Chapter 1612: Why Bother?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was indeed one of the secret letters Qiu Pusheng had written to Fan Jianxi. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

There was also Qiu Pusheng’s private seal on it, which was irrefutable evidence that it was from him.

When Fan Jianxi wrote to Butler Fan and asked him to report it to the higher-ups, the long letter mentioned that the things that Qiu Pusheng had written to him had been taken away. The note said that it had all the evidence from the secret room. Now that there was a letter with irrefutable evidence, Shi Che had to believe that those things were taken by the person who had shot the arrow.

He even specifically mentioned people who had brought more letters…

It seemed that those things were really in the porridge stall in front of the government office.

Shi Che hurriedly brought along a few of his most loyal followers. They left the government office and went to the porridge stall in front of the government office to check if the letter’s contents were true.

It was dark under the porridge stall, but because Shi Che and the others had torches in their hands, they immediately started searching with ease. They could see piles of evidence, as well as a small wooden box that contained evidence. Several large wooden boxes contained Fan Jianxi’s greed.

The people’s wealth could all be converted into silver and returned to the people so that the people would suffer fewer losses. The evidence could be used to convict almost all the officials involved in this matter, regardless of whether they were high or low officials, or whether they were the masterminds or accomplices.

Shi Che was overjoyed.

“Are you sure there was no one around?” Shi Che asked the guard at the gate after he had all these things moved into the government office. “No one at all? Can you be certain?”

The soldiers guarding the gate shook their heads, indicating that they were sure no one would come by.

“A man of benevolence and righteousness.” Shi Che sighed.

“Your Highness, why didn’t you send someone to investigate?” The attendant asked.

“There’s no clue at all. How can we?” Shi Che asked. “Besides, what he did was not a bad thing. Fortunately, he brought the evidence to the right person. Otherwise, Fan Jianxi would have taken the initiative to atone for his crimes and miss out on certain things. Now that I have all this, he wants me to bring those pests to justice. He’s a righteous man. And by doing this, it’s obvious that he doesn’t want us to know who he is. Since he went through all of that, why should I investigate?”

“Yes.” The attendant agreed and no longer asked if he wanted to investigate this matter.

When they returned to the government office, Shi Che ordered people to sort out the evidence and register them one by one. He also recorded the things in the big boxes.

He wrote a letter to the Emperor and told him about this. Then, he got someone to deliver it to the capital.

…

Since they had already given the things in the secret chamber to Shi Che, the couple now had nothing to do. The people of Lizhou were very happy now, and the people of Stone Village were certainly no exception. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not return to Stone Village to celebrate. They began to look for people again.

Since the missing person notices had been posted and distributed in the area around Lizhou, there was no need to post and distribute them anymore. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to the neighboring prefecture in the area around Lizhou.

The province next door was called Pinzhou. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went straight to the capital of Pinzhou. Then they hired people and carriages in the prefecture and posted and distributed missing person notices everywhere in Pinzhou.

…

Shi Yuan received an urgent letter from his younger brother, Shi Che.

He knew that the things in the secret chamber were secretly placed in the porridge stall in front of the government office and a mysterious person even lured his brother to get them. Therefore, now that those things were in his brother’s hands, the officials involved could be punished with irrefutable evidence. None of them could prove their innocence, and there was no way to deny it. He was happy.
