After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Xu Xiuqi was standing by the wooden carved window when a white carrier pigeon flew over.

He took the note that Wei Suxin had tied to the pigeon's foot, unfolded it, and saw that this was the threat.

It seems that it is indeed related to the struggle between princes.

The second prince's hands seem to be very long.

Xu Xiuqi took the replica of the registration book of the case of selling official positions and titles in his hand and flipped through the pages.

This is a trap that the Second Prince set specially for the Third Prince.

The subordinate of the Third Prince who was asked by Li Jianzhang to attack the Third Prince has now been killed.

Xu Xiuqi thought that since the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince did this together, these people who bought the positions must be involved with their people.

It would be great if Madam Liu was not Princess Jing, then she would be a ready-made witness.

Pity.

Xu Xiuqi went out, planning to visit each household according to the booklet during this period of time.

This made him discover something important. Many people knew that the matter of buying an official position started from a bookstore.

The owner of this bookstore is a subordinate of the Fourth Prince.

But if this happens, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince will be in trouble if they learn to survive by cutting off their tails like a gecko.

Xu Xiuqi's heart sank when he thought of this.

Xu Xiuqi thought of what Wei Suxin had said, "He just likes my money and likes me to help him make money. It's just that I was too naive before and couldn't see through it."

Xu Xiuqi felt sorry for the little girl, so he was deeply impressed by these words.

Thinking of this, I don’t know if things are going smoothly on her side.

Money? Make money?

Xu Xiuqi seemed to have thought of something. He cheered up and quietly went to the Dali Temple to take out all the files that had passed through Li Jianzhang's hands in the past three years.

Xu Xiuqi indeed found three things that were wrong. He also visited the victims of the case and the surrounding residents and discovered that Li Jianzhang must have accepted bribes.

In two of the cases, ordinary people even witnessed him taking money to do the work.

Xu Xiuqi found a few warriors and secretly protected the two civilians.

Xu Xiuqi took the files of these three cases to Prince Jing's mansion.

"Your Highness, take a look." Xu Xiuqi handed over the files of the three cases.

Liang Jiuan took over and looked at the cases one by one.

"How can the punishment for this crime be so light?" Liang Jiuan said with a frown.

"Li Jianzhang accepted bribes when he was judging the case," said Xu Xiuqi.

"Evidence?" Liang Jiuan asked.

After all, Li Jianzhang is the chief of Dali Temple and an official appointed by the imperial court. He cannot be slandered at will.

"There are eyewitnesses in two of these cases." Xu Xiuqi said, pointing to the case files of two of the cases.

"No physical evidence?" Liang Jiuan asked.

"No, it should be a silver note transaction, and Li Jianzhang should have spent the money. In fact, if you look at their family's private accounts, you should be able to find that his family's expenditure, his salary and the income from the family's private property do not match each other." Xu Xiuqi said.

"That's a solution. It can be used as evidence." Liang Jiuan said.

On the other hand, Li Jianzhang was working at the Dali Temple, but he heard a conversation between two clerks from the Dali Temple, saying that Mr. Xu, a subordinate of King Jing, had come to the Dali Temple several times.

Clerk, under King Jing, Dali Temple.

Li Jianzhang knew that something was wrong.

After finishing his shift, Li Jianzhang hurried back to the Li family.

As soon as he returned to Li's house, he went to Lu Wanqing.

"My wife, my wife, I have encountered some trouble in the officialdom. Can you help me and ask Taishan for help?" Li Jianzhang said to Lu Wanqing as soon as he entered the door.

He held Lu Wanqing's hand, looked at her affectionately, and waited for her answer.

"Okay, I can ask father for you. But you have to tell me what the trouble is, so I can tell him, right?" Lu Wanqing said after taking a sip of tea.

"It's nothing big, just two or three cases, and I took more than 10,000 taels of silver from people." Li Jianzhang said.

"I can pay this silver back if I grit my teeth. But I'm afraid my opponents have already found out about this. Wanqing, what should I do? I took this money in the hope that our lives can be better. If you follow me, you can live as well as the prime minister, without being so tight." Li Jianzhang had a look of regret on his face.

Lu Wanqing was surprised that he actually took so much money. No wonder he was only a small temple master and had a large family to support, but he didn't seem to be struggling financially.

Originally, Lu Wanqing thought that he was able to live such a life just because he was good at business, but she didn't expect that he was actually corrupt.

Seeing Li Jianzhang's face full of regret, and hearing him say that he did it for her and for life, Lu Wanqing softened her heart.

Lu Wanqing sighed softly and said, "I will go back and ask my father for you."

"Thank you, thank you, Wanqing." Li Jianzhang put his arm around Lu Wanqing's waist, held her in his arms, and said.

The next day, Lu Wanqing returned to the Lu family.

Lu Xiang was feeding the parrot with a faint smile on his face.

Lu Wanqing walked up to him and saw that he was in a good mood, so she mustered up the courage to say, "Father, Li Lang embezzled some money before. If he makes up for this money, can you help him?"

Prime Minister Lu turned to look at Lu Wanqing, "What did you say?! Embezzling money?"

Lu Wanqing nodded.

"I help him? If I help him, wouldn't that be aiding and abetting the evil? If you don't feel comfortable staying in the Li family, then don't stay there. Go back home and get a divorce. Your father can still support you." Lu Xiang said.

"I told you not to get married, but what about you? I don't know how you got so obsessed with him that you went on a hunger strike just to marry him. You really are..."

"What's wrong with me? He was corrupt because of me. He said he couldn't bear that I lived in the Li family and my life was worse than the prime minister's. So according to what he said, I must have harmed him."

"He said this, right? You believe what he said?" Prime Minister Lu was speechless for a moment.

"Divorce me or don't come back to the Lu family!" Lu Xiang said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" Lu Wanqing walked out angrily and returned to the Li family.

When Li Jianzhang finished his shift and returned to Li's house, he went straight to Lu Wanqing's yard.

"Wanqing, did you meet Taishan today? What did he say?" Li Jianzhang asked anxiously.

"Yes, he said I was bewitched and asked me to divorce him or not return to the Lu family," said Lu Wanqing.

"Why don't you talk to Taishan nicely? Why don't you beg him nicely?" Li Jianzhang said.

"Why didn't I talk to him nicely? You are wronging me!" Lu Wanqing said.

Li Jianzhang became impatient, "How did I wrongly accuse you again? You can't even handle a small matter properly."

"You. I can't even handle a small thing, and you, on the other hand, are so capable that you can embezzle more than 10,000 taels of silver." Lu Wanqing said to him in a veiled manner.

Li Jianzhang was extremely angry and rage-stricken. He suddenly became furious and slapped Lu Wanqing in the face.

Lu Wanqing's left face instantly became red and swollen, and a clear slap mark could be seen on the red and swollen area.

"You hit me, you actually hit me?!" Lu Wanqing looked at Li Jianzhang in disbelief, as if she saw him clearly for the first time.

Lu Wanqing ran out crying.
