Fast Time Travel: Cannon Fodder's Road to Godhood

Although they rushed back to the capital, the belongings they brought were still placed in Hanmei Town.At this time, he returned to the capital first, mainly to interrogate the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and then assign manpower to secretly investigate the missing beggar under the imperial city.

Waiting for the quick end, Suning will return to Haijiang County.The main reason is that in the account books obtained by Haijiang County, there are not only lists of children, but also downlines developed from Haijiang County, through which children are trafficked.

But these children are young, and the oldest are only twelve or thirteen years old, so they must be placed in one place.According to the date, the recently abducted children may not have had time to be sent out of Haijiang County, but at this time the news has been released, and the pick-up person will not appear in danger. It is the right time to rescue those children.

The three of them had just returned to the capital and entered the Dali Temple, and the body of the minister of punishment was also brought over.

From Jin Yiwei's report to the palace, the emperor learned that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was involved, and immediately sent people to search the Minister of the Ministry of Justice's home, but he saw the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and his wife hanging themselves from the beam, and left a letter, admitting that he was the mastermind of child trafficking.

With Haijiang County as the center, they collect children from outside, and then sell these children scattered. If the children cannot be sold, they will be guarded by others and turned into beggars for profit.The county magistrate of Haijiang County was dispatched by him. This matter has been exposed, so he can only hang himself and reduce his crime.

Because Suning was still on the way, the emperor ordered the body to be sent to Dali Temple. At the same time, he sent the Zhen Fusi to search the house of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and sent all the evidence obtained to Dali Temple to wait for investigation.

The two corpses were lying naked on the autopsy table, their eyes staring out and their faces swollen purple.

After the autopsy was completed according to the usual method, Su Ning walked out of the autopsy room with his gloves off, holding the autopsy items recorded by Huang Yu in his hand.

Han Zimo and Tao Hongyi were checking the sent evidence one by one. There was a ledger in it, but it recorded all the interests between Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Peng Wei, but there was no sign of other people's participation.

Seeing Suning coming, Han Zimo quickly asked, "Did he kill him?"

"Both of them committed suicide." Suning handed the grid to Han Zimo and Tao Hongyi, asking them to look at it themselves. "Did you find the ledger?"

Tao Hongyi said: "It's useless to find it. I made it up by myself. There are only records between him and Peng Wei. According to common sense, there is too much difference between a minister of punishment and a county magistrate. It's really strange that there is no one else in between." .”

Su Ning touched his lips and nodded, "It seems that someone wants us to close the case. Fortunately, many of Peng Wei's accounts are still offline. After this day, you stay in the capital. Zimo, you are a little prince, and you happen to run a good school. Take advantage of this identity and Hongyi to investigate where the missing beggar is hiding. I will go to Hanmei Town to find the other hidden children. Maybe those offline people know the identity of the pick-up person."

Han Zimo asked worriedly, "Ningning, can you do it alone?"

Suning smiled slightly and said, "There are still more than a dozen Jinyiwei in Hanmei Town. Peng Wei has already obeyed the law, so nothing serious will happen. On the contrary, the water depth in this capital city, you must not be impulsive."

Just as the three of them were talking about the beggar in the imperial city, someone from outside rushed to report that it was Prime Minister Wu who sent someone to take Suning to the mansion to discuss something.

Hearing Prime Minister Wu's invitation, Tao Hongyi didn't have a good face.Suning gave the reporter some broken silver, bid farewell to the two and caught up with the carriage to Wu's Mansion.

Prime Minister Wu heard about the abduction and trafficking of children at the mansion, and his heart was always jumping up and down very nervous.Everyone knew that the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was under his jurisdiction, and he was also promoted.The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice is related to this case, even if he blatantly slapped him in the face, it indirectly means that he may also have something to do with this case.

The key point is that Prime Minister Wu is going to be locked at home again this month, and the news he gets is a little bit slower, and he still doesn't know what the emperor is thinking now.

Although their Wu family is rampant, the little prince has not yet been born, and he does not have enough strength to destroy the current emperor. If the emperor really intends to take action against them, it is still unclear who will win and who will win.

So at this moment, not only Suning was called, but even the former Tai Tuo asked him to come over, taking advantage of the emperor's birthday banquet to find out what the emperor said.

As soon as Su Ning arrived at the Wu Mansion, he saw Prime Minister Wu talking to an elderly man. The elderly man was wearing a Confucian robe with wide sleeves and a beard. He looked like a fairy.Wu Zai was quite respectful to this man, serving tea and pouring water himself.

"Lin Ning, come here." Prime Minister Wu saw Suning waving happily and asked Suning to come in quickly.Pointing to the Confucian robed man drinking tea, he said, "This is Grand Tutor Jia Yuanxi, who used to be the emperor's teacher."

Suning hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

Jia Taifu smiled and said: "No, I heard that you are the minister of Dali Temple who just took office, but you have solved a lot of cases, which is really good. Since ancient times, heroes are born in youth, but it is our old bones. Everyone should give way.”

Prime Minister Wu answered with a smile and said, "Hey, don't say that, Mr. Taifu. You are the emperor's teacher respected by all the students in the world. How can Lin Ning compare to you. But ah, this child is indeed good. This time He will investigate the matter in Hanmei Town again, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has hanged himself."

"Oh? Is the case over?" Taifu Jia looked at Suning suspiciously.

Su Ning nodded and said: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment did hang himself, and the ledger was also found in his home. He is Peng Wei's upline. It's just that the child in Hanmei Town has not been rescued, so I need to go to Hanmei Town again. "

Prime Minister Wu asked again: "Did you report to the Holy One?"

Su Ning shook his head, "I just came back from Hanmei Town, and the body was examined, but I haven't reported it to the emperor yet."

Prime Minister Wu nodded and said: "Well. In that case, you can report to the palace when you get back. But you don't have to go to Hanmei Town yourself to find the child, just let someone else do it. In ten days, it will be the emperor's birthday. Yan, did you prepare any birthday gifts when you first took office?"

"The emperor's birthday banquet?"

"You still don't know about the emperor's birthday banquet?! Hey, you are really out of character." Prime Minister Wu patted Suning on the shoulder and asked, "Tao Hongyi was not transferred from the Ministry of Rites, so he never told you about it." thing."

Su Ning smiled embarrassedly.

"Hmph, this Tao Hongyi is just like his father, I'm afraid he just doesn't want to tell you. Fortunately, the old man saw that you just took office and you don't have any money, so I prepared a jade purification bottle for you."

"Student, thank you sir." Su Ning was overjoyed.

Prime Minister Wu provoked the relationship between Suning and Tao Hongyi, and just heard about this case. Suning did not implicate himself, and there were more smile lines on his face. He called someone to come and send the jade bottle to Dali Temple , and urged Suning to go to the palace to settle the case.

After Suning left, he watched Prime Minister Wu and Taifu Jia whispering something in secret.

In the palace, Su Xie had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Suning came over and knelt down in plain clothes, she quickly asked him to come over and offer a seat.

There are only two people in this imperial study room, so they can relax a little.

Su Xie pushed a plate of pastries to Suning's side, "It's a reward for you, how is the case going?"

"Your Majesty is so stingy, he wants to send me away with just a plate of pastries." Suning unceremoniously bit off a piece, and the taste made by the imperial dining room is more delicate and delicious than the ones sold outside, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not heavy.

Su Xie poured another cup of tea for Suning, so that he wouldn't choke and said in a low voice, "I didn't say there was nothing to eat last time, but now I asked people to make so much more, I don't even know how to praise it."

Su Ning didn't pay attention to Su Xie's whispered complaints, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "The case is not closed yet, there may be big fish on it. It's just that I went to Wu Chengli's house today, and saw a Taifu Jia befriending him, who is it?" ?”

Su Xie pursed her lips a little dissatisfied, but she obediently explained: "Jia Yuanxi used to be my teacher, but he retired ten years ago and lived in the capital for the elderly. I have never seen any friendship between him and Wu Chengli before. This time I am afraid it is because He was afraid that he would be involved in the matter of child abduction, so he asked Jia Yuanxi to find out what I said."

"That's how it is." Su Ning said: "The Beijing Shanxue School was established. It once wanted to recruit beggars as students, but a large number of beggars disappeared. Now they may be those children who were trafficked, so these children were trapped in the capital. somewhere."

"I will send some secret guards to investigate."

"Yeah." Suning squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "I heard from Wu Chengli that your birthday will be soon, Your Majesty, but you just took office, and you don't have any money." Suning stretched out his hand.

Su Bai's little finger moved, met Su Xie's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing, saying: "I don't have any ready-made bank notes."

"Sigh." Su Ning pouted: "Let me be a double-faced person, and I don't have twice the salary. Now I rely on Zimo to support me, or I would have starved to death."

"What can Han Zimo give you?" Su Xie was really jealous, "Waiting to go out and tell Lin Shaoqing that Huitong Bank has an unlimited token, let him give it to you."

Seeing Suning's appearance as a money fan after finishing speaking, he said again: "But, this token is for you, you have to choose a birthday gift for me. Don't give me something that doesn't cost money."

Su Ning nodded, saying that he would definitely give a big gift, and he had already decided in his heart that it would be the jade purification bottle.Prime Minister Wu's choice must be good, and Su Xie doesn't know whether he wants money or not.

After chatting a few more words about the case, Su Ning withdrew from the imperial study, and took the unlimited token from Lin Shaoqing who opened his mouth in astonishment.Digging the weight of this token, Suning squinted and smiled happily. Everything is difficult without money. With this token, it is much more convenient to use informants for investigation.
