What Shao Lecheng said seemed to make some sense, but General Miao and Miao Qinghua were both a little worried, fearing that something shameful would come out.
Ni Yueshan immediately spoke up: "Open it."
I was originally on guard, but when I saw the objects in the box, I was not surprised at all.
There are all antique paintings and calligraphy, gold, silver and jewelry. At a glance, the dazzling light is amazing.
Ni Yueshan walked closer and examined it carefully. "Roughly speaking, it would take the Grand Marshal's Office hundreds of years to earn this much money. I think the money may not be enough to recruit soldiers, but corruption and bribery are inevitable!"
Ni Yueshan spoke so calmly that Miao Qinghua and General Miao's expressions changed.
Jing Yuchen followed up and said, "Although General Miao was not in the capital before, if Miao Li was corrupt and accepted bribes, I'm afraid no one would believe you if you said you knew nothing about it."
General Miao's face was gloomy. No letters of treason were found, but it was difficult to say where these jewels came from. He would be hard to escape the charge of corruption and bribery.
Miao Qinghua frowned. Once one's status reaches a certain level, isn't it normal to embezzle and accept bribes?
It is something that almost everyone knows, but now that it is brought out into the open, it is indeed difficult to explain.
Miao Qinghua also had a gloomy expression.
General Miao frowned and said, "Alright, I'm upright and I'm not afraid of any flaws. If you want to catch me, just come at me!"
Jing Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Come here, throw the general into the prison. No one is allowed to visit him without my permission, including the Queen Mother!"
Miao Qinghua immediately glared at Jing Yuchen: "How dare you! I am the current empress dowager, and you actually want to control me!"
Jing Yuchen's devilish face was filled with a hint of casualness, and he responded with a rather innocent tone: "Queen Dowager, as a member of the Miao family, knowing that something bad happened to the Miao family, are you still bent on getting involved? Shouldn't you choose to avoid suspicion?"
Then Jing Yuchen raised his voice again: "Take the general away!"
General Miao did not resist and cooperated obediently. Miao Qinghua wanted to say something, but the gold, silver and jewelry were right in front of her. How could she deny it?
Finally, he snorted and left.
Jing Yuchen bowed slightly respectfully and said, "Farewell, Queen Mother!"
After Miao Qinghua left, Jing Yuchen didn't rush to take the treasure away. Instead, he ordered, "Bring the account books from the Taiwei Mansion and the treasury here. I want to check them carefully."
Jing Yuchen raised his lips slightly. Obviously, the absence of Miao Qinghua and General Miao did not mean that he would let things go.
Ni Yueshan said nothing and looked at him calmly.
Shao Lecheng was standing nearby. He rubbed his nose and idly looked at the jewelry one by one. "Tsk tsk, so many things, how many years have you accumulated them?"
"The Taiwei Mansion was relatively low-key back then, but I never expected it to be so lavish in amassing wealth. Why didn't I spot it back then..."
He used to love robbing the rich to help the poor, but he didn't even take the Taiwei Mansion seriously...
"What did you just tear up?" Ni Yueshan couldn't help but ask.
Shao Lecheng shrugged innocently, "Nothing, just a love letter!"
Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan looked at each other, both of them were obviously a little unconvinced, but there was no one else here at the moment, so they shouldn't lie, right?
Shao Lecheng seemed disappointed as he walked out, sighing as he walked: "Ah, even after becoming the Queen Mother, I still couldn't save the Grand Marshal's Mansion. I'm really useless!"
Afterwards, the account book of the Taiwei Mansion was found, but it was half burned. The housekeeper was forced to kneel on the ground, and the guard handed the account book forward and presented it to Jing Yuchen.
Jing Yuchen lowered his eyes to look at it, then reached out to take it.
"Why, you want to destroy the account books? Are you afraid that I might see them? Who are the people who secretly exchanged money with your Taiwei Mansion?"
The butler said nothing and was pressed to the ground, kneeling obediently.
Jing Yuchen took the account book in his hand and said to Ni Yueshan, "Madam, I have to go to the Taiwei Mansion to check the accounts. You are welcome to do as you please!"
After Ni Yueshan returned to the Regent's Palace, he went to the dungeon. Inside, the two women were still blindfolded. At this moment, they heard footsteps and immediately spoke anxiously: "Please report to the prince and princess that we are willing to confess, we are willing to confess!"
Ni Yueshan seemed amused and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Yes, someone spent a lot of money to bribe Ran'er and me, and then deliberately approached the Imperial Observatory to make it lie! Please, Princess, can you let us go!"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Very good, if you had confessed earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Then Ni Yueshan looked behind him and said, "Let him go!"
The two men soaked in the water for such a long time and deliberately put leeches in it. If they had not been trained, they might have confessed earlier.
After the two were untied, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly climbed to the shore.
Ni Yueshan warned, "I'm releasing you now, so sign your names quickly!"
Afterwards, someone presented a confession and the two were required to sign it, admitting that they were bribed by someone else to deceive the Imperial Observatory, but the name of the person who bribed them was Yi Wenxuan.
The two of them pressed their fingerprints obediently. Ni Yueshan reminded them, "Take good care of yourself in the palace. When we need you to testify, it's best not to play tricks!"
Afterwards, the two were taken away by servants in shock, and Ni Yueshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This drama was performed so realistically that if Jing Yuchen hadn't reminded him, Ni Yueshan would have really thought that they were people bribed by Yi Wenxuan, and then bewitched the Imperial Observatory.
