Chapter 215 Great Qi Dynasty 16
Now, Li Chunfang will be tried in public and executed the next day.
Moreover, throughout the entire case, the only thing mentioned was that Li Chunfang embezzled bribes and misappropriated disaster relief funds.
There was no mention of his relationship with the capital, and he looked completely as if he had done nothing.
It can at least paralyze Prime Minister Yu and others.
The old emperor had been holding back the secret memorial submitted by the crown prince, which gave them just enough time to return. The rest of the matter could be discussed after they returned to the capital.
On the return journey this time, someone was sent to pretend to be the prince as a target and follow the main force.
Mu Chen, Mu Yang, and the Crown Prince took Li Chunfang, disguised as traveling merchants, and chose a water route, heading northwest along the Jiangnan water network, passing through Wuxi, Changzhou, etc. Then they took a detour to Kaifeng and then set off for the capital.
The time on the road will be doubled compared to the normal time returning to Beijing, but it can help you avoid a large number of assassins.
Besides Muchen and Muyang, the only people accompanying the Crown Prince this time were two secret guards and a eunuch who served the Crown Prince. Their group of seven, lightly dressed and simple, attracted little attention.
During the time they were back in Beijing, Sirong secretly returned to the capital at night. Fortunately, his condition did not deteriorate further, but it did not show any significant improvement either.
Seeing her daughter return, Si's mother was overjoyed. She hurried forward to hold Sirong's hand and asked her if she was safe outside and if she had suffered any grievances. Faced with her mother's series of caring questions, Sirong felt warm in her heart, but at this moment she was more concerned about how to treat her father's illness as soon as possible.
After exchanging pleasantries with her mother, Sirong asked Mrs. Li to come up with an excuse to get her mother out of the way. Mrs. Li understood what she meant and quickly used the excuse that Sirong was making a midnight snack to successfully get her mother out of the way.
Then, while there was no one in the room, Si Rong brought Si's father into the treatment room inside the space. Si Rong skillfully operated the console, activated the full-body scanning system, and began to conduct a detailed full-body examination of Si's father.
As the data on the screen continued to scroll and update, Sirong nervously watched the changes in each indicator.
Not long after, the test results came out. What made Sirong happy was that with the nanorobot technology equipped in her existing treatment room, she was fully capable of safely removing the blood clot in Sifu's brain!
And according to estimates, the entire operation will only take about three hours to complete.
Of course, Sirong wanted to perform the operation on Sifu right now, but when Sifu woke up, how would she explain how he was cured?
Even if Sirong told her mother everything, how would she explain to other people in the capital when her father suddenly woke up?
Moreover, under the current situation, even if Sifu wakes up, this matter must not be spread easily to avoid causing unnecessary trouble or even danger.
So after eating the noodles cooked by her mother, Si Rong said goodbye to her mother and left the general's mansion.
In about a week, Muchen and the others will be able to return to the capital.
At that time, she would come back again, disguise herself as a miracle doctor or something like that, and let Muchen bring her here.
After my father recovers from his illness, I will have an excuse to deal with inquiries from the outside world.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Sirong did not return to the Northern Territory. All her confidants in the military camp were fed loyalty pills by her, so there would be no trouble even if she did not go back for a few days.
She found a wig and contact lenses in the space, disguised herself as a young man, and waited near Prime Minister Yu's residence, hoping to find some other evidence of him and the Fourth Prince.
Last time, she put in a lot of effort and almost turned the entire Prime Minister's Mansion upside down, but she didn't find any account books or correspondence.
I think Prime Minister Yu must have other secret rooms or treasure hiding places.
During this period, the people sent by the prince were never idle. They monitored the Prime Minister's Mansion day and night, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
But even so, no useful clues were found. This shows that the hidden place must be extremely hidden and not easy to find.
The more this happened, the more Sirong was unwilling to give up.
After all, the matter is of great importance. If the secret cannot be revealed, it is likely to affect the overall situation.
So she decided to go and investigate in person. The Soul Condensation Technique could help her. With this technique, even at a distance from Prime Minister Yu, she could still keenly perceive his every move.
Maybe this adventure will really bring unexpected rewards!
After following Prime Minister Yu for a few days, it turned out to be just as the spies had reported.
Prime Minister Yu’s daily routine is quite fixed.
Every day, he would hold court at the hour of Mao to discuss state affairs and handle government affairs with the emperor and his officials. After court, Prime Minister Yu would return directly to the Prime Minister's Residence. On his way, he might receive a brief conversation from a subordinate or official, but he would decide whether to stop based on the circumstances.
At the Si hour, you will go to the study to handle unfinished official business, review documents, and receive visitors or subordinates.
I will have lunch with my wife and take a short rest at noon.
When the end of time comes, Prime Minister Yu will leave his residence to inspect the six ministries.
Among these six ministries, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel were the two he visited most often.
In particular, the Ministry of Revenue specially set up a separate room for the Prime Minister so that he could take a rest and recover his energy after a hard day's work.
These places were inaccessible to the spies who were following him, so they had no idea what Prime Minister Yu was doing inside.
I could only hide in the tree and see who he met.
But he didn't find any clues from the people he met. Moreover, they had sneaked into the room where Prime Minister Yu rested at night to investigate.
It's really just a rest room. There's not even a desk in it, except for a screen that blocks the door.
There was only a bed to rest on and a clothes hanger.
Prime Minister Yu and the Minister of Revenue have always been in collusion, and Sirong knows this.
But is it really necessary to set up a separate lounge for him in the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Sirong asked the intelligent computer to scan the lounge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and indeed found a clue.
It turned out that there was a secret passage under the clothes rack in the lounge, leading to a Taoist temple two streets away from the Ministry of Revenue.
Sirong followed the 3D image given to her by the intelligent computer and walked to the gate of the Taoist temple.
Through the images fed back, it was discovered that there was a huge basement under the Taoist temple.
To know what is inside, Sirong needs to go down and investigate it herself.
However, the intelligent computer detected that there was a large amount of iron metal underground.
