Xiao Jialan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yuan Chen mentioning the military camp. She knew that her husband was very clear about it.
Ye Jinming said: "But the food and grass needed by Beichen Military Camp are provided by the imperial court, so there is no need to spend money to buy them, right?"
Yuan Chen's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "What if it's not a regular army?"
Ye Jinming was shocked. He looked at Yuan Chen and said, "You mean someone is raising soldiers privately?"
Yuan Chen was just guessing, but buying food and grass every three months was indeed very suspicious.
He said: "No matter what, this is also a suspicious clue and we can continue to pursue it."
Xiao Jialan said: "I'm looking at other account books."
Yuan Chen looked at the sky and saw that it was already very late. He said, "It's time for you to rest. Don't rush into investigating the case. The most important thing is for you to recover from your injuries."
Xiao Jialan nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll look at it tomorrow."
She is indeed a little tired. Her heart has been tense since her rebirth until now, and she really needs a good sleep.
Yuan Chen and Ye Jinming left the room and went to the next door.
Ye Jinming said: "Thanks to Jialan, otherwise we wouldn't have thought that this account book was right under our noses."
Yuan Chen was noncommittal. The girl not only saved his life, but also did him a big favor. He didn't know how to thank her.
After thinking for a while, he said: "She is a girl who has no relatives and is living in Beichen. We can't let her be wronged."
Ye Jinming said: "This is natural."
After a pause, he added: "I don't know why, but when I saw her, I felt very close to her and felt that she was my sister."
He still remembered that when they met, Jialan hugged him and called him "big brother".
Although she also has a biological brother, he felt that the elder brother was the one who called him.
It was as if she had known him for a long time.
Yuan Chen said: "Then you treat her as your biological sister. I heard that there is a lot of chaos in Nanyue, and I don't know if her brother can escape unscathed."
The emperor of Nanyue had always been in poor health. After his prince died, he managed to hold on for another ten years, but now he could no longer hold on.
And he must choose an heir from the royal family before his death.
Xiao Jialan's brother was naturally involved in this civil strife.
Otherwise, she would not be a girl living in a foreign country.
Ye Jinming said: "If something happens to her brother, our Duke's Mansion will support her for the rest of her life."
Yuan Chen smiled and handed Xiao Jialan over to Ye Jinming. He was relieved because the Duke's mansion was clean and there were no messy people.
He asked: "What do you think about buying grain?"
Ye Jinming looked a little solemn: "If our guess is true, I'm afraid someone will do harm to Beichen's country."
He asked: "Have you ever doubted King Ping?"
Prince Ping Yuanhao is Yuan Chen's brother and the current second prince.
Speaking of Prince Ping, we have to mention his biological mother, Concubine Rong, who was the only concubine in the history of Beichen who was given death by His Majesty.
This story begins with the prince's biological mother, a female general who fought on the battlefield.
Back then, Emperor Taizu conquered the country and established Beichen. Five major families accompanied him in his achievements.
Yuan family, Ye family, Han family, Mu family and Qi family.
Among them, the Han family was granted the title of Prime Minister, the Ye family was granted the title of Duke of the State, the Yuan family was granted the title of Marquis of Yongning, and the Mu family was granted the title of General.
As for the Qi family, in fact, the Qi family were the ones who accompanied the late emperor from birth to death.
