After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

Wen Yiheng thought for a while and selected some people on the list who were wavering and had low official positions.

Wen Yiheng was very clear that these people were not his loyal believers, which meant that they were all his leverage.

If these people are not eliminated, they will use this to threaten him one day. Not only will his money be damaged, but even his life will be in danger!

Wen Yiheng then immediately went to the palace to find Li Jing.

Wen Yiheng himself is young and lacks experience, so naturally he needs Li Jing to take a look at this kind of thing.

Wen Yiheng came to the palace. Wen Yiheng thought Li Jing would be a little sad.

Li Jing looked at Wen Yiheng and said with a smile: "Heng'er, did anything happen?"

Wen Yiheng nodded and said, "Mother, I have already got the list.

There are many people on the list, from small officials to big officials.

However, I have discovered that some of these officials are not only of little help to us, but also have low loyalty.

If we want to use them in the future, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to maintain them.

I think there is no need for that and we should not maintain this relationship with this group of people in the future.

Their official positions are already low, and since they have received benefits, they are also very clear that if something happens to them, it will not pose much of a threat to us.

It is impossible for anything serious to happen to them themselves.

There is also a group of people who hold middle-level official positions but are of little use to us and even pose a threat to us.

I'm afraid we need to deal with this group of people ourselves.

This group of people cost a lot of money, but they have to become a threat to us, which is obviously not cost-effective.

As for the other officials who are more senior and more loyal to us, we just need to protect them well.

There are also some high-ranking officials who are fence-sitters. I'm afraid we have to teach them a lesson."

Li Jing looked at Wen Yiheng and said with a smile: "My Heng'er has grown up and can now help me deal with these matters.

Heng'er is right, I think the same thing. Since these people are unreliable, we might as well deal with them first, otherwise it would be cruel to ourselves!

You need to do this yourself.

It is not convenient for me to show up now. There are many people watching me behind my back!"

Wen Yiheng nodded.

Wen Yichen watched Wen Yiheng's back as he left the Dali Temple, and he knew that Wen Yiheng definitely could not have come in to drink water because he was thirsty, and that something must have happened.

Wen Yichen walked closer to the dry well and took a look, and naturally saw the crack.

Wen Yichen immediately understood that there might be something hidden in there, and he just wanted to take that thing!

Xiaotao watched Wen Yiheng leave the Dali Temple and go straight into the palace, then immediately came back to inform me that he was coming.

I really didn't expect that Wen Yiheng actually went to the Dali Temple. It seems that there are some secrets there.

After a while, Xiaotao came to tell me that Wen Yichen asked me to go to his house for a chat.

Under the cover of moonlight, I let Xiaotao lie on the bed wearing my clothes, and I hurried out.

I arrived at Wen Yichen's house, and Wen Yichen was already waiting for me at the door.

I went to the study with him. Wen Yichen told me: "I'm afraid Wen Yiheng went to the Dali Temple today to get the things that Lu'er hid in the cracks of the dry well.

It seems that the weather in Dayun Dynasty is about to change!"

I nodded and said, "It's just as I expected. It seems that he is ready to act. The most important thing for us now is to keep a constant in the face of change.

In this situation, we cannot act rashly.

If there is any important news to be delivered in the future, we should not meet. It is too dangerous!"

"But I want to see you! I'm afraid that if I can't see you, something might happen to you! You'll be kidnapped by someone again!" Wen Yichen said hesitantly.

I shook my head and said, "We shouldn't meet now, our identities have changed a long time ago.

Besides, now is the best time to check military salaries.

The military pay is so high every year, but only a little remains in the hands of the soldiers. I'm afraid most of it has already been embezzled by others.

Based on what I have learned recently, Li Jing spends the most money, so she is probably the biggest embezzler.

As to how she became greedy, there is no clue at the moment.

Under the current circumstances, Li Jing and Wen Yiheng must have taken some action. We must hurry up and give them a fatal blow."

Wen Yiheng sighed, looked at me with a little resentment and said: "Qingqing, is there really no chance for us? I will work hard on this case!"

I nodded firmly and said, "Under the current circumstances, there is absolutely no possibility between you and me. We'll leave the future for later.

Tomorrow, I have an appointment with Wen Qiao. Her father is from the Ministry of War, let's see if she knows about this matter."

Wen Yiheng asked me back: "If his father really did embezzle military funds, how would you treat her?

Should we continue to be close friends, or should we hate her?"

I didn't answer, and hurried back, making the excuse that it was too late.

I tossed and turned all night long. I was really stumped by Wen Yichen's question.

I really don’t know how I should view Wen Qiao if Lord Wen really did embezzle money.

As I was thinking, I fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Xiaotao woke me up while I was still dreaming.

Xiaotao has always been a gossipy person. She heard a lot of gossip today, so she came to wake me up.

I woke up to Xiao Tao's scream. Xiao Tao looked at me excitedly and said, "Miss! Don't sleep! Something big has happened!"

I immediately became alert and asked without stopping: "What happened?"

"Overnight, several high-ranking officials in the capital committed suicide!

He left a confession letter, writing down all the bad things he had done over the years!"

When I heard this, I became interested. I asked, "How did these people die?"

Xiao Tao frowned and said: "It's strange. These high-ranking officials died in different ways. Some died by taking arsenic.

Some people hanged themselves, while others stabbed themselves to death.

I heard from others that the deaths were all very strange.

Now everyone is saying that maybe the Feng Shui of Dayun Dynasty is not good. All these people died overnight!"

I shook my head and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!"

I washed and dressed myself and went to see Wen Qiao immediately.

When Wen Qiao saw me, she hugged me and said, "I was so scared! I thought I would never see you again!

But luckily you are still here!"

I patted my chest and said, "I am blessed with a good life, so naturally nothing will happen to me.

But you, you have to pay attention to your own safety.

I was kidnapped, but have you heard about the suicide of a North Korean official? "

Wen Qiao suddenly realized and said, "Of course I know this!

Today, when my father came back from court, he was sighing. I went to ask him and found out that those people had committed suicide!

The key point is that those people did as they had agreed, they all wrote their confessions and then committed suicide!

However, I seem to have heard my father say that the few people he knew who died were basically those whose families became rich overnight.”

What Wen Qiao said aroused my suspicion.

I jokingly said: "Could it be that he knew that the money he earned was not clean, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment?

Could it be that he saw something before he died?"

Wen Qiao shook her head and said, "No way, my father was with those people a few days ago, and he didn't look like someone who would commit suicide!

It's only been a few days and he committed suicide!

My father is still sighing today, and I don’t know what he is sighing about! "

I smiled and said: "Maybe it's because I saw my classmates die, so I feel a little sad!

But Qiaoqiao, is there anything particularly strange about your father recently?

I heard that those people were sneaking around for a while before they died, and then they committed suicide!"

Wen Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Dad has been sighing a lot lately.

I asked out of curiosity a few times, and my father told me it was because of military pay!

I asked him what was wrong, but he wouldn't tell me!"

I suddenly didn't want to talk about this topic with Wen Qiao anymore. I was afraid that I would know that Lord Wen had embezzled military funds.

Wen Qiao herself also cleverly avoided this topic.

Wen Qiao asked curiously, "I heard that you were kidnapped, and the Fifth Prince sent money to your house, but he didn't care about your situation. Is this true?"

I looked at Wen Qiao and said a little aggrievedly: "Maybe I am too girly!

I thought he would ask me a question too!

But he didn’t ask me a single question in the end. Maybe he was more rational and thought money was more important.”

Wen Qiao sighed and said, "Is the Fifth Prince really your best choice? Do you want to choose again?"

I shook my head and said, "Now that we are here, let's make the best of it. Since the Emperor has granted us the marriage, let's leave it at that!"

Wenqiao and I leaned against each other and started gossiping about other things. Wenqiao was still so dependent on me.

Wen Qiao was looking around, and I knew she was thinking about Luo Chen.

I asked Luo Chen to buy some chestnut cakes for us a long time ago, and he just happened to be back now!

Luo Chen bought a portion of chestnut pastry and a portion of lotus pastry. The lotus pastry was naturally for Wen Qiao.

I saw Luo Chen coming over, and I pretended to be tired, then went to sit on the other side and play. I knew they must have something to say.

Wen Qiao saw Luo Chen, then looked at the lotus cake in his hand, blushing and said to Luo Chen: "Thank you! You still remember that I like to eat lotus cake!"

Luo Chen took out a lotus cake and stuffed it into Wen Qiao's mouth and said, "It's okay! This is what I should do! Come and try it and see if it's delicious!"

As I watched the two of them chatting and laughing as they spent their days, I suddenly thought how nice it would be if time could stop at this moment!

After a while, we went home. Wenqiao and Luochen were both reluctant to leave!
