The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 231 What a big game of chess

"Who asked you to pretend to be Miss Yang?"

"Who asked you to rescue Arui?"

The two asked at the same time, and then remained silent at the same time.

Bai Zhaozhao changed the question: "I heard that only wealthy businessmen can come in here. Aren't you an official? How did you get in?"

Zhang Zhiyi replied, "I have just been transferred to a nearby county as a magistrate, and Jishitang has also opened in Jiangling County!"

Out of trust, Zhang Zhiyi quickly told him everything. It turned out that Bai Lin knew about the existence of the Goddess Temple half a year ago, so he had been paying attention to the situation in Jiangling County. Gradually, he discovered that there was a discrepancy between the tax revenue and expenditure of Jiangling County, but because of his outstanding political achievements, no one doubted it.

It happened that Zhang Zhiyi was transferred to the vicinity of Jiangling County not long ago, so Bai Lin asked him to investigate the details here in the name of Jishidiang to see if there was any money-making incident.

Originally, Zhang Zhiyi didn't find anything, but two months ago, by chance, he saved a man covered in blood. The man claimed to be a Jinyiwei stationed in Jiangling County. They found that many wealthy businessmen would withdraw large amounts of money from the money houses in the city, which was very suspicious. After investigation, they discovered that there were transactions involving collusion between officials and businessmen in this manor, but at the same time they were also hunted down. Finally, he hoped that Zhang Zhiyi could help him enter the manor and find out what was going on.

So Zhang Zhiyi thought of Bai Lin's guess. He distributed money everywhere as a shareholder of Jishidiang and was finally invited to this manor. When he came for the first time, he roughly understood the operation of the government, and he also found out the identity of the man in blue, who was the head of the manor. He turned out to be a servant of the Yang family!

This result surprised Zhang Zhiyi, but there was nothing he could do. After the Jinyiwei recovered, he found some account books on the farm and pointed directly to the Yang family as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Now the Jinyiwei is ready to report!

At this time, Zhang Zhiyi, who had been paying attention to the Yang family, heard that someone had instigated Yang Laoliu to send Miss Yang Rui to the Goddess Temple as a waitress. He was shocked. How could the Yang family not even let go of their own family members?

So Zhang Zhiyi found the Jinyiwei and stopped them from reporting it, saying that they should try to rescue Yang Rui to see if there was any hidden story behind this matter.

The Jinyiwei and his companions were also surprised. They realized that this incident was either directed and acted by the Yang family themselves, or someone was framing the Yang family. In any case, they still had to put on a show, so on that day, some Jinyiwei pretended to go out of the city and report according to the plan.

Zhang Zhiyi kept sending people to keep an eye on the Goddess Temple until Bai Zhaozhao, pretending to be Arui, went in for a day and came out again. He then followed her to the manor and bought Bai Zhaozhao's ownership for one month for 120,000 taels of silver.

"Oh my god! One hundred and twenty thousand taels, I'm so valuable!"

Zhang Zhiyi couldn't help but frown. Why was Bai Zhaozhao's focus so strange?

"Miss Bai, money is not the point."

"Oh, yes, the point is that I raised the price! When Princess Changxing sent someone to plot against me, it only cost me 100,000 taels of silver!"

Zhang Zhiyi paused, with an inexplicable look on his face: "If I knew you were pretending to be Miss Yang, I could offer you up to 200,000 taels."

"Haha, forget it, I guess there is no such opportunity! Master Zhang, let's get down to business. The man behind this manor is actually Prefect He. Based on your description, I guess he wants to pin the blame on the Yang family for the events of the Goddess Temple and the manor, and use the Jinyiwei to report to the court while trying to take down the Yang family, gaining both fame and fortune!"

Then Bai Zhaozhao told the story of how she and Wang Jinnian met Wan Weishang.

Zhang Zhiyi reacted and suddenly realized: "In that case, the assassination of Jinyiwei was a show, and the account book was taken by Jinyiwei as a plan! And the waiter on the farm will be released after a month, because he is not afraid of being exposed at all, but the Yang family will take the blame after being exposed!"

Bai Zhaozhao nodded and said, "This method is quite in line with the style of the Qin Party. First do evil, then put the blame on others, and then make merit for yourself! The wealthy merchants and gentry in the village are like pigs in a pen. First, make money from them for their enjoyment, and then kill the pigs and eat their meat, making them stepping stones for political achievements! Tsk tsk, what a big chess game!"

Zhang Zhiyi frowned and said, "This is difficult. The one-sided statement of Wan Weishang is not enough to prove that the prefect He was behind the scenes. On the contrary, the account book of Jinyiwei can prove that it was the Yang family. In addition, the Goddess Temple was indeed built by the Yang family. As long as that steward Lin and the person in charge of the manor also identify the Yang family, the evidence is solid! Isn't it impossible to clear it even if you jump into the Yellow River?"

"It seems to be true!" Bai Zhaozhao calmly ate the snacks on the table.

Zhang Zhiyi asked suspiciously, "Why don't you seem worried at all?"

"Because I have a way!"

Zhang Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "What method?"

"Wait for Wang Jinnian! He said that as long as I protect the Yang family first, he will be back in two days!"

Zhang Zhiyi paused. Is this... okay?

However, he had heard of Wang Jinnian's name, so he asked, "Then what should I do?"

Bai Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you go back and tell the Jinyiwei about our speculation first, and then go to secretly protect the Yang family. I will stay here and see if I can find other evidence."

"How can this be possible? If Bai Lin knew that I didn't take you out..."

"You can keep it from him!"

"..."

In the end, Zhang Zhiyi left and told the servants outside, "Don't worry about her for the next two days. Let her starve!"

"Okay! Don't worry! After two days of being locked up, even the most fiery young lady will behave herself!"

evening.

Bai Zhaozhao changed into black clothes and took out the talisman paper from the space. However, she did not stick it on herself. Instead, she found a docile bird from the space and stuck the talisman paper on its feathers.

Then Bai Zhaozhao took the bird to browse the situation in the entire village. It was brutal, perverted, with many people involved, in all kinds of ways, and extremely disgusting!

Bai Zhaozhao almost couldn't help but kill someone!

Then she found the person in charge of Zhuangzi, the man in green, and saw him go to a water pavilion. So Bai Zhaozhao quickly tied the bird to a branch not far away and hid herself in the space.

The man in green checked around the water pavilion and after making sure that there was no one around, he took out a whistle and blew it. Not long after, a man who looked like a guard appeared at the water pavilion.

Bai Zhaozhao stayed in the space for about a quarter of an hour and then came out carefully. Seeing that there was no one in the pavilion, she stopped consuming the energy of the image-retaining talisman.

Afterwards, Bai Zhaozhao returned to the previous courtyard.

Early the next morning.

The whole village was in an uproar, as if it had exploded. All the wealthy businessmen who had stayed overnight here were caught by the government soldiers, cursing or trembling in fear, and gathered in the front yard.
