"Congratulations, mayor, and congratulations, miss."
Luo Xue Ning or Feng, Luo Xia was the first person to react. She realized that her young lady's identity was different now.
Luoxia was happy from the bottom of her heart, so naturally, she didn't notice the strange expressions of the other people present.
Among the people present, some were eager to try and try to please Luo Xue Ning, some were self-conscious about their status, and some had jealousy written all over their faces. Luo Xue Ning was indifferent to all this and just took in everyone's expressions.
She never cared about what others thought, and the title of county lord was obtained by her undercover work in a dark organization, using her own safety as a bargaining chip, and her own wisdom and ability. Naturally, she took the title with a sense of righteousness.
Back in her own courtyard, Luo Xue Ning took out a handful of golden melon seeds. Although she was a seal, she didn't have much in stock. This handful of golden melon seeds was given to her by Prime Minister Luo years ago. Luo Xue Ning had never been willing to use them up. This time, she took the opportunity to give all of them to the servants, which could be regarded as sharing the joy and congratulations.
The servants naturally congratulated them repeatedly and were extremely grateful to Luo Xuening.
Since the undercover agents sent by the eldest lady were sent away, those who remain in Luo Xuening's yard, although not all of them are Luo Xuening's confidants, are also trustworthy people.
Well, the way to subdue the enemy is to use both kindness and punishment. Luo Xuening used this method very skillfully.
However, it was said that six medicine bowls were smashed at the eldest lady's place. The whole kitchen was very nervous, complaining while boiling medicine for the eldest lady.
Therefore, when Luo Xuening heard about this, she said, Madam, don't stop, once you gather seven of them you can summon the dragon.
The night was slightly cool. Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, despite the seemingly peaceful exterior, some people were ready to make a move.
Prime Minister Luo sat alone in the courtyard, his eyes thoughtful. He was waiting for someone.
A breeze blew by, causing Prime Minister Luo's hair to flutter slowly in the wind. But in the blink of an eye, a tall figure appeared in front of Prime Minister Luo.
Prime Minister Luo stood up and bowed respectfully to the visitor: "Your Majesty."
"Prime Minister, I have done what I promised you."
Long Moxun had a blank expression on his face. He moved a chair and sat down as if he was familiar with everyone. Wherever he went, he was the boss.
Prime Minister Luo bowed, his eyes flashing with some inquiry: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The transaction between them was Luo Xuening's business.
In fact, even if Prime Minister Luo did not make this request, Long Moxun would have done it himself. It's just that at that time, Prime Minister Luo took the initiative to find Long Moxun, and he took the opportunity to sell the Prime Minister an advantage, so he thought of this method. In this way, he could also give Luo Xu Ning some practical benefits. Prime Minister Luo knew very well that Luo Xu Ning would face many difficulties along the way in the future, and she could only work hard on her own and not let others control her.
Being an undercover agent this time was indeed extremely dangerous, and Prime Minister Luo was also very worried. However, at this step, Luo Xue Ning had to take it out by herself.
The Prime Minister's Mansion appears to be prosperous on the surface, but in reality, it has been controlled by the Gu family and the Empress's faction over the years. To outsiders, they have long been the party of Prince Shou.
However, how could Prime Minister Luo not know what kind of person Prince Shou is? This man has plans in mind, but unfortunately, his mind is too narrow. He can be a prince, but he is not capable of taking on a big responsibility.
But it just so happened that Prime Minister Luo married the Queen's sister. He was in the same party as Prince Shou and could not get rid of the connection. However, Luo Xue Ning was innocent. The eldest lady's personality was such that she would never let Luo Xue Ning go. He could only find a way out for Luo Xue Ning as soon as possible.
Prime Minister Luo's plan for his daughter was sincere, and it touched Long Moxun. No matter how cautious this old fox was, he was sincere to Luo Xuening.
However, although they were moved, what they wanted to talk about was different.
"I have finished my business, now it is time to talk about the Prime Minister's business."
"My Lord, I am guilty."
It seemed as if he had expected this day a long time ago. Now, hearing Long Moxun mention it, Luo Cheng was no longer as uneasy as before. He knelt in front of Long Moxun in shock and knocked his head heavily on the ground.
As early as when Long Moxun participated in the investigation of the closed room murder case, he knew that this day would come and the truth would be revealed. However, Prime Minister Luo did not expect that the one who revealed the truth personally would be his own daughter.
Long Moxun raised his eyebrows and looked at him. His eyes were calm, but the majesty that he unintentionally revealed made people tremble with fear.
"Prime Minister, when did I ever say you were guilty?"
Prime Minister Luo was stunned. This time he opened his eyes wide, and his old eyes were full of suspicion.
He was a little confused for a moment. What on earth did Long Moxun mean?
"Fifteen years ago, the murderer Zhao Wuchang robbed and killed officials of the dynasty. I remember that the case was supervised by Prime Minister Luo."
If he hadn't checked Zhao Wuchang, he would never have known that Prime Minister Luo was also involved in the case at that time.
However, at that time, Prime Minister Luo was just a minor official in the Ministry of Justice. At that time, the murder case committed by Zhao Wuchang involved a senior official, and some people jointly put pressure on the Ministry of Justice. The officials at that time had no choice but to sentence Zhao Wuchang to death.
At that time, Luo Wenwu, while supervising the case, discovered some hidden facts. When he found out the ins and outs of the matter, he could not help but feel deep sympathy for Zhao Wuchang, and he also hated those officials who did evil things.
But at that time, his official influence was weak and he was completely powerless to save Zhao Wuchang.
However, Luo Wenwu still had a conscience, so he had to release the prisoner at the last moment of execution. From then on, Zhao Wuchang changed his name and became a monk, living in seclusion in Hongshan Temple.
However, two years ago, no one knew what had provoked Zhao Wuchang to stir up trouble and commit the closed-room murder case that terrified people in the capital.
Prime Minister Luo knew that once the truth was revealed, what he had done would eventually be exposed to the public one day, and he was waiting for that day.
The glorious days are over. Even though Luo Wenwu was not involved in Zhao Wuchang's murder case, he could not escape the connection. Moreover, Prime Minister Luo also knew that he had made many enemies in the court over the years. Even if he was really innocent now, it did not mean that the princes and the queen would let him go.
He is indeed guilty, but the charge, to be frank, can be either light or heavy. But if someone takes the opportunity to accuse him, he will have no way to defend himself.
I finally got hold of something that could prove to be a threat. If I don't take advantage of the opportunity to do something, I'd be doing myself a disservice to those people who have been watching me overtly and covertly for so many years.
"According to the law, the prime minister is indeed guilty, but his crime is not punishable by death."
Just one sentence was enough to show that Long Moxun had already found out that Zhao Wuchang's murder had nothing to do with Prime Minister Luo. He had simply saved a wanted criminal of the imperial court.
However, if Zhao Wuchang was really forced to kill someone, it was understandable, and they still had a way to rescue Prime Minister Luo.
Prime Minister Luo breathed a sigh of relief. With Long Moxun's words, he knew that his life was temporarily saved.
"The murder in the closed room was originally supervised by me. I should report all the connections of the case to His Majesty. As for how to decide, I believe His Majesty will treat me well."
Long Moxun already has an idea, it just depends on whether Prime Minister Luo will cooperate or not.
Prime Minister Luo smiled cunningly and said, "Your Majesty, he still listens to the prince."
Everyone knows that the Emperor dotes on Prince Jing the most, but Prime Minister Luo sees it clearly. The Emperor not only dotes on Long Moxun, but also because of the prince's own abilities.
Prime Minister Luo felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that he had found the right person this time.
Long Moxun also understood. Not to mention that Prime Minister Luo was loyal and trustworthy, even for Luo Xuening, he would not put Cheng Xiangfu to death.
However, Long Moxun also understood that for a royalist like Prime Minister Luo, he could not betray the emperor as long as the emperor was still alive.
He has to use the store's special envoy's methods.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Prime Minister Luo solved the crisis at hand, and his smile now showed understanding. Everyone is afraid of death, and he, Luo Wenwu, is no exception. He doesn't mind. Long Moxun secretly laughed at him for changing too quickly.
"It doesn't matter. I do this all for Luo Xuening." Waving his hand lightly, Long Moxun spoke so naturally that Prime Minister Luo could not help but think about it.
"What's going on with Ning'er?"
"Because Luo Xue Ning asked me to save the Prime Minister's Mansion for her sake.
Luo Xue Ning had said such words, but, heaven is my witness, Luo Xue Ning definitely did not say them in such a situation. But, if Long Mo Xun said them now, it would be strange if Prime Minister Luo would not have wild thoughts.
"What?" Prime Minister Luo almost vomited blood. Luo Xue Ning already knew about his affairs, so she tried to trick him that day. Moreover, how could Luo Xue Ning ask Long Mo Xun for help? They went in and out together every day, what kind of relationship was there?
"My Lord, you...?"
The shock and worry in Prime Minister Luo's eyes deepened. He looked at Long Moxun, but before he could finish his words, Long Moxun stopped him with a smile.
Long Moxu smiled mysteriously, with a hint of charm in his eyes.
"Isn't this something the Prime Minister has tacitly approved?"
He left behind a strange remark, leaving Prime Minister Luo stunned, staring at his feet, and thinking in his heart: "Luo Xue Ning, that evil girl, what on earth did she do behind my back?"
Luo Xuening: “…” I’m innocent, I didn’t do anything.
