"As for Chu Xue'er's matter, Ling'er is willing to be used by the Crown Princess."
Chu Yunxi looked at An Ling'er who was also smiling and said what she said was really beautiful. Are you willing to use it for her?
They just want to use her hand to eradicate Chu Xueer, Princess An, but their goals are the same.
"If you have any news in the future, please send it to this box and I will come to pick it up. By the way, don't forget Aunt Liu, she may be more difficult to deal with than Chu Xue'er, so be careful."
"Thank you, Princess, for reminding me."
Although she was curious as to why Aunt Liu lived in Prince An's Mansion, if Chu Yunxi hadn't reminded her, she would have never cared about the insignificant Aunt Liu.
"Then I'll leave first."
After An Ling'er said goodbye and left, Chu Yunxi drank a few more cups of tea before getting up and returning home.
She originally just wanted to make Xiao Zhang stupid and stop harming people, but she didn't expect that Xiao Guogong actually killed Xiao Zhang's life with his own hands.
Duke Xiao Guogong has no heir, and he wonders if he can still make a big splash. Next, she has to find out the true identity of Aunt Liu.
Touching the moiré black jade in her sleeve, thinking of what Jun Lingyun said when he handed the black jade to her, a warm current surged through her heart. Chu Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled,
Jun Lingyun, who was in the East Palace, naturally knew about it, but what he didn't know was that Xiao Zhang's sudden disaster was actually led by his Crown Princess Chu Yunxi.
"Go and check Baihua Building to see if there is anything suspicious."
Jun Lingyun told Bai Xiao that it was said that Xiao Zhang came out of Wanhua Tower before his accident. There might be some connection there. There might be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Wanhua Tower.
"Yes, I still have something to report. I received news that the layout of the capital city betrayed by Jing Zhaoyin appeared in the palace of the crown prince of Dongyi Kingdom, Dongfang Muze."
Jun Lingyun raised his eyes and frowned at Bai Xiao, the crown prince of Dongyi Kingdom, Dongfang Muze? Ha, the transfer was quite fast.
"Increase patrols in Beijing and strengthen defense. Especially in places where no one was previously stationed, additional personnel are secretly deployed to patrol in civilian clothes."
After trying so hard to get their layout map of the capital, they just wanted to go straight to Huanglong and catch them by surprise.
"Can you find out where the dirty silver went?"
They have been investigating this matter for more than a day or two, and they should have some insights.
"According to the people at Wanjia Inn, all 200,000 taels of silver will be kept by Jingzhao Yin for the time being. When the storm passes, 60,000 taels will be given to the Minister of War and 100,000 taels to King An. Jingzhao has not been found yet.
Where is Yin hiding?"
If the enemy doesn't move, why don't I? Keeping the money in one place quietly is really the best way to avoid being traced.
Bai Xiao cupped his fists and asked for instructions: "Master, what should we do next?"
"Get some carriages, bring some big boxes into the palace, and let out the news that we have seized two hundred thousand taels of embezzled silver. Send people to keep an eye on Jing Zhaoyin to see what he does. Also, don't let him die.
"
After Jing Zhaoyin was reinstated, he became more courageous than before. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince had already thoroughly investigated him and fined him, so he should not be keeping an eye on him anymore.
However, Wanjia Inn was closed down, which always made him feel uneasy.
His transaction with the Dongyi people, King An and the Minister of War, should not see him being arrested.
On his way back home, Jing Zhaoyin saw several carriages pulling big boxes. He didn't know what was inside, so he heard the guard who was opening the way shout:
"Everyone, get out of the way. His Royal Highness has confiscated two hundred thousand taels of black silver. Anyone who comes near is guilty of the same crime as a robber! Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The people around him hurriedly backed away and exclaimed.
"Oh my god, two hundred thousand taels. I have never seen so much silver in my life."
"Don't say a lifetime, it's enough for me to spend several lifetimes."
When Jing Zhaoyin heard the amount of two hundred thousand taels, his heart skipped a beat. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince found the money he had hidden?
There were also the Minister of War and Prince An inside. If the prince confiscated them, how could he explain to those two people?
Jing Zhaoyin hurried back to his house, pacing back and forth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Sir, are you okay?" A confidant stepped forward and asked.
"Quickly, quietly go to Beiyuan Village to see if the money is still there. Be careful to avoid people and don't be seen."
He lowered his voice and ordered, and his confidants followed the orders.
The prince's people have followed quietly.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Jing Zhaoyin was restless in the mansion, so he simply dressed up as a servant and secretly went to the Minister of War's mansion.
"Master Shen! You must save the official."
"Why are you here like this?"
Shen Shi, Minister of War, had some bad premonitions.
"My lord, I just returned home from the post and saw that His Highness the Crown Prince had confiscated two hundred thousand taels of silver."
"So what, what does it have to do with you?" Shen Shi asked back.
"How can there be such a coincidence in this world? What if it is our money? If we don't make a plan early, it will be too late. Sir, you can't just sit idly by."
Jing Zhaoyin was extremely anxious.
"Don't you know where your own money is hidden and whether it has been seized?"
Shen Shi didn't expect that Jing Zhaoyin, who was usually very clever, would be so disorganized when something happened.
"Yes, the official has sent someone to check."
"What did you say?" Shen Shi grabbed his collar, "Didn't I tell you to wait for the storm to pass? Where is your money hidden?"
"Bei, enter Beiyuan Zhuangzi." Jing Zhaoyin stammered, his heart pounding.
"Foolish thing, it seems that the prince has set his sights on you. If you came here to me, it's not obvious that you have dealings with me. How can I catch you?"
Shen Shi shook him off.
"What an idiot. Send someone quickly to catch the person who checked the silver. If the prince really finds your hidden silver, can you still stand here in good condition?"
Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened that his hair stood on end and he stumbled out. He also thought of a word, "fishing". He was the fish caught by the prince.
"Prepare the sedan chair and go to Prince An's Mansion."
Shen Shi thought that he should have been exposed anyway, so he might as well go to King An to discuss something. If King An could ask Duke Xiao to help, the prince's people might not be enough.
Jun Hongyan was enjoying the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, but his interest was disturbed by his servants again.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of War is here."
"Call me in?" Jun Hongyan asked with a frown. The Minister of the Ministry of War was a man who would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
"Ling'er goes back to the house first, and I will visit you when I have time."
An Ling'er, who was pinched by Jun Hongyan, retreated shyly, but instead of going back to the house, she hid in the dark and eavesdropped.
"Your Majesty, the prince is eyeing our money."
"What did you say?"
Jun Hongyan straightened up from the recliner. The money was used to fill his emptied warehouse and he couldn't throw it away.
"My lord, why don't you ask Duke Xiao to help?"
What the Minister of War did not know was that when Jun Hongyan decided to do this, he did not discuss it with Duke Xiao. Now that he was at odds with Duke Xiao because of An Ling'er, how could he be so shameless that he went to ask Duke Xiao again.
"There is no need to alarm his old man about this matter. Come, pick the best person to help Jing Zhaoyin, and act secretly. If necessary, no one will be spared."
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant's nest. Jing Zhaoyin is now his ant's nest. Keeping a useless chess piece will only be a drag.
