Chapter 129: The Truth Revealed
When Liu Muzhi received the order to go to the palace with a spring breeze on his face this day, Qing'er already felt that he would not come back if he went. She has already handed over all the evidence here to the young master, and presumably Lord Lin has also sent these things to the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor would not have sat on Mount Tai like a person who had nothing to do when he learned that something had happened. Today, the emperor suddenly called Liu Muzhi into the palace, and he should finally be going to shoot at this Lord Liu. And she, too, it's time to leave.
After Liu Muzhi left, Qing'er began to pack her bags. As far as the eye can see, the room is full of valuable objects, the delicate dresser is either rouge gouache or beaded hairpin rings, and the wardrobe is full of silk and satin that Liu Muzhi bought for her, and the new ones are as if they have not been worn. After looking around, Qing'er sighed softly, as if she was a little lonely and a little stunned.
Qing'er's real name is actually Ning Qiu. Her parents died when she was a child, and she was later sold by her uncle and aunt to a flower house and forced to become a prostitute. Later, because of fate, he inadvertently saved the life of a master of the rivers and lakes. Later, in order to repay the favor, the man robbed her out of the flower building, and never lived the life of leaning on the door and laughing again. The two of them have been adrift on the rivers and lakes for several years, and Ning Qiu has also learned a trick to point points, and she can be regarded as a heroine. But there were unforeseen circumstances, and that person was finally killed by the enemy, and she was left alone. It happened that the Zhanjia Dart Bureau was recruiting people from all over the world, so Ning Qiu had the heart to give it a try. Although the Zhan family did not have a female dart master in the past, the young master of the Zhan family appreciated her acupoint kung fu very much. As a result, Ning Qiu became the only female dart master in the dart game.
Just half a year ago, Zhan Shaofeng suddenly called her out alone, saying that he had a special and important task to be given to her. Ning Qiu was eager to try, but who knew that the task was to ask her to return to the flower building. Naturally, she didn't want to go. But after Zhan Shaofeng's explanation, she knew that this task was extremely critical to the Zhan family. Ning Qiu hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to the matter, but she asked to be promoted to dart head after the matter was completed. What is it to be a female dart master, to be a dart head to command a group of big men, that is the ability. Zhan Shaofeng readily agreed to this request. In his opinion, if Ning Qiu can successfully complete this task, it means that she is capable enough, and she deserves to be a darthead. So Ning Qiu left for the capital, and resumed his old business in the flower building that the young master had arranged a long time ago, and soon hooked up with Liu Muzhi.
Ning Qiu knew that in addition to her in this mansion, there was actually another secret pile, that is, the eyebrow next to Miss Scarlet. But as her maid, she can only go around the periphery. And that Liu Muzhi is cunning and cunning, if he can't stay by his side, it will be difficult to get any news. But with that eyebrow's temperament, it seems a little reluctant for her to seduce Liu Muzhi, maybe she will accidentally show her stuffing. Sure enough, when Liu Muzhi said that day that she wanted to take Na Mei'er as a concubine, she showed her skills in a panic. In fact, the reason why Zhan Shaofeng chose Ning Qiu to enter Liufu was precisely for this reason.
Because of Liu Muzhi's pampering and unguarded love for Ning Qiu, Zhan Shaofeng already knew everything about his actions of stockpiling goods in advance. Even if Liu Muzhi was going to sell these medicinal materials to him at sky-high prices next, he had already foreseen it. All he did was wait for Liu Muzhi to jump into the big pit he dug step by step. Because for Zhan Shaofeng, it is nothing to defeat the Liu family only in business, what he wants is the emperor's abandonment of the Liu family, so that Liu Muzhi's reputation will be ruined, and he will no longer be able to do royal business, which is considered a complete victory.
Those account books earlier, Lin Mubai could have submitted them early. But he was stopped by Zhan Shaofeng, because he knew that Liu Muzhi would never be satisfied with just knocking on a little bamboo pole and finishing the matter. So he asked Thrush and Ning Qiu to continue to pay attention to Liu Muzhi's next move, collect all the evidence, and hand it over to the imperial court at that time. If you can let him fall harder, why not let him plant harder?
After Thrush came back that night, Zhan Shaofeng had been skeptical about the news she had brought back. With his understanding of Liu Muzhi, that person would never be so careless, and the brothers of the Zhan family dart bureau were not so easy to be rebelled against. Immediately afterwards, he received a message from Ning Qiu that night, saying that the thrush's escape was deliberately done by Liu Muzhi. This made Zhan Shaofeng even more convinced of his conjecture, that Liu Muzhi was really using the thrush to release false news, so that he could remove the person from the dart game.
If Liu Muzhi's conspiracy is exposed, he will definitely not stop there. Instead of waiting for the branches to happen along the way, it is better to plan and let Liu Muzhi finish this scene well, and at the same time ensure the safe delivery of the goods. So, under the cover of Lin Mubai and Guanyun, Zhan Shaofeng pretended to be the person who hurriedly replaced the dart board overnight, but secretly quietly replaced the goods. In other words, what those officers and soldiers escorted all the way was only a batch of inferior medicinal herbs mixed with grass. The real goods had already been quietly rerouted under the escort of the Zhanjia Dart Bureau, and were sent to the southern Xinjiang battlefield day and night.
At the same time, Lin Mubai also prepared a secret fold, attached all the evidence and physical evidence collected by Zhan Shaofeng, and personally brought it and met the emperor to discuss the matter. Therefore, when the city was full of rumors, the emperor left those impeachment excerpts in the middle. When it was confirmed that the medicine had arrived in the army, the emperor brought out Liu Muzhi, who had been in the dark.
In this way, under Zhan Shaofeng's plan, things have developed step by step to the present.
Without any accident, Liu Muzhi was stripped of his official position and confiscated all his property by raiding his home. Even though Concubine Chen pleaded hard, she still couldn't get the emperor to take back her fate.
Originally, the emperor was a little selfish, but after the fact, he lost his anger, and still wanted to keep Liu Muzhi's life to preserve the dignity of the four princes. But Lin Mubai seized this opportunity to chase and fight, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, he quickly united a group of officials to jointly impeach Liu Muzhi, shaking out the illegal things he had done over the years by using his identity as an uncle, and even brought out the case of the third prince who was almost assassinated that year, which caused a storm in the city for a while. Under such pressure, the emperor also had to punish Liu Mu according to the criminal law. As for Concubine Chen, although she was not implicated in any crimes, such a major incident happened to her mother's brother and the destruction of her ancestral foundation, which was also a heavy blow to her.
The Liu family, who had been in power for a while, fell like this. At the same time, because Zhan Shaofeng did a very good job in this matter, the emperor specially designated him to be responsible for the transportation of important materials such as grain and grass in the army. Since then, the wealthy Jiangnan Zhan family has finally obtained the status of imperial merchants, laying the foundation for their future commercial hegemony.
