"Your Majesty, I received a report from Duke Yue's mansion a few days ago. The warehouse of Duke Yue's mansion was empty. Everything was stolen. In addition, a large number of servants disappeared. No one can find their bodies. The strange thing is that Duke Yue's mansion did not report any missing persons before.

Lord Tong, as the governor of the Nine Gates, is in charge of the garrison of the entire Yuanjing City. He has a heavy responsibility. This case is of great importance. I am afraid that there must be a big problem.

After receiving the report of the case from Yueguogong Mansion, the Dali Temple attached great importance to it and tried its best to get to the bottom of it.

Some important clues were found. The theft in the storehouse of Duke Yue's mansion was caused by a traitor in the mansion. It was the result of collusion between Aunt Li, the concubine in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and Butler Tong.

They worked together to empty the warehouse of Duke Yue's mansion, and took the things inside out to Li Yi Niang's brother to sell them. Except for the imperial gifts that were difficult to sell, 80% of the things had been sold out by them. "

"Nonsense, you are slandering me and framing me!" Meng Qisui's words made Tong Guoan so angry that he jumped up from the ground. He stared at Meng Qisui viciously, wishing he could eat him alive.

Meng Qisui continued calmly, "Your Majesty, I have evidence.

Butler Tong has worked in Duke Yue's Mansion for decades, and the key to the warehouse in Duke Yue's Mansion has always been kept by Butler Tong.

After the incident, I took people to check the scene. The doors and windows of the warehouse were intact, and there was not even a footprint. There was a lot of dust on the floor of the empty warehouse, which obviously had been stolen for a long time. Even if it was not Butler Tong who did it, he was also responsible for dereliction of duty, so I asked Butler Tong to go back to the Dali Temple for questioning. This is the testimony signed by Butler Tong himself, please take a look, Your Majesty. "

After that, Meng Qisui presented a testimony. The emperor took it and saw that it really had the handprint of Butler Tong.

Meng Qisui continued, "According to the confession of Steward Tong, the Dali Temple did send people to find the imperial gifts that they had not yet had time to sell, as well as a large amount of silver and gold. These things have been confiscated and recorded.

The stolen goods have been sealed according to the rules, and the emperor can send someone to check it personally."

The high and mighty Emperor Jiade personally threw the evidence in his hand fiercely in Tong Guoan's face and said, "What else do you have to say!"

Tong Guoan's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still insisted, "Your Majesty, the case of Steward Tong stealing the family property was indeed the fault of my negligence, please forgive me, Your Majesty.

However, even if Butler Tong stole the property in my house, what does it have to do with my concubine Li Yue'er and my son Tong Wencai?

Besides, the Dali Temple had already taken Butler Tong away.

Today, people from the Dali Temple came to arrest my concubine Li Yue'er and my son Tong Wencai.

I know my woman and son thoroughly, they are both kind-hearted people. I am willing to guarantee Li Yue'er and Tong Wencai..."

Tong Guoan knew in his heart that Butler Tong was obviously beyond saving, but he had to find a way to save Li Yue'er and Tong Wencai no matter what.

At this time, an official beside him gently reminded: "Master Tong, people's minds are hard to predict, so you should be more careful when speaking..."

Who interrupted me?

You really don't know any rules at all.

Tong Guoan looked up with a frown on his face. The person who spoke was not Meng Qisui, but the governor of Yuanjing City, Lu, who had been standing silently by his side.
