The escape of the Yaguo people must be due to internal cooperation, but who is this candidate?

The emperor gave Xu Ran three days, if no real internal support person can be found out, then Xu Ran will be sent to the guillotine.

The situation was serious, not only Xu Ran was able to communicate with the Ya people, but also so many new translators, the third prince military officer, etc., and the network of these people was very dense, and checking them one by one was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As soon as they left the palace gate, almost everyone avoided Xu Ran, for fear that he would hurt them.

"My lords, Third Prince, please wait a moment." Xu Ran didn't understand what they were thinking, so he stopped them immediately.

"Hehe, Chief Assistant, what's the matter?"

"Master Wang, I advise you to quickly find a scapegoat, heh."

Xu Ran said lightly, "I advise everyone not to go out during this time and cooperate with my work, otherwise whoever destroys my work will be the scapegoat in the mouth of the third prince!"

He is the newly appointed Chief Assistant. He is an upright official and does not have any party members. Now the only ones who can be called party members are Yuan Tingshan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and General Li Zhongwu.

It's not easy for military officials to interfere in the affairs of civil servants, but Xu Ran naturally has a way to deal with these disobedient civil servants.

Emperor Chen's attitude is unclear now, so Xu Ran must act cautiously.

After hearing his words, everyone left the palace gate tremblingly.

The third prince wanted to stay and taunt him, but in the blink of an eye, he realized that he should not get too complacent, so he swung his sleeves and left triumphantly.

Xu Ran's investigation did not go well, because although the Yaguo people had few contacts, they were complicated, and there were even some people who shielded each other, probably talking about some shady things.

But some people talk about shameful things, but it doesn't mean that these people have the courage to let the people of Yaguo go. This is a serious crime of treason.

Most people don't have the guts to do this, unless the interests are big enough to rival the throne.

Xu Ran thought of the conditions that the Yaguo people had put forward for him before. Perhaps these conditions were recognized by others, but who is this person?

The gentle breeze can't blow away the sorrow in Xu Ran's heart. Combined with the recent news, he actually already has a candidate in his heart.

The third prince, no, it should be said to be a fake third prince. When was this third prince swapped? Since no one knows his true identity, why did he do this? What good does it do him to let go of the Ya people?

The court recognized the ability of the third prince, so he couldn't be a complete idiot, Xu Ran thought about it again and again, thinking that there was something wrong with it.

[System, help me find out the latest movements of the Third Prince. 】

【receive! 】

Xu Ran is worried about leaving it to other people for investigation. He doesn't stay in this mansion very often, and there are many spies belonging to various forces.

In the past, Xu Ran didn't want to move and didn't bother to care about them, and now he doesn't want to move unless he really offended him.

"Housekeeper." Xu Ran raised his voice and shouted.

"Master." The housekeeper came immediately respectfully.

Xu Ran handed over the letter he had just drawn up to him, and said in a melancholy way, "Send this letter to my cousin. After thinking about it, I think she is my cousin after all, and her blood relationship is broken." No, since she is short of money, give her some banknotes."

"Master Dayi, I'll do it now."

[Host, found it. 】The speed of information collection by the system is very fast, and it will be back after a while.

[The third prince has been in contact with more than 300 people recently, and the people who have nothing to do with this matter have been screened out. Now there are only two people who he has contacted the most in private and are the most suspected. 】

[Concubine Wen Gui and Li Wengui? 】 Xu Ran said these two names without thinking.

【Wow!The host is so smart! 010 is so impressed! 】

[...You have no body. 】

Tapping the book in his hand with his fingers, Xu Ran immediately ruled out Concubine Wen Gui. The other party was the concubine of the third prince and a noble concubine in the deep palace. He definitely couldn't negotiate with the people of Yaguo, so only Li Wengui was left.

Li Wengui is a person who has learned the Yaguo dialect, but his communication with the Yaguo people is not very smooth. If this is the case, he must have an accomplice, and this accomplice is among the translators.

With a clue, Xu Ran immediately sent someone to check Li Wengui's network.

Xu Ran has a good impression of Li Wengui, an interpreter who has met a lot recently. This person is the first interpreter who rushed to talk to a Asian, and he is not very old.

During the time when the Yaguo was found missing, the two met privately many times, and the interpreter had been in and out of the mansion under house arrest several times before the Yaguo disappeared, and even caused a small riot in the name of missing things. .move.

It seems that people were taken away at this time, but with so many soldiers, how did they get out?

Xu Ran sighed, the ancient times are not good like this, if you put aside the modern times and switch off the monitoring, you can see clearly every minute, the difference is obvious, there is no need to guess and be fooled like this.

It was easier for the soldiers, Xu Ran sent a letter directly to Li Zhongwu, asking Li Zhongwu to deal with it, and as expected, a small soldier was soon found.

This little soldier is in charge of the back door. That day a new cook came in through the back door. Because he was too slack, and the new cook was honest and gave him some things, so he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. up.

It wasn't until the little soldier was found that the little soldier knew that he had made a big mistake.

The new cook that day had disappeared, and the original cook was found unconscious at home. If Xu Ran hadn't brought someone there in time, he would have been a dead soul in the underground by now.

Two buckets of vegetables were brought in that day. It rained that day, and the cart that the cook brought things over to pull, there were four sloppy marks of about the same depth on the semi-wet soil.

I don't know the weight of the two barrels of vegetables, but how can the wheel prints after unloading be similar to the previous ones, unless there are people in them.

It's just a blink of an eye in three days, without delay, Xu Ran immediately entered the palace.

On the way, he met Concubine Wen Gui, who seemed to be waiting here specially for him.

"Master Wang, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Young concubine, I have no obligation to tell you about my affairs, right?"

"Presumptuous! Although you are the first assistant, the one in front of you is the imperial concubine!" A court lady beside Concubine Wen snapped.

Xu Ran curled his lips contemptuously, "I'm afraid the imperial concubine has forgotten a word, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

"I stay here to greet the imperial concubine out of courtesy, but the imperial concubine has no reason to interfere with my affairs, does she?"

Concubine Wen was grinning, but her fingers turned white, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "My lord is worrying too much, I only ask this question because I care about lord Wang."

Xu Ran's eyes shifted to the court lady who just scolded, "Your Majesty, you don't mean it, but some people do."

Concubine Wen glanced at the maid next to her, "Bold! How dare you speak to Shoufu like that, come here, drag it down and hit the [-] boards, and then throw it to the clothing department!"

"No! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life!" The palace maid immediately knelt down in front of Xu Ran, "My lord, my lord, please forgive me, this servant should be beaten for being cheap, but please don't let this servant go to the clothing department, where he will die ..."

The palace maid cried heart-piercingly and was extremely miserable, but Xu Ran didn't even blink her eyelids, "Madam, since there is nothing wrong, I will leave first."

"My lord, go slowly."

After she couldn't see Xu Ran's back, Concubine Wen snorted coldly, "See how long you can be proud, go back to the palace!"

The palace maid's shrill screams got farther and farther away, Xu Ran had already walked into the imperial study room quickly, Eunuch Sun signaled, and immediately went in to communicate.

"Junior brother, come here in such an emergency, could it be that there has been some progress in the escape of the people from Yaguo?" Seeing him coming in, Emperor Chen immediately put down the brush in his hand.

"That's right, but everyone who learned the Ya language together needs to come and confront him."

Emperor Chen nodded in agreement.

Not long after, everyone arrived, Xu Ran looked around, facing all kinds of blank or gloating gazes, Xu Ran opened his mouth.

"When the people of Yaguo escaped, there were people who responded from inside and outside, and the people inside were among the people in the temple. First, they bought off the lax guards guarding the back door, and then they used someone's incident at the front door to cause commotion. Finally, they used a grain truck to drive people away in a grandiose manner. Take it out."

As Xu Ran spoke, he observed the reactions of everyone present. When talking about specific events, some people did not respond correctly.

"Is this your guess?" Chen Di asked.

"No, I have witnesses."

During the conversation, witnesses were brought up, including the soldier and the cook, and they immediately told everything they knew.

After hearing the testimonies of the two, the Third Prince suddenly let go of his slightly raised heart, "My lord, the two people you found must not have been bought by you a long time ago, right? How do we know what they are talking about?" True or false."

"Third prince, don't you think I can bribe the military officer?"

Disagreement between military officials and civilian officials is not a matter of a day or two. The people above are okay and can fake smiles, but the people below are quick to move when they meet.

The third prince was speechless.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment stood up at this time, "Your Majesty, the first assistant and the minister will check the grain truck marks together, and the minister can prove that the first assistant is not lying."

The emperor above frowned for a while, "Wang Aiqing, the witness evidence does not prove that you did not do these things."

Xu Ran had expected this question a long time ago, "I want to report to the emperor, then I have to ask Bachelor Zhang."

Zhang Xueshi, who was named by him, immediately turned pale, "Why, why do you ask me?"

"May I ask who you took the money from, and made a big noise at the front gate to attract the attention of the gatekeepers."

"Your majesty has learned a lesson, but the minister did not. These are all fabricated by the chief minister out of thin air, slandering the humble minister!" Zhang Xueshi shouted his grievances loudly.

"Really? Then where did you get so many brand-new official silver in your home?"

As Xu Ran spoke, the guard who had been waiting for a long time immediately threw the package in front of Zhang Xueshi.

"You are a small translator, and your salary is usually very low. I see that you are also cutting down on food and clothing on weekdays, but 500 taels of silver suddenly appear in your home. Where did this money come from? Do you need to say more?"

On the ground, Bachelor Zhang has been paralyzed on the ground in despair since the money was poured in front of him. Hearing Xu Ran's scolding, he immediately pointed out, "It's Li Wengui! It was Li Wengui who ordered me to do this with the money. I don't know why he If you want to do this, you are purely bewitched by money, please forgive me!"

"Your majesty, the minister did not, this is slander!" Li Wengui's rebuttal sounded very familiar, a very standardized cry of grievances.

Seeing his denial, Zhang Xueshi immediately revealed more details, forcing Li Wengui to admit it.

Emperor Chen squinted his eyes, looked at the noisy scene below, and let out a long breath, "Since we have found out, let's kill these traitors."

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty—" Zhang Xueshi burst into tears on the spot, regretting his mistakes.

But Li Wengui looked at the third prince reflexively, only to see the third prince shaking his head at him very cryptically, and mouthing a name slowly.

His pupils constricted suddenly, and he had no choice but to turn his head and bow his head to confess.

So far, this vigorous frame-up has come to an end.

According to Li Wengui's confession, the court immediately sent people to chase after him, but it was too late. By the time they caught up, the two people from Yaguo had already left Chenguo on a prepared boat.

Xu Ran admired Li Wengui quite a bit. He didn't know what the Third Prince had said to him, but he carried everything alone.

The people of Yaguo have already fled the country of Chen, and it is estimated that they will report the affairs of the country to Yaguo as soon as they go back. Emperor Chen discussed with everyone and prepared to open the sea to guard.

After all, it's not a problem to keep it closed all the time. It's possible that they won't know until someone calls in.

The people present are the middle forces of the court. After passing, the matter was immediately issued, and at the same time Li Zhongwu also began to train the navy intensively.
