Chapter 560

The fifty thousand taels from Song Liang's family hadn't been found yet!

Therefore,

the Emperor Li Shimin thought of this, and immediately questioned the head of the Xuanjing Division, Xia Jiang: "Minister Xia, how is the investigation of the Song mansion theft case going?"

Xia Jiang, who was called by name, felt bitter in his heart!

Feeling the gazes of the people around him,

he was very embarrassed.

Because he had gained nothing!

He had taken Ling Buyi away and tortured him!

Finally, helplessly,

Xia Jiang, although unwilling, had to torture other noble children with backgrounds!

Xia Dong and the three had been investigating secretly!

Up to now, there had been no results!

It was as if those hundreds of thousands of taels of silver had grown legs themselves, and were also capable of invisibility, to be able to slip away under the eyes of everyone and under heavy guard!

However, Xia Jiang naturally couldn't say such stupid words.

He had to bite the bullet and step out: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I haven't found anything yet!"

"Hmm??"

This not only surprised the Emperor Li Shimin.

The other civil and military officials were also surprised.

They couldn't help but whisper and discuss it!

【403】 Thank you to the Emperor and Prince Zhongshun for the big gift package! Prince Zhongshun makes a move.

"No way, isn't the Xuanjing Division the institution in our Great Dry that claims to have the best investigative skills?"

"Why can't they even handle such a theft case?"

The civil and military officials whispered.

Sheng Hong and Gao Hu had both heard that Jia Hui and the Xuanjing Division seemed to be at odds, so they followed suit with sarcasm, their voices neither loud nor soft, but they were heard by the Emperor and Xia Jiang and the others.

"They can't even handle such a small case; you have to know that the Marquis of Wushuang, a non-professional, was able to solve many treason cases in just a few days."

"That's right, now they can't even solve a theft case; no wonder the Spring and Autumn Path has been able to hide for many years."

"..."

This remark was not insignificant in its lethality!

It was a critical hit to Xia Jiang!

However,

he couldn't refute it!

Because it was indeed as they said.

For all these years, their Xuanjing Division had

And then this case was indeed not handled well.

It's a pity he was full of confidence before, acting very arrogantly in front of Jia Hui, saying he would definitely be able to solve this case.

Now he has been slapped in the face hard!

Therefore, although he was ashamed and annoyed.

He was unable to refute it!

Ability is the root of all problems!

If you can't solve the case, you can't solve the case!

The key is that he had snatched the case from Jia Hui's hands!

Failing to solve the case in the end made it even more embarrassing and shameful!

"We are incompetent; we ask Your Majesty to punish us!"

Seeing that all the civil and military officials were mocking him, he dared not continue like this, otherwise, there was no telling who might jump out to impeach him.

Thus, Xia Jiang took the initiative to plead guilty.

Taking a deep look at this Xia Jiang.

Emperor Yongshun, sitting high on the dragon throne, had a look of disgust on his face.

Yet he knew he could do nothing to the other party.

He would have liked to dismiss this Xia Jiang, or even cut off his head!

However, he knew this was impossible.

If he dared to do so.

The Retired Emperor would definitely strike back upon finding out!

At that point, it would be he who lost face and dignity.

So Emperor Yongshun said indifferently: "Since this matter was entrusted to you by the Retired Emperor, in that case, go and plead guilty to the Retired Emperor now!"

Speaking of this.

Although hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were not recovered.

Which made him feel some heartache.

But thinking that if this money were recovered by Xia Jiang, it might be snatched away by the Retired Emperor, that heartache lessened significantly.

Therefore.

In Emperor Yongshun's heart, he still felt quite pleased!

It was rare to let the Retired Emperor's faction suffer a setback again!

Refreshing!

And this further proved that Jia Hui's ability was outstanding!

At least in terms of solving cases.

It didn't just crush his own three major agencies.

Even the Retired Emperor's special agencies were inferior!

Previously, because the Retired Emperor's people hadn't participated.

So he hadn't felt it.

Now, however, he felt it incomparably clearly!

This made Emperor Yongshun rely on and trust Jia Hui even more!

【Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining the high trust and appreciation of Emperor Yongshun Li Shiming; rewarded with 400 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.】

【Congratulations to the host, first successful check-in with Emperor Yongshun Li Shiming; obtained Xu Huang.】

This made Jia Hui, who was in the hall, pause: "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and 400 of them? This is truly a massive gain. Adding the previous 100, I now have 500 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry; I can completely fight against a crack army of ten thousand."

Come to think of it!

This was the first time Jia Hui had obtained items from Emperor Yongshun.

He had done many things before.

And had not received any rewards.

He hadn't even successfully checked in once.

Which had left Jia Hui puzzled.

What was going on today?

He had a faint guess in his heart: "Could it be like a game, where after clearing a level or unlocking a certain stage, it is now open?"

If so, this is a good thing!

Checking in with the Emperor!

Wooling the Emperor is much more important than anyone else.

And then there is Xu Huang, one of the Five Elite Generals; he is not much inferior to Zhang Liao.

In memory, this gentleman led his army to repel Guan Yu during the Battle of Fancheng, then closely pursued Guan Yu, and took the opportunity to break through Guan Yu's ten layers of trenches, completely lifting the siege of Fancheng.

Moreover, this man was frugal his whole life, restrained himself strictly, and was very strict with his army, so his army's discipline was excellent; he was even praised by Cao Cao as having the style of Zhou Yafu.
