After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 38 Silver Mine

"What if he's not afraid of death?"

Feng Wuwei was stunned: "What the princess means is that the murderer is Zhao Ke!"

Shen Mingjiao spread her hands: "I didn't say that, but judging from the current situation, he is the most suspicious."

"First of all, Madam Lian is his beloved concubine. How could he not know anything about what Madam Lian did? Even if he was controlled by Madam Lian's so-called hypnosis, he should have figured out to what extent he was controlled."

Hearing this, Feng Wu also reacted: "Yes, Cailian, a woman who has never left Luodu. How did she know that you are Princess Su? How did she transport so much treasury silver alone?"

…

Finally, Feng Lisheng ordered Feng Wu to investigate everything about Zhao Ke. At the same time, he sent Tiezhu, Xu Daniu and others to secretly keep an eye on the Zhao mansion.

And he took Shen Mingjiao out of the city.

Shen Mingjiao actually doesn't want to go anywhere. As a woman who wants to be a flower vase, she just wants to stay in the house and eat and drink. As for investigating the case and promoting justice, I'm sorry, but she doesn't have such a high ideological awareness!

However, after Feng Lisheng experienced what happened before, and this was an extraordinary time to catch the murderer, he always felt that the only way to be safe was to keep the person under his nose.

It's just... Feng Lisheng glanced at Xiaoxuetuan, who was nestled comfortably in Shen Mingjiao's arms, and frowned with disgust. He didn't understand what was so rare about such a weak little thing?

Shen Mingjiao didn't care. She had just given birth to such a cute little guy. It was fresh and she had to wrap it up wherever she went.

Seeing that the carriage was getting further and further away from the city, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "Where are we going?"

Feng Lisheng quickly flipped through the accounts in his hand, "Go to an abandoned mine on the outskirts of the city."

Shen Mingjiao became a little more interested, straightened up and raised her head and asked, "What did you find out?"

Feng Lisheng closed the ledger,

"Although Luodu City is rich, there are also corrupt officials. It stands to reason that the treasury cannot hold so much money.

I checked the money that Luodu City had paid to the Ministry of Accounts in the past ten years, and found that the amounts were completely inconsistent."

Shen Mingjiao understood what he meant. In other words, someone ended up saving money and squandering the money that should have been turned over to the national treasury.

Feng Lisheng continued: "Based on the records left in the treasury, we can see that there were indeed 20 million taels of silver in the treasury of Luodu City before. So where did the extra silver come from, and who did it end up in?"

in the pocket?"

Shen Mingjiao tore up a piece of meat and fed it to Xiaoxue Tuan, "Obviously, it's impossible that the upper-level officials in Luodu don't know about such a big matter. Wouldn't it be over as long as they are arrested and put on trial?"

"After interrogation, those people were frightened by the murder of three families. They said that the silver was mined from a silver mine."

Shen Mingjiao took a breath, illegal mining of silver was a capital crime that would destroy the nine tribes!

Feng Lisheng sneered: "Jia Tongpan and Xu Tongzhi were afraid that the private silver miners would be exposed in the future, so they deposited the silver in the treasury, thinking that if something happened, they could deduce that the silver had not been handed over yet.

.”

Shen Mingjiao: "And as the Lord of Luodu City, it is impossible for Zhao Ke not to know about this."

While talking, the two of them had arrived at their destination and the carriage stopped.

The guard who had been here before led the way, and several people turned left and right, finally arriving at a mine that had just been excavated. Occasionally, they could see tired-looking workers returning home carrying their luggage.

The guards were ordered to step forward and stop a miner who was about to rebel against his family.
