Wen Wan got out of the carriage and scanned the surroundings, seeing that the surroundings were very quiet. Looking up, I saw a small temple with two lanterns hanging in front. The wind blows and the trees rustle. It was already surprisingly quiet, but the sound of the wind now was as loud as the sound of someone crying. It sounded so gentle and cold.
Wen Wan then remembered that she heard in the teahouse that the Shili Temple used to be very popular. Later, I don¡¯t know what happened, but it was often haunted, so it was abandoned. Hearing the sound of wind again, Wen Wan shivered. He hurriedly asked why he chose this damn place. Wouldn't have picked a good place. No place to hide?
Bingyao smiled and said, "Princess, there is no ghost here. It's just outsiders spreading rumors." Wen Wan saw the two people there, so she didn't say anything. Let the driver lead the way, while she follows behind, followed closely by Bingyao.
The three of them turned a corner and entered through the back door. Just as Wen Wan was thinking, she saw an old monk wearing cassocks walking over and said, "Master, come this way. This way" After hearing this, Wen Wan blinked her eyes. Could it be that this is one of their strongholds. Because it was a secret, it was covered up as being haunted. Thinking about it this way, I am no longer afraid. After turning two corners, we arrived at a small wing.
The old monk asked Wen Wan to go in while Bingyao waited outside. Wenwan asked Bingyao to go in with him. Bingyao shook his head and said that the man would not let anyone in, so only Wenwan knew. Wen Wan thinks this person is extremely weird. But when it came to this, I had no choice but to nod and go in.
As soon as he entered, he saw a man wrapped tightly in white cloth, like a mummy. And looking at it like that, it's probably a new one. Fortunately, although it looked scary, the face didn't change. Wenwan is very depressed. This person really has a close relationship with Dong Zhengwei!
Dong Zheng slightly looked at the black boy in front of him, and half of the stone that had been weighing on his heart fell away. He didn't expect that his speculation turned out to be true. "Princess, I'm sorry that I am injured and cannot salute the princess." Wen Wan sneered in her heart. After all this, she still asked for greetings and greetings. What do you want these false gifts for? However, Wen Wan was very surprised by his respectful attitude. The last time he saw Yan Qixuan, he was neither humble nor arrogant.
Wen Wan felt strange. But the man didn't move.
Dong Zhengwei looked at Wen Wan and didn't even say a word. He just looked at him calmly, as if he was looking at a stranger. No curiosity, no questioning. Dong Zhengwei nodded secretly in his heart. It seems that the rumored gentle princess is indeed extraordinary. "Princess. I also understand lip reading. As long as you speak, I can understand it."
Wen Wan still looked at him and did not ask.
Dong Zhengwei didn't care about Wen Wan's indifferent attitude. He said, "I know the princess is wondering how Xiao Xiao knew your identity. That day, you yourself didn't speak. It was the entourage around you who was talking in ventriloquism. Xiao Xiao happens to be able to lip read and ventriloquism." At that time, I was very strange. If I couldn't speak, why would I need someone else to speak for me? I thought it was weird at the time, so I asked people to pay close attention to what happened to me. The person who entrusted it. I just found out from a friend that the emperor gifted a royal horse to Prince Chun's palace. What's even more weird is that this royal horse is used by a boy from Jiangnan. The emperor's special doctor is actually from Jiangnan. A wild boy was treating illnesses. In addition, I had met the princess, and her extraordinary demeanor was not what ordinary children had, so I came up with this suspicion. Unexpectedly, the suspicion was true. ¡±
Wen Wan blinked her eyes, this person. He is worthy of being the number one detective, with just such a few clues. He connected these unrelated pieces of information together and guessed her identity. So, don't underestimate anyone. She will have to be careful in the future.
Seeing that he was seriously injured, Wen Wan spoke up and asked, "Tell me, why do you want to see me? Since I can get people to come, you can certainly trust me."
Dongzheng looked slightly gentle, and secretly praised in his heart that he was indeed the princess. "The reason why I am wanted is because something fell into my hands. Does the princess still remember that day in the alley?" , was also the day when my subordinates met the princess. On that day, in addition to the paintings, we also found a strange picture album. Based on my past experience, I speculated for several days. I didn't think about it. But the news was leaked and I was hunted by Mr. Luo Liu. With so many years of experience in handling cases, I guessed that this picture album was probably a secret account book, but I couldn't understand it. But I can guess that there must be a big secret in it. "
Wenwan glanced at him, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Where are the accounts?"
Dong Zhengwei stopped talking nonsense, "I have hidden the account book in a very secret place. I will take the princess to get it."
Wen Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're like you, yet you still take us there. Tell me where it is, I willAsk someone to find it. "
Dong Zhengwei was hunted for more than two months, like a frightened bird. Seeing her nonchalant look, he became anxious, "Princess, the Sixth Master of the Luo family pursued the young one relentlessly and even sent out many dead soldiers. If the young one had not been experienced in fighting against the enemy, he would have caused a corpse. Luo The sixth master is so cautious, and there are some vague suspicions. This account book is probably Jiangnan's secret account. Princess, Jiangnan's taxes are getting less every year, and they are already less than ten years ago. Half of it. This is the fundamental reason why the imperial treasury is empty now. Several adults participated in the concert, but now, countless people have died because of this account. The safety of the country is too great to be careless. The imperial court cannot make ends meet, and those corrupt officials do not know how to satisfy themselves. Princess, please let me take the princess with you to find the account book."
Wen Wan just opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed it again. No, is she lucky or unlucky? No wonder they had to pursue him with all their strength, and also spent so much effort to frame this man. Just imagine, holding something like this in your hand, isn¡¯t this looking for death? But seeing Dong Zhengwei's angry eyes, Wen Wan didn't want to delay time. He could only say, "Actually, they are all my Emperor's Grandfather's people. They are absolutely trustworthy. Therefore, if it is really the secret account you mentioned, it will be passed to the Emperor's Grandfather as soon as possible. Don't worry!"
Dong Zheng looked at Wen Wan slightly. After a while, he nodded and said, "Princess, I have a heartfelt request. I hope that the princess can copy the same account book again. When the secret of this account book is solved one day, I can Recover the lost tax revenue.¡±
When Wen Wan heard his words, her mouth opened wide. No way. Is this person crazy? How could it be possible that even the emperor's grandfather didn't believe it, but believed her even more. This man has a fever in his head. She has so much ability to recover so much tax. Those people didn't even eat her alive. She cherishes her life very much. Never do such a thing. Even if I want to do it, I will definitely leave it to my uncle.
Wen Wan thought of this and looked at Dong Zhengwei, feeling extremely defensive. wrong. This was probably a trap to lure her here and then drag her uncle into this quagmire. Think of this. Wen Wan became more vigilant. He even agreed without opening his mouth. In the past two months, she had heard the words from King Chun's mouth, and he had been thinking about it himself. Now I finally understand that Uncle Zheng is here. Only then can she live a good life. Only if Uncle Zheng succeeds can she live a good life in the future. otherwise. There is something wrong with Uncle Zheng. It is true that King Zhao has become the emperor, and she has only one way to die. Even if you don't die, you won't be able to live a stable life in this life.
Dongzheng slightly refused to agree, and refused to hand over the things. Wen Wan was so annoyed that she went out and told Bingyao that she planned to go back if this person didn't tell him. She really wanted to go back, not just to show Bingyao. Even if it wasn't a trap, she didn't want to get involved in such a thing.
She is right to want to deal with King Zhao. But I never thought about going against the emperor's grandfather. If the Emperor's Grandfather knew about it, a little detective would rather believe her than the Emperor's Grandfather, the lord of the world. She didn't even know something terrible would happen.
Seeing this, Bingyao pulled Wenwan into the house. Seeing the man, he said, "Why. Why do you want the princess to write a copy for herself? Only if you explain it clearly can the princess act better. Otherwise, you will cause trouble for the princess again."
Dongzheng chuckled slightly, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak ill of your Majesty. However, this matter is of great importance. I think that even if I hand over the account book to the Emperor, I will bury the truth in the end. At most, I will kill a few people." Let it go. I don¡¯t want so many people to die in vain, and I don¡¯t want this to end like this.¡±
Wen Wan was depressed, and there was nothing she could do. Although she didn't know the exact amount of taxes in Jiangnan. But there must be several million taels of silver. I have never heard that people die for money and birds die for food. If she wants to cut off other people's wealth, her life will be in danger. Moreover, Uncle Zheng must not get involved in this matter. Otherwise, his situation will be more difficult. And she won't interfere. .
This is definitely harmful and unhelpful. If it is true, looking at the person, the emperor's grandfather should have noticed it a long time ago, but suppressed it due to some external reasons. Since the emperor's grandfather is not ready to let it go. If she really interfered and King Zhao found out, what awaited him would be endless interceptions. She would never touch that thing. There are some things that you absolutely cannot get your hands on.
Dong Zhengwei looked very calm as he saw Wen Wan. He talked a lot, but the princess didn't make any promises to him. I sighed secretly in my heart, "I just want the taxes of these countries to be returned to the national treasury in the future. Don't let those moths eat them up. Adding burden to the people. Since the princess is not willing, then forget it. Princess, the account books are mine." It's hidden in the sixth grotto to the left of Sanli Bridge on East Street. You can find it if you look for it.?¡±
Bingyao went out immediately and gave instructions. Only Wenwan was left, following Dongzheng with his eyes wide open and his eyes wide open. Wen Wan still couldn't bear it and asked, "There are so many people, why do you believe me?"
This is what makes her strange. Her reputation outside is so bad! Why don't you ask Uncle Zheng to find her? However, fortunately, this person is looking for himself. If you go to Uncle Zheng directly. She was really worried that her uncle would hand her over like this and asked her grandpa to punish her severely. At that time, it must have been a big storm. It will definitely not be as good as my uncle's when the time comes.
What Wen Wan doesn¡¯t know is that if Dongzheng Weizhen went to find Prince Zheng. He died a long time ago, how could he still be alive now? As luck would have it, he happened to meet Wen Wan who was out having fun. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to escape for a few days before he would be killed.
Dong Zhengwei listened, with an awe-inspiring expression on his face, "The princess can give up all her wealth to be a disaster victim. She has a heart for the people of the world. I admire her a lot. How can I not believe in the princess."
After hearing this, Wen Wan was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word. I didn't expect that she would have such a tall image in the eyes of others. Wen Wan's face turned red as if she had a fever. Get out quickly. She asked the old monk who brought her here, how was Dong Zhengwei's injury?
The old monk said, "Don't worry, Princess, there will be no danger to his life. Take good care of him and he should be well in four to five months."
Nodding gently, that¡¯s good. Thinking about Dong Zhengwei's words, Wen Wan smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, just for such a reason, this person would come to find me. She really didn't know what to say. It turns out that her image in the eyes of others. Not as notorious as he is. On the contrary, her reputation outside is very good!
The people brought by Bingyao were very efficient and got the things back quickly. After getting them back, they made a copy of them. Originally given to the emperor, Wen Wan left the manuscript behind. She doesn't want this thing. That thing is like a hot potato, burning people's hands.
After getting it done. Looking at Dong Zhengwei again, he saw that he was also a tough guy, "What should you do?"
Dongzheng shook his head slightly and said, "It's lucky that I can escape for so long. In order to see the princess, my whereabouts have been exposed. If the people sent by the princess hadn't been in time, I would have died under their swords long ago. Anyway, it was his fate." One thing, though. It would be a small crime if the princess is implicated."
Wen Wan wanted to help him, but she was the only one who knew how much she weighed, but Wen Wan still admired this person in her heart. Asked Bingyao if he could deal with this person properly. Bingyao nodded in agreement. Wen Wan took the account book back to the palace.
On the carriage, Bingyao was speechless when she saw Wenwan throwing the account book to her and asking her to keep it. This princess, cough. Bingyao looked at Wen Wan and smiled bitterly. The princess is creating a problem for herself. Of course, it is also a very smart way. never mind. Let her keep it for now! It is much safer than leaving it with the princess. And, indeed it is. Many things are safer not to know than to know.
Wen Wan did not go back to the palace directly. She walked around twice and bought some things before going back. This will prevent people in the mansion from becoming suspicious.
Wen Wan didn't know what happened next, but the next day, she deliberately let Dongqing go out to listen to the gossip. Dongqing came back and said that Dong Zhengwei's whereabouts had been discovered, and he could have been caught, but at the critical moment, he was The two hooded men were rescued. As for now, I don¡¯t know where to escape.
And that account book was submitted to the emperor's imperial record as soon as possible. The emperor looked at it for a while, but didn't understand what it meant. Send it back and let the secret guards figure out what secrets this account contains. Is it true as Na Dong Zhengwei said? This is evidence that they accepted bribes and bribed officials in Jiangnan.
When King Zhao knew that Dong Zhengwei had been rescued, his face was so gloomy that he felt like it was raining. "What's going on? It's not that he was seriously injured. How could he escape so easily?"
Mr. Luo Liu said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, I don't know either! I thought I was sure of something, but two people ran out of nowhere, and their skills were amazing. The few people there were no match for them. After that day, there was no trace of Dong Zhengwei. I am still wondering who rescued him."
King Zhao asked, "It can't be his accomplice."
Mr. Luo Liu shook his head firmly and said, "No. The people who came back said that Dong Zhengwei was about to commit suicide at that time. He looked surprised when he saw someone coming to save him."
When King Zhao heard this, he also felt strange. "Then, has he seen anyone before? By the way, has the monk you mentioned been caught?" Master Luo Liu shook his head.
King Zhao looked at him angrily, and Master Luo Liu said cautiously, "Your Majesty, this account book was made by someone I hired. Without a secret method, it is impossible for others to know."
King Zhao thought for a moment, "Except for you?Does anyone know how to crack this account book? This matter is of great importance. Don't you get confused again? "
Mr. Luo Liu said with certainty, "No more."
King Zhao glanced at the sixth master of the Luo family and said, "Get rid of him. Although it is impossible for others to get the solution, there is a one-in-ten thousand chance. I can't take this risk. Do it more neatly."
Mr. Luo Liu felt a little sad, but he still nodded. That night, one of Mr. Luo Liu's most valued men, Qingqing, got drunk to death.
When the emperor knew the news, his face darkened. This matter ends here. Wen Wan didn't have any expectations. If it was so easy to take advantage of King Zhao, then why would he be so messy? Because of this, she decided not to get involved in the matter, nor did she reveal any information to Prince Zheng. Of course, the one left behind means there is none. After throwing it to Bingyao, she never asked again, as if she didn't know about it.
After several days, there was still no news outside. Dongqing went outside every day to inquire about news. As a result, as Dong Zhengwei expected, the matter ended in nothing. In front of Bingyao, Wen Wan was still as usual, without a trace of disturbance.
But after hearing the news, when she was alone in the study, she brought the chessboard over. Left hand to right hand, down to the back, showing a bright smile. In fact, her real thoughts are exactly the opposite of Dong Zhengwei. Dong Zhengwei was worried that the emperor would not investigate thoroughly, but Wenwan was worried that the emperor would investigate thoroughly. She hoped in her heart that the emperor's grandfather would not investigate this matter thoroughly. She hoped that this matter would be settled in the end. The result of leaving things alone is that you will want everything. Unexpectedly, the result was exactly what she expected. Well, very good, very good. (To be continued)
