After the matter of the cold palace was resolved, Su Lijin did not stay in the palace for long. She left the palace through the secret passage and went to another place.
Looking at the majestic gate of the Dali Temple, Su Lijin, who had turned into Jiang Bin, smiled.
She walked in very swaggeringly, and the people in Dali Temple were all familiar faces.
The people inside were a little surprised to see her, but remembering that she had been sent by the palace, they thought she was on some other errand and did not stop her.
Since Jiang Bin is a man, Su Lijin's words and actions are more casual.
After walking around, she quietly walked to Jiang Su's desk.
Jiang Su was not there at the time. She took out a note from her sleeve, put it in a book, and left as if nothing had happened.
After leaving Dali Temple, she didn't walk far, but waited by a lake.
The willows by the lake hang low, and the gentle breeze creates ripples on the surface of the lake, which makes people feel quite peaceful.
The recent events were very complicated, and Su Lijin had been imprisoned twice. It would be a lie for her to say that she was not physically and mentally exhausted.
When I relaxed at this moment, I realized that I hadn't enjoyed this kind of tranquility for a long time.
"Jiang Bin, is that you?" A tentative voice came from behind.
Su Lijin turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang Su, how are you?"
Seeing that she was really Jiang Bin, Jiang Su walked over excitedly, held her down, and said, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time!"
He really hadn't seen Jiang Bin for a long time, so when he found the note that secretly made an appointment with him, he was stunned for a while.
It was not until he actually saw Jiang Bin that he believed that it was really Jiang Bin who came to see him.
Su Lijin just smiled, feeling a little emotional in her heart. It was indeed a while since she had seen this person.
Seeing the genuine smile on Jiang Su's face, she joked, "If you don't show up, I'll have everyone at the Dali Temple go out and issue a missing person notice."
Then he laughed. Su Lijin was amused by him and shook her head to explain, "It's not that I don't want to come to you, but I really have a life-threatening mission on my hands and I can't get away."
Jiang Su got a little nervous when he heard the life-threatening situation and asked with concern, "Is it that serious? Are you okay?"
Spreading her arms, Su Lijin smiled and said, "Look, I'm not injured at all. I'm fine."
Jiang Su felt relieved and asked, "What exactly is it? Can you tell me?"
Hearing this, Su Lijin put away her jokes and said seriously, "I came to you this time because of this matter. Are you willing to help investigate this matter?"
Seeing her expression become more serious, Jiang Su also put away his smile and nodded without hesitation: "Jiang Bin, you have helped me so much. Your business is my business. I will definitely risk my life to help you."
These words were spoken with such sincerity that even Su Lijin was moved.
She punched Jiang Su and said, "What do you mean by risking your life? We must all live well. I will drink with you for decades more in the future."
Jiang Su didn't hide either and started laughing.
The two of them laughed and joked for a while, then Su Lijin took out an account book from her bosom and handed it to him: "Here, this is the account book related to this errand. Take a look first."
She watched Jiang Su take the account book, with trust in her eyes.
Su Lijin is not someone who trusts others for no reason. She does treat Jiang Su as a friend, but she is still cautious when it comes to such a major case.
To be on the safe side, she secretly investigated Jiang Su's background and wealth through Yaoyue Palace, and she almost knew everything about it.
After confirming that Jiang Su's family background was clean and that he had no signs of close contact with people in the imperial city, he finally decided to ask him for help in investigating the matter.
Su Lijin's eyes fell on the account book, and her heart sank slightly.
It's no wonder she's so cautious. The truth is, this case involves too many people and is too complicated, so she has to find an outsider to handle it.
Otherwise, if the employer fails to supervise the person and the case secrets are leaked, it will definitely alert the enemy and the consequences will be immeasurable.
She must not be careless in this matter.
Recovering from his thoughts, Su Lijin said, "This is the account book of the corruption case. Many officials are implicated. If...if you want to retreat now, I won't stop you."
Having said that, she still gave Jiang Su the right to choose.
Jiang Su's eyes fell on the accounts above, his eyes full of shock, which then turned into anger.
"They actually embezzled so much!"
Just a quick glance shows such a huge amount of money. It is conceivable that there must be a huge amount of silver behind the entire account book.
Gripping the account book tightly, his eyes were filled with determination: "Jiang Bin, I will not back down from this matter. Even if there are dangerous places ahead, I will still give it a try."
Hearing this, Su Lijin was deeply shocked. This was exactly her original intention to investigate the case without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Su also had this belief. For a moment, I was amazed and admired him.
"Okay, not only will you investigate this matter, I will also participate and provide you with assistance."
She said, "Don't be afraid of any tough bones we encounter. We must bite them off and return all the wealth they have embezzled to the court and the people!"
Jiang Su nodded solemnly, his expression unusually serious: "There is no time to lose, I will start investigating right away."
The two of them began to study the account book.
Jiang Su looked at the display to familiarize himself with it. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. In the end, his eyes, which were originally full of scholarly spirit, were also stimulated by the greed of the officials and filled with a bit of murderous intent.
"Jiang Su, what I'm thinking is that the accounts are a summary of corruption, and there are many complicated officials on them. Before we take action, we need to analyze and classify the officials in the accounts first, sort out the complexity, and then we can proceed."
