Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 530 A cannon fodder official disguised as a man 10

*

"Eunuch Li, this is what happened. I hope you don't misunderstand me."

Yun Wu, who was already neatly dressed and ready, looked like a handsome and fair young man. She had just told Li Zhong the whole story.

"Don't worry, Master Yun. I didn't misunderstand you, and no one else knows about this."

Li Zhong said in a low voice, then looked around again, and seeing that there was no one around, he moved closer and continued:

"I understand..."

He gave Yun Wu a reassuring look, then patted his chest.

For some reason, Yun Wu always felt that Eunuch Li Zhong seemed to have misunderstood something, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

At this moment, Xie Ling's cold voice suddenly came from behind.

"Xiao Wu, it's time to go."

These days, Xie Ling would sometimes call himself "I" and address her as "My dear", and sometimes call her "Xiao Wu". Yun Wu had gotten used to it.

Just...walk? Where are they going?

Yun Wu turned around and saw Xie Ling's tall and slender figure. His face was cold and when he raised his chin slightly, his imperial majesty was undoubtedly revealed.

"It's time to go to the governor's mansion to arrest him."

It turns out that they were not doing nothing during the past few days in Xuanzhou City.

First of all, Yun Wu had been exchanging letters with the officials in the court who were in charge of the salt transportation business, but the capital had not yet received the report on the salt transportation submitted by Governor Qian.

This shows that Governor Qian wanted to do the salt transportation business without telling the court, and it doesn't seem like this is the first time he has done this.

In addition, when Fu Chuannan and others were lurking in the government office for inspection, they discovered that the government office appeared to be clean on the surface, but was actually extremely corrupt inside.

But their monthly salary is also that amount, so where does the money come from to fill their pockets?

It is easy to imagine why the military pay allocated by the court to the military camp in Xuanzhou City was depleted so quickly. The reason has probably been found.

Inside the prefect's mansion, Prefect Qian, who knew nothing yet, thought he was going to make a fortune soon.

He and Xie Ling were discussing the salt transportation matter in secret. Of course, he would say that he had reported the matter to the court.

As a result, the next second, Governor Qian was surrounded by two teams of guards who suddenly pushed open the door and broke in.

Fu Chuannan, Yun Wu and Li Zhong also walked in.

The expression on Governor Qian's face was a little stiff, and he looked at Xie Ling hesitantly.

Xie Ling had a tall and slender figure, holding a folding fan in his hand and waving it gently from time to time, with no unnecessary expression on his cold face.

Looking at this situation, Governor Qian raised his trembling hand and pointed at Xie Ling, saying:

"Who are you? You should know that leading soldiers to trespass into my residence is a serious crime!"

"How dare you! How dare you disrespect His Majesty!"

Li Zhong's sharp voice rang out, and with a whisk hanging in the crook of his arm, he walked quickly forward and slapped Governor Qian twice in the face.

Governor Qian's head was buzzing from being slapped, and he did not hear clearly what Li Zhong said: Xie Ling was the current emperor.

Li Zhong kicked his knee and he fell to the ground as his legs went limp. He staggered and raised his head, just in time to see Yun Wu beside Xie Ling.

Governor Qian said viciously:

"What do you mean good friends doing business together? I think you, a pretty boy, and he are clearly trying to murder an official of the imperial court - Ouch!"

Li Zhong sat directly on the back of Governor Qian, and Governor Qian fell to the ground.

"How dare you! What pretty boy? This is the emperor——"

He almost blurted out "Empress" subconsciously, but he took it back and changed his words:

"Lord Yun!"

Oh no, oh no, I ran into his Majesty and Lord Yun this morning... Oh no, I kept thinking about it in my mind, and I almost got exposed.

Li Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and retreated behind Yun Wu with his whisk in his arms, feeling guilty.

Xie Ling's dark and cold eyes turned towards Yun Wu, and he asked in a deep voice:

"My dear Lord Yun, in your opinion, how should we deal with him now?"

Yun Wu knew that His Majesty wanted to test her familiarity with the court laws. She calmly bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of our dynasty, Governor Qian withheld military pay, concealed the salt transportation, and allowed his subordinates to embezzle money. Each of these is punishable by death."

Yun Wu said this seriously, and Xie Ling also looked at her seriously. She also looked more serious and continued:

"I think we should first escort Governor Qian back to the capital, and wait for the Ministry of Justice to find out his crime. The money he embezzled is definitely not in the governor's mansion, so we need to find out where he hid the remaining military pay."

"Well, my dear, what you said makes sense."

Xie Ling clenched his fist and pretended to cough twice, but in fact, he was thinking as he looked at Yun Wu...

Awu's hat is a little crooked today, she looks so cute.

Awu has been looking at me today. It must be because of my heroic figure when I drove away the evil spirit for her last night that she admired me. Humph... Can Fu Chuannan compare to me?

Hmm, Ah Wu's voice is really nice, and her body smells good. I want to...

In the end, Governor Qian and his subordinates were arrested, and Xie Ling and others had to return to the capital.

This time, Yun Wu prepared a carriage for herself in advance, so she didn't have to trouble others and didn't have to ride a horse or walk.

But when she was about to get on the carriage, she was stopped by Li Zhong.

"Lord Yun, His Majesty wants you to go over and ride in his carriage."

Although Yun Wu felt confused, she couldn't refuse the emperor's words.

So on the way back, she still rode in Xie Ling's carriage.

Because of what happened that night, Yun Wu felt a little embarrassed when she got on the carriage and saw Xie Ling. She could only lower her head and bow.

"Wei Chen has met your Majesty."

"No need to be polite, Xiao Wu. Please sit down."

When Xie Ling's clear and pleasant voice came, Yun Wu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she didn't have to hide her identity now, and Xie Ling still called her "Xiao Wu".

Thinking of Li Zhong's strange reaction, Yun Wu had a bold guess in her mind.

Your Majesty, he, he, he, could it be that he likes... What a sin, she is a girl, no no no...

Yun Wu was lost in thought all the way back to Beijing, but after thinking for a long time she still couldn't figure it out.

After returning to his own residence, he planned to pretend to be sick and not go to the Hanlin Academy for a few days, so as to avoid His Majesty.

As a result, the next day's morning court was held to discuss the incident of the prefect of Xuanzhou City, so Yun Wu didn't get the leave she had pretended to be sick and had to rush to attend the morning court.

Fortunately, she was not in a high position and was small in stature. She was inconspicuous hiding behind a group of officials with her head lowered. She couldn't even see Xie Ling's face above her.

Just after Yun Wu heard the voice of "dismissing the court", she was about to leave with other ministers.

Suddenly, the young emperor's voice floated from the high platform:

"My dear Yun, please stay. I have something important to discuss with you."
