Zhao Shichuan knew how he got into the position of governor, and these days he had been working hard to be a good governor, If someone came to the government office to complain, of course he couldn't beat someone out without paying attention.

The government servant who was sent out to investigate the matter came back and said that no one was missing from these families, and he asked the neighbors that there were really none, but these people insisted that someone in their family was missing, so he asked the government servant to drive them out to give a little lesson.

Zhao Shichuan played with his mind, he only said to give a little lesson, he didn't say to beat people, he just wanted to get this one out of the way.

There was also a faction of the second prince who stood up to speak for Zhao Shichuan, saying that he had only been in office for a short time, and he wouldn't do such a thing unless he didn't want to be an official in the court.

The officials of Dali Temple who stood by Yin Ji side, thinking that it was even more impossible for Yin Ji to tell lies, and those petitions were evidence.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and almost quarreled.

Emperor Changde became unhappy and shouted: "Quiet."

Theministers shut up for a moment, and Yin Ji spoke again, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to ask Master Zhao a few questions?"

Emperor Changde agreed.

Yin Ji looked at Zhao Shichuan and said, "Master Zhao, did you ask the government servants to find out whether anyone has disappeared in these families recently?"

Zhao Shichuan nodded, "Exactly, the government servants said that there is no one missing from these families."

Yin Ji bowed to Emperor Changde, "Your Majesty, then this matter is not Master Zhao's responsibility. According to my investigation, these missing people were as early as a year ago, and these families have one thing in common, they cut the realationship with the family members who had gambling addiction. Then the former Governor of Shengjing should be held accountable for the disappearance of these people."

"And the family of these missing people who suddenly appeared to report the case were also lured out on purpose. I hope the court can find out where these missing people have gone. The quarry incident was dealt too hastily before, and the people were not even notified to collect the corpses, nor did they find out where these people came from. Now I suspect that the dead people in the quarry may be related to the disappearance of these people. I implore the emperor to hand over this matter to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation!"

Following Yin Ji's words, the second prince's heart sank to the bottom, and he couldn't tell whether Yin Ji was targeting him or he really only wanted to investigate the case.

But as long as Dali Temple took over the case, he would definitely be involved.

The Second Prince himself couldn't come out to stop this matter, so he could only give a hint to the courtiers on his side to stand up and refute.

There were some ministers who used an excuse that these people had been buried, if they opened the coffin for an autopsy, it would be disrespectful to the deceased, but they were quickly blocked by the rumor of the haunted quarry.

Some ministers demanded that the instigator should be found out first before discussing other matters on the ground that someone was deliberately instigating the matter behind the scenes, but they were also blocked back, the person who investigated the incident didn't conflict with the case of the quarry, so there was no need to discuss it later.

The people from the Second Prince's faction racked their brains to try to stop the investigation, but there were many rumors outside, and there were too many hundreds of lives.

Emperor Changde knew very well whose group the people who stood up to stop the investigation. He was too lazy to listen to the nonsense, so he pointed out the second prince and asked, "Second, what do you think about this matter, should we investigate it or not?"

The second prince naturally didn't want this matter to be investigated, but if he said not to investigate, it would prove that he had a ghost in his heart. The second prince had no choice but to pretend to be righteous and considerate for the people, he said "The son thinks that it should be investigated, and it must be thoroughly investigated, so as to give justice to those innocent people. "

Emperor Changde showed a satisfied look, "Okay, then, according to the second child's wishes, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. If anyone dares to interfere, I promise that Dali Temple will arrest people directly, no matter who they are."

Emperor Changde glanced over the crowd, and the courtiers collectively bowed their heads and acted like quails.

After retiring from the morning court, Emperor Changde kept the second prince behind, "Second child, tell me truthfully, does this quarry matter have anything to do with you? "

The second prince knelt down hastily, "Father, emperor, this matter has nothing to do with the son. "

"Really? "Emperor Changde obviously didn't believe it.

" It has nothing to do with the son."

The second prince bit the bullet and continued to swear, it was almost a swearing oath.

Emperor Changde stared at him for a long time before saying, "Get up, I'll trust you this time, second child, don't betray my trust."

"Yes," said the second prince with a loud voice , but his heart was trembling, if he was found out by the people of Dali Temple, his fate would be worse than the crown prince at that time, and his father would never ground him so simply.

As soon as the second prince came out of the Xuanzheng Hall, his face was gloomy, as if he wanted to kill someone.

The incident was revealed suddenly, and the second prince had already guessed who did it. He gritted his teeth and said the names of Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao, and took Xiao Yang to the Wei mansion as soon as he left the palace.

Xiao Yang asked, "Your Highness, you need to bring more people. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the subordinates to silence all the Wei family members."

The second prince looked back at him and sneered, "Silence?, I'm going to beg them not to kill my family now. Your Highness has been silenced!"

Xiao Yang was stunned, "How could it be..."

"These two people are very capable. Bendian only gave them some small lessons, and they want Bendian life. Bendian really underestimates them."

The second prince clenched his fists, his eyes were ruthless as if poisoned.

Of course, he wished to get rid of these two people immediately, but he was even more afraid that all his secrets would be exposed, and then it would be all over.
