What she was talking about was the person behind the scenes who manipulated Fu Ningshuang into confessing in front of the emperor that day.

She handed the matter over to Li Xing to investigate.

She assigned the task of finding Cai Xujiang's family to the other three.

Li Xing first looked around.

Su Changzhao immediately understood what he meant and waved his hand: "Come up, we'll talk while we walk."

This is the palace gate, and there might be spies here. If the carriage starts moving, the chance of being eavesdropped will be much smaller.

Li Xing immediately jumped onto the carriage and got in with her.

Soon the coachman started the carriage.

The driver's name is Dingzi, and he is a trustworthy person.

After they left for a distance, Li Xing reported: "I have searched the capital for the past few days and found that many people from the border area have appeared in the capital."

The territory is located at the border between Yulong and Qing Kingdom.

There are some very primitive small tribes there, with no more than a hundred people.

The two major powers wanted to recruit them, but were rejected for many years.

It is said that the people in those tribes are accustomed to a free and unrestrained life and have no intention of becoming citizens of any country.

Su Changzhao: "So many people from the border area have come all the way to Longdu. This is a rare thing."

Li Xing: "Your Excellency, I also feel that something is fishy, ​​so I investigated and found that they seem to be here to look for someone."

"Looking for someone? Interesting, go on." Su Changzhao took out a folding fan and waved it.

"These people from the borderland have come from afar, seemingly to find their holy child."

Su Changzhao narrowed his peach blossom eyes and said, "I have heard that the Saint Child of Yujiang has the ability to control others through the air. I should have thought of it earlier."

He appears calm on the outside, but is actually very excited on the inside.

Oh my god, the Holy Child of the Territory, isn't this the Holy Child of the Territory who helped the Dog Emperor gain the physique of being immune to all poisons in the later period?

I didn't expect it to appear so soon, and the people came to Longdu. It's like a 'welfare package' delivered right under my nose.

You should know that in the original book, the Dog Emperor went to great lengths to find the other party.

When it comes to this, Su Changzhao couldn't help but complain.

She remembered very clearly that when she was following the book, that damn author had watered down the plot of this damn Saint Child of the Border by more than 100,000 words. The abusive comments in the comment section were like a vast ocean, stretching endlessly.

Because of this, she gained a lot of weight during that period.

Don't ask, I'm happy to know that.

Who made that damn author write a villain with the same name as her? Not only was he a eunuch, but he also died such a miserable death.

So when she first read the book, she was extremely dissatisfied.

Now that we know that the Holy Child of Territory is in Longdu, we must find him first.

We can’t let the people of Yujiang find the person first, if the holy child is taken back to Yujiang.

It will be extremely difficult to find it later.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the holy child?" Su Changzhao asked Li Xing.

If he wasn't absolutely sure, he wouldn't have told me so much.

As expected, Li Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I came here today to ask you, sir, whether we should kill him or not."

Get rid of him again? Li Xing, please stop acting like that gangster boss all the time. After all, the Supervisory Commission is also a government official who eats the emperor's salary.

Su Changzhao shook his head inwardly.

He said: "The Holy Child is still useful. If you find him, make sure to keep him alive."

"yes."

After Su Changzhao gave the order, he immediately felt that this was not the right approach.

Although the Holy Child of Territory is here to give you benefits, but if you don't improve your favorability with this kind of NPC, how can he give you good things?

No, I have to do this myself. No, I have to bring the Dog Emperor with me.

As usual, I do the dirty and tiring work, and he gets the benefits in the end.

Su Changzhao looked up at the sky: Oh, it’s true, such sacrifice and dedication even moved me.

So.

On the way to the court meeting the next day.

Su Changzhao made up her mind and persuaded the dog emperor to go out of the palace with her.

She had already thought of a reason, which was to understand the people's sentiments.

I thought that if I accompanied him, the Dog Emperor would not refuse.

Who would have thought that the court meeting had not yet begun, but they were just on the way to the court.

The court officials around her began to point fingers at her again.

"Have you heard? She stayed in His Majesty's Wolong Palace the whole night the day before yesterday and left at dawn."

"Not only that, I also heard that it was His Majesty who carried her to the Wolong Palace, and many people saw it!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that too!"

"The world is going downhill~"

"It's against moral principles! It's absolutely against moral principles!"

Su Changzhao didn't care at all.

Anyway, she is dressed in black, so she is not afraid of dirty water being splashed on her.

But as she approached the imperial court with a calm and composed manner, the comments about her seemed to become less and less frequent.

Instead, everyone seems to be focusing on other things.

When she arrived at where two or three court officials were gathered, she saw a man dressed as a sixth-rank official kneeling in front of the entrance to the hall.

Su Changzhao didn't care who the other person was or what he was doing, she just felt that this person was blocking her way.

Getting in the way.

When she slowly came behind the other person, she stamped her feet and said, "Get out of the way."

The voice was not loud, but it made people around gasp for this minor official of the sixth rank.

Until I heard what these people said -

"Who is this person? How dare he block the way of the Nine Thousand Year Old? Is he trying to save his life?"

"He looks unfamiliar. Does anyone know his background?"

"I know, I know. He is a new official who was recently transferred from the local area. His name seems to be... Shen Juezhou!"

Hearing this, Su Changzhao looked at the straight back of the person in front of him, with surprise in his eyes.

Oh my god, he is Shen Ning, Shen Juezhou? !

Juezhou is his courtesy name.

In the original novel, she is affectionately called the 'virtuous wife' of the Dog Emperor by readers, the first counselor, the future prime minister, and the person who will write the [Dasheng Code] in the future.

Shen Juezhou slowly turned his head, and when he saw Su Changzhao's face, he was stunned at first.

It wasn't that he was stunned by her stunning beauty, but seeing her face reminded him of the scene that happened on the street on the night of the Dragon Lantern Festival.

That night, there were many pedestrians on the street, and a carriage was rushing around and almost hit a child.

At the critical moment, he wanted to take action, but who would have thought that someone else saved the child before him.

And the brave man who was holding the child and was applauded and praised by the crowd afterwards looked exactly like the face in front of us!

Is it him?

A hint of surprise appeared on Shen Juezhou's handsome face, but it disappeared in an instant.

As a court official, he naturally recognized Su Changzhao's black dragon robe.

Dark color. Looking at the entire court, there is no one else who can wear this color and pattern except the powerful Ninth Thousand Year Old.

When Shen Juezhou thought of Su Changzhao's reputation among the people and why he was kneeling here, he immediately lost his good attitude towards Su Changzhao.

“No!”

Although he was only a sixth-rank official, he was extremely arrogant in front of a first-rank official.

He turned around and didn't take Su Changzhao behind him seriously at all.

At this time, Su Changzhao's supporters appeared.

I saw several court officials above the fifth rank surrounding him.

"Where did this blind thing come from? How dare you block the way of King Rao An!"

"That's right, but you, a lowly official of the sixth rank, actually dared to cause trouble on your first day in court. Are you afraid that your career will be too long and want to end it sooner?"

"Hahaha... I have never seen an official who was dismissed on the first day of court appearance. I am afraid he will be the first one since the founding of Yulong Kingdom, right? Hahaha..."

"Hahaha…"

These ministers attacked Shen Juezhou left and right.

They all thought that since they had helped Su Changzhao teach the other party a lesson, Su Changzhao would definitely treat them differently.

Little did Su Changzhao know that what he was thinking was: You guys better be more careful, Shen Juezhou's nickname is Shen Poisonous Tongue, and he has never lost in an argument.

As expected.

Next second.

Shen Juezhou said without even turning his head: "Aiya~ You guys are really scorpion shit."

As soon as Su Changzhao heard it, he knew what was going to happen and just wanted to laugh.

"You! What did you say!" Someone pointed at Shen Juezhou and shouted.

How ridiculous it is to have shit and piss outside the sacred imperial hall!

Shen Juezhou still said in a relaxed tone: "You can't even understand a scorpion's shit? You are the only one. No wonder the court is getting more and more corrupt, it's all because of you ignorant scums. It would be a wonder if it can get better."

"You!" Another court official was very angry.

Because Shen Juezhou was not just scolding one person, but everyone who spoke for Su Changzhao.

"How dare you, Shen Juezhou, insult an important official of the imperial court in public?"

"Important ministers? Are you important ministers? At most, you are a group of treacherous ministers who curry favor with the powerful!" Shen Juezhou said in a leisurely tone, and he didn't seem to be worried about his situation at all.

Some court officials knew that if they continued to argue like this, Shen Juezhou would only say something more unpleasant, so they changed the subject and interrupted him about whether he should poop or not, and said:

"This is the imperial court, where His Majesty and I discuss military affairs every day. How can we allow a filthy country boy like you to defile it? Someone, drag this guy away, so that he won't be an eyesore to His Majesty later."

The guards around must be more inclined towards the court officials who attend court every day, not only because they are more in number, but also because their official titles are higher.

In contrast, Shen Juezhou offended everyone on his first day in court, especially Su Changzhao, who was so powerful that even the emperor had to worship him.

Being dismissed from office is a matter of time.

It would not be surprising to see corpses left on the streets one day.

Just as three or four guards came over after hearing the news, Shen Juezhou realized that his two fists were no match for four hands. How could he, a weak man, be a match for these people?

He could only shout to the sky: "Eunuchs are in power! The court is full of slanderers! The monarch is unkind! The country is in danger!"

The guards were stunned by Shen Juezhou's passionate speech and did not dare to step forward to arrest him.

The court official who had just called the guards over was immediately furious when he saw this: "Hurry up and drag him away! Hurry up and drag him away! If you really disturb the emperor, I will make you all have your heads chopped off!"

"Oh," Shen Juezhou said again, "I didn't know that a fourth-rank court official could have the power of life and death, the power of giving and taking, and the power of speaking with golden words and jade words!"

"What nonsense are you talking about again!" the official became angry.

"I am a sixth-rank official. Although my position is low, I was selected through the orthodox process. I have not yet seen the emperor. How dare you, a fourth-rank official, step into the shoes of His Majesty and convict me! You even commanded the Imperial City Guards to harm me. You have great power and authority!"

Seeing this, Su Changzhao couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart:

Awesome, he is worthy of being called Shen Dushe, his eloquence is really amazing!

Seeing that the situation was almost over and the court meeting was about to begin, Su Changzhao was about to take action to calm the situation down when he heard a voice saying "Your Majesty has arrived"...
