Chapter 158 Save your reputation
"Well, that's good. Send someone to talk to the Third Prince."
"Wang De, you go, you are the only one who is trustworthy and understands my intentions."
"Yes, sir, I will definitely live up to your trust."
When the third prince saw Wang De, he smiled wickedly.
It seems that this grandparents' home is indeed~
Humph, let's see what he said.
Wang De bowed respectfully to the Third Prince. Only when the Third Prince told him to stand up did Wang De stand up.
The third prince looked at this cautious man and thought about the secret letter he had received. If he hadn't read the letter.
I really don't believe it. The letter said that the Shangshu Mansion would definitely send someone today.
Moreover, over the years, the Shangshu has embezzled a lot of money from him.
The private soldiers and generals are all the Shangshu's men.
Zeng Yuanhang finally came to his senses and realized that this man knew so many details.
I'm afraid it's someone from the Shangshu's side.
"Third Prince, I believe you already know about the events in Qingzhou County."
"There is no epidemic disease in Gyeongju County now. The cause was poisoning, and the person who was probably poisoned has also been found."
"I believe it won't be long before Zhou Yuansheng is arrested."
"I'm afraid we'll have to make plans early, Your Highness."
"Grandfather's news came really quickly. I just got the news now."
"My grandfather sent someone here. I think he cares about me very much."
Wang De glanced around and then said with a smile.
"Your Highness and the Minister are on the same page, so we must be concerned about Your Highness."
"Your Highness, you don't know that raising an army is a big job."
“Very expensive”
"Grandfather is really a master of foresight. He guessed that Zhou Yuansheng was going to be captured and that I didn't have the money to support those soldiers."
Wang De was panicking at this moment. Why did the Third Prince seem to be speaking in a strange way?
"Haha, Your Highness, you are joking. I have come to ask you, Your Excellency the Minister, and I don't know that you are short of money."
"Is it possible that Your Highness can no longer maintain the army?"
"I came here to discuss with the Minister, and I think raising an army is a big job."
"We have been lurking for many years."
"Now that the War King is not in the capital, this is our chance."
The Third Prince looked at Wang De and asked, "Do you want me to rebel?"
"Third Prince, Xuanwu Country is now in trouble everywhere, and the War King is not in the capital."
"We can take that position directly before his reputation is restored."
“Then everything will be much easier.”
"Your Excellency the Minister knows that you are mindful of the Emperor's feelings for you."
"But~ reaching that position is the most important thing."
"The emperor is in his prime, how could he abdicate?"
"Your Highness, please think about it. Besides, we don't have much time left."
"Sir Shangshu is willing to fully support you."
Zeng Yuanhang made a thoughtful expression, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
We have to find a way to keep these soldiers in our hands, but I'm afraid that old man won't hand them over so easily.
Then Zeng Yuanhang narrowed his eyes and thought, let's give his grandfather a hand.
"Then let's make a plan, but this prince has nothing now and needs my grandfather."
"The Minister has also taken these into consideration, so he will lead his troops to attack the palace directly."
"I'm afraid the imperial guards in the palace need to be sent away by the Third Prince."
Humph, the less Zeng Yuanhang does, the less he will be able to compete with the Shangshu.
Dark clouds were pressing over from the capital city, and the capital city, which had not seen rain for a long time, was shrouded in dark clouds.
But there was no rain, which made people feel extremely depressed.
The capital city was eerily quiet, with everyone staying at home and not going out.
I guess he has already sensed the weird atmosphere in the capital.
In Qingzhou County, Imperial Physician Xue pretended to save Zeng Chengze, and then pretended to save the people of Qingzhou County.
Zeng Chengze, General Liu and Xiao Shuyao are now at the gate of Qingzhou County.
"My fellow countrymen, I am the War King of Xuanwu State. The imperial physician sent by the Emperor has saved the people of Qingzhou County."
"It has also been confirmed that the epidemic in Gyeongju County was not caused by an epidemic, but by poisoning."
"Now that everything has been resolved, all the people who were originally from Gyeongju County can return to Gyeongju County."
"Princess Yongle has already started distributing grain in the city, and Qingzhou County will also reduce taxes for three years."
"The emperor is not aware of what has happened to Qingzhou County over the years. He allocates money to Qingzhou County every year."
"Perhaps everyone still has doubts. Later, I will take General Liu to Muzhou County to capture Zhou Yuansheng."
"All his crimes will be made public, and people from outside Gyeongju County are welcome to come to Gyeongju County to do business."
"We will give an explanation to the families who have been harmed."
"Gyeongju County will open its gates and welcome everyone."
"Open the city gate~"
The heavy city gates opened wide and people entered the city one after another.
Many people were driven out, but their families had lived here for generations and they were definitely unwilling to leave.
The city suddenly became lively. Xiao Shuyao and his men used the prefect's mansion to store and distribute food.
At this time, there are many people who are just filling in the numbers and different people go to receive it.
But every household has all the names registered. Even if you give a random name, Xiao Shuyao and the others have the local population record book.
Therefore, if we catch a few people who are just filling in the numbers, we just give them a verbal warning and let them go.
Everyone has selfish desires, so there's no need to make a big fuss over a small matter.
There is still a lot to do.
Zeng Chengze is currently helping Xiao Shuyao and the others distribute food.
Qingfeng walked up to Zeng Chengze and whispered a few words to him.
Zeng Chengze's brows furrowed more and more tightly. Xiao Shuyao discovered that something was wrong with Zeng Chengze.
Xiao Shuyao walked to Zeng Chengze's side and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There are changes in the capital, I'm afraid those people are going to move"
Xiao Shuyao didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go and take my second brother with us."
“He can help you”
"But here~"
"Leave it to my brother, rest assured."
"However, I'm afraid that Zhou Yuansheng and those scumbags will have to be controlled first."
"Don't worry about Yao'er. We have already sent someone to control her."
"The matters in the capital are more important. We will take care of things here and leave some things behind."
"Go back to Beijing in secret"
"Okay, I'll go find my brother and leave something for him."
After saying that, Xiao Shuyao called Xiao Yingyao to the back hall and informed him of the changes in the capital.
"Little sister, don't go. Just let your second brother and the War King go back."
"I have to go back, brother. There are many things that cannot be done without me."
In fact, Xiao Shuyao's mind is full of money and the third prince's underground palace.
There will definitely be chaos at that time, and it is only right for me to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.
In addition, it would be very dangerous for Zeng Chengze and Xiao Yingxun to enter the Third Prince’s underground palace.
So I have to go with him, "Brother, thank you for taking care of this place."
“We’ll be back when we’re done there.”
"I'm sorry you have to work so hard just after arriving here, brother!"
"I'm sorry to have made you follow me."
Xiao Yingyao rubbed Xiao Shuyao's head and said, "You have a lot on your mind every day."
"It's okay, brother. I like my life now."
"As long as I can be with my little sister."
Xiao Shuyao said with red eyes, "Thank you, brother!"
