First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 195 The Accounts Are All Corrected

Seeing that Su Jixiang's face was flushed, making her look even more beautiful, Wei Ling couldn't help but kiss her on the face.

Su Jixiang was suddenly attacked and raised his hand to cover the place where he was kissed, "You..."

"Madam, have you forgotten what you promised me?" Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang and asked with a smile.

Su Jixiang

……

Can this guy think of something else?

"You just woke up!" Su Jixiang finally pushed Wei Ling away, "Behave yourself! Don't let your wound open again!"

"What are you thinking, Madam?" Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang, whose face was flushed. "Didn't you promise to cook something delicious for me when I came back? How can eating something open the wound? Could it be that what you are thinking in your mind... is different from what your husband said?"

Seeing his teasing and smirking face, Su Jixiang couldn't help laughing, "I was talking about delicious food!" This guy! He actually played this trick on her? Good, good, good!

"I'm going to make you some pot cake. I guarantee it will be too hard for you to bite! I'll have to use enough force to pry open your wound!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

There is a way to deal with him, it just depends on your mood!

"Okay, okay. I won't joke anymore." Wei Ling knew that Su Jixiang was smart, so he said with a smile, "Leave that hard-to-bite pot cake to others! Your husband has a bad stomach!"

Su Jixiang then rolled his eyes at him.

The two of them smiled at each other, as if they were an old couple who had been together for many years.

"What are you doing?" Wei Ling took the cloth from Su Jixiang's hand.

Su Jixiang blushed, "I know I'm not a good worker, but when I saw your cloak was torn, I thought of trying to mend it for you. The stitches are a bit awkward, but it can be used if it's connected..."

"You." Wei Ling looked at the stitches Su Jixiang had made, and they were indeed crooked. "Forget it, leave the sewing and mending work to me in the future."

"You can?" Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling in surprise.

Wei Ling raised his eyebrows, "What can't I do?" He picked up the scissors in the winnowing basket, untied Su Jixiang's crooked stitches, and then picked up the needle and thread. The skillful movement of threading the needle really made Su Jixiang's eyes widen.

"You really can do it!" Seeing Wei Ling start to sew at the tear in the cloak, Su Jixiang was almost stunned!

How could the young man from Dongdu, who was once so noble and honorable, be like this?

Then she felt relieved. He had been in the mining area for several years, and living there was not something he had to learn...

"Not only can I mend clothes, I can also make them!" Wei Ling said with a smile. "When I have time, I will make you a cloak."

"Everyone can draw a picture." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "Waiting for you to have time is probably harder than climbing to the sky."

"That's not that difficult." Wei Ling said, "I can rest now that I'm back." He raised his eyes and looked at Su Jixiang, "Why don't you ask me where I went? What did I do?"

"If you want to tell me, you will tell me naturally!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "If you don't want to tell me, it's useless for me to ask."

Wei Ling nodded, "That's true. I just did something that made His Majesty feel a little disgusted. Don't take it to heart."

Su Jixiang nodded.

She was going to be with Wei Ling anyway, so she naturally wouldn't care how much trouble he got into outside.

Su Jixiang believed that no matter what Wei Ling did, he had his reasons and sense of propriety.

Therefore, Su Jixiang trusted what Wei Ling said very much.

Wei Ling really did as he said. He only went to the military camp once at 10 o'clock in the evening and came back at noon the next day.

"From today until the New Year, I don't have to go to the military camp." Wei Ling smiled at Su Jixiang. "Unless there is an emergency military matter."

"Have you finished dealing with the military affairs?" Su Jixiang asked curiously. "Isn't Nangong Rui still in prison?"

"Let's expose him to the sun. Let him think carefully in prison." Wei Ling said, "His biggest problem is that he can't tell which family members he should care about. If his family members care about him a little bit, they won't do anything to make him a nobody."

"How are his family members now? Have they been arrested by you?" Su Jixiang asked.

It was Nangong Rui's family who got him drunk when he returned home, took his token and gave it to the rebels, who then mobilized a part of the guards in the military camp and a group of archers to ambush him and Su Jixiang.

The reason why Nangong Rui's family did this was that they accepted money from those people.

Over the years, although Nangong Rui did not accept money from those people, his family members did not take less money. His brothers and sisters-in-law even colluded with those people secretly and told them some of the things Nangong Rui arranged. As for the Turkic raid on Mangcheng shortly after Wei Ling and his friends returned, it was also caused by these people and a small group of bribed Turkic people.

Wei Ling asked Nangong Rui to catch spies in the army at that time. He caught a few, but the people he caught were only those whom the people asked him to catch. In short, they were pushed out to take the blame!

Although Nangong Rui did not participate in these things, he protected his family and caused great losses to the entire garrison.

So it was not unjust that Nangong Rui was imprisoned.

"Yes. I locked up the people who collected the money, and also confiscated all the money they collected from those people over the years." Wei Ling said.

Su Jixiang...

This would probably be more painful for their family than taking their lives.

"Does Nangong Rui know about this?" Su Jixiang asked, "I mean, does he know that his family is using him to make money?"

"Xie Yingfeng has already told him about this." Wei Ling said, "I was not in Mangcheng these days, so I didn't go to see him. Let's leave it alone for now and talk about it after the New Year."

"What about Zhao Xiuwan..." Su Jixiang asked.

"Well, I asked Xie Yingfeng to handle that matter. After all, he is more familiar with the accounts." Wei Ling said. "You are right. Lin Xuwen really told Li Yuzhu the location of his real account book when he met her. He asked Li Yuzhu to go back and burn the account book. Xie Yingfeng had already got the real account book. Although I was not in Mangcheng these days, he was not idle. He checked all the accounts. The military pay and military expenses that were slowly eroded by those people over the years amounted to more than 70,000 taels."

"Three years, more than 70,000 taels?" Su Jixiang was shocked. "It's not too little."

"It is indeed a lot." Wei Ling said, "I will not delve into it further, so let's stop here! As for the other losses, I will not calculate them. After all, I still need people. Some people deserve to die, and some people can be let go for the time being, but I will remember this account."
