left as Xu Jie and Gao Gong changed their expressions slightly, and waved to Lu Yi who was not far away.

The brothers got together.

Lu Yi looked seriously at Xu Jie and Gao Gong who were heading towards the imperial city, obviously going back to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Then he whispered, "What are these two old guys trying to do?"

Yan Shaoting glanced at Lu Yi and said, "Lord Xu and Lord Gao are both ministers of the cabinet. You should show them respect."

Lu Yi opened his mouth, thinking that he had not been very respectful to his second brother-in-law in the past.

At this time, Yan Shaoting said again: "At least be more respectful in your words."

Lu Yi opened his mouth, showing his big white teeth and smiling happily.

Then he bumped Yan Shaoting's shoulder with his shoulder.

"Second brother-in-law, please tell me quickly, what did our two elders say to you just now?"

Yan Shaoting restrained his expression and whispered, "I hope that when we investigate the gunshots in Xiyuan this time, we can slightly raise our hands to other people in the court, and only ask about the personnel involved in the case in the Military Equipment Bureau, the Saddle and Bridle Bureau, the Armory Bureau, and other departments and warehouses."

Lu Yi frowned slightly.

After Yan Shaoting explained it clearly, Lu Yi understood what Xu Jie and Gao Gong were thinking.

Naturally, they would not do so because they could not bear the turmoil in the court.

Instead, he didn't want Yan Shaoting and himself to use this incident to suppress or even implicate the officials under their command.

even.

What will happen to the safety of the emperor staying in the Western Garden?

None of them are considered.

Is the emperor important?
unimportant!
After all, that statement is absolutely correct.

The common people of the world have never cared whether the emperor, who is thousands of miles away, has been replaced.

Lu Yi chuckled and said sarcastically, "They are wishful thinking. I won't stop until I scrape a layer of flesh off their bodies this time!"

Yan Shaoting, however, frowned and thought.

He didn't care about what his brother-in-law said.

Shave off a layer of flesh from Lao Xu and Lao Gao?

This is not what I am thinking about now.

The key now is how to get some benefits from the imperial court.

The two men led the horses and walked out of Xi'an Gate.

Yan Shaoting looked up at his brother-in-law: "What exactly did you find out about today's incident?"

Lu Yi frowned and said, "Just as you said, we checked everything that could be checked. After the incident, the higher-ups in the government issued an order to control all the ministries and government offices. I took some people with me to get the accounts of the Arms Bureau, the Saddle and Bridle Bureau, and the Weaponry Bureau, and roughly checked them."

Yan Shaoting slowed down his pace.

Now, leaving aside the Taoist priest, the cabinet and the court at least will no longer regard the traitor who came out of nowhere as the most important issue.

unimportant!
Now the accounts of the Ministry of Works' Military Equipment Bureau, Saddle and Bridle Bureau, Imperial Household Equipment Bureau, and the treasury departments of various government offices are also in the hands of my brother-in-law.

This is the most important.

Yan Shaoting thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the accounts, and then send someone to keep an eye on Elder Xu, Elder Gao, and anyone else you think is suspicious."

"Are you keeping an eye on Xu Jie and Gao Gong? Are there any other suspicious people?"

Lu Yi stared and blinked.

Some bold associations began to appear in his mind.

Afterwards, Lu Yi seemed to have understood everything, and looked at Yan Shaoting with a surprised face: "Brother-in-law, you are not saying that this incident today was done by Lord Xu and his men? That's impossible...then they are really bold!"

This kid really didn't inherit any of his father-in-law's wisdom.

It's really a bold idea.

Yan Shaoting rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "I just had some conversations with Elder Xu and Elder Gao. Over the years, most of the people working in the various government offices of the court are their people. This time, His Majesty ordered you and me to investigate this matter thoroughly. Who knows, they might be in a panic and eager to deal with the whole thing, thus revealing some things that we didn't know in the past."

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have said in front of Lao Xu and Lao Gao that I wanted to check the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue.

Lu Yi's eyes were filled with admiration: "So, brother-in-law, you are playing a trick on them to alert the enemy and lure them out of their hole!" Yan Shaoting snorted twice, then said, "Don't worry about these things. After you leave the palace, go back to the government office and recall the people stationed in the various ministries and government offices, especially the Five Military Commandery."

"Why?"

Lu Yi feels that his brother-in-law is becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand, and he is increasingly unable to keep up with his thinking.

Yan Shaoting could only explain earnestly: "Sell good things to the Five Military Commanders' Office. Even if they don't have power now, it will still be beneficial to you. Ride over now and call them back in person."

Although I don’t understand what the benefit will be, this is what my second brother-in-law said.

Lu Yi nodded obediently, climbed onto the horse, said "Brother-in-law, be careful", and rode away.

Watching his brother-in-law leaving the palace, Yan Shaoting also got on the horse, but he did not hurry. He just let the horse slowly walk out of the palace.

"Who did this?"

Yan Shaoting muttered to himself.

This was the only thing he couldn't figure out today.

No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't figure out how this happened.

Although people like Lao Xu and Lao Gao didn't care much about who was sitting on the chair, they didn't have to do what Lu Yi wanted.

It is even more impossible for nobles.

As for the troops from various camps in the capital, seeing that there are only people from the Five Cities Army in the city today, we know that it could not have been done by the Beijing camp.

Then this matter becomes a nonsense.

Unable to figure out this problem, Yan Shaoting could only turn his attention to other things.

He couldn't help but think of the scene he encountered in the Ministry of Revenue when he went to the Ministry of Revenue a few days ago to prepare to report and perform his duties as a Langzhong of the Zhejiang Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue.

The two men seemed to be from Xuanfu Army and Jingying respectively.

Just when Yan Shaoting was thinking of Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang whom he had met at the Ministry of Revenue.

The warhorse under him had already carried him out of Xi'an Gate.

A powerful voice came to my ears.

"Mr. Yan, what a coincidence! I see you again."

On horseback, Yan Shaoting looked down.

Outside the palace gate, the Governor of Jingying and Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Huan were looking at him with a smile on their faces.

How is this a coincidence?

It is obvious that you, Marquis Zhenyuan, are waiting here.

Yan Shaoting smiled, got off the horse holding the reins, and bowed to Gu Huan.

"It turned out to be Lord Gu. What a coincidence."

Yan Shaoting looked at Zhenyuan Hou Gu Huan with a forced smile.

Facing Yan Shaoting, who hadn't pointed out the truth but had an ambiguous expression on his face, Gu Huan remained calm and said, "Today, an incident occurred in the Western Garden, but Yan Shidu was able to remain calm in the face of danger and entered the palace in armor to protect Your Majesty's safety. Such loyalty and bravery are not something that ordinary people can do. I admire you very much."

Yan Shaoting said calmly: "Lord Gu's words are too serious. I wonder if Lord Gu has anything else to say?"

Since Gu Huan intends to wait here, he, the governor in charge of military affairs in the Beijing camp, should be the one who should be anxious.

I think the reason why they are waiting here is probably because of the Beijing camp’s affairs.

Seeing Yan Shaoting act like he was in a hurry to leave, Gu Huan gave a few bitter smiles.

"Master Yan, please be patient. I do have something to discuss with you."

This is the attitude to discuss things.

Yan Shaoting turned around and looked at Gu Huan: "Just tell me, Lord Gu. I will definitely help you wherever I can."

Gu Huan waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't need the tutor to help. Last time, the tutor was in the Ministry of Revenue and happened to meet the useless lieutenant general of my Beijing camp who couldn't do his job. He helped him and saved the face of that guy and my Beijing camp. He has already made great efforts. My Beijing camp has not thanked the tutor yet."

"It's just a simple favor. Lord Gu, your words are too serious."

Yan Shaoting spoke calmly, but he was a little surprised that everyone came to thank him today.

In front were Zhu Xizhong’s three old masters, and now there is Zhenyuan Hou Gu Huan, the governor of the Beijing camp.

Gu Huan coughed lightly and looked around.

At this moment, there were only a few court officials outside Xi'an Gate, still waiting to see the emperor and confirm his safety.

Most people have begun to worry that Yan Shaoting, who holds the power to investigate cases, will suddenly chop their necks with the knife in his hand.

Seeing Gu Huan like this, Yan Shaoting just smiled slightly and led the horse out.

Gu Huan walked side by side.

"No one expected something like this to happen in Xiyuan today. But the tutor also saw it when he was in front of the emperor in Yuxi Palace just now.

Lord Xu and Lord Gao seemed to suspect that the person who committed such a heinous act today or the firearm came from our Beijing camp.

I hope you can understand this matter clearly. I still say that I can guarantee with my life that the Beijing camp is absolutely innocent. "

There is a person who cries out innocence.

Yan Shaoting turned his head and looked at Gu Huan, who had a solemn expression and was full of confidence.

He smiled and spread his hands.

"I naturally believe that Lord Gu and the brothers in the Beijing camp are innocent."

“But I’m afraid some people won’t believe it.”
