Xiao Yuehuai curled her lips: "As expected of you, you can guess my thoughts accurately."
"The case of Mr. Qin Ge actually stems from the loss of Qingzhou flood relief money. If your father had not been imprisoned pending trial for this case, and all the officials in the Qin family were dismissed, the evildoers would have no chance to take advantage of it. On the other hand. ..If the crime of corruption had not been proven, how could no one care about the missing relief money?"
"Someone wants to use the Qin family's crime of corruption to cover up the whereabouts of the relief money, and frame the case on Mr. Qin Ge, making the world think that your grandfather and your father secretly embezzled the relief money."
"When your clan collapses, the people behind the scenes can intercept the three hundred thousand taels of relief money without anyone noticing...and Kang Rongqi can replace your father in the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and Min Wutuan can also use it to check His skills skyrocketed, and this move was able to gain the support of two ministers, and his intentions are unspeakable."
Qin E: "Are you saying that there may be higher-ranking promoters behind Kang Rongqi and Min Wutuan?"
Xiao Yuehuai did not deny it.
Qin E stared at her, suddenly feeling chilly. Inexplicably, she felt that the little girl in front of her had changed a lot from before, and she had a restrained cruelty that made people feel fearful.
"Ah Huai, I've always wanted to ask, how did you get the evidence in this wooden box? And...why do you know so well what Kang Rongqi and Min Wudu did? You didn't like court in the past. I don't care much about these bureaucrats. Why do you seem to be a different person this time?"
Xiao Yuehuai lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly while listening to her question.
How could she not know? In her previous life, before the Great Zhou Dynasty was overthrown, she felt that the Lu family was very sharp and arrogant among the government and the public, and they must have many dirty and dirty cases in their hands.
Therefore, she did a lot of investigations in private, but because she had no power, she could never find any concrete evidence. She was also under house arrest by Lu Pingsheng, so she could only rely on her own guesses to speculate on these old cases.
Before she became a military prostitute, she did hard labor in the Jie Jing Court of the Zhou Palace for a period of time.
A counselor who followed Lu Pingsheng through life and death, but was abandoned and betrayed by him, was imprisoned there. This person was originally used by Emperor Yu as a bargaining chip to blackmail Lu Pingsheng into giving in to him. He accidentally met her and told the truth about the past because he hated the Lu family.
Only then did she realize that all her inferences back then were inaccurate.
Many drastic changes in the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty are inextricably related to the Lu family.
The Lu family's father and son stirred up troubles. In order to stabilize the family's power and consolidate their position as the head of the family, they eradicated dissidents everywhere, solved obstacles at all costs, and committed numerous blood debts. Their insidious schemes and sharp methods were horrifying.
She was silent for a long time, looked up at Qin'e, and finally suppressed the thoughts rolling in her heart without saying anything clearly.
Lu Pingsheng is thoughtful and cunning, and never leaves any clues in his actions. Even if Mr. Qin Ge's case can bring down Kang Rongqi and Min Wutuan together, it may not be possible to reach the Lu family.
She has no conclusive evidence of Lu's crime, and she has no power and cannot protect others. Speaking out will only cause more trouble to the Qin family.
This difficult and dangerous road of revenge is like a worm shaking a tree. She is enough on her own, so there is no need to involve herself in it.
So she replied calmly: "Such a big thing happened to the Qin family. No matter how much I ignore the affairs of the court, I should do something. You are my extremely cherished friend, and I will never let such a tragedy as the genocide happen to you. Happened to me."
Xiao Yuehuai walked over without saying anything that the wooden box was an unexpected thing, and she didn't need to explain it.
Qin E trusted her very much and didn't care about that much. After a few words, she really stopped asking questions. Instead, she was moved and said with red eyes: "Good A Huai, how can you save the Qin family's life?" Well, I took note of it.”
Xiao Yuehuai said warmly——
"Don't talk about this between you and me. Niao Niao, if we can trace the whereabouts of the relief money, we can uproot the people who framed the Qin family. Therefore, we must complete this matter, and you must do it yourself. Only in this way can we Ask my father to forgive you for escaping without permission and use your merits to offset your faults."
Qin E: "But this matter is not easy to handle. I am already on the wanted list. How can I escape from Jinling and go to the flood place to investigate this matter without having to go through any criminal charges?"
Xiao Yuehhuai: "You don't need to leave Beijing. The disaster relief silver should be in the abandoned silver mine in Zhuying Mountain on the outskirts of Jinling."
Qin E was stunned, feeling more and more unable to see through her: "How do you know?"
"I guessed it. But nine times out of ten, it's not wrong."
This matter was indeed her speculation, but she had this idea in her previous life.
The prisoners at Ye Jingting did not explain how the relief money legitimately fell into the hands of the Lu family and his son, but they mentioned that Lu Pingsheng used part of the money to build a village for raising dead men.
This batch of relief silver has an official seal. If it wants to be circulated among markets, it must find a place to melt it into broken silver. Otherwise, the Lu family will not dare to use it for their own use. The abandoned silver mine in Zhuying Mountain is the best hiding place.
She thought so in her heart, but did not explain much: "If you want to remelt and recast three hundred thousand taels of silver, you must choose a silver refining site that is not listed in the official register. Many houses were destroyed by the Huaihe River flood in Qingzhou. There is no place to hide silver in the farm."
"Jinling survived, so naturally it is the best choice."
Qin E said thoughtfully: "Okay... leave it to me to track down the relief funds. For the Kang Mansion, please be careful."
One day flies by.
In a blink of an eye, the night Xiao Yuehuai and Yue Ziru had agreed to arrived.
At night. The lights on Beijing Street dimmed, and the watchman beat the gong and shouted: "The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of the candle."
The light in the alley was faint, and there were faint sounds of insects and birds.
Xiao Yuehuai hid in the pile of goods near Songshui Pier, staring eagerly at the movement at the port. Dali Temple's manpower has been buried around, waiting for an opportunity. On the docked cargo ship, seven or eight guys were busy inside and outside, as if they were stalling for time and waiting for someone.
After about half an hour of silence, the sound of footsteps finally came from the street next to the pier.
A group of people dragged their luggage and sneaked out from the shop, walking close to the street for fear of being discovered by the officers and soldiers patrolling the city. They rushed to the ship moored in the port in panic, stepped on the cockpit, and hurriedly got into the cabin.
The Dali Temple government officer hiding on the shore took the right opportunity and quietly followed him. Before the cargo ship had set sail, a force surged in and surrounded the people inside.
Xiao Yuehuai clenched her hands with cold sweat on her palms and stared intently.
I saw the cargo ship shaking violently a few times, and then there was a sound of cups and bowls being thrown, mixed with the cold sound of swords clashing, as if there was a fierce struggle.
When the cargo ship became quiet again, a group of big men with black noses and swollen eyes were tied up with backhands by the government officials, kicked and beaten, and pushed off the shore. About ten people stood on the edge of the pier, waiting for the young man on the deck to disembark.
Xiao Yuehuai looked from a distance and saw her cousin, Dali Temple Shaoqing Yue Muze, standing on the boat, whispering to the boatman of the cargo ship. There was still a smile on his face. After a long time, he patted his sleeves. Jumped down.
Yue Muze gave some instructions to his subordinates, and the government officials escorted the group of big men away in the direction of Dali Temple.
Before Xiao Yuehuai understood what was going on, she saw her cousin walking towards her with a knife in one hand and his hand on his hip.
