"Prime Minister Wen said that the eldest princess has always been domineering, and the ministers in the court have been suffering from her for a long time. Those of the eldest princess's faction do not really surrender to her, but more like they have something in their hands."
handle?
Wen Ranran frowned, an idea flashed through her mind very quickly, but unfortunately, she couldn't catch it.
"By the way, there is something I need to return to you."
Xia Lishuang took out a palace card from her sleeve and handed it to Wen Ranran.
It was Wen Yuwan who lent it to Wen Ranran.
Wen Ranran took it blankly and stared at the palace card, her heart suddenly brightening.
"I see!"
"Wen Yuwan told me! She said that her mother had a very precious account book that was never allowed to be touched by outsiders. She had just learned to read when she was a child, and she secretly looked at it and saw that the names of officials were written on it. She wanted to come here
It’s just a record of the ministers’ excuses!”
Xia Lishuang's eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes lit up.
"So, as long as we find the eldest princess's book recording the ministers' accusations, they will betray her and expose the shady things that the eldest princess has done."
The tone was very affirmative.
Wen Ranran nodded, "As long as we have this thing, it won't be difficult to bring down the eldest princess. Mr. Wu Shisan, how is your investigation going?"
"My people followed the Liuye secret guards and found that they transported five stones in bulk to the basement of Zhuangzi outside the city, but that might just be a temporary hiding spot."
Xia Lishuang said this.
Wen Ranran pondered for a moment and told Xia Lishuang what Wan Guangsheng said in prison.
"Wan Guangsheng said that if there is no money in the bank he is in charge of, what will there be?"
Xia Lishuang's eyes were as bright as lightning, and she softly uttered a few words with her thin lips.
"Five stones scattered!"
Wen Ranran nodded in agreement.
"That's what I mean too."
"But Mr. Xiang, why do you think the emperor insists on letting Jing Zhaoyin investigate the case instead of the Twelve Investigations?"
Obviously Twelve's ability is much better than that idiot Huang Shaoling!
This is something Wen Ranran can't understand.
…
The secret prison of the county prince's palace.
Shen Tong was placed on the torture rack, his eyes were wet, and he looked at Wen Ranran with grievance.
"You, you, you vicious woman!"
Xia Lishuang stood aside, as if watching a play.
Wen Ranran stood beside Xia Lishuang and clapped her hands briskly.
"Oh, it's just a little tickling powder, but you can't stand it anymore? Look how kind I am, I didn't even torture you!"
Wen Ranran smiled harmlessly.
Shen Tong's face was twisted, and he stared at Wen Ranran, as if thousands of ants were crawling over his body, and his bones were itchy.
But unfortunately, he was tied up and couldn't be scratched...
This feeling is like you have been hit by an aphrodisiac, and a beauty as beautiful as a flower is dangling in front of you, but you can't catch it.
"you……"
Shen Tong was short of breath, but he couldn't resist the heartbreaking itch on his body.
"What on earth are you going to do?!"
"It's simple... let's make a deal?"
Xia Lishuang walked up to Shen Tong with an indifferent expression.
"What deal?"
"I can let you go, but I need you to help me investigate something."
Xia Lishuang's smile did not change, but what she said made Shen Tong's expression change instantly.
Shen Tong was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "How can I, a seven-foot man, betray my master!"
"Oh? I didn't realize you were such a strong-willed person. I still have some itchy powder here. It's the essence version I made. Do you want some more?"
"I……"
Shen Tongqi was exhausted and finally defeated.
"I promise you!"
Wen Ranran laughed lightly, casually snapped her fingers, and the medicinal powder smoked into the tip of Shen Tong's nose, and the numb and itchy feeling gradually disappeared.
Xia Lishuang, who was standing aside, cut off the chains binding his hands and feet.
Shen Tong moved his joints and still looked at the two people suspiciously.
"Okay, now you can go back!"
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows and pointed in the direction of the door with her chin.
Shen Tong looked at the door and then at himself, still a little unbelievable.
"You really want to let me go?"
"No, no, no!" Wen Ranran raised a finger, "I'm threatening you!"
Shen Tong scratched his head, what kind of threat is this?
