Xie Xi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then said unhurriedly: "Actually, my husband came to Jiangnan this time with a mission."
"The officialdom of Jiangnan is seriously bribed, which has long made the people of Jiangnan miserable. My husband's mission is to get to the bottom of this matter, find the evidence, collect the worms in the court one by one, and bring them back to Shengjing..."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face, and thought to himself:
[It turns out that this is what His Highness wanted to tell me! Fortunately, I was still nervous just now. I already knew about this! 】
[However, I didn’t expect His Highness to really confess to me! I just don’t know why Your Highness would say this so suddenly...]
Gui Gui knew, but Lu Xiaoxiao was still pretending to be stupid: "No wonder my husband often has to discuss matters with Mr. Huaijun. It's just for this matter. If I stay in Suzhou, won't it waste my husband's time?"
"That's not the case. Madam, please don't think too much."
Xie Xi: "If I didn't have a wife, my husband wouldn't be able to get to know Mrs. Jiang, let alone know that Mrs. Jiang is the wife of the governor of Jiangning."
"Besides, there seems to be some discord between the couple, and Mrs. Jiang has promised to do things for her husband."
"It seems that the madam has brought great luck to her husband."
[No, in order to know where Mrs. Jiang is, I spent one point to get the information! 】
[Now that I think about it, it is all worth it to be praised by His Highness! 】
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard this, he smiled with joy in his heart, but he pretended to be humble: "It's just a temporary fluke."
As he said that, Lu Xiaoxiao stared at the letter on the table and said, "Since Mrs. Jiang said she would help her husband, then my husband should first read the letter sent by Mrs. Jiang to see if there is anything in it. What good news will there be?"
"Madam is right."
Xie Xi picked up the letter on the table, opened it gently, and took the letter out.
Three whole pieces of paper were filled with writing.
The handwriting is beautiful, and it can be seen that Mrs. Jiang also put in hard work in her calligraphy.
Xie Xi glanced at ten lines and quickly wrote down the contents of the letter before handing the letter to Meng Huaijun who was sitting opposite.
Meng Huaijun quickly took it and looked down at it carefully.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the letter eagerly: "..."
[I’m curious about what’s written in the letter. Why doesn’t Your Highness give it to me to take a look at? 】
Noticing Lu Xiaoxiao's curious gaze, Xie Xi pursed his lips, with a faint smile in his eyes, and then continued: "On the night when Mrs. Jiang arrived in Jiangning and returned to the Jiang Mansion, she took advantage of the fact that Governor Jiangning was not in the mansion. At that time, I deliberately dismissed the guards in the front yard, and sent someone to sneak into Governor Jiangning's study quietly..."
[Mrs. Jiang is really capable. She was asked to go back to the Jiang Mansion to collect evidence. She really let it go and fought! Don’t waste a single day! 】
Lu Xiaoxiao's attention was instantly caught by Xie Xi, and he subconsciously asked: "What then? Did you find anything?"
"Um."
Xie Xi responded in a low voice, as if relieved, and said with a smile: "Madam is smart, she has indeed discovered something."
Lu Xiaoxiao waited for his answer.
Thinking of that discovery, Xie Xi frowned, and his always gentle tone had a hint of coolness: "In the study of Governor Jiangning, there is a secret room made entirely of gold, and there is a secret room in the secret room. Hundreds of boxes of silver, each box has a seal."
"Seal?"
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaimed.
[Good guy, not only is there a gold house, but there are also so many boxes of silver. Where did Governor Jiangning bring back this robbery? I'm afraid Governor Jiangning has more money than the national treasury! 】
Xie Xi thinks so too.
Last year, my father only sent 300,000 taels of disaster relief money. Now the treasury is empty, and it is not as good as the golden house of Governor Jiangning.
Thinking of this, Xie Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Mrs. Jiang said in the letter that she suspected that hundreds of boxes of silver came from unknown sources, but she couldn't find any evidence for the time being. In two days, she would try another way to get the money from Jiangning Governor The clichés in his mouth.”
However, Xie Xi believed that Mrs. Jiang’s method would not work.
"Also, Mrs. Jiang's people also found a floor tile that was different from the others in the study. The person was curious and couldn't help but pick up the floor tile. As a result-"
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect Mrs. Jiang's people to be so capable, and suddenly became excited: "What happened?"
Xie Xi suddenly smiled: "As a result, I discovered the letters exchanged between the governor of Jiangning and the governor of Jiangnan Shi Weian."
Lu Xiaoxiao:! ! !
"Mrs. Jiang, she is - really great!"
This was really good news, and Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly didn't know what to say.
[Mrs. Jiang is so useful! As expected, I tried every possible means to strike up a conversation with Mrs. Jiang! 】
[Actually, even without my help, with Mr. Huaijun here, His Highness will definitely be able to get help from Mrs. Jiang, but it will just take a few more days. 】
Meng Huaijun had just finished reading the letter when he heard Lu Fengyi mentioning himself in his heart. He didn't dare to trust her. If it weren't for Lu Fengyi, Mrs. Jiang would not have agreed so quickly based on his little life-saving grace.
Meng Huaijun: "Sir, I am grateful to my wife for my help this time."
"Actually, I..." I didn't do anything, right?
Before Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Xie Xi interrupted her with considerable approval: "What Mr. Huaijun said is true."
"After Mrs. Jiang's people found the letters, they secretly took them back and gave them to Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang has sent someone else to deliver the letters to Suzhou. We are waiting in Suzhou."
Lu Xiaoxiao was confused: "Then why did Mrs. Jiang's letter arrive first, but the letters from Governor Jiangning and Shi Weian have not been delivered yet?"
Meng Huaijun explained: "Mrs. Jiang was afraid that the person who sent the message was not careful enough and worried that something might happen, so she sent another person from the official road and followed the caravan along the way, so that it would not easily attract the attention of others."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, "That makes sense, so let's wait a little longer."
"Husband, did Mrs. Jiang say anything else in the letter?"
Xie Xi pursed her lips and did not answer for a moment.
In fact, on the third piece of paper, Mrs. Jiang had something else to ask for, but Xie Xi didn't say it out loud.
Now that Lu Xiaoxiao asked, Xie Xi pondered for a moment and finally spoke: "Madam, Madam Jiang has one more thing she wants to ask Madam."
"ask me?"
Lu Xiaoxiao pointed at himself in surprise and said in a puzzled tone: "Did your husband read the letter by mistake?"
[I haven’t said anything to Mrs. Jiang. Could it be that you want to ask me about her poisoning? 】
"No."
Xie Xi shook his head and glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao with complicated eyes, "Mrs. Jiang said that her nanny found out a past incident, with both witnesses and physical evidence, saying that Mrs. Jiang's son was replaced by Governor Jiangning just after he was born. The daughter who has been raised by Mrs. Jiang since childhood is not her biological daughter..."
"Now her son's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Mrs. Jiang wants to spend all her wealth to find her son. When I write this letter, I want to ask my wife if she can find her son by doing this."
Lu Xiaoxiao: "???"
