Guo Shangshu was assassinated on the night he was summoned by Zhou Qingwu, and Yue Qingshan was very uneasy.

Because on the second day, there were already rumors that the person he appointed assassinated Guo Shangshu, and the people in Guo Shangshu's mansion still had witnesses.

said that the person who entered the mansion that night to assassinate was sent by Yue Qingshan.

"Find out who took my name!" Yue Qingshan clenched his fists, this person who pretended to be him, he must find out, otherwise, I am afraid that even if he handed over the 200,000 taels, Zhou Qingwu would not let him go.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

The guards left, Yue Qingshan took out the receipt from his arms, he wanted to use it to pull Guo Shangshu into the water, but he didn't expect that now he was dead.

"Master Guo, since you are no longer here, help me!" Yue Qingshan muttered softly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the morning of the same day, Yue Qingshan carried 200,000 taels of silver into the palace.

Zhou Qingwu asked someone to count it in front of him, and then asked someone to carry it into the treasury.

"Aiqing can give up like this, I am very relieved." Zhou Qingwu stood up and came to Yue Qingshan, a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's just that where did Aiqing's money come from, but I have to tell it to me!" ”

Yue Qingshan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of panic: "Your Majesty, this ......"

Zhou Qingwu looked at him condescendingly and said: "I remember, Aiqing's regular silver is only thirty taels a month, plus the land in your name, in a few years, you can only save twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, where did Aiqing get these two hundred thousand taels from?" ”

Zhou Qingwu naturally knew about Yue Qingshan's embezzlement and looting of silver, but he didn't hand Yue Qingshan over to Dali Temple for interrogation.

When asked like this today, Yue Qingshan was a little confused, he couldn't speak, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would mistake Zhou Qingwu's meaning and make trouble.

Just seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Qingwu frowned slightly, "You already know about Guo Shangshu's assassination?" ”

Yue Qingshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Qingwu change the topic, and bowed his head and said, "Yes, Guo Shangshu was killed by gangsters, and Weichen was also very sad. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Qingwu's mouth, he looked at Yue Qingshan and asked, "Why is Aiqing sad?" Aren't you the ones who killed people? ”

Yue Qingshan's knees weakened when he heard this, and he knelt directly on the ground and said to Zhou Qingwu: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't send someone to kill Guo Shangshu, and asked Your Majesty to be clear, it's really not Weichen!" ”

The smile on Zhou Qingwu's lips deepened, and there was no surprise at his attitude, "It's not okay for Aiqing to say no, come here, put Yue Qingshan in prison and interrogate him on a later date!" ”

"Yes!" The two guards stepped forward, set up Yue Qingshan from the ground, and prepared to walk out.

Yue Qingshan didn't expect that Zhou Qingwu would put him in prison after he handed over 200,000 taels of silver, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Zhou Qingwu looked at him and said: "I went to the prison, remember to think carefully about how these 200,000 or 200,000 came from, if I don't tell the truth, I'm afraid Aiqing will have to come out sideways." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged!" When Yue Qingshan heard Zhou Qingwu's words, he came back to his senses and shouted to Zhou Qingwu.

The two guards didn't give him a chance to say a second word, and directly dragged Yue Qingshan away from the palace.

Zhou Qingwu looked at Yue Qingshan's figure, and a trace of mockery crossed his eyes.

At the feet of the world, he dared to do such a thing, was it when he, the emperor, was dead?

Not long after Yue Qingshan was dragged down, a guard came to ask to see him.

Zhou Qingwu looked at the guard and asked, "Those people who collect money everywhere, but they have already caught it?" ”

The guard answered, "Yes! has been caught, and those people have confessed, it is because Guo Shangshu is behind his back, so these people dare to be so unscrupulous. ”

"Oh? So it has nothing to do with Yue Qingshan? Zhou Qingwu looked at the guard with some confusion and asked.

The guard raised his eyes and said to Zhou Qingwu, "No, all the money collected has gone to Yue Qingshan's hands. Guo Shangshu did not share the silver except for the things he initially received. ”

Zhou Qingwu nodded, "Spread my word, these people are all executed, and they will be executed immediately!" ”

Since these people have done these things in the capital, they must always give an explanation to the people.

The execution at the entrance of the vegetable market was also regarded as a breath of relief to those merchants.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the guard left, Xiao Luzi came over with a freshly brewed teacup in both hands and said, "Your Majesty, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat!" ”

Zhou Qingwu stretched out his hand and tapped the table, and Xiao Luzi put the cup on the table.

"Guo Shangshu is dead, Yue Qingshan is in prison, and it is estimated that in a few days, a result will be available." Zhou Qingwu looked at the folds on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little bored, "There are two positions missing, it seems that some people will be selected to be promoted again!" ”

As soon as the results of Yue Qingshan's trial come out, Zhou Qingwu will issue an order to raid his house, but he wants to see how much Yue Qingshan is still greedy and how much he takes!

Just make amends before he dies!

Xiao Luzi saw that Zhou Qingwu was unhappy, so he carefully comforted him on the side: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, isn't Your Majesty very optimistic about the Tanhua and the champion in this year's science exam?" The country of Li is strong, why worry about the lack of available people! ”

Zhou Qingwu nodded, but he was very worried in his heart: "Although the treasury is not as empty as it was when the country was just restored, it is not rich, if they are all like Yue Qingshan to fill their pockets, then I am afraid that this Li country will not last long." ”

He suddenly remembered that when he first returned to the country, he wanted to choose a concubine, but Wen Ye strongly objected.

I think about it at that time, I also knew that choosing a concubine at this time was indeed a matter of labor and money!

Now that Zhou Qingwu thinks back on this, he feels that Wen Ye is right.

"Your Majesty relax, with Your Majesty here, our Li Kingdom will definitely become stronger and stronger."

Xiao Luzi picked up the nice words and coaxed Zhou Qingwu to be happy, Zhou Qingwu had just received 220,000 taels of silver at the moment, and he was happy to listen to it, so he didn't mention it anymore.

After a while, Zhou Qingwu approved the fold, and then ordered Xiao Luzi: "Let's go!" Go to Qinyang Palace. ”

Xiao Luzi immediately went out to prepare a sedan chair, and on the way to Qinyang Palace with Zhou Qingwu, Xiao Luzi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really attentive to Concubine Lan, if Concubine Lan knows that Your Majesty went to Qinyang Palace after being busy, she will definitely be very happy." ”

Zhou Qingwu smiled, Zhang Ruolan seemed to be very easy to satisfy him, at least in his heart, it was different from the previous Concubine Xian and Zhen Lianhua.

In her eyes, she didn't seem to care whether she was the emperor or not, and that kind of attitude of taking him first was also his favorite.

It's just that Zhou Qingwu doesn't know, how long can this posture be maintained?
