I made millions after becoming a tyrant's concubine

In the garden of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the tea-serving boy left after serving the refreshments, and there was no one patrolling the entire garden.

After Cheng Liang lifted his clothes and sat down, he turned his head to look at Qian Yanzhi who was eating snacks, and said seriously: "Your Majesty asked you to go out of the palace to do business, but you went to drink and watch Hu Nu dancing."

Qian Yanzhi's face froze, and he raised his head and said cautiously: "I didn't use public funds to eat and drink, and he didn't allocate funds for me."

Cheng Liang: "I know what His Majesty told you to do."

Qian Yanzhi was a little surprised: "You know it too."

Cheng Liang nodded: "Jiangzhou is a place rich in brocade embroidery in our dynasty. It is a land of prosperity. Unexpectedly, after the new Jiangzhou magistrate took office, he would wantonly scrape the people's flesh and blood, and even persecute good people. He is like a local bully."

Qian Yanzhi dropped the cake in shock: "Then why doesn't His Majesty deal with it?"

Cheng Liang sighed, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said seriously:

"Because the magistrate of Jiangzhou is the king of Xiyuan, and now the uncle of King Huai'an."

Qian Yanzhi didn't understand.

Cheng Liang continued: "At the beginning, Meng Xingchen, the king of Xiyuan, came to surrender the whole country, and later Dongyi also surrendered to our dynasty. After the unification of the Central Plains, in order to strengthen the hearts of the people of the two countries, His Majesty used these capable people from the two countries. The treatment is the same as that of officials in our court, and there is no distinction between high and low."

Qian Yanzhi carefully poured tea for Cheng Liang, and continued to listen to him.

Cheng Liang said: "Your Majesty is so talented and broad-minded, how could we be able to defeat him? He boldly promoted talents, and in order to weigh the hearts of those who surrendered, he let us lead troops to guard the border town, but here, only the shortcomings are left. There are [-] soldiers and horses guarding the Huben Army, if these people have the intention of rebelling again, I am afraid that His Majesty's safety will be unpredictable."

Qian Yanzhi seemed to understand, "So Your Majesty let the uncle of King Huai'an be the magistrate of Jiangzhou?"

Cheng Liang nodded: "It's not all for the sake of stabilizing the hearts of the people of Xiyuan, and part of the reason is because this Cheng Dongze is very knowledgeable about silk embroidery, so he was allowed to go, but he didn't think that he didn't have the heart to surrender. You failed His Majesty's trust by persecuting good people in Jiangzhou."

Qian Yanzhi: "Then what is the witness I'm looking for now?"

Cheng Liang said: "Although His Majesty is ruthless in killing, he is not killing innocent people indiscriminately. When he learned of Cheng Dongze's actions, he planned to order Cheng Dongze to be executed directly in Jiangzhou."

"However, I have seen that in recent years, most of the rumors towards His Majesty are tyrannical and ruthless. Especially after the incident that year, these remarks have become more and more true. Therefore, I can't bear to ruin your Majesty's reputation, so I suggest that Your Majesty find The witness who fled to the capital announced Cheng Dongze's crimes to the world, and then dealt with them, so that the hearts of the surrendered citizens of the two countries will not feel that our dynasty intends to suppress."

Qian Yanzhi frowned in puzzlement, and the pastry in his mouth was no longer sweet at that moment: "Could it be that he is not a tyrant? But let me see, he kills people without blinking an eye."

Cheng Liang said: "Are you talking about Chen Xin who instigated assassins to assassinate His Majesty? He did it on his own accord. We have all seen with our own eyes how his master treated His Majesty and Empress Dowager Yang back then."

Qian Yanzhi pursed his lips and asked: "Then I heard His Majesty said that he has eyeliner, and even if he has eyeliner, he should protect the witness. Why do we need to find the witness who has escaped into the capital now?"

Cheng Liang said seriously: "That's because this witness was very careful. He was not sure whether the people following him were protecting him or trying to harm him, so he lost him on the way to Beijing. Moreover, the witness sent by Jiangzhou People have also entered Beijing, so it can be seen that Jiangzhou also sent people to kill him to silence him, so we must go one step ahead of Dongze and find witnesses."

Qian Yanzhi was dumbfounded and could only nod dully in the end.

Qian Yanzhi: 'System, does this witness have any information?Otherwise, how can I find a needle in a haystack? '

As soon as he finished summoning the system, Cheng Liang took out the paper from his pocket and handed it to Qian Yanzhi:

"This is based on the appearance of the witness drawn by the eyeliner. Take a look first."

Qian Yanzhi took the paper and opened it, looking at the slightly abstract painting skills on the paper, he didn't know where to start his evaluation.

He seems to be able to forgive those who have portraits of historical figures in history books. Their portraits really don't look like real people.

Cheng Liang asked, "What's wrong?"

Qian Yanzhi tried his best to smile, and looked carefully at the person on the portrait again: "I think since he fled to the capital, in order to escape the pursuit of Jiangzhou, he will definitely change his appearance. This portrait is probably only It can be used as a reference."

Cheng Liang suddenly realized: "Yes, you are still thoughtful."

At this time, the system also sent the information of the witness to Qian Yanzhi, and even attached a photo of the witness.

It was only then that Qian Yanzhi realized how different the portrait in his hand was from the photo. If it wasn't for the clothes they were looking at, they wouldn't be the same person at all.

He was very curious now, with the portrait in his hand, could they really find the so-called witness?

Qian Yanzhi put away the witness's portrait, seemed to think of something, looked up at Cheng Liang and asked: "I just saw that your house is quite busy, do you want to invite any guests?"

Cheng Liang poured tea and drank by himself and nodded: "Well, tonight my father is hosting a banquet for the Duke of England and the Marquis of Xichang, and His Majesty will also be here, so why not leave the envoy with less money, and go back to the palace with His Majesty later."

Qian Yanzhi stared wide-eyed, full of joy: "But I came to look for witnesses under His Majesty's order, so he won't blame me for leaving my post without authorization."

Cheng Liang thought for a while: "It's okay, I've already sent someone out to look for it, it's up to you... Forget it, you just rest."

Qian Yanzhi's originally smiling face immediately dimmed: "I can find it just as well, don't look down on me, let me tell you, it was my credit for catching the assassin in the palace back then."

Cheng Liang nodded: "That's right, that's right, Shaoshi Qian is extremely powerful, but he ran away after being frightened by the prince Helian."

Qian Yanzhi pursed her lips: "Isn't it fun to expose people's scars! He is a man who says he wants to marry me, so I have to go back, and I have to marry him!"

Cheng Liang continued to nod: "Then you say you won't marry."

Qian Yanzhi: "..." raised his middle finger.

Cheng Liang smiled brightly, and ignored him, and then realized that the Duke of Zhen and the Duke of Yingying were coming towards the garden together. Looking at Cheng Liang and Qian Yanzhi in the gazebo, they also walked over.

Although the Duke of England is almost seventy years old, he is still tall and strong. He is worthy of being a figure from the military, and he was able to lead troops to the Dongyi a few years ago.

"A few days ago, I heard my naughty grandson mention Qian Shaoshi. I just heard them say that Qian Shaoshi is in the house, and I can't wait to see him. Qian Shaoshi doesn't think the old man is presumptuous?" With a loving smile, he looked Qian Yanzhi up and down.

Qian Yanzhi glanced at Cheng Liang, and heard Cheng Liang calling his adoptive father, and hurriedly bowed to him, "Young British Lord loves you so much, why would you feel presumptuous? I've met Zhen Guogong, so I'm bothering you."

The British prince stroked his beard and smiled, patted Qian Yanzhi on the shoulder and said, "He is a nice young man, Ziyue's child is too naughty, it's me and his mother who dote on him too much, I heard he even bought a murderer to trouble you Don’t worry about money, but you have a lot of money.”

Qian Yanzhi said: "Mr. Ying's words embarrass me. Why don't you have a lot of adults? Brother Qin and I work together, and some friction is normal. We became good friends later, it's all a misunderstanding. ,Misunderstand."

The Duke of England laughed heartily, and listened to Zhen Guo's justice: "There are no outsiders in the house tonight. If you have less money, you might as well stay today. You don't have to be restrained."

Qian Yanzhi saluted: "Then bother Duke Zhen."

After seeing Duke Zhen Guo and Duke Ying Ying, Qian Yanzhi realized how frightening the aura of this man who killed his whole life was.

After waiting for the two of them to leave, Qian Yanzhi said: "I said Cheng Gongming, your father is so fierce."

Cheng Liang looked at him sideways: "It's probably the same when I get old."

Qian Yanzhi pursed his lips, and staggered to the side: "I really don't understand why you ancient people like to pretend to be so serious, why don't you just relax?"

Cheng Liang frowned: "You... ancient people? What about you?"

Qian Yanzhi nodded: "I am a modern person of the new era, a youth of the new era with invincible potential."

"Then a man ran away in fright when he said he wanted to marry you." Cheng Liang taunted.

Qian Yanzhi looked at him expressionlessly: "..."

Break up the relationship, don't meet again in the future, this person is too annoying!

Cheng Liang is very useful to Qian Yanzhi's appearance at the moment, especially after seeing his complacent appearance, it is very interesting that he is speechless because of a single sentence.

But this promised Duke Zhen Guo to stay for dinner, so Qian Yanzhi was not idle, and took advantage of the spare time to turn over the story of fleeing from the wilderness, busy discussing with Cheng Liang how to stay calm in the capital Go find the so-called witness.

Qian Yanzhi said: "Cheng Gongming, do you think we should send some eyeliner to the Huai'an Prince's Mansion? After all, the magistrate of Jiangzhou is his uncle, and people from Jiangzhou will definitely look for the Huai'an King."

Cheng Liang: "I sent them there early in the morning."

Qian Yanzhi: "Okay, I'm one step too late."

Cheng Liang smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be of much help at first, your purpose is to confuse others' attention."

Qian Yanzhi stared at him, but seeing Cheng Liang's appearance became more and more serious, Qian Yanzhi inexplicably also became serious.

"Your Majesty has gone through a lot of things, and sometimes he does things arbitrarily, but after all, he can't afford to be betrayed again after sailing carefully for thousands of years." Cheng Liang said.

Qian Yanzhi approached cautiously, and asked softly: "Who on earth betrayed His Majesty, is it the little prince's biological mother?"

Cheng Liang looked slightly startled, and covered Qian Yanzhi's mouth with his hand: "Did no one tell you not to mention the little prince's biological mother? You can't ask, you can't mention it."

Qian Yanzhi blinked his eyes, the more mysterious he was, the more he wanted to know the inside story.

However, every time the system is queried, the system will cover it with one word, allowing the players to explore by themselves.

Qian Yanzhi was helpless.

Who is this little prince's biological mother? I'm really curious!
