"The old lady invited this Buddha statue, before the princess left the pavilion, or after the princess left the pavilion?" Lu Jia asked.

"Before." Xiao Yan said: "At that time, the princess went out of the cabinet and almost died, and then was saved by the generals of the neighboring country.

At that time, the princess took this national treasure with her.

Twenty-three years ago, I haven't been born yet, and it's been too long since I could find out what really happened back then. ”

Lu Jia smiled: "Unless the person himself says it, right?" ”

Xiao Yan didn't speak.

Lu Jia said: "There is another question, has this nunnery ever changed?" What was there twenty-three years ago, is it still there now? ”

This Xiao Yan can be sure, "Yes." ”

"Okay, thank you for your generosity, and the courtesy is still ......" Lu Jia took out the scroll he stole from his arms and threw it at Xiao Yan, "Someone is colluding with traders from other countries without permission, violating the forbidden sea, and making huge profits. ”

Xiao Yan took the file, but didn't open it, only looked at Lu Jia, "That's why you want to blow up Zhen Guogong?" ”

Lu Jia jumped off the table with a smile, "Lord Shangshu is really good at laughing, it's late at night, and lonely men and widows in the same room have a bad reputation for me, I'm leaving." ”

Picking up the bronze Buddha, Lu Jia turned around and left.

Xiao Yan didn't stop.

Open the scroll to see the record above.

Last year, the household department made a register and registered, and Yuhang paid taxes, and the transportation alone was 150,000 yuan!

Seeing this number, Xiao Yan's eyelids jumped in shock.

In fact, according to the practice of officialdom, the number of people registered in this way is at least twice as much as the actual income, that is to say, last year, Yuhang Guangcao transported a tax of at least 300,000 yuan.

It's just taxes.

In fact, taxes are only a very small part of the income, after all, the magistrates also have to make money.

But such a number is recorded in the register, doesn't the emperor feel that there is something wrong?

The emperor won't check?

Xiao Yan sat there with a gloomy face, thinking of the annihilation of the Pingwei Army, and thinking of the fact that he had followed that person to the Pingwei Army once when he was young, and it was winter at that time, and what the soldiers of the Pingwei Army were wearing.

It is a garment of padded clothing.

There is a serious shortage of military supplies.

For so many years, the Pingwei army has defended the most bitter and cold Qianzhou, but the military budget has never been sufficient.

Compared with the Pingwei Army, the Lu Family Army led by Lu Qingshan in Yuhang has sufficient military spending.

Why!

Although Lu Jiajun was also a large army, he had never gone on a campaign.

In Xiao Yan's heart, a thought vaguely popped up, and that thought made him break out in a cold sweat.

The downfall of the Pingwei Army, from the root, will it be related to the emperor?

Lu Jiashen even came with the bronze Buddha statue in the middle of the night...... Why, exactly?

Lu Jia, who was pondered by Xiao Yan, ordered the two of them to go straight to Bilian Nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing with the Buddha statue after going back.

By daybreak, the two men had come back without incident.

"How?" I didn't sleep all night, and Lu Jia and the others asked as soon as they came back.

Twenty-three years ago, Princess Yan was lured to the cliff in the mountain by the old lady of the Rong'an Hou Mansion and pushed down the mountain to her death.

The reason why the old lady started was for the rich dowry of the princess.

It is rumored that before the death of the first queen, she prepared a very rich dowry for the princess to ensure that the princess could live well at all times.

Later, the princess was murdered, but the old lady of the Rong'an Hou Mansion did not find her dowry, and her dowry disappeared.

Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne now, the dowry and the matter of the princess were gone. ”

Lu Jia was confused when he heard this.

"When the old lady of the Marquis of Rong'an killed the princess, the current majesty has not yet ascended the throne, so why did she attack this princess? If it was for the current emperor, then the emperor did not reward and promote the Rong'an Marquis Mansion after he ascended the throne.

Later, the Rong'an Houfu was favored again, because Xiao Yan and his mother were coveted by the emperor, and the Rong'an Houfu sold his daughter-in-law to seek glory, so he got the current glory.

I have always been unable to figure out this matter, the emperor has taken a fancy to the daughter-in-law of the courtier, according to the custom, didn't he let this woman cheat to death, and then get into the palace? Or, behead this courtier or send it to the frontier, and then leave this woman behind?

Why did the emperor go to someone else's house to cheat, and after the death of this woman, the emperor tolerated the Rong'an Marquis Mansion pinching him like this? Isn't that stupid?

Now I don't understand it even more.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion of Rong'an did that bastard thing at that time, who did it for? It can't be that the Marquis of Rong'an wants to swallow the dowry of other princesses? If you want to swallow the dowry, what better way is not to find a way to get the princess to marry into their family? Why kill? ”

Lu Jia raised doubts while sorting out his thoughts.

Chun Bao stood beside him, frowned and said, "What's so difficult about this, just arrest the old pious woman and ask if it's okay!" ”

Lu Jia glanced at her, "What a little clever ghost, why didn't I think of it." ”

Chunbao: ...... "Miss will play tricks on the slave and maid, why can't you catch the old pious woman?" ”

Lu Jia smiled: "If our purpose is just to know what happened back then, there is no problem in arresting her, and we can just kill her, but our purpose is something else, it is still useful to keep her."

But......

After so many years in this matter, the only one who can know the truth is the person concerned.

Catch her...... It's not that you can't catch her, I'll go meet her for a while tomorrow. ”

Just do it.

Early the next morning.

Lu Jia sent a few people to continue to go to the household to make wine, and he took Chunbao directly to the Rong'an Hou Mansion.

When she went in, it happened that Lu Wei came out of it.

Seeing Lu Jia at a glance, Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, with surprise on her face, "Why is my sister free to come back?" I heard that my sister has been very busy recently, not only opening a tavern, but also raising an unconscious prince at home, and now, she has gone to the household department to be on duty, and she has become a female official? ”

Lu Jia sighed.

The big mouth of the fourth prince, sure enough, it was not a secret overnight.

"Are you red-eyed?" Lu Jia asked with a smile.

Lu Wei looked at her, her hand on her stomach, her belly was slightly bulging, and she was already pregnant.

"What's red? Are you swaggering and deceiving under the banner of my father? I might as well tell you a word, the people from Yuhang will arrive soon, how long can you jump. ”

"You know I'm acting in my father's name? Then why can't my father think that I am worthy of training? ”

"Father will train you? Don't you even tell lies? Lu Wei snorted lightly, then raised his hand to help his hair and shook it, "Do you know what I'm about to do?" At the behest of my grandmother, I was about to arrest you, but you came at the right time, and I ran away.

This is when you are most sensible. ”

After speaking, Lu Wei gave an order.

"Come on, take down this person who is pretending to be Miss Three!"
