Chapter 1638 Normal Brain

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Shuren, who had been wandering on the sea for many days, reluctantly went ashore. As soon as he stepped ashore, he was met with the gloomy face of the emperor.

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

The emperor didn’t return to Beijing?

The emperor was a little gloomy, "Finally you're willing to come back?"

Zhou Shuren, "......"

This complaining woman's appearance is disgusting.

The Queen Mother asked in confusion, "Why didn't you return to Beijing?"

Zhulan silently gave the Queen Mother a thumbs up. Look, the Queen Mother is talking about you directly. Moreover, the Queen Mother has been very carefree these days. She has observed her for several days and didn't find that the Queen Mother missed the Emperor!

The emperor felt wronged. "I want to go out to sea to find you after I finish my work, but I don't know the route. I can only wait here."

After saying that, he quickly added, "My home is where you are."

Zhulan, "......"

Zhou Shuren, "......"

It turns out that the emperor is like this in private, wow!

The queen mother looked a little uncomfortable, glared at her husband, and said, "Get in the carriage."

The emperor stepped forward eagerly, "I'll help you."

Zhu Lan and Zhou Shu Ren also boarded the carriage. As the carriage started moving, Zhu Lan whispered, "The Emperor can't leave the Empress Dowager."

Zhou Shuren, "Otherwise, why do we talk about a companion in old age?"

The carriage did not return to Pinggang, but went directly to the provincial capital, where we rested at night. The journey was quite smooth, and we arrived at the city just as the gates were closed.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhou Shuren saw the prince and was surprised, "Your Highness?"

The prince was relieved to see that his grandfather and grandmother were safe and sound, and that Marquis Zhou was also in good health. "Father has calculated the date and asked me to wait in the capital."

Zhou Shuren heard this and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Prince."

The prince carefully observed Zhou Hou and asked with a smile, "Did Zhou Hou have a good rest during this vacation?"

Zhou Shuren, "If I say I didn't get enough rest, can I get another leave?"

The prince smiled, "No."

"oh."

After saying that, Zhou Shuren turned around and went back to the carriage.

The emperor pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Since you are waiting here, the inn has been arranged."

The prince said, "Everything has been arranged. Sun'er will lead the way."

Soon they arrived at the inn. Zhou Shuren came out of the shower and met the prince. The prince looked like he wanted to chat. Zhou Shuren felt a stomachache, "Oh, I'm old and I'm not feeling well. I need to go take care of something."

Prince, "......"

The prince waited for a while but didn't see Zhou Hou, so he sent someone to ask, only to find out that Zhou Hou had already left the inn, "!!"

He is still too young.

Zhou Shuren took people shopping. He was very familiar with Jinzhou. Because it was close to Beijing, Jinzhou had undergone tremendous changes. "I remember when I left, there were no three-story buildings here."

Jianyan asked a passerby, "It was built three years ago."

Zhou Shuren, "What a huge change."

By the time Zhou Shuren returned to the inn after a walk, it was already dark. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and there were few people in the inn lobby either.

Zhou Shuren was helpless, "The prince hasn't rested yet?"

Prince, "It's still early."

Zhou Shuren stopped playing dumb and asked, "The prince is waiting for you?"

The prince gestured to make a pot of tea and said, "Please, my Lord."

Zhou Shuren knew he couldn't avoid it, so he motioned for Jinyan and the others to go and rest, then he slowly walked to the table and sat down, "What does the prince want to talk about?"

The prince said, "My Lord, please go back to the Ministry of Revenue. I will follow you to work in the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhou Shuren was stunned. He was just taking a vacation. He quickly realized, "Because of smuggling?"

The prince nodded, "The Ministry of Revenue will be very busy recently."

Zhou Shuren understood that the emperor was going to take action, but he didn't know whose house he was going to confiscate. With so many years of experience as the Minister of Revenue, he knew that confiscating property would definitely make him rich. "So the Ministry of Revenue is going to make a fortune?"

Prince, "......Yeah."

Zhou Shuren's mind was spinning. The smuggling was caught by the emperor, and the emperor personally investigated it. This means he got a lot of information. Then he asked in a deep voice, "Have you checked the military affairs?"

Prince, "I checked. Father is furious and has taken a group of people to the capital. The amount of money found is shocking to me."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "It's only been a few years."

The prince felt sad too. The navy was so powerful, but in just a few years some of them became umbrellas.

Zhou Shuren set out early the next morning. His mind was filled with the confiscation of property, especially after learning about the amount of corruption from the prince. He was determined to return to the capital to prepare to slaughter the pigs!

The journey back to the capital was safe. When Zhou Shuren parted with the emperor in the capital, he grumbled, "I thought someone would take the risk."

The Emperor rolled his eyes, "The evidence has already been sent back to the capital. What's the point of holding on to it? Even if you insist on going all the way to the end, you dare to lay a hand on the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Are you crazy?"

It was clearly just a crime of confiscating property and exiling, but why did they torture and exterminate the entire clan? Only a mentally ill person would do that!

Zhou Shuren touched his nose. He could only say what he saw on TV. "I will go back home first."

The emperor waved his hand, not to mention his disapproval.

Zhou Shuren also wanted to roll his eyes. Who was so shameless to follow him in the first place, and now he is the emperor emeritus when he returns to the capital. Ugh!

After returning to the mansion, Zhulan met several daughters-in-law and asked, "Is there anything important happening at home recently?"

Li replied, "Everything is fine at home. Nothing serious has happened. It's just that you and Dad left. The family has lost its backbone. We feel uneasy in everything we do."

Zhulan, "Just get used to it slowly. You will have to live your own lives sooner or later."

Li said hurriedly, "My daughter-in-law will live with me for the rest of my life."

Zhulan laughed. Even if they split up, she would still live with the eldest brother. It would be a lifetime thing.

The next day, Zhou Shuren went to the morning court. The palace gates were not open yet. Li Zhao came over and asked, "You are so good. Are you going on vacation or investigating a case?"

Zhou Shuren, "It was obviously the emperor who investigated."

Li Zhao has been having a hard time recently. "I've been wanting to get sick lately, but I don't dare to. Alas!"

Zhou Shuren, "I think a lot of people have been looking for you recently."

Li Zhao, "I didn't see anyone."

What would you do if you panic now?

While the two were talking, the palace gate opened and they both shut up. Li Zhao actually wanted to know more information from Zhou Shuren. The knife was hanging in his hand and he felt nervous.

After the court session, Zhou Shuren still hadn't come to his senses. Li Zhao had no mood to chat and rushed out of the palace.

At the morning court today, the Emperor enumerated the crimes of corrupt officials in the court. The evidence was irrefutable, and the Emperor was furious and ordered a confiscation of their property.

Prince, "Zhou Hou?"

Zhou Shuren came back to his senses, "Prince and I are returning to the Ministry of Revenue?"

He thought the prince would follow and have his property confiscated.

Prince, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren turned around, "Prince, please."

After returning to the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren arranged for people to go with him to search the property. Since a lot of property was confiscated, many officials from the Ministry of Revenue went there. Zhou Shuren did not bring the prince himself. Since he came to study, Zhou Shuren asked Zhang Jinghong to bring him.

In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren unexpectedly met Zhuo Guyu. Shouldn't Zhuo Guyu be in the Hanlin Academy?

Zhuo Guyu put down the account book in his hand and said respectfully: "This is the account book found during the house search. Your Majesty, please have a look at it, Shangshu."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard when he heard this. Today, the emperor summoned Zhuo Guyu to the palace. "Yes."
