I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 69 Amazing
[However, someone was sent to the palace to ask the imperial physician for a consultation overnight. Could it be that Gu Zexian was poisoned? ]

[Isn't there still half a month left? How come the poison took effect so quickly? ]

Chu Liuzheng was curious and couldn't help but quietly open the system.

[I just took a look...]

Hearing these words, Xiao Jingfan's brows relaxed, it's done!

——Thanks to this woman's stupidity, I finally found an opportunity to change the topic.

Chu Liuzheng was flipping through the system like a thief while paying attention to the emperor in the room.

The young man was holding a cup of hot tea, sipping it slowly with his handsome face. He had no intention of talking to her, nor did he have any intention of leaving. Chu Liuzheng simply ignored him and focused on reading the gossip related to the Gu Mansion.

[No wonder he invited the imperial physician. An official from Jiangnan knew that Gu Zexian was lustful, so he specially sent him a skinny horse from Yangzhou, hoping that Gu Zexian would show some mercy when he went to Beijing to report on his work next year.]

[Gu Zexian, the old rogue, wanted to woo that skinny girl last night, but he didn't expect that skinny girl was too strong and his own body was useless. He almost died on the woman's belly because he was too excited.]

[Wow, Miss, this poison is really powerful. The imperial physician couldn't figure it out. Well... it's just a little difficult to make. Many of the materials were obtained by chance. Miss, it's just that she was lucky to have collected them all. ]

Chu Liuzheng secretly sighed, this is the retribution for doing too many evil things in this life.

[After this incident, Gu Zexian's body is completely broken. Even with the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, he can only live for three to five days at most. If the young lady is impatient and adds some more ingredients, oh no! His soul will go to hell! ]

Xiao Jingfan fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the water and glared secretly at the woman on the bed.

——Don’t say these useless things, just look at the list!

Zhou Yuande, who was watching from the sidelines: "..."

No eyes to see, no eyes to see.

The eunuch has a lot to worry about.

Your Majesty, you are the king of a country after all. Who can disobey you when you want to do something? Why are you always sneaking around Miss Liu Zheng?

Just watch it!

Look!

[Tsk! Tyrant drinks his tea so slowly! Isn't he busy with all sorts of things? Why isn't he leaving yet?]

Chu Liuzheng also withdrew some of his attention from the system and secretly glanced at Xiao Jingfan.

She couldn't understand what this big guy was trying to do. She could only sit there and stare blankly. She might as well continue to brush the system and watch the show.

[Speaking of which, if Gu Zexian died, would the business of reselling firearms to Japan still be able to continue? ]

Chu Liuzheng dug up the previous gossip.

[Let me figure it out. The masterminds of this are Gu Zexian and the Admiral of the Armament Bureau... Uh, this guy's name is hard to recognize, Pan... Chong? It seems to have the same pronunciation as "Chong"? One of them is responsible for falsifying the accounts and secretly shipping things out, and the other is responsible for attracting allies. They work together so well. ]

[If Gu Zexian falls, among these accomplices, only Han Ruoyu, the head of the Ministry of Justice, can take over Gu Zexian's position. This man is worthy of working in the Ministry of Justice. His crisis awareness and anti-reconnaissance capabilities are quite good. If it weren't for his reminder, the transaction between Pan Chong and his group and Japan would have been discovered long ago. ]

Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but curl his lips. If he had this ability, why didn't he use it to investigate the case?

It would be a good deed if there were fewer wrongful convictions.

[Oh, I overestimated Gu Liumang. It turns out that he was able to connect with Pan Chong thanks to Han Ruoyu's matchmaking. This guy was pushed out to the public by Han Ruoyu. When encountering important matters, Pan Chong only discussed with Han Ruoyu and finally told Gu Zexian the result.]

[Gu Liumang was asked to do all the dirty work of recruiting people, while Han Ruoyu hid behind the scenes and waited for the dividends. Gu Liumang still thinks highly of himself, thinking that he is incomparable in wisdom and strategy, and nothing can be done without him.]

[Tsk tsk, if a smart person thinks he is smart, then he is not far from being stupid.] Chu Liuzheng's doubts were finally resolved.

If Gu Zexian really had the ability to sell firearms without telling the tyrant, how could he still be a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel at the age of nearly sixty? He should have been studying to become a minister or a secretary, right?
She originally thought that Gu Zexian was hiding his abilities, but she didn't expect that this guy was really stupid. The truly powerful one was Han Ruoyu.

[Han Ruoyu was also able to hold his ground. He had long known how to move up a level in his official rank, but because he was afraid of being noticed by the tyrant and being investigated by the Imperial Guards, he made minor mistakes and refused to move up.]

Xiao Jingfan silently wrote down the seven characters "Han Ruoyu, Director of the Ministry of Justice" in the little notebook in his heart.

Don’t want the Royal Guards to investigate?
Then he would let the Jinyiwei investigate this person thoroughly.

Chu Liuzheng was immersed in the melon field and couldn't extricate himself.

[Han Ruoyu was very cautious in choosing his allies. Every accomplice on this list was a person who held real power, though not a high position, and they were all short of money.]

[The first one is Ni Dayou, the deputy director of the Sibin Office of the Honglu Temple. He is in charge of receiving foreign guests and can legitimately contact envoys from other countries. I love collecting antiques, but my family is too poor and I don’t have much savings. I can’t afford to buy them.]

[The following three are Yue Cun, Li Senxian, and Yao Sixiao, centurions of the Wucheng Bingma Division. They are responsible for patrolling the city and can provide cover for those carrying firearms. These three have one thing in common: they love gambling.]

[As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambling games end in losses. How can a gambler not be short of money? But if they turn a blind eye and cover up when necessary, they can make a lot of money. Why wouldn't they join the gang? ]

[The following person is Cheng Yi, the head of the Department of Guests and Guests of the Ministry of Rites…]

Chu Liuzheng counted them one by one.

The accomplices on the list involve almost all departments, it is simply a small court.

Xiao Jingfan, who was eavesdropping, subconsciously slowed down his breathing. He didn't even care about being angry, and quickly wrote down the name of the treacherous minister in the little notebook in his mind.

This opportunity may only come once, if you miss it, you will never have it again.

Zhou Yuande noticed that the tea Xiao Jingfan was holding was no longer hot, and was about to go forward to change it for another cup, but unexpectedly he was given a deathly glare from Xiao Jingfan.

Stay still!!
Zhou Yuande: ???

Is there anything wrong with being considerate?

Manager Zhou felt aggrieved, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Jingfan couldn't take care of him for the time being, and forgot that he was still holding the tea. He was like an old monk in meditation, engraving each name firmly into his mind.

If it wasn't so inappropriate and he was afraid of being discovered by Chu Liuzheng, he would have asked someone to send him pen and ink to record it.

[Those who like to collect calligraphy and paintings by famous people, those who have emptied their family savings to buy houses and have no food to eat, those whose wives are squanderers, those whose fathers are always generous and take advantage of them, those who like to gamble, those whose relatives are too extreme and always come to ask for money, those who like to drink and listen to music... Tsk tsk, it is said that every family has its own problems. The reasons for being short of money are really varied and almost never the same.]

Chu Liuzheng went through the list one by one and was simply amazed.

[Han Ruoyu is really amazing. To be honest, it must have taken a lot of effort to accurately identify these people from among the hundreds of officials. This guy is meticulous, insightful, and proactive. What can't he succeed in? ]

[If I were Han Ruoyu, I would have to be a favorite minister in front of the tyrant. Just look at Lord Xie and you will know that the tyrant is very generous to his favorite ministers. Not only do he reward them with houses and gold, but he also gives them betrothal gifts when they marry. How face-saving it is.]

Chu Liuzheng was really curious about Han Ruoyu, and began to dig deeper into the gossip related to Han Ruoyu.

Just then a new one came out.

She glanced over and her watery almond eyes suddenly widened.

【Frog fun! The guy named Han is going to cause trouble! 】
