The prince wanted to divorce his wife during pregnancy, and the reborn princess burst into laughter

Of course, it would only take a few bombs like these to raze his Duke's mansion to the ground.

If you go against someone who possesses such powerful destructive power, you will probably die without a complete body.

The Duke was very glad that he had found the woman in black to cooperate with. If he had cooperated with someone else, he would definitely not be a match for Ling Xiao.

Now it depends on who gets the first chance.

The Duke thought about this and took out a black seal from his pocket. This seal was his token of trust. With this seal, he could extract any materials from the Duke's Mansion's assets, as long as they were in the Duke's Mansion.

If you don't have it, you have to find a way to get it.

The Duke handed the seal to the woman in black and said, "With this seal, you can take money and things from my property at will. Just register them."

The woman in black took the seal and bowed to the Duke: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

The Duke: "Since we are on the same boat, I will treat you as my own. I only ask you to fulfill my wish."

"This Pavilion Master guarantees it."

The Duke looked at the veil of the woman in black and thought, "Excuse me, I want to know who the Pavilion Master is."

The woman in black curled her lips and took off her veil, revealing a strange face. The Duke was quite disappointed when he saw it.

He bowed and said, "In that case, I will take my leave. If Pavilion Master needs me for anything, I will be there for you."

"Okay, then, Lord, take care."

The woman in black waved her hand, and two people jumped out from the darkness and escorted the Duke out.

"Master, did you know that this old guy would come to us?"

As soon as the Duke left, the maid in black asked the woman in black.

The woman in black tore off the human skin mask on her face, revealing that it was Li Yuzhu. She smiled and said, "This old thing is the old lover of the deposed queen mother. Ling Xiao killed Ling Yi and his son. Do you think the old thing will seek revenge on Ling Xiao?"

The Tianji Pavilion was originally an organization that brought together information and killers. There was no high-ranking official in the capital who had not been exposed to hidden information by the Tianji Pavilion.

"Since he wants to cooperate with me, he should at least know who I am."

That's why she made a human skin mask. How could she let the Duke know who she is?

What if he finds out and thinks that she is acting with that bastard Ling Xiao and is deliberately messing with him, and refuses to cooperate with her? Then where will she get the funding?

After escaping from the palace, it was no longer possible to run the industries that Ling Xiao knew about, so he sold them all, and even withdrew from the Tianji Pavilion.

Now that she wanted to take revenge, she needed a large amount of money, so she could only find someone in the capital who was rich and not on good terms with Ling Xiao, and the Duke would become the scapegoat.

But when she first approached him, he looked down on her because she was a woman and nothing could be accomplished.

He actually came here on his own today, why didn't she give him a ruthless kill?

On the other side, the Duke had just left here when he saw a dark shadow turning around and leaving.

The black shadow then ran straight to the city gate, and after entering the city, ran straight to the palace, and went straight to Ling Xiao's Qianqing Palace.

This person is An Yi.

Just after the Duke left the palace, Ling Xiao asked An Yi to follow him all the way here.

However, there were many experts guarding outside the villa, so he had no way to sneak into the villa.

So I don’t know who the owner of this villa is.

However, An Yi can be sure that the Duke is in collusion with the owner of the villa.

Just find out the owner of the villa. Of course, there is no problem with the apparent owner of the villa.

An Yi immediately told Ling Xiao what he had seen.

Ling Xiao: "Send more people to keep an eye on the villa and see who lives there. Also, keep a close eye on the Duke. If he dares to take action, just kill him."

Asking him to find evidence and then interrogate him openly would be a waste of his time and energy. His creed is to kill directly, which is simple and brutal, and can also shock people.

An Yi bowed and said, "Yes, but Master, if that's the case, we won't have enough manpower."

It is impossible to train secret guards in a day or two, and more than ten of them died in Prince Rong's Mansion. Even with Su Nanyi's pills, they could not be saved. More than ten people still died.

Now we have to guard the entire palace and go out on missions, so we are very short of manpower.

Ling Xiao frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the black market. The people there can still be used, as long as we don't let them get involved in confidential matters."

Hei Lian, Leng Yue and the ten palace maids in Fengqi Palace were also bought from the black market. Su Nanyi used them very well and they were also very loyal.

"Okay."

An Yi was overjoyed. In fact, he had wanted to tell Ling Xiao to use this method a long time ago, but he was the emperor and the people around him would not want those people.

In fact, most of the people who are sold on the black market are people who have nowhere to go, or people who have to do it out of necessity. It would be a blessing if someone buys them, at least they have a place to stay.

Of course not all of them, it all depends on luck.

An Yi: "Yes, I will go there tomorrow."

Ling Xiao nodded: "I will buy them and train them. I will go out on a private visit to Beizhou in a few days. I will bring some people with me to see if they can be used.

You also go and arrange someone to replace me."

More and more bombs were shipped to Beizhou, but the bombs were too powerful, so Ling Xiao was worried.

If the people below embezzle some of the bomb and store it to cause trouble in the future, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Building a ditch cannot be completed in a day or two, it will take one or two years or even longer.

If some bombs are set off from the beginning, the number of them will be terrifying by the time the project is completed.

Later, use the bomb to attack him, catching him off guard, and he won't even know how he died.

So this thing makes people love and hate it.

An Yi was surprised: "Master, the journey to Beizhou is long, it is not appropriate for you to go there incognito."

Ling Xiao waved his hand: "It's okay, you go and make the arrangements, I'll go to the Queen."

"Yes, master."

An Yi had to go down and make arrangements.

In Fengqi Palace, Su Nanyi was busy. Ever since her full moon, the empress dowager had given her the power to manage the harem.

It was her first time to manage such a large harem, and it was very strenuous, so she had to spend time thinking it through carefully.

Regardless of whether the palace maids in the harem knew about it or not, they were shocked when they saw it. Not to mention the masters, there were six thousand palace maids and eunuchs alone.

Su Nanyi couldn't believe it. The daily expenses of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating for these 6,000 people were a huge expense.

Not to mention the master, including the previous emperor, the deposed emperor, and Ling Xiao, the three generations of emperors, their concubines added up to more than a thousand, and Ling Xiao had the fewest concubines, with only more than a hundred.

With such a huge number, Su Nanyi felt that two-thirds of it could be eliminated.

The concubines of the late emperor can leave the palace if they want. The late emperor is no longer around, so why keep them locked up in the palace?

And there are the concubines of the deposed emperor. The deposed emperor is dead, so why are he still keeping his concubines?

There are also older palace maids and eunuchs who should leave the palace. If they stay in the palace, they will just be wasting national treasury resources.

So Su Nanyi sorted them all out and asked Ling Xiao to take a look.
