Chapter 133 Actually, someone can deal with them.
"If I leave, you'll be all alone in the palace." Lian Qiao looked at Song Zhimian carefully.
Although she hadn't known Song Zhimian for long, she knew that Song Zhimian was the only one in the palace who truly cared about her.
She and Song Zhimian are the same kind of people; both have secrets in their hearts and are helpless and alone.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's no big deal if I'm the only one left in the palace."
I can handle it.
You're doing quite well in the North; at least the people there aren't as complicated as they are here. General Shen has managed the North very well.
You are safe there!
"Lianqiao, you're not suited to be in the palace," Song Zhimian said with a smile.
Lian Qiao looked at Song Zhimian.
"Zhimian, I want to take revenge, and I also want to put my medical skills to good use."
I was thinking...maybe we could get some useful clues in the North.
Upon hearing Lian Qiao's words, Song Zhimian immediately waved her hand.
"Don't think about these things! Since you're going to the North and to be a free and unrestrained doctor in the Weiyuan Army, then focus on that matter."
As for your revenge...
"Lian Qiao, I have an idea, do you want to hear it?" Song Zhimian also looked at Lian Qiao.
Lianqiao nodded quickly.
"Go ahead! I'm willing to listen to anything you say!"
Song Zhimian nodded, took Lian Qiao's hand, and shared her thoughts.
"Lianqiao, you can't avenge yourself!"
We were only able to take down Cai Boju by pure luck.
But Cai Boju's backers are all incredibly powerful, and we can't make a move without absolute certainty.
So I think we shouldn't rely on ourselves alone.
Perhaps we can think of other ways!
"What method? You have an idea, don't you?" Lian Qiao asked hurriedly.
Song Zhimian hummed in agreement.
During this time, there were fewer people in Zixiao Pavilion, and Song Zhimian had more time to be alone, so she started thinking more.
Based on their current abilities alone...
At most, I can only trip up those things or something; as for doing anything else... it's really difficult!
Even though the King of Qi knew what Song Zhimian had said, he could not find any evidence.
Without finding evidence, Xiao Huaijin could not easily take action.
Therefore, Song Zhimian has been looking for a breakthrough for a long time.
“Lian Qiao, think about it, there is no evidence of my actions. Even though I am in the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi know what the Prince of Zhao and the others have done. There is nothing they can do about it.”
Because if one is not careful, it can easily be seen by others as a struggle for the throne.
"But your situation is different from mine," Song Zhimian explained to Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao remained silent, looking at Song Zhimian.
She wondered, what was the difference between two deep-seated hatreds?
What? Don't you understand?
Your family was targeted by those people because of your procurement of military supplies and medicines.
"Why are they targeting military supplies and medicines?" Song Zhimian asked.
"Silver!" Lian Qiao said immediately.
"Yes! It's money! They harmed Uncle San's family in order to plant their own people in the Weiyuan Army, for military power."
If they're targeting your Huimintang pharmacy, they're after your money.
Every year, the Ministry of War spends more than one million taels of silver to purchase medicines for the three major garrisons. It's impossible for them not to be envious of such a large sum of money.
They went to great lengths to secure the lucrative military supplies procurement deal through the Minjitang.
They'll definitely try to make money off of it.
There are essentially two ways to make money in this kind of thing.
Substituting inferior goods for superior ones, and making false or concealed reports.
They'll definitely use improper methods to falsify accounts.
"Since it's falsifying accounts, and it's related to military supplies and medicines, Lian Qiao, think about it, who would care more about this?" Song Zhimian analyzed step by step for Lian Qiao.
Lianqiao immediately realized what was going on.
"The Inspectorate!"
"Yes! It's the Inspection Department!"
From the day it was established, the supervisory department was tasked with investigating all of Da Yu's accounting books.
They dared to investigate the accounts of the Six Ministries, they could also investigate the accounts of all officials, and later they even wanted to investigate the accounts of the merchants!
"Now that someone has falsified the accounts for military supplies and medicines right under the nose of the Censorate, do you think Lord Ye will stand idly by?" Song Zhimian looked at Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao immediately understood what Song Zhimian meant.
"You mean you want Lord Ye to investigate the accounts of Minjitang?"
Then, by slowly unraveling the mystery, we can also find out the truth about our Huimintang clinic.
Why didn't I think of these things back then?
When the Ministry of Justice went down to investigate, they only found out that it was the work of a group of bandits; they couldn't find anything else.
If you were to check the accounts...
We'll definitely find out a lot!
Song Zhimian nodded repeatedly.
Both publicly and privately, Lord Ye would take action once he learned about Lian Qiao's situation.
"But... should I go see Lord Ye like this? Is that alright?"
"Will Lord Ye believe what I say?" Lian Qiao was still a little worried.
Song Zhimian gently patted Lian Qiao's hand.
"Lord Ye knows a lot of things. In short, she is definitely more than just the Minister of the Surveillance Department."
Lianqiao, believe me, instead of struggling to find evidence ourselves, it's better to ask Lord Ye for help.
If she makes a move, your family will basically have your revenge!"
Lian Qiao took several deep breaths before solemnly nodding.
She had originally considered going to the capital to file a complaint, but when she learned that the person behind the scenes was a member of the imperial family, she gave up on that plan.
If a prince breaks the law, can he really be punished the same as a commoner?
But after visiting the northern lands and seeing the emperor personally donning armor and fighting alongside the Weiyuan Army, he...
Lian Qiao's thoughts also quietly changed.
Perhaps... she still has a chance!
"When should I go to see Lord Ye? What excuse should I use to see Lord Ye?" Lian Qiao asked hurriedly.
Song Zhimian quickly gestured to Lian Qiao to calm down.
"In the past, it would have been quite difficult to see Lord Ye; one could only go to the inner palace."
But these past few days, Lord Ye has come to the East Palace almost every day!
"Don't worry, I will definitely find an opportunity for you to secretly meet Lord Ye."
Forsythia is a bit strange.
"Has something happened at the Crown Prince's Palace recently?"
"It's not that something's wrong at the Eastern Palace! It's just that everything in the capital is now under the Crown Prince's control."
His Majesty is going to attack foreign states again, and all the work has fallen on the Crown Prince's shoulders.
To ensure that the allocated grain supplies could be delivered to His Majesty on time, the Crown Prince had no choice but to bring out Lord Ye, the person that all the officials feared most!
Lord Ye has been so busy lately... I heard he only sleeps for less than an hour a day.
"Besides, I heard there's going to be some action in the southwest too!" Song Zhimian said with a sigh.
Lianqiao was startled; things hadn't calmed down in the north yet!
Is the Southwest region about to start afresh?
