Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...Putting down the teacup in his hand, the head of the Yue family asked tentatively: "Do you know everything about the royal capital?"
“Not necessarily, but I know a lot.”
Ming Zhaoyuan did not lie, he really had established some intelligence networks in Nanyun Country, which were specifically used to inquire about sources of goods and customers.
Later, for the sake of family business, he gradually inquired about the privacy of some aristocratic families. He inquired about the Ye family, the Yue family, and the Jun family, but he did not inquire about his own family.
But the person who killed his daughter was his closest blood relative.
It's ridiculous.
He just started to inquire now, but it was too late. His daughter had died and his wife was still suffering in the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
You can find out some things about the open things, but it is almost impossible to find out what is happening in secret.
My father is a very cautious person, and generally he would not leave any evidence for others to use. Moreover, the eldest brother of the Ming family is ruthless and would ruthlessly erase all traces of what he has done.
No matter who was involved, they were all wiped out, even women, children, the elderly and the young were not spared.
"You know a lot?" The Yue family's head's expression eased a little, and he asked nervously, "What do you know about our Yue family?"
"Do you really want me to tell you?" Ming Zhaoyuan stared at the tea and slowly moved his eyes upwards. He paused, "Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's just talk about a big thing that the Yue family did recently."
The head of the Yue family felt depressed. Could it be that Ming Wu knew about their family raising a bat king? No way? The place where the bat king went was very far away from the capital. How could his ears be that long?
But that was the only major thing that happened at home recently, nothing else.
"What's the big deal? Tell me about it." The head of the Yue family gave a fake smile, but his hands under the tea table were shaking slightly.
Ming Zhaoyuan told everything he knew without hesitation.
"The patriarch sent out the demon he raised to attack Dongsheng's imperial master a few days ago, but failed and the demon disappeared without a trace."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the head of the Yue family widened instantly, and he looked at him in disbelief: "You even know this? Then do you know how the creature I raised was defeated? Where is Dongsheng State Master now?"
After being asked several questions in a row, Ming Zhaoyuan frowned slightly: "I can answer anything the master wants to know. Dongsheng State Master is very powerful and not an ordinary person can subdue him.
The things you raise will most likely escape. If they don't run away, they will have only one end, and that is death. I actually know where Dongsheng's imperial teacher is now. She has come to the capital and opened a snack shop on East Street."
"What?"
The head of the Yue family felt terrible. He didn't expect that the Dongsheng State Master was so bold that he came to the royal capital openly and opened a snack shop in the East Street where every inch of land is worth a lot of money?
How come he didn't receive any news? Could it be that Ming Wuhu said that?
"Is what you said true?" The head of the Yue family was skeptical.
Ming Zhaoyuan smiled and said, "I don't like to talk nonsense. The snack shop opened by the national teacher is called Xiaojin Snack Shop.
There was a very pretty girl inside, and my second brother would visit almost every day, if for no other reason than to take a look at that girl. "
The second son of the Ming family is a playboy, who flirts with cats and dogs all day long and flirts with decent women. This is no secret in Wang Bu, and everyone knows it. But no one has ever mentioned this in front of the head of the Yue family. Ming Zhaoyuan is the first one.
I didn't expect Ming Wu to explain the second so directly. After all, they are brothers. Even though there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, it is simply inappropriate for him to say such things so carelessly in front of outsiders.
In the past, Ming Zhaoyuan would never have made his family's disgrace public.
Now! I feel that there is no need to hide these things that can be seen by everyone for the Ming family. There is no point.
Although he didn't know what the national teacher wanted to do, he knew what his second brother wanted to do.
The little girl named Jinglan was very pretty, but unfortunately she was aloof and arrogant. No matter how much the second brother tried to please her, he couldn't win her over.
Probably in a few days, second brother's patience will run out and he will probably take action. I wonder how the national teacher will deal with second brother.
These are not his concerns. What he needs to worry about is how to obtain evidence, bring down the Ming family, and rescue his wife.
"Your second brother is just that kind of person. He can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman." The head of the Ming family said perfunctorily.
Ming Zhaoyuan nodded slightly: "Yes! He can't move his legs when he sees a beautiful woman. Second brother is careless and doesn't care about anything. He just throws himself on women every day."
The head of the Yue family didn't know how to respond, so he asked a more pointed question: "Why would Dongsheng State Master, at such a young age, want to open a snack shop in the capital? Is she here to gather information?"
"No, as far as I know, she is here to take back the three states and six prefectures."
Ming Zhaoyuan did not hide Chu Xiaoxiao's intention at all. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. That baby was not an ordinary person at all and did things in a very special way.
"She is an extremely interesting person. She wrote a sentence on every piece of paper that wrapped the snacks: Three states and six prefectures are Dongsheng's territory, and Dongsheng must take it back."
The head of the Yue family widened his eyes again: "She dares to do this? Isn't this a blatant provocation to the national prestige of Nanyun Kingdom?"
Ming Zhaoyuan shook his head: "I don't know about that, but her dim sum shop is doing good business. The dim sum they make is really special and many people buy them."
Chu Xiaoxiao: “…”
That was a cake recipe that I spent a lot of time and effort to come up with. It would be strange if it didn't taste good.
"These bastards are so unreasonable that they disregard the national prestige just for a bite of food."
"National prestige?" Ming Zhaoyuan asked calmly, "What is the national prestige that the master is talking about? Playing rogue? Refusing to return the land and city that originally belonged to Dongsheng?
How could the owner of the house refuse the deed of return signed by the king? Did the owner of the house think that he could persuade the king to return to the right path? Was he a traitor? Was he a mean person?
Patriarch, don't forget that Dongsheng State Master's trip is not just for the three states and six prefectures. How powerful was the high priest in the past, what about now? The high priest was defeated by her, let alone the patriarch?
Why doesn't the demon you raised dare to show up? Does the head of the family still not see the situation clearly? The final result of refusing to return the three states and six prefectures to the king is a war between the two countries. The head of the family wants to drag the people of Nanyun into the mouth of the warring beast by himself? "
The head of the Yue family looked at Ming Zhaoyuan in surprise and was very angry: "Are you from Nanyun or Dongsheng? Why do you always speak for Dongsheng?"
Ming Zhaoyuan retorted, "Ming Wu is not speaking for anyone. He just stood in the middle and said a few fair words. If the head of the family doesn't want to hear it, he doesn't have to listen.
Ming Wu just wanted to give the head of the family a piece of advice: a man who knows the times is a hero. Things are different now and Dongsheng is no longer the Dongsheng of the past.
Nanyun is no longer the Nanyun of the past. With the departure of the high priest, the royal family will become increasingly powerful. It is impossible to replace him."
After saying this, Ming Zhaoyuan stood up, bowed, and left calmly.
