After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 119 Prince's Order

I looked at other information and found nothing useful.

After receiving four million taels of silver from Xunxian Tower, he left Xunxian Tower and returned to the inn.

After dinner, Yuanman took Yuanbao to play in the yard for a while, then washed up and went to rest.

She didn't get any useful information in Xunxian Tower, so she didn't tell Hui Chengyuan.

Hui Chengyuan waited until they fell asleep before leaving the inn and heading towards the Xizhou government office with a group of people.

Ling Yang just received a letter saying that someone wanted to destroy the body. The other party received the letter so quickly, which means that the other party’s people are among the government officials or those involved in the investigation.

"Seal off the government office and conduct a strict investigation in Xizhou." Hui Chengyuan said and walked into the Xizhou government office.

When he saw the burnt body, his face turned ugly.

Upon seeing this, Ling Yang immediately whispered, "These are fake. I replaced the unclaimed bodies in the charity cemetery with the real ones. I put the real ones in another charity cemetery."

Hui Chengyuan looked at him and said, "Search the whole city and make sure to catch the arsonist."

After everyone who followed in had left, he looked at Ling Kong and said, "Search secretly for people with wounds on their hands. Look among those who are close to the Lou family. Unless the person's internal strength is very strong, piercing the skull with a needle will definitely leave a needle hole on the person's hand."

Lingkong immediately bowed and left.

Hui Chengyuan looked around and then saw a small piece of cloth hanging on the window frame. Although part of it was burnt, it was still clear that it was the cloth for the clothes of the constables in the government office.

Gu Cheng followed his line of sight and also saw the piece of cloth. He walked forward, pulled it off, took a look at it and said, "I'll arrange for someone to check it out." After saying that, he walked out.

Hui Chengyuan was left alone standing in the burnt-out morgue.

Hui Chengyuan looked around, confirmed that there was nothing, and then turned and left.

As soon as he left, someone sneaked in, searched carefully, and then left.

The prefect of Xizhou is a direct descendant of the Lou family, so after the Lou family was imprisoned, he would naturally be imprisoned with the Lou family.

Now the post of Xizhou prefect is vacant, and there is no one else in the government office except the soldiers.

Hui Chengyuan went to the study room where the prefect worked in the government office. It was obvious that the room had been searched, and things were a bit messy.

Hui Chengyuan didn't look at the books on the bookshelf or the paintings on the wall, but looked at the lamp in the corner. Although there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, the fact that it was placed in the corner was wrong.

Hui Chengyuan walked over, looked under the lamp stand, and then carefully looked at the pattern under the lamp base. It was indeed very smooth.

Touch the patterns and gently turn to the left.

There was a clicking sound, and a floor tile next to the chair behind the desk sank.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen just happened to come over and ran in when he heard his voice.

When he saw the dark entrance, the corner of his eye twitched. He had been in and out of this study more than ten times, so how come he didn't notice that there was a dark room here!

Sure enough, the prince is still the prince.

"Do you need me to call some more people?"

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "You stay up there, I'll go down and take a look."

"Or, I'll go down." Gu Chen looked at him and said.

Hui Chengyuan looked at him and said, "You haven't even found this secret room. You go down, I have to go down again."

Gu Cheng: “…”

Hui Chengyuan took a candle, lit it, and walked in, but disappeared at the entrance after a while.

Gu Cheng looked down and could only see a little candlelight disappearing.

Unexpectedly, it was quite big down there.

Hui Chengyuan walked along the passage for nearly three or four hundred meters before he reached a dark room and saw what was inside.

It turns out that the big money is here. No wonder my father said that he didn’t receive much silver. The gold and silver in this room are estimated to be several million taels.

I walked a little further inside and saw many treasures and two wooden boxes on the antique display shelf in the corner.

Hui Chengyuan lifted the lid with a piece of silver, and his eyes narrowed when he saw what was inside.

The prince's order and a golden medal of immunity from death.

Since the founding of the country, my father has only bestowed two golden medals of immunity from death, one in A'li's hands, and the other in the hands of his good friend Tang Zhili.

The piece in A'li's hand cannot be here, so this piece must be the one in Tang Zhili's hand.

But Tang Zhili was in Beizhou, thousands of miles away, so how did he get involved?

Hui Chengyuan took out the prince's order and the golden medal of immunity from death, and opened another wooden box, which contained the account book.

He took a piece of cloth, wrapped the wooden box containing the account book, and held it directly in his hand.

Then he looked around and found that there was nothing else except gold, silver, jade and treasures. Then he turned and walked towards the exit.

Gu Cheng saw him carrying something out and immediately went up to him and asked, "Did you find something good?"

Hui Chengyuan nodded and said, "Let Ling Yang arrange for his personal guards to register and pack all the things inside and send them to Yuanlai Inn."

Gu Cheng glanced at the dark hole and asked, "What else is inside?"

"You can go in and take a look." Hui Chengyuan said, walked towards the lamp, closed the door of the darkroom, and then left the study.

Gu Cheng followed him all the way back to Yuanlai Inn.

Hui Chengyuan glanced at him and went back to his room to rest.

The next day, after Yuanman had breakfast, she wanted to take Yuanbao to Qinghan Academy, but Hui Chengyuan pulled her back to the backyard and started looking at the account book.

Yuan Man glanced at the account books, then looked at Hui Chengyuan and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"It was found in the secret room of the Xizhou prefect's study." Hui Chengyuan answered her question while looking at the account book.

Yuanman just thought, why do people like to build darkrooms in study rooms?

He picked up an account book and looked at it casually. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the entries in this account book seemed to match the deposits made by the Chang family in Shun'an Money House.

"Didn't you send anyone to investigate the Shun'an Bank incident?"

Hui Chengyuan said: "Yes, Dong Cheng has been recruited, but he doesn't know where the money went. At the beginning of every month, someone will come to the bank to take the money away."

“I didn’t expect it to be transported here.”

"Prince Gong trusts the Lou family. He has placed several million taels of gold and silver here, and even took out the prince's order."

As he spoke, Hui Chengyuan took out the prince's order and the golden medal of immunity from death.

"Since my father ascended the throne, he has granted two gold medals of immunity from death. The one in your hand, and the other is this one."

"This piece was given by my father to his good friend. It should be in the hands of Tang Zhili, the head of the Tang family in Beizhou."

“And now it appears here.”

Yuan Man took the gold medal from his hand and looked at it. It was the same as his own, the only difference was that his own had an extra word "乐" on it.

"So, you suspect the Tang family is also involved?"

"Ah..." Yuanbao in Yuanman's arms grabbed the gold medal in her hand and was about to put it into his mouth, but Yuanman quickly pulled it away.

Seeing this, Hui Chengyuan took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his hand. "I don't say I know Tang Zhili very well, but I know what kind of person he is. He probably wouldn't do such a thing."

"My father is a good friend of his, and he holds the golden medal of immunity from death granted by my father. There is no need for him to follow Prince Gong and take such a risk."

"However, it's not certain for the other members of the Tang family. But the only one who can make Tang Zhili take out the death-free gold medal is his son or daughter."
