Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Li Jinglan called Yuan Lai and Gao Daxi over and asked them to accompany Wei Yan to get the evidence.

Gao Daxi came back after getting the evidence and left Yuan Lai at Wei Yan's house for examination.

Gao Daxi lowered his voice and said, "Wei Yan's evidence is at home... When we went there, no one was home and there was a layer of dust on the floor."

"Wei Yan cried very sadly when he saw that no one was at home."

"Does he know where his family went?" Li Jinglan asked.

Gao Daxi shook his head: "Wei Yan said he didn't know. That day, he came home from the Zhanshi Mansion. Just as he walked to the door of his house, he heard the screams of his wife and children... Wei Yan didn't dare to enter the house..."

"Then Wei Yan ran out of the city and was chased by the people from the Dali Temple. He injured his face while escaping... Later, he fled to Xishui Village and was rescued by Mr. Gu."

Gao Daxi briefly described the process of Wei Yan's escape.

"Find the eunuch who delivered the letter and testify against him." Li Jinglan said.

Gao Daxi bowed and went down immediately to find the young eunuch.

The young eunuch was taken out of the palace by Gao Daxixi and was very frightened at first.

But these days, no one bothered him at all.

He was also allowed to go to the school in front to learn to read and write with Lu Zhongyu and other students.

The young eunuch's mood gradually stabilized.

At this moment, he heard Gao Daxi calling him to recognize someone, and hurried over from the front yard.

Gao Daxi led the eunuch to the door and pointed at the person sitting inside, "Do you know this person?"

Just at this moment, Wei Yan in the room turned his head.

The young eunuch was frightened by the scar on Wei Yan's face and was stunned.

The scar on Wei Yan's face was very deep, with blood-red flesh running across his face.

The little eunuch was only eight years old, still a child.

Seeing Wei Yan like this for the first time, he was shocked for a long time, and then he nodded gently: "He gave the bag to me."

Gao Daxi was delighted and asked the young eunuch to leave.

He also secretly asked two clerks from the Zhanshi Mansion to come and identify the person.

After getting an accurate reply, he went to see Li Jinglan.

"I found three people, and they all said he was Wei Yan." Gao Daxi said.

Li Jinglan hummed and put down the evidence in his hand.

This piece of evidence was copied by Wei Yan, which records the expenditure and income of the Prince's Secretariat over the past ten years.

Wei Yan marked the problematic items with a red pen and also suggested which book and page of the Zhanshi Palace account book should be checked.

If we only look at these evidences, the prince did embezzle funds for river management.

Not only did he embezzle money, but he also embezzled a lot of it.

But Li Jinglan felt something was wrong.

But Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin were not there at the moment, and Li Jinglan didn't know who to consult for a while.

At this time, Yuan Lai also came back.

Report:

"Wei Yan hid the evidence in the well at home! I checked his house and found obvious signs of rummaging. The cabinets were opened and the soil in the yard was loosened."

"What Wei Yan said about his wife and children screaming was also confirmed by the neighbors. The neighbors said they did hear the screams of Wei Yan's wife and children, and then no one was at the Wei family the next day."

After listening to this, Li Jinglan hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand."

Let Yuan Lai go down, Li Jinglan closed his eyes and thought.

She asked Gao Daxi and Yuan Lai to go together to get evidence so that she could tell the emperor through Gao Daxi that she got Wei Yan's things.

The Prince of Pei's Mansion has no secrets for the emperor.

Similarly, the Prince's Household Department should have no secrets from the Emperor.

According to Wei Yan, the prince must have been embezzling funds for river works for quite some time.

Doesn’t the emperor know?

Several million taels a year is not a small amount. Does the prince have the ability to embezzle it?

Suppose the prince was corrupt, what did he use the embezzled money for?

She can't act rashly until she has figured out these things.

Seeing Li Jinglan shaking her head and sighing, Gao Daxixi was a little confused.

The prince and Lu Bozhou are now in a life-and-death situation.

Shouldn't Li Jinglan be happy to get the evidence that the prince embezzled river engineering funds?

If Gao Daxi is Li Jinglan, send the evidence to the emperor first.

Then he summoned the ministers to denounce the prince.

What is Li Jinglan hesitating about?

Gao Daxi couldn't help but ask: "Princess, what's next?"

Li Jinglan closed the account book and the evidence and said in a calm voice: "Lock up Wei Yan and keep him under strict supervision."

Gao Daxi responded and waited for Li Jinglan to continue.

But Li Jinglan stopped talking about this matter and started talking about Dongyi instead. "Go to the Siyi Pavilion and ask them if they have any wool from Dongyi. If they don't have any, ask someone to go to the Tea-Horse Trade Fair to see if you can buy a few hundred kilograms."

Gao Daxi: ????

Aren't they saying that the prince embezzled the river engineering funds? How did it suddenly become wool?

Li Jinglan's idea is very simple.

If something is wrong, you should let it go.

Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin went to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and then they would go to the banks of the Huai River.

Zhao Zhengyi and Lu Sheng went to Huai'an.

She would have to wait for feedback from these two groups before taking any action.

Acting rashly is not a good strategy.

……

The news that Wei Yan entered Prince Pei's Mansion spread to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

The Crown Prince of Wei immediately went to find the Duke of Wei.

"Father, Wei Yan has entered Prince Pei's Palace." Prince Wei's voice was filled with excitement.

The fish is hooked, how can you not be excited.

"Now that we have the evidence, we should take action against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Prince Wei smiled lightly.

Only after Li Jinglan took action against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could they move on to their work.

However, Li Jinglan was destined to disappoint them.

It has been five days since Li Jinglan obtained the evidence, and he has not made any move.

Not only did he not move, but he even started to compete with the Siyi Pavilion.

Gao Daxixi was sent to the Siyi Pavilion every day.

The surrounding small countries learned that Li Jinglan was a person who liked gold, silver and food, and began to cater to his preferences.

Li Jinglan received a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

I picked out some beautiful jewelry and gave it to the queen.

The remaining jewels were divided into several portions.

One copy was sent to the Wang sisters, one copy to Zhou Tuanjin, and one copy each to Lu Guanyu and Li Fengxian.

Aunt Zhao also got a share.

The officials of the Siyi Hall have been traveling back and forth between Prince Pei's palace and embassies of various countries every day during this period, and their legs have become thin from running around.

Fortunately, Li Jinglan is not a difficult person, and no matter what she does, it is within official regulations.

Those who deserve reward should be rewarded, and those who do not deserve reward should not be rewarded.

Some officials in the capital expressed their incomprehension of Li Jinglan's preference for interacting with envoys from small countries, but no one reported her.

What Li Jinglan wants is not something precious.

They just wanted to ask Gaochang for some of the Hetian jade that could be found everywhere in the Gobi Desert, and some of Gaochang's Hami melons.

Just asking Dongyi for some wool...

There is nothing to refer to here.

Li Jinglan was calm and composed as she traveled through the Siyi Pavilion and interacted with the surrounding small countries, but the prince lost his temper when he learned that Wei Yan had entered the Prince of Pei's Palace.

He directly ordered his men to set off for Prince Pei's Palace.

At this time, Li Jinglan was talking with the envoys from Gaochang Kingdom accompanied by officials from the Siyi Hall.

"Is this kind of cotton grown in large quantities in your country?" Li Jinglan asked with a smile.
