Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Wang Lang smiled lightly, he didn't expect that they already knew the evidence in his hand, it seems that he made a wrong bet on this trip, and he might not be able to get out of this door today.

But fortunately, he still kept a hand, and the evidence was not on him.

Even if he dies here, as long as there are evidences left in this world, the evil deeds of these villains will be made public one day and they will be punished as they should.

Wang Lang laughed twice, staring into Qi Qingxi's eyes: "Of course it's because I don't believe you."

It was the first time the two met today, and Qi Qingxi could understand if she didn't believe her.

But since he didn't believe her, why did he follow Liu Yong to find her?It seems that he only had concerns after arriving in the mansion.

Qi Qingxi said sincerely: "Although I don't know why you came to me and suddenly you don't believe me, but even if you don't believe me, I can introduce you to other people, such as people from Ningguohou's Mansion."

Wang Lang raised his head and looked at Qi Qingxi in surprise. Did he really not know about her uncle or did he want to trick him into handing over the evidence?

Forget it, either the girl is really trustworthy, or he can't get out of this door today, so it's better to say whatever you want to say.

"But if I say that Wang Minzhong's corruption is related to the girl's uncle, and the girl's uncle has also accepted bribes from Wang Minzhong, the girl will still help me?"

"What... what?" This time it was Qi Qingxi's turn to be surprised.

Wang Lang saw that Qi Qingxi's expression didn't seem to be fake. It seemed that she didn't know about her uncle yet, so it wasn't fake that she was willing to help him before.

But now that she knows about her uncle's corruption, she probably won't be willing to help him anymore.

Her uncle Li Wenkang accepted bribes from Wang Minzhong?Qi Qingxi felt a little unbelievable.

No, not right.

If her uncle really took advantage of Wang Minzhong, he should have found out and dealt with Wang Minzhong as soon as he knew that Wang Lang might have evidence of embezzlement and perverting the law. How could he be allowed to wander outside with such a big secret.

"Treasurer Wang, could there be some misunderstanding?"

Wang Lang snorted coldly: "You are his niece, so it's natural to talk to him, but I won't empty my teeth and wrong your uncle."

Wang Lang was right, there was no need for him to wrong Li Wenkang.

But Qi Qingxi believed in Li Wenkang, which was the reason she used to defend Marquis Shen in the imperial study, and Li Wenkang had no need to embezzle and accept bribes.

If it wasn't for her thinking that through the evidence in Wang Lang's hands, she could find out the military embezzlement case faster, and Wang Lang wanted to leave, so she would let him leave.

Qi Qingxi thought for a while, and said, "I believe my uncle won't join forces with Wang Minzhong. If shopkeeper Wang doesn't believe it, let's give it a try."

Wang Lang looked at Qi Qingxi: "How to try?"

*

In the past few days of Chinese New Year, Li Wenkang has been very busy every day.

Just like today, he went out at the beginning of Maoshi, and went to the imperial city to inspect it.

After coming back, having breakfast, new year guests began to visit one after another. He and Mrs. Guo began to entertain guests from all walks of life again, drinking tea and chatting with them. After lunch, there were no more guests coming in the afternoon, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief. I can take a break.

But who would have thought that as soon as he sat down in the study, a servant from the family came to him.

"Master, Missy said she has something to ask for you. She is waiting for you in the pavilion at the rockery ahead, and asked if you could take the time to go."

In this cold day, if there is something that I can't talk about in the study, I even ran to the pavilion that was leaking everywhere.

Forget it, he'd better go there quickly, lest the child wait for him in the pavilion in the cold.

At this moment, Qi Qingxi, who was sitting in the pavilion waiting for Li Wenkang to come over, also felt a little regretful. Why did she choose such an open place to talk to people in this freezing weather?

Fortunately, Li Wenkang came over without making her wait too long.

As soon as Li Wenkang came, he asked her, "Is there anything I can't say in the study?"

Qi Qingxi smiled flatteringly and said, "Didn't I just walk around here after lunch to digest food, please uncle come here."

"By the way, uncle, I have a friend who has a western chime clock. I think it looks pretty good, but the price is a bit expensive..."

Li Wenkang smiled and raised his head. It turned out that his girl had no money.

Without further ado, he took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed them to Qi Qingxi: "There should be 1000 taels of silver here, you take it first."

Qi Qingxi smiled awkwardly. Her original intention was not to ask Li Wenkang for money to buy a clock, but to bring back Li Wenkang's memory by mentioning the chime bell.

Seeing this failed, she had no choice but to find another topic.

She took the silver bill and put it on the table, poured a cup of tea for Li Wenkang, and chatted with Li Wenkang excitedly: "Uncle, don't you know that the chime bell inlaid with gold and jade is so beautiful, and there is a The little girl's portrait, my friend said it was the Holy... Virgin Mary of their Western Kingdom."

Li Wenkang was finally brought up by Qi Qingxi: "Speaking of which, I also bought a chime clock in the past, specially bought it for Ah Yue's grandfather, and was scolded by your aunt, saying that it is too unlucky to send it to the end. Well, Ah Yue's grandfather doesn't mind, he quite likes that Western stuff."

Qi Qingxi was amused by these words, and she pretended to be casual and asked, "Where did uncle buy that chiming clock?"

"It's been many years. I remember when I was in the northwest, I happened to bump into the caravan and foreign trade over there. I bought it when I saw the novelty. At that time, he asked for 700 taels, and I bought it. When the price reached 800 taels, he agreed, and I thought I had a talent for doing business." Li Wenkang happily recalled the past.

"At that time, I was a thousand householder in Fengxiangwei. At that time, the magistrate of Fengxiang Prefecture was the Wang Minzhong you mentioned before. When I bought this clock, Wang Minzhong was beside him, and he kept saying 'as long as you like it'. I just I wonder, what does my buying the chime clock have to do with him." When mentioning Wang Minzhong, Li Wenkang was full of disdain.

Qi Qingxi: ...

She finally figured out that Li Wenkang accepted Wang Minzhong's benefits, and her uncle didn't even know that she had accepted others' benefits.

Li Wenkang was also complacently immersed in the memory of buying the chime clock for less than half the price.

Qi Qingxi coughed lightly: "Uncle, is there a possibility that someone has already paid the other half of the money for you, but you don't know?"

Li Wenkang smiled and waved his hands: "That's impossible. It's almost a thousand taels of silver. With such a big favor, who can help me pay for it? It's not a good thing to pay for it..."

Li Wenkang stopped smiling suddenly, and stood up abruptly.
