Transmigrated into the prince's only daughter, and beat up the dignitaries in the capital with

The officers of the military pay escort team, led by Lord Qian, knelt down again.

Qian Yuanwailang's face was pale, and he stuttered as he defended himself and his colleagues behind him.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, I and my colleagues are just minor officials in the Ministry of Revenue. We are only here to settle the accounts. How can we get the kerosene?"

"Please Your Majesty, please look into this matter!"

"Please Your Majesty, please look into this matter!"

"..."

"You gentlemen don't have this ability, but Lord Xu is from the Ministry of War..."

Qian Yuanwailang's body stiffened, his mouth spoke faster than his brain, and he agreed with Jiang Jichen's words very tactfully.

"That's right!"

"Lord Xu is the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. He is even more suspicious, Your Majesty!"

Anyway, they belong to different parties, so no matter what dirty water or sewage is involved, it doesn’t matter who else it’s on!

The more Lord Qian thought about it, the more he thought that if he could cause some trouble to the eldest prince's party in terms of military pay,

When I return to Kyoto, the Second Prince will look at me with higher regard.

If he gets promoted and becomes rich, his wife will have to be gentle to him!

With a gritted teeth, Lord Qian knocked his head against the cold floor, and his official hat almost fell off.

"Your Highness, since we set out from the capital, the military pay account books have been guarded by the military commanders, the finance and grain historians, and Lord Xu."

"When we arrived at the post station, we moved directly into Lord Xu's yard,"

"I have never done this before!"

"Now that the post station has been burned and the account books have been lost, I hope that Your Majesty and General Xie can investigate the matter and report it to the court!"

The wrinkles between Xie Yunshan's eyebrows are so thick that they can kill a fly. I always feel that the development of things is a little unexpected.

He looked at the guards beside him. He had to know who the Lord Xu they were talking about was and who was behind him!

The guard understood and nodded, then walked out of the hall in light steps.

Jiang Jichen saw it but didn't care, and even signaled Guan Yan to let Xie Yunshan go ahead and investigate.

It is not difficult to tell from the reaction of this young man that the person in the capital did not inform his son when he instructed this matter!

"Since the suspicion now rests with Lord Xu, and he is seriously injured and still unconscious,"

"Then we should start with the account books that have been turned over."

Jiang Jichen waved his hand to let Huo Lang come over.

The prince who was resolute and ruthless was at the top of the list. Even though he was holding a baby in his arms, it did not affect his murderous aura.

He looked at everyone intently, "It just so happens that my camp has not yet counted the military pay sent this time, so I will settle it in front of General Xie and everyone else today!"

"Thank you, General. What do you think?"

Xie Yunshan glanced at Huo Lang, who had already left the hall and returned to the camp to arrange matters. He knew what was going on.

It doesn't matter whether you agree or not.

Jiang Jichen is just going through the motions this time!

Xie Yunshan: "…In this case, it would be great if we can find out the truth!"

The King of Zheng State used thunderous means. A moment later, the hall was filled with account books, abacus, low tables, and writing brushes and ink, which were heavily guarded after the fire...

With him in charge, all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue were extremely focused when moving the beads, not daring to make any mistakes!

The army camp was not too far from the city, and the scouts could reach it in just an incense stick of time.

The scout had a small flag of the National Defense Army on his back and a token in his hand. Naturally, no one in the city dared to stop him.

The military camp,

The new finance official was taken to prison by Hu Yan on the grounds of unknown identity. The military officer who was escorting the team tried to defend him but was almost beheaded by the hot-tempered Huo Lang.

The door of the warehouse where the military pay was stored was wide open, and Huo Lang was in charge. The former military treasury official was leading his men to count the amount of money in boxes.

Hu Yanze led his men to the locations where cotton-padded clothes and food supplies were stored and counted them one by one!

The post station hall,

The huge hall was very quiet. Scouts ran into the post station one after another, reading out loud the amount of silver and the corresponding box numbers.

The scene is unreasonably tense!

Jiang An, who was arranged to sit at the table again, clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling.

It’s so fucking exciting!

It's all money!

One hour...

Two hours…

The hands of Qian Yuanwailang and his men below were almost leaving afterimages on the abacus.

Jiang An was so sleepy watching this that the sound of money being paid beside him turned into numbness from the excitement at the beginning.

It’s not over yet…

The guard who had left Xie Yunshan appeared in the hall from the side door, bowed his head and said something.

His face turned grim.

A pair of eyes with a gentle filter were stained with dark murderous intent, looking straight at the guard,

The guard nodded and said softly, "Sir, someone has already done it."

At some point, the sun set and the sound of the abacus stopped.

Jiang An put down her hands that were pulling at her father's sleeves. She felt that she could hold it in for a while longer!

When Qian Yuanwailang stood up, the last scout just entered the post station.

Scout: "Your Highness, the military pay is fifty-six boxes, 2,780,000 taels, and the cotton clothes and food are the same as in previous years!"

The scout handed a letter box to Jiang Jichen and left.

Lord Qian, who was waiting for a reply, knelt down with shaking hands.

His lips trembled as he held one of the account books in his hand. "Reply...Reply to Your Majesty..., the account books record a total of 5...5 million taels of military pay, and there are four other account books missing."

The account book was spread out, and the traces of tearing at the root of the page were clearly visible.

Jiang Jichen didn't even take it.

With one hand, he covered Jiang An's ears under her confused eyes, pressed Tuanzi into his arms, and with the other hand, he slammed the opened mailbox heavily on the table.

The force was so strong that the table cracked.

When I removed my hand, the mailbox had already broken into pieces...

Jiang An grabbed her father's big hand with her small hand.

Fortunately, the skin was thick and the palm was not broken or bleeding, but just red.

Jiang Jichen: "You guys are so brave!"

Xie Yunshan glanced at the note next to the mailbox. Fifty-six boxes, half of the silver was in stones.

The gentle smile on his face was gone, and he could tell who Jiang Jichen was scolding.

The soldiers at the border guard the frontiers year after year. Most of them are from ordinary families. Some are conscripted to defend their country with great passion, while others come to the barracks to seek a way out for their families because they cannot survive.

Life in the military camp was too hard, and it was even harder at the border. I was more than a hundred miles away from home, and my only comfort was the letters from home and the military pay I received every month.

Military pay is more like money to buy their lives...

But there are always some people who don’t want to let go even the money stained with human blood!

At this time, Jiang An still didn't understand where Jiang Jichen's anger came from. She wondered, since her father had seen through the conspiracy from the beginning, why was he still so angry?

"Come here, pass on my order. Remove the weapons from the escort team and take them to jail. The money and grain official Shi Shizhen will be punished according to military law and beaten to death!"

Jiang Jichen's words were filled with a strong sense of hostility.

Jiang An only realized at this moment why everyone here was afraid of him...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

At the door, the post station clerk was standing behind a guard who was in charge of guarding Lord Xu, shaking like a sieve.

"Master Xu... hanged himself..."

"Ah…"

Jiang Jichen laughed out of anger and acted very quickly.

He raised his eyelids, his anger still lingering, "A corrupt official who embezzled and cheated should be killed."

"Even if he dies, his nine clansmen will go down to accompany him."

Feeling the vibration of the man's chest, Jiang An held her father's arm and sat obediently.

Tuanzi looked up and asked in a low voice, "Does Lord Qian know history?"

Although she said she was asking, the light in her eyes told Jiang Jichen that she believed this person would not die, at least not at her hands.

Jiang Jichen covered Tuanzi's eyes and simply replied, "Those who intend to harm others will die."

You will die eventually...

Jiang An: “Oh.” (I didn’t understand.)

No one present asked whether Lord Xu really hanged himself.

Perhaps everyone knows in their hearts how can a seriously injured person who is still unconscious hang himself!

No one dared to investigate whether Xu Youshilang was the only one who embezzled military pay and tore up account books, a serious crime that could cost the entire clan their lives…

Some people are really confused and timid, while others are clearly sober but pretend to be confused.

Upon hearing the news of Xu Youshilang's death, Xie Yunshan was confused. He pressed the armrest and turned his head to Jiang Jichen and said,

"Since I am involved in the investigation of this matter together with the prince, I will write to the emperor and report the truth after returning."

"As for these officials, they are not good at escorting military pay. According to the law, Your Majesty, as the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Army, can execute them first and report later."

Lord Qian: Oh my, my life is counting down...

Jiang Jichen held down the moving child in his arms without even looking at Xie Yunshan.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate Qian Yuanwailang, who was in charge of Chongzhou's taxation in the 24th Department of the Ministry of Revenue, so as to place someone from the eldest prince's party in this position.

"General Xie, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Yuan Wailang Qian said, that the officials of the Ministry of Revenue didn't interfere with the account books and military pay along the way?"

Xie Yunshan: "But it was the Ministry of Revenue that delegated the military pay..."

Jiang Jichen: "It was the Ministry of Revenue that allocated the military pay, not Lord Qian!"

"If General Xie is not happy, then please do as you please..."

Jiang Jichen stood up and prepared to leave, nodding at the kneeling officials.

You can kill me if you want, I don't care.

Xie Yunshan gritted his teeth and said, "If I could kill you, there would be no need for me to waste words with you!"

Jiang Jichen had a legitimate reason to kill this man; if Xie Yunshan dared to touch him, he would be overstepping his authority!

Jiang An was so annoyed.

Jiang An poked her head out from her father's arms, and the chirping on her head trembled as she moved.

"Uncle, don't you want to see them alive?"

This statement is somewhat hateful!

Xie Yunshan gnashed his teeth, Uncle! Uncle!

I'm only twenty this year!

"Call brother!"

Jiang An: "Uncle, you have no shame!"

Xie Yunshan (raising his hand): Hey, you little bastard!

Jiang Jichen (death stare): What are you going to do?

Jiang An snorted and continued to twist and turn on her father.

"Dad, hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!!"

Hearing this, Jiang Jichen strode out, his voice low and pleasant, "If you dare to do this to me, you will have no food to eat today or tomorrow!"

Jiang An: Oh, what a cruel heart!
