Chapter Fifty-Seven: Dragon's Heart

Now that the war is tight, coupled with the floods, the people are displaced, and I am afraid that the emperor is also worried about food and salary.

At this time, it was not enough to rely on the silver taels of the people alone, and relying on the donations of the rich and noble families was far from reaching the expected amount.

The only way to do that is to use a faint move.

The method she said was not exactly to intimidate Du.

As long as the people around the emperor have enough brains, this method will definitely be able to be thought of.

Raiding homes and punishing corrupt officials is the quickest way to get money.

The reason why my father-in-law was in such a hurry to enter the palace was that I was afraid that I would think of it with her.

If the emperor really adopts it, within two days, there will be news from the court.

The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has a bad record, and if they don't want to raid their homes and destroy their homes, they will have to do something about it.

As long as the people on the side of the Marquis of Zhongyong are not all fools, then her dowry will come back soon.

Really.

After lunch, Xuan Guogong came back happily.

Lu Qingrong was in Songhe Hall, chatting with the old lady.

As soon as Xuan Guogong came in, he laughed heartily twice, and then explained.

"Qingrong, I have already told the emperor about the thing you said, and the emperor also thinks this method is feasible."

"Father, I just wanted to scare the eldest aunt, but you took it seriously and really told the emperor."

Lu Qingrong said politely, in fact, she didn't want to give the court an idea, she just wanted to scare the Du family.

I didn't expect the Xuanguo Guild to take it seriously, but now it seems to be a good thing.

Xuan Guogong hurriedly waved his hand and gave Lu Qingrong a thumbs up.

"Don't be modest, your method is indeed good, the emperor has sent someone from the Criminal Department to investigate, and there will be news in a few days about the evil things done by the noble family." Xuan Guogong sighed and said, "I'm afraid that in the near future, the various forces in the capital will change again." ”

The noble family represents more than just one family, and because of the relationship of marriage, it involves all aspects, and it is not so easy to completely eradicate a lord's family.

It is very likely that the whole body will be affected by a hair, and the slightest carelessness will cause trouble, so it is better not to participate if it is not necessary.

Lu Qingrong wanted to remind Xuan Guogong not to let more people know, and he told the emperor about this idea.

But after thinking about it, my father-in-law is not a fool, and he should know this kind of thing.

Xuan Guogong looked at this daughter-in-law with more and more satisfaction.

The old lady listened for a while, and finally understood, it turned out that Lu Qingrong gave Xuan Guogong an idea, and Xuanguo Gong went to tell the emperor again, and now the dragon heart is happy.

Immediately a little dissatisfied, "You father-in-law, your daughter-in-law gave you a good idea, why can't you find the person who assassinated your daughter-in-law?" It's been so long, why hasn't there been any news at all? ”

Speaking of the person who secretly harmed Lu Qingrong.

Xuan Guogong's face also became ugly.

The power of the Xuanguo Mansion in the capital is also monstrous, and so far, no one has been able to find out who wants to harm Lu Qingrong.

It's kind of weird.

The assassin who sold sugar gourds woke up and bit the poison in his teeth and committed suicide by taking the poison.

The modus operandi is obviously a dead man.

It is definitely not easy to train a dead soldier, you must know that it not only costs a lot of money to train a dead soldier, but also a lot of energy.

It's definitely not something that ordinary people can raise.

Qingrong's exit from the mansion was purely a coincidence, how could the other party be so accurate?

If it weren't for Jingyang, who happened to be nearby, I was afraid that Qingrong would be more auspicious now.

"Qingrong, I've been investigating the incident of your assassination, but this matter is a bit complicated, and I don't have a clue yet, I'll definitely give you an explanation after a while."

Lu Qingrong didn't say anything, but the old lady looked at Xuan Guogong with slightly sideways eyes.

It's been a day and a night.

According to Nie Ji's ability, even if the other party is a martial arts master, he should find out.

How did you end up at a loss now?

The only explanation is that the person who secretly harmed Lu Qingrong is not simple.

The old lady hesitated slightly, and her eyes changed when she looked at Lu Qingrong.

Everything about the granddaughter-in-law in the boudoir, they investigated it clearly.

Never had a grudge against anyone.

Who was secretly harming her?

Lu Qingrong was also very curious and anxious about the person who wanted to harm him secretly, but at the moment, the matter of the court was more important.

As long as the murderer is still around, sooner or later he will show his feet.

There's no rush right now.

"Father-in-law, don't be busy with these little things when you are busy with the government, leave it to the people below, the most important thing at the moment is the affairs of the court."

Lu Qingrong was able to be so considerate of himself, Xuan Guogong was very pleased, and he was even more determined in his heart that he must find the murderer as soon as possible, no matter who wanted to harm her, he would not sit idly by.

Lu Qingrong soon retired, and Songhetang was instantly left with only the old lady and Xuanguo Gong, a mother and son.

"Didn't you catch an assassin? Why can't I find out until now? Are you struggling? ”

The old lady suddenly put away the loving smile on her face and asked seriously.

Xuan Guogong frowned, took a sip of tea and pressed it, "Mother, I can't hide it, this matter of Qingrong is a bit complicated. ”

"Complicated?" The old lady's voice changed, "How complicated?" ”

"Mother should know about the dead."

"Most of the dead soldiers were knights in the rivers and lakes, for the sake of glory and wealth or to repay their kindness, they worked for the princes and nobles, mainly engaged in assault and assassination missions." The old lady paused halfway through speaking, "Could it be that the person who assassinated Qingrong turned out to be a dead man?" ”

The old lady's face changed suddenly, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be twisted together.

Seeing Xuan Guogong nodded, her face was even more solemn, if that killer was really a dead man, then things would really be difficult to handle.

In the Dayu Dynasty, only the princes and nobles will cultivate the dead, but the dead are very precious, if they don't encounter extremely special things, few people will sacrifice the dead to kill people.

The only ones who can casually take out a dead soldier are the royal family.

Could it be that the complexity that Nie Ji said was because the dead man had a relationship with the royal family?

"Mother, the dead man was originally just a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and he often walked around the rivers and lakes for so many years, no one knew what kind of dead man he was, and it was a little difficult to investigate, but I found out that the brother of this dead man had committed a murder case, and he should have been beheaded but was pardoned, and my mother should know that the only person who can pardon the prisoner is the emperor, that is, the people around the emperor."
