Chapter 7 — Sister Married to the Emperor, Forcing Me to Marry a Playboy, No One Knows He is a Hidden Dragon
What's more, Tan Dien Chi has never listened before. Co Hanh issued three consecutive instructions to summon him back to the capital, Tan Dien Chi all used the excuse of "heavy duty border guard", not one of them paid attention. Co Hanh's face was so angry that it turned blue. Tham Chieu Hoa saw an opportunity. She has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. The treasurer that my sister married became a great general, my sister was called a lucky star by the people, my sister lived to the point of prosperity - As for Tham Chieu Hoa, who was the Queen, she was coldly treated by her husband, oppressed by the Noble Concubine, and even the servants in the palace dared to give her an unsightly face. A breath choked in her heart, unable to swallow. Been swallowing for three years. So when Co Hanh started to fear Tan Dien Chi, Tham Chieu Hoa immediately approached—
"Your Majesty, I heard that Qin Dien Chi is on the border colluding with foreign merchants. I'm afraid... there is suspicion of mutual enemy."
Co Hanh looked at her.
“Do you have proof?”
"My concubine does not dare to speak nonsense. But the crystal trade route on that border, the profits are huge, far exceeding the taxes collected by the court. These silver coins, in the end, go to the national treasury, or to the pockets of the Qin family - please, Your Majesty, please consider."
Co Hanh was silent. The next day, the Royal Palace united to play Tan Dien Chi's harp—
"Tan Dien Chi relied on military power, opened his own trade routes, and made profits for his own pockets, suspected of treason against the enemy!"
“Please, Your Majesty, please summon Tan Dien Chi back to the capital to question him!”
The harp's chapters were piled up on the dragon table like flakes of flying snow. The news spread to the border. Tan Dien Chi, in the military tent, looked at the transcribed chapters with no expression on his face. The deputy generals nearby immediately exploded—
"Communication with enemies? Nonsense! The general beat the Huns into dogs and lost their homes, and they say the general has communion with the enemy?!"
“It's obvious that someone is behind it!”
"General, we won't go back! If he has the ability, just send soldiers to capture him!"
Tan Dien Chi raised his hand, and the tent immediately became quiet. He looked towards me.
“You guessed it?”
“Guess.”
I took out a wrapper of oil paper from the chest. Inside is a stack of letters.
“What is this?”
"The correspondence between Tham Chieu Hoa and the Trieu family, food merchants in the capital, dates back to three years ago. The Trieu family was in charge of transporting military food to the border, but in the middle they blocked three parts and sold them back to the Xiongnu's horse traders."
Tan Dien Chi received it and flipped through a few pages.
“Where did you get these envelopes from?”
"The manager of the Trieu family—that's the fat guy who came to the border to buy glass last year. He lost three thousand taels in gambling in An Bac Thanh, pawned a batch of household appliances, and put a few old envelopes inside. I ordered someone to buy back that batch of appliances."
These are true words. In his previous life, the manager of the Trieu family actually brought these letters to An Bac Thanh. It's just that no one paid attention to him in his previous life—because at that time, no one thought that Tham Chieu Hoa was related to the merchant. In this life, I had long sent someone to spy on the Trieu family's people. That night, he lost everything when he gambled and immediately bought back everything he had pawned. The letter is right inside. The advantage of a reincarnated person is not to find evidence without any basis, but to know where the evidence is, then go get it early. Tan Dien Chi looked through each style one by one. His expression changed from calm to cold and sharp.
“Tham Chieu Hoa colluded with the Trieu family to block military supplies, sell them to the Huns—then turned around and accused me of being an enemy.”
He slammed the letter on the table.
"Good. Very good."
He stood up and picked up the flag on the court.
“Command—adjust the army.”
“General?” The deputy general was stunned.
“I want to enter the capital.” His eyes were as cold as a blade.
"Bring evidence, bring light and justice to the capital."
I pulled his sleeve back.
“There is no need for you to go personally.”
“Let me go.”
The tent fell into a deathly silence. Tan Dien Chi frowned: "Are you crazy?"
"If you bring soldiers into the capital, Co Hanh will think you are treason. At that time, the harlot will turn into a plot, and it will be difficult to explain with a hundred words." I looked straight into his eyes.
"I went into the capital alone, brought evidence, and went to court—using my identity as a Qin family member, I pleaded guilty to the general. They accused you of being an enemy, so I will bring out the real enemy."
“Will the people in the capital let her go?”
"I am the daughter of the Tham family. If they want to touch me, they must consider carefully."
Tan Dien Chi stared at me for a long time.
