The reborn elder sister has gone crazy with killing, and there is a crying monster behind her

Capital

Thanks to the secret guards' quick work, the letter was delivered to Shen Qiuchi three days later.

After reading the contents of the letter, Shen Qiuchi smashed the table in anger, regardless of the other ministers in the palace, and then flew into a rage: "These local officials are really tired of living!"

Xiao Qi tugged at Shen Qiuchi's sleeve and carefully pulled the letter out of Shen Qiuchi's hand.

When he finished reading the content, he was so angry that he slammed the table!

Ouch...his hand is going to break...Ouch...

Isn’t this the same table as the one his wife took a picture of?

Then he looked at his wife's expressionless face!

Xiao Qi's face was filled with gloom, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This official from Linjing County is really so audacious, so hateful!"

Since he ascended the throne, his wife has used drastic measures to purge the court, and in the course of several years, she has replaced all important officials in various places with her own people.

For a time, people were in a panic, and the remaining officials either embezzled money or accepted bribes. Although they were also doing evil, at least they only did the same thing. Such things as taking human lives are rare nowadays!

The governor of Linjing County committed all kinds of evil, including burning, killing, looting and so on!

This really opened Xiao Qi's eyes, and at the same time he also realized more clearly that there are still many corrupt officials in the court!

"Where is Su Qimei now? Tell him to finish the things at hand and go to Linjing County! I must eradicate all those local parasites for me!" Xiao Qi was so angry that he was fuming, but he did not forget to gently stroke Shen Qiuchi's back to calm her down.

Anger is harmful to the body. What would happen if these parasites made his queen sick?

"Your Majesty, Queen, Lord Su has finished handling the affairs of Qingzhou City and is on his way back."

After hearing this, Xiao Qi said without hesitation: "Write him a letter and tell him that I have issued an order to let him go to Linjing County immediately to meet up with Princess Ningde. After that, he will follow the Princess and the others wherever they go. If there is any problem, just solve it directly."

This also saves Su Qimei from having to travel back and forth, wasting time.

"Yes, I obey your order."

The ministers observed a minute of silence for Su Qimei.

Poor Lord Su, he has been sent out as an imperial envoy and has done some work. I wonder where the princess will go. If she goes too far, it would be worse than exile!

"By the way, Liu Fu drafted an imperial decree. If he can do a good job in completing the tasks assigned by me this time, it will be considered a great achievement. I will reward him with an imperial plaque and a promise from me."

After hearing this, the ministers no longer felt that Su Qimei was miserable, and they even felt a little envious of Su Qimei.

The emperor's promise is worth a thousand gold!

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Mu's crime of treason has been delayed for a long time. I hope Your Majesty will convict Prime Minister Mu as soon as possible and eliminate the spy!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi and Shen Qiuchi's faces darkened.

Three days have passed since Prime Minister Mu was arrested, and these idiots are eager to remind them every quarter of an hour!

What, killing Prime Minister Mu would bring them great benefits? !

"This matter is still under investigation. The Queen and I have our own plans in mind, so please don't worry about it!"

Xiao Qi's tone was displeased, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was on the verge of a rage. A normal person wouldn't even have time to dodge, but there were those blind people who insisted on stepping forward and running into the trap!

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, there is irrefutable evidence that Prime Minister Mu is colluding with the enemy and committing treason. The Mu family is related to the royal family by blood. Your Majesty and Empress Dowager should handle this matter impartially and must not abuse their power for personal gain and disappoint the people!"

The minister said this with great confidence, and thought that other ministers would agree with him. However, he did not expect that others would lower their heads and collectively take a few steps back, exposing him in the hall.

"Oh? Minister Jiang, what you mean is that I have been delaying in sentencing Prime Minister Mu because I have been committing corruption and favoritism?" Xiao Qi stared at Jiang Huai dangerously.

The person who clamored to arrest Prime Minister Mu at that time was Jiang Huai, and he is also the one who is eager to execute Prime Minister Mu now.

This made Mu Yunzhou wonder if there was something wrong with Jiang Huai.

"I dare not. I am just afraid that if the emperor delays too long, it will make the people uneasy!" Jiang Huai said respectfully with his head lowered.

"Lord Jiang, you are worrying too much. Now the people outside are all crying out for justice for Prime Minister Mu. Please let me release Prime Minister Mu."

"Prime Minister Mu has made countless contributions to protecting Daliang. If we rashly convict him now, I'm afraid it will really chill the people. Moreover, this young master of the Mu family is with the princess to investigate local corrupt officials for me. We should wait until Young Master Mu and others come back before discussing this matter."

After saying this, Xiao Qi didn't want to listen to these useless guys anymore, so he waved his hand and took Shen Qiuchi back to Fengyi Palace.

Xiao Yanyun finally went to class and the government affairs were not too busy, so he was able to spend some time alone with Shen Qiuchi, but he was interrupted by this group of good-for-nothings again!

Shen Qiuchi returned to the palace, sat on a chair, closed his eyes tiredly, and pressed his eyebrows.

A few days ago, Prime Minister Mu's wife hosted a banquet for everyone to appreciate the newly blossomed winter plum blossoms. As a result, someone accidentally encountered the servant who burned the letters.

The servant was holding several letters between Prime Minister Mu and the enemy country.

Jiang Huai was also present at the time and immediately had Prime Minister Mu arrested and all his family members placed under house arrest in the Mu Mansion.

Before we finished our work here, news came that Shen Qingxu had been assassinated.

It seems that those people knew that the Thousand Machines Technique was in her hands and they couldn't hold back anymore!

A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Qiuchi's eyes.

Dare to touch her only sister! It's really courting death!

"Is Yanyun back?" Shen Qiuchi looked towards the door and asked Xiao Qi who was massaging his shoulders behind him.

"Not yet. I guess he won't be back until the evening." Xiao Qi picked up Shen Qiuchi from the chair, then sat on the chair himself and let Shen Qiuchi sit on his lap.

He buried his head in the crook of Shen Qiuchi's neck and patted her back gently.

"Leave Qingxu's matter to your husband. I will have people look for the hideout of those people and catch them all. I will never let her get hurt in the slightest. I promise that you, Qingxu, and Yanyun will be fine. You are the only ones around me!"

"It is estimated that there are more than one group of forces. They are coming for the Thousand Machine Skills."

"Don't worry, the palace is heavily guarded. Even if they have great abilities, they can't take it away!"

Shen Qiuchi nodded. She was not worried that the Thousand Machine Techniques would be stolen.

She was worried about all the people in Daliang.

Over the years, she has used the Thousand Machine Secrets to create important mechanical devices that benefit the country and the people, vigorously developed the military, education, economy, and medical care, and made Daliang the most powerful empire.

But at the same time, Daliang has become a thorn in everyone's side.

Rumor has it that whoever masters the Thousand Machines Secret will rule the world.

They couldn't do anything to Daliang, so they wanted to start with Qianji Jue.

Shen Qiuchi has been observing their movements over the years, but she never expected that they could act secretly under her surveillance.

She really underestimated them!

"By the way, how's your investigation going on with the identities of Lin Yao and Lin Tiao that I asked you to investigate?" In this world, the only person who dares to ask the emperor to investigate something is Shen Qiuchi.

"We have found out. Lin Yao's real name is Ximen Yao. She is the princess of a small country called Yue Kingdom which has been destroyed for who knows how many years."

"That Lin Tiao is a maid she picked up on the road."

"Their goal is to get the Imperial City Order from Qingxu and the others, and then work together to steal the Thousand Machine Skills and recover the Moon Kingdom."

Shen Qiuchi nodded in response, patted Xiao Qi's head, and came up with a plan in mind.
