Qingyun Weiyang

Chapter 22: Detention

"Director Liu, based on your guess about the Nalan family, it's a bit arbitrary to conclude that someone embezzled the disaster money." Yun Jin couldn't see that someone wanted to cause trouble, and pointed the finger at her commander. She will not show favoritism, but she will not let anyone cover the sky with one hand.

"What the queen mother said is so true, I also feel strange. Why the Nalan family donated money and don't give a list, it's really unbelievable. Merchants are most afraid of unclear accounts, so there must be a detailed list. Could it be that someone put it away?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence. Your Excellency Lang is appointed by the Empress Dowager, how can you accuse Sang and scold Huai?" Cui Shangshu suddenly retreated to advance, but in fact it added fuel to the flames and put Yunjin in a dilemma.

Na Lanqing remained silent, calm and composed, even her eyes never changed, she was surprisingly calm, I don't know if she had predicted everything or she was born with aura.

Even though it was obvious that someone wanted to get rid of her, she had no intention of doing so, and she wanted to see what tricks this group of people could play.But Yunjin's heart was already agitated, and the Secretary of State must have felt that Lan Qing had made suggestions for her, forcing King Yong'an and the Grand Scholar to retreat one after another, and finally took action under threat.

She believed in Nalan Qing in her heart, and felt that she had the ability to solve the trouble in front of her, but she kept silent, making Yun Jin not know how to speak, so she could only hold on to the fact that there was no actual evidence.

Who knows, those people have already arranged everything, how can there be no real evidence?The officials who were clearing the numbers suddenly found the account details listed by the Nalan Chamber of Commerce, which recorded in detail the amount of silver and grain donated by the Nalan Chamber of Commerce, and the seal of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce was attached at the end, which should not be faked.

"Master Lang, do you know where this bill was found?" Director Liu had a plan in his mind, but Nalan Qing remained silent, but there was a slight smile on his lips. This group of people moved quickly.

"Where did you find it?" Yun Jin stretched out her hand, wanting to check the authenticity herself. Master Liu hurriedly handed her the list, but the exact number was inconsistent with what Lan Qing reported, "Why is it missing as much as 500 million taels?"

"Five million taels?" Nalan Qing finally spoke. She cupped her hands and saluted Yun Jin, "Please take a look at Rong Chen."

She knew at a glance that someone had tampered with this list.At this point, Nalan Qing understood that some people wanted to kill two birds with one stone, greedy for a sum of money, and got rid of her by the way.

"This was dug out from the bottom of the box of money and silver that Mr. Lang personally saw. From the time the banknotes entered the palace, Mr. Lang personally guarded them. No one else took over until the account was counted. I don't know how Mr. Lang explained this? "

Na Lanqing suddenly remembered that Director Liu in the middle had distracted himself to discuss the distribution of silver taels, presumably to take advantage of this.It seems that they have already arranged this plan in advance, and I am afraid that someone will already go to the backyard where they live to search for bank notes.

"Based on this alone, it cannot be concluded that Mr. Lang is related to Losing Yin." Yun Jin wanted to defend, but she could only go so far. She would never convict Lan Qing casually if there was insufficient evidence.

Na Lanqing looked at Yun Jin with a smile on her face, she didn't mind being framed, as long as Yun Jin believed in her, she could solve those mobs with just a finger move.

She didn't care about anything but Yun Jin's attitude towards her.

Yun Jin felt that Nalan Qing's gaze was still so hot, she could catch a glimpse of Nalan Qing staring at her out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't give any response, what time is she still calm?Don't you know how serious the situation is now?If the opponent's methods are vicious and thoughtful, she will be imprisoned.

"The empress dowager attaches great importance to the magistrate. There is nothing wrong with it. After all, Mrs. Lan was chosen by the empress dowager herself. Unfortunately, she has only been in the palace for a short time and has bad intentions. I'm afraid she will disappoint the empress dowager." Director Liu glanced outside the door, as if everything was just right. , I saw two petty officials appearing holding dozens of bank notes.

He and Cui Shangshu looked at each other, showing a sly smile, as if they were sure of victory.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, this was found from Mrs. Lang's room." The two officials presented the bank notes to Yun Jin in full.

She was startled, the speed was so fast, even the bank notes were searched out, it seemed that she had premeditated.She raised her hand and put it down again. With a glance at her, she knew that it was indeed the bank note issued by the Nalan Chamber of Commerce.Are these people afraid that she will be selfish and will definitely kill her?

Yun Jin's eyes were worried, and she finally cast her eyes on Na Lanqing. She was still calm and not surprised by this sudden event.Does she really not know the seriousness of the matter, or is there another way?Yun Jin hoped that she would have a countermeasure, and she must not let others frame her.

In this matter, Yun Jin absolutely trusted her, but the motive of the Counselor was really obvious.This group of people worked together and finally started to do things that touched her bottom line. In this way, Yun Jin will not tolerate it anymore.

But what should Lan Qing do now?Yun Jin suddenly thought that Nalan Qing stayed up here all night and never left at all. How could he have the opportunity to hide these bank notes?

She had an idea, and immediately asked, "Lanqing, did you not leave the transfer department last night? Did you not return to the backyard?"

"Yes, the subordinate has never left." Nalan Qing felt strange, how did Yun Jin know that she hadn't returned all night?

"Who can prove that Mr. Lang never left?" Director Liu insisted.

It's true that the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high. Nalan Qing looked at Director Liu who answered fluently. He really dug his own grave without knowing it, and foolishly made a leader for the Counselor.

"Has any of you seen that Mrs. Lan has not left?" He deliberately asked around, it was true that Nalan Qing was the only one in the household department last night, and no one would know that she hadn't returned all night, which increased her suspicion.

But in this class, there is still one person who knows that Nalan Qing has not returned, and that is Yun Jin.But how is she going to say that she is Nalan Qing's witness?In front of these court officials, it was too inconsistent with the etiquette. She didn't go to bed in the middle of the night, but she ran to the household department alone because she was worried about Nalan Qing?

No, she is the empress dowager of a country, and everything she says and does represents the royal family. This kind of unexplainable matter should not be known, let alone do things that make people think.

But Yuan Xi knew that she had been here, she didn't know if Yun Jin would choose to speak out to save Nalan Qing at this time.If she speaks out, the Secretary of State will feel that she is being selfish on purpose, leaving the subject behind and attracting criticism. If she does not speak out, Patriarch Nalan will really be imprisoned.

This is probably the most absurd thing in the world. Patriarch Nalan was framed for corruption, and every bank note came from her. Yuan Xi really complained for Nalan Qing.

Yun Jin frowned deeply, as long as she opened her mouth, Nalan Qing could clear up the suspicion, but she couldn't open her mouth.Firstly, it was wrong, and secondly, if Na Lanqing was really locked up as a suspect, it might be able to protect her instead, so that people with ulterior motives would show their feet and take the opportunity to get rid of the Counselor.

It's just that, if she is going to be wronged, I don't know if she will understand her intentions and blame herself.

For a moment, Yun Jin thought a lot.

"Lanqing, how can you justify yourself? If you feel that you have been wronged, Aijia will order Qin Tiansi to intervene and thoroughly investigate this matter." Yunjin wanted to see how Nalanqing would react, if she could resolve it, Naturally, it can hit the Counselor Secretary and the group, but if she can't resolve it, she can only be imprisoned first.

Nalan Qing never saw anyone else in her eyes, only Yun Jin could be seen in her deep pupils.She approached slightly, and bowed to Yun Jin, with a serene look on her brows, "Queen Mother, do you believe me?"

What familiar words reminded Yun Jin of her persecution and abnormal emotions that day, and now she is asking such questions again, does she really care whether she believes her or not?

But she is the empress dowager, she can't judge things based on her feelings, she must be objective in everything, and can rule the world well, not for one person.

"Aijia only believes in evidence and results." Yun Jin's indifferent words, almost indifferent, made Nalan Qing feel cold. She smiled lightly, with a hint of doubt in her smile, and it seemed to be a kind of temptation. "Now the evidence points to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, how do you plan to deal with me?"

She hides the actual amount written to Yunjin in the name of Nalan Qing in her bosom. In fact, as long as she takes it out and compares it, Yunjin will notice the clues. The money she was planted is different from the actual amount. , it can be concluded that someone with a heart is embezzling and framing her.

No one can imitate Nalan Qing's handwriting, and Yun Jin can recognize it even more at a glance. She can definitely say that she got this letter when she received the disaster money, but she just couldn't present it to the Queen Mother in time.

But she hesitated. Could it be that Yun Jin would choose to deal with such an obvious blame game, with no regard for her safety?Could it be that for so long, in Yun Jin's eyes, she was really just a small commander, no different from others?

"I have nothing to say, please handle it impartially, the Queen Mother." Nalan Qing was too proud, and her pride did not allow her to succumb at the moment, and she didn't even bother to show the so-called evidence. Only when people neglect precautions can they have a chance to eradicate them in one fell swoop.

In this regard, she and Yunjin had exactly the same thoughts, but how could Yunjin understand her plan, and she was even more ignorant of Yunjin's good intentions, but actually wanted to protect her.

Even if he couldn't bear it, there was no other way. Facing the situation in front of him, Yun Jin could only let it go.

"The Queen Mother has always enforced the law impartially, and she has dealt with corruption more severely. For the sake of the victims and the people, please severely punish corrupt officials."

"Director Liu!" Yun Jin showed displeasure. What is a corrupt official? Lan Qing is not a corrupt official. If Master Liu is so fanciful, she really can't restrain her anger.

But this is often the case. When she wants to get angry, she suppresses her temper and emotions. She knows that many times, she can only be a calm person, expressing her emotions and anger, so that people can't catch her I can't guess what's going on in her heart.

"This matter has yet to be ascertained, so don't speak prematurely." Yun Jin's tone was sharp, and his aura was wide open. Once the regent's courage was revealed, no one dared to say more.

Cui Shangshu gave him a look, just click as far as it goes, and when facing the queen mother, everything should not be too much.

"Yes..." Director Liu had no choice but to shut up.

"The empress dowager has her own decision, and I will wait for the empress dowager to deal with it." Cui Shangshu's smiling face forced Yun Jin to the point where he had to give an order.

Now that Nalan Qing was on the cusp, she could guess from Yun Jin's eyes and expression that she had made a decision.

"Come here, Mr. Jiang Lang will be taken into the Jue Ming Division first, and Li Ruo and Qi Xuan will be ordered to investigate this matter together." Yun Jin's cold words cast a layer of frost on Nalan Qing's heart, which was bitingly cold. .

She showed a leisurely smile, but the smile lost its usual luster, and the originally bright eyes gradually dimmed. Before she was taken away by the guards, her eyes never left Yun Jin for a moment.

But Yun Jin never raised her head, she strained her emotions and did not meet her gaze, even if she gave Na Lanqing a moment of tenderness, her heart would not be so cold.

After all, at this moment, she chose to be the empress dowager instead of Yun Jin.

It wasn't until she was completely taken away that Yun Jin turned his head, but only saw her proud back.

Yun Jin never thought that the donation of money would cause such a big disturbance. She returned to Yunqi Palace from the household department, her anger was hard to dissipate, but she was more worried about Nalan Qing. I am angry.

"Queen Mother, I don't understand why you didn't testify for Lord Lang? That night..." Yuan Xi hoped that Yunjin had the heart, but he was powerless, and that Patriarch Nalan's infatuation was not in vain, and he gave everything for her. Still ended up like this.

"Ai's family didn't go to the household department that day, understand?" Yun Jin sternly said, Yuan Xi hurriedly bowed down, not daring to speak again.

Yun Jin rested her forehead, full of melancholy, she looked very tired, and the cold wind outside the window made her feel cold.On such a cold day, the cell might be even more chilly.

"Yuanxi, Jueming Division's cell is cold, you go to get ready immediately, and prepare food and bedding for her, don't neglect."

"Yes." Yuan Xi chuckled, she knew that the queen mother was not so hard-hearted.
