After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

Chapter 196 The System Arrives Again

As soon as Wen Hemian said this, the ministers fell silent.

Lu Zishen had a complicated expression: "Lord Wen, this..." Can I say this?

Wen Hemian demonstrated through his actions that he could speak.

The capital city, which is so big, has long been ordered to be strictly blocked, and everyone entering and leaving the city will be strictly questioned, just to prevent the worst situation.

But according to their speculation, this person should be an official in the court, and his position is not low. If they say it openly, they will see if the other party will be unable to help but get angry.

This is the best situation, they can catch people without any effort.

Wen Hemian did not speak again. The ministers looked at each other and no one dared to speak.

Fortunately, this time it was just to warn them, and Wen Hemian did not let the situation remain static for long. Seeing their doubtful expressions, he spoke again after a while.

"My Lords, please go back and rest first. We will discuss other matters in the afternoon."

Wen Hemian restrained his sharp aura and returned to his usual gentle and peaceful state, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. They suppressed their doubts and responded, "Yes."

In order to see them off, everyone got up early today. Having just received such great news, they were all trying to digest it in their minds, so they hurriedly said their last words and left.

Ye Zhaoxuan met the person as he wished. After all, he was in charge of the Censorate, and he was not present at the last meeting, so he didn't know much.

"Master Wen, what did you just say? Are there still traitors in the capital?"

Ye Zhaoxuan was confused and wondered, thinking that everyone looked honest, so how could someone be doing evil behind the scenes?

Lu Zishen took over and answered: "Yes, but I haven't found out who it is yet."

Wen Hemian: "It depends on whether that person will jump out after knowing what I said."

Lu Zishen shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Logically speaking, this person should be very patient to have been able to hide in Beijing for so long. If he could see the current situation clearly, he would not be so eager to jump out.

Wen Hemian said: "Let's see, if we can't find anyone, let's take a gamble first."

"Oh, by the way, for the sake of convenience, I will move back to the palace these days. If you have anything important, just come to me directly and let others know."

One cannot enter the palace casually. Wen Hemian may not care about the rules, but he is worried that someone will take the opportunity to do something in the palace, so he simply moves the meeting place.

There are no secrets in the palace, and those who want to take action have nowhere to do so.

Lu Zishen and Ye Zhaoxuan nodded: "Okay."

After explaining all this, Wen Hemian let out a light breath, she covered her lips, cleared her throat, and said, "I'll go back to the palace first, you two, go back as well."

The wind was strong at the city gate, so luckily he put on a cloak before coming. Wen Hemian's throat was already uncomfortable, and it got worse after all this. He cursed the emperor in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

The two had no objection.

Wen Hemian took a carriage back to the palace.

The documents and memorials in the palace were moved out by his confidants early in the morning and piled up on the table. Qingyun couldn't bear to see it, so he asked someone to move another table over and tidy up the place. It looked much better then.

Hearing Wen Hemian's voice become hoarse, Qingyun frowned and said, "I will go and make pear soup for Miss to moisten her throat."

Qingyun's cooking skills are good, Wen Hemian nodded with a smile: "Good."

In her haste to get out, she bumped her elbow into a pile of documents, causing several of them to fall to the ground with a thud.

"ah!"

Qingyun hurriedly picked it up and handed it to Wen Hemian: "This is a mess!"

She was a little annoyed, knowing that Wen Hemian was very busy, and she had to cause trouble at this time.

Wen Hemian took it and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll take a look later, just sort it out again."

Qingyun was relieved: "Okay."

Basically, the really important documents had already been read. Wen Hemian was looking at them again just to find clues and see if there were any problems with the backgrounds of the important officials of various departments.

The imperial court is stable, and the risk of following the vassal kings in rebellion is obviously greater. If this person was not inserted later, then he must have some handle in someone's hand, so he had to do this.

Of course, these are just guesses, and we will have to wait for verification to know the details.

While they ordered the secret guards to look for clues, they were also constantly screening them, and now only this small pile is left.

Wen Hemian smoothed the pages of the book and was about to put it back on the table when she suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the book in her hand. She examined it carefully, then pried open the book and took a look in the middle, finally confirming that there was a page missing.

Da Zhao had a household registration management system exclusively for officials, which was usually organized by the Ministry of Households. Every year, new additions or reductions had to be recorded, and the file in hand recorded the officials of the Ministry of War.

The person in charge of destroying evidence was very careful, and she could easily overlook this subtle detail if her attention was distracted for a moment.

If there is a traitor in the Ministry of War...

Wen Hemian's expression was slightly tense. That could explain why the important news was able to get out.

"Who is the one?"

Wen Hemian thought about it, walked to the window, and knocked a few times. Then a head popped out from behind the window sill. It was the secret guard beside her.

"Go check who has been to the Ministry of Revenue recently, especially the Ministry of War. Pay special attention."

Secret guard: "Yes."

The secret guard retreated, Wen Hemian turned around, and was startled to see the system suddenly appear in the room.

System cats have completely different demeanors from ordinary cats.

"I didn't contact you. What are you doing here at this hour?"

Frightened by the tasks issued by the system, Wen Hemian felt a little traumatized.

"I came to see you." The system winked, but it couldn't see much expression on its cat face. "Don't worry, I won't issue any tasks, I'm just taking a look."

Wen Hemian firmly believes that one does not visit a temple unless he has something to ask for.

It’s not that the system doesn’t want to say it, it’s that it can’t say it.

She walked over calmly and sat down.

"How long will you stay?"

The system scratched its head and said, "I guess... wait until the little emperor returns from the battle? In view of your special circumstances, the administrator asked me to tell you something."

Wen Hemian: "Can't you just tell me?"

The system was ruthless: "No, you must come together. I calculated the time to come here, and I will stay in this world for the time being."

"Whatever you say." Wen Hemian narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "Is it fun to be a cat?"

The system shook its head frantically: "If possible, I don't want to be a cat!"

Wen Hemian withdrew his gaze with amusement.

While waiting for the results, she did not rest. After all, before a conclusion was reached, all her thoughts were just guesses, and she had to read all the remaining ones one by one before she could feel at ease.

In the afternoon, she called the Minister of Revenue alone to discuss the allocation of food and military funds. The battle line was so long and it would last for so long that it would put a huge pressure on the national treasury.

The Minister of Finance had an idea: "Why not lure the wealthy merchants in Beijing to donate money?"
