Chapter 443: Recalling the Capital
Excluding the leak of Li Jie and his two whereabouts by other yamen, Xie Wang could almost conclude that the person who revealed the news must be related to the Jinyiwei. After all, the Jinyiwei participated the most in the security matters around Li Jie and Zhu Yunxiu, and the most people knew the whereabouts of the two, so the Jinyiwei also had the greatest chance of leaking the news.
In this case, Xie Wang also found Liu Qianhu again, but the Liu Qianhu still warmly received the other party. After the tea was delivered, Xie Wang immediately asked: "Liu Qianhu, I wonder how the Jinyiwei was looking for it, but who was suspected of it was found?"
"This..." Liu Qianhu showed a hesitant look. After a while, he spoke, "I'm not hiding Xie Shaoqing, I have also focused on investigating subordinates during this period. However, Xie Shaoqing, you also know that there are many people in our Jinyiwei, and these people have different identities, and some of them have secrets. It's very difficult to check, so it's not finished now."
"But the other yamen have already checked, and even repeatedly checked it several times. Why is the Jinyiwei so slow?" Xie Wang frowned again and asked after hearing this.
"It's not that we are too slow, but that there were businessmen in the Jinyiwei before, so many people sent out. Now, if we want to investigate these people, we have to recall them again, which has been delayed a lot of time." Liu Qianhu explained again.
Xie Wang suddenly heard Liu Qianhu's refusal and was also angry, but he didn't dare to really turn against the Jinyiwei. After all, if there was a real quarrel, it would be difficult for the Jinyiwei to investigate.
So Xie Wang finally suppressed his anger and asked again: "Liu Qianhu, you have to give him a date. When can you check these people under your command?"
"Ten days, Xie Shaoqing, don't worry. In ten days, I will definitely check everyone's whereabouts clearly!" Liu Qianhu patted his chest and promised, his fat face also had a sincere look.
"Three days! Three days later, I must see the results of everyone's investigation!" Xie Wang said very toughly. He couldn't wait for ten days for so long. In fact, Dali Temple has been putting pressure on him. If he couldn't come up with another result in a short period of time, Dali Temple would probably give him a crime of unfavorable affairs.
"Okay, three days are only three days, and I will definitely give you the investigation results at that time!" Liu Qianhu agreed readily, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liu Qianhu was obviously delaying time.
Of course, Xie Wang could see it, but he did not force him anymore. After saying that, he said goodbye and left. Liu Qianhu also smiled and saw him off in person. It was not until the other party's back disappeared from the corner of the street that Liu Qianhu stood up and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Sir, there is no news yet. What if Xie Wang comes to urge him again in three days?" At this time, a confidant came to Liu Qianhu and spoke in a low voice.
"Send someone to urge me immediately. If the superiors don't give a clear reply, I can only hand over the confession to Dali Temple for disposal!" Liu Qianhu also changed his previous kindness at this time, and his fat face turned purple. He never dreamed that the matter was actually on his side.
"Yes!" The confidant immediately agreed and turned around to do it himself. Liu Qianhu was still thinking about it while standing there, but in the end he could only sigh. He was afraid that he could not escape the responsibility this time, so he could only wait for his hair to fall.
In the next three days, Xie Wang did not wait for the news from the Jinyiwei, but repeatedly verified the situation he had found before to ensure that no errors were made. In addition, he also wanted to expand the case, hoping to find new clues.
Three days passed in a flash, and Xie Wang also came to Liu Qianhu again as promised. However, what he never expected was that when Liu Qianhu saw him, he took the initiative to smile and walked forward and said, "Xie Shaoqing, I'm really embarrassed. I'm afraid I can't do what I promised you before!"
"What does it mean? Liu Qianhu, do you want to break the contract?" Xie Wang was angry again when he heard this, but he still suppressed his anger and asked. If Liu Qianhu really didn't cooperate, he might have to report it to the court.
"Xie Shaoqing must not misunderstand it. It's not that I want to break the contract, but that I just received an order from the superior to hand over the results of the investigation to the capital. The superior also issued a ban on us, strictly prohibiting anyone from discussing this matter!" Liu Qianhu explained again with his hands spread out.
"Old? Who is it? Are you the commanders of your Jinyiwei?" Xie Wang asked again.
"The order was indeed issued by several commanders, but our Jinyiwei only listened to His Majesty's orders. Xie Shaoqing, you should understand this!" Liu Qianhu explained tactfully again. This was obviously what Lao Zhu meant, otherwise several commanders would not dare to issue such orders.
Xie Wang was also stunned when he heard this. If it was His Majesty’s intention, it would be difficult to deal with it. But why did His Majesty stop him from investigating the case? Could it be that this assassination is related to His Majesty? But this is unreasonable. Why did His Majesty the Emperor send assassin to assassinate his grandson and son-in-law?
Just as Xie Wang was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside, and then came to report: "Xie Shaoqing, an imperial edict has been issued in the capital, saying that he would summon you to return to Beijing quickly!"
"What!" Xie Wang stood up in shock when he heard this. The Jinyiwei had just transferred the results of the investigation, and Lao Zhu issued an imperial edict to call him back. This obviously didn't want him to investigate again. Could it be that he really guessed it right?
"Congratulations to Xie Shaoqing. This time I returned to Beijing, maybe Your Majesty will be more useful. Xie Shaoqing will be successful at that time!" Liu Qianhu next to him also said with envy at this time. He obviously knew some inside story. Xie Wang was recalled to the capital. In order to appease him, the court would definitely give some benefits. In contrast, he, Qianhu, was involved in the case. Thinking of this, Liu Qianhu couldn't help but sigh in disgrace.
"Go back to Beijing!" Xie Wang finally woke up from his daze at this time, and repeatedly pondered the story of the incident. At the same time, he was also guessing Lao Zhu's intention. What was the reason for His Majesty the Emperor suddenly issued an order to let him go back. Could it be that there is really something shameful behind this case?
