I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

But as soon as he was distracted, Huo Caiyu went to discuss the investigation of evidence with Chi Zhongming as usual, and Li Jinyu looked carefully at the side, but he didn't see anything wrong with Huo Caiyu.

He could only comfort himself that he was wrong just now.

After all, Huo Caiyu is the future Mingjun, so he won't play so much.

When Chi Zhongming watched them talking about business, Huo Caiyu always looked at Li Jinyu inadvertently, and when Li Jinyu ate melon seeds, he always looked up at Huo Caiyu.

It's like making an appointment, but they always happen to be staggered, and they never look at each other. On the contrary, they give people an unspeakable sense of tacit understanding.

Chi Zhongming: "..."

He wants to withdraw his sympathy for Huo Caiyu.

Taking advantage of Li Jinyu's going to the bathroom, Chi Zhongming said to Huo Caiyu with some jealousy: "Look at Brother Li, Brother Huo already has the winning ticket, right?"

Huo Caiyu glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"I, Chi Zhongming, think that I still have a good eye for people—Brother Li is a simple-minded man with little worldly sophistication, and his thoughts are all on Brother Huo." Chi Zhongming shook his folding fan and patted Huo Caiyu on the shoulder, "Huo Caiyu Bro break the paper on the window, and you will definitely be able to stay together and fly together."

While talking, Chi Zhongming felt a little pitiful again, and changed the subject and said: "Of course, Brother Li's childish and ignorant temperament can only be kept in the house. I'm afraid Brother Huo needs to take good care of him and support his family—" —No better than the one in my family, even though he has a bad temper, he has outstanding means..."

Speaking of the latter, Chi Zhongming couldn't help but start to show off his sweetheart who hadn't made it yet.

Huo Caiyu ignored him, and his eyes were still on the information they compiled.

——Oh, this Chi Zhongming is really brazen.

He and His Majesty have known each other for so long and he dare not say that he has seen through His Majesty, what can Chi Zhongming do?

His majesty sits on the world and has hills and valleys in his chest. How can ordinary people compare with it?

……

Qian Laizi has great enthusiasm and perseverance for revenge, and quickly investigated Ye Gui'an's actions in those few days.

Li Jinyu listened curiously to Qian Laizi's dictation, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you check so clearly?"

Are beggars' resolution and memory so good?

"Beggars can't remember people, but they can remember the day when the food in the other courtyard was particularly fragrant, and the things in the slop cart were extraordinarily rich." The lame Qian gathered up his dirty and torn clothes, lowered his head and replied, "As long as you know that there is a big banquet in the other courtyard, you can confirm that Ye Gui'an has arrived."

Li Jinyu scratched his ears, a little surprised.

The reason is very simple, but not everyone can think of it.In particular, Lame Qian is an illiterate, homeless orphan.

This boy is actually quite smart.

Huo Caiyu made a note of it in his heart, nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you for your help."

"You don't need to thank me, I'm just avenging my father and mother." Laizi Qian pursed his lips, hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but confirm again, "That dog official... can he really be punished?"

Before Huo Caiyu answered, he heard Li Jinyu on the side say firmly: "Yes, absolutely."

It was rare for His Majesty to express his views so firmly, Huo Caiyu glanced at him in surprise.

With Li Jinyu's promise, Qian Laizi left with peace of mind.

Huo Caiyu and Li Jinyu were left alone.

Huo Caiyu turned to look at Li Jinyu.Although he sneered at Chi Zhongming's words, Huo Caiyu couldn't help but feel a little turmoil in his mind now that the two of them are in a world together.

——If you break through this window paper with His Majesty, can you really make progress?

"Your Majesty." He couldn't help calling out.

Li Jinyu was lowering his head and patiently peeling peanut shells - this inn does not have the kind of roasted crispy peanuts in the palace, only boiled in ordinary water without shelling.

Due to his image, he couldn't eat it directly, so he had to peel it off with his hands.

Huo Caiyu didn't know why his majesty loved these foods so much, but seeing Li Jinyu holding the peanut shells patiently and meticulously while facing the oil lamp, he felt that his majesty was so cute.

Huo Caiyu felt that he was probably crazy, seeing His Majesty peeling peanuts was a joy to watch.

However, if the peanut shells are peeled too much, the fingers will become numb. Huo Caiyu reached out and picked up a peanut: "Your Majesty, rest, I will peel it."

Li Jinyu seemed to be pardoned, shook his numb fingertips, and readily gave up the peanut basket.

Occasionally enslaving Huo Caiyu and brushing off his bad feelings for a while proves that he has not forgotten about it.Li Jinyu thought with peace of mind.

For Huo Caiyu, peeling peanut shells doesn't even require internal force, and the round and plump peanut kernels can be easily peeled off with fingers.

When I looked up, I happened to see Li Jinyu sitting across the table, staring eagerly at the peanuts in his hand; after the peanuts were peeled, Li Jinyu quickly stuffed them into his mouth, and he liked to stuff a lot of them in one go until his cheeks became swollen. Start chewing.

Staring at His Majesty's stuffed face, Huo Caiyu inexplicably remembered that when he was young and his family was not bad, he followed his father to visit the homes of other officials. The wife of that family kept a small white rat pet, who liked to stuff his mouth with food... It is exactly the same as His Majesty today.

Especially His Majesty looking at him with burning and bright eyes...

Huo Caiyu's heartstrings trembled slightly.

——Does Your Majesty treat him with the same feeling as he treats His Majesty?

During the day, Chi Zhongming's bewitching words lingered in his heart, and Huo Caiyu couldn't help calling again: "Your Majesty."

Li Jinyu stared at the half-peeled peanut in Huo Caiyu's hand, and responded absently: "Huh?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think of me... how about me?"

"You? It's good." Li Jinyu didn't know why Huo Caiyu stopped peeling peanuts in his hands, and pointed his fingers alternately on the table, wondering if Huo Caiyu was tired of peeling peanuts?

"What I mean is that Your Majesty treats you..." Huo Caiyu was rarely nervous. He put his hands flat on the table, circling in his heart, trying to spit out a little bit. Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Li Jinyu's eyes followed him His hand was completely on the unpeeled peanut.

Huo Caiyu: "..."

The tense atmosphere just dissipated suddenly, and Huo Caiyu felt a little disappointed in his heart. He reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth, and picked up the peanut again: "Your Majesty treats me with kindness, and I will do my best to serve the court and repay the court with springs."

Only then did Li Jinyu come back to his senses, and blinked, not understanding why Huo Caiyu said this suddenly.

——Wait, who wants you to report to me? !

Recalling Huo Caiyu's words, Li Jinyu almost wanted to jump up.

——I want you to usurp the throne immediately, usurp the throne!

But he dare not say this now.His spiritual power has been consumed too much these days, and he hasn't accumulated enough to escape by feigning death.

In case Huo Caiyu became murderous and really killed him in a flash of brain, it would be over.

Li Jinyu held his breath, and finally couldn't help but hinted tactfully: "Huo Aiqing, I think you can consider a higher position."

For example, what is the ninety-five supreme...

For some reason, Li Jinyu felt that when he said this, the color on Huo Caiyu's face suddenly became brighter, and a smile appeared on his mouth: "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

With clues, Huo Caiyu and Chi Zhongming became obviously busy in the next few days.

After sifting through the information brought by Lame Qian, several other courtyards were locked. Huo Caiyu and Chi Zhongming went to investigate separately, and finally confirmed that Ye Guian's account books and letters should be in a separate courtyard in Huma Lane in the south of the city.

Ye Gui'an might not have imagined that the secrets he had hidden under the cover-ups of dozens of other courtyards were so easily leaked by the beggars who could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys and scolded by thousands of people.

After finding the location, they didn't startle the snake.

The spring tax of the prefecture city and the surrounding counties and towns has basically been collected, and it happens to be reported and sorted out in the past few days. The specific amount of Ye Guian's greed will have to wait for all the tax money to arrive.

When the last wave of key evidence is in place, it's time for them to close the net.

In the past few days, Huo Caiyu also tried Chi Zhongming's true identity, but Chi Zhongming only said that he was an imperial envoy sent by envoys in the capital to investigate the spring tax situation in Qingshui County.

Huo Caiyu couldn't speak, so he could only give up.

At least in the process of getting along with Chi Zhongming, he could feel that this baby-faced young man sincerely wanted to solve the problem in Qingshui County.

As for the others, we should wait until we return to the capital to investigate.

Huo Caiyu also guessed who would be able to send Chi Zhongming——Chi Zhongming's skills and knowledge are good, and in such a world, only a wealthy family can teach him.

——Is it true that His Majesty does not put all eggs in one basket?

Huo Caiyu's thoughts circled, and he secretly raised his vigilance against Chi Zhongming, who was as good as Long Yang, and tried to avoid contact with Li Jinyu.

Although this guy said he has a sweetheart, who knows if there is, and who is it?

If it is His Majesty's hidden guard, it is normal for him not to be known; for self-protection, it is reasonable for His Majesty not to show his face in front of the hidden guard, or even let the hidden guard know his true identity.

Naturally, Chi Zhongming could not fail to feel Huo Caiyu's reaction, and at first he was a little dumbfounded: "Brother Huo, I don't need to be so defensive."

Huo Caiyu squinted at him, the meaning was self-evident.

Chi Zhongming had no choice but to slander Huo Caiyu's obsessive temperament, which will definitely be a problem in the future.

After seeing Chi Zhongming for the first time, Li Jinyu tried his best to recall the records about Chi Zhongming in the original book.

He hadn't read the chapter where Chi Zhongming and Huo Caiyu met, but he remembered that it was mentioned later that Chi Zhongming was originally an orphan, who was abandoned in the wilderness, and was picked up by a rich man with no children by chance, and went back to raise him as his own; Later, something happened, Chi Zhongming's family was ruined, and he was full of resentment towards the imperial court. He persisted in the front line of the rebellion, met Huo Caiyu with regret, and joined Huo Caiyu's banner.

Li Jinyu looked at Chi Zhongming and thought: Now it is completely impossible to see that Chi Zhongming's family is ruined... Could it be that the plot that led to Chi Zhongming's rebellion against the court in the original book hasn't come yet?

But from Chi Zhongming's standpoint, no matter the original work or the present, at least he has always stood by the common people.

……

During the last few days of waiting, Huo Caiyu simply rented a new room at the inn near Ye Gui'an's Bieyuan, and observed and monitored him closely.

When the scheduled time came, there was nothing in the other courtyard. It was still the usual activities, and the money cripple reported that the beggars didn't see anything wrong.

Such anomalies inevitably make people feel a little restless.

Chi Zhongming couldn't help doubting: "Could we have found the wrong one?"

Huo Caiyu looked out of the other courtyard from the window, pursed his lips: "Wait a little longer."

"Trust Brother Huo." Li Jinyu was the most stable one, trusting Huo Caiyu unconditionally, "Brother Huo must be right!"

After waiting for two more days, there was finally a change.

The lame Qian reported that the beggars found that the swill bucket at the back door of the other courtyard had become extremely abundant.

"We are here to keep an eye out, and we have never seen anyone enter the door. Ye Guian must have another secret way." Huo Caiyu closed the window with a serious expression, "It's time to go."

Chi Zhongming collected the usual smile on his face, and straightened his expression: "Let's go."

Huo Caiyu and Chi Zhongming teamed up, and Li Jinyu was full of confidence in them.

He gnawed melon seeds in the house, and waited for the return of the two people until the next day when the sky was bright.

The two of them were not injured, but their faces were frighteningly gloomy.

Li Jinyu was startled: "Why, it's not going well?"

Chi Zhongming patted the folding fan helplessly: "I got the things, but Ye Guian can't solve it."

"Is there any problem with the hard evidence?" Li Jinyu curiously opened several thick account books and a stack of new paper letters that Huo Caiyu took out, "Is there any problem with the evidence?"

"There is no problem with the evidence. Ye Gui'an has a gold medal to avoid death." Huo Caiyu looked gloomy and complicated, glanced at Li Jinyu, and said after a moment of silence, "Ye Gui'an... is the biological father of a favorite concubine in the palace."

"Favorite concubine?" Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Concubine Xian, isn't that right, Concubine Xian?"

Only then did he recall that the noble concubine's surname was Ye, and the main reason for her longevity was her uncle, Prime Minister Ye, the most powerful minister of the Di Dynasty.

And the sheriff of Qingshui County is Prime Minister Ye's cousin!

So it turned out to be Xian Guifei's father?

It's just that Li Jinyu still doesn't understand: "What's wrong?"

Even if Chi Zhongming thought that the status of Xiangui concubine would be a threat, Huo Caiyu shouldn't be?

Seeing that Li Jinyu didn't care at all, Huo Caiyu eased the depression in his heart, understood Li Jinyu's doubts, and explained briefly: "Ye Gui'an entered the imperial genealogy through the connections of the noble concubine and Prime Minister Ye."

According to the logic, only the queen's close relatives can be included in the royal genealogy and enjoy the serious royal treatment; but before the noble concubine was favored, and Prime Minister Ye was very popular, it really made Ye Gui'an a success.

If the noble concubine can become a queen, that's all. If she can't, the Ye family will definitely be liquidated in the future.

Prime Minister Ye is very scheming, and he probably wouldn't do such a thing; but Ye Guian is a real fool, so it's not surprising that he behaved like this.

But Li Jinyu still didn't quite understand: "What's wrong with entering the royal genealogy?"

"Brother Li, don't you know that there is an article about the royal family in my Dadi law?" Chi Zhongming was a little surprised, and reminded, "As long as it is not a crime of treason, everyone on the royal family tree will have a chance to be completely exonerated. "

Even if it is a capital crime, it can be avoided.

Since Ye Gui'an entered the royal family tree, he naturally would not give up this chance.The prime minister's faction will inevitably use this article to make a fuss.

Even if Li Jinyu wanted to go back and expel Ye Gui'an from the royal genealogy, he would be obstructed by the prime minister's faction.

Li Jinyu rubbed his sore cheeks stuffed with melon seeds all night, and felt a headache: "Are you going to let him go?"

This decree was formulated by Di Chao himself, in order to worry that future generations would not have a chance to turn back after making mistakes.Therefore, this decree has been absolutely supported by the entire imperial family, and no emperor has ever considered abolishing it.

The problem is... this law protects the life and status of the royal descendants, but it suffers for the people who are fished.

Huo Caiyu saw that Li Jinyu was sincerely struggling with how to bring Ye Gui'an to justice, the haze on his face dissipated a lot, and a trace of warmth appeared in his heart again.

He was not mistaken about His Majesty.

"Think of a way for now, it really won't work..." Huo Caiyu stretched out his hand and looked down, clenched his fist slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Just kill him."

The death penalty for Ye Guian's crime is not an exaggeration.

If the imperial court can't do it, let him be the blade in the palm of His Majesty!

……

Now that the evidence is in hand, it becomes a question of who to put it in.

Huo Caiyu thought that Chi Zhongming would argue for the evidence, but Chi Zhongming waved his hand coolly: "Let the evidence be with you——My goal has basically been achieved, and I will leave it to you later, Inspector Huo, the tax collector."

Li Jinyu's eyes widened instantly.

Tax Inspector is the official title he conferred on Huo Caiyu!

Chi Zhongming calling Huo Caiyu like this proves that he already knows Huo Caiyu's identity? !

Huo Caiyu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, her expression remained unchanged, she only raised her eyebrows slightly: "Okay."

On the contrary, Chi Zhongming was a little surprised: "Brother Huo seems to have expected it?"

"My identity has never been concealed, so it's easy for Brother Chi to find out." Huo Caiyu raised his head, and cast his probing eyes on Chi Zhongming, "I'm more curious about Brother Chi's identity."

"Brother Huo was honest with me, I shouldn't have concealed something..." Chi Zhongming said with some embarrassment, "It's just that Ye Gui'an can't be arrested, my errand is not complete at all, if his identity is revealed, it will be far away from us." The goal of holding a beautiful woman back is a little further away."

Huo Caiyu: "..."

He never expected that Chi Zhongming would use such an excuse.

What was even more unexpected was that, seeing the seriousness in Chi Zhongming's expression, he actually thought so.

"I can't help you much later, so I'll leave it to Brother Huo." Chi Zhongming opened the folding fan coolly, and winked at Huo Caiyu, "I hope we can all get the beauty back and get what we want."

Li Jinyu didn't quite understand what charades they were playing, and when he heard this, he immediately became interested, and looked at Huo Caiyu in surprise: "Do you have a sweetheart?"

The original book is a novel without c, the main plot line is Huo Caiyu's pioneering, and there is no mention of Huo Caiyu's sweetheart.

Didn't expect to find out that Huo Caiyu has a lover after crossing over?

Huo Caiyu looked at Li Jinyu's interested expression, carefully discerned Li Jinyu's expression, and found that it was full of curiosity and gossiping interests, without any trace of color, and suddenly felt a little panicked, pursing his lips: "Brother Chi is talking nonsense, you Don't believe it."

Chi Zhongming clicked his tongue twice, and wanted to say something, but Huo Caiyu glared at him, shrunk his neck, and said with a smile: "Then let's take our leave, and see you in the capital."

"Huh?" Li Jinyu was a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but said, "Aren't you going with us?"

Chi Zhongming was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to go with you?"

Li Jinyu opened his mouth, and said "Aren't you Huo Caiyu's younger brother?" He didn't say it out of his mouth.

He turned to look at Huo Caiyu - hey, your little brother is going to run away!

Unexpectedly, Huo Caiyu's face was blunt, and he looked at him with some serious eyes.

Li Jinyu: "...Brother Huo?"

Huo Caiyu withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, then raised them to look at Chi Zhongming.

Chi Zhongming cupped his hands knowingly: "Then I'll take my leave."

When Chi Zhongming left, Li Jinyu still looked at Huo Caiyu eagerly, hating iron and steel in his heart: Look at what happened to you, how did you let your future number one brother go!

Huo Caiyu's gaze was still deep, seeing Li Jinyu's expression of reluctance for Chi Zhongming, his eyes darkened a bit, and he abruptly changed the topic: "Is it time for Your Majesty to return to the palace?"

Li Jinyu's attention was diverted: "Are you going back together?"

Huo Caiyu shook his head: "I still have to deal with Ye Guian here."

"Then I will stay too."

"No." Huo Caiyu looked solemn, "The next step is to confront Ye Guian head-on. At that time, Ye Guian will do everything in order to preserve his wealth. Your Majesty must not personally take risks."

Even though Ye Gui'an's status as a royal could exonerate him, the post of Qingshui County Magistrate is definitely out of reach.

Qingshui County is considered affluent among the counties of Di Dynasty, and it is close to the capital.Ye Guian was naturally unwilling to give up.

Ye Gui'an cannot be brought down on charges of corruption and obstruction of the new tax, Huo Caiyu can only force it.

Even if assassination is the last resort, Ye Gui'an must be dismounted first!

It is self-evident that Huo Caiyu wants to completely dismount Ye Guian.

Li Jinyu originally wanted to fight for another chance to stay by Huo Caiyu's side, but seeing Huo Caiyu's expression, he intuitively felt Huo Caiyu's seriousness.

But he really didn't want to leave Huo Caiyu's side—not to mention the issue of urging Huo Aiyu to take power as soon as possible, but the fact that he might face that weird black cat after returning to the palace made him not want to leave.

After struggling for a while, Li Jinyu's eyes suddenly brightened: "I have a good idea!"

……

After hearing Li Jinyu's idea, Huo Caiyu was slightly taken aback: "This method...is feasible, but..."

Only in this way, he and His Majesty will be separated for a while.

Although they didn't communicate with each other, Li Jinyu thought of getting together with him.

If you are separated from Huo Caiyu, what the hell should you do if you encounter something?

Li Jinyu used his brains and came up with a good solution. He stretched out his hand and began to unbutton his shirt, and at the same time turned his head and said to Huo Caiyu, "Quick, take off your clothes."

Huo Caiyu was stunned for a moment, then stood up subconsciously, and his voice stumbled when he spoke: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?!"

……

A few days later, Lame Qian came back and reported to Huo Caiyu routinely: "The county guard's mansion has been brightly lit for several days in a row. I heard from the beggars that there are people coming in continuously. The common people are guessing whether some important person has come."

Huo Caiyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he nodded: "I see."

Qian Laizi hadn't seen the young master surnamed Li in the past few days, he was a little curious, but he was too embarrassed to ask, so he held back his words.

When Lame Qian resigned, Huo Caiyu suddenly stopped him: "Be careful these few days, there may be changes."

Lame Qian was slightly taken aback, and then there was a hint of ecstasy in his expression: "Mr. Huo, do you want to..."

Huo Caiyu shook his head, with a serious expression: "I just remind you, it may not be possible."

"It's better than hopeless." Lame Qian bit his lower lip, seeing Huo Caiyu's unsightly face, thinking that things were not going well, the blood in his heart retreated a little.

Huo Caiyu sent Lame Qian away, returned to the table, took out some of the collected evidence, and planned to make the final arrangement, but he was irritable and couldn't calm down at all.

The "good idea" that Li Jinyu mentioned earlier was that he went to the government office of Qingshui County in person.

On the one hand, as the emperor appeared in Qingshui County, Ye Guian must protect his safety wholeheartedly, and would never let others hurt the emperor; on the other hand, Ye Guian focused on dealing with His Majesty. , There will naturally be omissions in other aspects, and Huo Caiyu can take the opportunity to arrange follow-up arrangements.

But Huo Caiyu was still in a bad mood.

He was not worried about Li Jinyu's safety - Ye Gui'an should be the person most afraid of Li Jinyu's accident in Qingshui County at the moment.In case the emperor made any mistake, ten gold medals for avoiding death would not save him.

Huo Caiyu was worried about Ye Guian's influence on Li Jinyu.

Ye Gui'an was greedy for money and lustful, and set up dozens of other courtyards. Although it was for the purpose of deception, each of the other courtyards did have his concubine Ji.

What methods would such a person use to curry favor with the emperor?

The daughter became a concubine in the palace, how could she not let Ye Gui'an taste the sweetness and want to make things worse?

——Your Majesty is exactly the age when Mu Shaoai is lustful...

Thinking that Li Jinyu might be with other people, Huo Caiyu felt overwhelmed with discomfort, wishing he could immediately break into Ye Guian's house, kill him with a sword, and return to Beijing with his majesty.

But immediately he realized another problem: His Majesty is the emperor.

He is the lord of the world, the king of the Sangong and Liuyuan.

No matter how unwilling he is, there are still so many concubines in His Majesty's harem waiting for His Majesty's blessing.

When cleaning up the internal affairs for His Majesty before, Huo Caiyu also knew that the famous and important concubines in the harem were all the family members of the royal family and the top ministers.

The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty.

Will His Majesty disperse the harem for him?

Huo Caiyu put down the pen in his hand with some self-deprecation.

He has not even determined how His Majesty treats him, so how dare he expect to be a couple with His Majesty for the rest of his life?

Thinking about the difficult situation His Majesty is facing now, Huo Caiyu finally calmed down a bit.

No matter what the future holds, right now he wants to overcome obstacles for his Majesty.

As for the others... Maybe only if he has enough strength in Dichao and speaks enough weight, can he have the confidence to fight for it.
