I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 142: The North City Tyrant

[Wow! The civil and military officials are laughing so hard that their faces are about to break, but they are still pretending to be reserved and asking the envoys to comment on them. Tsk tsk, many envoys have turned green in the face. Be careful not to get put in a sack, adults!]

Chu Liuzheng watched the performance seriously at first... no, the rehearsal, but as he watched it he felt that it was a little lacking, far worse than what he had seen in his previous life.

So when everyone was staring at the scene, she had already paid attention to people.

[Frog fun! What happened to the black eye on Grand Tutor Yan's face? Was he beaten? Could it be that Prince Li beat him? ]

【Oh, no, it was the door frame... No, the door frame is straight, how could it possibly cause a black eye? You must be kidding... Pfft! Hahahahahaha!!!】

Xiao Jingfan frowned. The sound of the artillery fire was not as loud as the woman's laughter.

He secretly glanced at the young eunuch standing behind him. What did he see that made him so happy?
【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!】

Chu Liuzheng couldn't stop laughing in his heart, and even his shoulders shrugged twice.

[You were beaten by the orange cat raised by the wife of the Grand Master. You deserve it! I let you pull the cat's whiskers. I'm lucky I didn't scratch you to death.]

[Hey, this orange cat is still the tyrant in the north of the city, and he has many cat minions under him. Master, you have hit a wall! ]

[She can act cute and ask for dried fish, and she can chase birds, catch mice and beat the Grand Tutor. She is… no, she is a cat! The Grand Tutor was not wronged to be beaten, but she was protected by her wife and could not beat the cat. The Grand Tutor was so angry that he pulled his beard off. ]

[Hahahahaha!! No wonder I thought the Grand Master looked younger, it turns out his beard is shorter.]

Chu Liuzheng was so happy when he saw the black eyes of Master Yan that Xiao Jingfan wanted to raise his musket and shoot her to death.

Master Yan felt his ears burning and raised his hand to rub them, thinking that it must be his wife who was talking about him.

Humph, is it that he, a great Grand Master, is not as important as a cat slave?

He stroked his beard which had shortened by half. If he hadn’t picked the dried fish that the cat had been eating for half a year, he would… just… just sleep in the study for three days!!

[The one wearing the purple gold crown is the prince of Li. He looks pretty good and resembles the tyrant. The royal family has good genes. I remember that after entering the capital, he visited many officials, one of whom was trusted by the tyrant.]

Xiao Jingfan silently put the musket back on the tray and motioned Zhou Yuande to hold it farther away, lest he shoot the man when he heard the name.

[Hmm... who was it? ]

Chu Liuzheng couldn't remember it for a moment and started looking through the list in the system.

【Oh, yes! It's Zhang Daxueshi! I remember him very well. Ever since the tyrant supported the princess to divorce her husband, he has been complaining about the tyrant. He also often writes poems to discipline women, secretly using the princess as a negative example. The news has spread to Jiangnan.】

[Tsk tsk, knowing that Prince Li is planning to ascend to the throne, he still enthusiastically meets Prince Li's son and they have a very pleasant conversation. Is he planning to climb up the social ladder? ]

Xiao Jingfan's eyes turned cold and he quickly glanced at Academician Zhang.

Grand Secretary Zhang suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He looked around but found nothing unusual.

He touched his back with his back hand, thinking that it was probably because he didn't wear enough clothes and it was cold standing in the wind. He would have to ask a doctor to see him when he got home, to make sure he didn't catch a cold.

[Oh, Prince Li is really not afraid of the tyrant's anger. He actually wants to seduce Princess Gaochang and make Gaochang an ally. What can I say... Is there a big "Come and cuckold me" written on the tyrant's forehead? This cuckold is so bright, it can save a lot of lamp oil money at night. ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Where is his musket?

Chu Liuzheng, who had no idea that his life was in danger, quietly glanced up and down at Prince Li's body and curled his lips.

[Tsk tsk, why didn't you investigate before hooking up? Princess Gaochang likes strong and sturdy warriors, but she doesn't like this little body that looks good but is useless... No, it's a small body that is neither good-looking nor useful. The tyrant is good-looking after all, Prince Li should go back and practice for ten or eight years before coming back.]

Xiao Jingfan couldn't tell for a moment whether Liu Zheng was praising him or scolding him.

What does it mean to look good in both good and bad ways? This woman is really blind!
Chu Liuzheng was about to look away when he accidentally caught sight of the white jade ring worn on the thumb of Prince Li's right hand, and a sudden "biu" sound came into his head.

[White Jade Ring! Holy shit!! Ahh ...

She turned into a screaming chicken. Xiao Jingfan's head was buzzing, as if someone had hit him hard on the head.

He clenched his fists in restraint, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and gritted his teeth to endure it.

Stop yelling!! Tell me what's the important thing!!

At this moment, the Minister of Works touched Minister Dou's arm and nodded towards the emperor.

Ever since Minister Dou learned that his daughter had been demoted to a noble lady for murdering the royal heir, he has been worried. Sometimes he feared that the emperor would vent his anger on the Dou family, and sometimes he worried about his daughter's situation.

Seeing the Minister of Works like this, he had to perk up and look over. After seeing the emperor's expression clearly, he was immediately shocked.

Your Majesty is angry!
Is this because you are dissatisfied with the performance of the Firearms Battalion?

He looked at the Minister of Works in doubt and surprise.

The Minister of Works gave his fellow sufferer a bitter smile - Your Majesty is probably not satisfied with either of our work.

Minister Dou's face turned pale immediately.

The house leaks but it rains all night!
The Minister of Industry sighed softly, raised his hand and patted Minister Dou on the shoulder, "Let's just pray for the best."

Minister Dou: "..."

No, he can't sit still and wait for death!

He had to do something quickly.

By the way, it has been snowing recently and there might be a snowstorm. You can ask your family to prepare money and food first, and then take the lead in donating food and supplies after something happens. His Majesty will definitely be happy!

Yes, that’s it!!
The Minister of Works was also thinking of ways to remedy the situation. He decided to ask someone to do a careful calculation after he returned and think of a way. If he could reduce the cost of repairing the palace next year by half, His Majesty would definitely be very pleased.

As for the improvement of agricultural tools, we must also urge the craftsmen to speed up the progress and produce finished products for Your Majesty to review as soon as possible.

and also……

Xiao Jingfan, who had no idea that his two beloved ministers had completely misunderstood him, finally stopped screaming in his head. He let out a light breath, and he was just about to throw that woman off the platform.

He is truly a wise ruler.

[Treasure! ! The key to unlock the treasure! ! How could I have forgotten it? ]

Chu Liuzheng wanted to hit his head. What kind of memory is this like a goldfish?

Xiao Jingfan was shocked.

Treasure?

What treasure?
Where is the treasure?
[The white jade ring in the hand of Prince Li is the key to the treasure. As long as we find the mysterious man, we can exchange it for the treasure map, and then we can go treasure hunting! ]

When Chu Liuzheng first came across this gossip, he regretted that the key was not in his hands.

When dividing Jiang Wantang's inheritance, she specifically asked for the white jade ring, thinking that she would look for the mysterious man after leaving the palace. Maybe the mysterious man was blind and mistook Jiang Wantang's white jade ring for the real thing?

Although the possibility is not high, what if she gets lucky?
