Chapter 178 Night Visit to the Inn
At nightfall, Shangguan Wei and Xiaobai appeared on the roof of a main courtyard, one man and one fox walking on it recklessly.
Xiao Bai's face showed a little worry. "Master, who are you trying to kill on such a dark and windy night? Xiao Bai is telling you that committing too many murders is not a good thing."
"Don't worry, I won't kill anyone. I just want to confirm one thing."
"Hey! What's going on?"
"Let's talk about it when we get there. Her residence should be there."
"Who is it that actually wants the master to do it himself?"
After walking for half an incense stick of time...
Shangguan Wei stood on the roof of the big house, then lifted a tile and lay on the roof. "It's this Princess Sang. She has obviously turned into a pool of blood, but today I saw she is still alive. Either she is back from the dead, or someone is pretending to be her."
Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes and looked down, "Master, I can guarantee that she didn't disguise herself. It's impossible for her to turn into blood and come back to life. There must be someone else who died."
"No disguise, are you sure?"
"Yes, Master. Xiaobai's scanning eyes are 100% correct. You can also ask Red Wolf to come out and check it out."
Shangguan Wei sighed helplessly, "Alas, the red wolf ate too much and has now transformed into a cocoon. I don't know when it will be able to break out of the cocoon."
"In that case, Xiaobai should do a good deed and kill her to prevent her from doing evil again."
"We just came here today to question her. If we kill her at this critical moment, we will definitely be criticized and unreasonable. Then Tianxin will use this to make things difficult for Tianlan, and it will be difficult for my husband and father to deal with it."
"Well, the master has changed and is more considerate of others. What should we do if we can't kill him?"
"You should pay more attention to their movements recently. If they do something bad again, we can take them down at once."
"Okay, leave it to Xiaobai."
Xiaobai flicked his tail and accidentally hit the tiles, making a noise. Gong Mingyue, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, suddenly looked up at the roof with a serious expression and shouted loudly, "Who, who is up there?"
He blew the whistle and ordered, "Find them out. Don't let anyone go."
As soon as these words came out, a group of secret guards outside the window flashed onto the roof and searched around, but found no trace of people. They turned around and flew down to the ground, where Gong Mingyue stood on the steps under the eaves.
He examined the secret guards in front of him and asked, "What's going on up there? Did you see any human figures?"
The secret guard stood up, bowed and said respectfully, "Princess, there is nothing wrong. There are only fallen village branches on it."
Gong Mingyue looked up at the roof and waved his right hand, "I understand, you can leave now."
The secret guard bowed and said yes, then jumped up and disappeared into the darkness.
Gong Mingyue's lips curled up, "Humph! He must be here to test my strength. If anything happens to me, Tianlan Nation will be involved."
She turned her head and looked at the four maids opposite her. "Go and prepare hot water for me to take a bath. I am tired from running around all day."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness."
……
In the space, a man and a fox sat on the sofa in the villa, staring at each other, then sighed and lowered their heads.
"The master was almost discovered. The bird princess was prepared."
"She calculated that someone would come. Let's go back to the palace."
"Xiaobai won't go out with you, so go ahead."
"Well, I'm leaving. See you another day."
……
In just a few days, the Dragon Ball Commercial Building and Dream Island were crowded with people, attracting businessmen and tourists from all over the world, and the revenue generated exceeded Tianlan Kingdom's income in the previous year.
At the morning court meeting, Situ Chong piled boxes of gold in the center of the main hall. The open boxes emitted a dazzling golden light. They were like golden castles, solemn and gorgeous. Each piece of gold flashed a unique light, reflecting each other, dazzling the eyes.
The golden color permeates the air, as if filling the entire space with a layer of luxurious atmosphere.
"Father, this is what Weier handed over to the national treasury. She said it was not enough and sent it to the palace for you to spend as you like."
Situ Yuan looked at the glittering gold, his hands trembling with excitement, and laughed out loud without any image, "Hahaha, Prince Sheng and his wife have my heart, there is drought in various places, and the national treasury needs a lot of money. You have made a first-class contribution, and I will definitely reward you well. Tell me if you need anything."
Situ Chong cupped his hands and said, "Father, Wei'er wants the wasteland in the western suburbs. I hope you can give it up."
Situ Yuan waved his hand and said, "I approve. You can take the wasteland in the western suburbs. I guess Sixth Daughter-in-law has thought of a new use for it."
"Reporting to the Emperor, Weier wants to benefit the people by building schools, hospitals, and automated plantations in the western suburbs. The school can train talents in all walks of life, the hospital can provide the people with comprehensive medical services, and the plantation can solve the employment problems of the people."
Situ Yuan's eyes sparkled, "Haha! Sixth daughter-in-law's idea is very good. This is a blessing for the country. I fully support it."
"Thank you, Father. Wei'er will definitely not let you down."
"Sixth daughter-in-law is smart and capable, Chong'er is calm and steady. I believe in your abilities."
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Luo stepped forward with a sullen face, folded his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. I think this is inappropriate. It will affect the education of the private school and undermine the rules of the pharmacy. The plantation is nonsense. Although it can solve the lives of the people, it will make the aristocratic families lose face, causing them to resent and alienate from Your Majesty."
After he finished speaking, he glanced around. Several university scholars and imperial censors quickly stood up and advised against it with sad faces.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The Grand Tutor is right. The major families have done their best for Your Majesty. If a rift occurs, it will cause damage to the foundation of the country."
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The foundation of the country cannot be shaken."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
……
Situ Yuan's head was buzzing, and he shouted loudly, "Shut up, all of you. When I needed money, what were they doing? They all cried poor. I have made up my mind. Anyone who dares to object will retire early. It's time for some fresh blood in the court."
Suddenly, the Grand Secretary and the Imperial Censor were so frightened that they froze in place, lowered their heads, shut their mouths and stopped talking.
Situ Yuan looked at Grand Tutor Luo and said, "Grand Tutor, you are old and the old ways are no longer suitable for the court. Some things should be handed over to the young people. The Crown Prince's condition has not been satisfactory recently and he is not up to the task. I hope you will pay more attention to him."
Master Luo lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said with a cupped hand, "Yes, Your Majesty, this old minister will do his best to teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Well, if there's nothing else, let's go back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Master Luo returned to his seat with a breath held in his throat, glanced at Situ Chong with resentment, and cursed him in his heart.
Situ Yuan glanced at everyone and said, "This matter has been approved. Does anyone have anything else to report?"
Minister Nong stepped forward, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report."
"What do you want to say? Don't be hesitant."
"Reporting to your majesty, Beijiao Village is suffering from a serious locust plague. The local people are calling Princess Longzhu a disaster star. The reason is the locust plague that was caused by the opening day of Longzhu Commercial Building."
