On the roof, Mo Jinming and Fu Beixian used the Dongqi Secret Technique and held their breath.
It wasn't until No. 7 had left for a long time that the two of them quietly left.
Back at the inn, Tan Zhixi and Gu Shuya played chess out of boredom.
Seeing the two of them, he immediately came forward and asked, "How's it going?"
Mo Jinming pulled Tan Zhixi into the house and closed the door. "I found the letters between Qian Xian and the Shen family. I have asked Zi Linwei to send them to the capital."
"Tomorrow, I plan to take the people outside the city to arrest Qian Xian."
Fu Beixian slapped his palm on the table: "The Shen family is really good. They have embezzled tens of millions of taels of silver over the years."
After he finished speaking, Gu Shuya chuckled, "The Shen family can be considered pitiful."
"Do you sympathize with them?" Fu Beixian looked at her in disbelief.
Gu Shuya held her chin with one hand and pushed the paper on the table in front of Fu Beixian, "Don't get excited yet. Take a look at this."
"What is this?" Fu Beixian lowered his eyes, "Thirteen million taels... gold??!!"
Fu Beixian unconsciously raised his voice for the last two words.
Tan Zhixi sighed: "The Shen family has tried every means to embezzle disaster relief money with Qian Xian over the years, but it only amounts to tens of millions of taels."
"But in just a few months, His Highness has spent more than ten million taels on his cousin."
Tan Zhixi added: "It's still gold."
Fu Beixian's eyes were almost cross-eyed, and he said in disbelief, "Is Mo Lalan so rich?"
He obviously went to him to borrow a hundred taels, but he said he had no money.
Mo Jinming leaned back in his chair, not surprised at all, "The third brother controls most of the shops in Dongqi, and he has been running them since he was ten years old."
"Dongqi's treasury is nothing compared to his private treasury."
Fu Beixian was completely stunned.
He thought that during this period, Mo Lalan's private treasury was almost spent on his younger siblings.
But I didn’t expect that that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Mo Jinming looked at the paper on the table and looked a little proud, "The soldiers on the Dongqi border are all raised by my third brother."
"He gave the soldiers the best rice, the best meat, and the best cold clothing."
After a while, Fu Beixian finally came back to his senses and smacked his lips:
"No wonder the military attachés never complain about poverty to His Majesty, but those civil servants who cry till their noses run into tears in the Assembly Hall may not be able to get money."
"There really is no harm if there is no comparison."
Mo Jinming snorted softly: "Those civil servants' sticks even shed some paint and cried, saying that they were badly damaged and needed to be replaced with new ones."
"My father has been on the throne for so many years, how could he be fooled by them?"
Fu Beixian rubbed his chin: "I really want Mo Lalan to raise him with me."
Gu Shuya looked at him with a smile: "Go to the doctor first and change your face."
Fu Beixian didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
"Sister Tang's appearance is comparable to His Highness's. How can your face compare to His Highness's appearance?"
Fu Beixian: "..."
Forget it, he should make money to support himself.
...
The next day.
The sun shines through the dancing gauze, and thousands of rays of light shine through the half-open windows, sprinkling bits of gold on the bed.
"Well..." The beautiful girl sleeping on the couch groaned softly and slowly opened her eyes.
Su Ruotang's long and beautiful eyelashes trembled a few times, her peach blossom eyes half-opened, and she got up in a daze.
The silk lining hung loosely on her body.
As she stood up, it slid down her round and tender shoulders, revealing the red marks on her white skin.
And the more and more delicate Begonia flowers.
She glanced blankly to her side.
The gun buddies disappeared as always.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Tang, are you awake?" Gu Shuya's slightly anxious voice came through the door.
"Sister Gu, come in." Su Ruotang's soft tone was lazily hoarse after waking up.
She rubbed her cheeks and blushed slightly when her eyes fell on the gorgeous crabapple on her body.
Then her green-white fingertips lifted up her inner garment and put it on before Gu Shuya came in.
Gu Shuya opened the door and walked into the house anxiously, "A victim outside the city suddenly became seriously ill. Ren Le suspected it was an epidemic."
"What?" Su Ruotang suddenly woke up, "Is there any isolation?"
"There is no way to isolate them. Originally, His Highness the Second and His Highness the Third planned to bring these common people to testify against Qian Xian today."
"Now that this is happening, we don't dare to let these people leave the forest."
Su Ruotang opened the quilt and got out of bed. Regardless of the soreness in her waist and legs, she quickly put on her clothes and said, "Sister Gu, you are here, I will go outside the city."
Gu Shuya grabbed her and said, "Be careful."
Su Ruotang curled her lips: "Don't worry."
Shen Shi was standing guard in the corridor. When he saw Su Ruotang, he immediately came up to greet her, "The third prince's concubine."
"Where's Mo Rongyan?" Su Ruotang walked down hurriedly,
"His Highness and Mr. Fu went outside the city. His Highness led the Zilin Guards to chase Qian Xian."
Su Ruotang paused: "Did Qian Xian run away?"
"Well, I ran away this morning."
A chill flashed across Su Ruotang's eyes: "Tell the second brother to stop chasing. The most important thing is to control Xicheng."
"Qian Xian abandoned the city and fled. His status in that force is definitely not low."
"If you continue to pursue me, you will be in trouble if you encounter a poisonous person."
Shen Shi nodded: "Yes."
When Su Ruotang arrived in the woods outside the city, Mo Rongyan had already surrounded the place.
The people in Xicheng heard the news from nowhere and gathered outside the woods.
"Your Highness, the disease is contagious. Please burn down the forest for everyone's safety!"
"Burn the woods!"
"Your Highness, no doctor can cure the epidemic. If the forest is not burned down, all of us will die!"
"Please, Your Highness, burn the forest."
"Please, Your Highness, burn the forest!"
Thousands of people knelt down and shouted, demanding that the forest be burned down.
