Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

"Go, go tell that old immortal about this. I was the one who killed her niece, hahahahaha, I killed her. She wanted to find someone to replace me and fulfill her dream. Go tell her, you must tell your grandmother about this!"

These were the last words spoken by Second Madam Su Ruxiu and Lin Zan.

Lin Yushu didn't expect that Su Ruxiu still hated the old lady before she died, and wanted Lin Zan to tell the old lady about this so that she could vent her anger after her death.

Lin Yushu did not sympathize with Su Ruxiu. She was guilty of a heinous crime. Too many illegitimate sons and daughters died at the hands of Su Ruxiu, not to mention a cautious concubine Chen.

It's just a pity for Lin Zan, just like her, his mother was killed at a young age, he grew up in false love, and suddenly found that the people around him were all wolves and tigers. It depends on whether he can stand up again after the setbacks...

After sighing for a while, Lin Yushu held the teacup and naturally fed it to Nan Rongjing's mouth. The blush that had just subsided on Nan Rongjing's face came back again.

"Although our marriage has been decided, Nan Huaishuo will definitely not give up easily. He has been eyeing the Ministry of Revenue's money bag, and I'm afraid he will take action soon."

This happened in the previous life, but at that time Lin Yushu was married to Nan Huaishuo, and my second uncle was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so he would side with Nan Huaishuo when something happened.

But Nan Huaishuo was greedy and asked Lin Jiang to find a way to marry Ye Wanling and completely control the Ministry of Households. From then on, his path to the throne was smooth and he was unstoppable.

Therefore, in this life, Lin Yushu must be on guard in advance against him taking action against Ye Wanling and the Ministry of Revenue.

Nan Rongjing took a sip of hot tea, and a wisp of hot steam came out of his head.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to keep an eye on it."

There is no need to say too much, as they know each other's thoughts.

"Do you have enough shadow guards around you? Do you want Mo Shi, Mo Feng and Mo Yun to come back and help you?"

Nan Rongjing started smoking again.

"You, you know everything?"

Lin Yushu glanced at him and said unhappily, "They are your shadow guards, and they actually came to drive the carriage for me. Your Highness really thinks highly of me."

If Lin Yushu hadn't been so perceptive and noticed that something was wrong with these three people every time they came to Prince Jin's Mansion, they would have been kept in the dark until now.

However, it seemed that Nan Rongjing's feelings for her started a long time ago, but she had never noticed it.

"They will follow you from now on. I have enough manpower here, so I don't need them."

The two chatted for a while before Lin Yushu left.

Nan Rongjing stared at her back in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. Finally, it was Mu Shang who woke up the confused Nan Rongjing.

"Your Highness, regarding this marriage...should we contact the Imperial Master, Taoist Lingxu?"

After the arranged marriage, Nan Rongjing became even more curious about Taoist Lingxu.

He seemed to be very aware of Lin Yushu's uniqueness. Since he brought me and Lin Yushu together, did he know that I had a private relationship with Lin Yushu?

But how could a Taoist priest who had lived in the palace for a long time know these things?

"No, this time he is not an enemy, but he is not a friend either. Let the secret players in the palace keep a close eye on him, but there is no need to take any other actions."

"Yes!"

-

Six days later, Ministry of Revenue.

In the past few days, countless girls and young men from aristocratic families in the capital were heartbroken over the marriage between Lin Yushu and Nan Rongjing. Some lamented that the love of their dreams had married someone else, some wept that their ideal husband had married someone else, and most were upset that they had lost such a good opportunity to cling to the powerful...

Even among the government officials, there were many people who liked to gossip. The clerk from the Ministry of Revenue who was in charge of transporting relief silver walked towards the treasury while talking about the beautiful couple who had caused a sensation in the capital.

The two of them opened the door of the Ministry of Revenue's treasury. The treasury should have contained 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver that was about to be sent to Xuzhou, but when they looked up, they froze in place.

"Why is this missing?"

"How is that possible? You must be dazzled."

"Really, really, if you don't believe me, check it out for yourself."

"It's really too little. Hurry up and report to the Minister!"

After a rough count, the two men discovered that a full 100,000 taels of silver were missing. 100,000 taels is not a small amount, not to mention that this is life-saving silver used for disaster relief. If even a penny is missing, they will lose their heads!

The two clerks looked as pale as death and crawled to the Minister of Revenue's room.

A moment later, the Minister of Revenue Song Zhizhang ran towards the palace in a daze, as if he had lost his parents, and even forgot to put on his official uniform.

The next day, the theft of disaster relief silver shocked the government and the public.

Ever since Nan Heying's party was liquidated, Emperor Ming has been clearing out corrupt officials both inside and outside the court.

In fact, few officials had clean hands, but Emperor Ming did not really want to catch all those officials who had embezzled money.

Emperor Ming was good at playing with people's hearts. He pretended to purge the court and the country, and then arrested and killed some treacherous officials as a show, so that he could quickly stabilize the court that was disrupted by Nan Heying's rebellion.

However, the theft of disaster relief silver would inevitably arouse Emperor Ming's anger at this time. The chicken to kill to scare the monkeys was right in front of him, and Emperor Ming had no reason to let it go.

As a result, all officials of the Ministry of Revenue, both high and low, were sent to the prison for questioning, and for a time the government and the country were in turmoil again.

Another two days passed, and the Yulin Guards completed their task very quickly, and a stack of confessions was handed to Emperor Ming's desk.

Amid the curious and even expectant gazes of the crowd, the Yulin Guards broke into the mansion of Duke Qing and captured the second master of the Duke Qing, Ye Shibo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The mansion of Duke Qing was filled with gloom and sadness.

The family gathered together to discuss the matter. Grandmother Ji's gray hair turned completely white overnight, second aunt Yao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and eldest aunt Du, after persuading Ji and Yao, turned around and sobbed from time to time.

Ye Wanling's body has basically recovered under Shen Mutang's careful care, but now she, who was originally lively and active, sits in a corner of the room with her second cousin Ye Huanzhi, looking listless.

Uncle Ye Fenghua and his cousin also hurried back from the Hanlin Academy and sat around Ji.

"Mother, this must be a misunderstanding. Although my second brother has a somewhat erratic personality, he has always been reliable and prudent in doing things. He would never make such a big mistake."

Cousin Ye Wenjin shook his head slightly. He looked like a weak scholar, but when he spoke, he had an aura of authority that made people couldn't help but believe him.

"It may not be a misunderstanding. Maybe someone deliberately set up a trap to harm my second uncle and our Duke Qing's Mansion."

Ji's old and wrinkled eyes gradually darkened. He raised his hand to stroke his white hair, and an old and dry voice sounded.

"Wen Jin is right. Shi Bo would never do such a thing. Someone must have framed him."

"Could it be that His Majesty... After so many years, is he really going to exterminate the clan of the old ministers who didn't support him back then?!"

Uncle Ye Fenghua was filled with grief and indignation. Although the old Duke of Qing was the teacher of the late crown prince, the late crown prince was a man of honor and integrity who had never formed a clique for personal gain or disrupted the order of the court.

The old Duke Qing devoted himself to learning and seldom asked about the affairs of the court.

Moreover, the former crown prince and the old Duke of Qing have been dead for many years, but Emperor Ming is still relentlessly pursuing the former crown prince's old friend.

For so many years, their Duke Qing Mansion had not even asked Emperor Ming for the hereditary title of Duke Qing. Being so cautious, could it be that they still could not escape the fate of destruction?

"If this is true, our Duke Qing's Mansion will not be able to escape this disaster sooner or later."

"Mother, what should we do now?"

"Tomorrow I will personally submit a petition to request that you be conferred the title of Duke of Qing!"
