After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

At night, Xun Yu called Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Yu to his study.

"I am disturbing you two gentlemen so late at night because I have something important to discuss with you."

Mr. Gongsun said hurriedly, "Your Excellency is too polite. We two serve the Xun family. If you have any instructions, please feel free to ask."

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment and sighed in shame: "Can you two gentlemen promise me not to tell my father about this?"

The two exchanged a puzzled look.

Xun Yu explained: "It's not that it's bad for my father, but... I don't want to disappoint my father."

Mr. Gongsun smiled and said, "Sir, please speak. We two will keep our mouths shut for you."

Xun Yu looked at Mr. Yu again.

Mr. Yu nodded.

Only then did Xun Yu feel at ease and told the two gentlemen everything that had happened in the afternoon. He did not dare to hide a single word, because if he did, it would inevitably affect the two gentlemen's judgment and decision-making.

After hearing this, they both felt a black screen before their eyes.

Xun Yu lowered his posture and bowed: "I know I was wrong, please teach me, gentlemen!"

The good thing about Xun Yu is that he never puts on airs as a young master when it comes to people who are truly useful.

But this is really difficult to do.

Mr. Gongsun asked, "Wasn't there another person in the carriage at that time?"

Mr. Yu shook his head: "She was just a maid hired from the car dealership. It's not right to blame her. It's not right."

As long as King Miao was not stupid, it would not be difficult for him to guess that the silver ingot was thrown to him by Xun Yu.

Mr. Gongsun said, "From the perspective of the prince, his actions during the day were not excessive. Miss Bai was on the carriage at the time. How could an old farmer with unknown origins ride in the same carriage with Miss Bai? Although the prince was unable to give him a ride, he rewarded him with silver, which is considered to be kind-hearted."

"The attitude was a bit perfunctory, but it was because the prince was worried that he might be an assassin. For the safety of Miss Bai, he had no choice but to act this way."

Xun Yu suddenly understood: "Mr. Gongsun, what you said makes sense! The Miao King loves his granddaughter very much. This explanation will surely make him feel relieved."

Thinking of something, Xun Yu became worried again, "I'm afraid Lu Yuan will find out the identity of the Miao King early."

Mr. Gongsun stroked his beard and said casually, "I'm not afraid even if they find out."

Xun Yu humbly asked, "Mr. Gongsun, what do you mean?"

Mr. Gongsun said, "I think the Miao King went to the Governor's Mansion on purpose."

Xun Yu: “Oh?”

Mr. Gongsun laughed and said, "The Miao King once intended to marry his granddaughter to Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan was blind and rejected the marriage. If the prince was the Miao King, would he be able to swallow this?"

Xun Yu's eyes paused slightly: "Prince Miao went to the Governor's Mansion... to embarrass Lu Yuan?"

Mr. Gongsun said confidently: "It must be so!"

Xun Yu was puzzled and asked, "But why did he pretend to be an old farmer?"

Mr. Gongsun said meaningfully: "To teach a junior a lesson with great fanfare, wouldn't that be a loss of face for the Miao King? This is to teach Lu Yuan a lesson while leaving him with nowhere to complain!"

Xun Yu murmured, "Is that so?"

Mr. Gongsun smiled and said, "Didn't Miss Bai say that? Her grandfather is the most protective of his own people. If he bullies his grandson, let alone Lu Yuan, even our emperor and the King of Miao would dare to scold him."

Xun Yu curled his lips and smiled: "Lu Yuan, you are really courting death. Why not reject anyone else's marriage? If you reject the Miao King's family, even the Emperor Retired will have to give the Miao King some face. As the Grand Commander... you have reached the end of your rope."

Mr. Yu fell into deep thought. What Brother Gongsun said made sense, but he always felt that something was wrong.

If the Miao King’s thoughts are so easy to guess, is he still the Miao King?

-

Xun Yu only slept for two hours before waking up.

Although he agreed to go with Bai Yuwei to pick up King Miao last night, in order to show his sincerity, he decided to go to the Governor's Mansion first to wait for King Miao.

It was still dark when he arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

I thought I would have to wait for a while, but then I saw an old farmer coming out of the side door cursing.

It was exactly the old farmer I saw yesterday, even the straw hat in his hand was exactly the same.

Xun Yu hurriedly got off the carriage and immediately caught up with him after turning the corner: "Junior Xun Yu, greetings to King Miao!"

King Miao turned around and looked at him with a frown.

Xun Yu took out the gift that Bai Qingchen gave him - a silver-sheathed dagger from Miao.

"I am a friend of Young Master Bai, and I have come here specially to welcome King Miao."

The Miao king took the dagger and weighed it: "It is indeed my grandson's."

Xun Yu was delighted and quickly bowed: "I was rude yesterday, please forgive me, King Miao!"

The Miao King asked, "What's wrong with that?"

Xun Yu repeated the speech that Mr. Gongsun had taught him.

"So it's you guys." The Miao King returned the dagger to him without taking it to heart. "You're also thinking about Wei'er."

Xun Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put the dagger back into his sleeve, and tentatively asked King Miao: "Were you okay in the Governor's Mansion last night?"

He wanted to know whether King Miao had taught Lu Yuan a lesson.

King Miao waved his hands, not wanting to talk about it: "That kid makes me angry when I see him!"

Xun Yu's eyes flickered: "Are you talking about... Lu Yuan?"

The Miao King asked, "Do you know him too?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "This is not a place to talk. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? There is a restaurant nearby that has delicious mutton soup. Would you be willing to try it?"

The two went to an old restaurant.

Xun Yu asked for a room on the second floor.

The Miao King waved his hand and said, "Ten bowls of mutton soup!"

Xun Yu was stunned.

"Ah, I forgot about you." Miao Wang said, "Eleven bowls!"

It’s not that Xun Yu was reluctant to spend the money, but his appetite was truly amazing.

After drinking a few bowls of steaming mutton soup, King Miao felt relaxed all over. "Tell me, who is that Lu Yuan?"

Xun Yu lowered his head and sighed: "How can I, the junior, say this?"

King Miao said: "Tell the truth!"

Xun Yu said: "He was originally an orphan living on the streets, and was later taken in by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister is my father."

King Miao motioned him: "Go on."

Xun Yu said earnestly, "My father felt sorry for him, so he brought him back home to be a stable boy even though he was almost frozen to death. He was very good at pleasing my father, so he made him my book boy. I took him to study and write, and worshipped Jijiu as my teacher. I treated him like my own brother."

King Miao said: "So it is true that he has been treated like a slave in your family."

Xun Yu was stunned, frowned and said: "My family has never treated him harshly."

The Miao King pulled his sleeves and said, "I have been a slave for ten years. It is not harsh treatment, but abuse."

Xun Yu looked at King Miao in confusion, not understanding why he was speaking to Lu Yuan.

King Miao put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full. Thank you for the treat. Thank you for telling me about that kid. Otherwise, I would have thought someone was exaggerating."

King Miao took out a clean handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "I heard that one winter, you punished him to kneel in the snow because the teacher praised him, saying that his handwriting was better than yours."

He carefully folded the handkerchief he had used to wipe his mouth. "He froze himself and his hands were rotten."

The more Xun Yu listened, the more confused he became, and the more frightened he became.

The Miao King put the handkerchief back into his arms and looked at Xun Yu's white jade-like hands: "What a beautiful pair of hands, why would someone want to desecrate them?"

The more Xun Yu listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Miao King..."

Before he could finish his words, King Miao suddenly pulled out a chopstick and stabbed it hard into his hand!

Xun Yu's face turned pale: "Miao King——"

The chopsticks pierced between his fingers and pierced through the table. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

King Miao patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "I was just trying to scare you. Let's go!"

Xun Yu, still panting in shock, followed King Miao out.

But the door slammed shut in front of him!

Outside the door, King Miao's smile turned cold:

"Beat him. By the way, tell the Prime Minister that the gift from Miaojiang has arrived."
