After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Zhong Ning rested well in the attic for two hours and then had a delicious dinner.

Li Huai'en even came over to have dinner with her, which made her sick, especially since he kept staring at Zhong Ning and brainwashing her, saying that they should take a break today and he would take her to meet his parents tomorrow.

This way, they can settle the matter between them sooner.

As he was talking, he wanted to take action, but Zhong Ning pretended to be shy and dodged. Li Huai'en knew that he shouldn't be too hasty, so he left in disappointment.

But when he left, his eyes were full of the meaning that everything was under control.

Because he had already sent people to guard the attic tightly.

Zhong Ning had no expression on his face. After nightfall, he knocked out several little girls and guards guarding the door. Then he put on his nightgown and sneaked into Li's mansion. Soon, he found Li Jun's study.

In the study, Li Jun had just finished eating the sweet soup sent by his concubine, and immediately got up and went to the back house.

If Li Jun hadn't known that the study was a sensitive place and that no one should mess around with it, he would have sent someone to fetch his concubine so that he could be affectionate with her.

Li Jun went to the backyard, which was convenient for Zhong Ning.

She released a burst of energy, which immediately froze the two servants guarding the study door in place, and then she searched the study for a while.

Since she traveled to this time and space, she seemed to have touched many different study rooms. Such places usually have hidden compartments or secret passages.

In addition, after becoming a princess, Zhong Ning specially consulted experts in this field, so she has become more and more skilled in finding secret compartments and passages.

Not long after, he found the mechanism behind a picture of pine and crane. Zhong Ning pressed the mechanism on the wall lightly, and then a small secret room appeared.

In the secret chamber, there were a pile of secret letters and several brocade boxes.

Zhong Ning put all the letter boxes into the space without even looking at them.

He then conducted a thorough search in the study and found a small key in a porcelain vase on the antique shelf.

Upon closer inspection, this study can be considered very exquisite. All the equipment inside is extremely luxurious. Many of the books on the shelves alone are unique copies, and the porcelain scrolls are even more rare treasures.

Zhong Ning waved his hand and put all the things inside into the space. He left the study and went into the treasure room in Li's mansion.

Zhong Ning carefully studied the internal structure of the warehouse and found that the outer warehouse was mostly filled with cloth, ornaments, jewelry, etc.

But if you knock carefully on the wall at the end of the warehouse, you will find that it makes a hollow sound.

It can be seen that there is another secret in this warehouse.

Zhong Ning fumbled around the warehouse, and then found the mechanism to open the secret door under a slightly loose floor tile.

As soon as it was opened, boxes of silver came rushing in, filling up the entire warehouse.

Zhong Ning opened one of the boxes to check.

Wow, it is said that the three cities of Xiyan were affected by the disaster, and Xining is naturally among them. Last year, there was a severe drought, and the court issued a lot of disaster relief silver for local areas to purchase food.

But now, most of this disaster relief money has appeared in this warehouse. I am so excited to see so much money.

Zhong Ning thought about it and decided that she couldn't touch the money. It was government silver and at least it had to be used as evidence to bring down Li Jun right now.

To be honest, even if this silver is found out and passes through the hands of those adults, I wonder how much will be left.

So, she needs to think carefully about how to deal with it.

In order to prevent Li Jun from reacting and moving the silver to other places, Zhong Ning felt that he had to act quickly and not give him any time to react.

Fortunately, she had made arrangements.

On the eve of coming to Xining, she had sent someone with her token to Xicangying, the intersection of the three cities, more than 20 miles away from here.

There are 10,000 soldiers in the Xicang Camp, who are responsible for controlling the three cities outside the capital and serve as a barrier outside the capital.

Now, if she wants to take action against Li Jun, she naturally has to ask the Xicang Camp to send troops for help.

Judging by the time, it should arrive tomorrow.

Zhong Ning left the warehouse and only took some rare books, scrolls, porcelain, gold and silver from the open warehouse. As for the official silver in the secret warehouse, she did not touch a penny.

Back in the attic, Zhong Ning took out the secret letter he got from Li Jun's study. From the secret letter, it can be seen that Li Jun has been secretly working for Prince An and Prince Lu.

Prince An and Prince Lu were the best friends in the palace since they were young. Because Prince An had been discussed as the crown prince, he was kept under strict surveillance and only had a few secret guards and palace guards at his disposal.

However, because Prince Lu was good at fighting, he had stockpiled a large number of troops in his fiefdom Jinzhou over the years. Jinzhou borders the Northern Di and is also one of the northern defense lines.

In addition, Li Jun actually revealed to Prince Lu in the letter the information about the latest firearms developed in Kyoto, and even sent people to infiltrate the Firearms Bureau to learn about the general situation of the firearms.

In other words, the formula has been checked very carefully. He has not succeeded yet, but he has already ordered the informant lurking inside the Firearms Bureau to speed up and steal the formula for making firearms.

In this way, Prince Lu will have a chance of winning when he goes to the capital one day.

Zhong Ning's eyes were bloodshot and his heart was in unbearable pain. Why are there so many traitors and running dogs in this world?

Is the imperial court not good to them?

Wouldn’t it be good to have peace in the world?

Just for that supreme position, just for the so-called merit of following the dragon, one can be so cruel!

Open several other letters one after another.

One of the letters asked why the revenue had decreased recently. Li Jun explained that it was because the court had been suppressing the company too harshly recently, and it was difficult to find new goods that met the requirements, so he had to wait for some time.

Others said that the industry had been moved to a secret place, and that the tea bricks and salt needed by Beidi would be delivered in the near future, so His Majesty should rest assured.

Zhong Ning closed his eyes and sneered in his heart.

She should have known earlier that people's bottom line will never be the lowest, it will only get lower.

He put down the secret letter and opened another brocade box that he had brought with him. The key was used to open this lock.

With a click, the brocade box was opened. The box, which was about six inches high, was filled with silver bills, each of which had a face value of one thousand taels.

This money was either the silver embezzled by Li Jun or the silver he intended to send to Prince Lu. In any case, no matter who it was given to, she accepted it with a smile.

A thick stack of silver notes, at least three hundred thousand taels.

One year to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.

Although Xining City only has a county magistrate, this county magistrate is directly controlled by the imperial court. There is no other government office above him, and he is no different from the prefect.

Li Jun has been an official here for at least ten years. It must not be easy for him to accumulate such a fortune. Zhong Ning put all the banknotes and secret letters into the space and then snapped his fingers.

In the darkness, a assassin suddenly appeared and knelt before her. Zhong Ning asked nonchalantly, "Has Han Link sent anyone?"

Han Lin was the commander of the Xicang Camp.
