A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

Luo Huaian's heart tightened, and he quickly signaled Zhang An and Yun Jiu to hide. The three held their breath, and only heard footsteps getting closer and closer, mixed with whispers, as if several people were talking.

Luo Huaian looked through the gaps between the shelves and vaguely saw several dark shadows stretching out in the moonlight, as if they were coming deeper into the warehouse.

He thought secretly in his mind and decided to keep quiet for the time being and wait for the other party to get closer before responding.

At this moment, a deep voice echoed in the warehouse: "This batch of materials must be used up as soon as possible. Someone above has noticed..."

Another person said, "Don't worry, we have already arranged it. Someone will come to pick up the materials tomorrow and replace them with qualified materials."

Upon hearing this, Luo Huaian was furious. It turned out that all this was a premeditated act of corruption.

He clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his palms, but he forced himself to stay calm. Zhang An and Yun Jiu also looked indignant, but they also did not act rashly.

The air in the warehouse seemed to freeze, and every second was filled with tension and depression.

Luo Huaian quickly planned a countermeasure in his mind. He knew very well that it would be difficult to directly fight with the strength of three people alone. He patted Zhang An and Yun Jiu on the back gently, signaling them to prepare to retreat.

As the shadows gradually moved away, the warehouse returned to silence. Luo Huaian and the other two also left quietly.

After returning to his residence, Luo Huaian immediately wrote down in detail what he heard. He knew that this evidence alone was far from enough.

In the following days, he, Zhang An and Yun Jiu paid closer attention to the movements in the warehouse, trying to find and collect more evidence. He wanted to make the darkness behind this exposed.

They knew that this silent battle had just begun, and they had to be extremely cautious in every step.

Finally, after a period of investigation, they successfully collected more conclusive evidence.

In the study of Yuan Mansion!

Murong Xuanyi complained harshly to Yuan Ying, accusing her of being hard to find all day and all night recently.

Yuan Ying hurriedly smiled and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have been busy with trivial matters recently and neglected to serve you. This is a sin. Please allow me to show my apology with some intimate gestures."

After that, she placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"Your Highness, look, are you satisfied now? No matter how busy I am in the future, I will always make time to accompany you and never let you feel lonely again."

There was a hint of playfulness and apology in Yuan Ying's words. She knew very well that her busyness in recent days had caused him to feel a little dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuanyi couldn't help but smile. That smile showed both his doting on Yuan Ying and his cherishment for this deep affection.

He sighed and said, "Xiaoying, I'm just worried about you. Lord Li from the Ministry of Works is the brother of the Imperial Concubine's mother. It may not be easy to get to the bottom of this matter."

"Besides, my father has always been lenient with him. As long as he doesn't go too far, he will usually turn a blind eye and not investigate further."

"But if we stop here, wouldn't that just encourage their arrogance?" Yuan Ying said indignantly.

"Of course we can't let it go easily." Murong Xuanyi's eyes flashed with determination, "We just need to think about it carefully."

Yuan Ying said calmly: "Don't worry, I already have enough evidence in my hands. Once the evidence from Luo Huaian's investigation in Huaiyang Prefecture arrives, I will go directly to the emperor to report them."

"It is not a good idea to present it directly to the emperor." Murong Xuanyi pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"The Imperial Concubine has always been favored by my father. In addition, her family, the Li family, has a complex and deep-rooted influence in the court. If I report this matter directly to my father, I am afraid he may not be able to make a decision immediately. I need to consider it carefully."

"Then what do you think should be done?" Yuan Ying looked at Murong Xuanyi.

"It would be better to hand over the evidence to the Censorate and let them impeach him. The Censorate has always been upright and will be able to thoroughly investigate this case." Murong Xuanyi suggested.

He continued, "In this way, we can avoid fighting alone and also use the power of the Censorate. Why not do it?"

"Okay, let's do it." Yuan Ying felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

She was in an especially good mood, and pecked his cheek again, saying with a smile, "This is a reward for you!"

She was about to stand up, but Murong Xuanyi pulled her back swiftly and made her sit steadily on his lap.

He leaned over with a gentle gesture, his eyes shining with affection, and kissed her gently and deeply, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into this kiss.

…………

On this day, Yuan Ying was sitting in his study, immersed in the world of books. Suddenly, a burst of brisk footsteps broke the silence in the room, and a servant hurried in and respectfully reported: "Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Rui has arrived outside the mansion and came to see you."

Yuan Ying frowned: What exactly does this Prince Rui want to do? He is the son of the Imperial Concubine. It seems that they were secretly investigating the Ministry of Works and accidentally leaked the news.

Yuan Ying closed the book and sighed inwardly, knowing that what was to come would eventually come.

In the side hall, Rui Wang Murong Xuanye was leisurely drinking tea. When he saw Yuan Ying walk in, he put down his teacup and raised a playful smile. "Master Yuan, how are you these days?"

Although his words were polite, his eyes were sharp, as if he was searching for something.

Yuan Ying spoke directly. "Your Highness, why don't you just speak directly? Beating around the bush is a waste of time."

"I heard that you were investigating the Ministry of Industry recently. Is that true?" Prince Rui went straight to the point without hiding his intentions.

Yuan Ying's heart sank. Sure enough, he came here for this matter, but he remained calm on his face, "It's just some small things, not worth mentioning."

"It's a small matter?" King Rui sneered, "Do you think I don't know that you are secretly collecting evidence? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise..."

"Oh, what else? Is His Royal Highness Prince Rui afraid that I will eventually trace the case to someone else, so he comes here to plead for him?" A trace of disgust appeared in Yuan Ying's eyes.

King Rui's expression changed, "You are challenging the emperor's authority!"

"I'm just doing my duty." Yuan Ying said righteously.

Suddenly, His Royal Highness Prince Rui smiled and said, "No wonder my father favors you so much. It's a pity that you were not born in a royal family. It's difficult for you to bring order to the world by your own efforts."

Since ancient times, the royal family and court officials have maintained checks and balances with each other. His Royal Highness Prince Rui's words were ambiguous, and Yuan Ying naturally understood that no matter how powerful she was, she could not be more powerful than the royal family.

"So what if he's from the royal family?" Yuan Ying stood up suddenly, staring at Prince Rui sharply, "Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as common people. Once you break the law, you can never escape the punishment!"

King Rui's face was gloomy. He didn't expect Yuan Ying to be so tough. "Well, what an impartial and selfless Lord Yuan. Since you don't want to drink the wine, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, King Rui turned away.

Not long after, Yuan Ying received the detailed evidence that Luo Huaian had brought back with great effort, which undoubtedly exposed the serious corruption within the Ministry of Industry.

Just as Yuan Ying was about to hand over the evidence to the Censorate, a sudden assassination attack came upon her silently like a poisonous snake in the dark night...
