Chapter 457 Something fishy

"I remember, it was Xin Che's uncle who gave me a lot of money during my exile."

Jiang Lili thought of the Yang family. They had evil intentions and were now locked up in the mountains by the county governor Hu Chen. "What happened?"

"He died of illness last night."

"Before he died, he told all the inside information he knew about the case of Marquis Zhaoping embezzling military funds."

Xu Zishen took out a letter from his arms.

"What is recorded here is what he revealed before he died."

After Jiang Lili took the letter, she quickly scanned the contents.

The letter contained all of Yang Baoshan's confessions about various facts regarding his corruption and bribery during his time as an official. The most important of these was that he had obeyed orders and participated in framing his own sister's family for embezzling military pay.

Although Yang Baoshan is dead and cannot serve as a witness, there should be something to be learned from the two officials from the Ministry of Revenue mentioned in the letter and the list of personnel handed over when the military pay was distributed.

Jiang Lili took a photo of the contents of the letter and sent it to the group, asking her friends in the Beijing team to check it out.

【@贺凛(京城大明星): Wow, this letter is so valuable! It contains many criminal acts of officials appointed by the imperial court. If you dig deeper, you can use it to threaten these corrupt officials.】

[@侯潇潇(王妃): This letter is so important! Our Beijing team has been investigating for more than a year. Although we know the location of the military pay, we still lack the evidence to prove that the Zhaoping Marquis family was wrongly accused.

Now you can follow this letter to find evidence and the mastermind! 】

[@Sheng Zhixing (criminal investigation expert): Su Rui and I have been in Feixia Valley for a month and have already figured out the situation around the tomb of the late emperor.

We are now rushing to Jingshui to spend the New Year with Xue Wei. Good luck in starting work after the New Year! 】

Seeing the detailed contents of the letter, Jiang Lili couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, did Yang Baoshan suddenly find his conscience before he died?"

"No, how can we expect such an accomplice to have a change of heart?"

Xu Zishen shook his head. "It was Second Master Xin who used some of the scientific knowledge he learned from Teacher Rong Shen to trick Yang Baoshan into thinking that he would go to hell if he didn't confess his crimes."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Lili shook her head. As long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.

As the students pushed aside layer by layer, they took deeper and deeper roots in Dasheng, and it was only a matter of time before they returned to the capital.

Jiang Lili felt a little excited when she thought about returning to Dasheng. She did not slack off in her martial arts training. She exercised every day, stockpiled goods, shipped goods and took care of logistics.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year’s Eve.

Lishan is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.

Jiang Lili was dragged by her sister-in-law Chen Fulan to dress up early in the morning.

"You've been traveling in simple clothes these days, and every day you're either shooting or practicing swordsmanship. It's a waste of such a pretty face."

Chen Fulan tied Jiang Lili's hair and helped her change into a bright red brocade dress.

“Isn’t this too grand?”

Jiang Lili tilted her head and looked at herself in the floor-length mirror. The gorgeous clothes she was wearing were embroidered with intricate and delicate peony flowers. She looked extremely noble and radiant. "I look like I'm getting married in this."

This piece of gorgeous clothing can be said to be the most beautiful gold-woven clothing Jiang Lili has ever seen since she traveled through time.

"Is this the new dress my mother made for me for the New Year?"

Chen Fulan said vaguely: "My mother asked me to bring it here."

She moved her eyes to the peony on Jiang Lili's sleeve and picked up Jiang Lili's sleeve with her bare hands: "Hey, why is there a little missing from the stamen of this peony?"

Jiang Lili looked at the place where her sister-in-law pointed, and after a careful inspection, she found that the peony flower was indeed missing a little stamen. "Sister-in-law, you observe too carefully."

Chen Fulan smiled awkwardly: "I just happened to notice it."

She searched in the box of clothes, took out a ball of gold embroidery thread and a needle, threaded the needle, and finally handed the needle to Jiang Lili: "Sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that there is something I forgot to tell Brother Yan. I will be back soon. Let's go to our parents' house for lunch later."

Jiang Lili took the needle and thread and said quickly, "Even if I have a rough embroidery skill, I can still finish it with this little bit of gold on the stamens."

"Sister-in-law, if you have something to do, go back first. We'll see you at the dinner table later."

Chen Fulan nodded and left in a hurry.

After Jiang Lili finished embroidering the last bit of the pistil, she put on her outer robe again and turned around in front of the dressing mirror.

The peony pattern on the dress also swirled open, and at first glance it looked like a flower in bloom.

Jiang Lili went downstairs to the yard, thinking of going to her father and mother to help in advance. As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Rong Shen and Xin Cheng pasting New Year's couplets at the door.

"Li Li!"

"Sister-in-law!"

The two greeted Jiang Lili.

You look at me, I look at you.

Rong Shen said, "Li Li, Xin Cheng will install a heating device in your and Big Brother's room. After lunch, if you want to take a nap, you can rest at Aunt Yang's place."

"Otherwise, if the mechanism is not installed properly, it may hurt you by mistake."

Jiang Lili was confused: "Aren't we on Haizhou Island? It can't be that cold in winter, so why do we need to install a heating device?"

Rong Shen choked. "Well, to prevent extreme weather! The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, who can say for sure!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Remember to come early for dinner later."

Jiang Lili was suspicious, but she didn't think much about it. There was no way these two people could harm her.

She came to the courtyard of Marquis Zhaoping and his wife.

The wife of Marquis Zhaoping was very happy to see her coming, "This dress is really beautiful, and you are even more beautiful."

"It's just that the hair is a little white."

After saying that, she took out a wooden box, took out a pigeon-blood red phoenix hairpin, and inserted it into Jiang Lili's bun.

The glittering light of the ruby ​​contrasted with the red dress on Jiang Lili, making her already beautiful face even more warm and bright.

Yang Wanyi looked at it for a long time before she came back to her senses.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of luck Che has."

At noon, Xin Cheng and his people arrived one after another. Influenced by modern people like Jiang Lili and Rong Shen, as well as the qualitative change in living conditions, the Xin family and the people on the south bank of Haizhou Island no longer had two meals a day, but three meals a day.

After lunch, Jiang Lili felt sleepy, so she went to the room upstairs to rest.

The courtyard where Marquis Zhaoping and his wife lived was very large, with rooms prepared for their two sons and their daughters-in-law.

Jiang Lili's clothes were too complicated to wear, and she was too lazy to change and go to bed, so she leaned on the beauty couch, closed her eyes and took a nap.

Maybe because she didn’t sleep well these nights, Jiang Lili slept until dusk.

The warm light of the sunset filtered through the window lattice of the small pavilion and sprinkled on her, and her peaceful sleeping face was also dotted with golden fragments.

Soon, a pair of magpies landed on the windowsill.

The door of the wing room was carefully pushed open from the outside at this time, making a slight "creaky" sound.
