Shenhao: The little widow became the richest woman in Beijing

Gu Yuhong's eyes were indifferent, "Didn't you ask me to think of the simplest way to get His Majesty's approval? This is the fastest way!"

"But what's the benefit of letting him go? It took a lot of effort to make my father lose his respect for him."

"Even if you don't plead for mercy, the third prince will be released sooner or later. Your Majesty will not keep him trapped in the palace forever. Your plea for mercy not only gives His Majesty a step down, but also leaves an impression of your kindness and kindness in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty Naturally, I hope you are brothers and sisters, and I will naturally praise you."

"And the Third Prince has lost His Majesty's heart after this incident. He will naturally act cautiously in the future. He may not dare to go against you in the future. He may even be grateful to you, which will naturally be of some benefit to you."

"Waiting for him to be released from the ban by His Majesty in the future, wouldn't you miss the opportunity to be praised by His Majesty?"

"What you said seems to make some sense." The second prince lowered his eyes and thought carefully.

Gu Yuhong glanced at the prince across from him indifferently, "This is just an idea you asked me to make. I just said it casually. What I said may not be right. Your Highness, you can decide for yourself whether to do it or not."

The second prince nodded, "Of course! After so many years of friendship between you and me, I naturally know that you are doing it for my own good, and I will weigh it carefully."

Gu Yuhong silently looked at the tea leaves hidden in the water in the tea bowl without speaking.

evening,

Gu Yuhong walked into a study room in a house. The man beside the desk looked up at the person who came in, but ignored him and continued to look down at the military book in his hand.

Gu Yuhong calmly walked to a chair opposite and sat down, "I told your second brother that he would probably do it due to his temperament, but I don't understand. It's not that you have a grudge against the third prince, and he was the one who assassinated him before. You, why did you incite the second prince to release him? "

Zhou Xuanyin's eyes were deep and he did not raise his head, "A tiger will always be safe if it is trapped in a cage. If you let it out and fight another tiger, it will die faster."

"With the temperament of the third child, he will not thank the second child. Instead, he will think that his legitimate son is so noble. Why should he lose? He will only fight with the second child more fiercely next time."

"Then why don't you plead for mercy in person and let the second brother go? What if the two of them join forces to deal with you first?"

Zhou Xuanyin's eyes sarcastically said, "The two of them are each other's biggest rivals and cannot unite. Even if my strength is revealed, it will only cause them to watch me more cautiously. At present, if one of them is the same If I lose my strength by fighting, I will have no capital to fight with another person."

"Have you found out who is targeting this king?"

"I'm still investigating, but I only found one person who spread the news, but the other person was very tough. When he was caught, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." Gu Yuhong frowned and said.

Zhou Xuanyin's eyes pondered. This was not something the second or third child would do. Rather, it seemed like he wanted to bring himself to the surface, let the three of them compete with each other, make others notice him, and muddy the waters.

Could it be that this person secretly wants to overturn the country? Compared with the second and third sons, it seems that this person is deeper. Could it be that he was also responsible for the chaos in Jinzhou and Yuzhou?

He raised his eyes to look at the Prime Minister opposite and ordered, "Continue to investigate."

"Okay." Gu Yuhong looked at the man at the table with gentle eyes. He and his father had made different choices. Since the man in front of him saved his life when he was young, he has been following him for several years.

On Bai Xueru's side, she was looking at the various crimes that Yan Chuming had previously investigated against the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, including money-grabbing, embezzlement, and bribery. The time and place of the witnesses and physical evidence were clearly recorded in all aspects.

Bai Xueru raised her eyes and looked at Yan Chuming with praise, "Your dark forces did a good job, and the investigation was quite detailed. I didn't expect you to have such ability."

After using the ointment Bai Xueru gave him last time, the severe scars on Yan Chuming's face now look a bit lighter and no longer seem as ferocious as before.

"Now that you've done it, naturally do your best."

Bai Xueru nodded, "Not bad."

He lowered his head and looked at the paper in his hand with a deep look in his eyes. Since the Minister of Household Affairs sent someone to assassinate him because of his daughter's affairs, he would naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.

How about giving him a gift in return, falling from a height, and going to jail?

"Put this letter anonymously in the study of the capital government office. If the Yin government office is trying to cover it up, it will place the charges against Yin government office in the censor's study room."

Yan Chuming glanced at the beautiful woman opposite and said, "Yes."

I thought that she was a businesswoman, and she had asked me to collect the crimes and personalities of various court officials in order to better make friends with the powerful, but I never thought that she would be used here first.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was so blind that he provoked her. Just one of the poisons she gave him to develop the Poison Medicine Pavilion could cause him to die silently.

Now, just to expose the crimes he committed, I feel a little too merciful.

Yan Chuming's eyes were stern, lowered in thought, like a wolf waiting to bite its prey.

Bai Xueru glanced sideways at the man, thinking of the poison on the blade when the Minister of the Ministry of Finance sent someone to assassinate her. Indeed, it was just that going to jail was too cheap for him, and she had to return the poison on Xue Qing.

After pondering, he said, "Give him the poison of Heartbroken Prison after he has the chance to bribe someone, and wait until he is imprisoned."

Yan Chuming's eyes moved slightly. Sure enough, how could a person who could develop those extremely poisonous people be kind? He really was overthinking it.

The poison she was talking about was colorless and tasteless. No abnormality could be detected in the pulse, and it would not cause death. However, it was more terrifying than death. It was like going crazy. The liver and intestines were severed. Every acupuncture point was like a long needle piercing it, and the blood in the body was flowing day by day. Rolling pain.

But there is another hour of pause every day, which seems to give people hope, and then the torture continues over and over again, day after day, it is like living in hell.

Bai Xueru curled her lips, are you cruel? His daughter killed him, and he had already given her a chance. Considering that she was a woman, he did not take her life. However, after a small punishment, her father took action against him again. Who was to blame?

There was a coldness on Bai Xueru's lips, "If you spread this crime and let the people know that a lot of the Ding tax you paid was put into your pocket by the Minister of Household Affairs, doesn't Zhong Yingrong insist on her status as a noblewoman? Then From now on, you can enjoy the endless rebuke that comes with your status. It would be boring to just kill her."

Yan Chuming's thin lips moved slightly. If he was no longer with her in the future, he would definitely not be her enemy.

Three days later, the news about the Minister of the Ministry of Finance spread a lot, and the imperial censor presented a statement to His Majesty and denounced him as a worm in the court.

The Minister of Hubu was originally a party of the second prince, but after the second prince asked for verification to avoid unjustly accusing important ministers, the imperial censor presented the evidence with conclusive evidence, and the second prince did not dare to intercede for the Minister of Hubu in the court, which made his father unhappy again and again. , otherwise I would have thought that the money had gone into my own pocket.

He did get some money from the Minister of Household Affairs who paid tribute to him, but the amount was completely different from the amount recorded above. He actually withheld so much without permission. He deserved to die for being so greedy.

For a moment, everyone kicked the wall down, and the three princes took the opportunity to add insult to injury. Five days later, the matter was verified, and the Minister of Household Affairs was confiscated and imprisoned, and he was to be executed at a later date.

Even his son, who worked as a guard in front of the emperor, was demoted.
