Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 65, Spy in Spy? Liu Hong also wants to train spies in the palace

"I married a concubine who is as beautiful as a flower, so I treat her like a treasure all day long."

Er Gouzi stammered and sobbed as he described what happened when he returned to Kyoto.

If Liu Hong hadn't injured both of his hands, he would definitely slap Ergouzi.

I want you to tell me how the news was leaked.

I’m not asking you to tell her how beautiful your wife is or how much you pamper her!

"I usually like to drink a little wine, and I can't control my mouth when I'm drunk."

"Have you told anyone about Qianlong Bay?"

Liu Hong suddenly spoke coldly.

He realized that letting Ergouzi handle the intelligence was a bad move.

I got a lot of information, but a lot of my own information was leaked as well.

"No, I promise! Big brother, if you don't believe me, you can kill me right now. No matter how bad I am, I will never complain about the wealth and glory of our brothers."

Er Gouzi’s eyes widened immediately and he quickly denied it.

"boom……"

A dagger was thrown on the ground by Liu Hong.

Ergouzi's lips kept trembling. He picked up the dagger tremblingly and closed his eyes.

"Brother! Even if I die, I promise that I never tell anyone."

He raised the dagger and was about to stab himself in the heart.

Liu Hong kicked Er Gouzi to the ground, and his suppressed anger burst out.

"You're such an idiot, did I tell you to die?"

Er Gouzi looked at Liu Hong blankly, not understanding what this meant.

"I'll give you two choices. Take the dagger home and kill your concubine. Or you can join the Overwatch Council, because I will transfer the control of the gangsters to Yang Du."

"what?"

Er Gouzi held the dagger in a daze, not understanding what his elder brother was thinking and what he was trying to do.

Then Liu Hong was seen picking up the teacup, apparently preparing to hit someone.

My mind, which had been in a daze all day, suddenly became clear.

"Brother, I understand, I understand! This is the Mission Impossible story you always told us about. Don't worry! I have talent."

You have talent, mom!

Liu Hong almost swore again after being stabbed.

The gangster temper that had been hidden for a long time finally broke out today.

The matter was thus covered, and Er Gouzi left the compound in a panic, holding a dagger.

Shi Chanli came out from a corner of the study, his face full of surprise.

"Sir, is this matter just over? Er Gouzi often goes to the rich and powerful."

Liu Hong smiled faintly.

"Don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. I'm good at judging people. If Er Gouzi really changed his mind, he wouldn't have come here today."

Shi Chanli said nothing more.

If it were him, even if Ergouzi had not changed his mind, he would not have entrusted him with such an important task.

Liu Hong even handed over the woman who was clearly a spy from the Supervisory Commission to Er Gouzi, letting him deal with her himself.

What level of trust is this!
"Help me write the memorial!"

Shi Chanli picked up his pen and prepared to listen to what Liu Hong had to say.

There were no memorials that were originally expected to strike at the Qin family, or to demand huge compensation.

Liu Hong spoke in a calm tone, and didn't seem to blame anyone for this incident.

He just said that when he was handling official documents in recent days, he saw that the Yingzhou County Magistrate and the generals were colluding with each other, and some families were destroyed.

Originally, Liu Hong didn't care about this matter, but after experiencing the assassination, he still felt that he should do more good deeds to accumulate blessings for himself.

After speaking, Shi Chanli stared at the memorial blankly and couldn't help but complain.

"My lord, what is going on here?"

"Your Majesty will know."

Liu Hong didn't explain much, and his pale face showed some fatigue.

Shi Chanli tactfully left, leaving Liu Hong in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

Late at night, the light in the study was still on. Sang Wen bit her lip and tiptoed to open the door. She gently covered Liu Hong with a blanket and was about to leave.

Liu Hong suddenly opened his eyes, held Sang Wen's hand, and then quickly let go.

"Sorry, I had some stress reaction."

Sang Wen burst into tears and spoke with sobs.

"Sir, can you please take care of yourself? Sang Wen's family has been broken up once, and he doesn't want to be stranded outside again."

Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Okay! I promise you."

Just as Liu Hong expected, Emperor Qing took the memorial and looked at it over and over again for a while.

He threw the memorial to the ground casually and started cursing and laughing.

"This guy is really a bit greedy! I have already given him a gift, but he still wants the money from the officials of Yingzhou. He really wants to uproot Huang Ming's hometown people."

Chen Pingping picked up the memorial, looked at it for a long time, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

This time he didn't figure out what Liu Hong was up to.

Emperor Qing believed that Liu Hong wanted to wipe out all of Huang Ming's forces so that he could kill Huang Ming without leaving any hidden dangers.

But Chen Pingping knew that Huang Ming was not dead and was now alive and well on his way to Qianlong Bay.

But if Liu Hong was really short of money, why didn't he impeach the Qin family?

The Qin family is now the most anxious to settle the matter.

"In that case, Your Majesty, just follow his wishes! A minister can't make any waves no matter what."

"Yes! Even the Shangshu can't make any waves, let alone the Shilang."

Emperor Qing took a deep look at Chen Pingping.

The emperor and his minister began to fall into suspicion and temptation again.

He threw Liu Hong's memorial behind his mind.

Little did he know that Liu Hong was just testing the waters by killing the prefect of Yingzhou in order to gain Hong Zhu's favor.

Liu Hong also wanted to plan the palace and didn't want to be a blind man anymore.

Even though he was injured, Liu Hong had no time to rest. He took several doctors from the Ministry of War to contact the city defense troops and take good precautions at the negotiation area.

Fortunately, it is late autumn now and winter is approaching, so the wound is less likely to fester.

Otherwise, with Liu Hong running around like this, it would be a blessing in disguise if his injuries didn’t get worse.

"The prince has arrived!"

Accompanied by a sharp voice, the grand ceremony and the meticulously decorated prince's carriage slowly stopped in front of Liu Hong.

Liu Hong and other officials from the Ministry of War saluted quickly.

No matter how fierce the fight between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince is.

As the crown prince, he must perform the ritual, otherwise his life will be over.

"Hey, I'm just passing by, no need to be polite. Minister Liu, you are injured, and you still want to be so polite. I can't afford it."

This was different from the first time he saw Liu Hong in the lobby of Kyoto Prefecture, when the prince was too lazy to pay attention to him.

This time, the prince was courteous and helped Liu Hong up in a very friendly manner.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your kindness!"

Liu Hong was puzzled.

Why would the prince go to the place for peace talks if he had nothing to do? It seems that he came to find me.

It's obviously impossible to win myself over, right?
His relationship with the Qin family has become strained. If he wants to win over Liu Hong, he will definitely have to confront Mr. Qin, the number one man in the army.

"My aunt said that Minister Liu was a loyal minister to the country. Now it seems that he is indeed extraordinary."

The prince spoke meaningless niceties in a friendly tone.

Liu Hong frowned. He had not agreed to join the Junshan Society, but the princess still spoke well of him.

As a crazy woman, shouldn't she list herself among the enemies and suppress her severely at the first opportunity?
The prince saw the confusion in Liu Hong's eyes and sighed.

"Aunt has not given up on marrying Wan'er to you. After all, she really doesn't like Fan Xian."

At this time, Liu Hong's face looked quite interesting.

What virtue or ability did I have to deserve the eldest princess to value me so much and make her determined to betroth Lin Wan'er to me?

As the prince said, he was just passing by.

After saying a few words, the prince set off, and no one knew where he was going.
