The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

On a summer night, the moonlight is as bright as a thread and fireflies are dancing.

Under the cover of night, several dark shadows passed through a remote alley and landed lightly outside a small courtyard.

The yard is not big and the door is half open.

"Master, Zhang Jiuchen is inside." Chi Zhang said in a low voice.

Chu Heng pushed open the wooden door and entered the yard.

There was a dim oil lamp still burning in the room, and a shadow was cast on the wooden window.

"Be careful!" Shan Lan shouted in a low voice.

Before he could finish his words, arrows rained down from all directions.

Chu Heng danced with a folding fan tightly, then flew into the air and landed under the eaves.

The rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and an old voice was heard from the room.

"Why did you break into my house so late at night?"

Chu Heng pushed the door open and saw a very simple room with a table, a person and an oil lamp.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night." Chu Heng bowed and then sat down opposite him.

Zhang Jiucheng remained calm and took a sip of the wine slowly.

"I heard that a nobleman in the capital was looking for me recently, so I came back to see you. You came faster than I thought. Now, what do you want to see me for?"

"I would like to ask you to make a private seal for me."

"Sure, as long as you can afford it."

Chu Heng curled his lips and smiled: "Sir, tell me a number."

"That depends on whose private seal it is."

Chu Heng handed him the drawing. Zhang Jiuchen took it and took a look at it, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then he held up three fingers: "Three hundred thousand taels."

"Okay, I'll come with the money at this time tomorrow." Chu Heng agreed immediately, and without further ado, he got up and left the room.

"Master, have you reached an agreement?" Chi Zhang asked in a low voice.

"Follow him. If he is going to Prince Rui's Palace, don't worry about him. If he is going somewhere else, just tie him up."

"Yes."

Inside the house, Zhang Jiuchen saw everyone leave, turned off the lights and went to bed.

The courtyard was silent, with only moonlight and the chirping of insects.

About half an hour later, the person on the bed suddenly sat up, got out of bed quietly, opened the door, looked around, and then disappeared into the darkness.

The black shadow flashed into the back door of Prince Rui's Mansion and went straight to the study.

The lights in the study were on brightly. Chu Ze was sitting behind the desk, reading a book.

Zhang Jiuchen pushed the door open and walked in, bowing to Chu Ze.

"Your Highness."

Chu Ze put down the book and looked at Zhang Jiucheng: "What did he ask you to do?"

"It is the private seal of the Crown Prince of Northern Qi. He will come back tomorrow with silver."

"Crown Prince of Northern Qi?" Chu Ze thought for a while.

Thinking about the human evidence they have now, could it be that Chu Heng wants to forge physical evidence?

"Do as he says."

"Yes."

At the same time, Chi Zhang was also reporting to Chu Heng.

"As Your Highness expected, he went to Prince Rui's Palace."

Chu Heng curled his lips and smiled: "Then you can rest assured, but after the matter is done, the mouths that should be silenced must be silenced."

"Yes."

Shan Lan waited for Chi Zhang to finish his report, then stepped forward and asked, "Should we prepare the silver now? Zhang Jiucheng has a big appetite."

Chu Heng raised his hand: "No need, just go to Prince Rui's Mansion to get it tomorrow."

The next morning, Chu Heng arrived at Prince Rui's Palace.

"What a rare guest! Fifth brother, why are you so free today?" Chu Ze smiled gently while holding a teacup.

"You should have come earlier. Brothers should visit each other more often. The Ministry of Personnel is busy."

Chu Ze laughed in his heart.

Everyone knows that he is a scoundrel in the Ministry of Personnel.

"You don't come here for no reason. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Chu Ze really acted like a good brother, with helplessness and indulgence in his tone.

"Look at what my brother said." Chu Heng didn't look embarrassed at all, and then changed the subject, "I really have something to do. I'm a little short of money recently. I wonder if my brother is convenient..."

Chu Ze raised his eyebrows, thinking that the 300,000 taels that Zhang Jiuchen wanted was indeed too much for Chu Heng.

Chu Heng was a lazy prince with a monthly salary of only two hundred taels and no support from his maternal family.

If he can't raise the money, there's no way he can go on.

After thinking about it, Chu Ze said generously: "How much do you want?"

Chu Heng held up four fingers: "Four hundred thousand taels."

"Four hundred thousand?!" Chu Ze's voice suddenly rose.

This Chu Heng wants to make money without spending a penny!

Chu Heng said tactfully: "This is an emergency. It costs money to hire people. Brother Huang, I'm telling you the truth. You've spent this money wisely."

"We now have evidence that Wei Tiankuang lied about military intelligence and colluded with Northern Qi. If we add physical evidence, it will be easier to bring down the Wei family."

"I found Zhang Jiucheng. With Zhang Jiucheng, we have the physical evidence."

Chu Ze thought that it was just as he expected.

"What evidence?"

"As long as Zhang Jiucheng can forge the private seal of the Northern Qi prince, he can forge the correspondence between Wei Tiankuang and the Northern Qi prince."

Chu Ze worriedly said, "It's not enough to just have a private seal. What about the handwriting? Such letters of treason must be submitted to the six ministries for review. If there is any mistake, all our efforts may be overturned."

"Don't worry, my brother. I have my own way. When the letter is ready, you can ask someone to identify it first and then make a decision. But now this letter is asking for 400,000, and I really don't have enough money..."

Chu Ze almost couldn't help but expose him.

It was clear that the other party only asked for 300,000 yuan, and this was bullying that he couldn't say it out loud.

"Okay, 400,000 is 400,000."

Anyway, Zhang Jiuchen's 300,000 will return to him.

If this matter is really accomplished, the glory of the Wei family, the queen, and the prince will become a thing of the past.

Chu Heng came out of Prince Rui's Mansion with Chi Zhang holding a big box in his hand.

After returning to Zichen Palace and looking at the box full of banknotes, Shanlan's mouth was almost grinning to his ears.

"Master is really good. Not only did he not lose a cent, he even made a profit of 100,000 taels."

Chu Heng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Your master is poor. King Rui was afraid that we would delay things, so he had to take the money. If I had known he would be so generous, I should have said 500,000."

Shan Lan shook his head, his master's assets were clearly spread all over Dongling, and were not much different from those of the Pei family in Gusu.

Black or the master is black.

At night, Chu Heng handed the silver to Zhang Jiuchen.

Zhang Jiuchen raised his eyelids and took a look at the box full of banknotes.

"Come and get your stuff in ten days."

Chu Heng nodded and left the yard.

He returned to the palace quietly and went to bed just then. He heard someone talking outside.

He turned over and asked, "What happened outside?"

Chi Zhang came in hurriedly: "Your Highness, the emperor is not well, and Eunuch Quan sent someone to ask you to go and see him."

Chu Heng's face changed, he hurriedly got up, changed his clothes, and took Chi Zhang out of the room.

As soon as the young eunuch saw Chu Heng, he said, "Greetings, Your Highness. Please follow me."

Chu Heng followed the young eunuch and walked quickly towards the Yangxin Palace.
