Chapter 90
"That just sounds reasonable, doesn't it?"

It has to be said that this method is brilliant.

It's almost perfect.

It's just a pity that even if you do something seamlessly, there will still be subtle traces.

"I'm also wondering how it was done. The silver taels in the cave had to be put in silently. There were so many refugees in Feng County at that time. How did they manage to hide it?"

An Ning has a guess.

"Perhaps it was premeditated. The official bank found in the cave is not the official bank for this disaster relief. Maybe it started planning before the disaster relief, or even before the riots. This is the way... Sleep."

Ruan Qingcheng was shocked again.

No!

This thing is really too unacceptable!
It would be terrible if there was really a plan early on, and it would have been eyeing those official bankers!

And this shows that the official bank in the cave was also embezzled from other disaster relief places.

"What does he want so much silver for?"

This incident simply refreshed Ruan Qingcheng's perception.

If the good prince doesn't do it, he will do some life-threatening things.

What is it for?
"Could it be... But it's impossible, no accident, the throne must be his. The Seventh Prince can threaten him to go..."

Are you looking for a court position...

No one believed it when it was told.

The dignified prince desperately wanted to embezzle officials and banknotes in order to collude with the court?

An Ning is much calmer.

She felt that all the impossible things could happen.

In her previous life, because she was married to Cang Lan and had the power of the General's Mansion, Cang Lan walked smoothly along the way without any twists and turns.

The only twist was that when the crown prince and the seventh prince were fighting, the general's mansion was destroyed.

But at that time, the crown prince had already secured the victory, so it was not so much that the seventh prince framed the general's mansion to collude with the enemy and treason the country.

It would be better for Cang Lan to take advantage of the trend, destroy the general's mansion and secure the throne, and kill the dog, it's over.

But now the plot has changed, she did not marry Cang Lan, the hidden plot has also been dug out.

There must be a reason for this.

Ruan Qingcheng still couldn't recover.

"It's fair to say that Prime Minister Xu conspired against him. But... the key is that the crown prince also participated in it. Aning, I can't figure it out. Why?"

"Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Rather than that, it's better to find out whether they have been corrupted by official money, whether they have secretly recruited soldiers, whether they have bought iron ore and other things. As for the reason, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Sooner or later the truth will emerge."

Having said that, Ruan Qingcheng was still a little uneasy.

always feel...

The sky is about to change.

I just hope that when the time comes, the mountains and rivers will not be disturbed by Cang Lan, and the people will be uneasy.

"I have asked Xiao Jue to investigate the prime minister's property secretly. If it was me, instead of taking the risk of transporting it elsewhere, it would be better..."

Ruan Qingcheng was surprised again: "It means that the official bank is in the capital?"

Anning nodded.

After all, it is too conspicuous to ship it elsewhere, and it will be exposed if you don't pay attention.

"Put it in Kyoto, little by little, turn it into something else and move it outside. The risk is small, and it is under the nose, so you can feel at ease."

An Ning cold light suddenly appeared.

If the crown prince and Xu Cheng really devoured the livelihood of the common people, then [-] deaths would not be enough to thank them.

In the afternoon, An Ning received a letter.

Inside is all the properties of Xu Xiang and the prince over the years.

Including all the properties operated by the offshoots of the Prime Minister's Mansion and all the people in the Prince's faction, all the details were investigated, including the private property of the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

An Ning immediately understood that it was sent by Gu Qingzhao.

It turned out that he had been looking into this matter for a long time.

These pages of paper are really heavy when piled up.

An Ning spent the whole afternoon looking at the stack of papers in the study.

Didn't finish watching until late in the evening.

Sure enough, Xu Xiang and the crown prince had a wide range of industries, including wheat, straw, etc., which are the livelihood of the common people.

There were also gold, silver, and iron mines, as she guessed.

But the scope is not large, it is within the scope of legal business in Daye.

There's nothing explicitly illegal about it.

There is no sale of private salt...

An Ning rubbed her brows.

Is this really their property?
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up the paper on the tabletop, and An Ning's eyes suddenly froze.

Some papers have a cross drawn on the back.

What do you mean?
An Ning carefully reorganized the paper just now.

It was found that many grain and grass shops were crossed.

And some iron ore...

Not right.

What did Gu Qingzhao want to say?
Early the next morning.

She originally wanted to have someone pretend to go to Xu Xiang's grain and grass shop to try it out, but she was afraid of scaring the snake away.

Out of doubts in her heart, she still went to find Gu Qingzhao.

The time she went there happened to be the time when Gu Qingzhao came back early.

At that time, Gu Qingzhao was still dressed in court clothes, and different from the gloomy temperament of that day, today's Gu Qingzhao carried a bit of morning dew and early morning breath.

An Ning stepped forward.

"Master Gu."

"Miss An is here."

The few times we met, he was never surprised.

Gu Qing took care of An Ning wearing a green satin suit, white fox fur around her neck, and a few traces of dew on her hair.

He frowned and said:

"The door is not locked, Miss An can go in directly from now on."

An Ning was taken aback.

Go straight in?

After all, no matter how good their relationship is, they just go in like this...

It's so bad manners.

While An Ning was thinking, the door had already opened.

A rush of warmth hits me.

It seems that only when she is expected to come, will the charcoal fire be lit in advance.

this care...
"Master Gu, is this charcoal fire unique to me, or does every girl have it?"

If Gu Qingzhao really only liked the girl in his heart, why did he say such inappropriate words just now.

There are many exceptions for her.

Gu Qingzhao paused with his fingers holding the door.

With his back facing An Ning, his eyes darkened.

Finally, he sighed and said helplessly, "Come in first."

His girl is still so smart.

An Ning did not continue to ask.

She sat on the little wooden chair again.

"I'm moving."

move place?

An Ning said strangely:

"Mr. Gu, where do you want to move?"

"Prime Minister's Mansion."

For some reason, when An Ning heard that Gu Qingzhao was going to move into the Prime Minister's Mansion, a strange feeling flashed in An Ning's heart.

"Mr. Gu, don't you like this environment very much?"

"It's not like I like it, but I just feel that I can live anywhere, so I chose a place where there are no people around."

How could he like this place.

Every moment since leaving her was cold, damp, and dark.

"I can live anywhere, but Gu will always marry a wife in the future, so I can't let my wife live in this kind of place."

An Ning paused as soon as she touched the teacup in his hand.
