Early morning court in the capital.
Chu Shengan felt a headache when he looked at the memorial presented to him.
Whenever you open one, you will find money inside.
It is said that there was a sudden heavy snowfall and the whole city was in a bad situation.
If we don't provide disaster relief for the heavy snow, I'm afraid it will lead to more disasters.
The newly appointed Prime Minister Li glanced at his subordinates behind him and took a step to the side.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
"Or is it about disaster relief?"
Chu Shengan frowned and Prime Minister Li lowered his head.
"Yes, if you don't allocate the money, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."
Chu Shengan was so angry that he laughed.
"Do you think I don't want to allocate funds?"
As he spoke, he threw the letter in his hand aside.
"The palace was robbed, the treasury was stolen, and so far no one has been able to find out for me."
"If Prime Minister Li has a solution, why don't you come and investigate how my treasury disappeared?"
Chu Shengan searched the entire palace but found no trace.
Didn't he suspect that the old emperor had handed everything to Chu Jinshen?
However, the house was searched suddenly that day, and Jin Lujia was useless and nothing was found.
Obviously, Chu Jinshen didn't have the ability to take away things from the treasury in public.
He couldn't find any clues and could only suffer in silence.
When Prime Minister Li heard Chu Shengan's words, he didn't dare to speak.
He is also an honest man, but he is ultimately not as shrewd and capable as Prime Minister Lu.
Seeing that Prime Minister Li stopped talking, the ministers below all cowered, and no one dared to speak at this time.
Make Chu Shengan unhappy.
Chu Shengan glanced at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch was about to open his mouth when a report suddenly came from outside.
"His Majesty."
"Xuan."
The man walked in with a wooden box and looked a little strange.
"Your Majesty, this is something Qi... sent. He said you must see it."
The Seventh Prince Chu Jinshen had almost become a taboo for Chu Shengan. He squinted his eyes, but couldn't get angry.
"Open it and take a look."
The person who came slowly opened the box, and when the contents inside were revealed, there was an immediate exclamation.
Prime Minister Li's eyes widened even more.
Chu Shengan stood up, and the eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "How dare you!"
The box contained Luo Jiang's head, which was delivered to him by Chu Jinshen in such a brazen manner.
The man holding the box also felt his legs tremble. How unlucky he was! How could he have encountered such a thing?
But he didn't dare to refuse what Chu Jinshen sent him.
The Seventh Prince openly accused Chu Shengan of collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country, and ordered his property to be confiscated and he to be exiled.
But in fact, Chu Shengan also wanted Chu Jinshen to look favorably upon Yuezhou and use the black-armored soldiers to guard the border of Hengguo.
It is called exile, but it is better to say that Chu Jinshen was sent to his own "fiefdom".
Chu Shengan stared at the box intently, and the eunuch next to him wanted to say something.
It was just because Chu Shengan looked so unhappy that he didn't dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I haven't brought to you."
"What are you talking about?"
Chu Shengan said this almost with gritted teeth.
"Lord Luo Jiang of Lizhou Prefecture is guilty of human trafficking and embezzlement of stolen funds. These crimes are unforgivable."
As soon as these words came out, some people in the court changed their expressions drastically.
They looked at each other and quickly covered the expressions on their faces.
Among them were Jin Lujia and the father of the Prince of Changping.
They obviously knew where their two good-for-nothing sons were.
But now, even if they are dead, they can't do anything.
If Chu Jinshen revealed them, the whole family would be in danger.
Chu Shengan was also stunned. He sat down on the dragon throne and closed his eyes.
After a while, Chu Shengan called out the names.
"Xu He!"
A general came out.
"I am here."
"I order you to rush to Lizhou and investigate for me! What exactly is going on?"
Human trafficking and embezzlement are both capital crimes.
Besides, Chu Shengan is very short of money now, and Luo Jiang's move is just adding fuel to the fire.
"yes!"
Xu He accepted it and strode out.
Only then did Chu Shengan let the eunuch leave the court.
It was not until he returned to the imperial study at the back that he snorted coldly, his anger having nowhere to vent.
Looking at the cup on the table, he picked it up and was about to throw it away when the eunuch beside him knelt down quickly.
"Your Majesty, you can't fall!"
"There's no other jade cup like this!"
Chu Shengan closed his eyes and put the jade cup back.
It has come to this...
"Go tell Lu Heyi to investigate what Luo Jiang did!"
"Especially the money he embezzled. Find a way to get it back to me."
Chu Shengan lowered his eyes, and the eunuch responded.
"yes."
The treasury was robbed and he had no extra money.
Luo Jiang was able to do such a thing, so he must have amassed a lot of wealth. If he could get it back...
Then he wouldn't have to worry about the national treasury.
Chu Shengan had a good idea, but the things that Luo Jiang dropped had already been taken away by Lu Anan.
There wasn't even a grain of rice left for him.
Outside Qingcheng Prefecture.
A carriage slowly entered Qingcheng Mansion.
Lu Heyi slightly lifted the curtain and looked outside the car.
"This Qingcheng Mansion is quite lively."
The driver smiled and said, "Of course not! Our Lord is the most magnanimous and kind-hearted!"
——Luo Jiang’s affairs have not been spread out yet.
However, a commoner following the car snorted coldly.
"What Lord Fujun? He's nothing but a stinking rat in dirty water!"
The driver was stunned and looked at the indignant people standing beside him.
Even Lu Heyi's eyes flashed with curiosity.
Along the way, he heard a lot of praise for Luo Jiang.
There are different stories about how he entered Qingcheng Mansion.
"You just came back and didn't know that Luo Jiang coveted our silver and wouldn't let anyone sell us grain."
The people grew angrier and angrier as they spoke.
"He even wanted to push the blame on the Seventh Prince. Fortunately, the Seventh Prince saw through his evil intentions."
"Punish him severely!"
Lu Heyi lowered her eyes, Seventh Prince...
Things are getting more interesting.
Lu Heyi had no plans to meet Lu Anan. He came here to do things for the Lord.
The carriage stopped casually at an inn.
Lu Heyi got out of the car and before he took two steps, a figure approached him.
"Mr. Lu."
Lu Heyi paused and gave him a look with a half-smile.
"Let's go in first."
The two men found a compartment, and as soon as the door closed, a letter was placed on the table.
Lu Heyi opened it and took a look.
"I understand. Please tell His Majesty that I will do my best."
The man nodded and left the compartment first.
Lu Heyi stood by the window with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"There is only one wise ruler in the world."
"That's the person I, Lu Heyi, submit to."
