The two characters of Wen Fu were in front of her eyes, and Yin Miao was extremely curious.

She is finally going to meet the legendary corrupt official.

Generally, young ladies go out with maids. Before she left, she saw Yue'er and Xing'er who were ready, but she only chose Yu'an who was still in the corner of the wall and in the mud.

Yu An was obviously very uneasy following Yin Miao at the moment. She has a reputation for self-awareness, and no maidservant would be as rude as her.

"You don't have to be nervous, just follow me."

Yin Miao also discovered Yu An's restraint. She brought her maid just to make herself look like a normal official lady, and she did not intend to ask Yu An to do anything.

As for Yue'er and Xing'er, she obviously didn't notice anything, but they were already prepared, which means it's self-evident.

The appearance of corrupt officials in the TV series that she watched before was brought in, but when Yin Miao saw Wen Zhuoyuan, she found that he was completely different from what she imagined.

This is a middle-aged man who looks easy-going and can even be described by the word "kindness". He is well maintained and has no wrinkles of his age except for the crow's feet that appear from the corners of his eyes.

Yin Miao even felt affectionate towards him at first glance.

"I don't know if His Royal Highness King Xuan is too far away to welcome him. This is the dereliction of duty by a lower official."

Wen Zhuoyuan walked over with a look of sincerity and fear, and immediately knelt in front of Xiao Xuan.

"Master Wen doesn't need to be more polite. This king suddenly visited today, but this king is disrespectful."

Xiao Xuan said.

"Where is it, His Royal Highness King Xuan has just returned to Beijing, and the lower official is planning to choose a day to visit. It is really a blessing to have His Highness visit."

The two chatted while walking in front, and Yin Miao in the back also looked at the Wen residence.

Compared with the atmosphere of Xuanwang's mansion, Wen mansion can only be regarded as a unique mansion, with no ponds, rockeries, or complicated architectural sculptures. To say that this is the home of a corrupt official, she really can't tell.

Wen Zhuoyuan took a few people to the hall of Wen Mansion, which was like a courtyard, without any precious ornaments.

Xiao Xuan cut straight to the point: "As soon as this king returned to Beijing, he took over the task of thoroughly investigating the three divisions given by the emperor. I think Lord Wen also knows it."

"The third treasury department will be checked every few years, and the lower official will fully cooperate with His Highness."

Wen Zhuoyuan replied.

"That's good. This king really believes in Lord Wen's character, but there are still some procedural matters."

Xiao Xuan showed a relieved expression, Wen Zhuoyuan seemed to be ready, and immediately ordered people to bring over the accounts and various account books.

It doesn't matter if you take it, there are more than a dozen boxes of account books in front of the hall.

"His Royal Highness, this is the entry and exit details of the warehouses of the three divisions in the past three years. It is accurate to every transaction every day. The lower official has been keeping it safe."

Wen Zhuoyuan said quickly.

Everyone present thought that King Xuan would show an embarrassed or impatient expression, but he didn't expect his expression to remain unchanged: "Zhang Yue Zhang Chi, you first bring people to bring these accounts back to the mansion."

"Yes!"

Zhang Yue and Zhang Chi are different from Yun Jiang and Yun He. The two were originally the guards of the Xuan palace, and this time Gong Yue and others found them again.

Wen Zhuoyuan only realized when he saw the two of them holding up the account books of the two wooden boxes with ease.

Is King Xuan really here this time?

However, he quickly settled down in his heart, these account books are completely without problems, even if he turned over the books over and over again, he was innocent.

Seeing Wen Zhuoyuan so calm, Yin Miao thought of one of the details in the original book. When the Beirou soldiers were searching for Wen Zhuoyuan's house, they accidentally broke a column, only to find that it was full of silver ingots, and there were many hollows in Wen's house. The walls are full of gold bars...

It's just that if they don't find evidence, they can't rashly search other people's homes.

However, Yin Miao still looked at the Wen Mansion carefully. The hall they were in seemed to be specially used for receiving guests. She believed that Wen Zhuoyuan would definitely not hide anything here.

"Presumably this is Miss Yin?"

After a beautiful woman walked in from the door, she was looking at Yin Miao with a smile.

"Exactly, are you the wife of the Wen family?"

Yin Miao also looked at the other party, and this lady probably looked like she was only in her twenties or thirties.

After greeting King Xuan, the woman said again, "Miss Yin is very smart, Liu Ru is polite."

Liu Ru bowed, her gestures were gentle and graceful, and Yin Miao could smell a faint scent that seemed to be absent.

"Madam has been awarded."

Even the original body had never dealt with this Wen Mansion. Yin Miao just did some homework before coming. I heard that the Wen Mansion's wife was newly married and a well-informed beauty. In addition, she dared to appear at this time. , she guessed that it could only be the eldest lady of the Wen residence.

"Since Miss Yin is a female family member, why don't you come with me to the backyard to drink tea and chat, or let your Highness and a few people speak freely."

Yin Miao was stunned for a while, she did not want to chat with a stranger over tea, but she agreed.

"Miss..." Yu An seemed to be afraid that Yin Miao would be left alone, and said with a somewhat uneasy laughter.

"You follow me." After Yin Miao signaled to Yu An, Yu An was relieved.

"If A Miao doesn't want to go, just stay with me here."

Xiao Xuan knew that Yin Miao did not like to deal with this, so he said in public.

The people in the house looked surprised.

When did Duke Yin's daughter become so close to His Royal Highness King Xuan? Moreover, King Xuan treats her well, is that rumor true?

"It's okay, my wife and I can go for a walk, we won't disturb you."

Yin Miao blinked at Xiao Xuan, she could take this opportunity to look at Wen Mansion.

"Miss Yin must have been bored by what we were talking about, so Liu Ru took her around to drink tea, but don't neglect Miss Yin."

Wen Zhuoyuan also said with a smile.

"The concubine knows."

Liu Ru replied meekly.

Yin Miao came to an unusual courtyard with her. The reason why it was unusual was because the flowers, plants and trees here did not show any signs of withering, but because of the recent rainy days, they looked more and more green.

"Husband knows that I love these plants and trees, so he has been watering them here. He would rather be short of water in the house than let these plants wither."

Liu Ru introduced.

"Master Wen and his wife are really loving, and I am very envious."

Yin Miao could hear the bragging in these words, so she said with a smile.

Liu Ru really showed a happy expression, she led Yin Miao and the two to a pavilion, and gave a few words to the two maids behind her.

"Miss Yin comes here very rarely. I have a new Longjing gift from my husband. I don't know where these two maids are, so I'll come when I go." Liu Ru said.

"You're welcome, ma'am."

Yin Miao couldn't ask for it. Although Wen Mansion looked ordinary on the outside, it was different from the inside. She wanted to take a look around by herself.
