The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

"If it's just for an account book, why would it take so long?" According to the current situation, Nian Rongchuan should be racing against time.

“Master, there is not only one secret room in this house, and the secret room that Nian Rongchuan went to today occupies a very large area.

This time I also followed Nian Rongchuan, so I could discover the key.

However, time was tight and I did not have time to explore all the secret passages."

Looking at the half-open door, Yang Qi showed no interest at all. He just asked Xiao Qing beside him, "The Crown Prince's men should be on their way, right?"

This time, Adu selected a total of five guards from Guangming Hall. The reason why there were only four left when they surrounded Nian Rongchuan was because Yang Qi sent one of them to the capital to deliver a letter.

Previously, the Crown Prince was not informed because Yang Qi was not very sure whether he could have evidence against the group from Lingshan Temple.

After discovering Nian Rongchuan, Yang Qi was able to judge that this matter was of great importance, so he ordered people to rush to the capital to deliver the letter.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men have not arrived yet. With the current manpower, Yang Qi has no interest in exploring the secret room. He just takes the package from Nian Rongchuan's back, which contains three thick account books.

Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Yang Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart that the Fifth Prince has been really greedy over the years.

Not only do they amass wealth, but they also control these national treasures through the use of banned drugs. This is truly insane.

After lighting a candle, Yang Qi quickly flipped through the account book under the candlelight.

The first part was all about the dealings between the current big shots of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Even though Yang Qi hadn't seen the account books, he had already had some vague guesses about it in his mind.

But the further it went on, the more strange Yang Qi seemed.

"Zhenwei Xiaoli, Zhenwei Vice-Lieutenant, Feiqi Lieutenant, Zhurufu Left and Right Sijie, Left and Right Jianmen Xiaoli, Qinxun Yiwei Brigade Commander, Xiafu Guoyi Duli."

"Zhaowu School Lieutenant, Xiaoqi Lieutenant, Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant, Zuoyou Sijie of the Guards, Zhongfu Guoyi Duwei, Shangzhenjiang."

These people's official positions were not high, most of them were around the sixth rank. With such official positions and salaries, how could they become the targets of bribery and winover by the Fifth Prince?

Confused, Yang Qi reread all the lists, and suddenly realized that these officials were all military generals, who more or less controlled the military forces of the capital and even the Tianyuan Dynasty.

It turned out that the reason why Yuan Ruiyin was able to quickly recruit military generals and break the Crown Prince's victory was because the Fifth Prince Yuan Ruiyin had used such a vicious method to control people's hearts a few years ago.

They really do everything they can to squeeze out all the value of all the objects.

"Dong dong dong."

"Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta."

A chaotic sound of footsteps and horse hooves came into Yang Qi's ears.

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked up curiously. The man in front of him wearing a bright yellow four-clawed python robe, wasn’t he the Crown Prince that he had been thinking about today?

Seeing that Yang Qi was safe and sound in front of him, Yuan Ruiyuan was able to put his worries to rest.

Fortunately, fortunately, the girl is fine!

God knows, when I learned that the girl had brought less than ten people to Lingshan Temple and discovered Nian Rongchuan's whereabouts, I wished I could grow wings and fly here.

Seeing the girl smiling at him under the candlelight, the Crown Prince's pent-up anger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been a person who does not show his emotions. This time he still had a stern face and looked at people with some fear.

However, these things don't scare Yang Qi.

Seeing His Royal Highness appear, Yang Qi smiled and handed the account book he had found to His Royal Highness: "Your Highness, look, this is the account book that was searched from Nian Rongchuan's body. It records in detail the dirty things they have done here over the years with the protection of Lingshan Temple."

Taking the account book from the maid unhappily, His Royal Highness asked, "In the future, if there is such a dangerous situation, would you not choose to come here alone?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very puzzled by this question. When did he come here alone? He clearly came here with Xiaoqing, Adu and several guards.

However, seeing the Crown Prince's bad face, Yang Qi said tactfully, "No, never again. Today the situation is indeed too tense. Xiao Qi is really worried that if I am a step late, I am afraid that it will ruin His Highness's plan.

Your Highness, how about you forgive Xiaoqi this time for the fact that she found the person by accident? "

Yuan Ruiyuan brought a lot of people this time, especially Huo Xuan, who was watching the interaction between him and Xiao Qi from behind with a smile on his face.

There was no other way. Under such circumstances, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no choice but to give the girl a way out and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. If there is a next time, I will punish her severely."

Yang Qi nodded quickly: "After this, Xiao Qi will think twice before acting and will never do such a stupid thing as today."

Seeing the girl being so sensible and admitting her mistake, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked casually, "How did you notice something strange in Lingshan Temple today?"

Thinking of this, Yuan Ruiyuan couldn't help but feel a hint of sarcasm in his heart. Today, Lao Wu used only one card per person to mess up his own people.

If it weren't for this girl's cleverness, she would have been led around by the nose by Lao Wu and Nian all day.

Yang Qi looked around, then pulled His Highness aside, and when he was sure that no one else could hear him, he smiled slyly, "Actually, I don't know anything, but it's because I don't know anything that I was very surprised when I saw my second brother return to the capital.

In the past few days, Xiaoqi has been spending more time with His Highness, so he naturally knows that there are two generals around His Highness who are in charge of the Five-Stone Powder matter. One is General Lu Xiaojun, and the other is my second brother who I met for the first time today. The two of them are one in the open and one in secret. Naturally, the second brother is responsible for secretly keeping an eye on those who have ulterior motives.

This time, my second brother hurried back to Beijing, which showed that the person behind the scenes had begun to act, but the speed was too fast.

If I were a person who did bad things, knowing that my opponent was eyeing me covetously, why would I take action at this time?

There is only one conclusion, that is, the person behind the scenes wants to transfer the truly valuable items and just threw out some bait first."
