Chapter 1186

The emperor motioned the eunuch to open it and quickly browsed through it. "You want to sue your father?"

Yao Zheyu bit the tip of his tongue. He had a son, and maybe he would only have one son in the future. He wanted to survive. Even if he was frustrated in this life, he wanted to live well and live hard. He had his own family and could not be trapped to death in Yao Hou Mansion.

So the last incident with Yao Yao gave him inspiration, and he also wanted to avenge his mother, even if he had to bear the disgrace for the rest of his life, he wanted to live.

Yao Zheyu said firmly, "Yes, I will sue Lord Yao."

Yao Wenqi's heart skipped a beat. What were they accusing him of? Treason? Cold sweat ran down his back. When he glanced over just now, the emperor had taken all precautions, but still failed to prevent the trick. He was not happy at all about the emperor's current condition. A rational emperor who could control his emotions could still torture him slowly. But he was really afraid that if he killed the emperor directly, he would have no way out.

The emperor did not say what Yao Zheyu had reported. Instead, he looked at Yao Wenqi's panic with amusement. He knew that this old man had a way out. He had been waiting for an opportunity by not taking any action, but he also had to see if Yao Wenqi would give it to him.

After a quarter of an hour, the emperor finally spoke, "Son suing father, have you thought it through?"

Yao Zheyu kowtowed, "I have made up my mind. My mother was murdered and I want to seek justice for her. I beg the emperor to find out the truth and allow my mother to divorce Yaohou Mansion and let me take her surname."

The emperor narrowed his eyes. Yao Zheyu wanted to take his mother's surname in order to save his life. He fiddled with the beads and looked at Yao Wenqi.

Yao Wenqi was stunned for a moment, then he became angry. Even if he hated Yao Zheyu, he couldn't take his mother's surname. "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never harmed my wife!"

The emperor signaled the eunuch to hand over what Yao Zheyu had found to Yao Wenqi, "This is evidence."

Yao Wenqi pulled him over. He knew in his heart that the evidence was real. If he couldn't react at this time, he might as well die. It was obviously the emperor who found out, but he couldn't admit it. He had to return to the Marquis' Mansion alive today. He was getting more and more anxious. "Your Majesty, it's all fake. Yao Zheyu hates me for being unfair. He hates me!"

I must return alive today.

Ministry of Revenue, Rong Enqing came with some fruit. Zhou Shuren had just approved some applications. "Your Highness is a very busy man. Why are you here today?"

Rong Enqing took the fruit and put it on the table. "I know that Master Zhou has worked hard, so I specially gave this fresh fruit to you to taste."

Zhou Shuren didn't want to eat, even though he knew it was okay, "Master Hou, eat it yourself."

Rong Enqing sat down, "Rongchuan has been out for a while, isn't your Excellency worried?"

Zhou Shuren realized that it was because Gu Ren was anxious that Rong Enqing came back to the Ministry of Revenue to pretend to get information. "Rong Chuan is working for the court. I am very relieved."

Rong Enqing whispered, "Master Zhou, our two families are relatives. You see, I have benefited, so I can't let you down."

As he spoke, Rong Enqing removed the fruit on the top layer, revealing the banknotes inside.

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes and said, "I have never been greedy for money. Are you trying to humiliate me? Get out."

Rong Enqing twitched his lips. The emperor said that he could keep the silver, and also told him that whatever he could get would be his. This was a disguised way of compensating him with money, because when the crown prince succeeded to the throne, his job would be just a leisurely one.

Rong Enqing counted the banknotes and said, "This money is easy to come by. All we need is for you to say a few words."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. The emperor knew that Pinggang would not be closed for too long. It was just to attract attention. You know, there are merchant ships from various countries coming and going in Pinggang. It will be chaotic after a long time. Therefore, Pinggang has been arranged for inspection. Merchant caravans with no problems can take the living things away.

Gu Ren gave Rong Enqing a benefit and asked him to find him, not only to inquire about the news, but also to hope that he could talk to Rong Chuan so that he could leave in advance.

Rong Enqing had already taken out the banknotes and was counting them one by one. Gu Ren was really anxious. He had found out that many people were waiting for this batch of goods and some had been severely poisoned and became ill. Gu Ren was extremely worried.

So he gave him 100,000 taels right away, and said he would give him another 100,000 taels if the task was accomplished. He took out 50,000 taels.

Zhou Shuren glanced at the banknotes. There really was money there. He was beginning to feel jealous of the rich. "Take the money back. I will pretend I didn't see it this time because we are related. Get out."

Rong Enqing smiled and said, "Please think about it first. It's not difficult. It's not Pinggang who is inspecting. I just hope Rongchuan can raise his hand and make it easier."

Zhou Shuren didn't even raise his eyes. After Rong Enqing left, he took out a piece of paper with a line of words written on it and then handed it to Jianyan.

In the palace, the emperor looked at the note in silence, and handed it to the prince beside him, "Take a look too."

The prince was not wearing the prince's clothes, but the clothes of a secret guard. There were only the emperor and the prince in the study. The prince took the note and it said, "Can I accept it?"

The prince chuckled, "Master Zhou wants to collect money!"

The emperor snorted, "He guessed that I would let him go with the flow, so he wrote the note."

The prince put down the note and said, "It seems that Gu Ren has given Rong Enqing a lot of money again."

Your Majesty, "Well, it can be considered as compensation to Lord Rong En."

The prince did not ask how much money it was. He agreed with his father's compensation and arrangements. As for Lord Rong En, he had never thought of using him from the beginning.

The emperor took a piece of paper and wrote a word, then sent it to the prince and asked him, "You should leave the palace too."

The prince's eyes were rimmed with blue. He was busy, very busy, and hadn't had a good rest for some days, especially in recent days. "Yes, I will take my leave."

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren got a nod of approval and squinted his eyes. He collected the money openly. Fifty thousand taels was not enough. Rong Enqing would come again. He had to think about it.
