Chapter 138: It's a pity we met too late



With the money to knock on the door, and Tian Congxi still thinking about the food in Lu Wan's hands, the two of them felt that they had met too late. They ordered a table of good wine and food and started chatting in the box.

Lu Wan had already found out about Tian Congxi's preferences. Now, one of them was trying to get close to him, and the other was taking advantage of the situation. Soon, they became brothers.

Lu Wan knew that she couldn't drink much, so she gave Tian Congxi three cups of wine and drank one cup herself. After three rounds of drinking, Tian Congxi took the initiative to take her to his residence and asked her to continue drinking.

Lu Wan naturally nodded. Seeing that Tian Congxi was already drunk, she winked at Ying who had been protecting her closely.

Ying immediately understood, quietly left the house, and looked around for evidence that he had embezzled money. Of course, it would be even better if he could prove that this man was related to the Song family.

About half an hour later, Lu Wan saw the shadow that had gone and returned, and then he smiled and said to Tian Congxi, "Your Excellency is so kind, but it's getting late. I will visit you another day."

Tian Congxi was dizzy from drinking, but he could still hear Lu Wan's words clearly and waved at him.

After leaving the Tian residence, Lu Wan immediately looked at Ying and asked, "How is it?"

Ying then took out a thick account book from her bosom, which recorded in detail how Tian Congxi collected money every year to honor the Song family.

Lu Wan couldn't help but say hello.

She took the account book from Ying and smiled with satisfaction. She didn't believe that she couldn't bring down Song Ping and Tian Congxi, the two evil guys who were in cahoots with each other.

Moreover, with this ironclad account book, she had fulfilled the promise she had made at the time and could successfully report to Shen Yanlu and Changxin.

She put the account book in her pocket and said with a serious expression, "Ying, pack up and leave quickly before they notice."

"good."

Ying took the things that had been packed long ago, contacted the carriage that had been arranged long ago, and escorted Lu Jinxin back to Beijing overnight.

The two men traveled all night and arrived in the capital in the early morning of the next day before the city gates opened.

The soldiers guarding the city saw Ying Fei climb up the tower, and quickly took precautions, asking, "Who is coming?"

Ying said, "Don't be nervous." He took out a token from his body and showed it to them, saying, "Can we go in now?"

The soldiers looked at each other and finally agreed.

You have to know that the token this person showed was very important. It was a token that only the current general Lu Changxin had. With it, he could enter and exit the general's mansion, let alone the city gate. Naturally, they did not dare to stop him.

Lu Wan waited in the carriage for a while, then followed Ying into the city gate. It was still dark at this time.

Only when they saw the city gate completely closed did they breathe a sigh of relief.

They rushed back to the general's mansion at lightning speed. Lu Changxin and Shen Yan had already received the news and were waiting for them in the study.

"You guys are back? Is my sister safe and sound on the journey?"

Lu Changxin asked with concern.

"Of course." Lu Wan felt that she was confident now. She took out the account book with a smile and said, "Brother, Chen Yan, look at what this is?"

The two men took it, flipped through it a few times and smiled in surprise. This account book clearly recorded how Tian Congxi had extorted money from the people over the years in order to honor Song Ping.

With this, there is hope of overthrowing Song Ping. Even if the empress dowager tries to protect him, she will have to look at this glaring evidence.

"Lu Wan, you did a good job."

Lu Changxin couldn't help but praise her and touched her hair. Chen Yan's expression was no longer as cold as usual, but gentle instead.

If Lu Changxin was not mistaken, there was probably a hint of admiration in his eyes?

Unlike the happy atmosphere here, the Tian and Song families were already in an uproar. Tian Congxi knelt at Song Ping's feet tremblingly and said tremblingly: "Sir Song, it's not my fault. It was all that Boss Jin from the capital who deceived me. He must have taken advantage of his visit to your house to drink and stole my account books hidden at home."

"Waste!" Song Ping went up and kicked Tian Congxi in the heart, causing him to step back a few steps and fall heavily to the ground, covering his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But he still wiped the blood from his lips and said, "Sir, please spare me because I have worked hard for you for so many years. You are the nephew of the Queen Mother. Even if the account book is brought to the Emperor, as long as you refuse to admit it, they can't do anything to you!"

Tian Congxi said pleadingly.

Of course Song Ping knew that the Queen Mother loved him and would definitely protect him, but someone stole the account book that he asked Tian Congxi to guard so carefully so easily. On the surface, it was stealing Tian Congxi's things, but in fact it was a slap in his face.

She took the account book from Ying and smiled with satisfaction. She didn't believe that she couldn't bring down Song Ping and Tian Congxi, the two evil people who were in cahoots with each other.

Moreover, with this ironclad account book, she had fulfilled the promise she had made at the time and could successfully report to Shen Yanlu and Changxin.

She put the account book in her pocket and said with a serious expression, "Ying, pack up and leave quickly before they notice."
