The night of October was already chilly.
In the evening, Du Qi wore a fur robe and waited quietly in the backyard of the restaurant. When he returned from the prison, he had already asked Jin Wuque to arrange for someone to meet Li Daquan's woman and take back all the account books.
With these account books, there would be evidence.
As for Xie Zhizhou being a member of the Eastern Palace, Du Qi was not willing to get involved. Because it was not the right choice to touch the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Even though Li Jiancheng was now somewhat hated by Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng was still the eldest son of the first wife.
With this identity, unless Li Jiancheng made a huge mistake, it would be very difficult for him to be removed from his position as Crown Prince.
Even if Du Qi did not mention the relationship between Xie Zhizhou and the Eastern Palace, with Li Yuan's experience, he would have some reaction. If Du Qi did not mention it, Li Yuan might feel guilty, and his hatred for Li Jiancheng would gradually increase.
This was like the eruption of a volcano.
It needed to be accumulated bit by bit.
It needed time to prepare.
On the day of the eruption, everything would explode, and Li Jiancheng would be dealt with severely by Li Yuan. So now, it only needed to be aggravated a little bit, and Li Yuan's dislike for Li Jiancheng would be completed.
It was already close to dawn, and Jin Wuque had not returned yet. Du Qi was still reading, waiting quietly.
Liu Jian and Mordor were guarding the door.
The two of them were also waiting.
"Ta! Ta! "
A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard. It was Jin Wuque who had returned. With a bright smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, I have brought back the things."
With that, he handed over the book he had just received.
There were two books.
One book was the account book of the money distributed by the casino to Xie Zhiman and Xie Zhizhou. The other book was the various crimes that Xie Zhiman had committed, as well as the matters that Xie Zhizhou had personally resolved.
The existence of these two books was irrefutable evidence.
After receiving the books, Du Qi's heart was completely at ease. He said, "Let's go, let's go back to the residence. I have been busy today and have not written a draft. I have to write the latest chapter of the book, and we can enter the palace tomorrow. "
He left with Liu Jian and Mordor.
Back at home, Du Qi was in high spirits. Taking advantage of the time, he quickly began to write a draft. While he was writing, the door creaked open, and Du Ruhui entered.
Du Qi looked over and saw Du Ruhui. He asked, "Father, why are you here?"
Du Ruhui said, "You were called to the county yamen by Xie Zhizhou. How can father not come? Xie Zhizhou intended to frame you and put you in prison. Do you have the confidence to resist this? "
Du Qi chuckled. "Father, I'm not resisting, I'm counterattacking. Don't worry, I've already taken care of it. It's fine if Xie Zhizhou doesn't find trouble with me. Since he was looking for trouble, then he would deal with him. I've already arranged everything. I'll get him to move tomorrow. "
Du Ruhui knew what his son was capable of.
Not even Wang Chong would have been able to heavily injure the Turks on his own. To put it bluntly, Du Ruhui no longer treated Du Qi as a child. Instead, he treated him as an adult.
Du Ruhui took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Du Qi. "I won't interfere in your matter of dealing with Xie Zhizhou. But here's some information that you can use as a reference. You can also arrange for your men to investigate. This information came from the Duke of Qin's Manor. "
Du Qi opened the letter and quickly browsed through it.
The letter recorded evidence of Xie Zhizhou sending money to the Eastern Palace. Xie Zhizhou had already sent 100,000 strings of cash to the Eastern Palace in the short time he took office.
This wasn't a small amount.
However, this money came mainly from the casinos. It was sent to Xie Zhizhou by Xie Hun after Li Daquan ran the casinos. Then, Xie Zhizhou sent it to the Eastern Palace.
Apart from this, Xie Zhizhou had never been corrupt in the officialdom. This was because it was easy to be exposed in the officialdom. Letting Xie Hun run the casinos and brothels was also a way to make money.
Du Qi finished reading the letter. "It looks like the Eastern Palace finally understands that it's impossible to make money by running tea shops and restaurants. That's why they took another route!"
Du Ruhui said in a low voice, "The Eastern Palace made this arrangement because Wang Minzhi was transferred away. When Wang Minzhi was here, the Eastern Palace couldn't have made such arrangements. It would have been easy to beat them. "
Du Qi said, "Father, this involves Wang Minzhi's transfer. The way I see it, Wang Minzhi's appointment as Chang 'an's magistrate is extremely important. Compared to being an official, it's more appropriate for him to stay in Chang 'an. Having the Duke of Qin's men at the foot of the Son of Heaven would be of great help to him. But why did the Duke of Qin let him go? "
Du Ruhui shook his head and sighed. "The Eastern Palace planned this out in an open and aboveboard manner. They didn't play any tricks. After all, Wang Minzhi has made contributions. Shouldn't he be promoted?"
"Someone in the Eastern Palace suggested promoting Wang Minzhi. How could the Duke of Qin refuse?"
"If the Duke of Qin refused, it would mean that he didn't care about Wang Minzhi's future. What would Wang Minzhi think then? If the Duke of Qin did everything for the sake of the greater good, he would make his own men suffer. In the end, there wouldn't be so many people following the Duke of Qin. "
"The Duke of Qin agreed to this," Du Ruhui said.
"In fact, when Wang Minzhi received the transfer order, he took the initiative to approach the Duke of Qin. He wasn't willing to be an official and was willing to stay in Chang 'an as a magistrate. After all, Wang Minzhi would be of great help to the Duke of Qin. But in the end, the Duke of Qin agreed to let Wang Minzhi be an official. "
Du Qi said, "Wang Minzhi cares about the greater good. The Duke of Qin is benevolent and righteous. Wang Minzhi naturally can't stay. The Eastern Palace's plan is indeed ingenious. It's good that they arranged for Xie Zhizhou to come. Unfortunately, there's a flaw in Xie Zhizhou's plan this time. "
Du Ruhui said, "You can use the contents of the letter. I've asked the Duke of Qin about this. "
"No, I don't need it!"
Du Qi shook his head in response.
Du Ruhui was surprised to hear this. "Erlang, why don't you use it? Are you worried about implicating the Duke of Qin and making His Majesty think that he's trying to deal with the Eastern Palace? The Duke of Qin said that you don't need to worry about it. As long as you can vent your anger, that's enough. Even if His Majesty thinks that the Duke of Qin is trying to deal with the Eastern Palace, it's fine. "
"There's no need!"
Du Qi said, "I don't want to use it because I don't want to implicate the Eastern Palace and the Duke of Qin. Because if I'm implicated in this matter, His Majesty will inevitably feel conflicted. After all, His Majesty doesn't want to see the Eastern Palace and the Duke of Qin fight. Therefore, the Eastern Palace can't be implicated. Otherwise, things won't be easy. "
Du Ruhui said, "My son is righteous!"
In truth, he didn't want Du Qi to use this information either. Because once this information was used, it would no longer be limited to Du Qi and Xie Zhizhou, but also the Eastern Palace and the Duke of Qin.
This was the tricky part.
Du Qi continued, "Father, when your son does things, I have always sought revenge for the smallest grievance. Xie Zhizhou wants to deal with me, the Eastern Palace wants to deal with me. I won't let them deal with me. I want revenge. Because the less I implicate the Eastern Palace, the more I can deal with them. "
"Hahaha …"
Du Ruhui laughed when he heard this. His face was full of gratification. "My son is smart. I can't compare to you. You've seen through this matter. "
With Du Ruhui's shrewdness, he immediately understood. Previously, he had been too concerned about his son and hadn't thought things through. Now, he understood.
