Chapter 480: Blocked from entering the palace
After ransacking the house, Qian Wei and Jiang An said goodbye at the door.
Before leaving, the little girl asked her, "How come you, your mother, and your brother are not welcome here, so you can find the account book?"
Qian Wei smiled easily, and after leaving the Qian family, he was no longer cautious.
"It is precisely because everyone knows that my mother is not favored in the harem, and is even despised..."
"That's why my father hid the account book in my mother's yard."
He thought he was doing a good job, but he was discovered by her once in a while.
Perhaps, God also felt that my mother had met the wrong person in her life and it was too miserable...
Jiang An: "What are your plans next?"
"Mother said she was going back to my grandparents' home to sort out the business, and then... go to the North!"
The little girl was a little surprised, "Going to the North?"
"Ok!"
Qian smiled, a bright and beautiful smile, "I am trapped in Kyoto, and I have not seen the northern land where I can run freely in the storybooks. I want to go and take a look."
"And mother said that with such a wonderful person like the county lady, the North must be a good place!"
Across the noisy street, the mother and her two sons bowed to Jiang An from afar.
The little girl returned the greeting, her movements free and easy in her black dress.
Wu Heting personally led the horse over and said, "You didn't even ask the names of her brother and mother..."
"Aren't you afraid that you might be saving a bad guy?"
"will not."
Jiang An took the reins, "Miss Qian Wei is not that kind of person..."
She was a girl living in seclusion, determined to fight for her mother's freedom.
A mother who can raise a child like this can't be bad!
Similarly, with such a mother and sister, her brother would never be a bad person.
mainly…
Jiang An admired the girl's courage.
The reason why Jiang An dared to act recklessly in Kyoto and even in Nanshang was because of her father's favor... and the unshakable support behind her.
But Qian Wei only has her own courage and her mother and brother behind her.
Wu Heting's expression changed several times, and he originally wanted to praise the little girl.
After all...it's rare to hear a few human words from her.
The next second, Jiang An said: "Let's go... We still have to go to the Ministry of War."
"I wonder if those old guys starved to death..."
Wu Heting held back his words.
His roar was heard on the busy street, "You didn't ask anyone to prepare food?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes and asked, "Why should I prepare meals for them?"
"you…"
For a moment, Lord Wu actually felt that what she said made some sense.
"You surrounded the Ministry of War, but you didn't give them food. They have nowhere to find food!"
Yes...
But can the little girl admit that she was wrong?
Of course not!
She stiffened her neck and said, "What's wrong with skipping a meal?"
"I've been working non-stop for two days, what did I say?"
If even her back showed her guilty conscience, Wu Heting would have really believed her lies.
If the censor doesn’t report her tomorrow morning, he won’t be named Wu!
The little girl climbed onto the horse and whispered to Zhengyan, "Let's go and see if those old guys are starving to death!"
The Jin Wei next to him: Ancestor, just treat me as a human being!
Ministry of War,
As soon as Jiang An entered the Ministry of War, he felt it was very quiet. There was no one anywhere he looked, not even a bird.
She approached Zhenglu who was standing guard here with some uncertainty, "Tell me, how many people were carried out today?"
Zheng Lu looked puzzled and shook his head, "It wasn't carried out."
Jiang An: "Did someone bring them food?"
Zheng Lu said honestly: "No."
Anyway, the gatekeepers were so full that they forgot about the people inside.
Zheng Yan added, "Could it be that it crawled out because it was hungry?"
"Uh... just one day, not really."
So weak?
Officials of the Ministry of War: Listen, this is what people are saying!
The girl led people to search room by room and finally found the officials who were so hungry that they were seeing stars.
These officials are like bosses at home. They probably don’t even need to dress themselves and have basically no life skills.
Even if the Ministry of War had a simple kitchen, they couldn't make anything edible.
But this is good~
Jiang An did not avoid them and said directly: "Stop getting in the way of this county lady!"
She clapped her hands and signaled to her subordinates, "Get to work!"
Look, I don't need to sleep tonight~
Wu Heting sighed. If he continued like this, he didn’t know how many years he would lose!
The people brought by the Ministry of Justice only did some minor work, and the real work was done by Jiang An's own soldiers and Wu Heting's personal guards.
There are also several secret group members planted among the personal guards. They monitor the Ministry of War all year round and know everything about what these officials do. Basically, they can catch them all!
Many mistakes were found in the weapons in the Ministry of War’s warehouse and in previous account books.
It can be said that this evening... was very fruitful!
As the time for court session approached, the girl picked out the evidence and took out several pieces related to the Ministry of Revenue and placed them at the front.
Seeing Wu Heting's eyelids twitching.
"What are you...?"
Are you preparing to take action against the Ministry of Revenue?
Jiang An grinned, "Three provinces and six ministries... our road ahead is long and difficult!"
Wu Heting covered his pounding heart with his hand, "Are you afraid that no one will come to kill us?"
If you continue investigating at this rate, you’ll have to pluck out all the hair on Prime Minister Xie’s body!
The little girl just smiled and said nothing.
This is what she wants!
If you don't force him, the fox will never show its tail.
Anyway, the imperial examination is approaching, and there are plenty of "newcomers" to fill the vacancies.
Jiang An stuffed the prepared memorial into his arms and patted Wu Heting on the shoulder, "Let's go to court!"
The Ministry of War is very close to the palace gate, and it only takes half an incense stick of time to get there by horse.
It’s just that you need to pass through a long alley from the Ministry of War to the palace gate...
The alley is flanked by the backyards of mansions and is usually very quiet with few people passing by.
Wu Heting rode his horse side by side with Jiang An. He looked left and right several times with a frown on his face.
"Little Ancestor, I'm afraid it will take some effort for us to get to the palace gate today!"
The little girl grew up in a military camp, and she was more familiar with this unusual atmosphere than Lord Wu.
She turned her head to look at the guards who were already on alert behind her, and said leisurely, "Don't worry, I'm sure you will be able to attend court on time."
Most of her manpower remained in the Ministry of War, after all, the investigation there had not been completed yet.
But these people... are enough.
Jiang An has enough confidence!
Out of sight of the two of them...
Jiang Si's sword was unsheathed and hung at his side, blood dripping from the blade.
A dozen assassins surrounded him and attacked him in an instant!
The secret guard had a cold and indifferent look in his eyes and he kept swinging his knife. Corpses fell one after another at his feet.
With Jiang Si behind them to kill them, Jiang An and his men only had to face seven or eight assassins...
Wu Heting felt that the situation was unusual and said, "Are there only so few people?"
Jiang An naturally knew the reason and waved to his subordinates, "Quick battle and quick decision!"
Zhengyan responded, "Yes!"
Before the assassins could move, Jiang An's personal soldiers behind him rushed out first, with murderous intent in their eyes.
God knows how long they have been holding back in this Kyoto!
This shabby place doesn't even have a decent martial arts training ground!
The guards and the assassins fought each other, and soon the bricks and stones of the long street were stained with blood...
Jiang An didn't move on horseback, but his sharp ears caught the sound of a bow being pulled in the dark.
She looked towards one place suddenly, drew out the dagger from her waist with one hand, and patted the horse's back with the other hand to gain leverage and leap up!
At the same time, a cold arrow shot out...
The little girl jumped onto Lord Wu's horse and brought him down from the horse.
With a "clang" sound!
Wu Heting tilted his head to look and saw an arrow shot through the wall on one side of the long street.
He took a breath of cold air. Judging from his skills, he was not someone to be trifled with.
