Mr. Jiang knew that this was his last chance, so he immediately told everything. He was not going to live well, and Master could not escape.

In order to prevent his crime from getting worse, Mr. Jiang also hid some things, for example, he was the one who pulled Master into trouble in the first place.

She described this matter as the fact that after her master discovered what she had done, he betrayed his own interests and threatened to help her hide these things only if he had to give her benefits.

Later, the master was dissatisfied that he didn't get enough, so he got involved.

Afraid that Chen Xi would not believe what she said, Mr. Jiang also took the initiative to reveal that he had kept a separate account book for all the money he had received over the years.

And this ledger is under the pillow in her room.

If Chen Xi doesn't believe it, he can go and find out if there is such a ledger.

Chen Xi waved his hand, and soon someone left to look for the account book in Mr. Jiang's room.

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

Chen Xi asked.

"ah?"

Mr. Jiang told everything he knew, but he didn't know what he needed to add.

"Things like ledgers can be falsified, don't you know?"

Chen Xi looked at Mr. Jiang with caring eyes, "Without physical evidence, the other party can say that you specially prepared to frame her."

"Master has a house in his hands, just outside Shuicheng." Mr. Jiang is not hopelessly stupid. When Chen Xi reminded her, she instantly knew what she should do. "Every time Master gets stolen money,

, will all go out of the city, if there are no accidents, the stolen money should be in the village outside Shuicheng."

Originally, Master Jiang was not worried at all about what Master Jiang said. She had a way to refute what Master Jiang said, and she would not let these things threaten her.

But Lord Jiang talked about Zhuangzi outside the city, which made Master very nervous.

Just as Mr. Jiang guessed, every time she got the stolen money, she would go to the village outside the city in order to smoothly transfer the stolen money to the hands of the third princess.

Over the years, I have transferred a lot of money one after another, but some of it still stayed in Zhuangzi and did not send it away.

It would be terrible if someone finds out by then!!!

Huang Shilang was keenly aware of the master's change, rolled his eyes, and said.

"Your Highness, since Mr. Jiang has been involved in corruption before, maybe this so-called evidence is just a cover-up for her."

"The truth of the matter is just Mr. Jiang's own words. If you believe her because of this, you may accidentally hurt innocent people."

"Such things have happened before. In order to survive, corrupt people pushed some irrelevant people to be scapegoats. I think it is better to investigate this matter clearly."

Huang Shilang's idea is good. As long as he delays for some time, the master should be able to get along and save himself. Even if he really can't think of any good excuse, he can still take the opportunity to escape.

When the time comes, the concubine is about to provide disaster relief, is it possible that she can still find time to investigate a master who has escaped?

"What Mr. Huang said makes sense."

On the surface, Huang Shilang was still her confidant, and Chen Xi was still willing to give her this face.

"Since it's the same as before, I will give you a chance to prove yourself. If you can prove that you are innocent, I will let you go. How about that?"

The master thought to himself that this was a good opportunity, so he nodded and agreed to Chen Xi's words.

"Come here, lock them all together."

When Chen Xi saw the master nodding in agreement, he had the two of them imprisoned together.

"My lady, what are you..."

The master thought that Chen Xi had gone back on his word, and that what he had said before was just an excuse to paralyze her, in order to catch her now.

"I'm tired," Chen Xi thought. "Let's talk about anything tomorrow. Just keep an eye on it and don't let anything happen."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, she left without any trace of nostalgia.

When everyone saw Chen Xi leaving, they followed Chen Xi's instructions and left.

Huang Shilang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and exchanged a look with the master, asking him to calm down.

After the master caught Huang Shilang's look, he quickly calmed down.

Even if there is no way to clear himself of the charges, with Huang Shilang here, escaping on his own will not be a problem.

"General Qi."

After leaving, Chen Xi did not go back to rest as everyone thought, but instead called General Qi, who had been hiding in the team from the beginning.

"What important matters do you have, Madam?"

After this period of observation, General Qi was also very convinced of Chen Xi. His attitude towards Chen Xi also changed from being perfunctory for the queen's sake to now rushing over as soon as he heard the call.

"I would like to ask General Qi to help lead a team of troops to send the silver to the south of the Yangtze River first." Chen Xi said the purpose straightforwardly.

"Why?"

General Qi was a little confused, "This place is not far from the south of the Yangtze River. If we set off tomorrow and work hard, we should be able to arrive in three days. Why don't you come with me, my concubine?"

"General Qi, do you think it's a coincidence that Mr. Jiang knows my whereabouts?" Chen Xi said nonsense.

General Qi was not a dull man, and he knew the fishiness of this as soon as he heard it.

"My lady, do you want to say that someone among them has leaked our whereabouts?"

"That's what I mean," Chen Xi said bluntly, "Every year, a large amount of silver is lost due to floods. This is not something that one person can do. It is most likely the result of the protection of officials in the Jiangnan area."

"Master Jiang is just one of them. We don't know how many others there are."

"I would like to ask you to lead a team of people and quietly rush to Jiangnan to provide relief. I plan to stay here and see if I can find out something."

What Chen Xi said was half true and false. She did not tell General Qi that she already knew who betrayed her whereabouts.

She stayed not just to investigate the corruption matter, but also to take the opportunity to see why Huang Shilang and the master met here.

Of course, Chen Xi was also wary of one thing. The reason why the original owner lost was because the disaster relief work was tampered with, causing her to lose the support of the people.

Now Chen Xi has come up with a trick to remove the firepower and let the Queen's confidants take care of this matter. Then even if Yan Lingqing does something small, it won't be her fault.

If conditions permit, Chen Xi plans to dig a hole for Yan Lingqing.

After listening to Chen Xi's words, General Qi was silent for a while, then nodded and agreed to Chen Xi's proposal.

"I will leave some people for you and let them protect your safety."

When Chen Xi was about to say no, there were still some secret guards around him, General Qi seemed to know that Chen Xi was going to refuse, and continued: "The main reason why the Queen asked me to follow you is to protect your safety. My Majesty has an order.

Naturally, I will go all out and leave some people to protect you, and I feel more at ease."

Chen Xi realized what General Qi meant. If he refused, General Qi would not personally escort the disaster relief silver, but would let others deliver it.

And Chen Xi's real purpose is to let General Qi send him off.

General Qi is the Queen's confidant. Even if something goes wrong, no one dares to get involved with the Queen.

If General Qi doesn't go, this matter will be meaningless.

If something happens at that time, unsuspecting people can completely assume that the other party has been bribed by themselves, so they secretly embezzled the disaster relief money.

Chen Xi asked General Qi to take action just to prevent this possibility from happening.

"Then thank you General Qi for your kindness."

That's good, if there are more people around to protect you, it will at least be safer.

Chen Xi didn't dare to look down on anyone now. The period of disaster relief was very important. It was at this step that the original owner was slandered, which laid the foundation for everything to be lost later.

You must never fall down on the same thing.

General Qi felt relieved when Chen Xi agreed.

The Queen has also asked people to investigate the corruption of disaster relief funds before, but in the end there was no result.

General Qi, as the Queen's confidant, naturally knew something.

It's not that His Majesty is unwilling to investigate further, nor is it because those who will be executed in the end are nothing more than scapegoats.

The Queen knows better than anyone else that if this cancer is not removed quickly, it will cause catastrophe sooner or later.

In the end, the reason why the Queen did not continue to pursue the case was because she accidentally discovered that behind these corrupt officials, there were actually people from the royal family.

Moreover, these corrupt officials are also related to the bandits in the mountains.

For the sake of the royal family's face, the Queen could only choose to turn a blind eye. As long as it was not excessive, the Queen could still endure it.

As the king of a country, the queen has to compromise in the end, let alone a princess?

Young people are always young and energetic. General Qi knows that even if he says it, he cannot make Chen Xi give up on this matter. It is better to let Chen Xi investigate on her own. As long as she knows these things, she will naturally give up on the matter.

Continue to investigate.

Chen Xi didn't know what General Qi was thinking. After General Qi left, Chen Xi immediately summoned his shadow guards and asked them to follow Huang Shilang.

I have an intuition that Huang Shilang should go back today to see the master who has been imprisoned in prison.

When the time comes, as long as she arranges for someone to secretly eavesdrop on what they say, she will know what Yan Lingqing's plans are.

Although this idea was very strange and nonsensical, Chen Xi believed it and immediately asked people to follow it, never letting go of any possibility.
