"You didn't intend to win me from the beginning, did you?"

Chen Ju opened his mouth with a smile on his face, as if he had already seen through Xiao Rui's plan, "You are very smart, is it possible, from the first time you entered the casino, have you already seen through my mind?" ”

Xiao Rui was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Chen Ju was not surprised by his reaction.

"That's it, let's talk in a different place, there are many people here, and if some things are spread, it will not be of any benefit to you or me."

Xiao Rui took Chen Ju to a teahouse, asked for a private room, and as soon as he sat down, he unbuttoned his coat, revealing snow-white fragrant shoulders.

It's just that on that white body, there are mottled scars, which are faintly visible.

Anyway, Xiao Rui is also a rich lady, who would do such a thing to her, leaving so many scars?

You don't have to think much to understand, I'm afraid that except for Xiao Rui's father Xiao Yuanqi, no one else can do this.

"My father was a traditional patriarch, so since I was born, he has always disliked me, and my status in the family is no different from those who are inferior."

"It wasn't until I became an adult that he seemed to think that I could also be used to make peace with high-ranking officials and nobles, and he had a little bit of use value, and his attitude towards me was slightly better, and I had a lot of freedom."

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly and spoke, and quickly put on his coat.

"I know who you are, I once met you by chance, when you were with His Majesty the Emperor, so ...... You should have come here on behalf of Your Majesty this time, I guessed correctly, right? ”

Xiao Rui followed up and asked.

"You're smart enough to read the situation and people's hearts."

Chen Ju didn't hate talking to this kind of smart person, from the very beginning, the other party understood his intention to come here, so that he could save himself from more trouble and explanations.

"I have long thought of this day, whether it is the king of Wei or my father...... After all, he was too arrogant and domineering, His Majesty the Emperor, from the first time I saw him, I knew that he was definitely not the kind of cowardly emperor who did nothing. ”

"Besides, I've always gambled and lost, and it may be God's will to be able to win you this time."

Xiao Rui nodded, and even got up and took the initiative to pour Chen Ju a cup of tea.

"I have only one request, if one day, my father's crime is revealed, I hope to be able to save my life."

"I have lived in the shadow of my father since I was a child, and I finally got a little freedom, and I don't want to be connected because of my father if I haven't lived well for myself."

Xiao Rui stared at Chen Ju, Chen Ju was just a small official, but in front of His Majesty the Emperor, in fact, whether he wanted to pardon or trigger himself, it was just a thought of His Majesty.

"Then it depends on what kind of information you can provide."

"First of all, about the Governor of Liangjiang......"

Chen Ju's eyes revealed a chill, he didn't care about the life or death of this woman, but since the other party cooperated with him so much, then he would definitely find a way to protect her.

"Governor of Liangjiang...... It's just a poor man. ”

"In the Liangjiang case, after all, there is the King of Wei behind him, so he alone, even if he does a lot of means, he can't stop corruption from running rampant, and in recent years, almost half of the imperial court appropriations have gone into the pocket of King Wei."

"As for the rest of the money, it has also been corrupted by officials at all levels."

"In my father's study, there is an account book hidden, as long as you get the account book, you can have ironclad evidence, and dozens of officials, large and small, are all involved."

Xiao Rui suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Ju's wrist tightly.

"If you can trust me, go to my father's study with me at night, and I can't steal the ledger by myself."

"Just leave this to me."

After hearing this, Chen Ju already had his own plans.

That night, Chen Ju took the initiative to follow Xiao Rui back to the mansion, and also took the initiative to request to meet Xiao Yuanqi.

Although Xiao Yuanqi was very stunned, he still came out to greet him in person, took the initiative to welcome Chen Ju in, and also served tea, and his attitude has always been very good, and even has a tendency to be flattering.

Unlike the arrogant King Wei, Xiao Yuanqi has always been a smart person, and he has been able to live peacefully until now, relying on his friendship with the royal family.

Therefore, he didn't want his excessive behavior to make the royal family disgusted with him, all along, the transaction with the King of Wei was carried out in private, and above the court, he even occasionally disagreed with the King of Wei, which was also a means to confuse people.

"Your Excellency is here, but at the behest of His Majesty?"

Xiao Yuanqi smiled and spoke, this guy is completely an old fox, full of cunning, and there are no loopholes in his words.

"It's just that I want to come and have a look, and Lord Xiao doesn't have to be nervous."

"After all, there was such a thing during the day, and someone could assassinate the imperial court officials in broad daylight, and it was even involved in a huge corruption case of tens of millions of taels of silver."

"I don't know what Lord Xiao thinks?"

Chen Ju asked with a smile, he sat next to Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui deliberately pulled some distance from him, as if he was hinting at his position intentionally or unintentionally.

"Xia Guan didn't know either, to be honest, when he saw that scene, he was taken aback, and fortunately His Majesty was fine, and the assassin was also caught, which is also a good thing."

Xiao Yuanqi got up with a smile and took the initiative to bring out a box of rare refreshments.

"This is made by the chef in the Xiaguan Mansion, and the Xiaguan likes it very much on weekdays, and I hope the adults can laugh at it."

Chen Ju slowly pushed open the tea box, and there were a few bright gold bars in it.

This is the intention ...... Do you want to blatantly buy yourself?

"The lower official doesn't know what he did wrong, it's just a little filial piety, if there are other faults, please give me some advice in time."

Xiao Yuanqi continued to speak, although in terms of official rank, he was many levels higher than Chen Ju, but he was completely respectful to Chen Ju.

In the final analysis, Chen Ju is from the palace, and he is also a person close to the emperor, and as a foreign minister, he also knows that no one can provoke a close minister like Chen Ju.

"That's not necessary, I came this time, and I just asked a little, not to mention, what have I done, will I be forgiven by His Majesty, I guess you know more than me in your heart, right?"
