The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 274 Huang Lian finally died

　　When Du Qian gave Huang Lian's seal to Du Wan.

Du Wan did not take it, "It should be her savings. Brother, go get it."

"Really, brother? She spent 200,000 gold to hunt you down, but in the end she only gave the deposit, not the remainder. It means that this seal still has at least 100,000 gold left to get." Du Qian analyzed softly.

Du Wan’s eyes lit up.

 But soon, she made a decision, "Let's give it to the eldest brother."

 “Don’t feel bad?”

 “It’s for brother, why are you so sad?” Du Wan looked at him strangely.

Du Qian chuckled, "Yes, just don't feel bad."

 He thought his sister was a money-lover, but unexpectedly she turned out to be a generous little money-lover.

 In fact, Du Wan felt that the compensation Huang Lian gave to the original owner was better given to her family. Besides, she had no use for the money. Then she threw the little lucky bag to Du Qian, "Brother, in the past few years, the Great Qin Kingdom has been worse than the previous year. This year is even more snowy. What about next year?"

"What does my sister want to say?" Du Qian was surprised by his sister's sensitivity.

Du Wan said directly: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters should be taken before they happen."

 The signs of troubled times are coming!

Du Qian raised his eyebrows gently and stuffed the seal back into the small lucky bag. His sister gave him a large sum of money, and he must show it off to his father when he returns home. In her heart, he, the eldest brother, is the most important. Even if he goes to jail, she doesn't trust him.

The more I think about it, the happier I feel. This sister's pain is not in vain!

Du Wan saw someone coming and touched him with her elbow, "Brother, there is someone here, don't laugh."

Du Qian immediately stopped smiling and looked solemn. He looked at his sister again and found that her little face had already pretended to be sad.

 Really sad?

impossible!

 The brother and sister saw the person coming.

He is the commander of the imperial guards and is escorting Divine Doctor Liu over.

 Stayed for a while.

The eldest princess did not come out, and the brother and sister did not leave.

 Midnight.

Doctor Liu was unable to save Huang Lian in the end. It is said that she passed away peacefully.

The emperor has never left the Jinxiu Palace. Naturally, no one including the eldest princess and the queen dared to leave. Even the brother and sister stayed quietly.

Du Wan saw the ashen-faced Doctor Liu.

 As Du Qian said, the Liu family will be buried with him.

 The emperor finally left Jinxiu Palace, followed by the empress and Concubine Xie. However, Prince Consort Du came to pick up the eldest princess, and the brother and sister, as juniors, finally walked out of the Jinxiu Palace.

 Under the moonlight, don’t worry about not being able to see the road clearly. Lanterns are hung every short distance in the corridors of the palace.

Du Wan walked for a while and asked, "Brother, are Dr. Liu and his family really going to be buried with him?"

"I can't live." Du Qian still received some news. "His children do not live in the capital. Except for Liu Jin, they were all found out by the Imperial City Department."

　　　…”

Du Qian took his sister and went to the imperial dining room.

 Woke some people up and cooked some vegetarian dishes.

 A county king and a princess were woken up in the middle of the night, and no one dared to complain.

 The vegetarian food was specially requested by Du Qian. No matter how much he didn't like the deceased, he still had to do the superficial work.

 After the brothers and sisters had eaten their fill, they went to the prison.

Huang Lian's death did not stir up a single wave.

The emperor did not rectify her name during her lifetime, and she still did not give her a proper name after her death, nor did she give her a grand and luxurious burial. He just had someone arrange it and buried her in a corner of the imperial mausoleum.

On the day of the burial, the emperor went alone.

 On the contrary, Beijing is still very lively these days. First of all, Xie Zhang left the capital to provide disaster relief. It was said that most of the people in the city who went to see him off were women who had not yet left the government, which became a popular story. On the other hand, Mu Si'an followed, leading five thousand Imperial City officers and soldiers, and no one mentioned it. When Du Wan heard people talk about it, she just felt that people were comparing each other to each other, which was very annoying.

If she were Mu Si'an, she would be furious to death!

At the same time, she also heard a little gossip from Pei Hao. They were the children of Doctor Liu. When the officers and soldiers arrived, they had been silenced and the whole family was burned down. Divine Doctor Liu was sentenced to death on the day Huang Lian was buried, without even needing evidence.

 Tianlao. In the cell.

Du Qian is writing something.

Du Wan was on the side, with her legs crossed, eating the snacks that Pei Hao had brought to her, "Brother, do you think the family of Divine Doctor Liu was really wiped out, or did the golden cicada escape its shell?"

“He is just a small person. Whether he lives or dies does not affect the overall situation.”

“Oh, that’s right.” Du Wan thought about it and was right.

 In the past few days, Mr. Zhou left early, and the follow-up went smoothly.

 Eight of the eleven prisoners were trapped, and the private property counted was as high as 18 million in silver. However, the former Minister of Revenue, the biggest fish, did not take the bait.

Du Qian compiled it into a booklet and asked Du Wan to take it to Pei Hao.

Pei Hao sent people to verify the list of private properties, and then wrote the results in a memorial and sent it to the emperor. Depending on the crimes committed by those people and whether to provide evidence, we will then consider changing the sentence.

Du Qian looked at the last name on it and said, "There are only three people left."

Du Wan pondered: "This Wu Qian insists on not coming forward? What is he waiting for?"

Wu Qian was the former Minister of Household Affairs.

 is one of the corrupt officials exposed by Prime Minister Su.

Du Qian said: "Let's wait for the results of the people who went out in front. Old foxes are usually very cautious."

“It’s just that he is in prison and can he still receive news from the outside?”

"The Wu family is a big family in Beijing. He is the only one implicated in this case, and his family is fine. Another thing is that he is alone, without a wife and children." Du Qian couldn't understand his behavior.

Du Wan was curious, "He is over forty and yet he is not married?"

"His wife and children are dead. They died in the war thirteen years ago." Du Qian said nothing more about this matter. He looked at the remaining two names and said, "These two people have no private property."

 “Ha, yes. I don’t have money to buy my life.” Du Wan smiled.

 One is fond of gambling and the other is lustful.

 The one who likes gambling loses even a little money. The lustful one has many wives and concubines and spends money like water. Furthermore, these two people do not hold high official positions and are under the pressure of their immediate superiors, so the amount of corruption they can do is limited. They are the two little shrimps in this big case.

 When Du Qian put down his pen.

Du Wan stood up and stretched, "Brother, let's go! Get out of prison. Go home."

"Okay." Du Qian didn't want to stay in jail anymore.

 As for Wu Qian, whether you want to find him or not.

The brother and sister were released from prison in a turbulent manner.

The jailers all came out to see each other off, and they were actually somewhat reluctant to part with them.

 It’s really hard to give up.

 The prince and the princess are both generous and easy to get along with. The two of them are here, and they can have a delicious meal from time to time.

"gone?"

Wu Qian in prison was shocked when he heard what a jailer whispered.

 Shouldn’t they come to him?

He received the news and knew that the emperor wanted to use the private property of the prison officials to enrich the national treasury, and gave this task to Prince Rui and Princess Jiaoyang. He didn't take the initiative to find the two people. He was just waiting and watching, and he was a bit reserved inside. After all, there is a difference in negotiation between actively approaching the other party and being approached by the other party.

 As a result, they left?

 Don’t you ask him? !

 These two little brats, do they know how to do things?
