Shocked! After planting, a sickly and charming first assistant will grow up.

Lu Xiao felt that leaving his eldest son alive was his last gift as a father. As for the deep meaning in his wife's smile, he didn't want to think too much about it.

Jiang Keyuan's most powerful secret guard had died at the hands of Luo Xi and Lu Yunjin, and she had probably guessed it.

I went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone to ask my father to borrow some people, but I saw my father who was ten years older with a "full head" look on his face.

Scared, he asked what happened.

I heard that the gold mine in Pinglan Mountain was discovered and destroyed, and none of the five hundred soldiers survived. The news spread, and Jiang Keyuan turned pale...

"What should we do, father? The news will not reach His Majesty's ears, right?"

"I guess the emperor already knows." Jiang Dong sneered, "Our Majesty... is very capable. He knows exactly where an evil wind blows."

"Does your Majesty blame you?" Jiang Keyuan asked tentatively. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Which house does not have some pickled fish? If we really want to get to the bottom of it, I am afraid that not even one out of ten officials in the court will survive.

Private gold mining can be large or small, it all depends on the emperor's decision.

Jiang Dong shook his head. This was what he was worried about. The emperor blamed him even if he was punished, but what he was afraid of was that he was as calm as he is now.

Based on his understanding of the emperor, he was not in a hurry to punish him, maybe he was holding back.

Among them, Jiang Dong didn't want to tell his daughter, so he just asked: "What happened to you in such a hurry to find the truth?"

Jiang Keyuan didn't want to cause any more trouble to her father, but when he asked, she told him exactly what she heard from Lu Jinhua.

Jiang Dongdao was very interested. He didn't expect that an ordinary farmer would have such a kind of mentality. What a pity! It cannot be used for one's own purposes.

He suddenly thought of something and asked: "I remember that you sent Lu Xiao's youngest son to the mine, but to Pinglan Mountain?"

"Yes...yes!" Jiang Keyuan stumbled, not understanding why her father's face suddenly turned so ugly.

"When I returned to Beijing with Lu Xiao to worship my ancestors, I accidentally dumped his little bastard in Pinglan Mountain on the way. Is there any problem?"

Jiang Dong's expression was filled with dark clouds, and his hands were trembling slightly, "I'm asking you, is it possible for the boy's legs that were crippled by you to recover?"

"No!" Jiang Keyuan shook her head firmly, "You know Agui's methods. He will never give the little bastard any chance to recover."

But Jiang Dong still doubted that such a coincidence could happen. Since Lu Yunjin had taken action against his biological father, he would never disregard the lives of his siblings.

If you want to rescue your brother, you must go to Pinglan Mountain, so it is not surprising that the mine is discovered and destroyed.

But...how could he, a peasant boy, have such great strength?

He sent a total of five hundred elite soldiers and a powerful man with peak internal strength to garrison the area.

Even if it was unbelievable, he still remained skeptical, but...how did Lu Yunjin know that his brother was in Pinglan Mountain?

Jiang Dong suddenly raised his head, "Where's Agui?"

Agui is the secret guard next to Jiang Keyuan who was sent to eliminate Lu Yunjin.

Although Jiang Keyuan is not as smart as her father, she is not stupid either. When Jiang Dong asked this question, she quickly understood that Agui might have been captured alive and revealed the location of the mine.

His face couldn't help but turn paler for a moment, and he looked at his father in panic, with veins popping out, "Agui... was... was sent by me to deal with the little bastard."

"Bastard!" Jiang Dong furiously slapped Jiang Keyuan on the face.

The emotions in his eyes were ever-changing, and he wondered why Jiang Dong, who was famous all his life, would give birth to such a cruel and stupid poisonous woman.

The minds of literati are destined to far exceed those of military generals!

For things that Lu Xiao couldn't understand, as long as he gave Jiang Dong some information, he could perfectly connect and restore the facts.

Lu Yunjin sent the best ones to Beijing in order to lure Jiang Keyuan into action so that he could capture the people around her alive and find out the whereabouts of her siblings and rescue them.

"Haha! Hahaha!" Jiang Dongyi's eyes were as deep as ink, and his laughter was hoarse and unpleasant. "Thankfully, I, the prime minister of a country, was teased and applauded by a young boy, and I only found out after the incident."

To confirm his suspicion, he locked Jiang Keyuan in the woodshed and went to the Ministry of Rites in person.

When he arrived, the Minister of Rites was directing his subordinates to be busy.

When he saw the visitor, the Minister of Rites personally came to greet him and said, "Why do you, Prime Minister, have time to come to Xiaguan today?"

Jiang Dong nodded, "Have you sent in the list of candidates who were shortlisted for Jinke from all over the country? Let's see if there are any good candidates."

It’s a lie to find a good seed. If you want to know whether Lu Yunjin’s legs have recovered, the fastest way is to find it from this Enke list.

He knew something about the boy named Lu. He had a very smart mind and had a photographic memory.

Once again, it is a pity that such a young man with abundant mental resources cannot use it for himself!

After hearing Jiang Dong's intention, the Minister of Rites understood it. Every time Enke, various forces would come to him to ask for a list to attract talents for the family.

He thought the Prime Minister meant the same thing.

I apologized and smiled: "Look, you are a little late. His Majesty has just issued an order to seal the document and prevent the list of the deceased from being leaked."

Jiang Dong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rubbed his index finger and thumb back and forth under his sleeve, "I haven't heard about what happened in the early morning."

"Just now." The Minister of Rites took out a brocade box behind him to prove that he was not lying. "Look, the imperial edict is still warm. My father-in-law has just left."

Of course, he did not open the imperial edict to Jiang Dong. Although it was not a secret edict, he would not cause more trouble for himself.

Jiang Dong lowered his eyebrows. The emperor always turned a blind eye to various companies recruiting talents before the audition and didn't bother to pay attention.

Why was the volume closed so suddenly?

Who is the emperor protecting?

Could it be Lu Yunjin?

It's not impossible. With that kid's ability, if he didn't have this kind of relationship, he would definitely win over him. It's not surprising that the emperor values ​​him and protects him.

If he had the support of the emperor, it would not be surprising that a peasant like him could disturb the peace of the Lu family and destroy his gold mine in Pinglan Mountain.

Jiang Dong felt cold all over. Could it be that the emperor wanted to use the boy named Lu to bring him down?

He thought a lot in one moment.

When I returned to the mansion, my hands and feet were cold.

He took Jiang Keyuan out and interrogated her carefully again, and then sat alone for a long time. Finally, he took out the facial token from a secret compartment in the study and threw it to the secret guard.

"Go! Go tell that person and help him kill Lu Yunjin, and the past life-saving grace will be wiped out."

A breeze blew by, and the silent guard caught the dark token and then disappeared silently.

In the Hou Mansion, Luo Xi took the blame for Lu Yunjin.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Yunjin took the blame for Luo Xi again.

It should be said that smart people all have a common problem, that is, they tend to think too much!

"..."

Imperial Study Room——

After hearing the report from the Minister of Rites, the emperor looked calm and showed no emotion, and waved his hand to let people go.

As soon as they left, the calmness on the emperor's face completely disappeared. He placed the memorial above Laixi's head and whispered, "Where is the Dragon Guard?"

Laixi: "???"

In the blink of an eye, a shit-yellow figure knelt on one knee in front of the imperial court and said, "The leader of the Dragon Guard is here to pay homage to Your Majesty."

The emperor took a few deep breaths, narrowed his fox eyes, and said, "Go and lead a team of people to protect my little cotton-padded jacket, so that you can see me without a hair on my head."

That damn old bastard, half-buried old thing... dares to covet his treasure, he's looking for death!

Jiang Dong: "???"
