I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 263 The tragedy of annihilation
Xiao Jingfan turned to look at Chu Liuzheng: "Can you make tea cakes?"

[That definitely won’t happen! ]

"Your Majesty, I am not an expert in this field," Chu Liuzheng bowed and said with a blushing face, "Thank you for your high regard, but I am afraid I will disappoint you."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan said to King Rui, "I remember Siyue can make tea cakes, so let her go to Jingming Palace to serve for two days."

King Rui: "..."

Why does an emperor always ask for the opinions of palace maids?

What about your cruelty and dictatorship?
Can't you just agree directly?
You are not even willing to give him a maid. Is Prince Rui your favorite brother? !
The one who was after Chu Liuzheng ended up taking him back for a month, and the counterfeit was so angry!

Chu Liuzheng felt extremely relieved.

[When Mitsuki, a secret guard who is very good at using poison, faces a mere imposter, the imposter will definitely suffer.]

[Prince Rui is still waiting in Taoran Temple for his dear brother Tyrant to come and save him. For the sake of face, I will lend a helping hand to Prince Rui! ]

[Hehe, watch me take off the fake guy's vest with my own hands! ]

Xiao Jingfan frowned when he heard this. His ninth brother didn't go to Yancheng with that witch, but stayed in Taoran Temple.

There are so many Taoist temples across the country, where is the Taoran Temple?
Just when he was thinking about how to get information from Chu Liuzheng, Chu Liuzheng came to his rescue.

[Frog Fun! A family massacre occurred in Sishui Town where Taoran Temple is located, and all 87 people were killed! ]

Chu Liuzheng was shocked. For such a big case, there was no news at all during the morning court session. It didn't make sense!
Hearing the words "family massacre", Xiao Jingfan's pupils shrank involuntarily. He was thinking the same thing as Chu Liuzheng: why did no one report this murder?

At this moment, Xiao Anzi suddenly came in with an urgent letter and presented it to the emperor.

Xiao Jingfan took it and found that it was sent by the inspector Zhang Qian. The letter was about the tragic massacre of an entire family in Sishui Town.

It was a thin piece of paper, with only a few words mentioning the specific case without any detailed description.

Zhang Qian's intention was to ask the emperor to send an imperial envoy to Sishui Town to thoroughly investigate this tragedy.

Xiao Jingfan frowned as he read the letter, partly because of the content of the letter and partly because of the letter itself.

The handwriting on the letter was sloppy, as if it was written in a hurry, and some of the strokes were almost indistinguishable. There were even a few drops of dried blood on the edges, which were so red that they made people feel uneasy.

He stared at the letter for a moment, put it into the envelope, stood up and walked to the desk to look for the memorial.

If he remembered correctly, Sishui Town was located in the southeast and was under the jurisdiction of Xiancheng. The prefect of Xiancheng was Jiang Zhou, the eldest son of Wen Zhaohou's brother-in-law, who was the runner-up in the first year of Shunguang.

It was impossible for Jiang Zhou not to mention such a serious matter as the massacre of an entire family in his memorial.

Chu Liuzheng was very conscious of being a worker, so he naturally couldn't just sit there and watch the big boss busy while he was idle. He stepped forward and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"

"A memorial sent from Xiancheng." Xiao Jingfan turned over the memorial and put it aside.

[Which xian? ]

Xiao Jingfan was busy, and subconsciously replied: "The envy of a fish by the abyss."

Chu Liuzheng was stunned.

[I don’t think I said it just now? ]

Xiao Jingfan:!

Hold on! !
He forced himself to remain calm with an expressionless face, turned his head to look at Chu Liuzheng who was standing there motionless, and frowned: "What are you standing there for? Help me find it!"

The tone was too normal and too confident, there was nothing unusual about it.

Chu Liuzheng blinked. [It must be a coincidence. After all, there are too many homophones. Tyrant, tell me which "Xian" it is so that I can find it faster.]

Successfully fooled them.

Xiao Jingfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly wanted to look for the memorials sent by Xiancheng, Chu Liuzheng still walked to the third pile of memorials and found it after just flipping through a few of them.

She didn't dare to read the contents, but saw that it was sent by Xiancheng, so she presented it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows in surprise and glanced at the third pile of memorials. "How did you know it was over there?"

Chu Liuzheng answered honestly, "To answer your Majesty's question, when Eunuch Zhou was sorting out the memorials last night, he said that the pile over there were all the memorials that had been handed in from the south in recent days. I remembered that Xiancheng was located in the southeast, so I went over there first to look through them."

Xiao Jingfan asked as he read the memorial: "How do you know that Xiancheng is located in the southeast?"

Chu Liuzheng said, "To answer your Majesty's question, my father is from Xiancheng. When I was young, I heard from him that Xiancheng would hold a river god festival every February 13th. The scene was very lively. I have always wanted to go and see it, and I have remembered it until now."

Xiao Jingfan lowered his head to look at the memorial, and after listening to what she said, he uttered a light "hmm" through his nose, which was considered a reaction.

Chu Liuzheng didn't expect the emperor to care about the family affairs of a palace maid. Seeing that the ink on the inkstone had dried up, he walked over to add water and re-ink it.

She was rolling up her sleeves and rubbing the ink stick in circles when she suddenly heard a crisp "pop" sound.

She paused and turned her head carefully.

The young emperor in a black robe threw the memorial presented by the prefect of Xiancheng to the ground. His face was grim and a storm was brewing between his drooped brows.

Chu Liuzheng's eyelids twitched.

[Frog Fun! What on earth did the Xiancheng prefect write in the memorial? Why did he make the tyrant so angry? He should just pick up his knife and kill him! ]

The emperor was angry and might find someone to vent his anger on. She did not dare to distract herself by looking at the system. She quickly walked over, picked up the memorial, and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Xiao Jingfan reached out and grabbed the memorial, and ordered with a sullen face: "Send the audience to Marquis Wen Zhao."

"Yes." Chu Liuzheng took the order and went out, asking Xiao Anzi to pass the message to Marquis Wen Zhao.

She looked back into the hall, as if she could see the emperor's rage. She couldn't help but light a candle for Marquis Wen Zhao and pray silently.

[Eunuch Zhou, please come back soon, the explosive dragon inside is about to spit fire! ]

At this moment, she deeply understood what Yuzhui meant when he said, "Without Eunuch Zhou, all the palace people in Wenhua Palace would lack a backbone."

Only Eunuch Zhou could withstand the emperor's rage with his chubby body.

Yuzhui calculated the time and decided to change the tea, so she made a cup of new tea.

Chu Liuzheng reached out to stop her and asked softly, "What kind of tea did you make?"

Yu Zhui said, "Same as before, jasmine tea."

"Change to three-flower tea, and let it cool to 50% hot before sending it over." Chu Liuzheng said softly, "His Majesty is angry now, so please move faster."

Yuzhu gave her a grateful look and Chu Liuzheng said, "His Majesty has just summoned Marquis Wen Zhao to an audience. Remember to prepare tea and snacks." Although it is very likely that they will not be used, it is always a good idea to prepare them.

"Okay, I'll prepare it now." Yuzhu nodded, carrying the tray and walked away quickly.

Chu Liuzheng let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to enter the hall to serve, he saw the palace maid Chen Bi bringing over a tray with incense cakes and tools for adding incense on it.

She stopped the man and asked him to come back after an hour.

Chen Bi raised his eyes to look at her: "Miss, you just arrived and you don't know that His Majesty usually needs to light incense when he wakes up in the afternoon. If I miss the time and make His Majesty angry, can you bear the responsibility?"
