Chapter 138 Prime Minister's Mansion

Knowing Chu Yundong's past, Zhao Longyuan also began to look for the other party's position in the capital.

The prime minister's mansion was very conspicuous, and after a little inquiring, he found his target.

It was dark at night, but the house was brightly lit inside and outside, as bright as day.

Many red lanterns hung there, coupled with the high red courtyard walls, show the specialness of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Officials and businessmen at all levels kept coming to see Chu Yundong.

They come in and out like a revolving lantern.

Most of the people couldn't even see Chu Yundong, so they could only put down their presents and leave.

Chu Yundong is a very "rule" person, he will help whoever gives a gift that suits him more.

Therefore, countless people give gifts in vain.

There are also people who give money directly, but for Chu Yundong, he will not want such an obvious benefit, and will let his subordinates directly drive out the person who gave the money, and let him exchange it for a gift of corresponding value. come over.

Zhao Longyuan only stood outside for a short while, and had already seen more than a dozen officials coming in and out, and had to sigh at the high status of the other party.

The system prompts: "A new spy mission has been started."

Mission objective: sneak into the prime minister's mansion and let Chu Yundong cooperate with him.

Task reward: [Autumn Water Swordsmanship] upgraded to proficiency level.

Zhao Longyuan also said to Cao Lingyu beside him: "Miss Cao, this prime minister's mansion is really amazing."

Cao Lingyu showed a bright smile: "Yes, let's go in and see what Chu Yundong looks like."

After saying that, the two used Qinggong to jump over the high wall and enter the house.

In addition to the endless stream of guests in the house, there are also many patrolling officials.

[Consonant fingering! 】Zhao Longyuan made a vertical leap, jumped behind some officials, stretched out two fingers of his right hand, tapped the opponent's acupoints through the void, and dragged him to a hidden place with [Dragon Capture Skill], took off the clothes of the officials, put them on On the body.

Then, he used the [Disguise Technique] to change himself and Cao Lingyu into the appearance of official servants.

After changing their identities, the two also began to move freely in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I saw a middle-aged man sitting in the main hall, welcoming officials at all levels with a smile on his face.

He is not fat, with a neat beard, and the official uniform on his body is even brighter.

He is Chu Yundong, Prime Minister of Donghua Kingdom.

He was tired of the officials in front of him a long time ago, but when he thought of being able to collect money and save face, Chu Yundong's mood improved a lot.

However, as the night darkened, Chu Yundong also became tired and yawned.

He was originally a scholar, and his body was not strong. Coupled with his long-term life of rich clothes and good food, he couldn't stand the toss for a long time.

Therefore, Chu Yundong issued an order to expel the guests.

Officials and businessmen who did not have time to greet him were kicked out and will come back tomorrow.

The gate of the prime minister's mansion was also closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter.

Chu Yundong sighed: "It's really boring, how many silver gifts did we accept today?"

The housekeeper next to him cupped his hands and said, "Report to the master, a total of 700 taels has been collected."

Chu Yundong smiled and said: "700 taels, it seems that they all know about my daughter marrying the emperor."

Butler: "Yes, master, once the eldest lady becomes the queen, the status of the master will be higher, and the relationship with the queen mother will be even closer."

Chu Yundong nodded: "I know this, but the queen mother is just using my daughter to benefit herself, but that's fine, as long as I have money, even if I give the queen mother the saddle, I'm willing."

Steward: "Yes, sir, this kind of thing is of great benefit to us, and it is worth doing."

Chu Yundong changed the subject: "Your Majesty, do you want to marry my daughter?"

Steward: "From the news from the palace, the emperor is not too happy, but he has no objection either."

Chu Yundong: "Hmph, counting on his wit, if he offends the empress dowager, he will lose his throne."

Butler: "Master, we also have to be careful, we don't let the Queen Mother find out about our problems."

Chu Yundong asked back: "You mean the money we took from taxes? Hehe, the queen mother won't know, so don't worry."

Butler: "Then the old slave will not say anything."

Chu Yundong nodded: "Okay, help me to rest."

With that said, the butler supported Chu Yundong and walked slowly towards the room.

Along the way, Chu Yundong's face was full of pride, imagining his life after becoming the head of the country.

Zhao Longyuan followed behind without saying a word.

From Chu Yundong's words, he had already guessed the selfishness of the prime minister.

That is, in addition to accepting bribes, Chu Yundong also took advantage of the annual taxes of the imperial court.

This benefit is obviously more than the money collected.

This is also Chu Yundong's way of making money, but it obviously touched the interests of the Queen Mother.

Therefore, if the queen mother knew about this matter, the queen mother would definitely be furious and remove Chu Yundong from the position of prime minister and let someone else be the prime minister.

For the queen mother, this matter is easy.

This is Chu Yundong's weakness.

After thinking about this level, Zhao Longyuan performed lightness kung fu and jumped in from the window after Chu Yundong entered his room.

Before Chu Yundong could react, he tapped the opponent's acupuncture points.

The prime minister then fell into a coma.

Zhao Longyuan helped him to the couch, and began to search around in Chu Yundong's room.

There are countless drawers and cabinets here.

Almost every location is locked.

But Zhao Longyuan also found the key from Chu Yundong's body, and opened these locks one after another.

I saw that there were all kinds of ledgers and lists in it, and there were many types and a huge number.

It took Zhao Longyuan a lot of time before he and Cao Lingyu found the evidence of Chu Yundong obtaining taxes privately and the letters he had privately communicated with officials from various places.

He also walked in front of Chu Yundong and unlocked the other's acupuncture points.

Chu Yundong woke up slowly, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "What are you doing in my room?"

Zhao Longyuan didn't say much, but pulled out the [Jasper Sword] and put it on Chu Yundong's neck.

Chu Yundong's face was pale, and he hurriedly said: "If you have something to say, if you want money, I will give it to you. If you want to be an official, I will give it to you."

Zhao Longyuan smiled: "Lord Chu, take a look at this."

As he spoke, he took out tax evidence and letters with his left hand for the other party to watch.

Chu Yundong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party: "You, you want to blackmail me?"

Zhao Longyuan: "That's right, Master Chu, you have always valued your own interests, so you won't let go of the position of Prime Minister, will you?"

Chu Yundong: "Of course, I am the prime minister who took great pains."

Zhao Longyuan: "That's good, Master Chu, I want you to do me a favor."

Chu Yundong hurriedly agreed: "Just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Zhao Longyuan: "Lord Chu, I hope you will help the emperor and deal with the queen mother."
