**Nothing for anything else.

A few days ago, the Secretary of State Order of the Secretary of State, Yuan Xian, participated in the report of ** corrupt and abuse of power, and investigated and punished him for embezzling the treasury money and reselling grain in Anmin Warehouse. This matter was originally suppressed by President Jiang, but Yuan Xian was so upright that he kept conducting open and secret investigations and found more evidence of his crimes.

Zhang Lihua immediately said angrily: "What do you want to say to me? You have no worries about food and clothing now. The money and property that the emperor rewarded you over the years is enough for you to spend your whole life, but why do you always think about doing those illegal things?"

** said with a bitter face: "Aren't this all because my brother was poor when he was a child? At that time, my poor family couldn't take the next meal. My mother didn't want us to remarry. My father went to the army at a very old age, but was insulted by the officials all day long to deduct military pay. I remember that when my father came back that day, he was covered in wounds. He only bought a steamed bun for a month of military pay, but he endured hunger and shared it with our brother and sister..."

Her childhood life has always been a shadow in her heart. Every time she always talks about this when she makes a mistake, Zhang Lihua can't bear to blame him anymore.

"Okay! I will say hello to Yuan Xian!" Zhang Lihua immediately interrupted his brother. If he continued to listen, he would probably cry.

"Thank you sister!" This move was tried and no matter how hard it was, ** suddenly smiled.

Zhang Lihua gave her a blank look in anger. How could such an older brother watch him be dealt with by the law of the country? But her brother has no memory at all. This is not the first time. If there is no restraint, something will happen one day.

"This is not an example! The money that is small in the national treasury will be transferred from the treasury first. As for the grain that has been resold by the granary, you can also fill it back as soon as possible. Yuan Xian is so upright, so I can only delay his time reporting you to the emperor. As long as the hole is blocked, I can plead for you."

**Suddenly smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, sister! As long as you can delay for three days, I will solve it together for my brother!"

Zhang Lihua questioned: "Money and silk are OK, but how can those hundreds of thousands of grains be solved in three days?"

Seeing that Zhang Lihua didn't believe it, ** said proudly: "My sister is too underestimating for me! Three days are just a cautious statement for me. In fact, it can be solved in just one day."

After Zhang Lihua's questioning, ** revealed the truth.

It turned out that since he became a senior farmer, he was hit by the mental shadow of his poor family when he was a child. He was in charge of the treasury and granary of the Dachen State, so he used his power to embezzle the treasury money and silk, expand the consumption of coins and fire, and resell the treasury to reserve grain, etc. to make money.

Originally, ** was worried that Yuan Xian would find out the evidence of his corruption and abuse of power, but in the past six months, the Sui army has done a lot of destruction of the Chen State's granary and assassinated the imperial officials, which has given ** the best opportunity to destroy the evidence. Many granaries that have been resold by ** simply burned them out with fire, lied that Chen Jun's destruction was caused by the destruction. Many down-line officials who were corrupt and abused with ** were also assassinated by ** and also blamed the assassination of the Sui army. In this way, Yuan Xian could not find **'s evidence of the crime.

After hearing **'s explanation, Zhang Lihua was shocked. Her brother, who had always been mediocre, dared not underestimate her.

** He smiled and said, "After becoming an official for years, of course you have to make progress, right?"

After Zhang Lihua knew that ** could escape Yuan Xian's investigation successfully, she let go of a big rock in her heart. However, she was dissatisfied with her brother's actions and said: "No wonder there is a shortage of food in the capital. I'm afraid it has something to do with her brother!"

**I can trust my sister, so I never thought of hiding it from her, so I nodded and said, "Isn't this for our Zhang family? I have money these days and months, and I can make the devil's grinding. No matter whether my sister can become the queen, as long as we have money, I am afraid that Concubine Kong will not succeed? Then, if you smash a lot of gold, the civil and military officials in the court will be obediently bend to us?"

Zhang Lihua nodded with relief. She always thought that her brother was too simple and needed to take care of herself in everything, but now it seems that she doesn't have to worry anymore.

"The wealth should not be exposed. It is best for brothers to hide the money for emergencies."

"Don't worry, sister. I've already figured out the place for me. I just wait for the top master of the agency to arrange it and I'll be done."

"This is related to the future rise and fall of the Zhang family, and brothers need to be careful."

"Of course!"

The brother and sister smiled at each other, and the country's wealth became the private property of the Zhang family.

Zhang Lihua handed over the matter of the Crown Princess to the eunuch Cai Liner with full authority, but Cai Liner is a good player.

Since Zhang Lihua appointed Xiao Jing as the crown princess, other women who ran for election would naturally be eliminated. It was just to take into account the face of the aristocratic families and block the long-lasting mouths of the subjects in the world. Everything was selected according to the procedures as usual, and the money should be collected, and the face of all major forces should be taken into account and the face of them should not be offended.

However, with the candidates, everything will be simple and quick. The first step is to select girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen from all over the country. In less than three days, I chose hundreds of women with mediocre appearances and went in a hurry.

The second and third rounds were carried out together. After a while, the girls who were too tall, short, fat and thin were eliminated. Each person's facial features, hair, skin, tone, and demeanor were eliminated as long as there was one thing that was not in compliance with the regulations. Due to special arrangements, only less than twenty people were left after the three rounds.

Fortunately, Xiao Jing was both talented and beautiful, and stood out among the women, so she didn't need Cai Liner's special care, which saved him a lot of worry.

Seeing her sister passing through five passes and killing six generals successfully into the selection, Xiao Yi felt anxious.

However, Xiao Jing was determined to eat the weight. No matter how Xiao Yi persuaded her, she would never give up. Especially when Xiao Mohe learned that Xiao Jing had participated in the selection of the crown princess, she sent people to tell her not to allow her several times, but it was counterproductive.

Seeing Xiao Mohe opposes, Xiao Jing becomes even more determined.

Xiao Yi went to Jinling Academy to go to school, and Xiao Jing was with him as usual, but the siblings were still in a cold war, but they just didn't speak.

After class, Xiao Jing placed the prepared scallion rice on the dining table and sat next to her with a smile.

I haven't seen my sister sit with me for dinner for several days, and Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Why don't my sister eat together?"

"Sister has eaten!" Seeing his younger brother looking at him with a little doubt, Xiao Jing immediately glared and said, "Aren't you cold wars with your sister? If you are willing to give in, your sister will have dinner with you."

Cut! Is it rare?

Xiao Yi immediately curled his lips, gave his sister a blank look in anger, and started to eat.

He won't give in!

Seeing that his younger brother was eating very deliciously, Xiao Jing smiled faintly and turned to the kitchen.

Xiao Yi insists on exercising every day, but at a young age he has eaten a full bowl.

After burping beautifully, Xiao Yi was about to go out for a walk.

When he arrived near the kitchen, Xiao Yi felt greedy and planned to go in and see if there was any delicious food, but unexpectedly saw his sister stealing something there.

I saw Xiao Jing put a bowl of clear water, pour some soy sauce in, and ate some unknown wild vegetables voraciously.

Xiao Yi was suddenly stunned.

He understood that his sister was not eating voraciously because the thing was delicious, but because she was hungry.

It must be because he had no money to buy rice and put it in the pot that Xiao Jing said that he had eaten it. He endured the pain alone and swallowed soy sauce and wild vegetables, but he made the only rice into fragrant rice for his younger brother.

It turns out that my sister actually ate this these days!

Xiao Yi's heart was like a knife, and tears immediately flowed down.

Xiao Yi understood that his sister was a person who was very forced to save face, so he forced himself to choke and quietly left the kitchen, and then went back to the room alone.

That night, Xiao Yi suffered from insomnia for the first time.

The next morning, Xiao Jing, who had always had early habits, did not get up for a long time.

Xiao Yi called his sister several times but didn't wake up, but he was shocked when he visited him.

I saw my sister's face was pale, her lips were purple, and her forehead was even hotter. She was obviously sick.

Xiao Jing was in a coma. Xiao Yi pushed her a few times but still couldn't react, and he suddenly became nervous.

Xiao Yi decided to hire a doctor immediately, but he never saw a penny when he searched all the places where his sister usually put money.

Thinking of what he saw yesterday, Xiao Yi felt sad.

He stroked the jade pendant on his chest. Although it was the only souvenir left to him by his mother, Xiao Yi couldn't care about it even though he had to use it for pawns.

※※※※※※

The Zhang brothers and sisters lost the Great Chen treasury. What impact will this have on the Great Sui Dynasty, which is about to attack Chen? Can Xiao Jing be made to be the crown princess? Can the sister be so happy? She was ill in bed, so Xiao Yi had to pawn the jade pendant left by her mother. The jade pendant has the word "Bright Moon" engraved, what does it mean, and what will it lead to?
