"So today, the father's intention to call the court guard Dou into the palace was not only because of the matter of the Marquis of Huaiyin, but also because of the death of a person in the imperial family in Guangzhou." Ning Wuheng explained this to Jiang Chengyi.

The boy's eyes were clear and bright, and he was filled with deep worries at this moment.

Jiang Chengyi looked at him silently, and after a while, he said with a serious expression: "Your Highness today... is the Political Affairs Hall that you went to with Lord Dou. Does Your Majesty have the order that you tell me about this?"

The young man was slightly stunned and replied: "My father ordered Lord Dou to investigate this case privately. Don't leak the news, let alone let me tell you about this matter."

Jiang Chengyi asked: "Even if that is... why should Your Highness tell me?"

Seeing this, the young man did not think too much and said bluntly: "For students... the teacher is the guide of political affairs and personnel affairs. The students are difficult to solve this matter, so they want to ask the teacher."

Jiang Chengyi sighed: "Your Highness... I have mentioned it to you many times. No matter where you are, you should not be harmful to others, but you should not be careful. The death of a Chinese and Korean royal family in the Western Region is of great importance. Your Majesty ordered Lord Dou to investigate privately, in order to prevent someone from disturbing the internal affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty and causing disputes between the two countries before the case was revealed.

The reason why Your Majesty ordered the Tingwei Lord Dou to investigate this case is that Master Dou is not only upright, but also does not participate in any party struggles. He has no connection with all the gentry and elders in the court. He also cares about the world and people's livelihood. He will never miss the news of the case without caring about the people of both countries. Now, it is too careless to disclose this matter to the minister despite Your Majesty's instructions."

The young man didn't understand, and his eyes followed Jiang Chengyi tightly and asked: "The students are not unclear about what the teacher said. However, since he entered the court, the teacher has been loyal to his father and devoted himself to the Wei Dynasty, and has taught and guided the students personally. The students believe that such major issues related to the two countries should not be concealed by the teacher, so... he brought the teacher here to explain."

Jiang Chengyi held his hands behind his back, and said seriously word by word: "Your Highness, I know that your Highness trusts me. However, whether your Highness believes in or not, it is not advisable to speak to anyone before it has been investigated clearly. How could your Highness know that I would not mention this matter to others inadvertently?"

But the boy immediately shook his head firmly and said, "The teacher is not such a person..."

Jiang Chengyi said helplessly: "My heart is to Your Highness, so naturally I will not miss this matter, but I will not be able to accompany Your Highness for the rest of my life. Your Highness is a chosen person. As the crown prince, you must have a plan and must not trust others too easily. In the future, if you are not by Your Highness's side, your Highness will need to be careful when taking every step. If there are any major case secrets that are related to the peace of the country today, before the clarion clearance is made, for the sake of the people of Dawn, these secrets must be buried in their hearts and rotten in their stomachs, and they must not mention them to others at all."

The boy kept silent, and his handsome and tender cheeks slowly climbed onto a thin layer of red clouds, as if he was ashamed.

After a while, he nodded solemnly and said, "What the teacher said is very true, the students have been taught."

Jiang Chengyi was anxious to set off for Linhe, and wanted to return to his residence to ask about various matters about the western border of Guangzhou.

He bowed to the crown prince and treated the courtesy and wanted to leave. However, the young man insisted on sending him out of the palace gate before he could return to the harem to pay tribute to the queen.

When Xue Qing entered the palace to discuss important matters with Emperor Wei, Prince and Dou Yuelan, he had already followed the little yellow gate Asheng to withdraw from the Nangong and guarded the Shangyuan Gate and waited for him to come out.

Seeing that he was walking in a hurry and came quickly from the palace, Xue Qing immediately went up to him and said, "Young Master."

Jiang Chengyi looked at him, his expression was not good, and he became anxious in his words: "Xue Qing, have you indeed sorted out the files from Qianji Office in the past few months?"

Xue Qing was stunned and said, "Since October last year, the secret reports from Qianji Department have been sorted out by his subordinates and carefully checked them. All major events have been recorded, but no omissions have been omitted. They have been presented to the young master one by one."

Jiang Chengyi entered the ox cart, lifted the curtain, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one around, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure? Then...what is the case when a corpse of a Chinese and Korean royal family appeared in the western part of Guangzhou?"

Xue Qing was stunned, his expression gradually became strange, his facial features squeezed together, and he said in confusion: "I am sure that Qianjidun has not recorded this matter..."

When Jiang Chengyi saw him showing a puzzled expression on his face, he heard his affirmative tone and said strangely: "If a corpse wearing a Chinese and Korean royal jade appears in Guangzhou... Qianjidou will inevitably be included in the file, how could it be recorded?"

Xue Qing said without hesitation: "...If this matter is really recorded in the file, my subordinates will never ignore it, and they will definitely report it to you as soon as possible."

Jiang Chengyi noticed the strangeness, pondered for a moment and said, "Drive to the Imperial Medical Office."

Although Xue Qing didn't understand him, he pulled the reins of the ox cart in his hand and gently pulled the ox and rushed to the Imperial Medical Office to the west.

"Do you think Qin Ye did something wrong with Qin Ye?" Xue Qing asked, then questioning: "Young Master... Since Qin Ye entered the palace, he rarely returned to Jiang Mansion, and he did not see him dressing up and going to Siyinfang... He did not have the opportunity to contact Qian Ji's case file...you..."

"Today, I heard the prince talk about this, and I felt strange. Looking at His Majesty's appearance, it seemed that I had only learned about this recently. However, the road to the west of Guangzhou was difficult, and in recent months, the battle of Linhe, the civil strife of Wuhu, and the case of Song Zong was turbulent. The spies sent by His Majesty to Guangzhou wanted to block the news and report the details of the matter to the capital. It was thought that it was a waste of time before the news was presented to His Majesty. If we infer from this time, this person's body might have been discovered a few months ago. In this way, it was probably the time before the New Year. Qin Ye was still in the capital at that time."

Jiang Chengyi roughly speculated and continued: "Although Qin Ye returned to Jiang Mansion for a young age, he had never gone to Siyinfang, but don't forget. Li Ying, who came and went to Siyinfang and Jiang Mansion, and delivered the files from Qianji Office, had a good relationship with him. The two often made appointments in private. If Qin Ye was interested in taking away the files recorded in the western border of Guangzhou from it, I would not know... it would be very likely."

Xue Qing disbelief: "Young Master... Although Qin Ye made an unforgivable mistake, he hesitated before he did it. Moreover, after the investigation of the Laba explosion, he was not the real culprit... Why do you doubt him about the file?"

He thought that Jiang Chengyi had a prejudice against Qin Ye in his heart because of the Laba explosion, so he now thought that Qin Ye had done something wrong with it, which led to the fact that the major case in the western border of Guangzhou had not been reported.

Jiang Chengyi sighed: "I didn't mean to doubt him. I just had to confirm it because of the timing. I didn't want to doubt him either."

Xue Qing snorted and pulled the reins silently.

Jiang Chengyi showed a look of loss on his face, so he put down the curtain and got into the carriage.

Soon, the ox cart arrived in front of the Imperial Medical Office.

Today, there are only two medical officials in the Imperial Medical Office, so the guards in front of the door have less investigation. When they see that the person coming is Lord Si of the East Mansion, they come with the reason for investigating the case, so they immediately nodded and bowed to welcome him into the palace.

Jiang Chengyi asked him for the list of medical officials and the wing room where they lived, and then dispersed the minor officials who were following him, entered the inner courtyard, and ran straight towards Qin Ye's residence.

Xue Qing followed closely, and the master and servant found Qin Ye's house according to the list. Because the reason he left the Imperial Medical Office was to return home to cure his relatives' illnesses, rather than resigning, for several months, servants have come to clean his house, and have never removed the items in his house.

Jiang Chengyi pushed open the door and saw the windows inside were bright and clean, and all the items were visible. Somehow, the vague anxiety in his heart calmed down a little.

Just when Xue Qing thought that such a clean and tidy house could not hide any files from Qianjidou, Jiang Chengyi still insisted on pursuing around the house.

Some of Xue Qing's troops were unwilling to do so, but they still obeyed his orders and searched up and down the room.

Jiang Chengyi went straight to the simple double-board wooden couch that Qin Ye was sleeping, bent over the bed board for a while, and found a cracked gap in the groove where he was staying. He touched the crack and thought there was nothing strange about it, but as he touched it, he actually felt a corner of smoothness from the gap in the couch board.

He looked solemn, lifted the bedding on the wooden couch, looked carefully at the gap, pulled the corner smoothly and vigorously, and heard a clatter inside, and the sound of something falling to the ground came.

Xue Qing was attracted by the sound, looked at Jiang Chengyi, and then bent down and knelt down at the same time, looking into the gap under the wooden couch.

Jiang Chengyi reached out and touched it for a while, and with some difficulty, he hooked something tightly wrapped in silk.

He tore the knotted silk and saw a bamboo book hidden in it, tied firmly with a thin rope.

When Xue Qing saw this, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly became stunned, and a feeling of disappointment emanated from his heart, and he murmured: "This matter... is really related to Qin Ye?"

Jiang Chengyi did not make a sound, untied the string, and read the contents, but it was indeed as expected. This is the case file of Qianji Office recording the mysterious corpse with Chinese and Korean royal accessories in the western part of Guangzhou.

Xue Qing looked around and asked, "Why did Qin Ye hide the case of the Western District of Guangzhou? This is not good for him. I really don't understand..."

He was extremely angry and very disappointed.

Jiang Chengyi shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out. Qin Ye has worked so hard that he doesn't want me to know that such a thing happened in the western border of Guangzhou. Is it related to the plans of the descendants of the gentry who escaped by the Chang Mengjun case back then?"

He couldn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

If the person who died in the West was really as the prince said, he was a secret spy of the Chinese and Koreans... it had nothing to do with the revenge plan of Chang Mengjun's old men.

After all, why did Qin Ye take such a lot of effort to steal this volume?
