Chapter 60 News from the Crow



"Are you sure this account book is real?" Xiao Yangyao closed the account book after reading it, his face looking a little hesitant.

The steward standing before him firmly assured him, "Master, that man's brother-in-law is a centurion in the camp outside the capital. The evidence they obtained should be true."

Seeing that his master, King Han, still had some concerns, he anxiously said, "Master, you are in a very bad situation now. We can use this account book of Tao Zhihong's embezzlement of military funds to ask His Majesty for credit. His Majesty will definitely lift your house arrest in recognition of your meritorious service in exposing Tao Zhihong!"

Xiao Yangyao still felt that something was wrong after hearing this.

"After doing this, I will never marry Anle again."

Tao Zhihong and his father-in-law, General Weiyuan Wu Zhidao, held military power and were rare targets to be won over, so he was reluctant to take action against Tao Zhihong.

"I think it would be a good idea to hand this account book over to General Tao privately. I can then take this opportunity to ask him to marry Anle. I'm sure he won't refuse again."

The steward quickly persuaded him, "Master, Tao Zhihong's corruption in the military camp outside the capital has been discovered. Even if you help him conceal it temporarily, this news may have already been known to several other princes. As far as I know, some princes are not interested in marrying into the Tao family..."

Xiao Yangyao thought about it and felt that it made sense.

He first secretly revealed Tao Zhihong's crime to his father, and perhaps his house arrest would be lifted. After Tao Zhihong was convicted and no one was willing to pay attention to the General's Mansion, he would come forward to propose marriage, and it might be easier for him to marry Anle.

"Alright, let's do it! I will secretly write a letter to my father and deliver this account book to the person in the palace as soon as possible."

To be safe, it is safer to use your own people.

After Xiao Yangyao thought it through, he stopped worrying about it. He quickly walked to the table and wrote a secret letter.

After writing it, he carefully checked the secret letter again, folded it and put it away with the account book.

Seeing that his master had listened to his advice, the steward walked out of the palace in a good mood and left Prince Han's mansion.

Shortly after he left, a man in black appeared in the study.

"Take this thing to the palace and tell them to deliver it to the emperor."

The man in black took the bundle and left.

Half an hour later.

A crow landed in Tao Yuwei's yard.

He jumped onto her shoulder, his mouth hanging open.

[Little girl, this is bad. Someone has sent that thing to the palace.]

The constant croaking of the crows sounded irritating to Wu's ears and she thought it was unlucky.

[It’s hard to say, I’ll just go to the palace.]

It is very difficult for others to enter the palace at any time.

She had a badge awarded by Emperor Jianchang in her hand, and as long as there was no martial law in the palace, she could go whenever she wanted.

[Who has that thing now? ]

Tao Yuwei thought about it and realized that there were only a few masters living in the palace.

The other adult princes have already set up residences outside the palace.

[That thing is in the hands of the Seventh Princess Xiao Zixuan.]

[As expected of a brother's daughter. Hey, just because Xiao Zixuan picked a fight with me over the Sixth Prince, I knew she was the Sixth Prince's sister and a fangirl.]

[Besides this, what else did you hear? ]

Tao Yuwei enjoyed the maid's fanning as she swayed back and forth on the rocking bamboo chair.

Mrs. Wu sat quietly by the side and asked the maid to wrap daffodils on her nails.

[The Tian family, the Minister of Revenue, sent someone to chase a woman today, but she was taken away by a passing young man.]

Tao Yuwei knew who the woman Wu Ya was talking about.

She made a special trip to Tianshui Hutong just to provoke Tao Xueqi.

It seems that her work was not in vain.

The Tian family wanted to arrest her? Could it be that after meeting Tian Linwen, Tao Xueqi realized that he was doomed and changed her mind, and the Tian family found out, and they wanted to marry her off to bring good luck to their son?

【Who took Tao Xueqi away? 】

I originally wanted to hear a story about the Tian family mistaking someone for someone else.

As a result, a cloth seller from a dyeing workshop showed up.

She was very curious about who was so nosy as to come out and save the damsel in distress.

[Guo Buyan, the nephew of the Dali Temple Minister! ]

[Oh, it's him! Tao Xueqi actually ran into him. No wonder. Now things get even more interesting.]

[Also, several people died in Xiao Yuwei's prison department, and those people are related to you.]

Tao Yuwei nodded in understanding.

Without asking any more questions, he let Yunxiao feed the crow several pieces of mutton.

[If it's later, take your fellows to the bamboo forest in the backyard and wait. I'll have someone bring them some meat.]

The crow nodded happily.

Tao Yuwei stood up at this time and decided to change her clothes and go to the palace.

"Mom, I'm going to the palace to see the emperor and try some of the roast pork chops made there."

"It's dark now, and mother is worried. Wait a minute, I'll ask your father to send someone to go to the palace with you."

Mrs. Wu listened to her and Crow's questions.

Without waiting for his daughter to refuse, he didn't even wrap his fingernails and walked out of the yard quickly.

When she saw her husband, she quickly explained what had happened.

Tao Zhihong didn't care about his pounding heart, he immediately called a maid who knew martial arts.

"You personally follow the young lady into the palace. Once you're inside, you do this..."

Tao Zhihong made arrangements quickly and carefully.

Since his daughter wants to get the account book that was used to frame him, he can't just sit there and wait for death.

Once he gets the thing, it’s time for him to strike back.

When Tao Yuwei got on the carriage and entered the palace again, there was an extra maid in her carriage.
