marry a tyrant

The next day, the Queen Mother was nowhere to be seen in the court. In the past, the Queen Mother was the most diligent person, but now she didn't show up, and all the officials were talking about it.

Some people even speculated whether the queen mother had started to delegate power to the emperor, but Wan Mohong, who was also standing in the court hall, didn't think so.

It's just that the biggest helper has come, and the queen mother can take a breath, so she has nothing to fear.

Looking up, Wan Mosi was still yawning, not caring at all that everyone saw that he didn't get enough sleep.

Liu Zheng was calm and relaxed. Liu Jin stretched his neck and looked forward. It was because his rank was too low to see Liu Zheng standing in the front.

However, today the emperor is going to entrust him with an order, so Liu Jin heard his name being called within a short while of the court meeting.

So he walked out of the crowd, went up to the front and knelt down, and the emperor asked him to investigate the misappropriation of the disaster relief money. Although it was expected, Liu Jin still complied very seriously.

When he got up, he glanced at his grandfather, but to his disappointment, his grandfather didn't give him a look.

When he was in court, Liu Jin walked up to Liu Zheng and called "Grandpa". Liu Zheng looked at him and said, "This is the palace, why are there so many rules?"

Liu Jin turned pale and called "Master Prime Minister", Liu Zheng nodded: "The emperor entrusts you with this important task because of his trust in you."

"I understand." Liu Jin replied with his head down.

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, Liu Jin asked again: "Master Prime Minister, when can I go back to Liu's house?"

"Go back? You are the princess's husband-in-law now. She won't let you go. How can the Liu family let you go back?" Liu Zheng said with a sullen face. eat.

There are many descendants of the Liu family, without Liu Jin there are others, it is impossible for him to be taken out because of Liu Jin.

After hearing this, Liu Jin's complexion became even paler. He understood what grandpa meant. It turned out that he was really an abandoned son of the Liu family.

Liu Zheng didn't seem to intend to continue talking to him, so he left first, and Liu Jin looked dazed.

At this moment, Wan Mohong stepped forward and said, "Master Liu is not feeling well?"

Liu Jin came back to his senses, and looked at Wan Mohong with some vigilance. This man was the former third prince, a terrifying figure who was thrown into the dust by the Queen Mother and could still stand up.

"No problem, thank you for your concern." Liu Jin said and left quickly.

Wan Mohong smiled, since when did he become so scary, the frightened children dare not talk to him.

After standing for a while, Wan Moyan came over: "Third brother, can you go to my house and have a chat?"

"Let's go, fifth brother." Wan Mohong said.

The two came to Wan Moyan's official residence together. Wan Moyan is a very low-key person, very unobtrusive in the court, even this house looks very simple.

Chu Xiu was still camping in the city and did not come back. Wan Moyan brought Wan Mohong to the tea room. There used to be hidden stakes of the queen mother in the house, but now they have been cleared out one by one. Therefore, it is impossible to discuss important matters in the house.

"Third brother, those things have been shipped out." Wan Moyan said.

Wan Mohong nodded: "Did no one notice?"

Wan Moyan shook her head: "They were shipped out bit by bit. They belonged to Chu Xiu and the third brother, so there would be no problem."

"The more those things, the better. Now that Prince Anding has come to the capital, he seems to have brought [-] soldiers. If there is any conflict, the rest of his soldiers will definitely go to the capital with the wind and thunder." Wan Mohong looked serious.

Wan Moyan nodded: "However, the third elder brother told my grandfather to pay attention to the gold mine. It seems that there is some clue."

Wan Moyan's eyes flashed: "How?"

"Liu Zheng has indeed embezzled a gold mine, and it is very secretive. Those people are guarded by his soldiers, and there is no news at all, but something happened just two months ago." Wan Moyan said .

"What's the matter?" Wan Mohong asked.

It turned out that the mine exploded for some reason, and there was a rumor in a nearby village that gold was falling from the sky, but the village was slaughtered by bandits not long after.

The local county magistrate went to investigate and found nothing, but the murder was done neatly, and some gold was indeed stolen, but other jade and silver from before were still there, which was very strange.

In the end, the case was hastily settled. In order to keep Wu Shamao, the county magistrate here did not report it.

That's why Wan Moyan's attention was caught. He handed over the topographic trend map to his grandfather, who then sent someone to investigate on the spot. It was very likely that it was a gold mine.

Wan Mohong nodded: "Secret it first, don't startle the snake, this is the key to bring down Liu Zheng."

Former Ren Pingsheng told him that Liu Zheng's people used gold to bribe General Dacheng who camped in the city. The gold had no official seal and its origin was unknown, so Wan Mohong asked Wan Moyan to investigate.

Unexpectedly, they actually found out. Liu Zheng claimed that he had been a breeze all night, but everyone knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the court, and even reached his current position, it was impossible for him to have no money.

Talking about a gold mine is enough to shock the world. Today Zhou Kingdom only has a few gold mines mined by the government, and Liu Zhengzhen's family may already be as rich as an enemy country.

It's no wonder that this old man is above ten thousand people and still doesn't give up. Wan Mohong sees that he is not trying to support a puppet, but is preparing to proclaim himself emperor.

No matter how you think about it, a woman who can give birth to a woman like the queen mother Liu Ying will not be a person who is willing to surrender.

Wan Mohong also gave some instructions, and when he was leaving, he happened to bump into Chu Xiu.

"It's not time to go home, is it?" Wan Mohong looked at Chu Xiu and said.

Chu Xiu: "No, but the subordinates are busy coming back to accompany their families, so they can't wait until the last moment like the general did."

Wan Mohong sneered, and left without wanting to talk, Wan Moyan looked at Chu Xiu disapprovingly: "Why do you always talk about having trouble with third brother?"

"I can't get used to him." Chu Xiu said bluntly.

After speaking, she hugged Wan Moyan and walked into the room, Wan Moyan pushed him and said: "The third brother asked about the gold mine today."

"Why is he planning to snatch the gold mine?" Chu Xiu asked with interest.

Wan Moyan was speechless: "How is it possible? Putting that thing in your hand is a reminder."

"I think so, but if he really becomes the emperor, the mine will be his sooner or later." Chu Xiu said.

Wan Moyan thought so too, no wonder when the third brother left, he said that he would send someone to watch to see where the dug-out gold was transported. After thinking about it, he already felt that the gold mine would be in his pocket sooner or later.

While thinking, Chu Xiu had already tore off his belt, Wan Moyan grabbed him and said, "Why come back...you are too much."

Chu Xiu licked his canine teeth and said, "Did you forget what you promised me yesterday?"

Wan Moyan blushed immediately, and he said, "No matter what, I have to finish my meal."

Chu Xiu hugged him: "I've been thinking about it all day, and I don't want to wait for a moment, madam...Sister...just pity me."

Wan Moyan's heart had already softened, and the hand holding the clothes gradually loosened. Chu Xiu showed a triumphant smile, picked him up and walked inside.
