As expected, the Minister of Rites had already died after swallowing the pill, and he was also dying because of the aphrodisiac he had just been given.
He has completely turned into a corpse!
Seeing his miserable appearance, many people from the Western Factory present frowned. They never expected that there was such a powerful medicine in the world.
It can make a person become an extremely powerful master in a short period of time. Even a grandmaster will suffer greatly from it, but the danger level is also included, which will only make him die quickly.
Even turned into a mummy!
Soon, Lu Yun asked his men to search the entire mansion, and finally found several letters and a secret order, which was a token.
Lu Yun was also greatly surprised by the content above. He never expected that the person who assassinated him, the Minister of Rites, was actually a minister of the Miao Kingdom! A spy of the Miao Kingdom!
how so!
The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, actually became a spy!
Maybe he was a Miao person from the beginning to the end.
That is to say, that Young Master Sun is also from the Miao Kingdom!
Impossible!
Lu Yun was completely stunned. According to his thoughts, it might be the ministers in the court or the people of the Han Empire who wanted him dead, but he never expected that it was the Miao Kingdom.
And this token turned out to be the token of the Twelve Caves of the Miao Kingdom! The Miao Kingdom has twelve caves!
In fact, it is a force of martial arts masters.
The token is not something that ordinary people can get. Could it be that the Miao Kingdom already has such a powerful elixir?
If this were true, they could mass-produce large numbers of masters to kill people, and they would be very brave even on the battlefield.
"Don't overthink it. Perhaps only a ninth-grade master would suddenly become much stronger after taking this pill, but that would only last for a short while."
"Grandmasters are rare, but wine experts are equally rare. I don't believe the Miao nation can produce so many."
Ye Jiajia comforted her from the side.
Lu Yun nodded, still a little confused!
In fact, in the past few days, he has been wondering whether the person who assassinated him could be Yang Zhong.
There seems to be no one else except him!
I have already questioned Wang An patiently. He should be honest and not lie. He originally wanted to assassinate me, but he didn't find his people.
"Forget it... All his assets must be copied, and anyone who has colluded with this Minister of Rites must be found as soon as possible!
All the ministers in the court who have a close relationship with him must be questioned one by one, and not even the slightest clue can be missed."
"yes!"
Lu Yun quickly brought these secret letters and the token to the palace and found Liang Jing.
Liang Jing was also shocked when he saw the contents of the letter, his eyes widened.
“No way!”
"The Minister of Rites is actually a spy from another country, the Miao country at that!"
"This Miao nation is not simple! Time and time again, it has something to do with them. I really don't understand why they are targeting our Great Zhou."
"After all, there's the Kingdom of Shu in between. Logically, they should deal with Shu first, right?"
Lu Yun shook his head. He couldn't figure it out for the time being.
“It seems that the Miao Kingdom is also very afraid of me and wants to kill me, but I don’t think there is any direct conflict between the Great Zhou and the Miao Kingdom.
There is only one possibility: the Miao Kingdom has reached a consensus with the Han Emperor."
"He can give up his status as a vassal state, and the Miao Kingdom is willing to belong to him, but he has not shown it yet."
When he thought of this, Liang Jing shuddered. If this was true, it meant that the Han people wanted to kill Xiao Yunzi.
Why is it like this?
Is it because of Xiao Yunzi that Da Zhou has become so powerful?
"Your Majesty, if it were a great man, I could actually understand it."
"Tell me about it."
Lu Yun casually sat next to Liang Jing and explained, "The Great Zhou should have been weakened by the Barbarian Kingdom. Even if we can win this time, the losses will be heavy."
"Or perhaps Du Ruofu could lead the Xiongnu army directly to attack our capital and conquer the Great Zhou."
"But I never expected that my appearance would change this situation. And because of me, the Xiongnu and I also signed a contract and we will not fight each other from now on."
"First of all, they must hate me. Secondly, if I die, the Queen of the Grassland might not care about the contract, and those people won't care about their reputation either."
"Besides, if I die, I won't be able to help His Majesty anymore. Anyway, they probably really are wary of me for many reasons."
"It's the same role as Du Ruofu in the Barbarian Country."
The truth is that the reason why the Barbarian Kingdom has become so powerful today is also because of the appearance of Du Ruofu, and now it has been replaced by Lu Yun.
Liang Jing sighed helplessly, frowned, and said, "Xiao Yunzi, you must be careful in the future. Don't let any accidents happen."
"We are just guessing about this kind of thing, so there is no rush."
"good."
Lu Yun didn't think about it anymore.
Two days later, the time given by the emperor to the ministers had arrived.
As mentioned before, as long as they secretly gave out a large portion of the money they had embezzled, the emperor would not pursue the matter or make it public.
After all, the Western Factory holds a lot of information.
However, the money collected this time was not particularly ideal, according to their accounts.
Many people only took out a small portion, or hid most of the stolen money in their own hands, and some people didn't take it out at all.
According to their thinking, the emperor definitely doesn’t know what the exact amount is?
We also don’t know whether they are corrupt or not. Some people just hold on to this kind of fluke mentality.
The Western Factory is indeed very powerful. It can penetrate into every place and hide as anyone.
But they also thought that the Western Factory was ultimately just something similar to a government office.
It’s impossible to cover everything!
"Your Majesty, some people still want to hide their money and don't want to take it out. They want to line their pockets. They think our West Factory doesn't have the ability to do this and that Your Majesty can't see what they are doing."
"Damn it!" Liang Jing slammed the table angrily and said, "Since that's the case, I don't think there's any need to be nice to them. Just kill all of them who didn't take the money, or who took less!"
Lu Yun shook his head. "Your Majesty, there's no need to rush. The funds for disaster relief and construction have almost been raised. Our main goal is to make an example of someone who has done something terrible!"
"Find a few more typical cases and give them some time to hand over the money as soon as possible. That way, Your Majesty won't have to worry."
"Since too many people have been killed, I'm afraid these ministers will feel a little dissatisfied."
