Han Jian and Gu Xiner traveled outside the city until the afternoon, and Han Jian personally sent Gu Xiner back to the house. In front of the Gu Mansion, Han Jian met Gu Weipan who had just come out of the yard.

Gu Weipan came back this time to discuss the naturalization of the concubines and sons she raised outside. Han Jian was an intermediary, and Han Jian had already discussed the matter with Gu Song before notifying Gu Weipan to come back. After Gu Weipan received Gu Song's permission and allowed the concubines and son to enter the mansion, Gu Weipan had temporarily dispelled the plan to "get apart" with Gu Song, but Gu Weipan did not intend to ease his relationship with Gu Song for the time being. Han Jian saw Gu Weipan this time and felt that his face was still very dark.

"Chief Gu, such a coincidence?" Han Jian helped Gu Xin'er get off the carriage and greeted Gu Weipan who came out of the mansion with a smile. At this time, Gu Song personally sent Gu Weipan out of the mansion. As the mistress of the family, Gu Song could not raise his head in front of Gu Weipan. In order to gain Gu Weipan's mercy, she was more like a servant in the Gu family.

Gu Weipan looked at Han Jian, and Gu Xiner said timidly, "Father's Good", then went behind her and supported her mother.

"You go in first, I have something to discuss with the King of Dong." Gu Weipan said to Gu Xiner and Gu Songshi.

Gu Xin'er helped her mother into the door until only Han Jian and Gu Weipan were left in front of the mansion. Gu Weipan turned around and looked at Han Jian again.

"Chief Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder if there is any news when I asked Chief Gu to investigate last time?" Han Jian asked first before Gu Weipan spoke.

Han Jian seemed to have had some disputes with Gu Weipan at the last time, but only the two knew that Han Jian and Gu Weipan were still very harmonious at that time. Han Jian first threatened and tempted him, and then tried to persuade him with reason and sentiment, and asked Gu Weipan to help investigate the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Tang Sheng. Because the investigation took time, Han Jian did not show excessive concern about the matter, so as not to make Gu Weipan think that he had an ulterior purpose.

"Yes." Gu Weipan seemed to have to be stern in front of Han Jian, but after all, he always spoke with a stern face. Especially when he talked to Han Jian, he was still serious.

"It is indeed a matter of course." Gu Weipan said, "Although Tang Gunian has a good official reputation, he has no bad records during his tenure, and his wealth is also very innocent on the surface, but after investigation by me, the land and houses he owned in his hometown are far from consistent with his official salary. But if we want to prove that he is the master of the corruption case, evidence is needed. At present, he is not mentioned in the confession of the criminal indictment, and there is a lack of personal evidence. In terms of physical evidence, this person is backed by the Prince of Yanning, and some money of unknown origin. He cannot be convicted."

Han Jian nodded and said, "Chief Gu has reported these to His Majesty?"

Gu Weipan's tone was a little unkind and said, "Now that there is no evidence, how can I report it to Your Majesty?"

"Does Chief Gu think that Shangshu Tang is related to this case?" Han Jian asked with the help of the water.

"Of course, but..." Gu Weipan paused, "As the chief of the Supreme Master, I cannot act emotionally. There must be evidence to convict people."

Han Jian sighed and said, "Even if there is evidence, I'm afraid it's too late now, right?"

Gu Weipan frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

Han Jian smiled and said, "Now, Shangshu Tang is ordered by the emperor to accompany the Prince of Yanning to escort money and grain north. If Shangshu Tang is really related to the corruption case, then he also colludes with the King of Northern. Chief Gu believes that if he goes north this time, will he be brave enough to come back?"

Gu Weipan pondered: "You mean he will never return?"

"He has no reason to come back. Now the corruption case has been reported. His position as Minister of Revenue will definitely be replaced by others. His Majesty must investigate the Ministry of Revenue and the Treasury Department in detail. What is the use of him staying in the capital?"

After Han Jian finished speaking, Gu Weipan also thought about it. As Han Jian said, Tang Sheng was now a worthless pawn to the King of Northern. Now the corruption case is full of troubles due to the fugitives. Tang Sheng was also afraid that those fugitives would involve him, so he would not dare to come back in danger.

"Now that people have escaped, what else can I do?" Gu Weipan looked at Han Jian with a little annoyed, as if he was saying. Since you know he would run away, why didn't you report to Your Majesty early and ask Your Majesty to change someone to escort money and food, so as not to escape?

Han Jian said: "Chief Gu heard that some corruption case criminals detained by the Tingwei Mansion were robbed and escaped some?"

Gu Weipan was a little puzzled and frowned: "This case is so big, and the Fengchao Department is also working together to investigate and handle the case. How could I not know?"

"I got some clues below and knew where some of them were hiding. I wonder if Chief Gu is interested in finding out and pulling these people out?" Han Jian suddenly asked Gu Wei and Pan with a smile.

Gu Weipan's brows were even tighter. Although Gu Weipan was not a scheming, he was not stupid. He thought, since this kid found out where the fugitive was hiding, why didn't he report the case and tell me?

"You said." Gu Weipan did not reveal his intentions, but just said lightly.

Han Jian then told the hiding place of some fugitives. When Gu Weipan learned where these people were hiding, he was not only shocked, but also a little unbelievable. Because the place Han Jian was talking about was the residences of some famous ministers in the court. These people logically had nothing to do with the corruption case. The fugitives are now stranded in Luoyang City and cannot leave the city. How could they hide in the residences of these ministers? Furthermore, even if it is true, the matter must be very secret. How could the King of the East find out?

"Take what you said seriously?" Gu Weipan looked at Han Jian with some disbelief.

Han Jian thought to himself, I sent people to these two days, why is it not true? It really can't be true anymore.

Since the corruption case occurred, Han Jian, based on clues, has dug out a group of ministers in the court who have been bribed by the King of Northern and have been receiving benefits from the King of Northern and Southern and Northern and Southern and Western officials have been receiving benefits from the King of Northern and Southern and Western officials have been digging out the situation. However, the situation did not allow the situation to expand at that time, so Han Jian did not expose it, which is equivalent to maintaining the case at a small level. When Han Jian sent Mrs. Luo to rob some of the corruption cases, he asked Mrs. Luo's men to temporarily place them in the city in the name of King of Northern and Southern. If not, these fugitives were like frightened birds, how could the court have no clues like stones sinking into the sea in Luoyang?

Han Jian kept these people, and his purpose was to use them to create chaos within the Northern King Party when the situation took a sharp turn.

After the Xianbei people knocked on the door and invaded, Han Jian had already felt that the situation had changed. In the past few days, Han Jian sent Sima Ya, Zhang Xing and others to cooperate with Mrs. Luo to send these fugitives to the residences of some officials involved in the case. Because the fugitive mistakenly thought that Mrs. Luo’s people were the people of the Northern King, after escaping from the prison, he also trusted Mrs. Luo’s people. Not only did he tell some unknown details of the case, but he also told many people in the court who colluded with the Northern King. Han Jian took the opportunity to take the opportunity to send them to the palaces of these officials. In fact, Han Jian threw dirty water on the faces of these people.

There are many officials involved in the case in the court, and many of them are known for being honest and self-righteous. In order to prevent themselves from being exposed, they have only two choices after they enter the palace, either killing people or sending them away. Although there is a third option, they are to keep people in the palace temporarily and send them away when the limelight passes, Han Jian obviously will not let them be satisfied.

The first thing Han Jian did was to tell Gu Weipan about this first and let Gu Weipan know.

"Chief Gu, this matter is so serious, how dare I speak nonsense?" Han Jian said with a cautious look.

Gu Weipan was silent for a long time and said, "Even if what you said is true, I cannot make decisions without authorization and send people to search the residences of these ministers. The corruption case has ended and cannot be implicated."

Han Jian glanced at Gu Weipan and thought to himself that Old Man Gu is really a cautious person. Gu Weipan's current idea is basically a kind of mature and steadfast idea. If something happens, keep things to a certain extent. The bigger the case, the worse the end. When Han Jian first involved in fraud cases and corruption cases, his ideas and actions were the same as Gu Weipan.

Han Jian sighed and said, "I understand what Chief Gu is concerned about. Isn't that the same before? Could it be that Chief Gu forgot that after the corruption case, who suppressed the impact of the case?"

Gu Weipan's expression changed slightly. When he was ordered to go to the Tingwei Mansion to cooperate with Han Jian in handling the corruption case, he had already realized that Han Jian was also intending to reduce the influence of the case.

"Then why do you continue to implicate the case today?" Gu Weipan asked.

Han Jian said helplessly: "Now that the Xianbei people suddenly invaded our border, don't Chief Gu think this is coincident with the corruption case? If what is expected is right, the Xianbei people will inevitably have some connection with the Northern King. This time, the Xianbei people committed a crime and the Northern King's rebellion is true. If at this time, a group of zombies that endanger our country will be allowed to stay in Luoyang City, and when the Northern King treason and raise their troops to move south, it is probably too late to deal with it."

After Han Jian said that, Gu Weipan's face was a little heavy.

Gu Weipan thought about it carefully and felt that what Han Jian said was somewhat reasonable. The case was suppressed before, mainly because it was very involved and was not conducive to the stability of the country. Now that the Northern King is about to rebel, if he does not find out some people, they will sooner or later become a disaster for the court.

Gu Weipan nodded slightly and said, "I know how to do it."

Han Jian didn't ask in detail, but he probably guessed what Gu Weipan would do.

Han Jian said goodbye with a smile: "I won't bother you, I'll say goodbye."

"No." Gu Weipan had a dark face. His sedan chair had already been ready, so he hurried into the sedan chair. Han Jian watched the sedan chair hurried away, and thought that Gu Weipan should have returned to the auditorium to prepare for something.

Han Jian directly took the guards back to the East Prince Mansion. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw many Tingwei Mansion missions guarding the East Prince Mansion. Lu Fengning, the new Tingwei Mansion, who had just met in the morning, looked at him from afar, as if he was deliberately bringing people to wait for him to come back.
