Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

capital offense?

Convicted?

Seeing that the situation was not chaotic, Ling Tian smiled contemptuously: "Manager Liu, what are you talking about?"

"Ah."

Liu Jin also knew how powerful Ghost Face was: "Sir, why do you have to continue to cover up?"

"Your Majesty's secret guards have long been spread all over the world, although you were very covert before, even difficult to detect."

"However, your presence in Sanshan Town was still noticed by the secret guards."

"I don't even need to say anything more about you colluding with the Gong family to open a special show, right?"

kindness?

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows: "Is this a capital crime?"

"Sir." Liu Jin raised his voice a little: "You robbed the treasure of the Zhenbei Palace, isn't this a capital crime?"

"Pedantism."

Ling Tian said disdainfully: "The Sixth Prince's sky-high betrothal gift is a royal item, clearly priceless, but it's a pity that just because of the word royal, it can be said to be like waste."

"Now, I am doing this just to let these jewels play their due value."

Liu Jin didn't expect Gui Mian to admit it like this, and he couldn't help but feel like something was stuck in his throat: "Sir, do you know that by doing this, you have committed a capital crime?"

"idiot."

Ling Tian cursed: "Didn't I tell you that I did this just so that the people of the world can enjoy the emperor's grace at this time?"

The emperor’s grace?

Liu Jin didn't know how to respond, so he could only snort and say, "Sir, according to the power of the Gong family, this betrothal gift can be auctioned off for a sky-high price."

"I just don't know what you did after you got these silver coins."

"What do you want to do?"

Silver?

Ghost Face said disdainfully: "Idiot, of course it is used to develop smallpox."

"Everyone can see that Huai Tong's group is here because Emperor Wu wants the Sixth Prince to die, so he found a reason to send him to Guanzhong."

"After all, smallpox is not something that has just appeared. It has been around since the beginning of recorded history."

"But what you didn't expect is that standing behind His Highness the Sixth Prince is me, the nemesis of that flower."

Ling Tian's words were extremely confident, but Liu Jin trembled: "Sir, don't speak nonsense, your majesty has no such thoughts."

Nonsense?

Ling Tian said disdainfully: "Manager Liu, why do you have to lie with your eyes open at this time?"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, everything has already been determined."

"Or do you mean that you think that even though all the civil and military officials in the court can see clearly, I can't?"

"Isn't that too humiliating for me?"

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, and could only say: "Even if it is to develop smallpox, it would never cost so much."

many?

Ling Tian shook his head: "You old fellow have been with Emperor Wu for decades, how can you say such shameless words?"

"The development of any item requires a lot of manpower and material resources."

"You don't really think you can make it just by mentioning it casually, do you?"

"Besides, the Emperor Wu is so stingy that he wants the Sixth Prince to die in Huaitong this time, but he should at least not do something so outrageous."

"Before leaving, they didn't give me any money at all, and even took a thousand people with them. Don't they need money to feed and feed these thousand people?"

"Or do you think you can just go and rob like the bandits?"

"Or does it mean that the Sixth Prince has money to pay in advance?"

Liu Jin was so angry that he lost his temper: "Sir, even if that's the case, it won't cost so much silver. I've estimated that once the betrothal gifts are auctioned off, they will cost a lot of money."

"It should be around five million silver coins."

five million?

Ling Tian did not hide it: "I roughly calculated it, it seems to be seven million."

"what?"

Liu Jin was trembling when he heard this. This much silver was equivalent to Daqian's tax revenue for a quarter. Was it really that valuable? Or was he trying to trick him?

Ling Tian said disdainfully: "Manager Liu, your mentality is not good. This is nothing, but you are scared like this."

"How will you work beside Emperor Wu in the future?"

Liu Jin was so embarrassed that he was furious: "Sir, since you have admitted it yourself, then tell me, what will you do with the remaining silver?"

"Are you planning a rebellion?"

trap!

Liu Jin asked this because he wanted to test Ling Tian. Unfortunately, he underestimated Ling Tian. "Manager Liu, you are not so naive, are you?"

"I am obviously a very talented person, but I want to help the Sixth Prince. Don't I have anything to ask for?"

Seeking wealth?

Liu Jin couldn't figure it out at all. Is this really the ghost face he knew?

Don't seek wealth.

Not seeking fame.

Just want to be free and easy?

Why is it that even the ghost mask we see today cannot escape the vulgarity?

Ling Tian put his hands behind his back and said, "Manager Liu, do you have any other questions? I can answer them for you one by one."

"you……"

Liu Jin wanted to continue to investigate, but a slight cough was heard at the scene, which frightened everyone at the scene and made them turn around. Liu Jin became even more nervous: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu?

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and looked towards the restaurant hall in front of him. At this time, the door of the hall slowly opened. The dignified Emperor Wu stood at the door with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.

At this time, he looked Ling Tian up and down.

He seemed to want to see through Ling Tian's inner thoughts, but Ling Tian didn't give him the chance at all: "Your Majesty, it seems that you are finally willing to show up."

"Sir, you are being rude."

Liu Jin turned around and shouted, but heard Emperor Wu snort: "Liu Jin, step down."

"His Majesty."

"Alright." Emperor Wu said, "Let everyone leave. What you just said does make sense. There are some things that I did not do well enough."

Liu Jin was stunned when he heard this. Emperor Wu was admitting his mistake. But Emperor Wu had a very stubborn temper, so how could he admit his mistake so easily?

Could it be that Emperor Wu just gave in like that?

Is this still the emperor I know?

While he was thinking, Liu Jin bowed and left. Emperor Wu glanced at the ghost face, turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "Come in and talk."

Ling Tian did not hesitate to enter the restaurant. At this time, wine and meat were already prepared on the table. Ling Tian acted casually. Emperor Wu was surprised: "Are you really not afraid that I will kill you?"

"you will not."

Ling Tian leaned casually: "Let's not talk about skills. If you, a secret guard, want to kill me, I'm afraid it's impossible, unless you do it yourself."

"Let's talk about the fate of Daqian. It is now stable, but there are undercurrents. You need my help to stabilize the Daqian court for you, otherwise you will be alone."

Can't stand alone?

Emperor Wu was not angry when he heard this, but smiled heartily: "You understand me."

"But you miscalculated one thing. This time I sent Lao Liu to Guanzhong not because I wanted to plot against him."

"But I want him to grow up quickly with your help."

"after all."

"The sixth child is my most proud child."
