After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 99 Baoshu is a money-eating beast

"Tan Er, how do you know this?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Tan Er pouted and said, "I fought with them before. They injured me, so I ran away to Chun Mama. Later, they went to the pawnbroker and saw me. I asked Chun Mama to train me and then sell me to them!"

Meng Qianqian always thought that it was Chun Mama who picked up Tan'er, but it turned out that it was Tan'er who took the initiative to "surrender to" Chun Mama. Chun Mama nursed Tan'er's injuries and wanted to sell her for a good price to make a profit, but she didn't know that the damage caused by Tan'er made her lose all her money.

Meng Qianqian suddenly felt that Chun’s mother was a little pitiful.

Tan Er said: "Mother Chun told me that those people are the confidants of Wanhua Tower. Don't go against them, or you will lose your life!"

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "No wonder you are willing to be locked in a cage."

"Not entirely." Tan'er said with some resentment, "Mother Chun gave me a knockout drug to make me lose my strength!"

Others who were drugged would fall into a deep sleep, but Tan'er just felt weak all over. Meng Qianqian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She touched Tan'er's head and said, "Tan'er has suffered."

Tan Er nodded repeatedly and said eagerly: "It won't be bitter if I have a meal of braised pork!"

Meng Qianqian couldn't help laughing: "Let Madam Du do it for you tomorrow."

Tan Er was overjoyed, and rushed into the yard with arms and legs spread out: "There's braised pork."

Meng Qianqian glanced at the token of Wanhua Tower and her expression froze slightly.

In the second half of the night, the bustling capital fell silent, like a dormant giant beast, resting with its eyes closed on the dragon vein of the Great Zhou.

A man in black clothes and white hair came to Zhuque Street. He shook the Feng Shui compass in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "It won't go bad sooner or later, but it has to go bad at this time."

"It should be nearby."

"Why are there so many houses in the capital? Which one is Xiao Yinhu in?"

The white-haired man in black clothes put away the compass and said, "Never mind, let's find a place to stay first and wait until the compass is repaired."

He walked around Zhuque Street and finally turned into Feng Shui Contract.

He came to a house that was obviously newly painted and raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, someone lives here? Who is so discerning as to fancy a haunted house that was slaughtered by the Qianji Pavilion? Since someone lives here, I can only... live next door."

He climbed over the wall and went into the next room. He pushed open the door and saw a white-haired old lady soaking in the bathtub.

Seeing a handsome man enter, the old lady hugged her arms and shouted: "This is indecent--"

"Uh, sorry."

The man in black clothes decisively closed the door and flashed outside the house in an instant. "It's really troublesome that the compass is broken."

click!

A brick that he stepped on broke and fell towards him.

He immediately opened the peach wood umbrella at his waist to ward off evil spirits and blocked the brick in time.

"Huh, even though I don't have a compass to predict good or bad luck, I can still turn bad luck into good luck with my superior wisdom and martial arts!"

He was holding an umbrella and walking forward in an extremely handsome manner, but he stepped on empty air after taking a few steps.

"Uh-huh-who dug a well here-"

A fallen peach wood umbrella swayed and covered the wellhead.

……

Meng Qianqian was lying on the bed. The night was as dark as ink. She could not see anything clearly, but her mind was unusually clear.

That man was Madam Yan's subordinate. Could it be that Madam Yan was passing a message to Concubine Li that day?

Was Lu Yuan's appearance a coincidence, or did he originally plan to go there?

The next day, Meng Qianqian got up at dawn.

"Why are you up so early?"

Nanny Li said distressedly, "Sleep a little longer. We finally moved out of the Lu family, and no one sets the rules."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "I'm used to it in the military camp."

Nanny Li's face darkened. Damn Lu Yuan!

Meng Qianqian smiled.

After breakfast, Meng Qianqian went to the Governor's Mansion.

Manager Cen hurried out to greet her and said with a smile, "Miss Meng is here, please come in!"

"I won't go in yet." Meng Qianqian said politely, "Is the Grand Commander here?"

Steward Cen's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "The Grand Commander has gone to court. Please wait in your room. Miss Baoshu will soon wake up, and she will be very happy to see you."

Manager Cen was too enthusiastic, and Meng Qianqian was a little overwhelmed: "Don't bother, I'll go to tidy up the library first, and I'll come back after the Grand Commander leaves the court. When Baoshu wakes up later, she can come to the library to find me."

After Lu Yuan resumed his attendance at court, the chaotic atmosphere in the court was much less severe.

"No one has impeached me today? Didn't you impeach me happily during the time I was away from the capital? Elder Yang, I heard that if His Majesty doesn't dismiss me, you will die in this Golden Throne Hall."

Yang Ge Lao choked hard.

Lu Yuan sat behind the beaded curtain, sneered and raised the corners of his lips: "It seems that you don't want to bump into each other. If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."

Zong Zhengxi sat upright.

Civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one said a word.

Lu Yuan raised his finger.

Zhang Zongguan, who was beside Zong Zhengxi, sang: "Retreat——to——"

Lu Yuan took a carriage back to the Governor's Mansion. As soon as he got off the carriage, Steward Cen came to greet him and said, "Grand Governor, Miss Meng is in the library. Please come over."

Lu Yuan asked dangerously, "Is she giving orders to me?"

"No, no, no!" Steward Cen secretly wiped away a cold sweat and said with a smile, "Miss Meng wants you to take a look. Are you satisfied with the library she has organized? Inspect it, inspect it!"

It almost did more harm than good.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and went to the library.

The first floor was almost tidied up, with only the last two large bookshelves left. Meng Qianqian rolled up her sleeves and carefully sorted the books scattered on the floor.

Baoshu was crawling happily behind her, and the little wild cat taken in by Qingshuang was chasing the light coming in through the window frame.

The quaint and silent attic, in her calmness and gentleness, and in the cleverness and quirkiness of the little ones, is filled with a different kind of vitality.

It makes people feel that the years are peaceful.

"Meow~"

The little tabby cat spotted Lu Yuan and ran towards him.

Baoshu stuck out her little butt and looked back at her cheap daddy.

The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched.

I come up with a new job every day and I don’t know who I learned it from.

Meng Qianqian put down the book in her hand, stepped forward and saluted Lu Yuan: "Grand Commander."

"What do you want to see me for?"

Lu Yuan is not stupid. She must have gone to find him, which is why Manager Cen mentioned this unnecessarily.

Meng Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then took out a stack of banknotes from her purse: "Repay the principal owed to the Grand Commandant, and the interest will be paid off after the library is sorted out."

Lu Yuan looked at her deeply.

Meng Qianqian knew that his precious hands would not take the banknotes by themselves, so she put the banknotes on the table.

Lu Yuan asked: "That's it?"

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Xiaojiu has a question in mind that he wants to ask the Grand Commander."

Lu Yuan: "Speak."

Meng Qianqian: "On the day of the celebration banquet, the Grand Commander appeared near where Concubine Li was secretly communicating with someone. Was it a coincidence?"

Lu Yuan looked at Meng Qianqian strangely.

Meng Qianqian took out the token she had taken from the man in black and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan actually took it this time. After reading it, he said nonchalantly, "You from Wanhua Tower, so you thought that what happened that day had something to do with me? I didn't know someone was meeting with Concubine Li in private. It was Baoshu who wanted to find you."

Meng Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that the Grand Admiral has nothing to do with this matter. However, looking at the Grand Admiral's expression, he doesn't seem surprised."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "What's so surprising? I guessed it was someone from Wanhua Tower."

Meng Qianqian thought about it and told what happened last night.

Lu Yuan said, "It's not Madam Yan who wants to kill you, but you did kill Madam Yan's people. I'll take the token for you and return it to Madam Yan later. She must know what her people did behind her back."

The men in black came to silence her, it was not Madam Yan's instruction, but what about the tragedy of the whole family being massacred that year?

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Just say whatever you want to say."

Meng Qianqian lowered her eyes and asked, "Is Madam Yan a good person or a bad person?"

Lu Yuan asked back: "In your mind, am I good or evil?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head: "Xiaojiu doesn't know."

This was the truth. She had never seen through Lu Yuan. He had killed countless people, formed cliques for personal gain, framed loyal ministers, and disrupted the government. But at the border, he had indeed saved the people from danger.

You could say he did it for military power, but the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit. Even a Bodhisattva is worshipped by mortals with incense and offerings, isn't he?

Lu Yuan was not too surprised by her answer.

Lu Yuan said calmly, "I don't know whether Madam Yan is a good person or not."

Meng Qianqian paused: "If I seek revenge on her——"

Lu Yuan said coldly: "That is a matter between you two. It has nothing to do with me."

Meng Qianqian didn't expect him to say this. She thought that since he could entrust Baoshu to Madam Yan, he must have an extraordinary relationship with Madam Yan.

"The Grand Commander doesn't ask me what grudge I have against her?"

Lu Yuan put his hands behind his back and said arrogantly, "If you want to say it, you can say it naturally. Why do you need me to ask? However, I want to remind you that Lady Yan is not so easy to kill. Don't think that she will show mercy to you for my sake. I have only had a deal with her, not a friendship."

So that's how it is. Meng Qianqian nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Grand Commander."

As the two were talking, Baoshu sneakily crawled under the table and directed her new little brother, the tabby cat, to jump onto the table, which she could not reach, and sweep the silver bills off it.

She stretched out her chubby little hand and stuffed the banknotes into her pocket!

The two adults couldn't bear to watch.

Meng Qianqian cleared her throat.

Lu Yuan said, "I heard from Shangguan Ling that you asked Tan'er to inquire about the relationship between the governor and Concubine Li?"

"Ok?"

Have it? Why didn't she know?

Meng Qianqian looked at him blankly.

A fierce murderous look flashed in Lu Yuan's beautiful phoenix eyes, as if he would crush her to death if she dared to say no.

Meng Qianqian lowered her head and took the blame.

Lu Yuan said coldly: "You are my bodyguard, please be aware of your status and do not overstep your authority."

Meng Qianqian responded in a servile manner: "Yes, Xiaojiu will never dare to ask about the Grand Commander's private affairs again!"

"She is my mother's sister."
