Chapter 1496: Three Days Means Three Days

~8 min read 1,474 words

The Six Shanmen went on official business, and the efficiency of handling affairs was much faster than private investigation.

The investigation into the gold ring soon made progress.

Relying on the guidance of professional personnel, they soon found the shop that made the gold ring, as well as the craftsman. And they got their confession!

Afterward, the brothers of the Six Shanmen also got the confession of the academy teacher, and the confession of Dou Anzhi's former classmates and friends. They also got the confession of the Dou family's collateral branch.

At this time, the investigation had basically been laid out on the table.

It's just that "Dou Anzhi" in the capital didn't know, and the Ministry of Justice didn't know either.

Chen Guanlou communicated directly with the brothers of the Six Shanmen, and the investigation report and confessions were all sent to his hands.

With the confessions and the gold ring as evidence, it could already be determined that the tall skeleton was, without any surprises, the real Dou Anzhi. The current Dou Anzhi was impersonated by someone.

Expose it?

How to expose it?

Eunuch Wang Hai was well-informed and ran over to share his worries.

"This matter is easy! There is not a single official whose butt is clean, and the one surnamed Dou is no exception. I can help arrange for two censors to impeach him, taking the opportunity to expose the fact that he is impersonating an official."

"How to expose it?"

"He is a Jinshi, so naturally, we will expose it from the essays."

"I'm afraid that won't work!" Chen Guanlou shook his head, "For so many years, his handwriting and the real Dou Anzhi's have long been integrated, and the true and false cannot be distinguished. Even the teacher at the academy praised him for being the best at imitation. As for the essays, since he was a valet by Dou Anzhi's side, since he dared to impersonate, he must have already memorized all the essays. The only thing he won't be able to recite is the imperial examination essays. It can be completely said that it has been a long time and he doesn't remember, which is also understandable. The real breakthrough is actually this gold ring."

Chen Guanlou picked up the gold ring through the handkerchief.

This investigation not only confirmed the identity of the skeleton through the gold ring but also had an important discovery. The real purpose of this ring was actually a token.

What kind of token it was and what it was used for had not been found out yet. It must be about the secrets inside the Dou family.

Only in this way could it be explained why the valet didn't know the importance of this ring.

If he knew the ring was a token, he couldn't have sat by and watched the ring be buried in the dirt and never see the light of day.

Eunuch Wang Hai stared at the ring in his hand, "What is the use of this ring?"

Chen Guanlou chuckled, "Look at the inside, these patterns don't look special, right. After asking the craftsman, I found out that these patterns are actually marks, to be precise, they can be considered the Dou family's emblem."

"The Dou family is such a small family, and they still have a family emblem." Eunuch Wang Hai wanted to mock, but felt it was not appropriate. After all, the person was dead, and his identity was impersonated, his family property was occupied, and his clansmen were also harmed. Only one girl was left alive in the world, miserable!

This is the most miserable man he has ever seen.

The miserable point is not in death, but in the series of consequences after death. Lingchi is not as miserable as this.

Lingchi is at least a clear punishment, no need to worry about being used to do evil after death.

"After all, the ancestors were rich. The valet must recognize the Dou family's emblem, but he may not know what the emblem represents. We can bluff him!"

"What if he knows?"

"I have already arranged for people to investigate the whereabouts of the other five servants. There were seven servants who followed Dou Anzhi out of the capital to return home for mourning. One died, and excluding the valet, five remained. These five must be people who know the truth; finding one will open the breakthrough."

Eunuch Wang Hai sighed, "It's really troublesome. According to what you said, we still need to continue investigating?"

"With physical evidence, there must be human evidence." Chen Guanlou said lightly.

"What if the human evidence is also dead?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Let's do as you said, let the censors impeach Dou Anzhi and make him move."

Eunuch Wang Hai laughed, "That's very good."

"Don't laugh so lewdly, like a villain." Chen Guanlou disliked the other party for lowering his grade.

Eunuch Wang Hai didn't care, "I found that you are very capable of causing trouble. In the future, if I retire, I can really follow you."

"When you retire, do you have any human connections? Without human connections, I don't want you." Chen Guanlou was not polite at all. At this moment, he firmly refused to recognize the brother of a different father and mother, a typical person who uses people when facing forward and doesn't use people when facing backward.

Eunuch Wang Hai knew his dog temper and didn't care about him, generous!

A eunuch's belly can hold a boat!

"You underestimate me! I have been in the palace since I was a child, and after decades, I didn't work in vain. I can reach the heavens, and I can also deliver messages to His Majesty."

"Since you can deliver messages to His Majesty, why don't you package the story of the Dou family, package it into a storybook, and tell it to His Majesty."

Chen Guanlou instantly opened up his train of thought.

Not only can it be told to Emperor Jian Shi, but it can also be told to everyone in the world.

What story spreads the fastest?

Of course, it is bloody and abusive love, written into a storybook, with the background color of this story, it is guaranteed to spread all over the world.

At that time, without him needing to exert effort, he could press the fake Dou Anzhi to death and avenge the Dou family!

Do it as soon as you say it.

Use silver to open the way, and the efficiency doubles.

Eunuch Wang Hai was a bit confused, "Are you really going to do it?"

"Of course! I never joke about this kind of thing. Just tell me if you are going to do it or not?"

Eunuch Wang Hai hesitated for a moment, "How about, write the book first. You can't have a story before a book, His Majesty will definitely suspect. His Majesty is already suspicious, His Majesty must operate carefully, so as not to be counterproductive."

Chen Guanlou nodded, "Reasonable! After the book comes out, I will notify you. Eunuch Wang, things have reached this point, you can't retreat. You are my brother Wang!"

Eunuch Wang Hai:...

Brother Wang when there is something, Eunuch Wang when there is nothing!

It really is a dog temper!

But he still leaned over, he was really cheap!

He hummed twice, expressing dissatisfaction. Then he said: "Don't worry, I definitely won't retreat!"

"That's very good!"

Chen Guanlou spent money, found a fallen scholar, simply told the story, and put forward the requirements, "Write a book, just write according to the story I told you, must write it so that readers can't stop, moving and soul-stirring. If you write well, these fifty taels are your writing fee. If the effect is good, I will give you a red envelope. How about it?"

The scholar had never seen such a generous employer, nodded repeatedly, and agreed with joy.

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, this matter is on me. I am best at writing books, and many of the books I wrote sold extremely hotly."

"So hot, why are you still poor and down-and-out?" Chen Guanlou is best at punishing hearts.

"Hey! Let Lord Chen laugh, it's all my fault for not being able to control myself, I drank and gambled when I had a little money."

The fallen scholar looked like he regretted it. After he got the money, he would definitely repeat his old tricks and continue to drink and gamble.

"Can you finish writing in three days?"

"Three days? Wouldn't it be too..."

"Finish writing in three days, I will add twenty taels to your writing fee."

"Can! Three days means three days! Even if I don't eat or drink, I will finish writing the book!" ===== CHAPTER 1497 =====
