Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

This group of spies seemed to be really useful. After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhao was reluctant to give them up. What's more, it could also solve the problem of re-employing some of the veterans injured in the battlefield.

This has been a hidden danger in every dynasty.

Although these people were injured, they had wielded swords and seen blood on the battlefield. They had no hope of military merit, and farming was more difficult than for others. It was inevitable that some of them would give up and either become murderers themselves or accomplices of others.

Naturally, there were many such people who were "taken pity" by their own masters, taken in and raised at home, given easy and lightweight tasks, and eventually became other people's slaves.

But he didn't dare touch this matter for the time being.

Because, although there are not many old soldiers left, there are signs that border conflicts around us are resurfacing, and fighting is about to break out.

If this set a precedent, he would have to take care of the wounded soldiers coming off the battlefield in the future, not to mention whether the treasury had enough silver;

What kind of reasons would he need and what kind of government office would he need to open in order to be legitimate and avoid being criticized in later history books?

Therefore, we can only turn a blind eye for now and let Chen Duo deal with it in his personal capacity.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhao glanced at Chen Duo again and snorted, "You will only cause trouble for me!

"I have only been on the throne for a few months. You might as well wait another three to five years. You are so eager to levy heavy taxes and bring ruin to my reputation. Aren't you afraid that I will tear you to pieces?"

As he said this, he pointed to the treasure pavilion next to him and said, "The agate mountain, the jade incense burner, and the gold-inlaid jade ruyi are all given to you.

"Don't go out and extort money from officials anymore. The censors have already spotted you because of what happened today. Be careful, they may sue you!"

In other words, all these things in the Zichen Palace were used to make up for one’s previous savings!

These are priceless treasures, and there is no place to buy them even if you have money.

Chen Duo was so happy that his heart itched, and he laughed: "Yes! I will remember this! I will never go out and bring shame to my master!"

He then carefully asked in a low voice, "So, should I use this 'last will' to interrogate Jia Zhen, or should I arrest Jia She and Jia Lian as well?

"Jia She seems very cowardly. Who knows, if I can scare him or trick him, the two governments will be in trouble..."

Emperor Chongzhao looked at him with a casual look: "Well done, Chen Nei Si, you tortured me into a confession and took my life, and you even want to trick me into it. You are so bold!"

"Then, I will go and interrogate Jia Zhen and Jia Rong!" Chen Duo took his leave.

Emperor Chongzhao called him again and said, "The palace gate is closed. You can't leave today. Go back and ask some more questions and then rest.

“Whether you can find out the answer by asking or not, send someone to call Qinghai back tomorrow morning.

"He should have saved up some money during these few months out there."

Chen Duo responded, bowed and left.

Jingquan and Jingshun were waiting outside, chatting in low voices. When they saw him come out, Jingquan nodded and immediately went in to wait for instructions.

Seeing him happily put three boxes in the front of his robe, Jingshun leaned over curiously and asked, "What is this? A reward from His Majesty?"

"Nonsense! Can I figure it out by myself?"

Chen Duo grinned slyly but didn't even look at Jingshun. He just walked away humming a little tune.

Invesco looked at his back with resentment.

Qinghai has left the palace, so there is no place for him.

Changying became the chief eunuch, so there was no place for him.

Jing Quan became the chief eunuch of the Palace Province, and there was no place for him.

Every other day Chen Duo either received rewards from His Majesty or took things from the Imperial Concubine, but he had no share.

Jing Li was doing very well with the Imperial Concubine, but there was no place for him.

Even when Fuguier came later and started to do some jobs that could show off his status, there was still no place for him.

Invesco was full of resentment.

He sighed, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and felt that it was really unpleasant to have so many things on his mind but no one knew about it.

At this moment, a meow was suddenly heard.

He looked around quickly, but there was nothing.

"Meow." Wu Jin lay on the bracket under the heavy eaves and wagged his tail.

Jingshun finally saw it, laughed, stretched out his hand, and whispered:

"You sneak out to play in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. Does the Imperial Concubine know?"

Wu Jin looked at him for a while, reluctantly gave him some respect, and lightly jumped into his arms, calling out again: "Meow~"

The voice is soft and coquettish.

Jingshun smiled, stroked its fur, and whispered, "I'm guarding the gate here, and I don't have any food.

"You'd better go back quickly. Otherwise Miss An'er and the others will find out and instigate the Queen to cut off your food supply."

Wu Gin rubbed his hand.

At this moment, the door of the hall creaked open. Jing Quan poked his head out, looked at the black gold in his arms, couldn't help but smile, and whispered:

"Your Majesty invites you in."

Jingshun responded and tried to let go, but Wujin grabbed his clothes with one claw.

No choice.

Jing Quan also smiled: "Forget it, bring it in."

At three o'clock in the morning, Wu Jin returned to Yinyu Palace.

Wang Xifeng was sleeping soundly.

Jin Ercai watched it open the window and come in, and couldn't help but let out a squeak.

Wang Xifeng opened her eyes.

Wu Jin glared at Jin Ercai fiercely.

"Why did you come back just now?" Wang Xifeng asked lazily.

Wu Jin had no choice but to walk to her bed and meow, meow, meow.

Wang Xifeng drew aside the bed curtains, revealing a surprised face: "Are you really going to reopen the East and West Factory Jinyiwei?"

"Meow."

No, the Ministry of Internal Affairs picked out an idle supervisor to take over all of Chen Duo’s current people.

"What district mark?!" Wang Xifeng snorted and raised her eyebrows. "Why, your Prince Qin Guang wants Jing Quan to pick Chen Duo's peaches?"

Wu Jin frowned and said, "Woo."

seems like it.

Wang Xifeng fell back on the bed, chuckled, and stared at the bed curtains with her bright eyes:

“I forged the suicide note for him, so the credit goes to Chen Duo.

"If he really does something so unfair, don't blame me for bringing Chang Ying back to Zichen Palace and letting his son pay off his debts!"

Wu Jin hesitated for a moment, then uttered a weak sound: "Oooooh..."

Prince Duan is a good kid...

“That child already has his own ideas, and the only one who could confuse him is the Queen.

“Having Changying grow up beside him is just the icing on the cake.

"It's enough for him to have a rich girl by his side."

Wang Xifeng yawned and closed her eyes.

Princess Zhai, He Ke and Lin Daiyu are all in the palace now, so she needs to be more cautious in many of her actions.

The situation inside and outside the company seems to be relaxed, but in fact, a storm is brewing. She may start killing again.

The timing must be chosen well...

Wu Jin turned around and looked at Jin Ercai, who had kept his beak tightly closed, with a cold look in his eyes.

I've been in a bad mood recently and really want to eat bird.

Jin Ercai simply buried the bird's head in its wings and fell asleep.

Zichen Palace.

Jingshun stood outside the hall door, a little stiff.

Jing Quan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are not a secret agent, but a deterrent. Go tomorrow, don't worry."

Jingshun complained: "It's easy to say, why don't you go to Penglai Palace?"
