Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Before Shen Lanxi left, Cheng Zheng wrote a good word for her.

After returning to the city, she went straight to the Dali Temple.

In the case of Wei Jiajun, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Personnel jointly investigated the case, and both places should have files.

It just so happened that Che Mingyuan had a letter and asked her to give it to Wei Jie, the Minister of Dali Temple.

She had asked someone to inquire in advance and found out that Wei Jie would be on duty at the Dali Temple all day today.

Wei Jie had been waiting for Shen Lanxi when she said she wanted to re-examine the Wei Jiajun case.

I thought she would find him as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that she would go to Prince Zhennan's door to ask for her dowry.

What a wonderful woman!

What is in his mind is not something that an ordinary person like him can guess.

After Shen Lanxi met Wei Jie, she first handed him Che Mingyuan's letter, and only told him her purpose after he finished reading it!

Wei Jie was somewhat businesslike before, but his attitude changed drastically after reading the letter.

"I have already prepared the files of the Wei family army and am just waiting for the general to come!"

After Wei Jie finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced outside the door.

Shen Lanxi said directly: "Every move I make now is being watched. Sir Wei, just speak frankly!"

Wei Jie understood. Since he had received instructions from His Majesty, he didn't have to worry.

On the way to the archives room to look at the files, Wei Jie had already told Shen Lanxi the contents of the files.

"The files are just superficial stuff, basically the same as what the outside world says. The only useful thing is the file of the original allocation of food and salary for the Wei family army."

Wei Jie took out the file and placed all the evidence in front of Shen Lanxi.

"This is a list of all the officials who handled that batch of money, including soldiers. Their whereabouts in the past two years have been under the surveillance of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Personnel, and their behavior is normal!"

After Shen Lanxi looked through them one by one, she asked, "Master Wei, are all the files here?"

Wei Jie: "This is only part of it. The other part is in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. Because they are all official documents with seals, each ministry must keep them as evidence. It is not easy for us in the Dali Temple to keep withholding them!"

Shen Lanxi didn't make it difficult for him and asked, "Can I make a copy of these evidences?"

Wei Jie: "Sir, please have it copied!"

She was accompanied by a number of people, each with a sheet of paper. It took about a quarter of an hour to finish copying all the papers.

"Master Wei, I see there is no confession or anything like that in there. Did the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Personnel summon the people who were escorting the money to take a confession? Did they send people to question the people they came into contact with along the way?"

Wei Jie glanced at her, and remembered his friend's instructions in the letter, and said truthfully: "After the Shen family was exiled, there was drought in the north, then mob riots, followed by riots in the northwest, and then there was the winter snowstorm and the rebellion of the rebellious king... The riots never stopped!"

Shen Lanxi nodded to show her understanding.

"We were originally going to summon the people who were escorting the grain and money, but there were riots everywhere and the court was short of troops, so we had to send them out as well."

Shen Lanxi: "Where was he sent to?"

Wei Jie: "I paid special attention to it. They were all sent to the northwest!"

Shen Lanxi took note of it. She had the list with her, and she could check it out on her way to the northwest.

"Lord Wei, I won't bother you anymore. I still have to go to the Ministry of Personnel!" Shen Lanxi was about to say goodbye.

Wei Jie wanted to talk but stopped. Shen Lanxi glanced at him and understood something.

"My lord, stay!"

Wei Jie gritted his teeth and said, "You may not be able to see anyone in the Ministry of Justice!"

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, Lord Wei, for reminding me. I'm well prepared!"

Wei Jie was stunned. He didn’t understand. What was there to prepare for when he couldn’t even see the person?

Why did Shen Lanxi just leave like that without even asking him a single question?

……

"Sister, what the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple said just now could be true, right?" Shen Yuanjing asked with concern.

"Don't worry. Did you bring the imperial edict that I asked you to bring?" Shen Lanxi asked confidently.

Speaking of the imperial edict, Shen Yuanjing and others felt a little more confident.

When she arrived, the door of the Ministry of Personnel was closed, with only two gatekeepers guarding the door.

"Who are you? This is a restricted area of ​​the Ministry of Personnel, civilians are not allowed to approach!"

Shen Yuanjing unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud!

"...All relevant persons must cooperate with Shen Lanxi's investigation. Anyone who obstructs will be treated as the real culprit in the Wei Jiajun case!"

The two gatekeepers didn't expect the person to come up and take out the imperial edict. They didn't react in time. When they finally reacted, they were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground.

Shen Yuanjing held the imperial edict high in his left hand and shouted, "General Shen wants to check the case files of the Wei family army. Will you stop him?"

The two petty officials were already frightened out of their wits. The imperial edict said that anyone who dared to stop them would be guilty of the same crime. So who would dare to stop them?

"General, we didn't stop them. It was our assistant minister who said that if anyone dared to enter the Ministry of Personnel without his order, our entire family would be killed! We don't dare!"

What a coincidence, the Minister of Personnel Qiu Mingjue had just given them instructions yesterday, and less than twelve hours had passed, so they dared not forget even if they wanted to!

"Why do I have to go in?" Shen Lanxi looked at the two of them.

The two clerks had tears on their faces and said in embarrassment: "General, if you want to go in, you'd better beat us up first!" This way they could report to their superiors.

Shen Lanxi laughed and said, "If I really beat you, I won't be able to explain myself even if I am right!"

The two clerks were in such a dilemma that they almost cried, "Sir, please let us go. Sir Qiu just told us yesterday that if we really put you in jail, we will die in prison the moment you leave. Please, Sir, please don't make things difficult for us, okay?"

It was obvious that the two of them had been instructed by someone to say this, otherwise they would never dare to say so.

Who dares to bargain after seeing the imperial edict?

It was obvious that they believed that she was a woman, and she would be soft-hearted if the two men begged her like this.

"Is your Minister of Personnel in there today?"

The two clerks hurriedly shook their heads.

"No, the Minister is taking a day off today."

"What about tomorrow?" she asked immediately.

The two clerks said, "We won't know tomorrow. How about you come back tomorrow?"

Shen Lanxi smiled at first, then her face darkened.

"Anyone who dares to stop me will be considered a criminal who stole the Wei army's food and wages, and will be killed without mercy!"

Shen Yuanjing and others showed their weapons without saying a word!

The two clerks were so frightened. They were fine just a moment ago, how could they suddenly turn hostile while smiling?

"Please spare our lives, sir! We dare not!" The two petty officials were so frightened that they quickly made way.

Shen Yuanjing stepped forward to open the door, then turned around and scolded the two men: "Why don't you lead the way for the general?"

This time the two clerks were really scared and cried.

Didn’t Lord Qiu say that Shen Lanxi was a woman, and that they could get away with it by just acting pitiful?

Why is it different from what Lord Qiu said?

After Shen Lanxi entered the room, she saw the people working inside and snorted.

"The officials in the Ministry of Personnel are so audacious that they dare to openly disobey the emperor's order!"

Shen Yuanjing held up the imperial edict in his left hand: "You disobeyed the imperial order and prevented General Shen from thoroughly investigating the Wei family army's grain and salary case. You are the real culprit and accomplice of the Wei family army's grain and salary theft case. Wait for your property to be confiscated and your clan to be exterminated!"
