Chapter 269

Damaged leaves, pressed and broken traces.

Clearly, this area was the place where the ambush occurred before.

Ge Nie's figure shuttled between the tall trees.

He soon discovered some hidden traces between these trees.

On several large trees, the branches seemed to have been broken by pressure.

Clearly, before when transporting the silver, many people were hiding in the large trees, waiting for the rabbit.

But he only discovered the traces of the silver transport and the traces left by the people hiding here.

Yet he simply didn't discover how the remaining silver disappeared here.

One hundred thousand taels of silver.

If one wanted to move it away, it would inevitably leave traces on the muddy ground.

But the ground here didn't leave any traces.

Not even traces of having been renovated.

At this time, in order to clean up the traces left behind, someone would specifically renovate the road they walked on again.

Striving to make the road walked on have no difference from the road beside it.

But these, in the eyes of experts, would still leave some slight traces.

Ge Nie considered himself an expert among experts.

He really didn't expect that here, he actually didn't discover any traces.

"Suspicious..."

………

"What did you say?"

Made Ying Zheng clutched his chest, feeling his anger rising up again.

He thought Ge Nie would definitely find that one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Yet he didn't expect that Ge Nie went out to investigate, but also didn't find that one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"Do you have any discoveries?"

Made Ying Zheng took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his emotions.

"In the forest, I saw traces of silver transport."

"Including those people who ambushed there, the traces left behind can also be found."

"But there is one point that is very suspicious."

"After those people knocked out all the people transporting the silver, how did they transport the silver away?"

"At the scene, I simply didn't discover any traces of the silver being transported away."

Ge Nie's complexion also didn't look very good.

This actually counted as one of his strengths.

But he actually stumbled on this strength.

"Then what do you think?"

Made Ying Zheng's eyes turned gloomy.

"The person who completed this matter is absolutely an expert among experts."

On this point, Ge Nie was very certain.

"As long as one can find how they transported the silver away, finding that batch of silver is only a matter of time."

"Are you confident?"

Facing Made Ying Zheng's inquiry, Ge Nie hesitated.

In such matters, he should be the most confident, but this time he hesitated.

"I am."

After hesitating for a while, Ge Nie still answered affirmatively.

He would definitely find clues.

"Then this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible for in private."

Made Ying Zheng waved his hand, a look of exhaustion appearing on his face.

After Ge Nie nodded, he immediately left this place.

Zhang Han injured, Ge Nie going to be responsible for this matter, Made Ying Zheng had no one to use by his side for a time.

A hint of contemplation flashed in Made Ying Zheng's eyes.

The silver was really lost.

Even he could not find the traces of the silver.

Li Si,

Thinking of him, a hint of suspicion flashed in Made Ying Zheng's eyes.

He was not sure whether this matter was really done by Li Si.

If it was done by Li Si, then his doing so was clearly sending this batch of silver into Li Si's hands.

Thinking of this, a look of anger appeared in Made Ying Zheng's eyes.

If he could investigate that this matter was really related to Li Si.

Hmph!

He would make Li Si regret coming into this world.

………

"Your Majesty, Young Master Prince Fusu has come."

Someone outside the door said.

Ever since Made Ying Zheng's body became increasingly weak, he did not allow anyone to enter his room.

All the servants only dared to stand at the door to pass messages.

"Let him in."

A weak yet majestic voice came from inside.

Young Master Prince Fusu, after many days, once again came into Made Ying Zheng's sleeping palace.

"Father Emperor."

Facing this son of his, Made Ying Zheng raised his eyes slightly.

Compared to before, at this moment, Young Master Prince Fusu had already lost a few points of the weakness of a scholar.

"It seems that putting you by Meng Tian's side was still somewhat useful."

"... Finally looking a bit more spirited, and without those corrupt airs of a scholar."

Looking at this son of his, Made Ying Zheng was finally somewhat satisfied.

"The son has been by General Meng Tian's side recently, handling affairs in the army."

"General Meng Tian's help to the son has also been quite large."

Young Master Prince Fusu said honestly.

What he originally liked most was the "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye" spoken of in books.

But ever since following by General Meng Tian's side, he had witnessed a life detached from books.

"Father Emperor, I heard that the one hundred thousand in disaster relief silver has gone missing."

Young Master Prince Fusu hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.

He came this time because he heard that Father Emperor was furious because of this matter.

It seemed that quite a few people had died at Father Emperor's hands because of this matter.

Prince Fusu did not want to see his Father Emperor increase his killing sins in vain anymore.

So he took the initiative to come this time, wanting to inquire about this matter, hoping that he could contribute a little effort in this matter.

"That is correct."

Made Ying Zheng said calmly.

With the previous paving, his emotions had already approached stability.

But Young Master Prince Fusu could still feel a gripping sense of oppression from Made Ying Zheng.

"I once heard that many commoners saw with their own eyes that the silver all sank into the moat."

"If this case still has no clues, Father Emperor might as well inquire of those commoners at the time." ===== CHAPTER 271 =====
