Xiao Qiang Zi was brought back to the Qianyu Guard and was ridiculed by colleagues, saying how could someone so short come here. On the first day of training, they were made to run with weights. Seizing the opportunity, she escaped from the woods and went back to find the Emperor.
The Emperor thought Xiao Qiang Zi would resent him for not saving her, but she spoke a lot of sympathetic words for him, and it seemed the Emperor hadn't made the wrong friend. At this time, Yan Zhangyun came to find the Emperor and deliberately took Xiao Qiang Zi away, who was avoiding training.
She criticized his training methods and proposed to increase cohesion among colleagues. Yan Zhangyun used this as an opportunity to have him do laundry for everyone. Xiao Qiang Zi took the opportunity to play with bubbles, and her happy appearance reminded Yan Zhangyun of his childhood when a kind family took him in after he was seriously injured, and the memory of the little girl playing with bubbles remained vivid.
He didn't know why he suddenly thought of that little girl. In order to leave, Xiao Qiang Zi deliberately sprayed food on Yan Zhangyun's face during dinner, even brewed worm tea for him, and deliberately scattered dessert crumbs all over the floor to disgust him.
To employ stronger tactics, Xiao Qiang Zi took the opportunity to come and bathe Yan Zhangyun while he was bathing. Her attentive appearance made Yan Zhangyun feel uncomfortable. How could a eunuch have inappropriate thoughts about him? He hurriedly fled in fright. Lord Wei received treasures brought back by his nephew Chen Juncai from abroad, preparing to sell them at a high price.
Wei Tianjiao returned home, and his father was very happy. Before he could say a few words, his son asked him to prepare five hundred taels. Lord Wei's nephew Chen Juncai and Fang You were caught using Zhu Yin powder by the Qianyu Guard. It turned out they were informants here. Yan Zhangyun wanted to torture Fang You, who confessed out of fear, saying that the Zhu Yin powder was hidden in Yinma Lane.
The next day, Yan Zhangyun found Zhu Yin powder and a lot of treasury silver in Yinma Lane, while Lord Wei claimed that someone was framing him, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to steal from himself. The Prime Minister this time didn't hesitate to bring up that Duke Dingguo's mansion was also involved because of Zhu Yin powder.
Whether Lord Wei was implicated is unknown. The Emperor handed the matter over to Yan Zhangyun for investigation. In order to investigate the truth of the past, Yan Zhangyun sent someone to Lord Wei's mansion to check the account books. His subordinates found it difficult, after all, Lord Wei's mansion was heavily guarded. Yan Zhangyun, citing a lack of military funds, designed to involve Xiao Qiang Zi.
Xiao Qiang Zi volunteered to take on Yan Zhangyun's three moves in order to win the reward money. She dodged the three moves and, when she came to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the reward money, there was no money left. In order to get the reward money, Xiao Qiang Zi took the lead in asking Wei Tianjiao for money, after all, his father had embezzled the funds. Xiao Qiang Zi, who was being manipulated, confidently approached Yan Zhangyun, hoping he would be merciful to his subordinates.
Xiao Qiang Zi volunteered to ask for military funds. It turned out that Yan Zhangyun also saw that his background behind him was the Emperor, so even if something happened, the Emperor would protect him. When they arrived at Lord Wei's mansion, she was originally polite and wanted to negotiate with Lord Wei's mansion, but she was discriminated against, and colleagues deliberately came to blows with the people of Lord Wei's mansion to protect Xiao Qiang Zi.
Yan Zhangyun's personal guard, A Cheng, took the opportunity to search Lord Wei's secret room and stole the account books, and found a lot of treasury silver. Indeed, there was no record of Zhu Yin powder in the account books. Could Lord Wei really have been framed?
Unable to suppress the situation, Xiao Qiang Zi ran back to Yan Zhangyun to report the situation. Outside, it was rumored that Yan Zhangyun incited trouble against Lord Wei on purpose. Lord Wei informed the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager wanted to kill Xiao Qiang Zi, with the Emperor pleading on the side. Yan Zhangyun also explained the reasons behind the matter, admitting his inadequate supervision responsibilities and willing to take the punishment for Xiao Qiang Zi.
Yan Zhangyun took a hundred beatings for Xiao Qiang Zi, with blood already seeping through from behind. In order to improve the supervision of the Qianyu Guard, the Emperor appointed Xiao Qiang Zi as the supervisor of the Qianyu Guard.
