After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 131 New Chess Pieces
After hearing this, Lin Han was furious. She wanted to raise her hand to hit Lin Miaoke.
Lin Miaoke quickly grabbed Lin Han's hand and said, "Do you dare to hit me? I want to marry the new champion. He will be my support in the future.
What about you? Where do you rely on? This Lin Mansion? You will get married one day!
If I were you, I would try to curry favor with Luo Qingqing. Who knows, after she becomes the fifth prince's concubine, she might be able to find a good marriage for you.
The position of the woman I'm looking for is not as high as hers, but at least I'm the legal wife who was married in a formal ceremony.
Although Luo Qingqing was just a concubine who entered the palace through a side channel, she had no choice but to marry the fifth prince.
Instead of being jealous of others, why not think about how to find a good husband?"
After Lin Miaoke finished speaking, she held her head high and walked forward without looking back.
Lin Han was extremely angry. Lin Han and Luo Qingqing were just fake sisters, so how could she possibly go to find her?
Luo Qingqing is now in a state where no one can look down upon her. In the past, you could still ask her out to play.
Now Luo Qingqing prefers to play with those legitimate daughters. Luo Qingqing thinks that her concubine daughter will also become the legitimate wife, and only legitimate daughters are qualified to play with her.
The only people Luo Qingqing can make friends with now are the legitimate daughters of some low-ranking officials.
This situation is much better than before when she could only play with concubines.
I drink tea and read books in the dark every day. As for those legitimate daughters, I don't need to flatter them.
They also want to flatter me, but unfortunately I don’t like these false friendships.
After I reminded Luo Wenqian, he also checked out Wen Yiheng's secret clique-forming activities.
I didn't expect Wen Yiheng to be so resourceful and he recently expanded his network in the military pay department.
Luo Wenqian also set his sights on the fat piece of meat of military pay. Now the border maintains a relatively peaceful side, but no one knows when in the future this peace will be broken.
The emperor allocated a lot of money for military training every year, but the military pay was easy to embezzle.
The army is stationed at the border all year round and basically never comes back. No one knows how much actually ends up in the hands of the soldiers.
This money is the easiest to embezzle if one wants to do so. By building connections between superiors and subordinates, one can take kickbacks from it every year.
The soldiers at the border have a low level of education, have been stationed at the border for a long time, and are cut off from a lot of information.
Even if they knew that military funds had been embezzled, no one would stand up and speak out.
Li Conghe, who is in charge of military pay, has also been giving gifts to Wen Yiheng recently.
From this we can see that if Wen Yiheng wanted to covet the military pay, he could easily get it.
Li Conghe also went to Wen Yiheng's house at night. Although he was dressed very frugally, he had two boxes of peach cakes in his hands.
The outer shells of these two peach pastries are peach pastries, but everyone knows what the inside looks like.
Li Conghe met Wen Yiheng, who now had some power.
In addition, with the admiration he received from many ministers in the past few days, he naturally became a little arrogant.
Wen Yiheng seemed to be a little indifferent to Li Conghe, and even became sarcastic when he saw that Li Conghe only brought two boxes of peach cakes.
Wen Yiheng looked at the peach cakes and said with some dissatisfaction: "Master Li, you came all the way here just to give me these two boxes of peach cakes.
This peach cake can be bought everywhere, is there anything special about it?"
When Li Conghe was in charge of military pay, many people flattered him and held him in high esteem every day.
He naturally knew how much power he had and how many people were eyeing the fat piece of meat called military pay.
Li Jing was able to receive the military pay only because he knew Li Cong and his subordinates, and he followed them in embezzling some of the money, but all of this was not the bulk of it.
Li Conghe has always been a smiling tiger. He doesn't put on airs in front of outsiders. Everyone thinks he is a good person.
But in private, he was a person who embezzled military funds and was not good to his wife and children, but no one knew these things.
Wen Yiheng's attitude made Li Conghe a little unhappy.
However, Li Conghe is a smiling tiger. Seeing Wen Yiheng's attitude, he doesn't want to cooperate with him anymore.
Li Conghe continued to pretend that nothing had happened and said cheerfully: "There is nothing special about the peach cake. But it is midnight and it is time to be hungry.
Eat this when you are hungry, it is still delicious. "
Wen Yiheng chuckled and said, "Master Li, Master Li. This is the prince's residence, so naturally there are all kinds of things.
This prince knows that the status of his mother's family is relatively low, but they are not so low that they cannot afford to eat this little peach cake.
There is no shortage of food in this mansion. If Lord Li is hungry, he can stay and eat something before leaving.
I heard that Lord Li's family often eats simple meals, so how about this, I will treat you to a good meal."
After hearing these words, Li Conghe still had nothing to understand. Since Wen Yiheng was ungrateful, he naturally couldn't continue to speak.
Li Conghe shook his head and said: "Although the simple meals are a bit bland, they make people feel more at ease.
Since the Fifth Prince doesn't like this peach cake, I'll take it back."
Wen Yiheng said: "Goodbye!"
Li Conghe turned to leave. Wen Yiheng seemed to have thought of something and said to Li Conghe: "Master Li, you have always been an upright person.
Why are you here in the middle of the night? Are you here to see if anyone has given this prince a gift?
Or do you think that this prince is not doing a good job?"
Li Conghe shook his head and said, "No. I just happened to pass by here. The peach cakes at Taosuyuan are delicious, so I wanted to let the fifth prince taste them.
If the Fifth Prince doesn't like it, I will take it away!"
Wen Yiheng nodded and said, "My father entrusted this matter to me, so he naturally trusts me.
In that case, I hope Lord Li will not do anything that harms others and does not benefit himself.
You have to know that this prince is the emperor's biological son. No matter what mistakes I make, I will never be executed!
But you are different, you are just a subject! If something happens, the consequences will be unpredictable!"
Li Conghe did not feel unhappy after hearing this, and then he said: "I will follow what the fifth prince said!"
Li Conghe left the Fifth Prince's Mansion in big strides. He thought Wen Yiheng would be a man with some brains, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
After Li Conghe returned, he opened the peach cakes and found that they were bars of gold.
Wen Yiheng never expected that the fat sheep that was delivered to his door would be thrown out by him without even looking up.
When my secret guard came to tell me this, I almost laughed to death.
Why is Wen Yiheng so stupid in this life? He really thought that in his previous life, he could ascend to the throne smoothly.
Li Conghe had been eating simple meals just to hide his tracks.
If one's food, clothing and other expenses were too luxurious, he would probably have become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of others.
I immediately went to find Luo Wenqian, and Luo Wenqian had actually been waiting for me early in the morning.
I was not surprised that Luo Wenqian was waiting for me.
He had long noticed that something was wrong with me, and last time I said it was for the honor of our Luo family, he believed it without a doubt.
After I entered, I said straight to the point: "Dad, let's go to Li Cong and Lord Li in private tomorrow!"
In fact, Luo Wenqian also sent people to keep an eye on the situation on Wen Yiheng's side. No one wants someone weaker than himself to become stronger.
Luo Wenqian sighed and said, "Will this work? Lord Li is famous for his impartiality!"
I shook my head and said, "He is impartial and just, but I don't know if it is true or not."
Luo Wenqian naturally knew what was going on.
I said to Luo Wenqian's surprise: "The military pay is managed by Lord Li. Why do you think he usually eats so little?
Military pay is such a huge piece of meat, who would be willing to give it up?
Lord Li went to find the Fifth Prince, but was kicked out by the Fifth Prince!
Whether we can capture Lord Li and obtain military pay depends on my father.
Fortunately, the Fifth Prince did not take the military pay, otherwise he would not even take our Luo family seriously.
When I meet him tomorrow, it would be best to try my best to distance myself from the Fifth Prince.
Whether you can win or not, you just have to try! "
After saying that, I went back because I still had to meet Wen Yichen.
I disguised myself and hurried out.
Wen Yichen is quite busy with his tasks right now, and he doesn't have much time to keep an eye on Wen Yiheng.
My arrival made Wen Yichen feel much more at ease.
Wen Yichen also knew that I came to see him, and I must have something important to tell him.
Wen Yichen immediately said worriedly: "Qingqing, what's the matter with you?
It's so late and you've come here.
It seems like something big has happened, right?"
I told Wen Yichen about how Li Conghe had run into a wall when he went to Wen Yiheng's house. Wen Yichen felt that how could Wen Yiheng be so stupid.
Wen Yichen also found out that Li Conghe might have embezzled a lot of money.
Before I could say anything, Wen Yichen spoke first: "It seems that I have to visit Li Conghe that day.
He is probably the main culprit for the corruption, but now that Wen Yiheng is investigating the corruption, he is wondering if he can get closer to him. If he can, the risks in the future won't be so great.
It's a pity that Wen Yiheng doesn't understand. I'll go visit him in two days. After all, if I get involved, I'll know how the military pay is embezzled.
We can also get a share of it, and then we can give it to the soldiers. This can also be regarded as minimizing the losses!"
I nodded, which was what I meant. The advantage of getting along with smart people is that you don't need to say it too directly, they will understand what you mean.
Wen Yichen asked again: "What are your plans next?"
I shook my head. I can’t say that I don’t have any plans, it’s just that they are not very clear!
Wen Yichen nodded and said: "The current situation is really hard to judge.
This naturally makes it difficult to decide what to do next.
But if you need anything, just come to me, I will help you in any way I can!"
I nodded, and there was another long period of silence.
Wen Yichen was the first to break the silence and said to me: "You will be marrying Wen Yiheng soon, so you must pay attention to your own safety.
I'm afraid he won't cherish it. But if he dares to bully you, just come to me. I will definitely help you get revenge."
After I heard this, I burst out laughing and then said, "That's impossible. Don't worry. You see, he's already floating.
How many enemies will he make in the court in the end?
I'm afraid he will treat me badly, and many people will petition the emperor to divorce me."
Wen Yichen thought about it carefully and it made sense.
I said to Wen Yichen: "You should find a good girl as soon as possible.
It’s impossible to be single for the rest of my life, right? "
Wen Yichen didn't say anything, but asked Awen to bring out a lot of rare treasures.
When I saw these rare treasures, I couldn't help but take a few more glances. I am the kind of person who can't walk when seeing rare treasures.
Wen Yichen looked at me with shining eyes and couldn't help laughing and said, "These are all for you, take them if you want!
Just think of it as adding something to your dowry!"
I didn't want to listen to Wen Yichen continue talking. I was afraid that I would burst into tears after listening to him, so I quickly packed my things and left.
If I didn't take these things, Wen Yichen would definitely say something to me that would make me feel very uncomfortable.
Instead of doing this, I might as well just take it down directly, which is quicker and easier.
The next day, I went to Baoguo Temple again. Since I asked Concubine Hui to help me, I should tell her the consequences of this help.
This time I didn't disguise myself. I just came over under the pretext of burning incense.
Wen Yiheng is now busy thinking about who to push out to ward off the disaster, and he is extremely busy.
He doesn't have much time to come and see me and Luo Qingqing.
Concubine Hui was also very friendly when she saw me this time. She couldn't wait to say, "What was the result this time?"
We nodded. This result was naturally expected.
I said to Concubine Hui: "The Emperor has asked the Fifth Prince to thoroughly investigate the entire court. I'm afraid this matter will keep Wen Yiheng busy for a long time!"
Concubine Hui laughed and said, "That idiot actually dared to take on this task. He is so stupid! The emperor is so smart, how could he not know the plot?"
I just asked him to be the bad guy! Unexpectedly, he happily took over! "
"He recently thought that the emperor valued him, so he wanted to do those things even more unscrupulously!" I said.
Concubine Hui reminded me, "He thinks the emperor values him, but he doesn't know that he is not far from death. You should keep an eye on Li Jing recently. I'm afraid that Li Jing has noticed something wrong.
But I don’t know if Wen Yiheng will listen to his mother. If he does, I’m afraid all the efforts will be wasted.”
This reminded me, and I immediately said, "Thank you for your reminder, Madam. I'll leave this matter to Qingqing. Everything is developing in the direction we expected."
