No wonder Wu Lin was so surprised.

You have to know that the Ministry of Revenue holds the economic lifeline of a country.

It's really ironic that such an important position is occupied by such a greedy person.

Rong Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at the anger in Wu Lin's eyes, and comforted him: "Just sit down and don't worry."

"This time, the Lu family is about to suffer. Don't follow Lu Anfei these days. Help me find out the whereabouts of the Lu family."

"Mrs. Lu?" Wu Lin sat back in his chair after hearing what Rong Sheng said and asked in surprise, "Why? Is she also related to these silver dollars?"

"She is Lu Anfei's sister, so she is naturally involved."

Rong Sheng felt his mouth dry, and took another sip of water, saying, "It's just that now she is determined to use her connections to save Rong Jin, and she has been running to places like brothels and teahouses these days."

Wu Lin was surprised when he heard this: "Hey, why would a woman go to a brothel?"

"After the birthday banquet at Wanjing Mountain, Rong Dexin and Lu were discussing how to rescue Rong Jin from the Ministry of Justice by exchanging people." Rong Sheng said in a deep voice, "So I guess she must be looking for a woman who looks similar to Rong Jin and is of similar age."

"Women who live in places like brothels and teahouses are all helpless slaves. Even if they die, no one will care about them. They are just perfect to be scapegoats."

"Humph, changing the death row inmates?" Wu Lin's tone was even more sarcastic. "Only despicable people like Rong Dexin and the Lu family would come up with such a way to take human lives. After all, these women are still alive."

"But, Major General." Wu Lin changed the subject and asked with a frown, "If the death row prisoner is discovered, then the Rongguo Marquisate will be finished, right?"

"That's why I want you to keep an eye on the Lu family," Rong Sheng quickly put down his teacup when he heard Wu Lin finally got to the point. "The most important thing now is to find out the hiding place of the woman that the Lu family found. This woman is the fuse that caused the collapse of the Marquis' Mansion. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see."

Wu Lin nodded in sudden realization, thinking that a major general is a major general and he always thinks ahead of him.

Rong Sheng drank the last bit of tea, looked at Wu Lin who was deep in thought and said, "I have to go to the Ministry of Revenue today to find a way to rescue Prince Ming and my master. I don't think I will have time to come to you in the next few days."

As he spoke, Rong Sheng took out all the silver from his purse and put it on the table, saying, "This is twenty taels. You won't make much money from the opening of this tavern. When the Lu family falls, I will gather people to manage Princess Qingya's shops, and you won't have to stay here in this small restaurant."

"Major General, I..." When Wu Lin saw the silver on the table, his voice began to choke as usual, and then he burst into tears.

Rong Sheng was very familiar with this. A trace of panic flashed through her heart, and she quickly stood up and said, "Wait until I get out before you cry."

Immediately, she walked to the door in two steps, as if she remembered something, and said without looking back: "If you encounter any accidents, report them to me in time, don't hold it on your own."

Before he finished his words, Rong Sheng rushed out of the tavern.

She walked to the end of West Street without taking a breath, and stopped only when she could no longer see the pub sign.

"He really can't change his crying habit at all." After wiping the sweat off his face, Rong Sheng looked at the position of the sun, then hurried anxiously towards the Ministry of Revenue in the direction of the imperial city.

In less than half an hour, Rong Sheng saw the carriage of Prince Ming's palace.

And Lu Yue, who was pacing back and forth beside the carriage just like he did yesterday.

"Lu Yue, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yue immediately turned around and saw Rong Sheng dressed as a little guard. He couldn't help but grin, "Princess, I didn't expect that you look so handsome in your little guard costume. If a young lady saw you, she might fall in love with you."

"Don't tease me." Rong Sheng said with a frown on the surface, but he didn't care in his heart.

During this period of time, Rong Sheng felt that he and Lu Yue were as relaxed as brothers, just like when he once joked with a group of soldiers in the military camp. There was a kind of cordial and familiar feeling.

"Then Princess, I am your boss in today's play?"

"Of course. Today I have to rely on Master Lu to help me."

Rong Sheng responded with a half-smile, turned around and took out a piece of paper from his bosom and presented it to Lu Yue: "This is what you will say later. Also, Lu Anfei will definitely change the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue that are already in deficit. It depends on Zhou Xu's attitude. We must act according to the situation."

Lu Yue read the "play script" written by Rong Sheng at a glance, and took in Rong Sheng's instructions one by one.

After a moment, he put away the paper and replied, "Okay, my lord. I've got it all down."

"So fast?"

"Of course. After all, I have followed His Majesty the King Ming since I was a child, so my memory is certainly not bad."

"Uh......"

Rong Sheng glanced at Lu Yue's proud face and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

She blinked and quickly changed the subject: "Lu Yue, it's getting late. I am your follower now. When you go in later, follow my instructions and don't panic."

"Oh, I understand, Princess."

After hearing this, Lu Yue lowered his head and responded quickly.

The two of them exchanged words for a long time before they walked towards the Ministry of Revenue with peace of mind.

They took a side door to avoid running into Lu Anfei.

But as soon as Lu Yue stepped in, he bumped into someone coming towards him.

"hiss--"

Although Lu Anfei was tall, he was still a little thin. When he was hit by Lu Yue's strong body, his chest shook three times.

He covered his chest and looked at the person in front of him and said angrily: "Where did this person who doesn't know the rules come from? How can he be so reckless!"

Lu Yue's arm was also hurt by the collision. He looked up when he heard the sound and saw that the man was wearing a crimson official uniform and an official hat. With his sharp eyes, he recognized his identity immediately.

"It turns out to be Lord Lu. I am so disrespectful!" Lu Yue respectfully bowed to Lu Anfei. Rong Sheng behind him had already noticed something was wrong, so she quickly followed Lu Yue and bowed to salute.

Seeing that Lu Yue was quite polite, Lu Anfei's anger subsided a little: "Whose guard are you, and what do you want here?"

"My Lord Lu, I am a guard of the Zhou family. Lord Zhou sent me here to take care of some household chores."

Hearing that it was the Zhou family, Lu Anfei relaxed his vigilance a little and ordered in a deep voice: "This is the Ministry of Revenue, an important place in the imperial city. You can't stay here for long. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will bear this in mind and send you off respectfully, Lord Lu."

Lu Yue and Rong Sheng never straightened their backs the whole time, their bodies spinning with Lu Anfei, until he walked away, then they straightened up.

"It's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road." Rong Sheng rubbed his aching waist and looked at Lu Anfei's gradually blurred back with a cold expression.

"You can be proud for a few more days, and then I will make your Lu family cry and die."
