Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 280 Parting Ways 5
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice from outside the room.

"My lord, I have something to report!"

Hearing this, Wei Zijin hurriedly walked outside the screen, turning his back to Xiao Jingyao.

And Xiao Jingyao just frowned, stood up from the wooden barrel, quickly wiped off the water droplets on his body, put on his clothes again, and said in a deep voice to the person guarding outside the door: "Come in!"

Standing outside the door was Xiao Jingyao's personal guard, Han Ping. He had a serious face and was wearing a sword. He didn't even notice that there were other people in the room. Territory, sin deserves death!"

Xiao Jingyao waved his hand, and replied indifferently: "Forget it, the accident happened this time, it's not because of your dereliction of duty..."

Han Ping stood up, only to notice that there was another woman in the room, and she swallowed the important matter to report, with hesitation in her eyes.

Xiao Jingyao also saw his hesitation in his eyes, and said with a light smile: "She is not an outsider, Han Ping, what do you have to report?"

Seeing Han Ping, Wei Zijin recognized him as the guard who had appeared in the inn with Xiao Jingyao before, but when Xiao Jingyao proposed to go with them the next morning, she didn't see this man named Han Ping again. guard!

When she was looking at Han Ping, Han Ping was also looking at her. He had doubts about her appearing in the same room with the prince. Hearing what the prince said, there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he understood everything in his heart.

"This subordinate has already told the housekeeper and Miss Qiuyue about the assassination of the prince, and they will find out who is the spy in the mansion! As for Zhongshuling, the subordinates found that there is indeed something tricky between the merchant and Zhongshuling. ! Although Zhong Shuling bought a batch of silk and fine cloth from that person, but there is no account record, so..."

Before Han Ping could finish speaking, Wei Zijin said coldly: "So, Zhongshu ordered Ming to buy cloth, but he was actually accepting bribes, and he wanted to form cliques with those merchants for personal gain!"

Han Ping was startled, and looked at Wei Zijin in surprise. He didn't expect that a woman like her could say such words so quickly, and began to re-evaluate this woman who made the prince treat him differently!

Xiao Jingyao's face was also a bit dignified, he nodded and said, "That's right, those merchants keep offering these valuables to Zhongshuling Lu Ziliang, it's just bribery!"

"It's just that the subordinates don't understand why those merchants are willing to do this?" Han Ping asked in bewilderment.

"They are the most cunning, and they will never do business that loses money..." Xiao Jingyao snorted coldly, and did not continue. Instead, he and Wei Zijin looked at each other, and four words came to mind at the same time—selling an official!
Unexpectedly, Lu Ziliang was so bold. Not long after he was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, he secretly accepted bribes and sold his official position to merchants!

"My lord, what are you going to do?"

A cold light flashed quickly in Xiao Jingyao's eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Han Ping, you should send someone to keep an eye on the Zhongshuling side. Since he has accepted bribes privately, he can leave evidence and find his evidence. You must not startle the snakes by flinging grass!"

When Xiao Jingyao said this, he paused for a moment, then remembered something, and looked at Wei Zijin: "Escort her back to the general's mansion, and follow her all the way to protect her safety. I will go to Luoyang first on this trip, and I will come back to you after finishing the business." meet!
"I also have something to do, so I can't go back to the General's Mansion!" Wei Zijin didn't expect Xiao Jingyao to make a decision for her arbitrarily, and blurted out.
