The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

That night, at Prince Rui’s Mansion.

After receiving the letter, Jun Yizheng immediately went to the Marshal's Mansion in plain clothes at night and handed the account book to Xu Wanchou in the study.

"what is this?"

Xu Wanchou took the account book with some surprise and opened it to have a look.

After taking a look at the familiar notes in the account book, he was startled and quickly looked at the contents of the account book carefully.

After reviewing everything over and over again, he looked at Jun Yizhen with joy and surprise, "Third Prince, isn't this the account book of Ma Guangrong's selling of official positions and titles? Where did you get this from?"

"I didn't do it."

Jun Yizhen smiled and briefly explained the origin of the account book in front of him. He sighed and looked at Xu Wanchou, "Wanchou, this thing has a special origin. If I present it directly to my father, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it.

Now, I'm afraid you are the only one who can do this."

"Ah."

Xu Wanchou nodded in agreement.

But thinking of the Queen Mother, he still hesitated, "Third Prince, it would be best if I were to handle this matter, but the Crown Prince has the Queen Mother in charge after all, and she will definitely not sit idly by..."

"It's okay, this is just a drop in the ocean, the real fun is yet to come."

Understanding Xu Wanchou's concerns, Jun Yizheng took out Ruan Yunluo's letter and handed it directly to Xu Wanchou.

Xu Wanchou took the letter and opened it, his eyes lit up.

After a long while, he returned the letter to Jun Yizheng, who nodded and said, "Okay, since there is a killer move later, there is nothing to worry about..."

As he said this, he turned around and took down a rosewood box from the bookshelf.

He opened the box and showed Jun Yizhen the things he had found since the feces-throwing incident. The two of them discussed some details...

The next day, after leaving the Fengtian Palace for court, he asked to see the Imperial Study and handed the account book directly to Jun Yi Guang.

"what is this?"

Taking the account book from Eunuch Fu, Jun Yiguang frowned, thinking the font was somewhat familiar. After taking a look, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately glanced at Eunuch Fu next to him.

"You all go down."

Eunuch Fu bowed and immediately asked all the servants to leave.

"Yes."

After the servants agreed to leave, Jun Yiguang, with a gloomy face, quickly went through the entire account book.

"Humph!"

Jun Yiguang slammed the table with a cold snort, and was furious. "Well, my Tianzhong Dynasty has become a private treasury for these insect thieves to make money!"

"Ah!"

Jun Yiguang suppressed his anger and quickly looked through the account book again.

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, looked at Xu Wanchou who was kneeling in the middle of the imperial study, and asked solemnly: "Lord Xu, where did you get this account book? Is it credible?"

"Your Majesty, this is what I accidentally found at the scene of Ma Guangrong's death after he was assassinated. I have carefully compared it and it is indeed the handwriting of Ma Guangrong..."

"Ah."

Jun Yiguang lowered his eyes and glanced at the familiar handwriting in the account book, then closed his tired and dry eyes.

Then he opened his eyes, stared at Xu Wanchou, and suddenly asked in a cold voice: "Since this is the account book found at the scene of Ma Guangrong's death, why didn't you report the account book to me immediately at that time, but waited until now to hand it over to me?

Could it be that you are deliberately deceiving the emperor?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

Sensing Jun Yiguang's displeasure, Xu Wanchou quickly kowtowed and explained, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the Crown Prince after all. I am afraid that I have been tricked by a villain and I am worried that I have wronged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

I just want to be more cautious and verify everything as much as possible before reporting to Your Majesty..."

As he spoke, Xu Wanchou hurriedly took out another stack of books from his sleeves.

Holding the booklet above his head with both hands, he explained in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, since Ma Guangrong's death, in addition to checking the handwriting, I have also carefully checked the case files that Ma Guangrong handled during his lifetime.

What I am presenting in my hands are the doubts about the case in the files, as well as the confessions and evidences re-provided by the parties involved in the case.

The evidence included not only the accusation that Ma Guangrong abused the power of the Dali Temple to punish dissidents during his lifetime, but also many confessions that Ma Guangrong colluded with others to sell official positions.

I have checked again and again, and only after seeing that these confessions can be cross-corroborated with the contents of the account book, did I dare to report to Your Majesty..."

"otherwise……"

Xu Wanchou mustered up his courage and explained while holding the booklet in his hand and bowing his head: "Your Majesty, I would never dare to make such a rash statement to implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince based on just an account book..."

"Ah."

After hearing Xu Wanchou's well-reasoned answer, Jun Yiguang nodded.

He motioned to Eunuch Fu to give him the booklet as well. After flipping through the pages one by one, he nodded and said to Xu Wanchou in a slow voice, "Lord Xu, I'm really sorry for you. Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Xu Wanchou bowed his head again with gratitude on his face, and then he slowly stood up, "It is my humble servant's duty to share your majesty's worries..."

"Well, you are interested."

Nodding, Jun Yiguang glanced at the account books and booklets in front of him and sighed, "Alas, Lord Xu, please leave first. This matter involves many people after all. Please allow me to think about it. You don't need to tell others yet..."

"Yes."

Having anticipated that this matter would not be easy, Xu Wanchou nodded without objection and quickly said goodbye and left.

"Ugh……"

After Xu Wanchou left, Jun Yi Guang sighed, looked up and leaned back in his chair tiredly, thinking hard.

He was worried about how to choose among the officials who were dragged into the water and had their shoes wet. He was also worried about how he would handle the mourning for the empress dowager, who was so old after all. If she got angry and something bad happened, how would he leave the mourning stage...

At this time, a young eunuch holding a food box looked at Eunuch Fu from outside the door. After Eunuch Fu approached, he whispered a few words and handed a food box to Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu took the food box.

Carrying the food box, he came to Jun Yiguang's table and took out the delicious and milky white wolfberry crucian carp soup.

After taking a small bowl and testing the poison, he gently placed the crucian carp soup next to Jun Yiguang's hand, and at the same time bowed and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Duan said that since the war in the northwest, you have been working hard for days, and your eyes must be dry and tired... So today, the Queen Mother specially added some wolfberries to the crucian carp soup to improve eyesight... I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health and use a little..."

"Ugh……"

After hearing these thoughtful words, Jun Yi Guang sighed.

He raised his hand to take the soup bowl, and after tasting the fragrant and milky crucian carp soup, he smiled and sighed, "Alas, in this palace and outside the palace, Concubine Duan is the one who is the least troublesome..."

"That is."

Eunuch Fu agreed with a smile, "After all, Concubine Duan and Your Majesty have known each other since childhood, so naturally she is more considerate than others..."

"Ah."

Jun Yiguang nodded in agreement.

Thinking that he had been busy with official duties recently and had not been to Concubine Duan's palace for a long time, he ordered Eunuch Fu to put away the account books and books on the table, got up and prepared to go. Soon they arrived at Zehua Palace, Concubine Duan's residence...
