Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

Chapter 425 Finding the Accounts

Jiang Yue originally thought she could take some time off, but now it seems that she cannot relax until the matter is completely resolved.

She summoned all the Xuanwu soldiers and looked at Xue Wen:

"I'm going out to meet Princess Xining. Xue Wen will stay here to strengthen his training. Remember, you must not let your guard down in guarding Lindu City."

"And there's Ding Ping. He's a soldier defending the city but he hasn't shown up for a few days. He has disregarded military regulations. When we find him, we'll arrest him and punish him according to military regulations!" Jiang Yue thought, he had already been demoted to a small soldier by her, so he probably wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Yes!" Even though Xue Wen wanted to go with them, he knew that the defenders in the city could not be left without someone.

Seeing Mu Heng coming to report, Jiang Yue asked anxiously,

"how's it going?"

Naturally, the sooner this matter is over, the better.

Mu Heng said truthfully:

"Mu Chengfeng will assist in the investigation. With his help, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Okay!" Jiang Yue thought, it's time to get rid of Mu Yun and Zeng Guangren.

Otherwise, things might change after she leaves.

Therefore, she went to find the Minister of Justice and told him about Mu Heng's assistance in the investigation.

Wen Liang was grateful to hear that there had been new developments.

Jiang Yue briefly explained to Mu Heng that she was ordered by His Majesty to go and meet Princess Xining, and then continued:

"You and Xue Wen stay together to protect the capital!"

"Yes!" Mu Heng accepted the order.

At this moment, he had the same idea as Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue thought of something.

"I have already established a good relationship with the Minister of Revenue in the name of His Majesty. If you want to look for the files, you can go there smoothly."

"Yes." Mu Heng thought to himself that the general took everything into consideration.

...Jiang Yue set out. Since defending the capital was a heavy responsibility, she only took all the Xuanwu troops with her except Xue Wen and Mu Heng.

While ensuring the smooth reception of Princess Xining, the city of Lindu will not be threatened.

Jiang Yue set out with more than 200 Xuanwu soldiers.

The journey out was peaceful and calm.

They rode at full speed.

Two days later, they arrived at a small town.

The town is bustling with traffic.

The soldiers had been traveling for a long time and had been sleeping in the open air for the past two days.

Although Jiang Yue was in a hurry to travel, she also combined work and rest.

They had some free time, so they just found a place to eat as they did before.

After dinner they continued on their journey.

...In Lindu City, Mu Heng continued to investigate what happened in the past and the current treason.

Today, Mu Heng went to look for Mu Chengfeng again.

At this moment, Mu Chengfeng was also waiting for Mu Heng to come find him. In order to rescue his father as soon as possible, he was exhausted.

The moment he saw Mu Heng, he took a step forward and said to him anxiously,

"Cousin, you are finally here."

Mu Heng tried his best to ignore Mu Chengfeng's face full of contempt and walked closer to him.

"Have you checked all the accounts?"

Mu Chengfeng nodded vigorously, and immediately took Mu Heng to his father's study. Pointing at a stack of accounts, he said to him:

"It's all here."

An imperceptible chill surged in Mu Heng's heart.

He touched the accounts with one hand and started checking them from the first one.

Mu Chengfeng saw this and shook his head:

"I have seen all of these, and I have listed them one by one. They are all the accounts between my father and Zeng Guangren. They can be handed over directly to the Ministry of Justice."

"In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, the accounts must be clear at a glance." Mu Heng said as he continued to check the accounts.

Mu Chengfeng was glad.

"Fortunately, my Mu Mansion's housekeeper did his job conscientiously and kept the accounts clear at a glance."

He knew all the income and expenditure in the mansion.

He also knew that his father had given Zeng Guangren a lot of benefits over the years.

After Mu Heng flipped through the book, he asked,

“Why are there only accounts from the past two years in circulation?”

"Isn't this enough?"

"Of course not enough!"

Mu Chengfeng called the butler again and asked him to bring all the account books.

Soon, the study was filled with account books.

Mu Heng and Mu Chengfeng began to work day and night to check all the accounts of the transactions between the Mu Mansion and the Zeng Mansion over the past ten years.

"It turns out that my father has been in contact with Zeng Guangren for the past ten years."

Mu Chengfeng suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"It's been so long."

Suddenly, he shook his head and said:

"No, these accounts can only prove that my father and Zeng Guangren are in cahoots with each other!"

"The accounts alone are far from enough. Next we need to prove the fact that my father was coerced by Zeng Guangren."

This was also what Mu Heng had promised him before.

Mu Heng nodded and said:

"This is natural."

"How to prove it?" Mu Chengfeng has been worrying about his father's affairs in recent days, and he just wants him to be released from prison as soon as possible.

Mu Heng pondered for a moment and said:

"A conspiracy ten years ago coerced your father."

Once he was caught with something, he had no choice but to obey his orders.

"What do you mean by that?" Mu Chengfeng was confused.

"Conspiracy? Could it be that my father knew some unknown secrets of Zeng Guangren and was controlled by him, and his life has been threatened since then? What secret could it be?"

"Leave the rest to me." Mu Heng didn't stay any longer and left the Mu Mansion holding a thick account book.

Mu Chengfeng suddenly felt a little panicked. Finally, he thought that his father would be released from prison soon. He looked at Mu Heng's back and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

Mu Heng, ah Mu Heng, once you rescue my father, I will definitely find a way to get rid of you.

After Mu Heng left the Mu Mansion, he immediately sent the accounts to the Ministry of Justice and asked Wen Liang to review them first.

Look at it with gentleness,

"I never thought that Mu Yun, who seemed to be unfamiliar with Zeng Guangren, secretly gave him so much money."

Mu Heng clasped his fists and said:

"Minister Wen, the account books are incomplete. We still need the help of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Ministry of Revenue?" Wen Liang was also an old fox. How could he not see that Mu Heng wanted to use this incident to overturn the previous case.

Thinking of the old case, I couldn't help but think of Mu Yun and Zeng Guangren, and suddenly I felt like all my meridians were opened.

...Mu Heng came out of the Ministry of Justice and went to Cui Wanqian's house.

When he entered Cui's mansion, no one wanted to make things difficult for him because of his status as a soldier.

Mu Heng went straight to the point and said that he had something important to deal with, which was what he wanted to see Minister Cui.

Cui Wanqian responded and looked at Mu Heng, puzzled.

"Did the young general ask you to come?"

He was thinking that last time Jiang Yue took 5,000 taels of silver from him for grain, but until now, he still hasn't said anything about how the business is going.

So he was still thinking about the money and wanted to know when Jiang Yue would settle the accounts with him.

"Lord Cui." Mu Heng bowed with a respectful attitude.

"Lord Wen asks you to go to the Ministry of Justice."

...On the other side, Jiang Yue led the Xuanwu Army to continue on their journey.

Finally, on the second night, they discovered the guard of honor ahead.

Thanks to their lightning speed.

Song Jie came to report that everything was normal around him.

Jiang Yue gave the order for the Xuanwu Army to advance cautiously.

Until the two sides met, the Xuanwu Army wanted to complete the reception mission as soon as possible, so they became extremely vigilant.

Without waiting for the other party to ask, Jiang Yue looked at the team and said in a deep voice:

"This general is here to pick up Princess Xining on the orders of His Majesty!"

At this time, a clear voice came from the carriage in the middle of the guard of honor:

"Thank you for coming to pick me up, General. Please lead the way."

Jiang Yue listened and frowned slightly.

This was not Singh's voice.

"May I ask, what is the princess's name?"
