Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Emperor Dalong's face trembled slightly.

In fact, Qin Yanwei had never taken the exam. He was directly appointed to the Ministry of Revenue. At first, he was just a low-level official. He took the effort to get him in only because he happened to have a favorite concubine at that time. So in order to please her, he agreed to let her place his brother in the palace.

As for how he later got the position of Director of the Ministry of Finance, it was all due to Qin Yanwei's own abilities.

He didn't know that his casual action at the beginning was actually "raising a tiger to harm himself", but Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge caught the man and found out that he had embezzled the national treasury, which was a blessing in disguise for him.

Seeing that Emperor Dalong didn't say anything, Mu Gu continued speaking.

"My son and Ruge found a loophole in the national treasury's expenditure on flood relief in Huaizhou, and thus traced it to Qin Yanwei. After many twists and turns, we found Qin Yanwei in Zuiyun Tower."

When Emperor Dalong heard these words appear in a sentence, his temples began to throb.

He really didn't expect that this seemingly incompetent man, who had to rely on his sister to enter his official career, actually had such great ability. Emperor Dalong was still a little scared. If Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge hadn't investigated, he really wouldn't have noticed this inconspicuous guy who had already caused quite a stir.

Thinking of this, Emperor Dalong looked at the two people in front of him with a little more admiration in his eyes.

"Tell the Dali Temple how to deal with Qin Yanwei, and follow the rules. There is no need to..."

In fact, when he said this, Emperor Dalong also felt that since the matter had been resolved, he could just hand it over to the Dali Temple for trial. Why bother making such a trip in the middle of the night to inform him?

After seeing that the expressions of the two people in front of him seemed to be complicated, Emperor Dalong also realized that things might not have come to an end yet.

Emperor Dalong is not so stupid after all.

"What's irrational about that?"

Mu Gu had been waiting for Emperor Dalong to ask this question, and he spoke as soon as Emperor Dalong finished speaking.

"Replying to Father, Qin Yanwei is dead."

"what?"

Emperor Dalong was originally indifferent to these things which were not too surprising. He was even a little drowsy because he had been thinking too much. When he heard the news from Mu Gu, his eyes widened instantly. If his body was not not as strong as before, he would have almost stood up by supporting himself on the desk.

"When we found Qin Yanwei and wanted to interrogate him for more information, he was shot in the middle of the forehead by an arrow in front of his son and Ruge, and died instantly."

Mu Gu was still very calm, so calm that Emperor Dalong thought that Mu Gu was just chatting casually.

If Qin Yanwei was the only one who embezzled money from the national treasury, accepted bribes, and frequented brothels, then why would anyone kill Qin Yanwei as soon as Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge found him? This must have touched the interests of certain people, and they did it to silence him.

Emperor Dalong, who had completely sobered up, suddenly uttered a Sanskrit chant.

Indeed, how could such a huge amount of corruption be done by one person? Qin Yanwei was just the person who was pushed to the surface, the first idiot to be punished when something happened.

From this point of view, things are indeed not as simple as Emperor Dalong thought, and the unknown person behind Qin Yanwei is unfathomable.

Mu Gu watched the emotions changing on Emperor Dalong's face and gave him enough time to think. After seeing that Emperor Dalong had gradually calmed down, Mu Gu knelt in front of Emperor Dalong again, but this time his knees did not touch the ground.

Instead, he knelt on one knee. He had already laid enough groundwork, so now it was time to get to the point. He wanted to ask for permission.

"I beg you to give me the chance to catch the black hand behind Qin Yanwei, so that I can share your worries!"

Looking at the prince who was the least favored and least cared for by him in the past, but now seemed to be the only person he could rely on, Emperor Dalong had a very complicated look on his face.

He has cared about his face all his life. If he gave Mu Gu this opportunity, it would prove that he had made a big mistake in placing all his hopes on Mu Bo in the first half of his life.

He has done so many things that benefit the country and the people in his life, and he has never made any wrong decisions in the first half of his life. But the current situation tells him that he has made wrong decisions in his life.

Xiao Ruge stood behind Mu Gu, looking at the confusion and hesitation on Emperor Dalong's face.

She knew that Emperor Dalong must have been shaken, but she was still struggling in her heart whether to give Mu Gu the power. If she let Mu Gu do it, then she would have to be the one pushing Emperor Dalong to give in.

Xiao Ruge took a step forward, walked to Mu Gu's side, knelt down, raised his hands and bowed, his eyes extremely determined.

"Your Majesty, if the mastermind behind this is not caught as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles for Dalong. The Seventh Prince is just like you. He doesn't care about anything else. All he wants is to make Dalong last forever!"

Emperor Dalong stared blankly at the two people in front of him who were asking for orders. For a moment, the tightly stretched string in his heart completely broke.

Yes, when did he forget his original intention, which was to make Dalong more prosperous day by day? Suddenly, the words of his eldest brother appeared in Emperor Dalong's mind.

……

Blood slowly dripped from the corner of Mu Wan's mouth. Hearing the sound of a person falling heavily to the ground, Mu Tong gritted his teeth, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind to turn around and leave resolutely. That was his brother, the brother who had taken care of him wholeheartedly since he was a child.

For a moment he regretted that he had killed his own brother because of a momentary thought.

Mu Tong turned around and ran to Mu Wan as fast as he could, holding up Mu Wan's head. Tears could no longer be controlled and flowed out of his eyes, one drop at a time, hitting Mu Wan's face.

Mu Wan raised her hand tremblingly and wiped the tears from Mu Tong's face.

"Don't cry, little brother."

Mu Wan vaguely called out the name she had called Mu Tong in her childhood, which made Mu Tong completely regretful. He was about to call the people outside the house in. Even if he had to plead guilty to regicide, he must rescue Mu Wan.

Before he could say anything, Mu Wan covered his mouth with her hand to prevent him from making any sound.

Regicide is a capital crime, and he couldn't bear to see his little brother die.

Mu Wan had long seen through Mu Tong's thoughts and had already made plans. Once everything in Dafeng was stabilized, he would issue an edict to abdicate and let Mu Tong become the emperor of Dafeng. But he did not expect Mu Tong to be so anxious, and he did not expect that his beloved younger brother would actually kill him.

But he wouldn't blame Mu Tong.

"Little brother, from now on, the Great Seal...will be handed over to you...Let the Great Seal last for thousands of generations."

For thousands of years.

It was Mu Tong's promise.
