I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess

Chapter 1483



1483 First day on the job!

They warmly invited the two of them to sit down.

after talking to his parents, they got to the main topic and arranged his duties.

“there’s something i need you to do,” lei yuantai added.

“Go ahead,”

” on the night of the 12th sword’s wedding, the ministry of revenue was robbed. 100 million taels of silver and some precious treasures disappeared. we are responsible for this case. we have been investigating for a few days, but there are still no clues. i want to hand it over to you. what do you think? ”

“this case doesn’t seem to be within the scope of my duty, right?”

“Yes.” lei yuantai nodded.

” the deputy sword master who was in charge of this case has been killed by the murderer. if you still don’t come, we’ll have to discuss and let someone else take charge of this matter. ”

“a vice sword master was killed? how come i’ve never heard of this?” xiao ran frowned.

Shen Yiming rolled his eyes at him and continued, ” “you still have the nerve to say that? you’ve been so busy these past few days that even if i wanted to look for you, you wouldn’t have the time.”

Xiao ran was speechless.

It was true. Shen Yiming had looked for him twice. At that time, he was really busy and didn’t have time to receive them, so he found an excuse to decline.

it was probably because of the theft of the ministry of revenue and the murder of the deputy sword head.

However …

They had sealed off the news very well. Such a big thing had happened, but he had not heard about it.

“what do you think? if you don’t want to take over, i’ll arrange for someone else.” Lei Yuantai said.

“Alright! i’ll take it. ” Xiao ran nodded.

he left his palace.

The higher-ups wanted to move him to a new office, but Xiao ran rejected them. His old courtyard was more comfortable.

after parting with shen yiming, he was also a vice sword master and had his own work to do. he brought xiao zhou and a group of people with him and rushed to the ministry of revenue.

on the road.

Like a bird, little Zhou kept on talking and told them everything that had happened to the divine sword guards.

after listening.

Xiao ran had an idea. He was still the same as before, but he was busier.

especially after snatching a province from zhou, some of the martial arts powerhouses of zhou felt aggrieved and wanted to vent their anger on great xia. they sneaked into the capital city and either caused destruction or killed people.

at the beginning, the commotion was huge and caught great xia by surprise. it did cause great xia to suffer a great loss. as the imperial court operated and the five major departments took over the matter, the situation became better and these people were suppressed one after another.

“brother xiao, do you think this was done by the people of xia country?” Little Zhou asked.

“it’s hard to say anything before we determine the truth.”

While they were talking.

everyone had already arrived at the ministry of revenue. this was not the first time they had been here. before this, xiao ran had been here twice, but both times, it had been very unpleasant.

seeing the arrival of the divine sword guards, the left assistant minister, who was in charge of the ministry of revenue, immediately came forward to welcome them. he had just been transferred from the ministry of rites. as for the original minister of revenue and the others, after the ministry of revenue was robbed, they were all taken down and locked up in the imperial prison.

it was only because xiao ran hadn’t been to the imperial prison for the past two days. otherwise, he would have found out about what had happened here.

“Greetings, Lord Marquis!” the left assistant minister bowed respectfully.

“take me to the treasury.”

“lord marquis, this way please!”

Under his lead, they walked around and stopped at the warehouse.

the surroundings were sealed off, and there was a seal on the door. the scene was well protected. even so, when the murderer left, he destroyed the scene. from the looks of it, there was no useful information at all.

xiao ran stepped forward and checked them one by one. he then removed the seal and entered the warehouse to check again. he looked very carefully, not missing a single spot.

he spent some time to check the warehouse.

“Brother Xiao, do you have any clues?” little zhou asked impatiently.

although he had a family and had matured a lot, he was still the same as before in front of his own people. he would ask whatever he wanted to ask. this had not changed.

“to the imperial prison.” Xiao ran said.

After leading them out of the Ministry of Revenue, the left Assistant Minister wanted to ask something, but because his position was too low, he did not dare to ask.

They arrived at the Imperial prison.

He ordered the rest of the divine sword guards to stand guard outside while he and little Zhou went in.

“brother xiao, why are you guys here?” zhang yu quickly put down his teacup and walked up to him.

“The Ministry of Revenue.” xiao ran said.

“brother xiao, did the divine sword guards put you in charge of this?”

“yes.”

we caught a lot of people this time, including the Minister of Revenue. There are more than 20 people arrested, all of whom are the higher-ups of the Ministry of Revenue. It can be said that the Ministry of Revenue has been caught in one fell swoop. According to the requirements of the higher-ups, these people are all locked up on the eighth floor. Zhang Yu introduced.

“let’s go!”

he brought them to the eighth floor.

He sat on the chair and asked Zhang Yu to bring the Minister of Revenue.

from the high and mighty minister of revenue, he had been reduced to a prisoner overnight. he was locked up in the imperial prison and in the harsh environment of the eighth floor. he had to be tortured by the people who interrogated him. to him, living was worse than death.

However, if he didn’t resolve this matter, he would carry a bad reputation for the rest of his life. Even if he died, he would be criticized behind his back. Even his family and the three clans would be killed. This was the reason why he had been holding on.

The Minister of Revenue no longer had any hope of being interrogated again.

it had been a few days since the incident, but these people from the imperial court were good. they bragged more than anything else on a daily basis. when it came to a critical time, they were asked to solve the case, but they did not come up with any rules.

Up until now, they didn’t even have a single clue, let alone catch the murderer.

He was brought over by Zhang Yu like a walking corpse and stopped in front of Xiao ran.

“lord, lord marquis?”

The Minister of Revenue’s eyes lit up as he called out excitedly.

He had heard of Xiao ran’s name countless times. He was also present when the heavens conferred him the title in the hall.

seeing that he was here, he thought of xiao ran’s other official position, the vice sword master of the divine sword guards. in that case, wouldn’t this matter be handed over to him to manage?

he was like a drowning child who saw hope and felt that he could get out of this place for the first time.

“sit.” xiao ran pointed at the chair opposite him.

A jailer pulled out a chair and unlocked the chains on his hands and feet, letting him sit opposite.

she poured a cup of tea from the teapot and placed it in front of him.

“Thank you!” the minister of revenue was grateful.

after being reduced to a prisoner, he once again felt respect. the person opposite him was still xiao ran, a noble of great xia.

he finished the tea in one gulp.

“Is this what the Marquis is here for?” he asked seriously as he put down his teacup.

“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.

“I’m in charge of this matter now. Tell me everything you know.”

The Minister of Revenue didn’t hide anything and truthfully told him what happened.

he learned from him that the day was the same as usual and nothing out of the ordinary happened. however, in the latter half of the night, the divine sword guards barged in and captured him and his family. they also told him that the ministry of revenue had been robbed, 100 million taels of silver had disappeared, and there were some precious treasures.

to him, this news was simply a nightmare. it was like a disaster falling from the sky while he was sitting at home, and he was beaten to dust in an instant.

Finished speaking.

The Minister of Revenue looked at him quietly, not daring to interrupt Xiao ran’s analysis.

“Take him away and take good care of him.” Xiao ran ordered.

Zhang Yu waved his hand, and the jailer took him away.

After he disappeared, Xiao Zhou asked the question in his heart, ” “brother xiao, do you really believe him?”

The storeroom was protected by an array. Other than him, no one else knew about the array technique. However, from the signs that they had checked, the array technique was intact and had not been destroyed by external forces. It was obvious that someone had opened the array technique and entered.

“yes.” xiao ran nodded.

“Whether a person is lying or not, you can tell by looking at his eyes. If he’s really lying, he’ll give himself away no matter how hard he tries to hide it. ”

at his level, he had seen too many things. he could tell at a glance whether a person was lying or not.

It was precisely because of this that he was allowed to sit down and had the subsequent instructions.

“Bring the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue here.”
