Wei Xi still failed to send the ancestor away, and after feeding the ancestor and drinking medicine, he went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs with a dark face.
Tian Tonghai was imprisoned for two full days. When Wei Xi went to see him, he was still dazed and didn't understand why Wei Xi arrested him.
Wei Xi directly threw out the account book and booklet to question him, but Tian Tonghai was still puzzled, "The booklet is the list of officials who need to be tested for merit, and the account book is the running account book of Weichen's mansion."
"Lie!" Wei Xi kicked him, "I've checked the ledger and the roster one by one. The money on the top is paid according to the official rank, and the number of people recorded on the bottom is also consistent with the number on the roster. How dare you lie to me? "
Tian Tonghai shrank back, "Your Highness, even if it is true as you said, it is still a coincidence. You can't break the crime of a lowly minister with just the ledger and roster."
"What are you talking about!" Wei Xi's anger was not going well. She was angry with Xu Ningzhi in the mansion, but when she came out, someone still found her unhappy.
"Weichen...Your Highness, you have no proof." Tian Tonghai boldly raised his voice, "You shouldn't lock me up, you should let me go back."
Wei Xi kicked him to the ground, "You pretend I don't know anything? You're just a humble scholar, where did you get the money to buy such an expensive house? How much are you greedy for?"
"My minister is wronged!" Tian Tonghai knelt down and cried out his grievances, and argued, "Uncle Weichen is a merchant with a big business. He used to look down on me as a poor scholar. After high school, he was afraid that I would resent him and let him wear small shoes. You just gave me the house, no matter how courageous this humble minister is, he would not dare to covet so much money!"
Wei Xi looked angry, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Damn it!Nothing goes right!
Holding the ledger and roster, Wei Xi went out angrily, and bumped into Gu Qin and Yao Ze. Gu Qin looked at her in surprise, "I thought His Highness wouldn't come."
Wei Xi glared at her angrily, and was about to take a step when he remembered something, turned his head and said, "It's not that Ning Zhi hurt his wrist, I've been staying with her in the mansion, and finally got free."
Gu Qin frowned, "Miss Xu?"
"Yes." Wei Xi looked at her expression, "The teacup was broken, she touched it accidentally, and bled a lot, I feel so distressed."
The corners of Gu Qin's lips were drawn into a line, and she looked at Wei Xi unhappy.
"I'm going back." Wei Xi turned around.
Along the way, her mind kept turning. In the past 18 years, except to please Xu Ningzhi, she really didn't use her mind much.
There is no sign of her among the highnesses supported by all the officials, so she can't even find anyone to consult, let alone someone who will plan for her, she can only rely on herself.
She came back within a short time, Xu Ningzhi was very happy, and trotted over to meet her, Wei Xi sullenly, neither refused nor responded.
With his chin on her shoulder, Xu Ningzhi hugged her, "Aren't you happy?"
"Why am I happy about nothing!" Wei Xi pushed her away annoyed.
Xu Ningzhi pulled her sleeve with his left hand, "Have you gone to find Tian Tonghai?"
Wei Xi shook off her hand and backed away in disgust.
"I have a clue." Xu Ningzhi went to pick her up again.
Wei Xi looked at her suspiciously, "Really?"
"It's the house deed." Xu Ningzhi took it out of his bosom without any hesitation, "Tian Tonghai's house was bought for him by his uncle."
Wei Xi nodded and took the deed.
"But the former owner of the house was my uncle."
Wei Xi frowned, "You don't have any uncle."
"My mother's younger brother, isn't that my uncle?" Xu Ningzhi was referring to her aunt. Before she got engaged to Wei Xi, she wasn't allowed to call her that.
Wei Xi lowered his head to open the deed, and took a serious look.
"But that doesn't prove anything." Xu Ningzhi leaned over to read with her, his head resting on hers, "Xiaoxi, you have to check the register."
Wei Xi raised his head suddenly, hitting Xu Ning's forehead flushed red.
"What are you doing?" Xu Ningzhi blushed with grievance.
Wei Xi said with a cold face, "Where did you find this deed?"
"Just... Tian Tonghai's house." Xu Ningzhi rubbed his forehead and whispered, "Who made you mad at me all the time? I accidentally forgot."
Wei Xi just sneered and left the house without saying a word.
No wonder she would believe Xu Ningzhi's nonsense!
"Xiaoxi!"
Wei Xi turned a deaf ear, walked a little further away and blew the bone whistle, Yan Wei appeared, Wei Xi instructed him, "Someone may come from the mansion in a while, keep an eye on them, don't let Xu Ningzhi find out."
"Yes."
Clutching the deed book and register, Wei Xi took a deep breath and walked towards the city gate. She was restricted everywhere in the capital, and she couldn't check the register.
She counted the days and went to the side door guarded by Ying Rong.
Halfway there, she went to a tailor's shop to buy some clothes, and took a straw hat from a small stall. Then she fiddled with her face and tried her best to dress up.
When he reached the gate of the city, Wei Xi dawdled for a while, then walked over after seeing Ying Rong, and pretended to raise his arms for the guards to search.
Ying Rong took a look at her, took a step forward and took off her badge, looked at it and put it back again, then waved to the guard, Wei Xi managed to sneak out of the city.
The Shen family army was stationed ten miles away, Wei Xi ran briskly, and if she arrived earlier, she could have lunch with Shen Rongnian.
Filled with joy, Wei Xi ran faster and faster, and arrived at the garrison in less than half an hour. The guards stopped her immediately when they saw her.
"What are you doing!" the guard grimaced.
Wei Xi took off his straw hat, "Me."
"Who are you? This is where the army is stationed, don't run around, hurry up!"
Wei Xi took a breath and fanned the wind with his straw hat, "Is Miss Rong there?"
"Say you don't listen." The guard stretched out his hand and pushed her shoulder to drive her away, impatiently, "Let's go, hurry up, don't get in the way here."
Wei Xi remained motionless, and cast a sidelong glance at him.
"Hey, you little girl." The guard pushed her again in disbelief, this time Wei Xi fell back directly and sat on the ground.
The guard shrank his hand, "You want to blackmail me?"
"Sister Rong, he pushed me..." Wei Xi looked up at the person behind him with aggrieved face, "He doesn't even know me!"
The guard turned his head, but it was Shen Rongnian's elegant face.
Shen Rongnian on the opposite side was very helpless, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull her, "Your face is smeared like that... I didn't recognize it just now."
Wei Xi sat cross-legged on the ground, no matter how hard she pulled her up, "Okay, you don't know me either, and I've only been away from you for a few days."
"Little ancestor... Sister Rong admits your mistake, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Shen Rongnian pulled her up with half a hug, and dragged her inside, "I'm not afraid of shame when I'm outside."
Wei Xi hugged her tightly, "Sister Rong, I miss you so much."
"You've only been there for a few days..." Shen Rongnian sighed, rubbing the top of her hair, "Did you feel wronged?"
Wei Xi was really wronged, she was really fed up with Xu Ningzhi's anger, and she had to sigh again, what was her mistake in the beginning, and she actually chose Xu Ningzhi between Shen Rongnian and Xu Ningzhi.
"Since you are wronged, then don't go back." Shen Rongnian tightened his hands, and his voice was soft, "Can't you just stay by my side?"
Wei Xi shuddered, "No."
"Huh?" Shen Rongnian stepped back a little, touched her face lightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Are you with Xu Ningzhi..."
As soon as Wei Xi heard Xu Ningzhi's three words, his stomach was full of bitterness, "Sister Rong, you don't know that Xu Ningzhi is like crazy, she actually threatened me by self-mutilation!"
"So...you're softening your heart?" Shen Rongnian's face was grim, she knew that Wei Xi couldn't stand Xu Ningzhi, "If you don't care about her, she won't be able to sing much."
Wei Xi hooked his head and tugged on her sleeve, "Sister Rong..."
"What did you tell me before?" Shen Rongnian slapped her hand off, his eyes sullen, "After a few days with her, can you forget everything?"
Wei Xi checked his fingers, but didn't dare to say anything.
No matter what, she couldn't ignore Xu Ningzhi's life or death.
Shen Rongnian ignored her and walked straight in.
"Sister Rong!" Wei Xi quickly chased after her.
Shen Rongnian walked faster and faster, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Wei Xi had spoken nicely before entering the city, but now he didn't even want to say it.
Wei Xi chased her into the tent, and reached out to hug her flatteringly.
"Don't make any moves, I'm not your fiancee." Shen Rongnian directly shook off her hand without even looking at her, "You go find your Ningzhi!"
Wei Xi lowered his head, "I know I was wrong."
"And then? Or not change?" Shen Rongnian narrowed his eyes slightly, raised her chin with his fingertips, "Xiaoxi, you promised me."
If Wei Xi really couldn't let go of Xu Ningzhi, even if she felt unhappy, she could barely bear it, but Wei Xi had already promised her that she would give up Xu Ningzhi, and she had no reason to back down.
"I..." Wei Xi pursed her lips, a steelyard was shaking in her heart, and she had to weigh the two of them again.
Shen Rongnian didn't rush her, but just stared at her.
After a while, Wei Xi whispered, "I will drive her away."
"Hurry up? She's in your house?" Shen Rongnian's face became even more gloomy.
Wei Xi nodded with difficulty, and Shen Rongnian sat down without saying a word.
"Sister Rong, I really know I was wrong." Wei Xi knelt down next to her and assured her again, "I will drive her out as soon as I get back! I will never let her step into my house again. "
Shen Rongnian looked cold, "You came to me just to talk about this? What have you been doing in Beijing?"
"It's because of..." Wei Xi took out the deed book and register from his pocket, and told her about the list and Tian Tonghai, "Sister Rong, you have to help me."
Shen Rongnian frowned slightly, "The list? Who are there?"
"Tian Tonghai is one, and there is..." Wei Xi spit out the names of Gu Qin and the other four people, and finally frowned, "King Shenjun is also on it."
Shen Rongnian's face darkened. Shen Jun Wang Weizhao was the only person who could threaten them. Regardless of military power, the Shen Jun Wang, who was the first emperor and his mother's brother, was not inferior to Wei Xi, and his courage was far from what it is today. Wei Xi is comparable.
If everyone on this list is going to be their enemy, then this battle will be difficult, even King Shenjun will be difficult to deal with.
"Sister Rong..." Wei Xi carefully pawed her, the hair on the top of her head was soft and obedient, "What should I do?"
Tian Tonghai was imprisoned for two full days. When Wei Xi went to see him, he was still dazed and didn't understand why Wei Xi arrested him.
Wei Xi directly threw out the account book and booklet to question him, but Tian Tonghai was still puzzled, "The booklet is the list of officials who need to be tested for merit, and the account book is the running account book of Weichen's mansion."
"Lie!" Wei Xi kicked him, "I've checked the ledger and the roster one by one. The money on the top is paid according to the official rank, and the number of people recorded on the bottom is also consistent with the number on the roster. How dare you lie to me? "
